My Mafia Boyfriend’s Test

The abortion was scheduled a week later. Over the past few days, I worked nonstop as a cab driver to earn some money.

A man got into my cab. He reeked of alcohol.

I instinctively covered my nose.

Ever since I got pregnant, I had become really sensitive to strong smells.

The man glared at me.

“Are you implying that I stink? You’re just a cab driver. What’s so impressive about that? You dare look down on me?!”

I did not respond and only reminded him to fasten his seatbelt.

Halfway through, he suddenly got handsy. “Girl, you look good. Why are you driving a cab?

“Why not be with me? I’ll give you a life full of luxury.”

As I focused on driving, I avoided his touches. My expression darkened.

“Sir, please show some respect.”

“Respect? You’re just a cab driver! I’m already showing you plenty of respect by giving you some attention!”

He dragged me back to my seat in disdain.

“Do you really think you’re some rich lady? To think that you’re asking me not to touch you!”

I gritted my teeth and said nothing.

When he saw that I was no longer fighting back, he got even handsier. “Stop pretending to be all high-and-mighty. I’m going to sleep with you tonight, and you won’t be able to do anything about it.”

He put his rough hands on my waist, and I slammed on the brakes as I trembled. Then, I shoved him away and ran out of the car.

“What are you doing?! How dare you push me, you piece of trash?!”

His face twisted in anger as he grabbed an iced cola beside him to throw at me.

The cold liquid slid down my forehead, and goosebumps broke out all over my skin.

Right then, I looked up and saw that August’s company was right across from me.

The huge LED screen showed August celebrating Ivy’s birthday.

He slid a necklace worth eight figures around her neck and doted on her, as if she was the center of his life.

Ivy smiled like a princess as he gently wiped off the cake from the corner of her mouth.

I glared at the screen so hard that my eyes stung, and I almost started crying again.

The man sized me up in disdain. “Why are you staring at that? He’s a mafia boss! The woman beside him is his childhood friend. Stop dreaming about living that sort of life, you pleb!”

“Happy birthday, Ivy!”

On the screen, he wished Ivy a happy birthday.

Suddenly, my attention was pulled elsewhere.

I saw a familiar figure in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window.

Just as the person wanted to walk over, someone else dragged him away.

My heart leapt to my throat before I looked down and tried to convince myself that I was mistaken.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered what August had said when we first got together.

“I will always protect you, Casey.”

In hindsight, everything seemed like a joke.

Tears streamed down my face, and I ran away with a lowered head, feeling utterly pathetic.

When I got back, I was drenched. It was so cold that I shivered.

The moment I opened the door, I saw that August had decorated the place for a party.

He looked surprised when he saw me. “Casey, why are you back so early?”

“I…” Before I could say more, I sneezed.

“Are you sick?” He reached out to check my temperature.

I avoided him instinctively.

“I’m fine.” I looked down and asked coldly, “What are you doing?”

“It’s Ivy’s birthday today, and I’m throwing her a party.” His tone was gentle, and he looked very eager.

I pursed my lips and said nothing.

He did not seem to have noticed anything wrong and continued, “Casey, will you attend the party too?”

“I’m feeling sick and want to rest.”

Ivy walked out of a room right then. “Come on, Casey! It’ll only be fun if everyone joins in.”

August and her friends stood behind her. They sized me up in disdain.

I had never understood the way they looked at me before, but I finally did. They were all from rich families, while I was just an ordinary person. I was reaching far above my station by dating August.

That was why they always looked down on me.

“You’re joining the party while dressed like that?!”

“That’s right. Remember your standing.”

August gave me a look, then shot them a warning stare to shut them up.

The next moment, he stepped in to calm things down. “Casey, why don’t you make a cake for Ivy? You’re always so good with your hands. I already bought the ingredients.”

“August, I’m sick. I want to—”

He interrupted me. “Do it for me, please?”

His voice was gentle, but it was clear that he was not going to take no for an answer.

I did not agree to it.

When Ivy saw this, she pretended to smooth things over. “Forget it, August. Maybe Casey’s in a bad mood today. We shouldn’t make things difficult for her.

“I know that Casey has never considered me her friend…”

As she spoke, she started tearing up.

I lowered my head and wanted to return to my room.

Just then, I suddenly saw a few baby clothes in a corner. They were used as rags.

I sewed the baby clothes by hand for my first baby, who died because of August. Even those clothes were not spared.

I teared up. “What’s that?”

August looked over and asked in puzzlement, “Just some rags. What’s wrong?”

“Rags?!” I gritted my teeth, and my voice trembled. “How could you…? I made those clothes for the baby!”

August picked up the baby clothes in panic and glared at the others. “Who did this?!”

Ivy said pitifully, “August, Casey, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that those clothes were important.

“I just couldn’t find anything suitable to be used as rags, so I used those. I didn’t think it’d make you so angry.

“I’ll buy a few new ones to make it up to you. Please don’t be mad.”

August glared at her and tried to comfort me. “It’s okay. Don’t be sad. Ivy didn’t know. I’ll buy a few new ones later.

“Don’t worry. Our baby will have plenty of clothes to wear.”

Ivy shot me a smug grin, tore off the clothes, and shrugged, as if she was challenging me!

“You…” I glared at her and clenched my fists. I trembled in rage.

The clothes were the only memento I had left of my first baby. She died before she could even see the world.

For countless nights, I held the clothes close to remember her.

But Ivy had trampled all over my only solace!

When August saw me crying, he wiped my tears away to comfort me before telling Ivy to come over. “Calm down, dear. Ivy, come over here and apologize!”

Ivy teared up immediately. “I’m sorry, Casey. I was wrong. If you’re still upset, you can slap me a few times.”

James, Ivy’s friend, laughed. “Ivy already apologized. Here’s some money. It’s enough for you to buy some baby clothes. Why are you creating a scene for something so small? You’re so petty!”

He took out a wad of cash from his wallet and threw it at me.

“Is that enough? If it isn’t, I’ll give you more.”

I trembled. With rage-filled eyes, I smacked the cash away.

“Get out!” I glared at them and screamed, “Get the hell out of my house!”

August was displeased. “Casey, why are you yelling at our guests?

“Even if you were mistreated outside, you shouldn’t bring your anger back home!”

I was stunned, and I felt a chill run down my spine.

“How did you know I was mistreated?”

He had seen me get molested. The person I had seen at the window was August. He had not even tried to help me. Instead, he was blaming me for losing my temper after everything I had been through.

I was very disappointed and felt my world spin.

In the next second, I collapsed.

The last thing I saw was August’s anxious face before I lost consciousness.

“Casey!”
