All Chapters of Mafia Diego's Surrogate : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Diego’s POV“You are really bad at keeping the peace, Diego. You should learn from the best.” Fernando mocked as he chugged down his whiskey.I sucked my teeth, readjusting myself on the couch. I really don’t know what Kamara is doing to me. Something about her just puts me in the same box Nana pushes me into when I wrong her. The look she had in her eyes a while ago as she spoke made my chest ache. Every burn was felt in my core. I had wanted to say something more convincing. To assure her that I didn’t mean what I said it was just out of habit. Now I am just seated and lost in thoughts wondering what I can do to make things right between us.Fernando nudged me on the side, jolting me back to the present. “why aren’t you saying anything?” “What do you want me to say? I know I messed up, but I don’t know how to make things right with her. Kamara is changing something in me. I am not supposed to care this much. It really cant be because she is carrying my child right?” I asked him eve

Kamara’s POVI feel pretty anxious. This isn’t the first time Diego has asked me to just dress up and come with him somewhere without sharing the details of the place. However, there is a difference in the invite this time. It wasn’t an order, more like a plea that I could turn down. At the same time, I am quite curious to find out about this place that he wants to take me to. Our discussion last night was almost heated. I was almost on the verge of getting pissed at him. I would be in New York by now, living one of my dreams if I weren’t pregnant. Maybe he is to blame. If he had agreed to take the money in installments and put a bit of interest, then I would just have to put in more work. All the same, it is not his fault. My parents brought this upon me. Or better still, I brought it upon myself. I should have been selfish.Shaking out all the what-ifs, I tried to check for anything I could wear from my creations. Thankfully, Diego didn’t send me a cloth this time. But then that alw

Kamara’s POVCan’t remember the last time I slept so soundly. I thought my argument with Diego would have made me restless when I intended to sleep. But that wasn’t the case. The moment I had dinner and lay on the bed, sleeping was the only thing that I could think of. Woke up feeling alive and energized. Aside from reminiscing on the possibility of my career going up in flames. I feel good.“What would you like to have for breakfast, ma’am?” the chef asked when I walked into the kitchen.“Hmmn, I am not sure yet. I don’t have much cravings this morning. So I think any nice meal will do.” I replied.She nodded in response and excused herself. I got my apple juice from the fridge and headed to the living room to just relax a bit before I get ready to work. Just as I unscrewed the bottle cap to take a sip. I felt a slight jab in my belly. I waited for a moment to know if I felt it right, then it happened again. A loud gasp escaped my lips as it became more prominent. My baby just kicked

Kamara’s POV“Oh wow. You got gifts.” Chantelle noted as she reached for the gift box that was placed in front of my room. Snatching it from her, I tossed it on the bed, urging her out of the room. “Why would you do that?” she inquired with surprise written on her face.I tucked a loose hair strand behind my ear and kept walking. Can’t say if Diego is around the house or not. Wouldn’t want him to hear me. It's been over a week since he admitted that he would like to get closer to me. Even though I felt good that he thought of me in that sense, I couldn’t help but give in to the thoughts in my head. I have always had trust issues, but it became worse with the relationship I had with Brandon. He made me feel very insecure. Now that I am dealing with someone like Diego whose life is more complex, I do not think it is right for me to get carried away no matter how pleasant that might be. They all act nice and in the blink of an eye, they start acting up again. If my family could betray me

Kamara’s POVComing back home, I thought I was going to find Diego blowing fire in the living room to know where I had been. But to my surprise, he was nowhere to be found. I asked the helpers in the house and they said he hasn’t been in the house since he left in the morning. Made me wonder why he sent the text then. It felt urgent. I contemplated whether to call him or not. Chances are it might be a mistake, so I decided to wait it out until he puts a call through himself.I was just glad that I got away from Brandon at the moment I needed it the most. Who would have thought Diego could come in handy like that? The rest of the day went by peacefully. I was able to eat my snacks and draw out new designs without issues. It made me feel fulfilled. After a while that I got tired, I checked my phone and lingered on my siblings' contact. Contemplating if I should reach out or not. I have to admit that I miss my family every now and then. But when I think it through, they left me to bear t
