Betty's POV

"He's your what?!" Jane's voice echoed across the workplace.

"Shh!" I covered her mouth and glanced around. Luckily, it was just the two of us as the other workers hadn't arrived yet. We were the opening team today, preparing everything for the food chain to open.

"And you're engaged to him? Oh my god!" Her eyes widened, and her face flushed. "So, that Diego is your bodyguard? That huge, muscular guy?"

I nodded briefly. I know it's hard to believe, but I need someone who is on my si

    Betty's POV"He's your what?!" Jane's voice echoed across the workplace."Shh!" I covered her mouth and glanced around. Luckily, it was just the two of us as the other workers hadn't arrived yet. We were the opening team today, preparing everything for the food chain to open."And you're engaged to him? Oh my god!" Her eyes widened, and her face flushed. "So, that Diego is your bodyguard? That huge, muscular guy?"I nodded briefly. I know it's hard to believe, but I need someone who is on my side, and Jane is the only person I trust aside from Jason."Oh well…" she blinked, composing herself. "That's good anyway. I mean, you know, life is tough. Very, very tough… You struggle so much, and I understand what it feels like to have nothing. I'm really happy for you!" She smiles brightly.Jane and I are at the same stage in life—we're both poor. However, she has more responsibilities than I do. She has siblings who rely solely on her since both of her parents are unemployed. Essentially, J

  • When a Mafia Boss, Drake Del Fiore, Fall At Your Feet   Chapter 16. Rules

    Betty's POV I can't take my eyes off the ring I'm wearing as it sparkles each time the light hits the stone.I wonder how much this ring costs. Is this a real diamond or a fake one? Honestly, who cares if it's real or not? We're not real anyway, so it doesn't matter!"That's a real diamond, Betty. I'm not giving you anything cheap."My brows raise slightly. "I did not ask," I say, twisting my lips."Yes, you didn't, but I can read your mind," he said, smiling.Our dinner arrives, and I'm surprised to see that an actual chef is plating it for us.The veranda is adorned with fairy lights and fresh flowers, creating a magical atmosphere. It offers a beautiful view of the pool, where candles float on the water and petals are scattered all around. Although there is no music playing, the gentle breeze is more than enough to set the mood for tonight."Enjoy your meal," the chef said, and everyone left, leaving Diego standing at a distance.I glanced at him. He smiled slightly and winked at

    Betty's POVI guess he came at the right time. That's okay.The food is delicious. I'm enjoying it, but not fully because my mind is flying somewhere, thinking of Jason.He's right. I'm desperate, trying to solve everything with money, using Drake as my sponsor and an easy way out of my problems financially.I should be ashamed. I should be stoned to death."The house is ready for you to move in, my love. Your parents are arriving this weekend, and I've already prepared their rooms. If you'd like to visit my place first to see if there's anything you'd like to add before they arrive, that would be wonderful."I paused and looked at him. He simply winked mischievously.Goodness me! The man across from me seems like a living god hiding many secrets. I should be scared, but here I am, casually eating without worry."I will. Maybe next time when I'm free." I look at my food and continue eating."Then, are you free tomorrow night? Let's have dinner at home.""T-Tomorrow?" I swallow the las

  • When a Mafia Boss, Drake Del Fiore, Fall At Your Feet   Chapter 14. Fall at her feet

    Drake Lucas Del FioreTwo weeks after meeting Betty, I secretly asked Lorenzo Ferrero for a favor. He's the only person I could trust with this. I'm being careful not to get caught by Eagle or anyone whose eyes were preying on me, waiting for me to hit my downfall.Now, I received his signal. He wants me to review the info sent via a burner device, which can't be traced. If I open it now and turn it off after reading, it means deleting all the data inside.My eyes widened a fraction, and my heart palpitated fast as I read the content inside.What the hell? What the fuck did I just discover? Huh, bloody hell. This is insane.I turn it off right away and deactivate the device. I send Lorenzo a signal, and my phone vibrates. It's him. He is calling."So, it's true?" I chuckle, smiling wickedly as I jerk my head.Seeing Betty at the shopping mall last night was not what I expected. Afterward, Carmella bombarded me with many questions. She caused me a lot of trouble, and I refused to say a

  • When a Mafia Boss, Drake Del Fiore, Fall At Your Feet   Chapter 13. Desperate

    Betty's POVI get out of the car, feeling sick after seeing Drake. We already dropped off Jane. I was quiet the entire time, while Diego never stopped talking about his day.I wonder who that woman was with him earlier?Dang, self. I sighed uncomfortably."I'll see you tomorrow, Miss Betty," Diego said, dipping his head lightly. He seemed serious tonight as he shared his day with me, which I had already forgotten what it was all about."Okay… um, Diego?" I called out to him. I was about to step inside, but my body betrayed me. I couldn't bring myself to enter the gate. I needed to ask Diego something."Do you and Drake… um, no, no, not that," I stammer at my own words. I don't know how to ask him without hurting his feelings."How long have you and Drake known each other?""Hmm, let me think…" His head jerks up quickly and then back at me."I knew Drake when he was only sixteen. Although he did not notice me at that time, I already knew him. His reputation with notorious gangs was pre

    Betty's POV"Do you want to try it, Miss?"The lady staff member was beside me now, asking questions. I couldn't take my eyes off Drake. I stood frozen, unable to move, my heart racing fast.Who's with him? Is that his. . . lover?No, there's no way Drake is attracted to women. I took the offer because he wants me to be his cover, which means he's not into girls. He and Diego are probably an item."Uhm," I clear my throat and look away."I’m confident these will fit me. Thank you, I’ll take them," I say to the lady staff. She nods and quickly wraps the shoes back inside the box.I walk straight away, trying to look for Jane. I want to get away from here. I don't want to see Drake together with that woman."Betty!"I hear Jane's voice from behind. She waves at me, smiling brightly."I found it! Are you done? Are those your shoes?" She looks at the box I am holding."Uh-huh. We need to go. I'm hungry." I pull her with me to the counter to pay.“Wow, these shoes are beautiful, Betty. The
