All Chapters of The Donna: Bought, Loved, Abandoned: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"I've already hired the best specialist from Bossotini," my husband, Lorenzo Corsi, said. "As long as there's still a way—""Mr. Corsi," the doctor said, interrupting him. "Mi dispiace, but we weren't able to save the child. We also had to remove your wife's uterus to stop the bleeding."Lorenzo tightened his grip on the report.I didn't cry. Instead, I just asked the doctor for the things that were found in the wreckage. The nurse handed me a transparent bag with a scorched ultrasound photo inside.The child had only been 12 weeks old. Their face had been so tiny that it was hard to make out their features.Lorenzo had slipped the photo into the inner pocket of his coat during the banquet, telling me that he would announce the news to the entire family after the cake-cutting ceremony.Nearly half of the photo had been burned away, but his coat was still in pristine condition as it draped across Viviana Rossi's figure.Lorenzo leaned down and pulled me into his arms. "I truly be

At 10:00 am, Matteo and two security supervisors showed up at the mansion."You need to be present for the internal investigation of the attack on the estate, Mrs. Corsi," he said.An access control record was on the long table. Two hours before the explosion, someone had used my access card to open the estate's west maintenance door. That door ended up being the entry point for the attackers.Viviana sat on Lorenzo's right. Her expression immediately shifted as she said, "I saw a maid entering the maintenance door using Clara's access card that day. Clara said that she's the one who gave the maid permission to enter.""When did I ever say such a thing?" I asked, looking at her."Perhaps I'm misremembering," she said, tears welling up in her eyes. "Mi dispiace. I just wanted to help with finding clues."I took my phone out of my bag and projected a photo onto the screen in the meeting room. It had been taken at the exact time the maintenance door was unlocked. Lorenzo and I had b

"The car is ready," Matteo said, standing next to the door, offering Lorenzo a tablet. "Take a look at this first. We've already found the person in the footage."In the surveillance footage, the west maintenance door swung open to reveal a man in a gray uniform. He entered the premises while pushing his tool cart along. Viviana stood next to the door, personally letting him in with her access card.The color drained from Viviana's face. "He's a maintenance worker that I hired. I had no idea that he was involved in the attack."Lorenzo placed the tablet on the table. "You're the one who let him in, but you don't know his identity?"Viviana reached out for him, her fingers hovering next to his sleeve. "I was worried that they were going to accuse me of orchestrating the attack. You know that six people died that day. I was going to explain myself after the investigation was over. That's why I let them investigate the Donna first."No one spoke in the room.Lorenzo looked at Matteo

I agreed to show up because I wanted to finalize the following procedures as soon as possible.Lorenzo arrived half an hour earlier than the agreed time. A glass of water sat untouched before him. He rose to his feet when he noticed me, causing his chair to scrape against the floor. "You've lost weight," he said.I shrugged off my coat and sat next to Irene. "Let's begin."Lorenzo pulled out a new access card from his briefcase. Pushing it toward me, he said, "I've restored all of your access in the house. No one will ever stop you again."Irene looked at me. When I shook my head, she pushed the card back to him.Lorenzo didn't retract his hand. "I've already investigated Viviana. She lied. I shouldn't have—""You're the one who took that photo," I said, interrupting him. "You knew that I didn't let anyone in, and you knew that my card was in my bag.""I only temporarily suspended your access for safety reasons.""Then why was I the only one whose access was suspended?"Lorenz

Nora helped me move into my new home.The apartment didn't have an elevator. Fortunately, I only had to climb up half a flight of stairs. There was a maple tree outside the window.I had just placed the photo frame down when I received a call from Irene."Lorenzo wants to send a set of furniture to you. He told his lawyer to ask you first. He hasn't made any arrangements yet," she said."No need," I replied. "I've already bought everything."I looked at the newly built bed that didn't have any bedsheets yet. I grabbed my phone and snapped a picture, sending it to Irene. "Tell him that I'm not lacking anything."The next day, Irene showed up with another document.Lorenzo was willing to continue paying my medical bills even after our divorce and wanted to set up a separate fund for it. After I read through the terms, I asked Irene if the current procedures would be affected if I rejected his offer."No," she said. "You can just deal with this according to the scope that we've ve
