The Don’s Hidden Wife Chapter 10
Dante stared at the dissolution agreement."I can't.""This isn't a request.""We just lost our daughter. You're still recovering. This is not the time to make a decision like this.""I didn't decide today. I decided when I knelt before Camilla and begged her to let a doctor save my child. I decided when I called you again and again, and you trusted an old photograph instead of confirming my safety. Our marriage ended when I lay inside your hospital and listened to our daughter's heartbeat disappear."His breathing grew heavier."I concealed your identity to protect you. The Marino family has always searched for my weaknesses. If they knew you were my wife and carried my child, they would target you. I let you keep Bellini and housed you outside the family structure because I believed it was safest.""You never asked if I wanted that life. You decided which name I could use, where I could go, and who could remain near me. You called it protection. In the end, your own men didn't recogn

"I'm your husband," Dante said, his voice unsteady. "I'm her father."The words sounded obscene now."You surrendered both roles when you locked the blood bank and operating room.""I thought it was a Marino trap. Camilla and Teresa lied to me.""They did, but they did not speak the order in your place. Camilla exploited your indulgence, and Teresa fed you false information. You decided that a hemorrhaging woman should wait. Because you believed she wasn't your wife and the dying baby wasn't your daughter, you thought there was time."He had no answer.Police escorted Camilla away after her injuries were treated. Teresa was also detained. When officers approached Dante, he did not resist. Even as they secured his wrists, his eyes remained on me."I'll cooperate and accept responsibility. But don't leave me, Sienna. When I return, we'll bury our daughter together. I'll announce our marriage and acknowledge you before the whole family. I'll end the secrecy and never hide you again. We ca

Camilla stared at him. "What?""Kneel before Sienna.""My father died saving your family. You promised to protect me.""You struck my wife, watched her bleed, and kept doctors away. Then you bribed Teresa to lie and exploited my order to seal the hospital. The Valenti Family's promise to you ended when you decided my wife and child could die.""I never wanted them dead. The collision was an accident. I was afraid you would blame me. And you gave the order.""Yes. I will answer for it. That does not absolve you."At his signal, the guards forced her to her knees beside my bed."You can't do this," she cried. "You protected me for years. Everyone thought I was special. Then this woman appeared, and you secretly married her and hid her where no one could find her."At last, I understood. Camilla might not have wanted Dante's love. What she could not accept was losing the privilege bought by her father's sacrifice. My existence meant Dante had a family whose safety came before hers. Once m

The records documented every payment between Camilla and Teresa. In exchange for the money, Teresa had shared my schedule, appointment times, and travel routes.Three minutes after Camilla sent fifty thousand dollars that morning, Teresa messaged her:Sienna's appointment ends at four. Gray dress. No bodyguard.Dante's hands shook around the printed pages."You knew who she was.""No.""Before the collision, you knew Sienna would be on that street. You recognized her when she fell in front of your car, then told me she was an enemy impostor.""I only wanted to see her," Camilla cried. "Everyone knew you were hiding a woman, but you never told me who she was. I asked Teresa for her schedule. I didn't plan the crash. I was looking at my phone and missed the light. By the time I saw her, it was too late.""So the collision was an accident," I said for her. "But once you recognized me, you deliberately kept the ambulance away."Camilla faced me. "I panicked. If Dante found out I had hit yo

Camilla finally moved."Dante, this is impossible. Teresa said Sienna was home. I didn't know the woman I hit was her." She glanced at the baby, then quickly looked away. "And it was an accident. She appeared in the road before I could stop. You can't blame everything on me."Dante stood. He did not reassure her as he had after every previous mistake."You said she threw herself in front of your car.""Everything was chaotic. I was guessing.""You called her enemy bait and said she attacked you.""She knew your secret. No one in Greyhaven knows you're married. Of course I was suspicious.""You told the guards her bleeding was minor and stopped paramedics from reaching her."Camilla paled. "I was following your order.""My order was to secure the scene until Marco verified her identity. When did I order you to keep a doctor from an injured pregnant woman?"She stepped back. "What if she had really been an enemy?""She knelt before you. She agreed to accept blame for the collision. You h
The Don’s Hidden Wife Chapter 5
Dante stared at the ring. It had been made by the Valenti family's old jeweler, with our wedding date engraved inside. No duplicate existed.Three years ago, Dante had removed it from my finger and placed it on a chain. He promised that when the danger passed, he would announce our marriage and I could wear it openly.Now it rested against my bloodstained hospital gown.His gaze rose to my white face, the transfusion line in my arm, and the child wrapped in my arms. For the first time, the man who could face guns and betrayal without flinching seemed to forget how to breathe."Sienna?""Don't say my name."There were no screams left in me, only numbness deep enough to reach my bones.Dante stared at the bundle. "Who is she?"I adjusted the corner of her blanket. "Our daughter."He stopped moving."She was thirty weeks old. At today's appointment, they said she was developing beautifully. She kept moving during the ultrasound, so the technician couldn't get a clear picture. I was going
