The Shark Mafia Boss novel Chapter 109

Olivia POV

I wake up opening my eyes wide looking for my baby girl. I can’t find her and my heart starts beating really fast.

I get up and once my feet touch the floor my mom walks in holding her in her arms and I can feel tears burning my eyes.

“Why are you crying?” - mom asks looking at me with worry

“I couldn’t find her” - I say holding Mel against me after mom passed her.

“She is getting hungry” - mom says and I sit back on the bed and I give her my nipple.

Her tiny suction makes me feel weird and I look at her in adoration. I’ve always wanted to be a mother and to breastfeed and be the best person I could for my children.

After Mel finished eating I burped her and changed her diaper. She automatically fell asleep and I couldn’t stop looking at her. She is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. I hope she gets her father features.

Thinking about Raphael brings an unsettling feeling to my stomach.

I put baby Mel on her crib next to my bed and I get a hold of my phone

I and Raphael need to have a serious conversation about him cheating on me. About the other baby and the lies. I can’t live like this.

I’ve made my decision. If Raphael doesn’t tell me the truth I am dumping his ass. I can’t live like this. I got used to the mafia life and I have to say that I can’t imagine living any different now but I can’t stand the lies.

“We need to talk” - I message Raphael.

I know it is a dick move to text and not call but I don’t want to wake up baby Mel.

“I’ll be there in one hour” - he replies not long after and I take a deep breath.

I get up and leave baby Mel with my mom while I have a shower. I can’t remember the last time I had one and after birth, I definitely need one.

The shower wasn’t as impressive as the one we had at home but this was better than nothing.

This hospital isn’t as posh as the one in New York either. But I was okay with that.

When the hot water hits my body I feel relaxed instantly. The water falling from my head makes me think of all the good time I spent in a shower with Raphael. I smile at the memories.

After I finish I get dressed on another sleeping T-shirt and a pair of leggings.

My mother brought my maternity bag and mel’s. We are not allowed out of the hospital yet.

Mel was born earlier than expected but she is out of risk. But they still want to keep us both here for check-ups.

I take a seat on the bed again and I grab my phone to see if there are any messages from Raphael.

There are only messages from Anna and John that I reply straight away sending them pictures of baby Mel.

“I’m gonna go home for a little while” - mom says

“Sure mom, you need to rest” - I reply

“I’ll be back later” - she says kissing the top of my head.

Raphael’s mom asks if she can take little Mel for a walk and I nod my head seeing her grab the little one that is now awake.

It melts my heart how much everyone loves her.

Both the grandmothers leave the bedroom and I sit back watching some reality tv show in Italian.

Not long after I hear someone knocking at the door.

“Come in” - I say and my heart skips a beat when I see him.

Raphael standing tall showered and looking fabulous as always. I still feel the butterflies every time he gets close to me. I don’t think I will ever be able to not feel them.

Raphael walks to me and gives me a soft little kiss on the lips and then sits on the chair next to my bed.

“Hello love” - he says and I smile at him

We are both sitting looking at each other when I break the silence

“We have to talk Raphael” - I say and I can feel his beautiful blue eyes glued on me.

Raphael nods his head and I would love to know what is going through his mind right now.

“Who is Alex?” - I ask him and Raphael looks confused.

“You know who she is” - he says

“Raphael, who was she to you?” - I ask him again

Raphael takes a deeper breath and sits straight on his chair with both his hands passing through his hair. Something he does when he is uncomfortable.

“I met her God knows how many years ago, we became friends when I took over the business from my grandfather” - he says and I nod my head for him to continue

“Her father was friends with him, she was trained to be the second in command for me but she wasn’t strong enough and she asked out”

“Yeah?” - I say taking in everything he is saying. Raphael never talks about this

“We became close and we have a little adventure every time I came to Italy. It was innocent, on her side but it never was on mine”

“Okay” - I let out taking in

“She always wanted more but I didn’t, I didn’t want a relationship with anyone, you know how I was”

“A manwhore? Yeah I know” - I say with a small smile on my lips

“Yeah that, but I still had sex with her, she was an easy fuck, it was easier than going out to find someone” - he says looking at his hands

“I never led her on and she can tell you that. But apparently, I wasn’t careful enough and she got pregnant, as it’s been years since I came back she never told me” - he says now looking me in the eyes

“She told you at the party?” - I ask him and Raphael nods his fallen head.

“She said she needs the money but I can’t leave him here with her, if he is really mine I’m taking them both to New York”

The realisation hit me in the face. She is coming too. Another woman with a crush on my man.
