The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 57: Isabella
The silk nightgown had cost more than most people's rent.I'd worn it to bed every night for the past week, letting it slip off my shoulder at just the right moments, bending over to check on Aria so Alessandro could see the curve of my breasts.Nothing.He looked, of course. Alessandro was still a man, after all.But his eyes held the same distant politeness they'd carried since Marco's call three weeks ago.Since Vanessa's death.Since my victory.I adjusted the neckline of my cream silk blouse and checked my reflection in the hallway mirror before heading to the kitchen.If seduction wasn't working, perhaps it was time for a different approach.---Alessandro was already at the breakfast table, Aria on his lap as he fed her small pieces of cut strawberries.My heart should have melted at the sight—my handsome husband and our perfect daughter sharing their morning ritual.Instead, I felt the familiar stab of jealousy.Even grieving, even distant, he gave Aria more genuine affection
The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 56: Victoria
Two weeks at the gallery had changed everything.My hands were stained with ink from pricing labels. My feet ached from standing on the polished concrete floors. And for the first time since waking up in that hospital bed, I felt alive."Victoria, can you help this gentleman with the piece in the corner?" Giulia called from where she was hanging a new painting.I turned to see an older man studying one of her abstract works—swirls of blue and gold that looked like a storm meeting sunlight."It's beautiful, isn't it?" I said, moving to stand beside him."My wife would have loved it," he said softly. "She always said art should make you feel something, even if you can't explain what.""Your wife sounds like she understood what Giulia is trying to do with her work."He nodded, lost in the painting for a moment."Would have been our fortieth anniversary next month."The past tense hung heavy between us, and I felt that familiar ache of understanding loss without remembering my own."She w

The morning light streaming through the terrace windows felt like an accusation.Seven days.Seven days of sitting in this beautiful apartment like a china doll on a shelf, perfectly dressed and utterly useless.I set down my untouched coffee and stared at the ring on my finger. The same ring that had given me a name but no memories, purpose, or direction.Victoria Romano.Even saying it felt like wearing clothes that didn't fit.Maria had left fresh flowers on the kitchen counter—bright yellow sunflowers that seemed to mock my dark mood."Buongiorno, cara," she'd said when she arrived that morning, her usual warmth radiating through the small space. "You look better today."But I didn't feel better.I felt restless, caged, like I was slowly disappearing into the comfortable walls of this borrowed life."Maria," I'd said, watching her arrange the flowers. "I need to do something. Work, volunteer, anything. I can't just sit here forever."She'd paused, her weathered hands gentle on the

The discharge papers felt heavy in my hands, like they carried more weight than just my medical records.Dr. Martinelli had signed off on everything that morning, declaring me physically fit to leave the hospital that had been my entire world for the past week.Physically fit.Mentally, I was still a stranger to myself."Your follow-up appointments are scheduled for next week," the nurse said, checking items off her list. "Make sure you don't miss them. Head injuries can be unpredictable."I nodded, but my mind was elsewhere, focused on the terrifying reality that in a few hours, I'd be walking out of this room with nowhere to go.---No family to call. No friends to turn to. No home to return to.The ring in the plastic bag might mean I had a husband somewhere, but if he existed, he wasn't looking for me.The police had found no missing person reports matching my description.No one had come forward claiming to know Victoria Romano.It was like I'd materialized on that Roman road fro

I was arranging flowers in the dining room when I heard Alessandro's phone ring.The sound echoed through our perfect house, cutting through the peaceful afternoon like a blade.From where I stood, I could see that his office door was closed. I'd learned to read the signs—when Alessandro locked himself away, it meant business. The kind of business I wasn't supposed to know about.But this time was different.This time, I was expecting the call.I'd been waiting three weeks for this moment.Three long weeks of watching Alessandro move through our new life like a ghost, always looking over his shoulder, always waiting for something.Or someone.The flowers—white roses mixed with baby's breath—looked perfect against the mahogany table. Pure and innocent, like the life I was building for us.Like the woman I pretended to be.I heard Alessandro's voice through the walls, muffled but urgent.Then silence.Then what sounded like something falling.My heart raced with anticipation, but I forc
The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 52: Alessandro
The California sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of my home office, painting everything in shades of gold that should have felt like hope.Instead, it felt like mockery.I'd been staring at the same contract for twenty minutes, the words blurring together until they meant nothing. Outside, the Pacific Ocean stretched endlessly toward the horizon, beautiful and empty.Like everything else in my new life.The intercom buzzed, and Isabella's voice drifted through the speaker."Alessandro? Lunch is ready.""I'll be there in a minute," I called back, not moving from my desk.One month in New York had been exactly what Isabella promised—peaceful, luxurious, a fresh start wrapped in ocean breezes and expensive wine.The business was thriving. Marcus had seamlessly taken over the East Coast operations, and my California connections were proving lucrative.Aria was happy, babbling in two languages and taking her first tentative steps across our marble floors.Everything was per
