I Left the Don Who Used Me as Bait
Dante Rinaldi, the Don, had one unbreakable rule. After midnight, no one was allowed near the estate's West Wing.
Not even me. Not even on our wedding night, right after we signed our marriage contract.
The moment the clock struck midnight, he'd draw his gun and coldly order his guards to keep me out.
Once, while overseeing an arms shipment at the port on his behalf, I discovered the Russians had set a trap. Desperate, I activated my emergency beacon.
His voice came back over the radio, flat and mocking.
"If you can't even survive a firefight, you have no business being my Donna. I'm hanging up."
I barely made it back to the safe house through a hail of bullets. He never asked if I was okay.
