Secret Surrogate to the Mafia King
This was a fun, dirty little romp through the mafia tulip field.
The High: Drew Ater (Marcello Lavigne) and Autumn Noel (Vanessa Peters) are perfect at playing up the absolute camp of this Vertical Drama. They deliver their lines with nary a crack in their face betraying how ridiculous what they just said was. Some of my favorite lines, “You think I’m stupid because I kill people? That’s a stereotype,” “You are dating the world’s smartest murderer you know,” and “Are you serious? You don’t have mafia shit to do?” These lines absolutely slay!
All spoilers and no filter ahead!
Dumb Vanessa sells her eggs to pay for her cheating boyfriends tuition. While waiting for the procedure to begin, Don Marcello Lavingne comes in the room to begin collecting his own sample for the surrogate he’s searching for. The two have a little cute flirt and Vanessa is later accidently impregnated instead of having her eggs harvested. Vanessa runs back to her NFL bound boyfriend, Marcus, with her handful of cash only to find him skanking around with the head cheerleader behind her back. She runs back to the clinic hoping any of her eggs are spared for her to have her own child after discovering Marcus is a total prick, only to find out she has all her eggs and she’s actually pregnant.
Marcello finds out about the pregnancy and despite his dangerous occupation, Vanessa refuses to sell her custody to Marcelo and fights with him to keep her baby. After Vanessa is roughed up in the parking lot they make a deal to be together for the sake of the baby. She is constantly standing up to and showing him she isn’t afraid of challenging him which he is totally into.
Anita, the head of Marcello’s housekeeping is a spy in his household for his cheating ex Lydia. Anita challenges Vanessa about being in the mafia herself and is constantly trying to figure out if she and Marcello are together. Vanessa refuses to be a prisoner in Marcello’s house and wants to go back to school. When she goes in to pay for her tuition, her cheating ex and his girlfriend are there to bully and assault Vanessa. Luckily, Marcello arrives in the nick of time to save her, ending Marcus’ football career before it even began and getting his cheerleader girlfriend suspended from the cheer squad. Vanessa returns to class to be bullied by her classmates upset she was tangled up in the school losing their star quarterback and head cheerleader. Luckily Marcello is able to intervene again and save her.
Vanessa interrupts a “mafia meeting” and despite Anita’s warnings that she’ll be punished from her behavior, Marcello takes her to Mexico for dinner because she told him she wanted to eat burritos. They have a mini vacation together and enjoy each other’s company and bond. She opens up to him and shares about how no one ever does nice things for her while he teases her about killing the chef is she doesn’t like her food.
After the weekend Vanessa is behind in her studies and Marcello offers to tutor her. His tutoring style doesn’t help her learn anything but all of the flirting, touching and spanking leads to them finally screwing each others brains out on his desk (HELLO!). This scene is witnessed by Anita and finally convinces her Vanessa isn’t going anywhere so she snitches to Marcello’s ex about Vanessa. Lydia sends her goons after Vanessa to try to get her spot back.
After being let into the house by Anita, the thugs find Vanessa alone in the house and threaten her. As always, Marcello shows up to save her and kills her attackers. Vanessa can now stand by and watching him killing without flinching at his side.
At the masked coronation, Lydia manages to sneak in and drug Vanessa. Vanessa thinks her labor has started and Lydia convinces Marcello to finish his ceremony to become the Mafia King and meet them at the hospital later. Lydia takes her to a doctor to take the baby and prepare a lethal injection to kill her. But Lydia, like all good villains, spends too long monologuing which allows Marcello to arrive in time to save his newborn son and true love Vanessa..
