Semua Bab Forced to Marry a Mafia Boss My Children Don’t Belong to You: Bab 1 - Bab 7

The room they kept me in was small and windowless. I didn’t know if it was day or night, nor how much time had passed since they locked me in there. The silence was so dense it sometimes made it hard to breathe. The only thing that broke the monotony was when they brought food, always leaving it without saying a word, as if I were an invisible prisoner.Valentino hadn’t returned since that day I cursed him so viciously that, after he left, I truly thought he might kill me."I want to get out of here!" I screamed with all my strength.His absence was starting to gnaw at my mind. I had to talk to him, tell him what was stuck like a thorn in my chest: that I wouldn’t take away his right to be in the child’s life… but I wasn’t going to hand him over completely either. That baby was mine too. And I… I was much more than an incubator—I was his mother!I sat on the cot, staring into nothing.
