Leo’s POV

Castello Nero.

Even after all these years, the place still carried the scent of history and sin. It sat at the edge of the Amalfi cliffs, carved into the mountain like an old god watching over the sea. Every stone seemed to breathe with memories of blood spilled and vows made. The kind of place that didn’t just witness power, it demanded it.

I arrived just before midnight with Luca and Damien. The drive had been long and silent, the kind of silence that says everything. As our convoy approached the wrought iron gates, the guards straightened instantly. The gates opened with a heavy groan, and the night air hit my face like ice. I had been here a hundred times before, but tonight felt different. Heavier.

Don Alberto didn’t summon the clans unless something had gone wrong. And when the godfather called, you came. No excuses.

  • His Donna   Chapter 12

    Nora's POVSunday came brighter than it had in weeks.I don’t know if it was the sun spilling through my window or the sound of birds perched outside the balcony that woke me, but I felt lighter than I had in a long time. Maybe it was because tomorrow was finally the day. My first day at law school. The thought alone was enough to make me smile like an idiot.For the first time since I stepped into this mansion, I actually had something that felt… normal. Something that felt like me.I spent most of the day pacing around my room, arranging my clothes, checking and rechecking my bag like a teenager preparing for her first day at college. Maybe it was silly, but after everything that had happened here, I needed this fresh start.By six in the evening, I was ready to go downstairs for dinner. I stood before the mirror, adjusting my dress and fixing my hair. I wanted to look decent tonight. I had something to ask Leo, and I needed him in a good mood.He had already agreed to let me attend

  • His Donna   Chapter 11

    Leo’s POVThe Glass Chamber was my sanctuary, the one place in the entire mansion where silence obeyed me. The soft hum of the chandelier above cast pale gold reflections against the dark marble table, the smell of oak and old whiskey mixing with the faint burn of cigar smoke that never seemed to fade, no matter how many times the maids aired the room. I poured myself a drink, the amber liquid swirling lazily in the glass like it had all the time in the world, unlike me.The memory of Nora’s trembling voice still echoed in my head, her arguing, her eyes flashing with something that wasn’t fear but defiance. She’d pushed, and I’d snapped. I shouldn’t have. I knew that. But I couldn’t stand anyone, especially her poking around in things she didn’t understand.I leaned back in the chair, the leather creaking softly beneath me, and took a long sip. The whiskey burned all the way down, just the way I liked it.The door opened without a knock. Only one person had that kind of boldness in m

    Nora’s POVA week later.The Mancini garden had quickly become my second favorite place in the entire villa. The first? My room… yes, my room. Not ours.Moving out of Leo’s room had been… chaotic. The kind of chaos that ended with slammed doors, raised voices, and Luna standing between us like a referee in a match no one signed up for. But I did it. I moved out.And for the first time in weeks, I could breathe.The garden had a quiet kind of beauty. Ivy curled lazily along the old stone walls, roses climbed over iron arches, and the air smelled faintly of lemon and earth. It felt alive, untouched by the violence and politics that filled the rest of this house.I’d discovered it three days ago while wandering aimlessly, and now it felt like the only place that truly belonged to me.Today, I wasn’t alone. Luna walked beside me, and Leo’s mother, fragile but smiling was between us. It was her first day outside after being bedridden with fever since the night we met. The sunlight touched

  • His Donna   Chapter 9

    Leo’s POVI watched her storm out of the dining room shoulders stiff, eyes flashing, words still echoing in my head.For a long second, I didn’t move. My fingers were still wrapped around my coffee cup, the porcelain warm against my skin, but my blood had gone cold.No one, no one—ever spoke to me like that. Not my men, not my enemies, not even my sister.But Nora just had. And worse, I’d let her.It wasn’t just anger prickling under my skin. It was something else confusion, disbelief. No one had ever challenged me that way and gotten away with it.I kept my eyes fixed on the cup, staring into the dark swirl as if I could find answers there.A soft voice cut through the silence. “You really need to take it easy on her, Leo.”I lifted my gaze to the staircase. Luna stood there, arms folded, her expression unreadable but her tone edged with quiet reproach. From the look in her eyes, I knew she’d been standing there long enough to witness everything.“She’s not used to this world,” Luna

  • His Donna   CHAPTER 8

    Nora’s POVThe first thing that woke me wasn’t sunlight or the house stirring, it was the sound of slow, even breath beside me. For a second I just listened, letting the rhythm fill the quiet; it felt obscene to have any peace at all after last night.When I turned, he was there. He’d curled on his side, chest rising and falling, hair tossed, that face I’d only ever known sharp and unreadable softened by sleep. For a ridiculous, dangerous second I forgot how much we’d been thrown into; I reached out with a hand I didn’t trust to touch his jaw as if the gesture could prove he wasn’t a stranger.His eyes opened so suddenly I flinched back, fingers retracting as if they’d burned me. The blue of his eyes sharpened into a blade.“You know,” he said, voice low and calm. “If it were someone else who’d tried touching my face, I would have cut their hands off.”I swallowed. The words were brutal and oddly intimate. My stomach curled.He watched me watch him for a beat, then the corner of his m
