Too Sexy for the Don Chapter 12
The next morning, I woke up to the smell of breakfast from the kitchen. I went downstairs in my pajamas and saw Vito at the stove, wearing an apron, frying bacon.Sunlight spilled through the window and settled over him like a golden blanket. His left hand was still wrapped in bandages. His movements were rather clumsy, but they couldn't mask his intense focus."You're up."Vito turned and looked at me, smiling. "Go wash up. Breakfast's almost ready."I walked over and looked at the pan of sizzling bacon, toast already done on the side, eggs plated up. A warmth brewed in my chest."Your hand," I said, pointing at the bandage."It's fine. Just a small cut," he said, waving it off. "The doctor said as long as I don't get it wet, it'll heal soon."I didn't reply, but took the spatula from him. "Let me do it."Vito paused for a second, then smiled. "Sure."He stood next to me, watching as I finished plating the bacon and poured the milk into glasses. Out of the blue, he popped a q

The day Vito came back, Cicaro had its first rain of the season.I stood at the entrance with an umbrella, watching a black sedan cut through the rain curtain. My heart was pounding.The car stopped. The door opened, and out came Vito. He wore a black overcoat, collar turned up, making his face look paler than usual.I saw his left hand dressed in bandages, which wrapped all the way down to his wrist."Why are you standing out here in the rain?"Vito sprinted over, took the umbrella from my hand, and held it over me."I was waiting for you."He leveled his eyes at me. Raindrops slid off the umbrella ribs and dripped onto his shoulder. I wouldn't deny that he looked thinner, with new shadows under his eyes, and a faint stubble on his jaw.Still, his eyes were bright. When he looked at me, they were as warm as ever."I'm back," he said.I nodded, my nose suddenly stinging. "Come in. You'll get soaked."I turned and walked inside. Vito followed behind me, the umbrella still hel

Although Vito had promised to be back soon, he still hadn't returned after a week.On the tenth day, Teresa called me. Her tone was heavier than usual. "Rossella, something came up on Vito's end. He might be delayed a few more days.""What's happening?" I asked.She paused for a few seconds. "There's trouble on the West Coast. Someone started a mess. Vito got a bit hurt. He turned his phone off in case he was being tracked, so he hasn't been reachable these past few days."My heart sank. "How bad is he hurt?""Nothing serious. Just surface wounds. He'll be fine in a few days," she said, her tone somewhat reassuring. "He wanted me to tell you not to worry and that he'll be back in no time."I hung up and paced the room several times. In the end, I couldn't hold back and called Vito again.No answer.I called again and again. Nothing.I lost count of how many times I tried, but eventually, the line connected."Rossella?"Vito's voice came through rough and tired. I got straigh

The day after Vito left for the West Coast, Enzo came again.This time, he didn't bring flowers or chocolates. He brought a file. Placing it before me, he said, "Take a look, Rossella."When I glanced down, I realized it was a contract. If I signed it, the port business would be handed over to me. I looked up at Enzo. "What's this supposed to mean?""Exactly what you think it means."He sat down across from me. "Look, I know you hate me, but you can't gamble your whole life like this. The Scalera family isn't as simple as you think. And Vito? He's not someone you can control.""I don't need to control anyone," I countered."You're being naive."Enzo's tone sharpened with a hint of desperation. "You really think he's serious with you? Think about it, Rossella. He barely knows you. Why would he marry you?""Because his Madre likes me.""Sure, his Madre likes you. But what about him?" he probed, staring into my eyes. "Are you sure he actually wants to marry you, and not just beca

A week went by.Just as Enzo said, he kept showing up almost every day. Sometimes in the morning, sometimes at dusk. Occasionally, he brought flowers or a box of chocolates—all things I used to like.Back then, his tenderness and care were a luxury I couldn't beg for, even if I tried. Now, he was dumping it all in my lap at once. I didn't feel happy. Instead, the irony was suffocating.Vito, on the other hand, stayed cool about it. Every time he ran into Enzo, he didn't get worked up. He would greet him like a gentleman, then casually take me away.Naturally, Enzo's mood worsened by the day.Bellamy came around a few times too, using apologizing as an excuse, trying to get close to me again. I couldn't be bothered. Every time, I had the maid send her packing.Two weeks later, Teresa heard about the drama and came to see me in person.She took my hand, her tone warm. "Rossella, has Vito been nice to you? If he gives you a hard time, tell me. I'll straighten him out."I laughed,

The next morning, Enzo came to my new place.I was still having breakfast. When the maid came in to report him, I almost threw the fork in my hand. "Tell him I'm not here."She looked hesitant. "But Signora… Don Vitale is already inside…"Before she even finished, Enzo was standing in the dining room doorway. He wore a dark gray suit today. His hair was neatly combed, looking as proper as always.However, the dark circles under his eyes gave him away, as he clearly hadn't slept well."Rossella," he called out, standing there. "We need to talk.""There's nothing to talk about."I set down my fork and wiped my mouth with a napkin. "I've already said everything I needed to say, Enzo."He took a slow breath, as though holding himself back. "I know you hate me—how strict I was with you, how I always compare you to Bellamy. But Rossella, I did all of that for you.""For me?"I couldn't help laughing out loud. "You know what I can't stand most about you? It's that damn 'I'm doing th
