The Donna’s Return
Rumors said Fabrizio Medici, Don of the Medicis, was ruthless in everything he did.
Yet he was nothing but devoted to me, his mother, as if I were his lifeline.
Ten years ago, my husband, Victor Medici, betrayed us all. He conspired with foreign enemies, abducted Fabrizio, and staged a coup from within.
To save my child, I blew up a car, destroying my leg and face, and erased myself from the world by faking my own death.
Fabrizio hardened and lay low. Ten years later, he wiped out our enemies, killed Victor with his own hands, and reclaimed everything that had been stolen from him. Afterward, he spent a fortune rebuilding my body, piece by piece.
But when I returned to the country under a new identity to attend Fabrizio's engagement party, his fiancée, Giovanna Valery, mistook me for a hidden mistress.
She stormed in with her friends and humiliated me in every possible way.
By the time Fabrizio finally arrived, I was covered in blood.
Giovanna pointed at me, her voice shrill as she screamed, "No wonder I never see you messing around. So this is your type? Older women?"
