The Don Prayed for Me but Slept with My Best Friend Chapter 8
As my due date approached, my belly grew so big I couldn't see my own feet.One day, I headed to work at the flower shop as usual.But just before I reached the shop, my water broke.Some passersby got me to the hospital, where the doctors performed a C-section.My son, Noah, was born safe and sound. But I hemorrhaged during delivery because of the old injury to my uterus.The doctors fought to save me for 48 hours. In the end, I pulled through.After two weeks in the hospital, Noah and I finally went home.Once I'd recovered a little, I took Noah with me to the flower shop.As I got close, I saw Daniel standing outside my shop.He looked much more worn down than he had almost a year earlier. His suits used to be perfectly pressed, but the one he wore now was rumpled.I looked at him, and it didn't hurt the way I'd imagined it would.Even the man who'd once meant everything to me could become a stranger.Daniel walked up to me, one step at a time. His eyes reddened with emotion as he l

When Daniel got back from the monastery, Renzo threw his arms around him, crying. "Daddy, where's my mommy? I want my mommy."Daniel gazed down at the little boy and suddenly realized Renzo didn't resemble him at all.He plucked a hair from Renzo's head and handed it to Nico along with one of his own. "I want the results as fast as possible."An hour later, Nico brought him the DNA report.When Daniel read that he wasn't the father, his golden eyes grew bloodshot with fury.He took the report to Talia and slapped her across the face. "Talia, you bitch. How dare you lie to me!"When Talia saw the report, she went white. She knew the truth was out, and no excuse in the world would help her now.So she threw herself at Daniel and clung to him. "Daniel, I was wrong. I just loved you too much. That's the only reason I used this child to keep you with me."Daniel shoved Talia away. "You bitch. You drove my Lucia away, and I'm not letting you get away with it!"Beside himself with rage, Danie

Daniel stood frozen for a long time.When it finally sank in, he drew the gun from his waistband and pressed it to Nico's head. "What the hell did you just hand me? Got a death wish?"Daniel tossed the papers into the air and put a bullet through them.He took out his phone and called the estate. "Where's Lucia?""Don, the Donna hasn't been home in three days."Daniel gripped the phone and spoke through gritted teeth. "What the hell is wrong with you? She's been gone three days, and you didn't tell me!""I did call you, but Ms. Marino said you were busy—"Before the words were even out, Daniel kicked open the bedroom door.He strode over and grabbed Talia by the throat. "Why did Lucia leave?"Talia looked bewildered. "Lucia left? Where did she go...""Don't play dumb with me." Daniel's grip tightened as if he meant to snap her neck.Talia's face went red, but she kept up the act and whimpered, "I don't know what you're talking about..."Talia was on the verge of choking to death when N

After leaving the cemetery, I left Renzo in the butler's care and headed to the airport.Boarding didn't start for another ten hours, but I didn't want to set foot in that house again.While I waited at the airport, Daniel texted me. "Baby, I landed safely. Have you been eating? I miss you so much."I didn't answer, so he called.Afraid he'd hear the airport noise, I quickly declined the call and texted back, "Just ate. Kind of tired. Going to bed."Daniel didn't call again. He just texted back, "Then get some rest. I might be really busy the next few days. If you can't reach me, don't be mad, okay? I'll bring you a present when I get back.""Okay." That was all I sent back.Eventually, the boarding announcement came over the speakers.I pulled the SIM card out of my phone and threw it in the trash.Holding my daughter's ashes, I boarded a plane for another country.Daniel, this is goodbye for good....After three hectic days in Kenya, Daniel finally had a chance to breathe.Lucia had

When I woke up, Daniel wasn't in the room.I figured he'd gone to headquarters.So I started packing.When I took the suitcase out of the closet, the sight of what was inside cut deep.If I remembered right, I'd packed this suitcase five years ago, when Daniel said he'd take me to see the northern lights.But I'd never used it... not even once.I emptied the suitcase and tossed everything aside.Just then, Daniel came in and slid his arms around my waist. "Where are you off to?"I forced a small smile. "Didn't you say you'd take me to see the northern lights? I'm getting a head start on packing."Daniel's arms suddenly tightened around my waist, and he turned me to face him. "Lucia, we probably can't go this year either. There's a problem with a weapons shipment. I have to leave for Kenya today, and headquarters is going to be swamped at the end of the year..."His voice trailed off.He sighed and held me tighter, as if he couldn't get close enough. "Next year, I'll take you for sure.

"Daniel..." I immediately stepped forward and wrapped my arms around him.Daniel chuckled softly and hugged me back.His lips trailed down my neck and settled on my collarbone.I drew in a sharp breath. An idea came to me out of nowhere."Daniel, let's have a baby."Daniel stiffened. For a long time, he didn't say anything.I should have known then what he was really thinking.But I was still holding on to a fantasy. If he was willing to have a baby with me, I could let everything else go.Then Daniel crushed that hope. "Lucia, did you go to the hospital for tests again?"Without even unfolding the test results, he crumpled them in his fist and tossed them straight into the trash.He held me close, his voice soft and coaxing. "The doctors said your body can't handle a pregnancy. I'd rather keep you safe than have a baby."He kissed my cheek, then picked me up and laid me on the bed. "There. If you're tired, get some sleep. I'll stay right here with you."I rolled over and saw the test
