MY BABY DADDY IS A MAFIA BOSS

TWENTY -THREE

AURORA —--

"So dad can you at least tell me more about Enzo, I searched for him online but there is nothing much about him and something I don't understand is how he owns most of Galiano corporation but Miguel is the CEO and also the fact that his net worth is over a billionaire or more and no one knows what exactly produce all those money." I asked my dad who chuckled.

"Why do you think I am giving you to him so easily and making sure he doesn't change his mind?" Daddy asked, making me more confused.

"Daddy please explain to me." I pleaded with my dad who moves closer to me.

"He owns Galiano corporation." Dad said, making me almost jerk up from my seat.

"But Mr Miguel owns it, it's under his name." I asked.

"Miguel is his best friend so Miguel works for him as the CEO." Wow, this is just so unbelievable. Everything dad was saying was still coming to me as a shock.

"You are trying to say I am getting engaged to a billionaire." I asked, feeling so happy for my future and at the same time surprised that Enzo is this rich but pretends not to have half the wealth he claims to have.

"But dad, all this still doesn't explain his specific job." I said to my dad who smiled.

"Only few people know where Enzo money comes from, some say he inherited all his wealth from his parents but his parents were already dead when he started running errands that gave him the wealth he has now."

"What errands?" I was still curious.

"Promise you won't tell anyone, it should stay in your mind alone."

"I promise dad."

" He is a huge mafia boss, a tycoon at that." This is the biggest news I have ever heard.

I couldn't believe what my dad had just told me. Enzo, my soon-to-be fiance, was a mafia boss and a billionaire. It was like something out of a movie. I had always been attracted to his mysterious aura, but I never imagined it went this deep.

As the realization sank in, a surge of excitement coursed through me. I was about to marry into wealth and power beyond my wildest dreams. But at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Being involved with a mafia boss came with its own set of risks and dangers.

Unable to contain my curiosity, I decided to pay Enzo a visit at his workplace. I wanted to see for myself the empire he had built and the man he truly was. Ignoring the concerns in the back of my mind, I made my way to Galiano Corporation.

As I entered the grand building, I was greeted by the hustle and bustle of a busy workplace. Employees hurried past me with purpose, and the atmosphere was electric with productivity. I was determined to find Enzo, the real owner of the company.

As I made my way through the building, I caught glimpses of the amazed and confused expressions on the faces of the employees. It was clear that they were not used to visitors demanding to see the elusive Enzo.

Eventually, I reached the office of the CEO, Miguel. He stepped out of his office, a surprised look on his face as he recognized me.

"Aurora, what are you doing here?" Miguel asked, clearly taken aback by my unexpected appearance.

"I need to speak to the real owner of this company. I want to see Enzo," I replied firmly, determined to get the answers I was seeking.

"You're looking at him." Miguel said, making me chuckle as I stared around and everyone was eavesdropping, I am very sure most of them don't know who their real boss is.

"You aren't the owner, you are also an employee here in my fiancee's company." I said with boldness.

Miguel sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Aurora, Enzo is not the type of person who can just be summoned. He's a busy man, and I'm here to handle the day-to-day operations."

I crossed my arms and looked him directly in the eye. "I understand that, Miguel. But I need to speak to Enzo. It's important."

Miguel stared at me for a moment, a mixture of concern and apprehension in his eyes. Finally, he relented.

"Alright, Aurora. I'll see what I can do. But I can't promise anything," Miguel said, his tone resigned.

I nodded, grateful that he was willing to entertain my request. As I waited, the questions continued to swirl in my mind. What was Enzo really like? How did he manage to run a mafia empire and a successful corporation at the same time? And most importantly, how would this new revelation affect our relationship?

Before I had time to ponder these thoughts any further, Miguel returned, a serious expression on his face.

"Aurora, Enzo has agreed to meet with you. Follow me," he said, leading me through the maze of hallways and offices.

As we approached a door at the end of the corridor, I felt a sense of anticipation and nerves. I was about to come face to face with the man who held such power and mystery. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what lay ahead.

Miguel opened the door, revealing a lavishly decorated office. Enzo was seated behind a massive desk, his gaze focused and intense. He looked up as we entered, his eyes locking with mine.

"Aurora," he said, his voice low and husky. "I wasn't expecting to see you here."

I mustered up all the courage within me, determined to confront him. "I needed to see you, Enzo. I needed to know the truth."

He raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. "The truth about what?"

I took a step closer, searching for answers in his gaze. "The truth about who you really are, what you really do. My father told me everything."

Enzo's expression hardened, his gaze turning cold. "And what exactly did he tell you?"

"He told me that you're a billionaire, the owner of Galiano Corporation. But he also told me that you're a mafia boss," I said, my voice trembling slightly.

A flicker of something unreadable passed through Enzo's eyes before he leaned back in his chair, a small smile playing on his lips. "So, you've discovered my secret."

I took a deep breath, my heart pounding in my chest. "Yes, I have. And now I need to know, can I trust you? Can I trust us?"

Enzo studied me for a moment, his gaze intense. "Aurora, being involved with me comes with risks. But I promise you, I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe. Our love may be unconventional,"

I felt a surge of emotions welling up inside me - excitement, fear, and above all, love. Despite the risks, I knew deep down that I couldn't walk away from Enzo. He was a part of my life now, and I was willing to stand by his side.

Taking a step forward, I reached out and held his hand. "I choose you, Enzo. I choose us."

A small smile formed on Enzo's lips as he stood up.

"You already know I can't say no to your daddy and I don't want his company to crumble." Enzo said to me like he was still rejecting me but at the same time trying to accept me.

"Sir , Sofia is here just like you requested." His secretary said, making him smile while arranging his suit.

"Let her in." He instructed, Sofia could be his girlfriend or something. I am most definitely not ready to compete with anyone for Enzo most especially now that I know what Enzo has in him.

"Daddy." A little girl yelled rushing in, it was the same girl from the last time I came here. She looked identical to Enzo, everything about the both of them.

"My little angel!!" She exclaimed, picking her up as they both kissed each other on the cheek and Enzo just pretended like I was not just standing there and discussing with them.

"Is she your daughter?" I asked making him smile as the little girl smiled.

"Yes, he is my daddy." The Sofia girl said.

A surge of anger coursed through me as I stared at Enzo and the little girl, Sofia. How could he keep something like this from me? How could he have a child and not tell me?

"You have a child?" I said, my voice filled with a mix of hurt and anger. "How could you keep this from me, Enzo?"

Enzo's expression softened, his eyes pleading for understanding. "Aurora, please, let me explain."

But I didn't want to hear it. I didn't want to hear his excuses. All I could think about was how he had hidden such an important aspect of his life from me. It made me question everything about our relationship.

"I can't believe you, Enzo," I said, my voice trembling with emotion. "You lied to me. I thought we were starting fresh, building a future together. But it seems like you've been hiding so much from me."

Sofia looked up at me with wide, innocent eyes, sensing the tension in the room. She had no idea of the storm that was brewing between her father and me.

Enzo reached out to touch my arm, his voice filled with desperation. "Aurora, I never meant to hurt you. Sofia is my daughter, and I didn't want to overwhelm you with such a revelation right at the beginning of our relationship."

I pulled away from his touch, my heart breaking with every word he spoke. "You should have given me a chance to decide for myself if I could handle being a part of Sofia's life. Instead, you kept it from me and let me find out like this."

Tears welled up in my eyes as I turned towards Sofia. It wasn't her fault, she was just an innocent child caught in the middle of this mess.

"And you," I choked out, my voice shaking with anger. "I don't know who you are, but you shouldn't have kept me in the dark about your existence."

Sofia looked down, tears streaming down her face. It was clear that my outburst had hurt her, and it only fueled my anger further.

"I can't be with someone who hides such important things from me," I said, my voice filled with resolve. "I deserve better than that."

With those words, I turned and stormed out of the office, leaving Enzo and Sofia behind. I couldn't bear to be in that place any longer, surrounded by lies and secrets.

As I walked through the hallways, my anger turned into sadness. I had allowed myself to open up to Enzo, to trust him, and he had betrayed that trust. It hurt more than I could put into words.

" He had a daughter and no one even knows about it." I murmured to myself about leaving when I saw Miguel walking up to me.

"I hope you are satisfied now, after letting the employees know my true position." Miguel said to me as I adjusted the make up on my face.

" I only wanted everyone to know who exactly their boss is." I said to him as he smirked.

" Enzo can never marry you, that's a fact that you refuse to accept." Miguel said to me.

"What do you mean by that?" I questioned.

"Enzo is in love with the mother of his child." Miguel said.

"That can't be possible." I whispered to myself.

"You have to believe me, that's the truth." Miguel added like he could read through my mind.

"Why are you just telling me all this?" I asked, making him smirk.

"Because you are getting yourself into a huge mess you won't like." Miguel whispered to me and turned around to leave.

"Who is she?"
