All Chapters of The Don's Good Girl Was Reborn: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

With my mangled hands exposed to the air, waves of burning pain drilled into the bone.My eyes reddened, and I lowered my head to explain."While I was cleaning this morning, I knocked over some corrosive cleaner. I didn't want to frighten Miss Moretti, so I kept my hands behind my back."This was the fallback I had prepared long ago, after my rebirth.I had kept a small vial of corrosive solution hidden on me. The moment Bianca demanded a massage, I knew something was wrong, and behind my back, I crushed the vial in my grip.The searing pain spread from my palms through my whole body. I clamped my teeth down and showed nothing.Rossi's gaze fell on my ruined hands. In his usually cold, unfeeling eyes, something like pity flickered and vanished.The next moment, his brow furrowed hard."Your hands are ruined and you're still parading around the house? Are you trying to scare Bianca?"With that, he turned to shield Bianca and gently covered her eyes with his hand."Don't look. It's filt

Bianca's raised hand froze in midair, shock congealed on her face.The exact same astonishment was written all over Rossi's face.My steady voice cut clearly across the banquet hall, and gaze after gaze stabbed into me.Rossi's face turned iron-gray. He turned his head and gave a low, harsh order to the servant beside him."Get Dr. Ettore Greco. Now. Have him examine her right here."My fingers laced tightly together on their own, nails digging into my palms.The servant hurried off. A few minutes later, the man he brought back was not Dr. Greco, the family's resident physician.Rossi's gaze went cold, and his brow twisted hard, his tone openly wary."Why are you here? Where's Dr. Greco?"The doctor inclined his head respectfully, his expression even."Don Rossi, Dr. Greco developed severe stomach pain this morning and is confined to bed. He couldn't take his post. I've been the doctor on call for the gala all evening."When I recognized the doctor's face, the tension inside me abruptl

Rossi saw me step forward, and his whole body went rigid.I held his stare, my voice level."I fought through bloodshed at your side to secure your position as Don, and you used me as a pawn. Did you really think I had never taken a single precaution against you?"The shock in Rossi's eyes drained away as my words landed. Understanding hit him all at once.He froze for a full two seconds, then stared at me like he wanted to tear me apart alive.The bodyguard posted at my side lunged forward to seize me on the spot.But Solano had come prepared.The muscle he had hidden among the churchgoers surged out in an instant, walling off the bodyguards.Several agents moved in and boxed Rossi in at the center.Rossi's hand rose slightly at his side, signaling his guards to stand down.He did not struggle. He let the FBI agents take hold of his arms.As he passed me, however, he paused for a fraction of a second and turned his head to look at me.That one look held too much. Suspicion, fury, and

The fluorescent lights of the prison visiting room were a harsh, deathly white.Rossi sat across from me. A few days had weathered him. Stubble shadowed his jaw, and a new gauntness sat around his eyes, but none of it could blunt the sharpness in his gaze.He stared at me hard, a fanatical smile tilting his mouth."And here I never knew how much you were capable of hiding."I've had it checked. You were never pregnant at all. I should have seen it long ago. You're an untamed little leopard who's been playing the docile fool right in front of me."I kept my eyes lowered and said nothing.At my silence, Rossi leaned forward, the excitement in his eyes burning hotter."Good. Very good. When I get out, a fight with someone as ruthless as you will finally be worth having."I finally raised my eyes, my voice flat."There's something I think you should know."I slowly drew a yellowed medical certificate from my pocket, its corners worn soft.It was a hospital report issued years earlier, afte

All his life, Rossi had been suspicious and meticulous, calculating every move. The one exception, the one person he gave his whole heart to, was Bianca.But his beloved Bianca had never loved him. Even the child wasn't his.Rossi had always prided himself on controlling everyone around him. When he learned that he had been living inside someone else's lie all along, hatred finally swept away the last of his reason.In an instant, all his love for Bianca twisted into boundless hatred for Galati.He mobilized the last hidden forces he had left from inside prison and, heedless of everything, had a full ton of TNT buried along the route Galati traveled every day.When his closest lieutenant learned that Rossi meant to bomb Galati, he tried desperately to stop him."Don Rossi, you can't do this! A high-explosive attack on a public road is a major federal offense. We can't erase the evidence in time. We still have a way out now, but once we do this, there will be no coming back!"But by the
