At my wedding rehearsal dinner, a photo of me and my fiancé’s older brother—naked in bed—was displayed in front of everyone. I said it was a setup. Jason, my soon-to-be husband and the Don of the Vale, said, “I trust you.” He erased the footage—and married me anyway. For two years, he kept me hidden while my stepsister, Nerissa, stood beside him in public. He said it was to protect me—so I believed him. I believed him even when the rumors said he was sleeping with her, even when he introduced her as his Donna… until today, when I found them in bed together. Jason didn’t even stop kissing her when he saw me. “Do you like this anniversary gift, Alina?” That was when I finally understood— Jason had never believed me—and the reason he still married me wasn’t love. It was punishment.

Meu filho de três anos, Ethan, se perdeu e acabou no território dos renegados, onde foi brutalmente assassinado. Quando fiquei sabendo disso, eu simplesmente desmaiei. Quando acordei, meu companheiro Alfa, Alexander, segurava minha mão com força. A voz dele estava rouca de tanto chorar. — Ivy, eu juro que vou vingar o Ethan. Vou dilacerar esses malditos renegados com minhas próprias garras. Mas apenas três dias depois, durante o funeral, eu ouvi uma conversa entre Alexander e o seu Beta, Marcus. — Alfa, eu não entendo — Marcus parecia confuso — Por que você não deixou o médico da alcateia salvar o Ethan? Ele só estava muito machucado, mas se tivéssemos agido a tempo... — Foi o Lucas. Ele empurrou o Ethan sem querer no território dos renegados — a voz de Alexander estava carregada de dor — mas ele é só uma criança que não conhece os limites do território. Ele não fez de propósito. — Se eu tivesse deixado o médico cuidar do Ethan, o menino teria contado a verdade a todos. Sophia acabaria presa e o Conselho condenaria Lucas à morte. Eu não podia deixar isso acontecer. — Alexander completou. — Mas e o herdeiro da alcateia? — Marcus perguntou, apreensivo. — Não faz diferença — a voz de Alexander voltou a uma calma assustadora — Assim que Ivy se acalmar, eu vou trazer o Lucas de volta. Nós vamos dizer que ele é um órfão adotado e o próximo Alfa será criado pela própria Ivy. Então, a pessoa que matou o meu filho era o filho ilegítimo dele com a amante. Meu filho poderia ter sido salvo, mas Alexander preferiu sacrificar o meu Ethan por causa desse bastardo. Disquei um número que não ligava há cinco anos. — Papai, sou eu. A Ivy. — Mudei de ideia — disse, com a voz soando fria e firme. — Vou voltar para herdar a Alcateia Real. — E quanto à Alcateia Pedra da Lua? — Eu quero que a Pedra da Lua seja apagada da existência.

Renascida, ao reabrir os olhos para esta nova vida, compreendi meu único caminho: precisava me manter o mais longe possível de Lorenzo Alencar. Quando ele caiu de paraquedas na empresa onde eu trabalhava, pedi demissão sem pensar duas vezes. Quando comprou um apartamento no meu condomínio, fiz as malas e me mudei para bem longe. Quando decidiu assumir os negócios da família e permanecer em Santa Esperança, tratei logo de pedir transferência para o exterior. Na vida passada, usei a gravidez como pretexto para obrigar ele a se casar comigo. Mas, no dia da cerimônia, o grande amor da vida dele voltou. E ao ver ele subir ao altar comigo, ela se lançou do terraço de um hotel. Lorenzo fingiu que nada havia acontecido, sorriu e repetiu os votos ao meu lado. No aniversário de casamento, levou a mim e à nossa filha para um salto de bungee jump. E então… cortou a corda. Nós duas fomos despedaçadas na queda. Diante do meu corpo, ele riu com crueldade: — Se não fosse por você, Patrícia jamais teria se matado. Agora, desça ao inferno, pague a sua dívida com ela! Quando abri os olhos novamente, já estava de volta àquela noite — a noite em que usei a minha filha como arma para forçar nosso casamento.

Llevaba tres años casada con Alexander. Todo el mundo le temía por su crueldad, pero conmigo siempre había sido muy tierno. Sin embargo, todo cambió hace seis meses, cuando Elena recibió un balazo por él durante una balacera. Alexander siempre decía que ella fue herida por salvarle la vida, así que yo tenía que ser comprensiva. En la gala más prestigiosa de la familia, mi esposo, el Don, Alexander, llegó del brazo de su asistente, Elena. Llevaba prendido al pecho el broche de rubí que simbolizaba la posición de la Donna de la familia. —Elena recibió un balazo por mí. Le gustó el broche, así que se lo presté por un tiempo. De todas formas, tú eres la única Donna aquí. Trata de tener algo de clase. No discutí con él. Me quité el anillo de bodas y saqué los papeles de divorcio. —Si tanto le gusta, que se lo quede. Incluyendo este lugar junto a ti. También renuncio a eso. Alexander firmó sin dudarlo, con una sonrisa arrogante. —¿Qué clase de jueguito manipulador estás inventando ahora? No eres más que una huérfana. Sin la protección de nuestra familia, no vas a durar ni tres días en Sicilia. Te doy una semana para que te arrepientas de esta estupidez. Luego no vengas llorando de rodillas. Saqué un celular satelital encriptado que no había usado en tres años. Alexander no sabía que, en realidad, yo era la hija menor de la familia mafiosa más antigua de Europa. Pero mi familia y la de Alexander siempre habían sido enemigas. Para casarme con él, me cambié el nombre e incluso corté toda relación con mi papá y mis hermanos. La llamada entró. Respiré hondo y susurré: —Papá, me arrepiento de lo que hice. Manda a alguien por mí en dos semanas.

Three years ago, my husband’s brother took a bullet for him. So Gwen brought his brother's widow, Eliza, into our home. I was the Donna in name only. I had to step aside for Eliza in everything. Once, Eliza faked slitting her wrists. She said I drove her to it. Gwen grabbed my throat. Murder flashed in his eyes. "Get out. The Falcone family has no place for a venomous bitch like you." He gave her the family's art foundation to "make it up to her." It was supposed to be mine. This time, I said nothing. He was signing a stack of business contracts. I just slipped the divorce papers in with them. A few days later, he noticed I wasn't home. He searched all over Chicago. He couldn't find me. That's when he saw the divorce decree. He finally understood. I was gone. For good. That day, the untouchable king of the Chicago Outfit… shattered.

I gave up on my inheritance right during the time my love for Matteo Rossini ran the deepest. When I was about to leave, Papa looked at me before saying lightly, "I bet that you'll come home in three years." Back then, I didn't take his words to heart. After spending three years overcoming life's hurdles with Matteo, he finally becomes the Don of his family. On the day the inheritance party is to be held, I decide to wear a dress that I've treasured for a very long time but never had the heart to wear. But the moment I walk into the banquet hall, I see Matteo holding hands with a radiant young woman. She's Isabella Ginevra, a popular socialite in the elite society. Isabella flits among the guests charismatically, as though she were the lady of the house. She's capable of engaging in any conversational topic, be it finance strategies or channels to obtain firearms. I try to participate in a conversation, only for Isabella to cut me off with a titter. "I thought you've been spending the past few years being cooped up indoors. It turns out that you know a thing or two about these topics, huh?" Everyone around us falls silent for a brief moment. My expression freezes on my face. Then, I turn to look at Matteo subconsciously. But he doesn't even bother looking my way. Instead, he merely says softly, "We're talking business here, Bianca. You should sit with the other ladies." I clench my fists instantly. But in the end, I opt to not say anything and just walk away. Through the throngs of the guests, I can see Matteo and Isabella chatting animatedly with each other in low tones. For once, Matteo looks relaxed and at ease—an expression that I haven't seen for a long time. Suddenly, I hear a guest remarking, "If someone like Ms. Ginevra were to become the Donna, she'd be of great help to the Don." A chorus of agreements ring out around him. Matteo just smiles in return, though he doesn't deny that remark. In fact, he even toasts to Isabella and drinks to her in front of everyone. That's when I draw to my feet and walk over to snatch the glass out of his hand. "I think so too. In that case, she can have the position as the Donna, then."
