บททั้งหมดของ I'm the Donna, but My Ex Thinks I'm a Stripper: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Before my husband, Vincenzo Rossi, boarded his flight for an overseas arms deal, he told me he had just prepared a huge surprise and would give it to me when he returned. Exchanging surprises was a playful tradition between us, a sweet intimacy we shared.I smiled, sent Vincenzo an invitation for a date, then headed to the club. I planned to dress up as a sexy dancer to surprise him too.I had just changed into a seductive dance dress and was warming up on the pole, preparing to rehearse, when I suddenly heard a commotion at the entrance. A group of young people walked into the club, laughing and chatting."This really is the hottest, most elite club in the city. The decor is so luxurious!""If it weren't for the business connection between Cristian's family company and the Rossi family, we wouldn't have been able to get a reservation at all! Tatiana, you're so lucky! Cristian spent so much money and put in so much effort to celebrate your birthday!"Hearing those names, I instinc

With Cristian's approval, everyone grew even more frenzied. Someone rushed over, shoved me to the ground, and forced my head down toward Cristian's lap.My dress slipped off my shoulders as they pushed me forward, exposing my cleavage and bare skin to Cristian, who was looking down at me."Let her go."Desire flickered in his eyes. He shoved Tatiana aside, and everyone froze.Cristian leaned down and grabbed my chin. He whispered close to my ear, his voice strained and hoarse, "I know you don't have a damn husband, Aria. Come back to me. Otherwise you'll always be nothing but a cheap bitch in heat."I stared into his eyes, gritting out each word with venom, "In your dreams!"The desire in his eyes instantly turned to rage."Continue!" His furious shout echoed through the room.They pinned me down even harder. Someone poured an entire bottle of liquor over my head, drenching my body. I screamed and struggled to get up, but Tatiana stomped down on me. Her heel ground into my face

"Who are they?""They look terrifying."Vincenzo and his men's entrance silenced the rowdy room instantly. Everyone stared at Vincenzo's gang, fear written on their faces.Tatiana recovered first and laughed knowingly. "Aria, this is ridiculous. First you lied, and now you've hired all these actors to put on a show with you? You've got some nerve!"Vincenzo didn't even glance at them. He kept his voice steady, gently stroking my hair. "Amore, don't worry. You and the baby will be fine. I'm taking you to the hospital right now.""Baby?"Cristian's face went ashen. He blocked our path, staring hard at Vincenzo's arm around me."Who the hell are you? Who gave you permission to touch her? Get your filthy hands off!"His finger jabbed right in our faces.The instant the words left his mouth, the sharp snap of bones breaking mixed with Cristian's scream tore through the room. He clutched his hand and stumbled backward, pain and shock flooding his face.Vincenzo sneered. "You're the

Arrogance spread across Riccardo's face. "Young man, I don't care what you think you know. But impersonating Don Rossi is your biggest mistake."Hurting my son is akin to slapping Don Rossi in the face! And crossing the Paleno family means crossing the Rossi family!"He held up two fingers. "I'll give you two dignified options. First, you compensate me for my losses until I'm satisfied. That amount will bankrupt you."Second, you refuse to pay and lose any place you have left in this city."Cristian's voice shook with excitement. "Did you hear that, Aria? Your husband is finished! Now crawl over here and kneel before me, and swear you'll belong to me forever. This is your last chance!"Tatiana, who'd been eavesdropping at the door, burst in, unwilling to be left out. Bruises still marked her face."Cristian! What about me? I've been sleeping with you for so long! Yesterday, I got beaten up by those actors because of you…"Cristian smiled and stroked her face."My father and I w

Third-Person POVThe Paleno family was finished.The night Riccardo received notice that all his assets were frozen, he suffered a massive stroke. He died in his study, surrounded by stacks of legal documents.Cristian didn't even make it to his father's funeral. He'd lured Tatiana and everyone who'd participated in tormenting Aria that night to a certain place. It was a lawless, chaotic hellhole where no rules applied.Neon lights buzzed overhead. The air was thick and stale.In the largest private room, Tatiana, Michela, and the others who'd bullied Aria were immediately surrounded by several large men the moment they walked in. They were stripped down to their underwear and left trembling in the center of the room.Cold steel poles stood before them. Men filled the seats around them, their eyes roaming over the women's bodies.A scarred man sat with his legs crossed, blowing smoke rings at Tatiana's face. "Dance. You ladies used to love watching this, didn't you? Tonight, y
