The Mafia Boss Was Going to Tear the Restaurant Apart — Until the Waitress Held His Crying Baby

Claudia’s face violently drained of all color as she stared at the blonde waitress in the black vest.

Vincent had been told his late wife had used an anonymous, highly exclusive surrogacy agency because of her medical conditions. But that was a massive, billion-dollar lie.

Claudia had been the late wife’s "best friend." When the wife died, Claudia had secretly intercepted the surrogacy paperwork. She knew Vincent would eventually look for the surrogate to ensure no future blackmail. So, Claudia had hired a hitman to execute Emma the moment she left the private clinic, intending to permanently sever the only biological link to the child, paving her own way to become the undisputed mafia queen.

But the hitman had failed. Emma had escaped.

And now, the surviving surrogate was kneeling right in front of the mafia boss, holding the billionaire heir.

"She is a threat, Vincent!" Claudia shrieked frantically, her pristine facade completely shattering. "Look at her! She’s trying to kidnap him! Security, grab her!"

The massive bodyguards stepped forward, looking at Vincent for the order.

Emma panicked. She knew if they took Michael now, she would never, ever see him again.

"I'm not trying to kidnap him!" Emma cried out, holding the baby tight, looking desperately up at Vincent. "I just wanted to hold him! Please!"

Vincent looked down at the terrified waitress. He looked at the way his son clung to her, a biological, undeniable bond that entirely defied logic. He looked back at his sweating, panicking fiancée.

The apex predator’s tactical mind instantly pieced the puzzle together.
