My Godfather is my Soulmate 80. A Costly Choice
Don Antonio's POVThe morning light filtering through the study windows felt cold and unwelcoming. I hadn't slept, not really. My mind had been replaying Alexa's troubled face, her whispered confession about her mother's plea. I knew this choice weighed heavily on her. I knew the conflict she felt.Xavier was there, as always, quiet and efficient, bringing me coffee. He probably sensed my mood. After a restless night, I had hoped she would come to me, ready to affirm her choice, ready to fight by my side.But she didn't.Instead, a call came through from Sarah. I answered, bracing myself."Don Antonio," Sarah's voice was tight, sounding a mix of worried and apologetic. "Alexa... she's here. She came to my place last night."My jaw clenched. Here. Not with me."And her decision?" I asked, my voice flat, already knowing the answer.A pause. "She... she needs time, Don Antonio. She's really struggling. She drank a lot last night. She just needed to escape."Escape. The word hit me like a
My Godfather is my Soulmate 79. A Difficult Dawn
Alexa's POVDon Antonio's words, "You have to choose," echoed in my head all night. Sleep was impossible. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw my mother's worried face next to Don Antonio's firm, sorrowful gaze. The choice felt impossible, like being asked to cut off a part of myself.I tossed and turned in the big, soft bed. One moment, I felt a burning desire for revenge, a fierce need to see my father lose everything he cherished, just as he had made me lose everything. The next, a cold dread would wash over me at the thought of hurting my mother, of stepping deeper into a world of violence that felt so wrong, so heavy.The villa was silent, but my mind was screaming. Justice or peace? Fight or run? Love for Don Antonio, who was offering me a way to reclaim my strength, or love for my mother, who just wanted me safe and far away from all this darkness?As the first hint of grey light appeared outside the window, I knew I couldn't make this decision alone. I needed to talk to someone
My Godfather is my Soulmate 78. Torn Apart
Alexa's POVThe last few days had been a whirlwind of meetings and planning. Don Antonio and Xavier were deep in their work, hitting my father's businesses hard. Every report Xavier gave, every news article we saw about Bavarish Industries having "technical difficulties" or "unexpected supply chain issues," filled me with a cold, sharp satisfaction. This was it. This was the revenge.But then, my mother's words from our meeting kept coming back to me, playing over and over in my head like a broken record. "That's your father's life's work. You can't destroy it." And then, the one that truly cut deep: "Your future. Don't throw it away on revenge."I sat in Don Antonio's study, surrounded by their charts and screens, but my mind was miles away. My leg still hurt, a constant reminder of everything, but now the pain in my head wasn't from the crash; it was from this terrible dilemma.On one side, there was the burning need for justice. My father had truly taken everything from me. My home
My Godfather is my Soulmate 77. A Grave Warning
Don Antonio's POVThe news of Claire's burial reached me quickly. It was a private ceremony, of course, a quiet affair meant to avoid too much attention. But in my world, there were no secrets that money and influence couldn't uncover. This was an opportunity I couldn't miss. A chance to look Donald in the eye.Despite Xavier's warnings about security, and Alexa's quiet plea to be careful, I went. My shoulder still ached, but the pain was a dull whisper compared to the cold fury that simmered in my gut. I made sure to arrive just as the few mourners were gathering around the open grave.Donald was there, standing a little apart from the small group, his head bowed. He looked… pale. Not broken, not sad, just a little less confident than usual. Good.I walked slowly, deliberately, letting my presence be known. The gravel crunched under my shoes. Heads started to turn. Whispers broke out. Donald's head snapped up, and his eyes found mine. For a moment, all the fake sadness dropped from h
My Godfather is my Soulmate 76. A New Kind of Fight
Alexa's POVI woke up the next morning feeling oddly clear-headed, despite everything. My leg still throbbed, but the deep, bone-weary exhaustion from the hospital and the crash had lessened. Lying there in Don Antonio's bed, listening to the sounds of his villa, a different kind of feeling started to settle in my chest: resentment.It was all my father's fault. He locked me up. He sent Claire to kill me. He tried to ruin Don Antonio. He took everything from me, my supposed freedom, my peace. He had left me with nothing but pain, all because I dared to love someone he didn't approve of.Don Antonio was still asleep beside me, his arm resting lightly over my waist. He looked so peaceful, even with the sling on his shoulder. My heart ached for him, for what he'd lost. But then the anger boiled up again. This wouldn't have happened if my father hadn't been so obsessed with control.I carefully slipped out of bed, wincing as I put weight on my injured leg. I hobbled over to the window and
My Godfather is my Soulmate 75. Home
Alexa's POVMaria somehow managed to get me a taxi later that night and slip the driver some money. I was shaking the whole way, clutching the crumpled paper with the address Don Antonio had given me months ago. It was the only place I could think to go.When we pulled up to the gate, my heart was pounding, not just from the fear of facing my godfather after a long time, but from something else entirely. What would I say? What would he say?Then, the security system announced my name. And a few seconds later, the gates swung open.I saw him first, running out of the villa like a madman. He was still wearing hospital clothes, his arm in a sling. He looked pale, and there were dark circles under his eyes, but his gaze… his gaze was fixed on me.He reached the taxi door in seconds, pulling it open. "Alexa!" he roared, his voice rough with emotion.And then I saw him fully. The man I loved, the man who had been shot, whose businesses were burning, all because of me.I froze. A hundred fee
