I woke up, and I was 28 again. I had twin heirs, and my husband was Santino, Veridia's most feared Mafia Don. He sat at the head of the Commission of the Five Families. His sharp profile was a fixture on the cover of the underworld's most exclusive magazine for several consecutive issues. Even the oldest Valerian families were lining up to offer him their daughters. All the women in Altoria envied my good fortune. But the first thing I did after waking up was pick up the divorce papers, the ink still fresh, and handed them to his childhood sweetheart, Jessy. "My lawyer will handle the divorce. The properties and assets are yours. Santino is yours. The children are yours, too." Sitting across from me, Jessy couldn't believe it, her eyes wide with shock. "Are you crazy, Alessia? Is this some kind of trick?" "How could the woman who has been Donna for six years give it all up so easily?" I lowered my gaze, my tone calm. "Since they all prefer you, I figured it was time to step aside." "Just have Santino sign it and press his signet ring into the wax seal." "Once the divorce is final, I'll leave Veridia for good." This time, I would not make the same mistake. I would never again be a Donna in name only.

The Powerless Donna’s Second Life Chapter 13
Every question was a slap to his face, shattering his pride.The children were crying so hard they could barely breathe, their small hands clawing desperately at my clothes, trying to win back the mother they had pushed away."We were really wrong, Mama," Sofia sobbed, her body wracked with convulsions from crying so hard. "We'll only listen to you from now on... please don't leave us."My vision blurred, but I knew these were tears for the meek person I used to be, not a sign of my heart softening.Julian silently walked to my side and handed me a clean tissue, the light touch of his fingertips bringing a steadying warmth.This simple gesture completely ignited Santino's rage."Who the hell are you?" he demanded, his eyes promising to tear Julian apart on the spot. "What right do you have to interfere in the Genovese family's affairs?"Julian pushed up the glasses on his nose and, to my surprise, didn't back down in the face of that terrifying pressure.His voice was gentle but held a

The wind chime on the gallery door chimed crisply.I looked up, and the smile on my lips instantly froze.That scent in the air, a mix of expensive cigars and cold leather. I would know it anywhere."Sofia?" My voice trembled slightly.My gaze traveled past the child and landed on Santino.There was no joy of reunion in my heart, only a churning resistance and a familiar chill. I even took a step back instinctively."What... what are you doing here? How did you find me?"Chloe looked curiously at the strangers who had burst in, instinctively hiding behind me.The sensitive child had picked up on the tension immediately.Julian, who had been organizing art books, straightened up and moved to stand between us, a subtle but firm barrier."Mama!" Leo rushed in right after his sister, his arms wrapping tightly around my legs."We missed you so much! Mama, did you leave us for them?"He looked up, his eyes so much like his father's, and glared at Chloe with a hostility that made her clutch m

Santino's POVSantino stood before the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, his long fingers drumming restlessly on the mahogany desk.As night fell, his agitation grew.Getting rid of Jessy was just the first step. Now, he had to get back what was truly his.His top aide entered and handed him a top-secret file."Don, we've found the Donna. She's in Lumina, on the West Coast. She opened an art gallery."He opened the file. The first thing he saw was a telephoto shot.Inside the sun-drenched gallery, Alessia was kneeling on the floor.Her expression was one of absolute tenderness as she patiently taught a little girl to paint with her fingers.And beside her stood a tall, well-built man in gold-rimmed glasses, watching her with an expression of profound affection and admiration.The three of them looked like a goddamn perfect family.The warm, peaceful scene was like a rusty knife stabbing into his pride.Veins bulged on the back of the hand gripping the photograph. He nearly crushed th

Santino's POVFrom that night on, with Jessy's tacit approval, the staff at the estate also began to treat the children with disdain.They began to ignore the children.Not only were their elite tutoring sessions canceled, but eventually, even their specially prepared nutritional meals were gone.They could only eat whatever cold leftovers were in the kitchen after Jessy had finished her meals.The long-term malnutrition and chaotic schedule left the two once-radiant heirs looking sallow and thin.In his high-rise office overlooking the city, Santino was dealing with a difficult turf war.His private phone on the desk vibrated. It was the family's private physician."Don, Master Leo has a high fever. We can't delay treatment any longer. If it develops into pneumonia, the consequences could be severe."Santino's brow furrowed sharply. "Why am I only hearing about this now?""Miss Jessy said not to make a fuss, that we shouldn't disturb you.""What did you say?" Santino's face darkened,
