Valentina's POV

I was still sobbing when I heard the loud bang on the table. I jerked, raising my head only to find Isa staring at me, a hand on the table. “Shall I also wear them for you?”

My gaze finally fell on the materials that made the loud bang. A combat attire with shoes sat on the table. “What…”

“Get into them princess. It's time for you to train.”

I blinked. “Train,” my voice was barely audible. “For what?”

“For war,” Isa rolled her eyes. “When you meet the Don tonight, you ask him b

  • The Don's Replacement Bride   Chapter 8— Adjusting

    Valentina's POV I was still sobbing when I heard the loud bang on the table. I jerked, raising my head only to find Isa staring at me, a hand on the table. “Shall I also wear them for you?”My gaze finally fell on the materials that made the loud bang. A combat attire with shoes sat on the table. “What…”“Get into them princess. It's time for you to train.”I blinked. “Train,” my voice was barely audible. “For what?”“For war,” Isa rolled her eyes. “When you meet the Don tonight, you ask him but now, get into these.”“I don't want to.”Isa let out a silent exhale and grabbed the materials. I thought she was heading out but instead she walked towards me. “You don't have a choice, princess. If it weren't for me and the don, you wouldn't be here to make a choice.”“Remember the bullet came for you.”I froze, remembering the horrifying scene at the church. How Nikolai had shielded me as we ducked behind a table. How bullets rained in different directions, scattering glasses. Nikolai had

  • The Don's Replacement Bride   Chapter 7— She was the target

    Nikolai's POVOutside, Elias Nararro was waiting, serving the function of being the one managing the security of my estate. “Your role is about to change.” I said as we strode across the hallway.“I am aware, Don.”I paused to look at him as he gave a small bow, “you will treat her with dignity. Teach her every skill she needs to survive in this world, Elias. I want her fully trained.”“Understood boss,” Elias answered and I nodded as I continued my steps. One reason why Elias was the master security for my estate? He could easily blend in with his golden retriever energy. A man who was brutally efficient when necessary and someone that could go from playful to lethal in seconds.That was exactly what my new bride needed.That woman popped in my face the next second, the fear in her eyes as she was stark chest naked. She still had a lot to learn.“Don't tell me that guy is the one groaning in pain,” I murmured as we finally reached my perfectly carved dungeon amidst the loud groan.

  • The Don's Replacement Bride   Chapter 6— I own you now

    Valentina's POV Marbles stretched beneath my feet, smooth and shiny under the warm chandelier lights above. The walls were lined with dark wood and expensive artwork while the high ceiling managed to make everything grand and intimidating.This was a fortress and I was already caged in.There was no escape for me.At the thought, a chill ran down my spine and Isa turned to me at once. “Scared, princess?”“I'm no princess,” I scoffed as I looked around the mansion, “I am Valentina.”Isa only shrugged as she grabbed my hand, leading me through the various hallways. “Where are you taking me?” My voice was barely audible as exhaustion was wearing over me, “where do I sleep tonight?”Isa stopped in her steps immediately and turned to me. “With the Don.”“What?” My eyes widened as I pulled out of her grip. My heart thumped inside of my chest as I shook my head, “no. I will not. I'll not do that. I'll not do anything with him. I do not want this!”Isa scoffed as she watched me, “that's enou

  • The Don's Replacement Bride   Chapter 5— Welcome to my world

    Valentina's POVThe venue wasn't built for love. It was built for power. A private estate sat at the edge of the water, cut off from the rest of Miami like it existed by its own rules.Tall iron gates guarded the entrance, men in black stationed at every point still watchful , hands resting on their weapons.White marble floors stretched endlessly beneath towering ceilings, polished to a shine that reflected the crystal chandeliers hanging above. Rows of seats were arranged with precision, not comfort. Dark suits filled them. From outside, I could hear them speak, just low voices, measured and controlled, like every word was being weighed.“Having trouble walking?” The guard behind me asked as we reached the entrance even as the whole venue stretched ahead of me.“I don't want to do this,” I cried as I held onto the bouquet in my hands. “I don't want to do this. Camila should be here. Not me. Please.”“The Don is waiting,” the guard whispered. “Go in. Now.”I swallowed a shaky breath

  • The Don's Replacement Bride   Chapter 4— The Don is waiting

    Valentina's POVThe lady's fingers uncurled from me but I couldn't stay upright without support. I crashed to the floor immediately, pain shooting through my ankle.My heart hammered in my chest, each beat a reminder of what was about to happen to me.I was about to be married. At the age of 22. To a Don I knew was far older than me. And I didn't know what to expect.Tears rolled down my eyes as the Don finally reached me, his cologne dissolving in my nostrils layered with the scent of leather and smoke.He leaned down, eyes locking with mine and the world thinned. Danger. That was all his eyes whispered.He raised his hand and my chest trembled as his fingers rested on my curls. “Is this natural,” he asked, voice low, eyes already knowing the answer.Words hung in my throat as I fought back a sob. I didn’t want to marry. Especially not a Don. Especially not a man old enough to decide my life with a sentence. I wanted to further my education. I had plans.His free fingers closed aro

  • The Don's Replacement Bride   Chapter 3— Collateral: No escape

    Valentina's POV Tyres screamed against the asphalt, the sharp familiar screech as the car came to a halt. I froze, my limbs going numb as the car engine died and then all I heard was footsteps. Immediately, I stood to my feet, dashing to my window.And there they were.The two familiar figures I saw earlier today were here except guards were behind them and the lady was flicking a glistening knife in the air.She turned and I dodged just before she could catch my frame. They shouldn't see me. I couldn't let them see me except the deal with Camila was settled.Instantly, I dashed behind my bedframe, clutching my arms around myself, an action I used to do when I used to wait for my mum while she worked all day to care for me.Immediately, I heard voices from the living room. “Don Nikolai,” I heard dad's voice.“My payment or a bride, Harry. Which one do you have for me?” The calm, deep voice, followed.“A bride.”“Bring her.” The order came and all I heard was the clicking of shoes. I

    Valentina's POV“One of us?” The words left my mouth shaky, “what… do you mean?”“The Don needs a wife,” dad began, “and he wants his money or I give my daughter out.”“Wonderful!” I forced a chuckle as I ruffled my hair, “wonderful, dad. You've gotten yourself in problem,” I turned to Camila, enra

    Valentina's POV “Hurry up!” The harsh voice bellowed in my ears. I quickened my steps even as the weight of the bag in my hands slowed me down.“Once I get to the car, I'm leaving,” dad's voice came sharply. He was ahead of me, a hand in his pocket as he strutted.“Come on dad, please,” I paused a
