Page 59 of Ruthless Mafia Daddy

“He made me his fucking assistant and gave me a stupidly high salary.”

“What a dick.”

My temper flares at the amusement in her eyes. “This is not funny.”

“He likes you.”

“You were literally just saying the other night that his behavior is creepy and giving off stalker vibes.”

“I did.” Cassi puts her hands on her hips. “I’m on a loss about this guy.”

“Well, you’re going to have to figure it out if he turns out to be my baby daddy.”

Cassi rolls her eyes, bending down to pick up the box and pull out the test.

“Pee on the damn stick, Lila.”

Two minutes feels like a lifetime as I sit on the closed lid of the toilet, Cassi leaning against the sink, the stick beside her.

“My life could literally change forever, Cass.”

“This could be a blessing.” Cassi offers me a warm smile.

“How? Please tell me how being a single mother is going to be a blessing?”

“You’ve always wanted kids.”

I sigh, putting my head in my hands.

“Yes, but I imagined myself married, with a cute little house in the suburbs. Not some tiny studio apartment that I can barely afford. Plus, can you imagine what my auntie’ll say? She’ll kill me.”

“If it’s positive, are you going to tell Andre?”

I lift my head from my hands and look at her.

“I… I honestly don’t know.” I don’t know him, except for the kind of information you’d put on a police report.

“He’s the father. He has a right to know.”

“But then I’m tied to him forever.” I run my hands through my hair.

This is all happening too fast. Andre was only meant to be a night of mind-blowing sex to kickstart me back into the dating world after Sam tore my heart to shreds.

Instead, he might have ruined my career and impregnated me with the heir to his mafia empire.

“What does it say, Cass?” I place my hand over my racing heart.

Cassi takes a deep breath and reaches for the test.

“Fuck, Lila. It’s positive.”

ANDRE

“Lila, please come in here.” I can almost hear her huff, and I smirk.

She knocks on my office door before letting herself inside. “Yes, Mr. De Luca?”
