Donna Forte

After waking up from a car accident, I become the perfect wife of Dr. Leonardo Rossi. In the next two years of being an amnesiac, I rely on Leonardo and love him with all my heart. But on the night of our wedding anniversary, I accidentally overhear his murmured conversation with a subordinate. "Take her out once she's done signing the asset transfer papers." At that moment, a searing hot memory comes barging into my mind. I remember a man placing a hand on my sweat-drenched lower back. As he pants, he murmurs into my ear, "My dearest Donna Vittoria Costa, remember that I'm the only one who can make you shiver like this." Finally, the fog that has been haunting my mind is lifted, allowing more memories to return. It turns out that the man who has held me by my waist is none other than Leonardo, who's currently passing a glass of water to me with a smile on his face. I swallow the pill that he has handed to me. But in reality, I hide the pill beneath my tongue and merely swallow the water. Dear doctor, when the prey remembers that it's supposed to be the predator, do you think your scalpel will still be capable of slitting my throat?

My husband, Don Reginald, and my parents threw me in prison on the very night I gave him his heir. All because my sister, Felicia, set me up. She claimed I gave her a wild horse at the family races—a horse she knew she couldn't handle. It went crazy. It trampled a senator to death. With the FBI breathing down our necks, the whole family made me take the fall. Three years. Reginald didn't care that I'd just had our son. He pushed me. Over and over. "It was your horse. If you hadn't given it to her, the Feds wouldn't be after Felicia. Just do the time. When you get out, you'll still be my Donna." Three years later, I came back. Nothing had changed. They still chose her. Even the son I bled for now calls Felicia "Mama." He looks right through me, his own mother. I didn't fight. Not like the old me. I just walked away. But when I finally vanished for good, Reginald lost his mind. He tore the world apart, begging me to come back. To be his Donna again.

Na minha vida passada, usei o filho na minha barriga para forçar Vinicius Martins, cuja família estava falida, a se casar comigo. No dia do nosso casamento, seu grande amor deixou uma carta de despedida e se jogou no mar: [O amor verdadeiro finalmente perdeu para o poder. Eu me rendo.] Vinicius não demonstrou reação ao saber da notícia e concluiu o casamento sorrindo para mim. Mas, no dia do terceiro aniversário do nosso filho, ele nos levou para um mergulho. A cem metros de profundidade, ele arrancou nossos tubos de oxigênio, e meu filho e eu morremos afogados. Depois de morta, vi Vinicius levar meu corpo até o túmulo do seu grande amor como um pedido de desculpas. — Jasmim, eu te vinguei. Você ficará feliz aí onde está? Quando abri os olhos novamente, eu havia voltado para a noite em que o forcei a se casar comigo por causa do bebê.

En retour, elle n'a reçu que de l'indifférence froide alors qu'une autre femme, Luna Herold, la soi-disant amie d'enfance et collègue de son mari, prenait doucement sa place.

Elle réclamera sa carrière, défiera la famille qui l'a contrôlée, réécrira son destin et, plus important encore, elle n'aimera plus jamais Brent Reed. Mais alors qu'Adelyn s'élève, quelque chose d'inattendu se produit. L'homme qui l'ignorait autrefois... commence à la remarquer. Le mari qui ne s'en souciait jamais... commence à la poursuivre. L'amour pour lequel elle a supplié... est maintenant offert librement. Il est trop tard car cette fois, Adelyn n'attend plus. Maintenant, c'est lui qui est à genoux en train de supplier. Adelyn pardonnera-t-elle ou reprendra-t-elle jamais Brent ?

La familia Rossi tiene una regla. Si quieres ser la próxima Donna, tienes que demostrar tu valor. Gana trescientos millones de dólares, dinero limpio, en un solo año. Todo por tu cuenta, sin ayuda de la familia. Pasé diez años intentando hacerlo por Vincent. Construí diez empresas desde cero. Pero cada vez, justo cuando estaba a punto de cruzar la línea de meta, algo salía mal. Todo simplemente... se derrumbaba. Este año, finalmente lo logré. Corrí a su despacho, con la auditoría en la mano y con el corazón latiendo contra mis costillas. Pensé que finalmente había ganado. En cambio, me enteré de que mi vida entera era una mentira. Él le entregó todo mi imperio a Ava, la bastarda de mi padre. Todo porque supuestamente ella le salvó la vida una vez, y él quería convertirla a ella en la verdadera Donna. Me rendí con él. Me rendí. Del sueño de mi familia de ascender junto a la suya. Entonces tomé el teléfono y llamé a la mafia de Chicago. —Su propuesta de matrimonio —dije—. Acepto.

When I bring up divorce in front of my husband, Vito Corti, he happens to be toying with a lace thigh strap that's gifted to him by a rising adult film star. Vito, the head of the Corti family as well as the youngest Don in Emaly, orders his Soldato to pick up his new lover tonight. Then, he shoots a languid glance at the divorce agreement on the table. "How big of a tantrum are you throwing this time, my dear Donna?" I reply calmly, "I didn't touch the bank card tied to the private account. I also don't want the estate in Emaly as well as the bulletproof convoy. I have already entrusted the asset management authority to your Consigliere." Vito is stunned for a moment, but he still thinks I'm still throwing a tantrum. "You don't want those assets? Then what do you want? My devotion? Gia, I already told you in the past that you're the woman with the highest position in the family. But it's too boring for a Don to own just one woman." He tries to reach out to feel my cheek, thinking that I'll act the same way as before; that I'll forgive him in a roundabout way after lashing out at him. But I just avoid his hand. I no longer want Vito's devotion to me. Now, I just want to leave him.

On my wedding day, my mafia fiancé, Ryder Conti, had his men bar me from the church. Instead, he walked down the aisle with another woman on his arm. He shrugged at me through the iron gates. "Emilia, the Contis need an heir, and Carmela is carrying a Rossi." "Once I use the Rossi influence to solidify my position in the Family, I'll divorce her. You'll still be my woman." Everyone thought I would obediently nod and wait for him to come back. For ten years, I had loved him more than life itself, even cutting ties with my family for him. That very night, I boarded a private jet to Sicily to accept an arranged marriage with the Godfather of the Vettori family. From then on, I vanished without a trace from Ryder Conti's world. Three years later, I returned to New York with my husband and child to deal with a traitor in the Family. Zayn had some last minute business, so he sent his men to collect me. I never expected to see a face from my past. Ryder looked at me with a smirk. "Had enough fun out there? Since you've come crawling back, this is perfect. Carmela's son needs a cook. You can do the job." Wait, he just called me, the most respected Donna in the underworld, the cook?

The year the Rossi famiglia falls, my personal Underboss, Lorenzo Santoro, rises to power—becoming the Don and seizing control of the underworld. Once, I was the untouchable Principessa. He was the Soldato, ready to die for me at a moment's notice. For something as trivial as a paper cut on my finger, he would drop to his knees with red-rimmed eyes, blowing on it for half an hour. Now, to earn a smile from his new flame, Elena Marino, he forces me to sign a contract and makes me his live target. He watches with indifference as I am battered and bloodied under a hail of bullets. During a blast-resistance test, shattered glass slices the corner of my eye, but Lorenzo merely looks on. "The once-delicate Principessa Rossi can't even handle a little pain?" During attack-dog training, I am bitten to the bone, yet he shields a trembling Elena instead. "Animals don't know any better. Why are you holding a grudge against a dog?" Then comes the real kidnapping. To save Elena, who is desperate to become Donna, he personally cuts off my escape. "This is just a drill, Isabella," he scoffs. "Stop acting like it's real." On the surveillance monitors, flames engulf me as I take my final breath. A bloodstained termination contract is delivered to him. "Don Santoro, I return the life I owe you." Only then does the man who believes he rules the world finally lose his mind.
