Leo’s POV,

I spent the morning supervising a shipment at one of our docks the kind of operation the press would never dare write about. We were moving millions in cash and guns disguised as “farm machinery” in heavy containers. New faces had been showing up lately, too many outsiders sniffing around our business. If I didn’t personally put my eyes on things, something would slip. And in our world, one slip was enough to lose everything, your empire, your family, your life.

By the time I left the docks, my phone buzzed with alerts about new security measures being installed at Villa Mancini. I wasn’t playing games. The head on the platter had been a message, and whoever sent it needed to be erased.

But even as I drove back to the villa, my thoughts drifted to her, Nora. The girl who still smelled like innocence but was walking straight into a pit of vipers. She had handled training yesterday better than I expected, but she had also cut herself. Her palm had bled all over the dagger she

  • 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

    Nora’s POV,I woke to the soft, familiar click of Luca’s shoes on the marble and the low vibration of his voice in the corridor. For a second I lay there, eyes closed, pretending not to hear. My body wanted to pretend like last night had been a bad dream like a terrible, overlong play that I’d finally walked out of. But with the few days ice spent here, I realised that this villa never let you walk out of things. It stored them and handed them back to you in stranger ways.“Mrs Luna,” Luca said, and there was a quiet in his tone that made my heart knot. He didn’t say more. He never wasted words.I swung my legs out of bed and sat up. My head still throbbed a little from the night, and exhaustion had a weight to it that coffee couldn’t lift. I didn’t answer immediately. The house was an organism that moved in commands; if I spoke without listening first I might say something permanent. So I waited for him to speak.“Boss wants you downstairs in twenty. Training starts after,” he said f
