The Calculated Love Was Gone
"Where's Donna? Is she asleep?"
"My Don... Donna Seraphina has been gone for three days. She told me to give you this."
Seraphina Reed.
The day I found out I was pregnant, my Mafia husband, Lorenzo, declared in front of the city's elite that our marriage was nothing but my "calculated scheme."
I waited anxiously and helplessly for his explanation, but only received a taunting message from his secretary, Victoria.
"Your husband isn't coming home tonight. Do you know why?"
"Because he's with me, handling some… private business."
At that moment, loving him so deeply I would have given him everything, I felt like the world's biggest joke.
It turned out everyone thought I married him for money.
They bet I would break, they bet I would cry, I would kneel and beg for a scrap of his love.
But I didn't.
I simply went back to the room, took off my wedding ring, and sealed it in an envelope along with my pregnancy report.
Then, I left the cage that had trapped me for ten years.
Later, he went crazy looking for me.
He turned over every port, locked down every airport, and mobilized the entire family's power.
He offered up everything he had, just to beg for my love.
