All Chapters of She Made Way for His Lover, but He Wants a Do-Over: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

On the night marking five years of marriage, Dante Valenti, the Don of the Valenti family, once again became a target of his enemies.Silvia Serra, acting as the Donna, stayed behind to secure his retreat. She eliminated the group of soldati alone and withdrew only after taking a wound.The heavy smell of gunpowder and blood still hung in the air.She opened the door to see Dante on the couch with his lover, Lucia Pellini. They were locked in a deep kiss, lips and tongues entwined in a way that left no room for doubt.The cold violence surrounding Silvia disturbed the stillness of the room. Lucia immediately drew back into Dante's embrace. Her lips were wet, and she looked toward Silvia with a timid, shaken expression."Silvia, mi dispiace. My hypoglycemia hit. I couldn't swallow by myself. Dante was only helping me…"Dante remained seated. As the Don of the family, he was accustomed to being in command. He rested a hand on the back of the couch and studied Silvia calmly."What

Rivoria's headlines were wall-to-wall with Lucia's name.Dante had rented out the largest art museum for her solo exhibition. Every major faction showed up.Silvia was there, too. As Dante's wife, she wore a black suit meant for a fight, with an earpiece tucked in, and disappeared into a corner.It was Dante's order."Everyone here tonight runs a family. Too many eyes, too many risks. A gown would slow you down. Lucia's the focus. You handle the perimeter and keep anyone unwanted from getting near her."Silvia stood behind a column and watched him take Lucia's arm beneath the lights.Lucia wore a shimmering mermaid gown. Around her neck hung the Heart of the Sea, the necklace that should've been Silvia's, the blue diamond throwing off a cold gleam that spoke the language of power.Voices murmured all around them."Don Valenti really dotes on Ms. Pellini. He even gave her a diamond necklace like that!""Where's Donna Valenti? Why hasn't she appeared?""Keep it down! What Donna

That day marked the anniversary of Rosetta's death. She was Silvia's mother and also the person who saved Dante's life.Years ago, she shielded him from a car crash explosion that would've killed him outright. Without her, the man known as the Don wouldn't exist.On that day every year, regardless of where his arms business took him, he cleared his schedule. He wore a dark, formal suit and accompanied Silvia to the cemetery, where they knelt in silence.Dante had spoken of it plainly. His biological mother died in childbirth. Rosetta, his nanny, raised him as her own and gave him the care he'd otherwise never known. She later died protecting him.That exchange of lives became a burden he carried with him always, and he'd never dare forget it.By 6:00 am, Silvia was already kneeling before the grave. She remained there through the slow hours, from early light to noon, until dusk settled in.Cold had worked its way into her bones. Rain weighed down the bandage, soaked through and p

Silvia never thought she'd cross paths with Lucia while she was fleeing."Silvia! Help me!"Lucia's conspicuous appearance drew masked attackers.Silvia reacted without thinking, stepping in to protect the woman Dante held closest. She was forced into a fight before she dropped when a gun butt struck the back of her head.She woke up in a freezer. Her wrists were bound behind her. The surgical gown she wore offered no protection against the -4°F.Her teeth rattled. Frost gathered along her lashes. Pain bloomed in her lower abdomen, steady and alarming, a warning from the life inside her.Lucia sat next to her in a heavy down jacket, cradling a cup of hot coffee for warmth."You… planned this?"Lucia turned to her. "I did. And what about it? Dante pressured you into the test, but he was wavering. I couldn't let a risk sit there. How long do you think that bastard can survive inside you?"Silvia breathed out a cloud of white. "You're insane! That's his child!"Lucia let out a s

Heavy rain poured down as the windshield wipers swept at full speed.Lucia was still shaking from the scare, yet she managed a soft reminder. "Is Silvia really going to be okay? There was such a big fire. And those thugs…"Dante kept his eyes closed and didn't respond with so much as a glance. "She'd killed wolves with her bare hands on the snowfields when she was 15 years old."She trained her breath-holding by staying in deep water for five full minutes. This kind of cold wouldn't kill her, and neither would a few second-rate thugs."Silvia wasn't fragile like ordinary women. As long as she was alive, she'd get back on her feet and return to him, ready to protect him again.The convoy entered Valenti Estate, the gates opening to either side.A medical team was already standing by. Lucia was taken into a temperature-controlled treatment room for comprehensive psychological intervention and physical exams.Dante headed straight for the study, where the desk was stacked with weap
