Все главы The Don's Daughter: Love & Betrayal: Глава 31 - Глава 40

I need an extra truckload of patience to deal with this shit. I'm starting to regret my decision to host these two brats. After having a shitty day, I thought getting a nice bath from Marianna would improve my mood. Hell, I even decided to follow the doctor's orders and rest. Hoping to clear my mind and figure out what the fuck is going on. I was lying in bed, struggling to fall asleep, when suddenly a piercing scream shattered the silence. At first, I thought it was Marianna and that someone was attacking her. But because of my shoulder, my movements were a bit slow. On my way out I saw Nev rushing towards Carina's room. It didn't hit me that was her room until I got there. And the scene awaiting me is not what I expected at all. Both Marianna and Carina have bloody faces, their clothes are all shaggy and don't even get me started with the hair. I immediately know they were fighting and judging by where Paulo is, I think he intervened but not to stop the fight. The idiot is always

My back hurts like hell. Fuck, Paulo has a heavy hand, heavier than Padre's. I can't believe De Luca humiliated me like that. I wouldn't have minded if De Luca was the one who dealt with the punishment. After all, it was my fault his accountant died, and he lost a lot of money. I'm glad he didn't put a bullet in my head, but to let Marianna and her henchman do this? I'm furious with him. So mad that I could kill him, but I won't. He's gotten on the wrong train by siding with that psycho. She's unstable. Eventually, he'll find out just how wrong his choice was. When Padre sent me here, I thought I could persuade De Luca to help me take him down, but it looks like I arrived a little late. That motherfucker is already under Marianna's spell. It doesn't matter what I do now, there's no way he'll pick me over her. I could try seducing him, but it would be a waste of time. He might end up using me instead of the other way around. I can't risk being a pawn in this game. Pawns get easily dis

A few day's rest is exactly what I needed. Paulo still hasn't found out who poisoned my food. It wasn't exactly poison though. The doctor said it was an illegal drug normally sold on the black market. A small amount, like the one I was subjected to, was harmless and would only make me puke my guts out. If they'd used more, it would have led to organ failure and I would have died. It's funny how the culprit knew the right amount. De Luca won't bother investigating because I'm fine and he has too much on his plate. The ass. I have a feeling this has something to do with Carina but I haven't done anything about it. She thinks she's too clever. Ever since we were young, she thought she was more clever than me even though I've shown her time and again that she can't beat me. If I find out she was behind this I will definitely give her a taste of her own medicine. Getting out of bed I move to stand in front of the closet mirror and look at myself. Although I feel better today, I don't look

Trigger Warning : Attempted sexual assault. I feel dizzy and my body has frozen. This isn't happening. Not now. All these years I feared Padre would do this. Force me to be with some asshole just to make a point. It was the reason I slept with Paulo. Somehow I wanted to be in control of at least one thing in my life. Who I gave my virginity to mattered. I didn't want one of Padre's guys to take it forcefully because there was no way I would ever be with anyone who worked for him. When he found out -I don't know how he did- he raised hell, but it was already done. There was nothing he could do about it. And with that stupid thought came the realization that he could never hurt me that way. How wrong I'd been. Now as I'm standing here while this guy rips my dress, it occurs to me how I was delusional. There are so many ways this man could hurt me and not just physically. The world might know me as his daughter but he doesn't give a crap about that. What father out there sits in a corn

I'm coming out of the kitchen with a beer when Carina comes back. She looks happy and is smiling, an expression I haven't seen on her face for a while. I'm thinking I made a good call by letting them go out. Is it a wonder they're always fighting? They've been cooped up in this house for weeks, throwing glares at each other. Maybe unwinding and coming back with hangovers will give me one day of peace. "Hey," she says surprising me. After letting Paulo punish her for the whole Fausto incident, she's been ignoring me. I wonder why she decided to talk to me again. "Where's Marianna?" "Still partying. I think she needs to dance off her bad attitude. Don't you?" The thought of her grinding on some guy all night doesn't sit well with me but then again I have better things to do. Carina is right about Marianna letting loose. When she left earlier I got the feeling she was scared. I've been living with her for a month and I think I'm starting to understand the mystery that is Marianna
