Being the Mafia's Surrogate

Chapter Four

Alexandro’s POV

I tried to keep an open mind when I saw her but I couldn't, I tried to conceal my thoughts by keeping a straight face. I saw her and then I didn't want to anymore. She was nothing like the other girls. She hadn't done anything to make herself curvy or beautiful, she was just naturally pretty and best of all she wasn't trying to impress me.

Well anyway I had to tell Pedro to run some tests on her which is something I should have had Stella do before I signed the deal. Anyway if she isn't fit, she'd become a s*x slave or work at my bar. I wouldn't want to ruin her too much.

I didn't wait to see her reaction to my statement but I'm sure she must be surprised. I wonder if Stella filled her in on why she's here and if she hadn't she'd find out eventually. I went to my study where I had a meeting with some "respectable men" like me. I had to discuss our next shipment.

We argued as to some faults in the last shipment and also on this new shipment. We'd always disguise our goods in order for us not to get caught. And I made sure to have good connections with those in political power in order to avoid facing the law.

Emilia's POV

Pedro led me to the car and then drove out. This day couldn't get any worse. What were the tests for? Why did they need to do tests? I looked at Pedro who was so focused on the road and tried asking some questions.

"Pedro?" He looked at me through one of the mirrors. "Uhm, where are we going?"

"Hospital," He replied.

"Okay but why do you need to do a couple of tests on me?"

"Because the boss wants it".

"Do you know why he needs it?"

"I don't ask questions, I just follow orders. Now please, I'd like to focus".

I sighed. I knew I couldn't get anything from him. His lips were sealed and he'd only say necessary details or not speak at all or maybe his boss didn't give him permission to speak.

We arrived at the hospital and went straight to a room.

"Wait here," He said while walking away.

He left me in a cozy hospital room. I think it's a private room, reserved for just them. That would mean the boss has connections with this hospital. Pedro returned with a doctor who smiled and tried to get me comfortable.

"Please hurry up," Pedro said.

What was up with him? Well, the doctor proceeded with the test, most of them were like ultrasound. Did they need my womb or something? Or did they need to close it, so I wouldn't get pregnant when they use me for p**********n? God I was scared. I wanted to run and leave the hospital and everyone but Pedro would obviously catch me before I got to the front gate.

I relaxed into the bed and let out another sigh. I wanted this nightmare to be over. I wanted to start again. I wanted to go back to when my dad had not died, I would have stayed home that day and apologized to Anna but I can't change time. I just kept getting frustrated.

We waited a while for the results before heading back to the house. The boss was there again, sitting in the living room going through some things on his phone and laptop.

"Good day boss. The results," Pedro handed him the paper that contained the results and after going through it a tiny smirk appeared on the boss face. Why was he happy?

"You're fit," The boss said.

Fit? Fit for what? Could they speak clearly or at least tell me what the f*****g hell is going on.

"Good day. I'd be in my room," I turned to leave.

"You don't leave my presence until I tell you to or until I leave. I'm Alexandro Martini but call me Mr. Martini. Dinner is ready. To the dining room, now".

Ouch. Wow, some new orders to obey. He gave this cold aura, no emotions, nothing. It was very hard to tell what he was thinking or feeling and I felt he was irritated by my presence.

We got to the dining and the food was more than before, I'm guessing because we were two. I sat on the other end of the dining room and he sat on the other end. Dinner was quiet. My phone beeped, breaking the silence. It was a message from Anna, I had forgotten to send a message or call her concerning my current situation. I picked up the phone to check the message but Alexandro didn't like it.

"No phones at the table," He said very quickly and sharply.

"Yes sir," I said as I muted the phone and kept it. That explains why dinner was quiet. He wouldn't touch his phone despite the amount of notifications that came in and he didn't try to talk to me. I watched as he ate, so quietly. His utensils wouldn't even scratch the plate and his chewing was so quiet. I tried to keep up his pace but he ate so fast.

Finally he finished his meal, cleaned his mouth and got up to leave.

I finished my meal and went upstairs to call Anna. I apologized to her for not reaching out to her on time and explained to her what happened. She was surprised at first but then sad not knowing what I was here for. We talked for a while before Pedro knocked again. I opened the door, letting him in with some maids who followed him with clothes and dropped it on the bed.

"The maids would help you get cleaned up and get you dressed".

"First, please I can bathe myself. Second, where are we going now?"

"Okay but hurry up. We are going to see the boss' grandma," He left.

His grandma? Why?
