Lahat ng Kabanata ng Acknowledged By A Mafia Leader: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

Last week, she began noticing slight but concerning changes in her body. Frequent exhaustion, morning sickness, nausea, and vomiting.At first, she brushed it off, thinking it was nothing serious. She took some over-the-counter medication, hoping it would pass. But it only got worse. That was when she decided to visit the hospital.The result was nothing like what she expected.She was three weeks pregnant.Shock rooted her to the spot as the doctor delivered the news. For a long moment, she sat in stunned silence, unable to form a single word or reaction.The last person she’d had unprotected sex with was Reid. That, she remembered clearly.But how on earth was she going to tell him?As far as she could tell, Reid had been distant lately, showing little interest in her. So how was he going to take the news?With a weary sigh, she flagged down a cab and gave the driver her home address. Deep down, she knew there was no escaping this. She had to tell him first before taking any further

A heavy silence stretched between them.“What do you mean… take care of it?” Charlotte’s voice trembled. “Are you saying I should get rid of it?”“What else do you plan to do with it?” Reid snapped. “Do I look like someone ready to be a father? To you? You really think someone like you could ever be my baby mama?”His words cut deep, sharper than she expected. And he made no effort to soften the blow. It was clear. Reid didn’t want the child… and he didn’t want her.“Quit dreaming, girl. Maybe, just maybe I might’ve taken a liking to you if you hadn’t been so pathetically head over heels for Zac. A man who never even looked your way,” Reid sneered.Charlotte’s sobs rang loudly in his ears, but it didn’t stop him. He pressed on, his tone as cold as steel.“Now listen carefully. Don’t ever call me about this again. Do whatever you want with the pregnancy, but let it be known; I don’t give the slightest damn. Do you understand me?”Her soft whimpers turned into ragged sobs. She had known

Ava stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body.Her gaze landed on the fairy male sleeping on the bed, and her lips automatically stretched into a smile. The man had fallen asleep after he nearly crumpled her legs.Funny enough, he was the one who had unintentionally tried to crack her legs, yet he was the one sleeping instead.At the thought of their many make-out sessions, Ava’s face flushed red as a wave of heat spread through her. No matter how long they had been together, she could never get enough of him.She grinned and briefly shut her eyes, but they flew open again when memories of last night came rushing in; memories of her parents. She quickly swallowed and shook her head, as though forcing the thoughts away. She had made a promise not to think about them and had every intention of living a good life without them.Just then, a shrill ringtone pierced the quiet. Ava turned toward the sound and saw Zac’s phone ringing on the tea table.She quickly scampe

The car glided to a halt within the vast, sprawling compound that cradled the grand duplex that held mild of Zac’s childhood memories.The chauffeur stepped out and opened the door for Zac, who emerged with quiet composure. His shoes touched the familiar pebble driveway, and with each echoing footfall, memories of his early years with his mother played through his mind, the little moments that had meant the most.Ava, sensing his mood, remained silent and walked closely beside him.As they neared the grand entrance, the massive wooden door adorned with intricate carvings stood tall before them. Zac took a deep breath, pushed it open, and stepped inside with Ava just behind him.“Surprise!”A chorus of jubilant voices erupted as Zac crossed the threshold, the familiar scent of home wrapping around him like a warm embrace.Zac froze at the entrance, his brows knitting in confusion as he scanned the room. Ava stood beside him, exchanging a puzzled glance with him.“Zac!”Aurora’s tiny vo

By the time Ava finished freshening up, she was stunned to see that Zac had completely changed into a different outfit. He looked like he was heading out.“Going somewhere?” Ava asked as she studied him closely.With a height well over six feet, a strong build, a sharply defined jaw, raven-black hair, and an undeniably handsome face, he looked like every girl’s dark fantasy.“I need to attend an important party, but I’ll be back before you know it,” Zac said gently, closing the distance between them and pressing a kiss to her forehead.Ava stared at him, as if what he said made no sense. “You’re going to a party without me?”“Yes, baby. It would be a lot better if you didn’t come with me,” Zac said with a small smile.“But I want to come with you. And if you keep insisting I shouldn’t, then it means you’re hiding something from me,” Ava replied firmly, her eyes sharp with suspicion.Zac let out a scoff of disbelief. “What could I possibly be hiding from you after everything we’ve been
