All Chapters of When a Mafia Boss, Drake Del Fiore, Fall At Your Feet: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Betty's POVToday was another strange day. For some reason, no one is bothering me, not even Maxine, Jason's girlfriend.This coming weekend is our graduation ball. Although Jason is spending time with his parents, he reached out last night to share his plans. He will be back on Friday and hopes to see me before the graduation ball."Is he asking you to be his partner?"My forehead creased.Partner? Tch, Jason asking me to be his partner is impossible. Their department's graduation ball is next week, while my graduation ball is this weekend."No, he isn't. Isn't it obvious? He has a girlfriend, and Maxine will be his partner!""True…"I shake my head as I finish the dishes."Then who will be your partner? Did someone ask you?""Nope. No one."The number of girls in our department is 90% of the number of boys, making it hard to find a partner. If they do find someone, it’s usually their boyfriends.Jason is an engineering student, and his graduation ball doesn’t fall on the same day as

Betty's POVI get out of the car, feeling sick after seeing Drake. We already dropped off Jane. I was quiet the entire time, while Diego never stopped talking about his day.I wonder who that woman was with him earlier?Dang, self. I sighed uncomfortably."I'll see you tomorrow, Miss Betty," Diego said, dipping his head lightly. He seemed serious tonight as he shared his day with me, which I had already forgotten what it was all about."Okay… um, Diego?" I called out to him. I was about to step inside, but my body betrayed me. I couldn't bring myself to enter the gate. I needed to ask Diego something."Do you and Drake… um, no, no, not that," I stammer at my own words. I don't know how to ask him without hurting his feelings."How long have you and Drake known each other?""Hmm, let me think…" His head jerks up quickly and then back at me."I knew Drake when he was only sixteen. Although he did not notice me at that time, I already knew him. His reputation with notorious gangs was pre

Betty's POVI guess he came at the right time. That's okay.The food is delicious. I'm enjoying it, but not fully because my mind is flying somewhere, thinking of Jason.He's right. I'm desperate, trying to solve everything with money, using Drake as my sponsor and an easy way out of my problems financially.I should be ashamed. I should be stoned to death."The house is ready for you to move in, my love. Your parents are arriving this weekend, and I've already prepared their rooms. If you'd like to visit my place first to see if there's anything you'd like to add before they arrive, that would be wonderful."I paused and looked at him. He simply winked mischievously.Goodness me! The man across from me seems like a living god hiding many secrets. I should be scared, but here I am, casually eating without worry."I will. Maybe next time when I'm free." I look at my food and continue eating."Then, are you free tomorrow night? Let's have dinner at home.""T-Tomorrow?" I swallow the las

Betty's POV"He's your what?!" Jane's voice echoed across the workplace."Shh!" I covered her mouth and glanced around. Luckily, it was just the two of us as the other workers hadn't arrived yet. We were the opening team today, preparing everything for the food chain to open."And you're engaged to him? Oh my god!" Her eyes widened, and her face flushed. "So, that Diego is your bodyguard? That huge, muscular guy?"I nodded briefly. I know it's hard to believe, but I need someone who is on my side, and Jane is the only person I trust aside from Jason."Oh well…" she blinked, composing herself. "That's good anyway. I mean, you know, life is tough. Very, very tough… You struggle so much, and I understand what it feels like to have nothing. I'm really happy for you!" She smiles brightly.Jane and I are at the same stage in life—we're both poor. However, she has more responsibilities than I do. She has siblings who rely solely on her since both of her parents are unemployed. Essentially, J

Betty's POVMy heart raced with excitement, feeling as if I were a candle slowly melting in his presence. His gaze holds a magnetic pull, and the scent surrounding him ignites a delightful warmth within me.Why does he look at me like that? It doesn't help. It makes me tense."Drake?" I repeat, hugging myself to hide my breasts.In his eyes, I must seem naked! This is so embarrassing.He cleared his throat, and his lips twitched."Why are you still awake?""Huh?""You should be in bed now, Betty. And please stop hugging yourself like that. I'm not interested in the view." He chuckles as his eyes take in my entire figure.My face falls. I take a moment to relax. I almost forgot that Drake isn't attracted to any woman, especially not to me, since he's into boys like Diego.Ugh, what a mess. But thank goodness!"What happened to your hand?" I moved closer, wanting to see it, but he shyly tucked it behind his back."I'm okay. I took a little tumble earlier," he replied."A fall? You fell?
