تسجيل الدخولThe day Lorenzo got kidnapped by a rival family, I found out I was three months pregnant. I took the million dollars his father offered, and I ran. The next time we met, I looked him in the eye and told him I'd been a mole for the rival family the whole time. He was chained up in a cellar, staring at me through the iron bars utterly despairing. He said he'd kill me himself, and then grind my bones to dust. Seven years later, when I saw him again, there was a beautiful woman on his arm. They were getting married. And I was so far down I had to beg him for a loan. He pulled out a thick stack of bills. Lit it on fire right in front of me. He said he'd rather burn it than give it to some whore feeding another man. He didn't know I was begging because my son was dying. His son too.
عرض المزيدThree months later, Lorenzo made good on his promise. He married me.The old Don was right. The elders never stopped fighting it.Lorenzo crushed them. Publicly. But the fight didn't go away. It just went underwater.To prop me up, he ran himself ragged — splitting them up, pinning them down, buying some, burying others.I'd watch him and feel tired for him.I asked him once. Was it worth it?He said of course it was. It was the only thing he could give me.He needed the world to know. Nothing was going to keep us apart.He was the same man. Loved me the same way. Would give everything up the same way. Would take on the whole world the same way.Until death came for one of us, he was going to fight for it.His eyes were set and tired, like a night sky behind a layer of smog.I looked at him and I remembered before. The little apartment. Nothing in it. Nothing to our names.And we had everything.Back then, we had the light.If you have light, you have a world. The size of the world is
The internet flipped.Sofia, having framed herself and then publicly admitted to lying, was finished.Now the whole internet was talking about Lorenzo. About the Don. About me who'd sacrificed everything for love.The incident grew increasingly popular and caught the attention of the family elders.The Morettis have one rule: run the underworld quietly. Stay out of the spotlight.The elders signed a joint demand. Lorenzo was to drop me. Immediately. Kill the story.Lorenzo sat behind his big mahogany desk. His eyes were wolfish."It'll die down. Why are you all panicking?""The family was going to move into legitimate business eventually. This is the opening.""And Liana..."He stood up. Looked around the room like a king inspecting his army."I'm not saying this twice. She's my wife. She's your Donna. We're done here."Lorenzo wasn't the soft kid in love anymore.He was the Don now. Tempered in blood and fire.In the end, his father came to me. Brought Sofia.Seven years since I'd see
That same day, Lorenzo broke off the engagement with Sofia.I quit the bar. I moved into Lorenzo's estate.In a long conference room, Lorenzo held my hand and announced who I was to every one of the elders.He said I was his wife. The Donna of the family. My word was his word.Sofia wasn't going to take it.She made up a story and posted it online.She said I'd dumped Lorenzo for a million dollars without a second thought. That now I'd found out he was rich and rolling in cash, so I'd scraped up some kid from somewhere and called him Lorenzo's son. That right after Lorenzo got engaged, I'd come back to wreck the marriage with no shame at all.She also dug up photos of me from the bar work and posted those too.The internet swallowed her version whole. The hate came down like rain.I didn't have to do anything. Lorenzo handled it.He drove me out, found Sofia in some alley, and we cornered her.He had a gun. He tapped the barrel lightly against her temple."Sofia. After all this time ar
The red light over the door went off and I was at the door before anyone moved.The doctor was tired. He told me Damian was stable for now. He couldn't say when, or if, he'd wake up. That was God's call.I stood outside his room like a piece of dead wood and looked at him through the glass.Tubes everywhere. He was so still on the bed. No color in his little face.Sofia was standing next to me. She couldn't hide the corners of her mouth.She sighed, half scolding, half pitying."Liana, if you'd told me sooner, I could have adopted Damian.""He has Lorenzo's blood. I wouldn't mind having him call me Mommy."She looked so light and carefree, as if Damian had fully recovered from his illness.Yet Damian was in a deep coma. And there was an unbridgeable chasm between me and Lorenzo.In this quiet little war of hers, she thought she'd won.She'd be his wife. She'd have his heart too.She didn't know me. She had no idea what kind of woman I was.I spent seven years hiding from Lorenzo becaus
