The Don's Pet: Breaking Out of His Billion-Dollar Cage
Antonio Rivera finally finds out that I haven't asked him for money in a week.
For once, he sends me a text message to compliment me. "Darling, you've finally learned how to become a good Donna. I've had my men deliver this week's worth of miracle drugs to your mother's ward. As long as you remain docile and don't be greedy, I'll give you anything you want."
What he doesn't know is that I'm printing out a divorce agreement when I receive his message while wearing an old dress from three years ago.
No one will believe that I, the Donna of the Rivera family, have to ask Antonio's Consigliere, Elena Gallo, for money even when I need to buy myself some tampons.
Hell, I have to apply for a leave request three days in advance if I wish to leave my home.
Antonio keeps telling me that he's doing this to protect me.
"It's too dangerous outside, sweetheart. All you have to do is stay at home like a good girl you are."
But one week ago, Mom's illness took a turn for the worse. I begged Elena to skip the request and let me out of the villa.
Elena, however, dragged out my request for seven long days. Only when Mom died did she finally permit me to leave.
Miracle drugs? My mom is already dead. I'm no longer tolerating anyone or anything anymore.
