Semua Bab Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Rosella’s POV I was being carried away and I kept slipping in and out of mind. My head was dangling over his shoulder and after that I didn’t know what happened.The next thing I felt was a rain of cold water touching my hair and running all the way down to my feet.My eyes peeled open and I gasped for air. The first thing that came to view was Donovan’s figure, it took me a minute to realize my surroundings. He held me in his arms and regulated the water temperature, it was still freaking cold!Was this man tryna freeze me to death!Soon my body was shivering from the cold intrusion and as my head rested on his chest I became aware that his body was the remedy to my current madness.It was almost like every other element of the world was too severe.The air was too sharp, the water was too cold. My body felt too hot but his skin was the balance I was desperately searching for.I wanted more of it, I was like a traveler stuck in a desert and finally stumbled upon a lake. All

Rosella’s POV It’s not like I had a choice, she already let herself in and sashayed towards me. Her eyes were everywhere but on the supposed patient! This made me wonder if this was her first time entering his room. Since she claimed to have worked with the architects of this mansion, surely she should’ve been allowed to roam everywhere! But the look of awe in her eyes told me otherwise, she placed the box on the shelf beside me and took a moment to bask in the enchanting feel of the surroundings.Truly, Donovan’s room was made with the finest materials, it looked straight out of an ancient palace, and if I hadn't been so irritated by everything he touched, I might’ve even enjoyed living here, but sadly that wasn’t the case!“Sit up, let me see where you’re hurt”I had no intention of receiving treatment from someone who looks at me like I’m nothing but scum, so I remained in my position and said “You don’t have to, I’ll visit the hospital tomorrow”“Do you think I want to? Don’t

Rosella’s POV I looked like a criminal avoiding his sprinting figure and turning my head in the opposite direction. “Please you can’t move while I take the sample” The nurse’s voice stopped my childish display. How foolish was I to move while a needle was being inserted into my skin?!After that, a full body examination was conducted and I ended up getting admitted. So here I was in the VIP ward staring at the ceiling trying to think of my next course of action. I obviously don’t plan to have a child for Donovan so I need to move fast on my father’s company. Luckily my twenty-first birthday is drawing nearer and I will finally have access to my inheritance. When that time comes I need to come up with a plan to get Donovan off my back. Just then, the door opened and broke my train of thought. It was nurse delivering the hospital food. They said my vitals were very low and I’m honestly not surprised. With everything that happened, it’s a miracle I’m still alive.“Please eat ca

Rosella’s POV Talk about the worst timing!Donovan’s figure came into view in all his glory and I swallowed the rest of my words. The earlier lively room became gloomy, if Donovan isn’t the seed of discord, I don’t know what is!Even the delivery man stood on edge, poor guy just wanted to do his job but he was having a hard time ignoring Franklin’s death stares. I stayed silent and acted like a series of questions wasn’t thrown at me a while ago. Mirable immediately made a bow and exited the room and Franklin followed behind.To be honest, I was more interested in the discussion soon to happen between Mirable and Franklin than anything Donovan had to say!Sadly, I was left alone with Donovan. “Why did you send a bouquet if you were going to show up anyway?” “It’s the finishing touch” He replied and I stared in confusion. If he was referring to his presence being the icing on the cake then I would gladly add narcissism to his list. “I heard you’re getting discharge, how

Rosella’s POV “One more thing” I stopped their strides and they stared back at me with impatience.“I’ll only speak with your boss”I knew for a fact the arrogant ringleader wasn’t the mastermind behind this and just as I thought he swayed his body in his usual manner and clicked open a burner phone.“Why don’t you relay whatever message you want now?”He really was calling his boss! And I tried to keep up my confident demeanor while my inside trembled with uncertainty. “Hello” My breath hitched in fear but as the voice over the phone continued speaking a new emotion clouded my heart and as if the thug was reading my mind, he suddenly said.“Simon August, that’s the name of our boss. He owns a certified loan company, so we’re backed by the law”He thought he was being smug but my expression of shock was from something else. It’s no wonder the voice sounded familiar. Simon August, the same Simon I have a bone to pick with! The rep of my class in high school and the guy who used
