Mil Gaya

Three months after Pete took his foster sister as his mistress, I terminated my marriage, chose to die on paper, and vanished from his life entirely. One quiet morning, I handed my child over to the nannies arranged by the family and walked out of the Rizzuto estate alone. Pete didn’t chase after me that day. He believed I would come back. Once I had calmed down, I would lower my head. The following spring, I was diagnosed with cancer. Standing in the hospital corridor, I suddenly remembered years ago— Pete had taken my hand and said, “You’ll be the finest Donna this Rizzuto family has ever had.” What pulled me back was not Pete. It was a letter from Sicily. Thin paper. Cold, rigid handwriting—the kind favored by old families who had ruled too long to bother with sentiment. “The heir has begun showing signs of emotional instability.” “Recent violent behavior has caused internal concern.” “There is disagreement within the family regarding the current Don’s judgment.” In the mafia world, there is only one reason the elders would bypass a man and reach out to a wife officially presumed dead— When the family itself begins to lose balance. So I returned. To the place I had once fled with everything I had. This time, there were no illusions. I no longer placed any hope in emotion. I was there only to fulfill the obligations of the family. I knew exactly how much time I had left. And I knew exactly what needed to be done. I became a proper Donna.

As per my father’s offer, I decided to leave both my son and husband behind and go back home where I would become his little girl again. That decision came after I heard my family’s true thoughts following my surgery. My husband thought, “It was just a minor issue! Why did she stay in the hospital for so long? She’s back and has yet to do any chores. Can’t she see that my suit needs ironing?” My son thought, “She spent so much money on that surgery, and now she’s even drinking my favorite yogurt! Why can’t she be a successful businesswoman like Sarah? All she does is stay in the house and act like a freeloader!” My mother-in-law thought, “She had to come back right when I’m making chicken soup, of all times! She can just drink the dishwater for all I care.” Feeling utterly disappointed, I turned around and closed the door. Then I called my father. “Yes, it’s just me. I’m not bringing anyone.”

“ Semua tidak akan ada yang baik - baik saja, setelah 24 jam..!! Kalau perlu jual ginjalku, aku rela melakukan apapun demi mendapatkan uang itu..”

Pada hari perceraian, aku hanya membawa pergi satu set pakaian yang kupakai saat menikah dulu. Rumah, mobil, harta, dan anak-anak ... semuanya kutinggalkan untuk Sultan. Dia menatapku dengan agak terkejut, lalu mencibir. "Kamu sudah pikirkan baik-baik? Tiga anak itu kamu besarkan dengan tanganmu sendiri dan sekarang kamu lepaskan mereka? Kalau kamu benar-benar nggak menginginkan apa pun, aku juga nggak akan minta biaya nafkah darimu. Itu adil." Aku segera menandatangani perjanjian itu, lalu menyahut dengan datar, "Mm, sangat adil." Sultan terdiam sejenak sebelum akhirnya perlahan menandatangani namanya. "Kalau nanti kamu nyesal, kita bisa ...." Aku mengibaskan tangan untuk memotong ucapannya, lalu pergi tanpa menoleh lagi. Dulu Sultan sering mengatakan bahwa aku menikah dengannya demi uang dan kekuasaan, bahkan mencoba mengikatnya dengan anak-anak. Tidak apa-apa. Saat dia mengurus jenazahku nanti, dia akan mengerti semuanya.

I was raised to believe that love meant endurance. That if I loved him enough, I could survive anything. For seven years, I was stationed at the border—alone, bleeding, freezing, nearly dying more times than I can count. Every transfer request I submitted was denied. Every time I asked why, I was told the same thing: the family needed me. The alliance came first. Others needed protection more than I did. What I didn’t know was this— Every sacrifice I made was approved by the man who claimed to love me. Adrian Holt, the Don who raised me, protected me, promised I would be his Donna one day… He was the one signing my name away year after year. He chose widows. He chose alliances. He chose power. And he chose for me—without ever asking. Because he was certain of one thing: That no matter what he did, I would never leave him. He believed love meant I would understand. That loyalty meant silence. That I would forgive anything—as long as he said he loved me. So when I finally walked away, I didn’t argue. I didn’t beg. I disappeared. And that was the moment his world collapsed. Now he’s tearing through cities, alliances, and his own sanity trying to find me— Too late realizing that love is not sacrifice when only one person bleeds. This is not a story about redemption. It’s a story about what happens after you lose the woman who endured everything… And finally chose herself.
