All Chapters of Surrogate For The Mafia Lord: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

It was night when Bella jolted awake. She gasped as her eyes shot open, her heart racing in her chest. For a moment, she didn't know where she was. The darkness around her felt oppressive, suffocating, and a sense of panic threatened to overwhelm her.She turned around to observe her surroundings, trying to make sense of the unfamiliar room. As her eyes adjusted to the dim light, she saw Killian sitting by her bedside. His head was bowed, his shoulders slumped with what looked like exhaustion or worry. At the sound of her movement, his head shot up, his eyes quickly finding hers in the darkness.He sighed in relief when he registered that she was awake. "You're back," he said, his voice rough with fatigue.Still laying down, Bella tried to piece together what had happened. Her memories were fragmented, hazy. She remembered the mall, the cotton candy, and then... Killian's anger. The fight. His hands on her jaw. After that, everything went black."What happened?" she asked, her throat

Bella, Angela and Killian entered the lavishly decorated event hall side by side. The room sparkled with chandeliers and fancy decorations. People in expensive clothes chatted loudly while servers carried trays of drinks around.Angela pointed at a table and Bella nodded to her. With a quick smile, Angela ran over to the spot, leaving Bella alone with Killian.Killian held out his arm. Bella hesitated for a moment before taking it. They stared at each other, neither saying a word. Bella's heart beat faster as she felt his arm against hers."Ready?" Killian asked, his voice low enough that only she could hear."I guess so," Bella replied, suddenly aware of how out of place she felt.As they walked further into the venue, Bella couldn't help but notice people watching them. She wondered what they thought of her, dressed in her best clothes that still probably looked cheap compared to everyone else's.A man with slicked-back hair and a tailored suit approached them, handing Killian a dri

Angela and Killian were sitting at a round table with several other people from the party. Bella could see them from where she stood, but she couldn't hear what they were talking about. Angela was gesturing with her hands as she spoke, and Killian was nodding along. Some of the other people at the table were laughing at something Angela had said.Bella found herself smiling as she watched them. Angela looked so happy and animated. She was clearly enjoying herself at the party. Killian seemed more relaxed too, not as serious as he usually was. Bella chuckled softly to herself as she watched their interactions.She was so focused on watching them that she didn't notice someone approaching her from behind. The sharp click of high heels on the floor got closer and closer, but Bella was too distracted to pay attention."You like him."Bella jumped at the sound of the voice right next to her ear. She quickly turned her head to the side and saw Nora standing there. Nora was wearing a sleek b

Killian walked back into his room slowly. His mind was still on what had just happened in the hallway with Bella. He could still feel her lips on his and the way she had responded to his kiss.He looked around his room and spotted his suit jacket hanging on the chair where he had left it earlier. He walked over and reached into the pocket, pulling out the white flower that Bella had placed there at the party.The flower was a bit wilted now, but it still had a sweet smell. Killian brought it up to his nose and breathed in the scent. A small smile appeared on his face as he remembered how Bella had tucked it into his pocket."Flowers are good luck anyway," she had said."Bella," he said quietly to himself, still holding the flower. "You're my lucky charm."He sat down on the edge of his bed, still holding the flower and thinking about her. He thought about how she had looked when she was dancing with him. He thought about how she had laughed at the strange man who had tried to give her

As they walked toward the car, Bella couldn't help but feel curious about why Killian had come to find her at the church. It seemed like such an unusual thing for him to do."Is everything alright?" Bella asked, looking at Killian with concern in her voice.Killian glanced at her as he opened the car door. "Angela missed you," he said simply. "She was worried when she couldn't find you this morning."Bella felt her heart warm at hearing that Angela had been worried about her. It meant so much to know that the little girl cared about her that much."Also," Killian continued, "Angela has got a surprise for you."Bella looked down at Angela, who was practically bouncing with excitement. The little girl's eyes were sparkling with joy.Angela shined her teeth at Bella in the biggest smile she could manage. "It's a really good surprise, Bella! You're going to love it!""I can't wait to see it," Bella said, smiling back at Angela's infectious enthusiasm.They all got into the car together. B
