Semua Bab The Skull King: An Alpha Male Dark Mafia Romance: Bab 151 - Bab 160

“I saw her on her date and marched over there to scream at her. I almost drove away because I knew it would be wrong to bother her. But when I realized she was pregnant…I lost my temper. I knocked her date to the ground and confronted her.”“She was on a date while she was pregnant?” he asked incredulously.“It doesn’t surprise me. She looks just as beautiful now as she did before.”“I don’t know about that…”“When I got in her face, she told me it wasn’t mine…” Sadness entered my tone, disappointed that she constantly had to suffer at the hands of other men. Lucian knocked her up, and now she had to raise his baby alone.“So, it’s Lucian’s?” he asked in surprise.I nodded then took a drink.“Jesus…that’s terrible.”“I don’t know why she kept it. No one would have judged her if she didn’t want to raise her rapist’s baby.”“She probably didn’t have the heart to do it. They say once a woman is pregnant, she becomes a mother. Maybe she already felt like a mother. Besides, the baby is sti

“Don’t tell me how I feel, baby. You have no idea.”I ignored what he said. “And these last two months have been terrible too. I’m in a better place now but still just as heartbroken as I was before. All of this heartache could have been avoided if you’d gotten your shit together. But you know what? You didn’t. Your feelings are insincere. You’re only scared because I’m moving on, moving on with this baby and my love life. That’s not how I wanted this to be. I wanted you to want me the way I want you. I refuse to settle for less than what I deserve. I’ve spent so many years with the wrong men, and I’m done with that.” I stepped around him so there would be space between us. “Leave, Balto. I’m done talking to you.”He stayed rooted to the spot, facing the opposite way. His breathing had increased as he digested all the emotions inside his chest. He slowly turned around and looked at me, his eyes focused on my face with sadness.I didn’t want him this way, and I wouldn’t change my mind.

“And why did you do that?”“Because I’m getting Cassini back. It might take some time, but she’s my woman. She loves me, and I love her. I suggest you tell your friend Chicken Boy to stop wasting his time. He’s just a rebound.”Case stared me down with an excellent poker face. “Why are you telling me this? If you think I’ll talk to Cassini on your behalf, you’re wrong.”“No. I can get her back on my own.”“Then why are you here?”“I know how Italian families are. Very traditional. You’re the oldest man in the family, so you’re the patriarch. Cassini doesn’t treat you like you’re just her brother, but as a father figure as well. So I’m here to ask you something.”His olive skin slowly started to turn pale, like soured milk. His fingers released his glass, and he straightened in his chair as he sighed.I reached into the pocket of my jeans and pulled out the ring. I held it up for a second before I set it in the middle of the table. A large diamond cut into a skull, it was one of the sk

In jeans and a t-shirt, he looked exactly the same as the last time I saw him. With a perfectly shaved jawline and stunning blue eyes, he was the beautiful man I dreamed about every single night. He was the man who got me wet with just a look, but he was also the same man who stole my heart.I stared at him for several seconds before I stepped aside so he could come inside.He followed me and shut the door behind me. “I’m surprised you let me in.”“Didn’t want to scream at each other on the doorstep. I’ve got neighbors.” I crossed my arms over my chest and faced him, slightly insecure about the nightdress I wore. It was long and gray, giving my belly a break from wearing pants and jeans. My hair was pulled over one shoulder, and I’d already washed off my makeup and brushed my teeth for bed.But he stared at me like I was the most alluring thing in the world.“Still mad at me?” he asked, his masculine voice deep and seductive.“Always.”The corner of his mouth slightly rose in a smile.

31BaltoWhen I woke up that morning, I was a new man.I wasn’t the ruthless Skull King anymore. I wasn’t the man who crushed the skulls of my enemies. I wasn’t the man who collected taxes from the criminals I ruled.Now I was just a man.A man with a woman.Not just any ordinary woman. But my woman.I spooned her from behind with my arm just above her stomach. My chest was pressed against her small back, and every time I breathed, she breathed too. When I woke up, my hand moved to her stomach, and I felt the sign of life underneath my fingertips. My fingers brushed over her soft skin, unable to believe we’d made this little person together. I never asked her how it happened because it didn’t seem to matter. Women got pregnant from sex—and we had a lot of sex.My face rested against her soft hair, smelling the scent of her shampoo and perfume mixed together. I hadn’t woken up like this in three months, sexually satisfied with my woman beside me.It nearly felt like a dream.I wanted t
