All Chapters of Traded to the Don: Now I Rule as Donna: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

I lay in the ICU with various tubes in my nose and mouth, my face bandaged, and my four limbs in casts. I wanted to hurl, but I couldn't move. Every second felt like torture."How is she, doctor?"Just as I thought I couldn't hold on any longer, I finally heard Frank's voice outside the door."She's in pretty rough shape, the worst of her injuries being the comminuted fractures she sustained in several places—""No, I don't want to hear about that! What I want to know is if her face will recover!" Frank cut the doctor off anxiously.At his question, the solace that had barely settled in my heart was eclipsed by doubt.I'd been caught in the blast when I tried to save him from an explosion earlier, the shockwave sending me flying. I got away with multiple fractures and internal bleeding.It was bad enough that Frank had called me "Isabella" in the ambulance instead of my given name, Selena, but now, he took it up a notch by fussing over my cut-up face rather than the worst of my

Without answering, Frank tossed me onto the bed.I couldn't fight back properly with my wrists bound, and my newly recovered calves had little to no strength in them.Before I knew it, Frank hovered over me and roughly tore off my shirt, dipping his head to sweep the tip of his tongue over my mounds. His hand trailed southward of my body and began to tease me.He was all too familiar with how to please my body. It didn't take long for primal desires to overwhelm the voice of reason in my head. As much as I resented his touch, I was so wet that I dampened the sheets beneath me."Why are you doing this to me when you already have Isabella?" I seethed."Shut up!" Frank growled."Does the sound of my voice turn you on even though I'm just a cheap double? Why don't you go to Isabella, then?"Fuming, Frank flipped me over and entered me from behind. He clutched my waist, his fingers digging into my skin as he thrust into me like a maniac until I couldn't form a coherent sentence.Whe

"What's going on? Do you know each other?" Nancy asked in surprise."Mom, I'll explain later." Dexter gave Nancy's shoulder a comforting squeeze before chasing after me. He demanded anxiously, "Selena, where are you going looking like that?"I wondered begrudgingly if Newborough was smaller than I expected and how I managed to run into someone who happened to know my past. I snapped at him, "Dexter, are you going to take me to see Frank?"Dexter froze, then explained gently, "I'm a doctor, Selena. All I want is to treat your injuries.""You know who I am, yet you'll let me into your home in my current state, no questions asked?" I pressed."You're my mother's guest, and that's enough reason for me."Dexter's answer was sincere. Could I simply be overreacting?"Has he hurt you before as well, child?" Nancy prompted, frowning as she came over."No, Nancy. He's the only person who's ever saved me. Literally," I replied.I gazed at the drizzle pouring from the night sky. As I wa

George's villa was tucked away on an island. It was a last-century building surrounded by the ocean.The butler ferried me to the island in a speedboat, after which I waited for George's private jet to land.The cabin door of the jet opened to reveal an old gentleman in a woollen turtleneck. He came out with a cane, his elegance reminding me of my college professor.Unlike Frank, who wore his malice on his sleeve, the Don had an amiable air about him."I came here as soon as I got your text. Forgive me for not changing out of these clothes," he said warmly after getting off the plane. His friendly tone eased the knots in my stomach.He took off his shades and eyed me sympathetically. "Did they do that to your face? The Luccasio family would never do this to women!""It's a long story." I shrugged in resignation."In that case, you can fill me in on the details once we're inside. After all, the sea breeze is terrible for your scars."Just like that, I followed George to his livi

Frank clearly hadn't realized the gravity of the situation. He stormed toward me, only to be stopped by George's men.I walked up to him and mused softly, "I bet you didn't think you'd end up losing to me, huh, Frank?"I handed the second folder to George. "I suggest you mentally prepare yourself for what you're about to see in this folder, George."When he took the folder entitled "Investigation Report on Andrew's Accident", his blue eyes, faded with age, flickered.After he finished reading the entire report, he immediately grabbed Frank by the collar and dragged him forward, seething, "You never even had a full meal before I saved you and brought you home at the age of seven! How could you do something like this?"Frank snorted. "Because you only ever cared about Andrew, even though I've done so much for you! You said the family needed a wolf, so why would you make a sheep your heir?"George staggered back at this, his eyes flickering without focusing. I knew the old Don was s
