The mafia kings surrogate

Prologue

Ares,

We all sat around the meeting table beside my private office. The surrounding men kept stealing glances, but I kept silent.

I might have an idea about what they want, but I want them to speak up first.

We had been beating around the bushes for five months now. They must be at the end of their limits for sure.

“This is unacceptable. You are supposedly the head of this family. You carry the bloodline even though it is tainted but still, you must do your duty.”

My uncle Aetos said in an explosive, disgusted voice. And I raised a brow at him.

The man’s face was neutral, but what he said seemed like an insult, not advice.

But this anger was new to me. I used to think that he is the sound of reason in this family.

“That is why I have come prepared. I have someone suitable for him. The girl was raised to obey his commands and do whatever he wants from her. Her family is rich too and they have connections. This will add to his position and power.”

My other uncle Cenon said, and I frowned my brows in confusion. He already brought someone, too!

Hmm, this must be serious. Cenon serves only himself. That girl must be an alley to my dear uncle.

I rubbed my temples in annoyance. The whole family was gathered today to discuss my celibacy situation.

They kept saying that I’m old as if forty is my last chance to be a father or something. I’m not a woman, for god’s sake.

Cole sauntered to where we were sitting and leaned against the wall. A dirty smile graced his face.

“If you don’t want to do it, I will gladly carry on and provide the elders with what they want.”

I sneered silently as I watched them nod in approval, as if what he just said made perfect sense.

My younger brother had always wanted this position, and it is in his favor that I don’t have an heir.

He will take the throne after me, but he had always hated me, the bastard son, for taking what he thought rightfully his.

“Enough, Cole. Ares is the eldest son, and your father chose him to be his successor. There is no need for this shit now.”

My uncle, who was saying that my blood is tainted, chastised my younger brother. Interesting.

And I couldn’t help the loud chuckle that escaped me. They have lost their minds, all of them, it seems.

“This isn’t a laughing matter, Ares. This family is your responsibility and you need to work on that. If you have any problems, tell us now so we can work on it.”

Cenon said in a clipped tone while looking at my crotch. He was implying that I’m not a man or my thing wasn’t working.

Actually, I shouldn’t blame them. I have never brought a woman here or taken a girlfriend.

That thought was bound to be brought up in this lovely meeting.

“It is ok if he is gay, Cenon. He can have a surrogate or something and have a boyfriend at the same time. Our problem here is the heir, nothing else.”

My sleazy uncle stood with a big shit-eating grin on his face and opened the door.
