Don: The Chase Begins Again

　　Three years ago, at the very wedding I had meticulously prepared, my fiancé, Vito Rossi, turned the ceremony into a stage to propose to his childhood sweetheart, Isabella. 　　When I dared to confront him, he didn't offer an apology. Instead, he threw me into a subterranean dungeon. Whippings, starvation, and systematic humiliation—I nearly drew my last breath in that living hell. 　　Eventually, I chose to let them go. I walked away and married the man who sits at the absolute peak of the underworld—Lorenzo De Santis, the Godfather of the De Santis family. 　　Three years later, at the San Antonio Docks. 　　I accompanied Lorenzo for a business negotiation, but a sudden matter forced him to step away, leaving his men to receive me. I never expected to run into Vito after three years of silence. 　　Vito and his now-fiancée humiliated me in front of the crowd, even accusing me of being a spy and threatening to arrest me. 　　I turned my gaze toward my husband, who had just arrived—the man who rules the entire Mafia world. I lifted my chin and looked at him. 　　"Lorenzo," I said, my voice steady and clear. "This maniac wants to throw your wife into a dungeon again. How do you intend to handle this?"

Je suis revenue à la vie, la veille de mon mariage. La première chose que j'ai faite ? J’ai échangé mon futur mari avec celui de ma sœur. La dernière fois, j'avais épousé Julian, un magnat de la technologie au tempérament doux. Il n'avait pas supporté mon caractère fougueux, et moi, je ne supportais pas sa mollesse. Notre mariage avait sombré en moins d'un an. Ma sœur, douce et timide, devait épouser Robin Kane dans le cadre d’un mariage arrangé, le Don de la plus grande famille criminelle de New York. Elle ne supportait pas cette vie brutale et chaotique. Tourmentée par Isabella, la prétendue amoureuse d'enfance de Robin, elle était tombée dans une profonde dépression et en était morte. Alors, quand je suis revenue, j'ai pris une décision : ce serait moi qui épouserais le Don. Mais je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'après le mariage, le Don froid et impassible devienne un homme totalement différent. Chaque nuit, il était au-dessus de moi, m'embrassant comme s'il était obsédé, murmurant : « Ma belle… je vais te faire du bien. Encore une fois… juste une de plus, bébé ? »

Yo era la principal consigliere de la familia Falcone. Su cerebro. Y hoy me marchaba —entregando los libros de cada negocio legítimo que había manejado, cortando mi último vínculo. Mi protegido no podía entenderlo. —Eres el futuro de esta familia, Aurelia. No puedes simplemente irte. Sacudí la cabeza con una sonrisa amarga. No sabían. Llevaba tres años casada en secreto con el Don, Vittorio Falcone. Pensé que mi apariencia, mi inteligencia y todo lo que le di serían suficientes para ganarme todo su amor. Un ataque en los muelles tres meses atrás me mostró la verdad. Me alcanzó una bala. Era una emergencia. Necesitaba al cirujano de la familia —lo cual requería una orden directa de Vittorio. Lo llamé más de una docena de veces. Pero cuando por fin contestó, lo único que escuché fue una voz suave y sin aliento al otro lado. —Vittorio, todavía no hemos cortado mi pastel de cumpleaños. ¿Me darías la mano para cortarlo juntos? Esa voz. Mi mejor amiga. La mujer de la que Vittorio alguna vez estuvo enamorado. Carina. En la casa de seguridad, debilitada por la pérdida de sangre, me saqué la bala yo misma y le pedí a uno de mis hombres que me llevara a toda prisa a una clínica de la familia. Justo antes de que me entraran al quirófano, Vittorio irrumpió cargando a Carina. Tobillo torcido. Necesitaba un médico. Urgente. Mi cirujano fue arrastrado fuera. Los antibióticos llegaron demasiado tarde. La herida se infectó. Luché por mi vida durante una semana. Cuando desperté, miré mi teléfono fijamente. Ni un solo mensaje. Las lágrimas llegaron solas. Comprendí. Yo era simplemente la mujer con la que él se había visto obligado a casarse después de que lo drogaron y terminó acostándose conmigo. Un escándalo evitado. Lo único que le importaba era mi utilidad y su reputación. ¿Y yo? La princesa secreta de la familia Rossi, que lo sacrificó todo para construir su imperio. Todo para nada. Así que preparé cuatro regalos de despedida. Una celebración de nuestra destrucción mutua. Después de eso, jamás volvería a verme.

The stranger moved closer, closing the space between him and Anna. His hand came up, gripping her jaw and tilting her face so she had no choice but to meet his gaze. “Are you sure about this?” he asked. Anna swallowed hard, her pulse racing. “Yes,” she breathed. “I want you to fuck me so hard I forget about my dickhead of a fiancé.” **************** Anna Hawkins was never supposed to fall into the arms of a stranger. But after walking in on her fiancé having sex with her best friend, pain drove her into the dark corners of a nightclub and straight into the arms of a man with cold eyes, inked skin, and a body that could ruin her. Their night was supposed to mean nothing. But unforeseen circumstances throw Anna into a brutal world of betrayal, power, crime, and possession. She wasn’t just heartbroken anymore. She was owned. And the most dangerous part? She didn’t know how to escape from her cruel fate.

En el tercer año de mi matrimonio con Antonio Rizzo, Don de la familia Rizzo, él ya mantenía a una mujer más joven a su lado… y todos a su alrededor hacían todo lo posible para que no me enterara. Decían que yo era su primer amor, su debilidad, el tesoro que había traído desde Sicilia. Pero cuando se pasaba con la bebida, se reía frente a los suyos y lo decía sin vergüenza: —Amo a Elena… pero en la cama es un poco aburrida. Le falta… salvajismo. —Ya saben cómo somos los hombres —añadía con una sonrisa torcida—. Nos gusta algo de emoción. Como Caterina… joven, hermosa, y sabe perfectamente cómo divertirse. El chico que a los diecisiete años, había jurado en la iglesia que me amaría para siempre… ahora sostenía a una rubia joven y deslumbrante entre sus brazos, murmurándole al oído: —Mientras Elena no se entere… haz lo que te dé la gana. El día que me fui, todo parecía normal. Nadie notó nada extraño. Incluso la criada, Maria Russo, me sonrió con dulzura y preguntó: —Señora, ¿saldrá de compras? Le devolví una sonrisa leve y asentí. —No hace falta que preparen la cena esta noche. Lo que Antonio Rizzo no sabía… era que la “aburrida” Elena de la que tanto se burlaba, era hija de la familia mafiosa Santoro. Y las mujeres Santoro… nunca perdonaban una traición.

Vincenzo Costa and I have been in love with each other for eight years. Everyone knows that the heir of the Costa family loves me more than life itself. In order to marry me—an orphan—Vincenzo has knelt outside Costa Estate for three days and three nights. At the same time, he has received 99 whips from his father, the Don of the Costa family, which almost kills him. In the end, Don Edmondo Costa finally agrees to let Vincenzo marry me. But the catch is, Vincenzo must date Sofia Camorra, the Principessa of the Camorra family, and have an heir with her. So, Vincenzo tells me to wait for him for a little longer. I end up waiting for a very long time while watching him traveling to Sofia's villa time and again. At first, Vincenzo still takes three showers and scrubs his skin so much that it turns red. He tells me that once Sofia has given birth to the child, which allows him to fulfill the promise he has made to the Costa family, he'll whisk me far away from the violence and spend the rest of his life with me. Alas, everything has changed. Vincenzo no longer showers frequently. He constantly smells like Sofia's perfume now. He doesn't inform in advance whenever he goes on dates with Sofia. To make things worse, there's nothing but affection in his eyes whenever he looks at her. When Sofia burns up from a fever during her pregnancy, Vincenzo doesn't leave her side at all. She pretends to be gracious by telling him about how understanding she is about his situation. Because of that, Vincenzo wastes no time in admonishing me for being spoiled and pampered. Through the gap in the ward door, I can hear how close and intimate Vincenzo and Sofia are. At the same time, I notice the flash of provocation in Sofia's eyes. Vincenzo has made me wait year after year, not knowing that my biological parents have already found me. They want me to go home with them so that they can give me a real home. That's why this time, I won't be waiting for Vincenzo anymore.

The new Consigliere wanted to restructure the Mafia family’s affairs by sinking her claws into me. My boyfriend, who was a Mafia Don and wildly in love with me, wanted to get revenge on her for me. He planned to raise her status to the skies and make her suffer a horrific downfall when the right time came. He kicked me out of the family and gave all my responsibilities to the new Consigliere. She received luxury cars and jewelry from him as gifts, but he told me to tolerate it as part of the plot. When my younger brother's kidneys started to fail, I begged my Don boyfriend for the surgery fees, which he agreed to give me. On the day of the surgery, I waited from daylight to daybreak for the money, but nothing came. That was when I saw an Instagram post from the new Consigliere, taunting me. "My family's Don is such a wonderful man. Someone who was kicked out of the family was brazen enough to ask him for money. What if she can't repay us? I had to stop the money transfer. I hope this woman will find a better excuse the next time she tries to scam him." The mess ended with my brother dying. My Don boyfriend called me later in an attempt to cajole me. "Don't be mad. Joey can have his surgery later. I'm just tolerating Rosetta to encourage her to become full of herself. The higher she climbs, the harder she'll fall. Don't worry! Her birthday will be in a few days. I'll humiliate her, then make her lose everything. We'll have our wedding after that. That will cheer Joey up!" However, I knew that his so-called plot was the start of him falling in love with another woman. That was when I no longer wanted him.

J'étais enceinte de huit mois. J'assistais à un gala de charité avec mon mari, le Don Massimo, lorsqu'une famille rivale nous a attaqués. La foule a paniqué. On m'a violemment bousculée et je suis tombée au sol. Du sang partout. Massimo a complètement perdu la raison, criant pour appeler des médecins, désespéré de sauver mon bébé. Mais lorsque je me suis réveillée, ils avaient disparu tous les deux. Plus de bébé, plus de Massimo. Je me souvenais des coups de feu, de Massimo qui me protégeait de son corps. Une peur glaciale m'a envahie. Je me suis hissée dans un fauteuil roulant et me suis précipitée dans le couloir. C'est alors que je les ai entendus — Massimo et le médecin. « Monsieur, je suis désolé. Nous avons fait tout ce que nous pouvions. Le bébé… il n'a pas survécu », a-t-il murmuré. Les larmes ont coulé sur mon visage. Ils avaient tué mon bébé. La famille rivale avait tué mon bébé. Mais les paroles suivantes de Massimo ont complètement brisé mon monde. « Il n'y avait qu'une seule équipe médicale. J'ai dû faire un choix. Bianca… elle portait aussi mon enfant », a-t-il dit d'une voix lourde. Massimo a soupiré, puis a donné son ordre. « Personne ne doit rien dire à Arabella. Elle élèvera l'enfant de Bianca comme le sien. Il sera mon unique héritier », a-t-il déclaré. J'ai plaqué une main sur ma bouche, la vue brouillée par les larmes, avant de me détourner. L'homme que j'avais aimé n'était qu'un mensonge. Très bien. S'il voulait une guerre, il l'aurait.
