The Don Betrayed Me, I Took His Empire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 8

I knew the woman in white. Her name was Vera Fontaine.Three months ago, she was the one who had brought a drunk Damian home.I confronted him about it.Damian pulled me into a tight embrace and laughed, brash as ever."My darling Velia, are you jealous?"I stared at him coldly and said nothing.His warm kisses trailed along the corner of my mouth as he explained, earnest and innocent."She was just a waitress at the party. She only came to return the jacket I left behind."You know I've never been attracted to a delicate, helpless girl. Only a fierce lioness like you could ever be my equal."And now, Damian held a blushing Vera in his arms and made his announcement to the room."Vera is the purest, kindest woman I've ever known, and she will be the mother of my future heir."They kissed again amid cheers and applause.Damian had insisted that, for my safety, we keep our relationship secret until he became the Don.So no one in the room could have guessed that just this morning, he had

The celebration didn't end until well past midnight.Early the next morning, the housekeeper knocked on my bedroom door.She looked deeply uneasy, choosing her words with care."Ms. Marchetti, Mrs. Corsetti says she has no appetite. She'll only eat breakfast if you make it yourself."I could hardly believe my ears. I frowned."What did you just say?"The housekeeper knew Damian and I had lived together for years, that we'd been only a marriage license short of husband and wife.But Vera was also the woman Damian had publicly acknowledged as his wife.She couldn't offend either of us.Her face turned deathly pale."It wasn't my idea," she said hurriedly. "Before the Don left this morning, he said Mrs. Corsetti is pregnant. From now on, everyone in the house takes orders from her."Vera was already pregnant.No wonder Vincent and Kellen had changed sides so quickly.I had no intention of making things hard for the housekeeper. Taking a deep breath, I forced down my anger and headed downs

Damian looked into my icy eyes.Then, to my astonishment, he suddenly smiled."Sweetheart, did you do this out of jealousy? I thought you didn't even care."Calmly regaining his composure, he reached out as if to caress my cheek.The female agent beside us reacted instantly, stepping between us."Mr. Corsetti, you are not allowed to have any physical contact with the witness."Damian withdrew his hand with a hint of regret, his eyes never leaving mine."Velia, I told you before. Once Vera was pregnant, you'd still be the woman I love. Why did you have to take it this far?"All right. I'll forgive this little tantrum of yours. Now go to the police station and tell them this was nothing more than a jealous lover acting on impulse."I narrowed my eyes and scoffed."I underestimated how shameless you really are. I hope you're still this relaxed when the verdict is handed down."The smile vanished from Damian's face. His expression became so dark and menacing that the room seemed to grow co

I made sure Damian received a copy of Hector's confession while he was in prison.In the video, Hector admitted that he and Vera had been lovers.He explained in detail how he had forged Vera's ultrasound images and medical records documenting a miscarriage.And the first night Vera slept with Damian, he hadn't been drunk at all. He'd been drugged.Word was that Damian nearly destroyed his cell in a blind rage. It took four correctional officers to hold him down.Elias set breakfast in front of me, openly gloating at Damian's misfortune."Damian has always been proud and arrogant. Finding out a woman played him this whole time probably hurts worse than a bullet."I took a bite of toast. Elias immediately lifted my glass of milk and held it to my lips.I took a sip of the warm milk before answering."This is just the beginning. What comes next will hurt him far more."Vera had never been anything more than Damian's mistress.News spread quickly that the Don had not only betrayed the wom
