All Chapters of Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Rosella’s eyes stayed glued to her phone. She wondered why he sent a text but she forgot it was her doing. She left her phone on do-not-disturb mode, it was the rule in Bright Valley now, since they started allowing them to use their phone during shifts. “Rose” Felix called out and stole her attention. It was like she never got the text, she focused on him and said teasingly. “Shouldn’t you call me ‘miss’? I’m older than you, aren’t I?”His face rapidly turned red from embarrassment. “I’m not that young…” he mumbled. “I heard you” She snapped “But it’s true, I’m eighteen, and you’re… nineteen?” He raised a brow in questioning but Rose was enraged beyond reasoning.“Nineteen my foot! Hey! You should call me lady, in fact, call me Aunty! I’m twenty-one!… well, in three months’ time, that is. Argh! Whatever!” Her feet stomped against the ground in frustration.She was well aware of her petite figure, many times it has caused similar misconceptions but it sucks every time it happens,

The tension outside the car was weighing on Rose, her palms were all sweaty and her body shook from fear but she kept her eyes up, watching Donovan take majestic steps to the center of the space. Their leader had a wide grin plastered on his face but when Donn spoke, the smile instantly disappeared. “You’re right about one thing, I chose a perfect place where no one can locate and no one could hear screams… that’s because I always clean up flawlessly” His gaze darted between the men and the atmosphere instantly grew to a cutting-edge point. “Cut the crap! - Arghhh!”The rest of the leader’s words got stuck in his throat when Donovan fired a shot to his leg, automatically bringing him to his knees while the rest of the men watched with horror. It was the look of instant regret, just like the saying. ‘Who brings a knife to a gunfight?’From the start, their aim was to capture Rose, so with their numbers they didn’t think it’ll be difficult, especially with the metal bats in thei

Mirable’s POV“Miss Mirable, please sign here”The sight of another delivery man traumatized me. I was really going to lose my mind if this continued. I turned to the side of my desk and saw the stack of different flower bouquets. All delivered this morning!There was no point in guessing, I’m well aware of the not-so-secret conversations going on at the desks next to me. Everyone had so much to say and at first, I didn’t care, but this was really getting out of hand.In the end, I signed the papers, and the bouquet of roses was dropped off. That Mitch of a man has done more than enough!“What are these?”I heard Franklin’s chilling voice from above and immediately locked his gaze. Why was he acting like he doesn’t know all about my struggles with Mitch?“I’ll take care of it” I stated and brought out my phone, I glanced at the numerous missed calls which I purposely ignored and decided to call back. Immediately the call connected. “Hello, I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist”

Mirable’s POVEver since Mitch’s awkward stare at the front of his car, he kept giving me the once over while driving and it was starting to get really uncomfortable. Was my new look that provocative or was he just a freak? Of course, these were my inner thoughts and I didn’t express them! I just awkwardly smiled every time our eyes jammed, which was quite often!I thought to put on some music to alleviate the weird tension but the minute I reached for the radio button he reached out as well and our fingers touched.“I’m sorry!” I pulled my hands immediately and the air got even more suffocating.“Why are you apologizing? I did it on purpose”My head slowly turned in disbelief “What?”“I’m saying it was my pure intention to feel your hands”I was left speechless, unsure of how to react then he spoke again. “Is there something going on between you and Franklin?”He dropped the question so casually yet I felt a surge of anger within me, I can’t recall how many times I’ve been ask

Rosella’s POV With the annoying conversation I had with Simon which was no different from barking at a wall. I was now forced to sit at the round table with every one of the pretentious people in my class.I just realized that not everyone from our session was present, it was only the selected group known for their despicable behavior that organized and showed up for this supposed reunion and I’m yet to see Adriana. Does she think her arrival will be a surprise to me? I’m sorry to disappoint her but I’ve already caught on her passionate display in one of the rooms. They were so into it that they didn’t realize the door wasn’t properly shut.My, my Jake must now be too busy with his stolen company to satisfy her desires, if she had to look to someone like Simon for it then it must be a case of chronic neglect. “Rose”I heard my name from one of their mouths and pretended not to hear. I’m only seated here because I’m now curious about their special plans for me. Since they put i
