The Don's Contracted Husband CHAPTER SIXTY: Hate and Love
Ginevra had remained quiet throughout the exchange, but every word Donato spoke added to her frustration. She had expected Vittorio to defend her, perhaps even convince Donato to reconsider his actions. Instead, her father had ordered her to keep quiet in front of everyone.She hated being treated like a child, especially with the heads of the Del Sindacato watching her. She had only wanted to get Donato's attention, she never imagined things would go this far, and now Edoardo was dead because of it.Damn his soul. If only he had done his job well, she wouldn't have to seat here and face such humiliation. Even now, with the evidence laid out before them, she felt no pity. A part of her resented Jesse, no. Every part of her resented Jesse. If he hadn't come into Donato's life, perhaps things would have been different. Donato might have considered her instead of tying himself to a man who had no business being part of their world.She pressed her fingers against her skirt, fighting the
The Don's Contracted Husband CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE: The Grand Meeting
Jesse sat on the sofa in the sitting room, watching a movie with a glass of water in one hand and the remote in the other.Donato was dressed to leave when he came across him. He slowed his steps, his gaze lingering on Jesse for a moment before he approached the sofa.“Why didn't you sleep in my room last night?”“I preferred my old room,” Jesse replied, his eyes fixed on the television.Donato glanced at him, then at the empty space beside him. He had noticed Jesse's distance the previous night, and although he hadn't pushed him to talk, he knew the matter between them hadn't been settled.“I won't be back today. I have a few things to take care of.”Jesse turned to him, lowering his glass and got up. “You're not coming back?” He took a few steps to meet him. “Is this payback? Because I avoided you last night and you—”Donato placed a finger gently against his lips. “Shhh. It's nothing like that. I have some issues to deal with.”Jesse fell silent, though the uncertainty remained on
The Don's Contracted Husband CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT: What Do You Want
Jesse stared at Donato, momentarily taken aback by his question.“Are you serious?”Donato raised an eyebrow. “Do I look like I'm joking?”Jesse looked at him for a moment before turning back to the cup of coffee on the table. “You want to help me make castagnole. Why?”“Can't I?”Jesse scoffed. “Since when do you help anyone make anything? No. Sratch that. When did you enter the kitchen?”“There's a first time for everything.”“Yeah, right.” Jesse snorted.Donato smiled as he moved his chair much closer to Jesse's. “So, are you going to let me join you, or do I need to beg?”Jesse gave him a doubtful look before shifting slightly to make room for him.“Fine. But don't mess anything up.”“No promises.”Jesse pressed his lips together and shot Donato an angry look. “I'm serious, Donato.”“So am I.” He shrugged casually. Jesse asked the maids to arrange the ingredients needed to make the snack. Once they had set everything out, he went upstairs to change into something more comfortable
The Don's Contracted Husband CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN: A Little Sugar
I love you. Jesse nearly whispered the words against Donato's ear, but he held himself back.Pressuring Donato with those words now wouldn't do any good, not when he had just admitted to being scared of his own feelings.Jesse could relate. He had once felt confused and scared of his own feelings when he discovered that he was attracted to both men and women.“Come on.” He got up and stretched out his hand to Donato. “Let's go and sleep. We need to recover the energy we've used in quarrelling.”Donato chuckled and took his hand. Jesse led him to the bed, switched off the light, and settled beside him. Donato reached for him and curled him into his arms.Jesse's lips lifted.He might not have heard the words he wanted to hear tonight, but they were getting somewhere. At least Donato had admitted that he felt something. That was a step.A huge one.---The maids had gathered in the kitchen that morning, their usual chores temporarily forgotten as they discussed the previous night's eve
The Don's Contracted Husband CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX: Marito
Donato’s lips curved into a satisfied smile.“Good boy.”Jesse’s face twisted with disgust, before he could respond, Donato sat on the left side of Darius and took her face in his hands, drawing her towards him.He kissed her, wrapping an arm around her.Darius responded eagerly, sliding her arms around his neck as Donato deepened the kiss. His eyes remained open briefly, watching Jesse over her shoulder.Jesse’s hands curled into fists. So that was how Donato wanted to play?Fine. He could play too.Jesse moved closer, placing a hand on Darius’s waist before leaning in to kiss her. Darius welcomed him, turning her face towards him while Donato kept an arm around her.Donato smirked. He pulled Darius towards him, his fingers sliding along her jaw as he tilted her face up and kissed her again. Their lips parted as their tongues moved against each other, every movement meant to be watched.His gaze remained on Jesse as he kissed her.Darius moaned into his mouth, a soft, needy sound tha
The Don's Contracted Husband CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE: Are You Straight
Jesse went downstairs to get a bottle of wine, leaving Darius in his bedroom.He was halfway down the stairs when he spotted one of the maids.“Could you bring a bottle of red wine to my room, please?”“Of course, Signor Miller.”“Thank you.”He was about to head back upstairs when Donato came down the stairs and stopped directly in his path.Donato folded his arms. “Who is she?”Jesse sighed. “Are we doing this again?”“I asked you a question.”“And I don’t owe you an answer,” Jesse retorted, folding his arms as well.Donato moved closer, his gaze travelling over Jesse’s blue robe. “You brought a woman into my house.”“Our house,” Jesse corrected. “And if you have a problem with that, you can take it up with yourself.”“Jesse.”“What?” Jesse spread his arms.“Are you intentionally trying to get under my skin?” Donato pressed his brows together. “I get the fact that you’re pissed at me, but you don’t have to go to this length just to make me jealous.”Jesse laughed, ran a hand through
