Page 105 of The Mob: Shio Cuppacio
My eyes scanned over to Shio, who had resumed counting the money, his eyes fixated on the task. Forgetting all about my anger generated toward my father that quickly, I replied.
Nothing much. Just relaxing.
Maybe Mocha
Girl it’s just chilling. Not relaxing. Lol.
My cheeks burned.I was fluent in English, but the American slang, lingo, and jokes was still foreign to me.
Maybe Scarlett Rinaldi
Hey girlie. Mocha leave her alone. I think her English is adorable.
Gracias
Maybe Missy DaBaddest Bitch

Discover
Ughhh, y’all have fun. I got these two occupying my time. I’m down for another seven weeks, but then it’s uppppp
She’d attacheda picture of two adorable infant boys who looked identical in every way. They both wore baby blue jumpers that covered their hands, with little green pacifiers in their mouths. Their covered hands were balled up at the side of their faces. It was so cute that it was almost sickening. My ovaries screamed at the photo. I still couldn’t believe she’d gone into labor that night, shortly after I’d left. Her sons were so handsome. I couldn’t imagine seeing two adorable bundles every day and having to decide who to pick up and love on first.
I noticed that the ladies had only spoken to me and not to each other, which meant they had communication was most likely already happening before they included me. I also noticed that the only person who hadn’t replied in the chat was Glow. She hadn’t replied the night I was sent the pictures as well. I’d hoped she wasn’t upset with me because of Shio. I was uncertain about the connection still and hadn’t worked up the nerve to ask Shio myself. Shio hadn’t brought Glow home, nor was he wearing a ring, so maybe I was overreacting, and maybe she had married another man. If they were married, the act of practically creaming on his lap just a few moments ago would bring me nothing but shame. To save my conscience, I was going to assume they had not eloped. There’s no way a woman wouldallow her husband to house another woman without being present.
My only hope was that Glow and I could at least be cordial when in the same quarters. I would be nothing but a memory as soon as my father snatched me out of here. I didn’t have the time or the energy to hold a feud. I’d be doing enough fighting when I was married. I just hoped it wasn’t physical because I knew being married into the Rodríguez family would bring many days of mental battles.
¡Hijos guapo! You have handsome sons Discover
The womenall oohed and ahhed over Discover’s identical twins, and Missy gave the location of the studio. Excited to have an excuse to leave the house, I locked my screen.
Shio was still counting money, but was now returning the gaze I had upon him. It was almost sinful how handsome this man was. With his clean-cut and neatly trimmed beard, lounge clothes that could be worn outside the house and still cause women to double-take after, broad shoulders, full lips, and a perfectly structured face—Shio walked around as if he wasn’t God’s gift to women, but he was.
