The Don Who Couldn’t Keep Me
"I've already submitted my resignation. I'm no longer part of the Valeri Family. You have no right to do this!"
"Don Valeri has instructed us that Ms. Costa's wishes are his wishes," the bodyguard said, voice cold as ice.
In the dead of winter, I knelt at the gate for seven long hours.
My knees were scraped and raw, my face purple from the cold, and I couldn't stop shivering. The only thing that kept me upright was sheer will.
My consciousness was waning, and I vaguely heard someone calling my name.
When I looked up, I saw Luna sprinting toward me.
