THE MAFIA’S CAPTIVE ANGEL

I woke up to an empty bed with Sin out of sight, and I stretched out my limbs. I definitely wasn’t feeling better this morning; I sat up only to feel the familiar feeling of being nauseousness fill me up.

Ugh, I hate morning sickness. I got up quickly from the bed, with a hand placed on my mouth, and racing to the bathroom, spending nearly two minutes in the bathroom, pouring out my guts as I vomited every last bit of content in my stomach. I flushed the toilet while standing up to brush my teeth. I didn’t have much energy to shower, so I opted for a bath.

After we both let our hearts out yesterday, I couldn’t help but feel we have grown even more closer. I was madly and utterly in love with him, despite the fact that he hasn’t said it yet, I hoped for him to feel the same.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

There were times I wanted to tell him how much I loved him, but it was hard to fight the urge within me not to spill out the L word, not with a baby in the midst of everything. Any time I build up the courage to tell him that I was pregnant, it all goes down the drain, and i find my nerves spiking. My mouth ends up being glued shut, finding it difficult to say anything.

I took off my clothes, stepping into the jacuzzi, with my back laying at the wall of It, as I begin to relax. The warm water coated my skin, as the nauseousness begins to subside .

After spending a reasonable amount of time in the bathtub, I stood up with a towel wrapped around my body and walked back to the room, getting dressed back in my old clothes since I didn’t come with any spare ones. I gave one final look at the mirror, then began making my way out of the room in search for Sin.

I found him in the kitchen, his back towards me, as he had only a pant on, while his upper body was free of any clothing.

“Good morning, Amore.” He spoke in his groggy morning voice.

“Good morning,” I whispered, wrapping my arms around his waist. My cheek pressed against his back while he made us breakfast. The smell of freshly made waffles with bacon mixes well with Sin’s scent of cologne.

I reluctantly let go of him to take a seat on the stool, waiting for him to place the food on the counter.

“This looks delicious.” I smiled when he placed a plate of waffles and bacon in front of me.

“Let’s have breakfast, then we leave,” he stated, taking a seat beside me. I nodded my head in response, and we began eating in comfortable silence.

We finished our breakfast, with me offering to do the dishes while he bathed. Sin refused at first, but later agreed and went back to the room to freshen up. I did the dishes and tidied up, placing everything back in its rightful place. I didn’t have to wait long before Sin walked out, all dressed and ready to go. We walked hand in hand, going outside, with me taking a few pictures of us as we walked down the road to where the car was parked, got in, and he drove off.

“Samantha and I are going out later,” I stated, and we both agreed to go to the hospital today to confirm my pregnancy.

He sighed, and I thought he was going to refuse, but instead he did the opposite. “Okay, I don’t want you cooped up inside, but I don’t plan on letting you go alone anytime you want to go out.” He says this a bit sternly, but instead I just smiled like a maniac.

The drive to the house wasn’t as long as when we were going. When we got home, I hurried up the stairs to change out of yesterday’s clothes into something fresh and clean. I left the room with my phone and bag, texting Samantha to meet me outside.

“Hey, Mani,” Samantha said, coming to stand beside me. She was wearing black jeans, a white top, and a black jacket.

“Hey Sam.”

“How was your one-day adventure?” She asks cockily.

“It was great. We went snowboarding before going to a cabin owned by Sin’s family,” I replied, smiling cheekily.

“Looks like someone had fun,” she teased, laughing out loud, and I playfully rolled my eyes.

“Mateo would be coming with us; how are we going to convince him not to tell Sin?” I spoke, worried.

“Don’t worry, I already thought of something.” I let out a sigh of relief. Sin’s men were loyal to him, so they wouldn’t keep a secret. Even as close as Mateo and I were, he would never betray Sin. So there was no doubt that if I went to a gynaecologist, Sin would be informed. I really hoped whatever plan Samantha had worked.

“Come on, let’s go, so that we can get there before your appointment time.” Samantha said as the both of us walked to the car. “I already called yesterday to set an appointment.”

“Thanks, Sam; I owe you one.”

“What are friends for?” I got into the car first, and Samantha followed afterwards; she gave our destination, and Mateo drove out of the premises in the direction of the mall. The ride wasn’t long because of how free the road was.

We both got out of the car and started walking inside the mall, with Mateo a few steps away from us. We kept going around the mall, not really buying much, till we got to the baby section, and I gave Samantha a look that said, “What the hell are we doing here?”

She let out a sheepish smile, discreetly looking behind us to see what Mateo was doing.

“Hey Mani, can we go to the hospital before we go home?” Samantha stated it out loud for Mateo to hear, and I got a glimpse of what she was playing at.

“Why? Are you sick?” I made sure my voice sounded worried.

“No, I just need to visit a gynaecologist for my birth control shot.”

“Oh, okay.” I responded, trying not to blush at her words.

We gathered all the things we bought, then went back outside to where the car was, getting back in. Samantha gave the direction of the hospital to Mateo, and he drove off. The distance between the mall and the hospital wasn’t much, so we got there on time.

“Can you wait for us in the car? We will be back before you know it,” I requested from Mateo when Samantha and I got out of the room.

“I have been ordered to follow you everywhere, Mani,” he said sternly, not batting an eye.

“What could possibly happen to me in a hospital?” I tried reasoning with him. “Sam just wants to get her birth control shot,” I said again, giving him my best puppy eyes.

He was reluctant to let us go in alone but later agreed when we promised to call if something happened or if we see anything suspicious.
