Bound to the Don for a Thousand Nights Chapter 11
Cecilia's POVLuciano took the diary with him and returned to the main bedroom, where I was still leaning against the headboard, staring out the window.The setting sun cast a blood-red glow over the wisteria, and a few more withered petals drifted to the ground.He placed the diary in front of me. His hoarse voice carried a trace of indignation and a small sliver of hope."You loved me for seven years. Why can't you just love me one more time?"My gaze fell on the diary, but it carried no emotion at all, as if I were just looking at something that didn't concern me.After a long silence, I raised my hand and pointed to the nearly withered wisteria outside the window."What's passed… is passed.""I don't believe that!"He yanked me up from the bed and kissed me fiercely. The kiss tasted of despair and salt as he crushed his lips against mine, plundering my breath.I didn't struggle. Only cold tears slipped steadily from the corners of my tightly shut eyes, disappearing into t

Cecilia's POVSeven months later, I returned home on the chartered flight carrying Enzo Genovese's remains.He had died in Kovana, where a stray bullet had pierced through his left chest.Dressed in black, I brushed my hand that was wearing the ring across the coffin as silent tears streamed down my face. I gently rested my forehead against the cold surface and whispered in a voice only the two of us could hear."Next lifetime, remember to come find me sooner."That moment was captured on camera and quickly made headlines. By that evening, the front pages of all major news websites featured the same photo—a woman in a black dress, forehead pressed against the coffin, tears falling silently.The headline read, "War Correspondent Escorts Coffin of Fallen Soldier".Luciano saw the news on his phone and knew that I had returned.As I left the cemetery, a black Maybach blocked my path. The car door opened, and Luciano was pushed out in a wheelchair.His eyes were bloodshot, his voi

Luciano's POVThe smell of disinfectant filled my nose. I forced my eyes open and met the doctor's grave expression."Mr. Damiani, your legs were severely crushed in the car accident. To save your life, we had no choice but to perform an amputation…"Amputation? My legs… were gone?I lay there on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. The phantom pain from my lower body—pain from something that no longer existed—was vivid, gnawing at me in waves.So this was how much it hurt.When Cecilia was whipped by Matteo, then forced to donate blood… Did it hurt like this, too? Or was it even worse? Because the pain I'd given her had been mixed with betrayal and heartbreak as well.Suddenly, I started struggling violently. I ripped the IV needle out of the back of my hand and, amid the nurse's startled cries, crashed heavily off the hospital bed.Propping myself up with my arms, I dragged my numb lower body and crawled, inch by inch, out of the room.No one dared to stop me.

Luciano's POVThe apartment door was shoved open.Several polizia stormed in and headed straight for Valentina, flashing badges and an arrest warrant."Valentina Fiore, you are under suspicion of conspiring with Matteo Barbieri in the intentional injury and unlawful detention of Cecilia Rossetti, as well as spreading false information online, fabricating facts, and malicious defamation."You are hereby placed under arrest."My eyes widened as I looked at Valentina. "You're the one who posted the photos online?"Cecilia had called me last time to say it wasn't her. But I had been convinced she had staged the whole thing herself, and I'd even used the Famiglia's influence to permanently silence her online.I then publicly declared Valentina as my only legitimate partner and branded the whole situation as "self-orchestrated" by Cecilia, nailing her to a pillar of shame.I even said to her afterward, "You've been criticized since you were a child. You're used to it. One more time w

Luciano's POV"Luciano! Where are you going? Come back!" Valentina screamed behind me hysterically, but she was quickly drowned out by the surge of reporters and rising chaos.I rushed out of the banquet hall, my first thought being to return to the penthouse.When I arrived and pushed the door open, a cold, empty silence greeted me. Every trace of Cecilia had vanished completely.I leaned against the cold wall and slid to the floor, suddenly remembering something from a long time ago. To help me sleep, she had once told me a bedtime story.In the story, a king had imprisoned a nightingale in a cage, making it sing every night until it died.Back then, she had said softly, "If I were that nightingale, I wouldn't just wait around until I died. I'd find a way to open the cage and fly away myself."I'd brushed it off then, telling her that she was my nightingale, and that she could forget about ever flying away in this lifetime.But my nightingale had flown away. She didn't want m

Luciano's POVSuddenly, my own voice blasted through the speakers, reaching every corner of the hall clearly."She's just a maid's bastard daughter. Keeping her as an Amante Clandestina on the side to play with is more than enough."A deathly silence fell across the room.The audio didn't stop there. It switched to a different recording with two female voices.Valentina spoke first. "So let's have a fair competition. The time limit is two days, and the bet is on who matters to him the most. The loser goes to the Republic of Azamir as a war correspondent."Then came a soft reply. "Bene."The audio ended, and images immediately followed. Photos of Cecilia and me being lovey-dovey as well as screenshots of chat logs—all dated long before Valentina and I got married.Finally, it switched to a recording from Cecilia, her voice cold and emotionless."Mr. Damiani, Ms. Fiore. I wish you both happiness."The silence continued for a few seconds more before the entire hall erupted."So
