Page 49 of Mafia Boss's Baby Surprise

“Okay.” She bobs her head. “I can do that, but what are you planning to do?”

“I don’t know yet. Just make sure no one finds out about the appointment. Use a fake name. It has to be a doctor who doesn’t know my family.”

“Not in this city, then. I know.”

“Yeah.”

“But what about Luca? He’s the baby’s father, right? Will you tell him? Do I have to set up a meeting with him too or something?”

“His full name is Luca Di Domenico.”

Julia blinks at me and wrinkles her nose. “Wait, what are you saying? Di Domenico? As in, the Di Domenicos who killed your uncle?”

I nod.

She covers her mouth with her hand. “What the fuck? But how? Does he know who you are?”

“I don’t know.”

“Did he get you pregnant on purpose?”

“I don’t know.”

“Oh hell.” Julia runs her hand through her hair. “That’s just... insane.”

Finally something Idoknow. Yep, it’s definitely insane.

“What if he tells your father?” she whispers.

“Wouldn’t he have already done it after we had sex? But I don’t know. Maybe he’s just waiting for the right opportunity.”

“I... I honestly don’t know what to tell you.” Julia keeps shaking her head. “But Luca couldn’t have planned it all, right? How would he know when and where we’d show up? It doesn’t make any sense. Even if he somehow found out about you... He didn’t affect our choices or helped us sneak out of the house. If someone saw us and Luca was in contact with that person, he would’ve used the info to get to your father, not done all this to you.”

“So it’s all just a crazy coincidence? Me running into him and everything?”

“Well, yeah. Wrong time, wrong place. Shit happens.”

“But what if he figured it out later? After we hooked up?”

“You would’ve noticed something, and he would’ve kidnapped you to get what he wants from your father. Come on. Was he acting weird?”

“No. I don’t know. It’s just...”

“Let’s hope he doesn’t know then. That would be really, really good.”

“What do you mean?” I tilt my head at her. “Good, how? He’s my family’s enemy! He hates us!”

“But if he doesn’t know, he doesn’t know. You never told him your full name or anything about yourself, right?”

“Well, yeah, but—”

“You need someone who’ll protect you from your father and his men. Running away is difficult because you need a lot of money, and you need a good hiding place where you can’t be found. I can give you my lifetime’s savings, but I don’t think it’ll be enough. You can’t go alone either. Imagine your pregnancy on the run, and you can’t even go to a doctor when you need one. Even if you weren’t pregnant, it would be difficult. Like this, almost impossible. Luca is your answer.”

“I still don’t get what you’re saying. Once Luca finds out who I am, all hell will break loose.”

“Then make sure he doesn’t find out. Your father will be looking for you, but he definitely won’t expect to find you at Luca’s place.”

“Um, wouldn’t that be the first place where he’d look? If I go missing, my father might think his enemy kidnapped me. He’ll ask Luca about it or threaten him, and then Luca will put two and two together and figure it all out.”
