Divorced by My Ex, I Took the Don's Name

On the night of our anniversary, I had prepared a new set of lingerie for my Mafia husband Joey, but he had prepared divorce papers for me instead.

A Cuban cigar was clamped between his teeth, a look of pure entitlement on his face.

"Adriana, we need to divorce. Vivian's father is a capo. If I marry her, my future's set."

"Look, sweetheart, you're just a broken family's leftover daughter. You should be grateful I kept you around this long."

"Once I have the family ring, maybe I'll throw you a few scraps, let you be my little side piece."

Everyone expected the daughter of a fallen family to step aside for his ambition, to be the loyal dog I'd been for the past seven years.

But that night, I made a deal with the devil.

I accepted a match arranged by my family and married the true king of New York's underworld.

I vanished from Joey's world completely.

Three years later, I returned to New York on my husband's arm.

We were there on family business. Dante was called away for something urgent, leaving me to wait for him at his private club.

I never expected to run into Joey, the man I hadn't seen in three years.

"That's enough, Adriana. Stop with the childish tantrums."

"Our son Angelo's almost six. He needs care. I'm being generous, offering you a position as his nanny."

I laughed. What was this idiot talking about?

He was calling the most feared and revered Donna in all of New York a nanny?
