He Chose His Brother's Widow, I Chose Another Don Chapter 10
I paused, then smiled. This time, I didn't say no.I've never been afraid to start over with someone new. But this time, I'll put myself first and keep a clear head.If Brennan is worth it, I'll gladly spend the rest of my life with him.If he isn't, I'll walk away just as decisively as I did before.After all, I now had everything I needed to give my daughter a happy childhood.What surprised me was Brennan's announcement at the birthday party: he was giving Lucia and me ten percent of his shares.Even if we had children together someday, Lucia would still be first in line to inherit his organization, if she wanted it.That was his promise to us. It made us feel secure.After Theodore left, he sent Lucia and me letters, photos, and gifts from all over the world.I didn't accept any of them or write back.I left the choice to Lucia. She shook her head without looking at the gifts, then went back to playing with all the quirky little toys Brennan had given her.To us, Theodore was a str

Before they could touch us, several black sedans pulled up. Brennan's bodyguards jumped out, took down Brynn's men, and seized Brynn.Brennan came to me. Once he was sure Lucia and I were safe, he quietly told his men to handle the rest.Theodore struggled to his feet. When he saw I was safe, he started toward me, but Brennan had already stepped in front of Lucia and me.Once again, Theodore had tried to protect us, but he was a step too late.When he came to see me afterward, he was frowning, his face full of guilt. "I'll deal with Brynn. I'll never let her hurt you or our daughter."I gave him a faint, distant smile."The way you spoiled Brynn and Amy hurt us deeply a long time ago."When you kept leaving us for them, we stopped needing your protection."My words left Theodore thunderstruck. His shoulders sagged, and he stood there frozen as tears he couldn't stop streamed down his face."It's my fault. It's all my fault..."It poured that day. Long after I'd left, Theodore was still

"Enough!" I looked at Theodore, his face twisted with jealousy. Seeing him again stirred nothing in me."Delia, can we talk? I've missed you so much. I've missed our daughter so much..."He reached for Lucia, but she hid in Brennan's arms. "Don Ricci, you can stay with Aunt Brynn and Amy forever. Mommy and I don't need you anymore..."In that moment, to my own surprise, I felt relieved.Like me, Lucia no longer depended on Theodore. That meant he could finally be out of our lives for good.I asked Brennan to look after Lucia, then took Theodore to my office.When I set the divorce papers in front of him, his face crumpled.He looked at me in anguish and shook his head. "No... Delia, I'm not divorcing you."I pointed to his signature on the papers.Theodore stared at it for a few seconds. Then, like a man possessed, he snatched up the papers and tore them to shreds.I watched him rage, silent and calm. Then, almost cruelly, I told him it didn't matter if he tore them up. I had another c

Delia's POV:After I returned to the East Coast, my father began grooming me to take over the Holst family business."You've got Lucia to raise. You need a career of your own. Only when you're strong enough can you truly take charge of your life."I started taking part in council business and earned the elders' respect on my own merits.At the family's year-end dinner, my father announced in front of everyone that starting next year, I would take full control of all his holdings.As the applause rose, I truly understood for the first time that leaving Theodore hadn't meant losing everything. I still had my career, my confidence, and a future that didn't depend on anyone.It was at that dinner that I met Brennan Gallo.He was an East Coast mafia Don with a vast criminal network and businesses across several states. Even the council elders, who usually looked down on everyone, stood to greet him.He was decisive and rarely smiled at strangers, but he never turned that hard edge on me.He

Because the abandoned building had been doused with some kind of chemical, the bodies were badly damaged.DNA testing would take time.Theodore refused to believe Delia was dead, and he did everything in his power to find her.He sat in front of the monitors, combing through footage from every camera on every street. His eyes burned, but he refused to rest.He contacted everyone Delia knew and practically begged them for news.But each answer dashed his hopes and drove him deeper into despair.Within days, Theodore looked like a different man. His eyes were sunken, and his face was haggard.Most nights, he couldn't sleep. He kept hearing Delia call for help and Lucia scream.They'd been so close. If he'd turned his head, he could have protected them.Instead, he'd been with another man's wife and daughter.Regret stabbed at him. He slapped himself hard across the face.At night, he held their family photo, consumed by remorse, and couldn't stop thinking about the good times.Delia used

Once Amy's birthday was over, Theodore got Brynn and Amy settled at a hotel. Only then did he remember how many times Delia had called.He called her back, but she didn't answer. Unease crept over him.He grabbed his jacket and headed for the door, but Brynn stepped in his way."It's so late. Can't you stay..." A little tipsy, she pressed herself against him.Theodore felt a sudden surge of irritation. He pushed her away. "I thought I made myself clear. This is the last time. I won't neglect Delia and my daughter for you two again."Brynn clung to his jacket and wouldn't let go. Theodore pulled free a little too hard, and she lost her balance and fell. He barely glanced at her before leaving the hotel.He called Delia all the way home. With every unanswered call, his dread grew."Delia!" He practically kicked the door open, but the house was dark, empty, and silent.Delia's words came rushing back. What if she hadn't been acting? What if all of it had been real...His legs nearly gave
