The Day the Donna Lost All Hope
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.
