Claimed By The Don Chapter 26
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

The reception was held in Sofia’s private dining room above the casino—hidden from the noise below, but close enough that the faint hum of music and distant laughter drifted through the floor like a reminder that life was still moving outside their little bubble.It was small. Intentional. No spectacle. No press. No unnecessary faces pretending to care.The room glowed in soft gold light from low chandeliers and dozens of candles lining the windowsills. Round tables were dressed in cream linen and simple centerpieces—white roses, eucalyptus, and crystal glassware that caught the light every time someone lifted a toast. Nothing overdone. Just elegant enough to feel special without feeling staged.The long head table sat near the windows overlooking the city. The skyline shimmered behind them, lights scattered like spilled diamonds. It felt private up there—like the world was below them, and for once, not trying to reach in.Dinner moved smoothly. Courses arrived like clockwork—fresh br

The morning of the wedding arrived with the kind of quiet that made Dante suspicious.No calls. No threats. No Nico appearing out of nowhere with a gun and a grudge. Just pale winter sunlight coming through the bedroom curtains and Alessandro's elbow in his ribs."Stop checking your phone," Alessandro mumbled into the pillow."I'm not.""You've checked it four times in ten minutes. I can feel you tensing up each time."Dante set the phone face-down on the nightstand. "Today's the day Nico would strike.""Today's the day we get married." Alessandro rolled over, hair a disaster, eyes still half-closed. "Can we please keep those two things separate for at least the next six hours?""Six hours is the ceremony. What about the reception?""Dante.""Fine. Six hours."Alessandro stared at him. "You lasted four seconds.""That might be a personal record."That got a laugh out of him, rough and warm, and Dante felt something unknot in his chest. He'd been cataloguing those laughs lately, storin

**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

**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 **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
