My Mafia Ex-Husband

Chapter 17 - Cassandra

I ran my programs and updated my system. I double checked my files. My b***h of a sister hired a hitman to kill me. Santino unknowingly led the sniped directly to me. I looked at Gerardo and gave him my laptop so he could see the message himself.

Dahlia – 1 point

Cassandra – to fire back.

I contacted Sarah, she was able to get me the files that I asked for. Next, I am going to pay the little doctor a visit. Not alone though. I am taking back-up. I am tired of being threatened. I placed a call to Sylvia.

“Cousin, how are you and your little peanut doing?”

“Girl, let me tell you. I have not stopped eating since Damion brought me home. He is currently sitting in front of me, right now.”

“Put your phone on speaker, please.”

“Ah, senora Fusco. How may I be of assistance?”

“Damion, you know I would only call if I needed help.”

“Of course, no need to explain. Just tell me what you need, and I will make it happen.”

I explained to both of them the situation with Dahlia, Santino’s father and my father. I’m still not too sure on the either father’s involvement but I am not taking any chances.

Damion did not want me to directly go to the doctor’s office myself. I explained that I got some information, and I needed to act on it. He explained that he could arrange an audit, which would facilitate the release of documents only for viewing inspection only. He would have one of his contacts in this area go in with a micro camera and take pictures of everything I needed. This person would wear an earpiece to listen to what I needed without actually being there.

Santino would be much happier with this course of action. He is not letting me leave the premises without several guards. This would be too inconspicuous. Not to mention, I have been feeling a little nauseous for a couple of days now. It has been roughly three weeks since Santino found me and…oh my.

Shit! We have had s*x almost every day. I absently minded taking any birth control. s**t, s**t, s**t. Not that I don’t want more children, I just needed to complete my job right now.

I scrambled to the bathroom to try and locate a pregnancy test. Of course, there are none. I messaged Sarah what I needed. She arrived within thirty minutes as a surprise luncheon. She brought one of my favorite salads, a Greek salad with quinoa, chickpeas, English cucumber, red onion, fresh herbs, tangy eta cheese, pistachios with a simple lemon vinaigrette.

There was plenty for everyone here, so we sat in the dining room and Sarah slipped me what I asked her to bring, and I excused myself quickly and ran to my room. I was excited and nervous at the same time. What would Santino think? My boys are being potty-trained now. I am never leaving the diaper world.

Not that any of this bothers me. Santino would be ecstatic…right? I always wanted my own large family. I locked myself in the bathroom and did what I needed to do and now just waited.

Two pink lines. I wonder if I will have twins again. Maybe girls. Maybe a boy and girl. Maybe boys again. I smiled. I am not sure I want to keep this from Santino. But I needed to take care of my sister-issue, now.

I washed my hands and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I stood there just wondering what to do, then I heard his voice, “My amore, are you okay?”

I walked out slowly. My resolve was vanishing instantly when I seen the worried look on Santino’s face. My chin wobbled and a single tear ran down my cheek.

“My love, talk to me. What can I do?”

I shook my head and gasped as Santino wrapped his arms around me. I had never felt safer in his arms like I did right then. I wrapped my arms around his waist and held on. He waited patiently as he slowly rubbed his hands up and down my back.

He tilted his head back, “Tesoro, what is it?”

“I am pregnant. I so afraid what will happen now that we may be an unmarried couple. I am not sure of what you want. I was afraid to tell you.” I waited on bated breath, like it might be meaning of me leaving the house with my boys.

What if he takes the boys from me. It has been known to happen. Especially in the life that we lead. Mafia leads keep their heirs protected even if it means taking them away from their mothers.

My head is spinning. My heart is pounding in my throat.

Santino laughed and cupped my face and kissed me hard. He kept kissing my face, my lips, my neck. My lady bits were getting wet again. Damn, him.

He laughed out loud, “You have made me so happy. So, so happy, my love. What would make think otherwise?”

“I don’t know. I don’t know. I just thought…you did not want anything else from this relationship.”

“Oh, you are so very, very wrong. I want everything from you. I want everything WITH you. I want forever with you. I want as many children as possible that you want to give. You, my love. You. Only you. I want to live my life with you at my side. My Dona, My Wife. My Love. Do you understand?” He cups my chin and kisses me again. He wrapped his arms around me and picked me up and carried me to the bed.

We laid on the bed for a while, then I sat up, “Okay, daddy, what is next.”

“I am going to make my wife dinner, and we will sit with our family and just spend time together. I need for you to make an appointment to see your doctor and make sure you are healthy.”

“What about Dahlia?”

“To hell with her. We will handle her soon. Right now, I want you and my boys together. Okay?” He lifted my chin with his index finger and kissed my lips.

“Okay.”

“Are you okay now?”

“Yes, I just panicked, I guess. I wasn’t thinking. I had a file on Dahlia and Damion suggested sending in one of his people. For some reason, he does not want me to go in and handle this myself.”

“I like the man more and more. Of course, you are not handling this. We will work with Damion and his people and do what he suggests. He has more experience in these kinds of situations, correct?”

“Yes, he has had numerous situations, like this.”

“Okay, let’s go downstairs. I tried calling you and you did not answer your phone, so I came home to check on you. Your friend downstairs looked worried, and I rushed up here to check on you. I love you, Tesoro. My baby-mama, let’s go.” Santino kissed me again and wrapped an arm around my waist and led me out of the room.

Me and my silly nerves. I have no idea what the hell I was thinking. I took a deep breath, “Okay, so now I am going to give you a house full of children?”

“Only if you want. Just think of the fun that we will have making them.” He chuckled and kissed my temple.
