Chapter 20: "Unplanned Love"

Story TimeWords: 4517

A Night of Mistakes

Y/N never believed in love.

As the ruthless leader of the most feared mafia family, she had learned early on that emotions were a weakness. Trust no one. Love no one. That was the rule she lived by.

But one reckless night changed everything.

It started in a bar—whiskey burning her throat, frustration buzzing in her veins. She had just survived an assassination attempt, and she needed an escape from the blood and betrayal of her world.

That’s when she saw him.

H/N.

A doctor. A man so out of place in her violent life. He was sipping his drink, lost in his own thoughts. There was something about him—his quiet confidence, the way he didn’t look at her like she was dangerous.

Maybe it was the alcohol. Maybe it was loneliness.

But that night, she let herself feel.

They ended up tangled in sheets, bodies desperate, whispers urgent. It wasn’t love. It was just need.

Or so she thought.

The Consequence

Y/N never contacted him again.

Weeks passed, and she buried herself in work. Deals. Killings. Power. She convinced herself that night meant nothing.

Until the nausea started.

Until the doctor confirmed it.

She was pregnant.

For the first time in her life, fear gripped her. Not for herself, but for the tiny life growing inside her. A child—her child. In her world, family was a weakness. Enemies would kill to get to her through her baby.

She had to handle this alone.

But fate had other plans.

Because H/N—the father—walked right back into her life.

You’re What?!

H/N stared at her, his white coat stiff against his shoulders. The hospital smelled like antiseptic, but all he could focus on was her.

And the bombshell she had just dropped.

"You’re pregnant?" His voice was calm, but his hands curled into fists.

She nodded, arms crossed. "Yes. But I don’t need you involved."

Silence. Then—he laughed.

Not what she expected.

"You think I’m going to let you raise my child alone?" he asked, stepping closer. "Not a chance."

She scowled. "This is my business."

His eyes darkened. "It’s our business now."

She wasn’t used to people standing up to her. She wasn’t used to someone caring.

And that terrified her.

Forced Together

H/N refused to leave.

He moved into her mansion, setting up a medical room just in case. He cooked for her. Argued with her. Protected her.

At first, she hated it.

She was the mafia queen—she didn’t need a doctor telling her what to do. But then… he started getting under her skin.

The way he rubbed her back when she was in pain. The way he talked to her belly, whispering things he thought she didn’t hear. The way he didn’t fear her like everyone else.

And then one night, she broke.

"You should leave," she whispered, standing in the moonlit hallway. "Before it’s too late."

He stepped closer. "Too late for what?"

"For you to matter to me," she admitted.

His lips curled. "Too late, sweetheart."

And then he kissed her.

Soft. Slow. Unlike their first night. This wasn’t lust.

It was something dangerous.

It was love.

War & Sacrifice

Not everyone was happy about their relationship.

Her enemies saw H/N as a weakness, a way to hurt her. And one night, they attacked.

Y/N woke up to gunfire.

Her heart stopped when she saw H/N fighting back—for her.

She killed every man who dared to touch him. But by the time the dust settled, he was hurt.

Lying in her arms, bleeding.

"I told you to stay away," she choked, pressing against his wound.

He smirked, eyes heavy with pain. "Not happening."

That was the moment she knew.

She loved him.

The Baby Arrives

Months later, the mansion was filled with screams.

Y/N never feared anything. But childbirth? This was new.

She gripped H/N’s hand, sweat dripping from her forehead.

"You did this to me!" she growled.

He chuckled, brushing a kiss to her knuckles. "You’re doing amazing, baby."

Hours later, the cries of their newborn filled the air.

A little girl.

Y/N stared at her tiny face, overwhelmed.

And when H/N wrapped an arm around her, pressing a kiss to her temple, she finally admitted—

This was love.

Real. Permanent. Hers.

Happily Ever After?

Two years later, Y/N stood in the garden, their daughter in her arms.

She was still a mafia queen. Still ruthless. But now, she had something she never thought possible—a family.

H/N walked over, wrapping an arm around her.

"Marry me," he murmured.

She smirked. "I don’t do love."

He kissed her slowly, their daughter giggling between them.

"You do now."

And as she kissed him back, she knew—

She always would.
