I Was His Donna Until She Showed Up Pregnant

Lena’s POVI didn’t remember when I fell asleep. When I woke, my phone had already died.I was about to sit up when I heard footsteps coming down the hall.“Lena?” Caleb’s voice called softly. “You’re still up?”He stepped into the room and turned on the lamp. Warm light spilled across the bed, and his eyes immediately filled with concern as he looked at me.“You’ve just gotten pregnant,” he said gently. “Didn’t the doctor say you shouldn’t stay up late?”“I just woke up,” I replied quickly, turning my head slightly and avoiding the kiss he leaned down to give me.Caleb’s smile faltered for a moment. Then his brows drew together. “You’ve been crying?”He leaned closer again.That was when I caught the faint scent of perfume clinging to him.I recognized it instantly. It was a perfume Caleb used to buy for me. Until today, when I discovered Ruby owned the exact same one.I had never liked the smell, so I rarely wore it.Which meant the scent on Caleb right now could only belong to Ruby.

Lena’s POV“Lena, what’s wrong? I’ve called you three times and didn’t hear back.” My sister Avery’s voice sounded behind me just as I stepped into the mansion.So much had happened over the past few days that I must not have paid attention to my phone.But Avery lived in another city, yet she had flown all the way here just because I missed three of her calls.I turned. Seeing her standing there, worry written all over her face, made something twist painfully in my chest.I wanted to tell her everything. After our mother passed away, Avery was the one who raised me.But how could I tell her? That her little sister had become nothing more than a pawn in some twisted love game? That the husband she had reluctantly accepted was nothing but a cheating man?Before I married Caleb, Avery had been strongly against it. She said Caleb and I came from two completely different worlds. Even people who were alike struggled to stay together—let alone the two of us.And now it felt like she had been

Lena’s POVOne moment, Ruby’s voice echoed in my head. “Stop lying to yourself, Lena. He never loved you. And you were never worthy of being his Donna.”The next moment, everything shifted. I heard Avery crying somewhere close to me. Doctors were shouting for more blood bags.I could feel it all. But I was too tired to move.Slowly, the voices dimmed, fading into the background as a soft light emerged before me.In that light… I saw a younger version of me. I had just married Caleb back then. One night, one of his men rushed in, breathless, saying Caleb had been caught in a gang fight.I hadn’t even thought. I just went with them.When I arrived, gunshots rang out, voices shouted over one another, and blood was everywhere.Caleb was already on the ground, unconscious, two or three bullets lodged in his body.I rushed to his side without hesitation, throwing myself over him, shielding him with my own body.I didn’t even flinch when a bullet tore into my flesh.It was the first time I h

Lena’s POV“Lena, I…” Caleb ran a hand through his hair, his voice unsteady.“You should leave now.” Caleb slowly rose from the ground, looking every bit like a man on the edge of madness. He leaned in, his hand gripping my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze.“Lena,” he said, his voice low, dangerous. “Don’t push me. You know what I’m like when I don’t get what I want.”He rarely showed this side of himself in front of me. But now that I knew who he really was, it didn’t surprise me at all.“So now you’ve not only betrayed our marriage, but you want to force me to stay. For what? To preserve your image as a Don with a perfect family?” I gave a faint, cold smile. “So that whole performance just now—the kneeling, the apology—wasn’t because you realized you’d hurt me. It was because you were afraid of losing control over me. I finally found out what you’ve been doing behind my back, and now I want out—but that’s not what you want for us, is it?”“I said, you don’t want to push me, babe.”

Lena’s POVA year passed before I even realized it.I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She was an absolute angel—rarely cried, always smiling, always giggling. Somehow, she made everything feel lighter, warmer… better.I named her Anna. It meant strength.Avery and I opened a small bakery beneath our apartment. It made life easier—working and taking care of Anna at the same time.The business wasn’t big, but it was enough to support our little family.And for the first time in a long while, I was doing something I truly loved. Baking and watching people take a bite and smile.It was simple. But it was everything.I rarely heard anything from New York anymore.Only bits and pieces.Caleb had stepped down from his position as Don. His cousins had already been looking for a way to remove him from the Don’s seat.With everything I had given them, it was practically a piece of cake to threw Caleb off the seat.Later, Caleb even served time in prison for what he did to Ruby at the weddi
