로그인To become the Don of the Henry family, my husband, Jesse Henry, chose to divorce me and marry Lina, the daughter of the Mitchell family's Don. He promised that in a year, once he took the godfather's seat, he would remarry me. He said I was the only Donna he would ever acknowledge. But his promise never came true. Instead, I heard that his Donna was pregnant. Everyone thought that I, the woman so hopelessly in love, would forgive him and keep waiting. But in the end, I quietly left and vanished completely from his life. Five years later, I ran into him at a luxury boutique. The salesgirl was packing up the ties I'd picked out. The moment she saw him, her tone turned impossibly eager. "Don, you're here. The suits Donna picked for you are ready." Jesse gave a slight nod, his gaze lingering on the tie in my hand. "Put everything she bought on my tab." I politely declined and set a card on the counter. He smirked. "After all these years, you still can't forget me. You even remember my favorite tie color." "Once you're done throwing your little fit, come back. I'll remarry you. Lina's kid is older now—you can treat him like your own." I smiled and said nothing. He didn't know I was only there to pick out gifts for my husband's family members. Take care of his child? I have my own little treasure.
더 보기The Jesse in front of me now was a wreck, on his knees, sobbing.He said he was wrong. He said he'd given up the Don's seat. He begged me to leave with him, promised he'd treat me right from now on.I almost laughed out loud.I knew exactly why he was like this. It was because Landon had stripped him of the Don's seat.There wasn't a single ripple left in my heart. I gave him one flat glance, then turned away and headed for the gate.Jesse had tried to assassinate the Gambino family's Don. By all rights, he should be dead. But I let him live. Live without the Don's seat.Not out of love.But because he loved the power and status of the Don's seat so much. So I wanted him to taste what it felt like to lose the thing that mattered most to him.The boarding bridge was long. Landon's hand stayed wrapped tight around my waist the whole way.His brows were drawn, his eyes fixed on me without blinking, like he was afraid I'd vanish the moment he looked away.I turned my head and caught his ga
Jesse's POVJesse waited three days at the estate he and Isabella had once shared. He'd cut off all contact with the Henry family, just so the second Landon was dead, he could bring Isabella home.But all he got was a text from the hitman. The mission couldn't proceed. The deposit was refunded.Then nothing. The hitman went dark. His phone wouldn't even ring through.Before Jesse could think it through, his second-in-command called. His voice was pure panic."Don! Something's happened! The family's in revolt. They're saying you… you're not fit to be the Henry family's Don. They want you to step down immediately!"Jesse shot to his feet. "I'm on my way!"His second-in-command kept going. "They're also saying… you sent someone to assassinate the Gambino family's Don. The whole underworld knows!"Jesse froze mid-step. His face went white.Landon knew.And he'd made sure everyone knew.Ordering a hit on the Gambino family's Don. He was finished.He'd be on every mafia family's kill list."
Jesse's POVThe moment Jesse got back to the estate he used to share with Isabella, he smashed everything in sight.He couldn't believe it. Isabella, who had loved him so much, had fallen for another man. Had a child with him. And that man was someone he couldn't even begin to compete with.Landon Gambino.Don of the largest mafia family in North America. Controller of the biggest arms trade. A man even the FBI thought twice about touching.And Jesse? He was nothing but a rising rookie who'd just taken the Henry family's Don seat. His foundation was shaky. Enemies inside, threats outside. Even Lina's family could boss him around.How the hell was he supposed to compete with Landon?Jesse slammed his fist into the wall. His knuckles split open, blood seeping through.He didn't seem to feel it. His eyes stayed locked on the photo of him and Isabella on the wall.In it, Isabella was holding onto him tight, smiling so sweetly, looking up at him with nothing but love in her eyes.They had b
"Answer me!" Jesse suddenly shouted. "Do you love him?"He reached out to pull me from Landon's arms, but Landon shoved him back.Landon's eyes were ice. His voice was a warning."My Donna. You dare touch her?"Jesse looked at me, his brows furrowed so tight it looked painful, but he was helpless.This was Henry territory, sure. But if he dared touch anyone from the Gambino family, his seat as Don was as good as gone.I saw his expression and knew exactly what he was thinking.I pulled away from Landon's arms and didn't look back at Jesse. I just smiled up at Landon. "I love Landon. For this life, I will always love Landon."Then I hooked my arms around his neck and kissed him.Landon turned us so his back was to Jesse, hiding me completely behind his frame, and deepened the kiss.It was a long while before he finally let me go. He let out a soft laugh. "I love you too, Isabella. Always."I saw Jesse's whole body trembling with rage.Landon gently stroked my hair, then pulled out his p
