Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Don’s Hidden Wife: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

The line went silent for one second. Camilla's expression shifted, and she ended the call."What are you shouting for?" She looked down at me. "You hear Dante's name and think you can impersonate Mrs. Valenti? Everyone in Greyhaven knows Don Valenti has never announced a marriage. You should have done better research.""I'm not impersonating anyone. Dante is my husband, and this is his daughter."Camilla laughed. "If you're really his wife, where are your guards? Where is your wedding ring? Why doesn't a single Valenti man recognize you?"I had no answer she would believe.Dante had married me in secret three years earlier. He prohibited family media from photographing me, and after I became pregnant, he placed me in a safe house with no public connection to the Valentis. Only a handful of trusted people knew I existed. He said secrecy would protect us from rival families.Now that protection made it impossible to prove who I was.Elsewhere, Dante had begun to question what he had hear

The ambulance cut through rush-hour traffic. Blood had soaked my dress and the sheet beneath me. One paramedic checked my falling blood pressure while another held the fetal monitor against my abdomen. My daughter's heartbeat kept slowing."Call Valenti Medical. We need O-negative blood, obstetrics, anesthesia, and the neonatal intensive care team ready."I pressed a hand over my stomach. "Hold on, sweetheart. Your crib is ready. You haven't even worn your new shoes."One faint movement answered me, followed by silence.Twelve minutes later, we reached Valenti Medical. The emergency entrance stood open, but no team came to meet us. Armed family guards watched from the doors.The paramedic jumped out. "Thirty-week pregnancy, placental abruption, falling fetal heart rate. Where is the trauma team?"No one answered. Nurses hovered behind the reception desk, too frightened to approach.The paramedics found a gurney themselves and rushed me inside, only to be stopped at the surgical wing."

Dante stared at the ring. It had been made by the Valenti family's old jeweler, with our wedding date engraved inside. No duplicate existed.Three years ago, Dante had removed it from my finger and placed it on a chain. He promised that when the danger passed, he would announce our marriage and I could wear it openly.Now it rested against my bloodstained hospital gown.His gaze rose to my white face, the transfusion line in my arm, and the child wrapped in my arms. For the first time, the man who could face guns and betrayal without flinching seemed to forget how to breathe."Sienna?""Don't say my name."There were no screams left in me, only numbness deep enough to reach my bones.Dante stared at the bundle. "Who is she?"I adjusted the corner of her blanket. "Our daughter."He stopped moving."She was thirty weeks old. At today's appointment, they said she was developing beautifully. She kept moving during the ultrasound, so the technician couldn't get a clear picture. I was going

The records documented every payment between Camilla and Teresa. In exchange for the money, Teresa had shared my schedule, appointment times, and travel routes.Three minutes after Camilla sent fifty thousand dollars that morning, Teresa messaged her:Sienna's appointment ends at four. Gray dress. No bodyguard.Dante's hands shook around the printed pages."You knew who she was.""No.""Before the collision, you knew Sienna would be on that street. You recognized her when she fell in front of your car, then told me she was an enemy impostor.""I only wanted to see her," Camilla cried. "Everyone knew you were hiding a woman, but you never told me who she was. I asked Teresa for her schedule. I didn't plan the crash. I was looking at my phone and missed the light. By the time I saw her, it was too late.""So the collision was an accident," I said for her. "But once you recognized me, you deliberately kept the ambulance away."Camilla faced me. "I panicked. If Dante found out I had hit yo

"I'm your husband," Dante said, his voice unsteady. "I'm her father."The words sounded obscene now."You surrendered both roles when you locked the blood bank and operating room.""I thought it was a Marino trap. Camilla and Teresa lied to me.""They did, but they did not speak the order in your place. Camilla exploited your indulgence, and Teresa fed you false information. You decided that a hemorrhaging woman should wait. Because you believed she wasn't your wife and the dying baby wasn't your daughter, you thought there was time."He had no answer.Police escorted Camilla away after her injuries were treated. Teresa was also detained. When officers approached Dante, he did not resist. Even as they secured his wrists, his eyes remained on me."I'll cooperate and accept responsibility. But don't leave me, Sienna. When I return, we'll bury our daughter together. I'll announce our marriage and acknowledge you before the whole family. I'll end the secrecy and never hide you again. We ca
