Mafia's Substitute Wife

Marry her mommy

After getting ready, Armando rushed out of the house ignoring all his men and bodyguards trying to escort him. He was already late for the school function, so he preferred driving himself there.
“Just handle the matter okay… I can't come right now for god's sake” Armando said in frustration over the phone as he drove his car at full speed. Not minding about the many traffic rules he was breaking. He was already worked up, and now the person he left in charge of his company was busy whining about having him around.
“It's just a darn interview Rafael…handle it, if not postpone it…” it was difficult to control his friend but in his absence as the CEO, his best friend Rafael was the president, but now Rafael refused to interview anyone without him.
"Fuck off” Armando cursed and removed the Bluetooth from his ear and threw it away in anger and increased the speed of the car. He tried to reply to a text message from his wife (“Baby, I'm on my way…wait for me”)he replied to Erica who texted back and Armando frowned. Just as he looked up, a low gasp escaped his throat as he tried to stop the car. There was a kid in the middle of the road and a lady just rushed there just as he stopped the car before it could hit him.
“Damn it” Armando cursed as he ran his hand in his hair, he always knew people looked for a way to get killed, but he hated anyone who wanted to die by his hands. As much as he liked putting bullets in traitor's heads, he hated careless women who didn't take care of their children,
“What the hell woman!” Armando growled out in anger as soon as he got out of the car and walked to the lady.
“Are you okay sweetie…is everything alright?” Erin inspected Kiara without being aware of another furious person's presence. However, Kiara had seen the angry man in a black business suit looking all handsome, although he had a blank expression.
“Mommy…look” Kiara patted Erin on the hand and pointed towards the man who looked as if he would murder someone in cold blood.
“Can't you be a little more careful, or were you trying to commit suicide and blame it on me?” Armando said in anger, this time Erin was back to her senses as she helped her daughter wear her shoe. She rose to her feet only to turn around and see a tall man standing before her. Erin was angry, all she wanted was to put him in his place, but she calmed her nerves and breathed deeply.
“Please sir…don't yell, mommy doesn't like noise” Kiara stepped forward and said sweetly and Armando looked down and saw the little girl standing before him as if she were a grown-up above all, she was rude.
“Oh really…but she likes jumping in front of cars, right?” Armando asked coldly, but Kiara didn't say a thing but stared at him without blinking. She smiled cutely, making it impossible for Armando to be mad at her. She looked at the little girl, who looked the same age as his daughter.
“You are very handsome, sir… I love your eyes…they are beautiful…you should marry my mom she's beautiful too” Kiara said with giggles and Erin felt her knees weaken, her eyes widened in surprise and embarrassment that if she didn't have the veil covering her face. She would have been embarrassed
“Kiara no” Erin muttered and pulled her daughter away from the handsome man who didn't even smile but had a blank expression, his voice was deep with a hint of roughness and his black hair was in a neat cut which complimented the way he was dressed. At first, sight Erin knew he was a man with power, a man from another world where only elegant beautiful women had access to. His dark brown eyes were almond-shaped, they were a fire with passion and a bit distant with refined cheekbones and a concrete jaw. It was a sin to admire someone, but Erin couldn't help. Seeing the Greek god who was dishy with broad shoulders and hard-toned muscles which showed even in his suit. An earthly scent swirled around him, making Erin feel a shiver down her spine. It was rare to see such a man with a powerful forbidden aura that invited trouble.
"You are a cutie but…your mom is incompetent…have some chocolate”Armando lowered to the little girl, took out a bar of chocolate from his coat and handed it to Kiara, but she shook her head and frowned.
“What are you doing mister…you can't just insult my mom like that, okay” Kiara spoke with so much confidence and Armando standing before her narrowed his eyes in shock.
“You can't even…teach this little girl manners…how ugly and incompetent are you… I'm sure that's the reason you have that cloth covering your face” Armando said coldly, just his voice was rather husky and commanding, Erin didn't even know what to say to put him in his place. Her voice had gone hoarse, and her face was looking ugly that was why she had to cover it, so she could attend her daughter's school function. The man in front of her was arrogant and, judging by his car and the escort he had, he didn't seem like an ordinary man. His voice was rather intimidating and scary, however her loud mouth troublesome daughter didn't see that.
“Excuse me… My mom is the most beautiful woman, okay… Mom take off so this arrogant man see how beautiful you are” her daughter said cheerfully and turned to Erin and tiptoed, so she could pull the cloth covering her face, but Erin shook her head for Kiara to stop, she had red spots on her face due to the cream her troublesome friend had deceived her with.
“What rubbish” Armando mumbled and gracefully walked away from Erin and Kiara, he hated wasting time on random people, and hence he walked away accompanied by several men in black suits who joined him a little later.
“Mom, are you okay?” Kiara turned to Erin and Erin nodded.
“Come baby let's go” Erin said faintly and took Kiara's hand and both walked back to get her purse putting aside the rude man who insulted her.

Armando made his way inside to where the function was accompanied by seven men in suits, it was odd how everyone stared at him as if he were some piece of meat, that was why he hated going to public places.
“Oh hey bro…glad you made it”Armando stopped when a black-haired lady walked toward him coming from the direction he was going, and he had no choice but to talk to his little sister.
“And what brings you here…let me guess…you came to trap male teachers” Armando remarked sarcastically and Alicia who was dressed in a hot police uniform gestured for the seven men to walk away.
“Hahaha…how funny bro, but I prefer hot criminals, not frustrated teachers” Alicia said in pure mockery, but Armando didn't react or show any expression whatsoever, his sister was something else that was why he had to keep his eyes on her.
“Then what are you doing here, Alicia?”
“The question is why haven't you gone to the office… Rafael is freaking out…what were you thinking…leaving him to attend to people?” Her elder brother was supposed to go to the office because they had some job interviews to do. Armando left Rafael to handle the situation, and everyone knew Rafael was someone who hated spending more than five minutes with people.

“He'll get used to it”Armando leaned towards Alicia, whispered and walked away leaving her with a frown face, she was worried about her brother's company, but he was calm about it.

“What the heck” Alicia said without care and walked to her post since she and her team were responsible for keeping the school function free from trouble.
