Don In Italian

“You’re mine now,” Nero’s voice was low, rough velvet that sent chills down her spine. “No one touches what’s mine. No one even thinks about touching what he can't afford- his life.” A flicker of heat curled through Amara’s body despite herself. “Don’t kid yourself ” she shot back. “This marriage exists only because of our children.” He gave a short, dangerous laugh. “Is that what you tell yourself to sleep at night whenever I hear you orgasm at the thought of me every night?” ~~~~~~~~~` Two years earlier, Amara had spent a single reckless night with Nero De Santoro — the man whispered about as the most ruthless crime lord in Italy. That night left her with more than regret; it left her with his twins Determined to keep her children safe from his violent world, she vanished without a trace, raising her daughter in the shadows. But when her children fell dangerously ill, Amara’s desperate search for help forced her to face the one man she swore she’d never see again. Nero was stunned to learn he had a daughter — and cruelly clear about his terms. If Amara wanted his support, she would have to marry him. What began as a cold-blooded arrangement soon twisted into something neither could control. Amara expected to despise him, but behind the walls of his power, she glimpsed pieces of a man she didn’t recognize — protective, haunted, almost tender. Every argument, every stolen glance, every night they shared blurred the line between hate and hunger. Until Amara uncovered a devastating secret — a connection between Nero De Santoro, her husband, and the tragedy that had destroyed her family years ago. A tragedy that had made her turn her back on her Mafia bloodline..........

Cinco anos depois de me casar com o Don, Ives Moretti, ele me deixou para morrer durante um tiroteio para garantir a segurança da amante dele, Isabella. Acordei três dias depois, em um quarto de hospital particular. Nenhum pedido de desculpas. Ives foi frio. — Você é minha esposa. Sabia dos riscos. Pare de fazer drama. Então ele acrescentou: — A Isabella é diferente. Ela é frágil. Precisava de mim. Depois disso vieram três meses de silêncio absoluto. Como sempre, ele esperava que eu cedesse primeiro, que voltasse rastejando, implorando por perdão. Três meses depois, entreguei o acordo com os irlandeses de bandeja para Isabella. O grande negócio em que eu havia trabalhado sozinha por meio ano. Ives achou que era uma oferta de paz. Ele sorriu, algo raro e genuíno nos últimos tempos. — Eu sabia que você acabaria cedendo. Como recompensa, vamos para Vegas. Sei que você sempre quis ir. No dia seguinte, Isabella falou que estava entediada e ele quebrou a promessa. Levou ela para Vegas no meu lugar. Disse que era — assunto urgente de família. Dessa vez, eu não chorei. Não fiz escândalo. Ives ficou satisfeito ao ver como eu estava sendo compreensiva. Ele não fazia ideia de que eu já estava cortando todos os laços com a família Moretti. Nem que ele já tinha assinado os papéis do divórcio. Eu estava livre.

Après le départ de ma petite sœur à l'étranger, j'ai épousé le Don de la mafia à sa place. Cinq ans après notre mariage, nous sommes devenus les plus grands ennemis l'un de l'autre. Il me détestait pour avoir chassé ma sœur et avoir manigancé mon mariage avec lui. Je le détestais pour m'avoir toujours traitée comme une remplaçante, sans jamais me reconnaître devant le monde entier. Mon manque de statut social humiliait mes parents vaniteux, et à partir de ce moment-là, leur amour pour moi s'est transformé en haine. Finalement, lui et mes parents m'ont abandonnée dans une montagne enneigée alors qu'ils fêtaient Noël avec ma sœur. Dans le froid intense, je suis morte avec mon enfant à naître. Pendant ce temps, ma sœur baignait dans l'amour de tous et passait le Noël le plus heureux de sa vie. Lorsque j'ai rouvert les yeux, je me suis retrouvée le jour où ma sœur est revenue de l'étranger. Cette fois-ci, je n'allais plus supplier Gideon ni mes parents de m'aimer.

My fiancé of three years, Julius, sold me. To a black market auction in Vegas. I was sold to another man for five million dollars. Julius was begging me. "I owe five million," he pleaded. "If I don't pay up, they're gonna dump me in the river." "You're a dead ringer for the Don of the Norling family's late wife. All you have to do is keep him happy, and my debt gets wiped clean." "Don't worry," he said. "When he gets tired of you, I won't think any less of you. We'll still get married." So they drugged me and delivered me to an estate that was all too familiar. But here’s what he didn't know. The Don of the Norling family would kill for his daughter. And I'm that daughter. The one he’s kept hidden all these years.

Before the day of my husband's succession as the Don, my stepsister personally tattooed the "Inverted Angel's Eye"—the mark of a traitor—onto my back. My husband didn't just turn a blind eye; when the family vendetta broke out, he withdrew all the elite guards to protect my "pregnant" stepsister, leaving me alone in a defenseless city to face the slaughter.  "Elena, you are strong enough to protect yourself. But Sophia is fragile, and she is carrying my firstborn. She needs the protection more than you." Facing a siege of heavy firepower, I survived by the skin of my teeth. He thought I would swallow the insult for the sake of the family's reputation. He didn't expect that I would kick open the doors of his coronation ceremony wearing mourning weeds, flanked by the FBI and the Commission, and personally strip him of his title. "Goodbye, Lorenzo. This time, I choose to be the Don."

Cinco años después de mi matrimonio con el Don, Ives Moretti, me dejó a mi suerte para morir durante un tiroteo, todo para poner a salvo a su amante, Isabella. Desperté tres días después en la habitación de un hospital privado. Sin disculpas. Ives se mostró frío. —Eres mi esposa. Conocías los riesgos. Deja de ser tan dramática —luego, añadió—: Isabella es diferente. Es frágil. Ella me necesitaba. A aquello le siguieron tres meses de la ley del hielo. Como siempre, él esperaba que yo fuera la que cediera, la que regresara gateando suplicando perdón. Tres meses después, le entregué el trato con los irlandeses a Isabella en bandeja de plata. El gran negocio que yo misma había pasado medio año construyendo. Ives pensó que era una ofrenda de paz. Sonrió, algo raro y genuino en él estos días. —Sabía que entrarías en razón. Como recompensa, iremos a Las Vegas. Sé que siempre has querido ir. Al día siguiente, Isabella se quejó de estar aburrida y él rompió su promesa. Se la llevó a ella a Las Vegas en su lugar. Me dijo que era un "asunto familiar urgente". Esta vez, no lloré. No hice una escena. Ives estaba complacido de que yo fuera tan comprensiva. No tenía idea de que yo ya estaba cortando todos los lazos con la familia Moretti. Que él ya había firmado los papeles del divorcio sin saberlo. Yo era libre.

I was on my way to pick up my son from school when I got a call from his teacher. “Mrs. Corleone, you don’t need to come. Your husband — the one who’s been missing for five years — just picked up your son from school.” My chest tightened with unease, and I quickly corrected her. “Teacher, you must be mistaken. My boy's dad in Sicily on business. Where is this ‘other husband’ coming from?” After a short pause on the phone, the teacher spoke again. “Mr. Corleone said you don’t have to lie. He said he won’t kick you out of the Corleone family, since you gave him a son after you ran away from the wedding.” “You only have to give your position as his wife to the woman who saved his life.” I rolled my eyes. Deliberately raising my voice, I sent a voice message to his uncle. “Darling, come home immediately! Your nephew is back and trying to take our son!” Then I heard a crash on the other end.

Three days before our wedding, my fiancé, Raphael Russo, was killed in a gang shootout. They didn't even find a body. As I was drowning in grief, comments suddenly flashed before my eyes: 【Wake up, girl! the coffin's empty! He faked his death! The scumbag ran off to be with that scheming bitch chloe, the one pretending to be sick!】 【While you're crying your eyes out at the funeral, Raphael is fucking Chloe’s brains out in a hotel bed.】 【When he comes back, he'll claim he has amnesia. You won't know a thing and you'll forgive him. You poor thing…】 A month later, news of my marriage to Mafia Don Marcello Falcone spread through New York. Raphael’s right-hand man cornered me, furious. “How could you betray the Boss?” I tightened my grip on Marcello’s arm and smiled. “A girl can’t mourn forever, can she? I’m sure Raphael, in spirit, would be happy for me.”

On the day the real heiress was welcomed home, my fiancé was already sleeping with her. Staring at the blue pills and torn lingerie scattered on the floor, I told them to get the hell out of my wedding house. But a second later, my father stormed in and slapped me hard across the face. "Who are you to tell her to leave? Bella is our real daughter!" "Elena, you’re just an outsider we took in by mistake. You’re the one who needs to get out." Marco wrapped his arm around Bella, his tone impatient: "Elena, I’m the heir to the Moretti family. I can’t marry a mongrel with impure blood like you. If you don't want to bring shame to the family, be smart and go tell the Don the wedding is off tomorrow." Bella gave a coy smile and tossed a stack of cash at my feet like she was giving alms: "Sister, I know Marco and I hurt you, but we’re true love." "Take this as your severance package. Take the money and get lost." I suppressed my rage and stepped forward to throw these disgusting people out, but Marco shoved me violently. "I told you, I’m not marrying you! Keep pestering us, and don't blame me for getting rough!" My stomach slammed against the table. I laughed out of pure anger. Who said I wanted to marry him? The one I’m going to marry is his father—the Don of the Moretti family, Lorenzo.
