The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 51: Victoria
The knock on my door came at exactly ten in the morning.I'd been awake since dawn, staring at the ceiling and trying to make sense of the fragments floating in my head. Pieces of a puzzle that refused to fit together."Come in," I called, my voice still hoarse.The door opened, and I saw him.Tall. Dark hair, just like the nurse had said. But she hadn't mentioned the way he moved—confident, purposeful, like a man who was used to being in control.His eyes found mine immediately, and something flickered across his face. Relief, maybe."Miss Romano." His voice carried a slight accent I couldn't place. "I'm glad to see you're awake."---He stepped into the room, and I noticed everything about him at once.Expensive suit, perfectly tailored. Watch that probably costs more than most people's cars. Shoes that had been polished to a mirror shine.But it was his face that held my attention.Sharp cheekbones. Dark eyes that seemed to see everything. A mouth that looked like it didn't smile o
The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 50: Victoria
The world tilted sideways as consciousness crept back in.Everything was spinning—white ceiling, white walls, white sheets that smelled like disinfectant and despair.I tried to sit up, and the room lurched violently.A scream tore from my throat before I could stop it.---Footsteps thundered down the hallway.A nurse burst through the door, her face creased with concern. She was middle-aged, with kind eyes behind wire-rimmed glasses."Signorina, please, you must stay calm," she said in accented English.Behind her, a doctor appeared—tall, graying at the temples, wearing a white coat that looked like it had seen better days."What's happening to me?" My voice came out as a croak.The doctor moved to my bedside, pulling out a small flashlight."My name is Dr. Martinelli. You're in the hospital. I need you to follow the light with your eyes."I obeyed, squinting as he checked my pupils."Good. Now, can you tell me your name?""Victoria Romano."The name felt strange on my tongue.---"
The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 49: Alessandro
The black SUV pulled away from the penthouse, and I watched Italy disappear in the rearview mirror.Each familiar street that passed felt like closing a door I'd never be able to open again."Second thoughts?" Isabella asked softly from beside me.I glanced at Aria in her car seat, her tiny fingers wrapped around her stuffed elephant. She was watching the city scroll by with wide, curious eyes."No," I said. "This is right."The lie came easier than it should have.---Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was in chaos as always. Private jet passengers had their terminal, but even then, the noise and crowds made my jaw clench.I lifted Aria from her car seat, and she immediately buried her face against my shoulder."Scared?" Isabella asked, reaching for our daughter.But Aria's grip on my shirt tightened, and she shook her head without lifting it from my neck."She's fine with me," I said.Isabella's smile flickered, but she nodded. "Of course. She's always been a daddy's girl."Had

The house was perfect.Mediterranean style, with white stucco walls and terracotta tiles, nestled in the hills overlooking Malibu. Private beach access, six bedrooms, infinity pool that seemed to blend into the Pacific horizon.Most importantly, it was thousands of miles away from here and every ghost that haunted us there."The master suite has ocean views," the realtor had gushed during our video tour. "And there's a separate wing for children, with its play area."Alessandro had nodded approvingly, but I could see the distance in his eyes.He was still thinking about her and still wondering where she'd gone.But that would change once we were settled in New York. Once there were no more familiar places to trigger memories of his precious nanny."We'll take it," I'd said before he could voice any doubts.The wire transfer went through yesterday. By the end of the week, we'll be homeowners in paradise.And I'd finally have Alessandro all to myself.---I was in Aria's room now, caref
The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 47: Alessandro
The funeral was a blur of black suits and hollow condolences.I stood beside Isabella as they lowered her uncle's casket into the ground, watching her dab at tears that seemed genuine enough.Salvatore had been many things—rival, enemy, a ruthless Don. But seeing Isabella's grief reminded me that he'd also been family.The only family she had left."I'm sorry for your loss," I murmured as we walked back to the car.She leaned against me, and for the first time since her return, the gesture felt natural."Thank you for being here. I know you two didn't get along."That was an understatement. Salvatore and I had been circling each other like sharks for years, each waiting for the other to show weakness.But he was Isabella's blood. And despite everything, she'd loved him."Family is family," I said.She looked up at me with something that might have been surprise."Even after everything he did to us? To me?"I thought about the attempts on my businesses, my warehouse, and the constant w
The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 46: Isabella
The drive back to the penthouse felt like a victory lap. Every mile between me and that warehouse was another step toward the life I deserved. Vanessa was handled. Soon she'd be just another unsolved murder in a city full of them. Alessandro would grieve, maybe. Wonder what happened to his precious nanny. But grief faded. And I'd be there to help him forget. My phone rang as we hit traffic on the FDR Drive. "Mrs. De Luca? This is Dr. Harrison from Mount Sinai." My uncle's doctor. Right on schedule. "I'm afraid I have some concerning news about your uncle's condition." I arranged my voice into proper worry. "What's wrong?" "His kidney function has declined rapidly over the past week. We're running tests, but... I think you should prepare for the worst." "Oh my God. Should I come to the hospital?" "That might be wise. If you want to say goodbye." Perfect. The poison was working faster than expected. "I'll be there as soon as I can." I hung up and smiled. B
