Report
In the fifth year of my marriage with Luca Salvatore, his older brother, Kendall Salvatore, suddenly passes away. As such, Luca becomes the new Don due to the circumstances. But the Salvatore family has one condition for Luca—he has to sire an heir with Kendall's widow, Cindy Newton, in order to maintain the marriage alliance between both families. I refuse to accept that condition. Luca turns it down firmly as well. He even takes my hand and makes a vow right in front of me. "Xandra, I will never yield to my family. You're the only woman fit to become the Donna of the Salvatore family. Our child can be the only one who inherits my position as the Don in the future." But gradually, he has been staying up late due to family affairs more and more often. There's also unfamiliar perfume clinging to his clothes. But today is the day when my suspicions are finally proven to be true thanks to a video sent by an unknown number. In the video, Luca can be seen accompanying Cindy to a prenatal check-up. As he caresses her baby bump, he says in a tender tone, "You must have suffered a lot, Cindy. Thank you for siring the heir of the Salvatore family." At that moment, I finally realize that Luca has already broken the vow he has made to me. Hence, I burn down our home and leave without hesitation. After all, my dad—the Don of the Caprese family—is already urging me to go home and take over the family as the new Donna.

When the Don Inherits His Brother's Widow Chapter 12
Luca was stripped of the Salvatore name and cast out of the family. The once-high-and-mighty Don became a nobody, despised by everyone overnight.No one dared to take him in, and no company would hire him. That was my order. I wanted him to taste the coldness of the world, the harshness of reality.He started doing manual labor at the docks or washing dishes in restaurants. He did the most menial work for meager pay.Sometimes, I would see updates about him in reports from my people. In the photos, he wore filthy work clothes, his hands covered in frostbite and wounds, his eyes hollow and numb. He was nothing like the proud second son of the Salvatore family from five years ago.I felt no sympathy. This was what he deserved.As for Krista, after the Salvatore family changed heads, she lost everything. Unable to bear the fall from power, she lost her mind and was sent to a sanatorium.Half a year later, Quentin knocked and stepped into my office, his expression complicated. "Princ

In the end, Luca came, carrying a locked briefcase. He looked even more haggard than before, with dark circles under his eyes.He opened the briefcase, revealing the transfer documents for the Salvatore family's core assets, along with the family crest that symbolized the Don's power. "Everything you want is here," he said, his voice hoarse. "I just have one condition.""What condition?" I asked."I hope you keep your word. Spare the rest of the Salvatores. Let me take responsibility for everything."I was slightly surprised. I hadn't expected him to choose to protect his family in the end."Sure." I nodded. "From the beginning, my target was only you."He seemed to let out a sigh of relief, a bitter smile touching his lips. "Xandra, you win."I corrected him. "No. You lost. You lost everything on your own."He fell silent. After a long while, he lifted his head and looked at me deeply. "Before I sign these papers, may I ask one last question?""Go ahead.""Those five years

After buying the Salvatore residence, I immediately hosted a grand party there. Every mafia family was invited—except the Salvatore family.That night, Luca tried to force his way in, only to be pinned to the ground by security. "Xandra, come out and explain yourself!" he roared.I acted as if I hadn't heard a thing, raising my glass to the guests. Only after the party ended did I stroll to the entrance."Luca." I looked down at him from above. "Do you like the gift I gave you?"He lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot with fury. "Why are you doing this to me?""Why?" I laughed. "That's a question you should be asking yourself. How you treated me back then is exactly how I'm treating you now. You care about family honor, don't you? Then, I'll grind the Salvatore family's pride into the dirt in front of everyone. You wanted to be Don, didn't you? Then, I'll turn you into a stray with nothing."His body trembled violently. He was afraid. "Xandra… please…" His voice broke. "Let me go,

Cindy met a tragic end. Luca had crippled both her and her lover, then locked them together. He said, "Since you love each other that much, then stay together forever."As for Cindy's family, the Salvatore family crushed them because of the deception, and they were eventually divided by rival families.After dealing with Cindy, Luca thought I would change my mind. He came to a charity auction I was hosting, carrying a gift—Heart of Summer, a pink diamond bought at an outrageous price. He wanted to prove that he hadn't forgotten what I liked."Xandra, this is for you," he said as he held out the diamond-adorned necklace.I didn't even glance at it. "Don Salvatore, there's nothing between us to discuss.""Xandra, I've dealt with Cindy," he hurriedly explained. "That child wasn't mine. She lied to me the whole time. The only person I've ever loved is you!""So?" I looked at him coldly. "Does that change the fact that you betrayed me?""I…" He was at a loss for words."Luca, do you

The atmosphere in the living room was tense. Cindy sat reclined against the couch, while Luca sat close beside her, protectively guarding her belly. Across from them sat Luca's mother, Krista Mangione, along with several of the Salvatore family's senior elders.When I walked downstairs, every gaze

Early the next morning, I was woken by commotion downstairs.Luca had brought Cindy back. I watched coldly as he carefully supported her, as if she were some priceless treasure. Several men were carrying things inside—prenatal supplements of the highest quality and imported medical equipment."Car

I watched that clip over and over, ten times in total. In it, Luca Salvatore's gaze on Cindy Newton's belly was more sincere than the look he had when he swore his vows to me in the church five years ago.The screen went dark, reflecting my numb face. At that moment, I had to admit that the man who
