Claimed By The Ruthless Mafia

Sarah’s POV.

In a cozy corner of the restaurant, I sat opposite my dear friend Julia, the soft glow of Amber light illuminating our faces. It had been nearly a month since we last saw each other, and we were catching up over coffee, sharing the details of our lives.

Julia, with her mischievous charm, leaned forward and asked with a playful wink, “How’s your married life going on, babe?”

A blush crept onto my cheeks as I thought about my marriage. It was like living in a fairytale – everything was simply perfect. It was clear that Alex was starting to like me just as I liked him. And what I discovered this very morning would undoubtedly strengthen our bond even more.

“Oh, Julia, you won’t believe it,” I gushed. “Life with Alex is like a dream come true. He was my dream man, and now he’s my husband. I feel like I’m on cloud nine.”

Julia chuckled and commented with amusement, “Sarah, you’re absolutely glowing. You’re so lucky to have Alex. You’ve turned all the other girls green with envy, and they’re probably blaming their own lack of luck for any negative feelings they might have towards you. He was undoubtedly the most desirable bachelor around.”

A sheepish smile crossed my lips as I admitted, “I know, Julia, and I really wanted to share this news with you.”

“What is it? Tell me! I can’t stand the suspense,” Julia exclaimed, leaning in even closer.

Taking a deep breath, I revealed, “I’m pregnant, Julia.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Julia’s eyes widened, and she gasped, “Whoa! That’s fantastic, babe! I’m going to be a godmother; I’m declaring it right now. No arguments!”

We both laughed heartily at her enthusiastic proclamation, and I felt grateful to have such a supportive friend. But my nerves got the best of me as Julia inquired further, “Did you tell your husband yet?”

Gently biting my lip, I hesitated, “Umm… I’m not sure, Julia. I don’t know how to break this news to him. We never planned for this to happen so soon after our marriage. I already told him that I don’t want to have a kid right now. We’re still in the early stages of our marriage, and we’re both trying to figure out our relationship. I’m just afraid that he might react the way I did when I first learned about my pregnancy – scared and unsure.”

“Don’t worry, babe. Just tell him. He will understand. It’s his child too. And it’s not only your mistake that you got pregnant,” Julia reassured me, her eyes filled with empathy as she reached out to hold my hand, offering a comforting squeeze.

Her words resonated with me, and I let out a soft sigh, realizing that she was right. I needed to share this with Alex, as it was a decision that concerned both of us. My fingers unconsciously caressed my stomach, and as I did so, a wave of tenderness washed over me. I was already beginning to feel a connection with my unborn baby, and deep down, I knew I wanted to embrace motherhood.

“Excuse me?!”

In the midst of my thoughts, a voice interrupted our conversation. I turned my head to see a brunette woman standing before us, her big blue eyes adorned with artificial lashes. Her presence struck me as strange, and I couldn’t fathom what she wanted.

“You are Alex’s wife, right?” she asked, looking at me with a mix of curiosity and suspicion.

“Yes,” I replied, a hint of uncertainty in my voice as I tried to understand her intentions.

The woman smirked, giving me a once-over, and I felt a pang of insecurity.

“You are so pretty. I don’t find any reason why Alex would ever think of cheating on you,” she said with a touch of pity in her tone.

Confusion clouded my expression, and I asked, “What do you mean?”

She shook her head and let out a lazy laugh, as though enjoying some secret amusement.

“I know you won’t believe me without proof. Let me show you something,” she said, taking out her phone.
