The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 72: Alessandro
The house felt different without Isabella's presence.Quieter.Less like a battlefield and more like a home.I'd expected Aria to ask for her mother when she woke, but my daughter surprised me. She padded into the kitchen in her pajamas after I kept her in the sitting room, I put her onto her, and she asked for pancakes like it was any other morning."Mama go bye-bye?" she asked between bites, syrup dripping down her chin."Yes, baby. Mama went bye-bye.""Okay." She went back to her pancakes without another word.Maybe two-year-olds were more resilient than I'd given them credit for. Or maybe Aria had sensed the tension between Isabella and me long before I'd asked for the divorce.Either way, her easy acceptance made what I had to do next slightly less complicated."How would you like to go on an airplane today?"Her dark eyes widened with excitement. "Big airplane?""Very big airplane."She clapped her sticky hands together, and for the first time in months, I felt something close t
The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 71: Alessandro
The divorce papers sat on my desk like a loaded weapon.Twenty pages of legal language that would dissolve three years of marriage and free me to rebuild my life.I'd spent the entire morning with my lawyers, going through every clause, every contingency, every possible complication Isabella might try to exploit.The settlement was generous—more generous than she deserved, but I wanted this finished quickly and cleanly.No drawn-out court battles.No public spectacle.Just a swift, surgical end to something that should never have begun.But there was one non-negotiable term that I knew would start a war.Aria's custody.My daughter would stay with me.Not shared custody.Not weekends and holidays.Full custody, with Isabella granted supervised visitation at my discretion.The lawyers had tried to talk me out of it, warning that family court judges typically favored mothers, especially in cases involving toddlers.But they didn't understand what I understood about Isabella.They didn't
The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 70: Isabella
I sat alone in our bedroom, staring at the sapphire necklace Alessandro had given me just hours ago.The stones caught the lamplight, throwing blue fire across my trembling fingers.A parting gift.That's what it had been, though I hadn't understood it then.Alessandro had been saying goodbye with expensive jewelry and property deeds, trying to ease his guilty conscience with Italian villas and precious gems.As if anything could compensate for the humiliation of being rejected by my husband.As if anything could make up for three years of fighting for a man's attention only to lose to a ghost.The look in his eyes when he'd pushed me away would haunt me forever.Not anger.Not frustration.Complete indifference.Like touching me was a chore he could no longer stomach.Like the woman who'd borne his child, who'd rebuilt herself to be worthy of his love, who'd eliminated his greatest threat—like I was nothing more than an inconvenience standing between him and whatever he wanted."Afte

Isabella's lips were soft against mine, warm and inviting in a way that should have made me want more.Instead, I felt nothing.Worse than nothing—I felt trapped.When she pressed closer, her silk nightgown sliding against my chest, something inside me snapped.I pushed her away.Not gently.Not with the careful consideration I'd been showing her for months.I pushed her away like she was a stranger trying to take something that didn't belong to her."Alessandro?" Her voice was small and confused, the sound of a woman who'd just been rejected by her husband.I couldn't look at her.Couldn't see the hurt in her eyes without feeling like the bastard I was becoming."I can't do this anymore, Isabella."The words hung in the air between us like a death sentence.Isabella sat back on her heels, the expensive necklace I'd given her catching the lamplight."Can't do what?""This. Us. Pretend that we're something we're not."Her face went pale beneath her carefully applied makeup."What are y
The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 68: Victoria
The apartment was finally starting to feel like home.I'd found a small table at a secondhand market and two mismatched chairs that worked perfectly together.The walls were still mostly bare except for Alessandro's painting, but I'd bought a few plants that seemed to thrive in the morning sunlight.It wasn't much, but it was mine.Every stick of furniture, every placement decision, every small improvement—all of it came from my own choices and my paycheck.The independence was intoxicating.And terrifying.My first utility bill had been a shock.Not because the amount was unreasonable, but because I'd never had to budget for electricity and water, and gas before.Ace's apartment had been all-inclusive, a cocoon of comfort where I never had to think about the practical realities of adult life.Now I was learning about grocery budgets and cooking for one and the particular loneliness that came with eating dinner at a small table by yourself.But even the loneliness felt like progress.
The Don’s Mysterious Nanny Chapter 67: Isabella
Two days had passed since Alessandro's return from Italy.Two days of watching him go through the motions of being a devoted husband while his mind remained somewhere else entirely.I stood at my vanity, applying the last touches of lipstick, and tried not to think about how desperate I'd become.Killing Vanessa was supposed to solve everything.With her gone, Alessandro should have had no choice but to focus on our marriage, our family, our future.Instead, he'd become more distant than ever.More unreachable.Like part of him had died with her."Stop it," I whispered to my reflection.Tonight was going to be different.Tonight, Alessandro was taking me to dinner—our first real date since the reconciliation.He'd even mentioned a gift he'd brought back from Italy, something special he wanted to give me in person.Finally, his attention was where it belonged.On me.The black dress I'd chosen cost more than most people's monthly salary.It hugged every curve, showcased every asset, an
