Chord Donna Donna Mga Nobela at Kwento

In my previous life, I had married Luca Corleone, the most handsome Underboss in Cisilia. Everyone was envious of me. They all claimed that I became one of the most noble women in the country. My twin sister, Lia Rossi, went mad with jealousy. She pushed me down the stairs afterward. When I was at my weakest point due to a miscarriage, she used a pillow to smother me to death. When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day the family meeting on the upcoming marriage alliance is held. Upon returning to the lounge, I witness Lia straddling Luca, clearly engaging in physical intimacy with him. Her legs are spread widely as her body rocks with every powerful thrust. "You came far too late, Elvira." Lia pants heavily while shooting me a smug look. "I'm the woman Luca loves now. See, we're even coupling with each other. In this lifetime, I shall be the one marrying him!" Everyone looks at me, waiting for me to back off from this relationship while suffering from a mental breakdown. But I just chuckle in return. Oh, my dear Lia… All she knows is that Luca is young, handsome, and insanely wealthy. But what she doesn't know is that he has a secret room tucked away in his bedroom that's completely filled with toys and tools meant to torture women. At the same time, he also plans to share her with the rest of his subordinates.

For one year, I believed Matteo De Luca had truly fallen in love with me. Our marriage began as an alliance, but he held me every night, kissed me before council meetings, and fastened the De Luca Donna brooch at my throat as if I already belonged beside him. Then his first love, Vanessa Ashford, came back. Within days, our official ceremony was postponed, her access was added to the Donna wing, and Matteo stopped wearing the family signet he once used to claim me in public. He said it was council business. But council business did not leave amber perfume on his skin. It did not sit beside him on a private jet to Palm Beach. And it certainly did not smile from the Donna’s chair while his friends watched me lose my place. The final humiliation came at a private dinner, when someone asked whether I was Matteo’s wife. He looked at me, then said calmly, “Elena and I have an arrangement.” That night, I stopped waiting to be chosen. Matteo could keep his first love, his title, and the home he let her enter. I packed my passport, my Florence contract, and the prenatal report he had never seen. Then I left New York with his child.

For seven years, I had been the secret of Enzo Gallo, the new Don of the Gallo family. When I went to register our son Lucas's birth, I discovered Enzo had already married his sister-in-law, Camilla, and claimed her child as his own. Her child became the heir to the family, with all the privileges that entailed. My child became a shameful bastard. Years ago, after Enzo's brother died, the family elders gave Enzo one condition to become Don: he had to have an heir with his sister-in-law to secure the Gallo bloodline. That night, Enzo held me close and swore I was his only true wife. He promised that once Camilla gave birth, he would give me the wedding I deserved. But he missed Lucas's birthday the day Camilla went into labor. Instead of the wedding he promised me, all I got was the news of his marriage to his sister-in-law. My son gently wiped away my tears with his small hand: "Mamma, don't be sad. I changed my birthday wish. I don't want a Papa anymore." "I don't care about being an heir. Having you is enough." I pulled Lucas into my arms, swallowing the bitterness that rose in my throat. "Who says you aren't an heir? Baby, Mamma is taking you home. To our family." What Enzo doesn't know is that I am the only daughter of the most powerful Mafia family in Sicily. I never cared about being the Donna of the Gallo family.

I am a top-notch surgeon. But when my ex-boyfriend —— now the Don of the Blackwood family —— was brought to the hospital injured, even the head nurse advised me against taking the case. Everyone said the Dante Blackwood despised me. Because three years ago—the last time we met—I took off my engagement ring and handed it back to him, then got into the car of Dominic, the Don of Mercer family. But I still put on my white coat and walked in. Not only walked in—I pressed my hand right against his stomach without a shred of hesitation. Before the punch came, it was the killing intent in his eyes. "I told you. Touch me one more time, and I'll break every bone in your body." The interns outside the door were all holding their breath for my safety. I adjusted my gold-rimmed glasses and let out a helpless smile. But the moment I undid the buttons of his shirt, even though his mouth told me to get out, his body couldn't help but tense up.

Jamás olvidaré el frío despiadado de las aguas del Río Veyra. En mi vida pasada, yo era Darlena Valentino, la futura Donna de la familia Marcus, pero mi prometido, Reed Marcus, y mi prima Alice Bennett se aliaron para traicionarme. Me arrebataron mi lugar y se adueñaron de los recursos de mi familia. Al final, en plena guerra entre familias, me empujaron al borde de la muerte y me usaron como escudo. En el instante en que la bala me atravesó el pecho, vi a Reed protegiendo a Alice con todas sus fuerzas. Y Richard Corleone, mi amigo de la infancia, el hombre que siempre me había acompañado en silencio, perdió la razón y corrió hacia mí, abrazando mi cuerpo inerte mientras rugía de desesperación. Creí que aquello era un amor que había llegado demasiado tarde. Por eso, después de renacer, eché a Reed de mi vida sin dudarlo y me casé con Richard, convirtiéndome en la Donna de la familia Corleone. Pensé que por fin me había salvado, pero nunca imaginé que el destino me guardaba una crueldad aún mayor. Porque esos dos hombres, en el fondo, siempre habían amado a la misma mujer. Si al final todo iba a ser así, entonces yo también me bajaría de esta farsa llamada amor.

Cuando conocí a los padres de mi novio, me enteré de que él era el heredero de la familia mafiosa más poderosa de Cecily: los Edison. Las reglas de su familia eran claras: para convertirse en la Donna de la familia, había que tener al menos cinco millones de dólares a su nombre. Por eso pasé años ahorrando hasta el último centavo y dejándome la piel en el sector inmobiliario. Después de muchísimo esfuerzo, por fin logré reunir cuatro millones de dólares. Pero luego la empresa empezó a tambalearse una y otra vez, y hasta los contratos que ya tenía cerrados se vinieron abajo. Por más que lo intenté, jamás pude completar el millón que me faltaba. Fred Edison me abrazó con ternura y me dijo que encontraría la manera de ayudarme a reunirlo. Pero cuando Lilian Kutcher, mi hermana, sufrió de repente un problema cardíaco y necesitaba una suma enorme para salvarle la vida, intenté pagar con tres tarjetas seguidas y en las tres apareció el mismo aviso: saldo insuficiente. Entré en pánico y corrí al banco a preguntar qué estaba pasando. ¿Cómo era posible? ¡En esa cuenta estaban los cuatro millones de dólares que había ahorrado con tanto esfuerzo! El encargado bajó la mirada, con la culpa pintada en el rostro. —Sí, hubo un movimiento de cuatro millones de dólares. El señor Edison usó ese dinero para comprarle una villa a Rea Mellon como regalo porque acababa de cumplir la mayoría de edad

Ich wachte auf und war wieder 28 Jahre alt. Ich hatte Santino zwei Erben geboren, Zwillinge. Und mein Mann war Santino Genovese, der gefürchtetste Don der Mafia in Veridia. Er stand an der Spitze der Kommission der Fünf Familien. Sein markantes Profil prangte über mehrere Ausgaben hinweg auf dem Cover des exklusivsten Magazins der Unterwelt. Sogar die ältesten valerianischen Familien standen Schlange, um ihm ihre Töchter anzubieten. Alle Frauen in Altoria beneideten mich um mein Glück. Doch das Erste, was ich nach dem Aufwachen tat, war, die Scheidungspapiere zu nehmen. Die Tinte darauf war noch nicht einmal ganz trocken. Dann legte ich sie Jessy hin, seiner Jugendliebe. „Mein Anwalt kümmert sich um die Scheidung. Die Immobilien und das Vermögen gehören dir. Santino gehört dir. Die Kinder auch.“ Jessy saß mir gegenüber und konnte es nicht fassen. Ihre Augen waren vor Schock weit aufgerissen. „Bist du verrückt, Alessia? Ist das irgendein Trick?“ „Wie kann eine Frau, die seit sechs Jahren Donna ist, das alles so einfach aufgeben?“ Ich senkte den Blick. Meine Stimme blieb ruhig. „Da ohnehin alle dich bevorzugen, fand ich, dass es Zeit war, Platz zu machen.“ „Lass Santino einfach unterschreiben und seinen Siegelring in das Wachs drücken.“ „Sobald die Scheidung rechtskräftig ist, werde ich Veridia für immer verlassen.“ Diesmal würde ich nicht noch einmal denselben Fehler machen. Ich würde nie wieder eine Donna nur im Namen sein.

Cuando tenía tres meses de embarazo, la supuesta hermanastra de mi esposo, el Don, apareció en mi puerta. Ruby tenía un vientre abultado que era imposible de ignorar. —Donna, ya que mi fecha de parto está tan cerca, pensé que deberías saberlo... el heredero del Don está en mi vientre. Ella puso todo frente a mí: fotos íntimas de ella y Caleb, registros de las transferencias de dinero semanales que él le enviaba, incluso la escritura de una mansión. Las fechas más antiguas se remontaban a la época en que perdí a nuestro primer bebé, cuando los médicos me dijeron que sería difícil para mí volver a concebir. Todos estos años, yo había estado soportando tratamientos de fecundación in vitro, intentando desesperadamente gestar a nuestro hijo una vez más... mientras él se divertía con su supuesta hermanastra. Bueno, si Caleb quería tanto a otra mujer, podía quedarse con ella. De todos modos, no tenía intención de quedarme. Ya estaba planeando mi partida.

When I was 18 years old, Luigi Conti, the craziest heir of the Conti family, pulled out a gun at an auction and executed the Don of the Serra family. That man happened to be my foster father, also the one who had me auctioned away as though I were a slave. When he was being dragged toward the armored car by the military police, he kept laughing like mad despite having blood streaking down his face. "Why must I atone for my sins? Since God refuses to save you, let me be your savior! From now on, no one in Sandalay has the guts to clip your wings anymore, my darling Isabella!" Seven years later, Luigi gets released from prison. He looks at me as I wash dishes for a living in the slums before snuffing out the cigar trapped between his fingers. That night, Luigi returns to his family and steals the position of the Don. After we get married, I'm the only person who has the highest access over the vaults under the Conti family. Luigi even forcibly expands the ring that signifies ultimate authority—which has been passed down from generation to generation for a century—and slides it onto my ring finger. He buys half of Sandalay's estates just so he can fill the vineyards with the white grapes I've mentioned in passing. He tells me that his turf is called Isabella. But everything changes when I discover a photo album stashed in a hidden compartment in Luigi's study. All 2,000 photos feature a young woman in a white dress who is reading in the library. That is the female assassin he's planning on training. The woman looks very pure and innocent. She's most suited to conquer certain bigwigs' hearts. But now, it seems that Luigi's the one being conquered by her. When Luigi finds out about my discovery, he throws the photo album into the fireplace and watches it burn in the fire with a stony expression. "I'm just repackaging her so that she can aid me in money laundering. Just pretend you never saw the photo album." I push the signed divorce agreement over to Luigi. "I said, sign the agreement." Frustrated, Luigi pins the divorce agreement on the table with a knife, his expression insanely dark. "Isabella Serra, have you forgotten about the Conti family's rules? There's no such thing as divorce. We can only be widowed."

Na minha vida passada, minha irmã Serena Vega fugiu para Mônaco na noite anterior ao casamento, e antes do amanhecer minha família me empurrou para dentro do vestido dela. Damian Lucchese, o jovem Don de Nova York, estava esperando por ela no altar. No instante em que levantou meu véu e viu que era eu, o calor em seus olhos se transformou em frieza. Por cinco anos, fui sua esposa escondida. O submundo sabia que ele era casado, mas ninguém sabia com quem. Meus pais me culpavam por ter roubado o lugar de Serena e, ainda assim, falhado em conquistar o coração dele. Então Serena voltou. Naquele Natal, Damian levou ela e meus pais para sua propriedade nas montanhas. Quando uma nevasca atingiu o local, seus homens apressaram todos para o helicóptero. Ninguém se lembrou de mim. Morri naquela casa congelada, grávida de três meses do filho de Damian. Quando abri os olhos novamente, Serena havia acabado de retornar para Nova York. Desta vez, eu não imploraria por amor. E quando eu realmente fosse embora, nenhum deles teria o direito de se arrepender.
