Donna Tartt Next Book

Ten years with Don Maximus. I went from the crazy girl who demanded his "undying loyalty" at gunpoint to Chicago's perfect Donna. When Maximus took the casino's hottest stripper to his private room, I didn't lose my mind. Instead, I tossed the woman the keys to a Manhattan penthouse. When Maximus's new flame threw a tantrum at a yacht party, I didn't bat an eye. Instead, after she slapped a waiter in a fit of pique, I made the police problem go away. When Maximus fought with one of his girls, I'd even send her a limited-edition Birkin to smooth things over. And today, Maximus is busy fucking his hot new toy in the study, while another pregnant mistress stands on the estate's rooftop, threatening to jump just to see him. And I'm still the one in my red-bottom heels, calmly going to clean up his mess. The mistress screamed, desperate. "I'm not having this baby! Get Maximus!" I took a sip of my wine, my voice bored. "He's busy today. You have the baby, and I'll make sure seven figures show up in your offshore account." My indifference set her off. She grabbed my wrist, her grip like iron. "You're pathetic, Angelina! There was a time he wouldn't even look at another woman because of you. He slaughtered an entire family for you. When you were shot, he knelt in the pouring rain outside a church, begging God to take his life for yours! But now? You can't even get into his bed. All you can do is stand here and play the gracious Donna!" Her nails left red marks on my skin, but the smile on my face didn't crack. Did she really think a little drama would change anything? I wasn't playing the gracious Donna. I was just done. And I was finally ready to let Maximus go.

Ich war seit drei Jahren mit Alexander verheiratet. Jeder fürchtete seine Rücksichtslosigkeit, doch er war immer unglaublich sanft zu mir. Aber seit Elena vor sechs Monaten während eines Schusswechsels eine Kugel für ihn abgefangen hatte, änderte sich alles. Er sagte immer, sie sei verletzt worden, um ihn zu retten, also musste ich verständnisvoll sein. Auf dem prestigeträchtigsten Gala des Familienclans kam mein Mann – der Don, Alexander – mit seiner Sekretärin Elena an seiner Seite. An ihrer Brust prangte das Rubin-Brosche, das die Position der Donna der Familie symbolisierte. „Elena hat eine Kugel für mich abgefangen. Sie mochte die Brosche, also habe ich ihr erlaubt, sie eine Weile zu tragen. Trotzdem bist du die einzige Donna hier. Versuche, ein wenig Klasse zu zeigen.“ Ich widersprach ihm nicht. Ich zog einfach meinen Ehering ab und zog die Scheidungsunterlagen heraus: „Da sie den Ring so sehr mag, soll sie ihn doch behalten. Ebenso diesen Platz neben dir. Den gebe ich auch auf.“ Alexander unterschrieb ohne zu zögern, ein kaltes Lächeln auf seinem Gesicht. „Welcher manipulative Trick spielst du jetzt? Du bist ein Waisenkind, von deiner Familie getrennt, du wirst keine drei Tage auf Sicily überleben. Ich warte darauf, dass du zurückkommst und mich anflehst.“ Ich zog ein verschlüsseltes Satellitentelefon hervor, das ich seit drei Jahren nicht mehr benutzt hatte. Alexander wusste nicht, dass ich eigentlich die jüngste Tochter der ältesten Mafia-Familie in Europa war. Doch meine Familie und Alexanders waren seit jeher Feinde. Um ihn zu heiraten, hatte ich meinen Namen geändert und sogar den Kontakt zu meinem Vater und meinen Brüdern abgebrochen. Der Anruf wurde verbunden. Ich atmete tief ein und flüsterte: „Papa, ich bereue es. Schick jemand, um mich in zwei Wochen abzuholen.“

Welcome back!! It's now 18 years later. Kia and all of her friends are now older as they watch their firstborns go off to college. Follow them and their kids on their journey through every obstacle life throws at them.

By the seventh year of my cold war with my father, Don Leonardi Rossi, he finally found a way to win me over. He introduced me to the most powerful Mafia Don in southern Ritalle—Riccardo Colombo. For my happiness, my father was willing to give me half of the family's empire as a gift. I surrendered completely to Riccardo's love. Four months later, I was pregnant. Every prenatal check-up saw Bascily regions' two most influential Dons personally by my side. Everyone envied me for having two men who loved me so fiercely. Yet, on the day of my amniocentesis, they were both absent. "There's a new arms deal in the north," my father said, stroking my head. Riccardo kissed my belly gently. "I'll bring you gifts when I return." I smiled and watched them leave. But as I lay on the examination table, my phone buzzed with an anonymous video. In it, my father wore a groom's suit, standing beside Rosa—the prostitute who had infuriated my mother to death. Their illegitimate daughter, Lina, cradled her swollen belly, proudly wearing the Colombo family crest, and clung to my husband's arm. The announcer cried, "Congratulations to Don Rossi for reclaiming his one true love, and to Don Colombo for marrying his soulmate!" At the video's end, my father laughed and clinked glasses with Riccardo. "The fake crest and fake marriage certificate for Lia—you really outdid yourself. Aren't you worried she'll be heartbroken?" Riccardo snorted. "She never let Rosa into the house, leaving Lina to grow up as a bastard. This was what she owed her." So that was the truth. But when I finally left with my child for the Massimo family, why did they still regret it?

In my previous life, I had married Luca Corleone, the most handsome Underboss in Cisilia. Everyone was envious of me. They all claimed that I became one of the most noble women in the country. My twin sister, Lia Rossi, went mad with jealousy. She pushed me down the stairs afterward. When I was at my weakest point due to a miscarriage, she used a pillow to smother me to death. When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day the family meeting on the upcoming marriage alliance is held. Upon returning to the lounge, I witness Lia straddling Luca, clearly engaging in physical intimacy with him. Her legs are spread widely as her body rocks with every powerful thrust. "You came far too late, Elvira." Lia pants heavily while shooting me a smug look. "I'm the woman Luca loves now. See, we're even coupling with each other. In this lifetime, I shall be the one marrying him!" Everyone looks at me, waiting for me to back off from this relationship while suffering from a mental breakdown. But I just chuckle in return. Oh, my dear Lia… All she knows is that Luca is young, handsome, and insanely wealthy. But what she doesn't know is that he has a secret room tucked away in his bedroom that's completely filled with toys and tools meant to torture women. At the same time, he also plans to share her with the rest of his subordinates.

In my fourth year of becoming the wife to Matteo Costa, the Don of the Costa family, as know as La Rosa Nera, I no longer insist on making our relationship public. He has once told me that he will publicly announce my identity as Donna on our wedding anniversary this year. But ever since Vera Barbieri returns to the country, Matteo never brings this up again. He puts all his attention on Vera and always places all her needs first. He even abandons me on the highway because of a single phone call from Vera while my mother is on her deathbed. My mother never gets to see me one last time before she dies. At this moment, I finally give up on him. I prepare the divorce agreement and book a ticket to leave Nevoli. The day after tomorrow, I will leave this place and leave Matteo to his childhood sweetheart.

I am a top-notch surgeon. But when my ex-boyfriend —— now the Don of the Blackwood family —— was brought to the hospital injured, even the head nurse advised me against taking the case. Everyone said the Dante Blackwood despised me. Because three years ago—the last time we met—I took off my engagement ring and handed it back to him, then got into the car of Dominic, the Don of Mercer family. But I still put on my white coat and walked in. Not only walked in—I pressed my hand right against his stomach without a shred of hesitation. Before the punch came, it was the killing intent in his eyes. "I told you. Touch me one more time, and I'll break every bone in your body." The interns outside the door were all holding their breath for my safety. I adjusted my gold-rimmed glasses and let out a helpless smile. But the moment I undid the buttons of his shirt, even though his mouth told me to get out, his body couldn't help but tense up.
