When the Don Inherits His Brother's Widow
In the fifth year of my marriage with Luca Salvatore, his older brother, Kendall Salvatore, suddenly passes away. As such, Luca becomes the new Don due to the circumstances.
But the Salvatore family has one condition for Luca—he has to sire an heir with Kendall's widow, Cindy Newton, in order to maintain the marriage alliance between both families.
I refuse to accept that condition. Luca turns it down firmly as well. He even takes my hand and makes a vow right in front of me.
"Xandra, I will never yield to my family. You're the only woman fit to become the Donna of the Salvatore family. Our child can be the only one who inherits my position as the Don in the future."
But gradually, he has been staying up late due to family affairs more and more often. There's also unfamiliar perfume clinging to his clothes.
But today is the day when my suspicions are finally proven to be true thanks to a video sent by an unknown number.
In the video, Luca can be seen accompanying Cindy to a prenatal check-up. As he caresses her baby bump, he says in a tender tone, "You must have suffered a lot, Cindy. Thank you for siring the heir of the Salvatore family."
At that moment, I finally realize that Luca has already broken the vow he has made to me. Hence, I burn down our home and leave without hesitation.
After all, my dad—the Don of the Caprese family—is already urging me to go home and take over the family as the new Donna.
