Claimed By The Don Chapter 28
I searched everywhere for Alessandro. I called his phone again and again—nothing. Straight to dead silence.But that couldn’t be right.I was sure I had left him here. Right here on this street.I turned slowly, my eyes scanning every corner, every storefront, every passing face. The streetlights glowed against the cold New York pavement, cars rushing past like nothing had happened. For a moment, doubt crept into my mind.Was I hallucinating?Wasn’t this the exact street we had just walked down together, talking and laughing? If I didn’t know New York like the back of my hand, I would have sworn I’d taken the wrong turn.My chest tightened.No…No.This is not happening.“Alessandro!” I screamed, my voice cracking as it echoed down the street.People turned to stare, some slowing down, others pretending not to notice. I rushed toward a group of pedestrians.“Did you see someone? A tall man—dark hair—Italian accent. He was just here!”They shook their heads.I ran to a nearby shop, nea

**DANTE**Dinner ended quietly, but the moment we stepped outside, Midtown Manhattan greeted us with its usual nighttime chaos.The city was alive.The air was cool, carrying the mixed scents of street food, exhaust, and rain from earlier that evening. Alessandro walked beside me, quiet for once, the streetlights catching the sharp edges of his face. For a moment, the chaos of the city wrapped around us like a shield, hiding us in plain sight.Still, I could feel the tension lingering between us.Because in a city this big, under lights this bright, danger could still be waiting just around the corner.We wandered into a bookstore a few blocks from the restaurant.Alessandro disappeared into the aisles like a man entering a cathedral. Meanwhile, I stood there reading the back covers of books I would never buy in my life.Forty minutes later—yes, I counted—Alessandro finally returned.He had two novels and a thick art book tucked under his arm. The cashier bagged them neatly, and Ales

By midafternoon, the room looked like a battlefield of silver trays and empty plates. Alessandro stood. “I need air.”Dante’s gaze stayed on the window. “That’s a bad idea.”“It’s a street, not a war zone. Outside. The street. Like civilians.""We're not civilians."“For three days, we’re the Romanos. Civilians.”Alessandro was already pulling on his jacket. “Midtown. Nobody knows our faces. We can walk outside, and no one will try to kill us.”Dante watched him button his shirt. “That’s when people die.” “We’re ghosts here, Dante. Nobody’s even looking.”“You’re assuming no one’s looking.” Dante looked at him. ‘’Optimism gets people killed. It’s not safe. “You’re such a downer. I thought you liked a little excitement.” Alessandro said almost pleading.“People like us don’t get days off.’’ Dante added. “I’m bored out of my mind,” Alessandro sighed, dragging a hand through his hair as he leaned against the table. “No one said a honeymoon had to be this boring. We should spice thi

Inside, I saw things that made my blood run cold. The place looked like a torture chamber.There were chains hanging from the ceiling, a heavy interrogation chair bolted to the floor, and a long wooden whipping bench stained dark from years of use. On one table, I saw pliers, knives, batons, whip, branding iron, and metal hooks neatly arranged like tools in a workshop.Against the wall stood an old stretching rack, used to pull a person’s limbs apart. Beside it was a cage, barely large enough for someone to sit inside. There were also electric pods, thick leather straps, and buckets that I didn’t even want to imagine the purpose of.The entire place smelled of rust, blood and fear.I also noticed a massive metal basin, big enough to fit a human body inside. Nearby was a large fireplace setup, connected to a gas cylinder with a thick pipe running into it.Father turned to me.“Light the fire.”I didn’t dare ask what the fire was for.My hands were shaking as I walked toward it. I bent

They slept until noon. Dante woke first, which was a habit, but instead of reaching for his phone he lay still for a full minute, listening to Alessandro breathe. He let himself have the minute.Then he checked his phone.Three messages from Tommy, “all clear, all clear, Nico's at his penthouse, stop checking your phone”, and one from Marco that just said “enjoy it while it lasts”, which was the closest Marco came to a honeymoon blessing. And he felt weird after reading it.Alessandro stirred. "What time is it?""Noon."A long pause. "We slept until noon.""Yes.""I haven't slept until noon since I was nineteen." Alessandro rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling with the expression of a man recalibrating. "I think your chest did something to me. Like a sedative.""I'll add it to my list of skills.""You should." He stretched, slow and unhurried, and then looked sideways at Dante. "Are we doing this correctly? The honeymoon? I've never had one.""Neither have I.""So we're bo

The hotel was Alessandro's pick. Nothing tied to the Santoro estate or Dante's place. Just a neutral suite in Midtown, booked under a fake name."Mr. and Mrs. Romano," the desk clerk said with a nod."Romano?" Dante raised an eyebrow in the elevator."First thing that popped in my head." Alessandro stared at the rising numbers. "Didn't want to debate last names right there at check-in.""Moretti. That's what we talked about.""We talked about you calling me Moretti, yes, but for safety reasons. Romano's still fair game." The doors dinged open. Alessandro stepped out first. "One night. Let the Romanos have their fun."Dante trailed him down the hall. "You're gonna be a pain in my ass forever, huh?""Most likely." Alessandro swiped the keycard, pushed the door wide. "Part of the deal when you said I do."The suite was sharp with clean edges, a sitting area, huge windows showing the city sprawl below. Alessandro shrugged off his jacket, tossed it on a chair, and headed to the glass, yank

**DANTE** Six weeks until the wedding. Alessandro was in the shower when I woke up, and the apartment felt wrong without him in bed next to me. That realization should have terrified me more than it did. He came out with wet hair, wearing only a towel. Water dripped down his chest and I forgot how

**ALESSANDRO**Waking up in Dante's bed instead of on the floor felt like a trap. He was already awake, staring at the ceiling."We shouldn't have done that," he said."Which part? The kissing or the part where you actually let me sleep next to you?""All of it." He sat up, running hands through hi

The sound of my phone ringing dragged me out of sleep. I reached for it blindly, still half-dazed, and saw Marco’s name flashing on the screen. I answered quietly, my voice thick with sleep. As he spoke, my eyes drifted to Alessandro. He was still asleep beside me, looking almost angelic in the so

** ALESSANDRO **Two weeks before the wedding and Dante and I chose to stay by ourselves. "What do normal couples do on days off?" I asked, watching Dante make coffee."No idea. I've never been normal." He handed me a cup. "What did you do before all this?""Read. Painted. Went to museums sometime
