All Chapters of The Ruthless Mafia Wants Me to Bear His Child: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

He watched me for a few seconds, then suddenly shifted in his seat as though he was about to stand up. Before he could do anything, however, his phone rang.He answered the call.From where I sat, I couldn't make out his conversation. I could only hear his low, composed voice and a few brief sentences that sounded firm and authoritative.He spoke for approximately ten minutes.Meanwhile, I forced myself to focus on my laptop. I opened several job-search websites, entered the relevant keywords, and began submitting applications.I didn't have time to admire a handsome stranger, no matter how ridiculously attractive he was.I needed a job.And I needed one fast.My fingers were busy typing when a shadow suddenly fell across my table.I frowned and looked up.And nearly dropped my coffee cup.The handsome man from the window was standing right in front of me.Good heavens. He was even more attractive up close."Miss, would you mind if I talked to you for a moment?" he asked.I stared at

Until recently, I had operated in a world where a single careless decision could cost someone their fortune, their freedom, or their life.I had built my own weapons-trading network from the ground up, establishing connections across several international markets. Some of my business had involved supplying weapons to conflict zones in the Middle East, Somalia, and other regions where demand never seemed to disappear.It had taken years of calculated decisions, sleepless nights, and sacrifices I would never speak about openly.I had earned my position through intelligence, negotiation, and a willingness to make difficult choices when everyone else hesitated.I hadn't inherited my business.I had built it myself.Every connection. Every deal. Every asset.Mine.Until someone betrayed me.The betrayal had come from inside my own network. Someone who knew my operations, understood my security arrangements, and had access to information that should never have left my inner circle.During t

That afternoon, while I was trying to figure out my next move, my phone rang.An unfamiliar number flashed across the screen.“Hello, this is Sevra Monace speaking.”“Good afternoon, Ms. Monace. My name is Michael, Mr. Victor Haulette’s executive assistant. You've met him briefly yesterday.”I straightened in my seat.“Yes, I remember. Is there something I can help you with?”“Mr. Haulette would like to invite you for an interview tomorrow at ten in the morning. Would that work for you?”I blinked in surprise.An interview? With the CEO himself?Well, I certainly hadn't expected that.“Tomorrow at ten? Yes, I'm available.”“Excellent. Please come to Haulette Tower and let the receptionist know you're expected. I'll meet you in the lobby.”“Understood. Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Michael.”We exchanged a few more pleasantries before ending the call.I stared at my phone for a moment, then smiled faintly.Perhaps my luck was finally beginning to turn.Or perhaps I was simply walki

Almost an hour later, the door opened.Michael returned with a broad smile.“Ms. Monace, congratulations. You've passed the first stage.”I stood.“Thank you.”“Please follow me. Mr. Haulette would like to conduct the final interview himself.”I paused for half a second.The final interview? With the CEO?My stomach tightened.This was getting increasingly unusual.Nevertheless, I followed Michael back to the elevator.This time, he pressed the button for the ninety-ninth floor.As the elevator climbed, I tried to settle my nerves.All right. It's just another interview.I'd negotiated with dangerous men, navigated volatile situations, and survived a betrayal that would have destroyed most people.Surely, I could survive a conversation with a handsome CEO.Surely.The elevator doors opened.The atmosphere on the ninety-ninth floor was different from anything I'd seen below. It was quieter, more exclusive, and almost intimidating in its restraint. Silver and charcoal tones dominated the

From the cafeteria, Michael took me to the thirty-fifth floor, where Haulette's security division was based. It was also one of the facilities where the company's bodyguards received their training.Until then, I'd known Haulette mainly for its real estate business and shopping malls. I hadn't realized the company also provided professional security services.Apparently, they supplied security personnel for offices and bodyguards for celebrities and well-known politicians.Michael explained that Haulette had numerous contracts with prominent public figures, providing highly trained bodyguards to protect them.I listened with growing interest."So, do the bodyguards do all their training here?" I asked."Not exactly. They start with physical training at one of our camps in another city. Once they pass that stage, they come here to learn about security strategies and situational awareness."He paused before adding, "Being a bodyguard isn't just about being physically strong. They need to
