A few minutes pass, then two…
I take a deep breath and grab hold of the pregnancy test with shaking hands.
I just wish it was over already.
Swallowing hard, I open my eyes and look at the result – positive!
What the actual fuck?
My heart stops as I try to comprehend the result.
No way I’m pregnant. I can hardly believe it.
But there it is – written in bright blue lines, plain as day – I am expecting a baby.
And it's belongs to the "Son of Satan," as that FBI Agent said.
I just don't know what to do.
I have grown to learn that Anthony is nothing like his father.
Chances are, he would be supportive and helpful.
But, he won't be able to keep this from himself.
Sooner or later, if Anthony and I stay together and the baby arrives, the baby would become a target in the eyes of rival mafia families.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath, trying to silence my racing thoughts.
All I know is that there's already a target on Anthony's back and because to the world, we're to be married, there's a target on my back, simply for being his almost wife.
Which means that the target on my baby would be the highest of all.
I can't tell Anthony.
Not now. Not until I know we'll be completely safe.
For now, it's my role to protect my unborn child.

With a heavy heart, I go back down.
Martha looks at me from the corner of her eye, a question in her gaze – Did I take the test?
I nod slowly and she takes my hands in hers.
“Well?” she asks eagerly.
I can't contain a weak chuckle.
For some reason, I want to share the news with someone and Martha is the only one I can share it with.
She doesn't even know Anthony and my real names and she's harmless.
Perhaps she can help me in this journey too, “It's positive, Martha. I'm pregnant!”
Martha gasps with excitement. “Oh my goodness! Are you sure? Are you really pregnant?”
