The Don’s Runaway Substitute

I had always needed too much reassurance, and for three years, Dante Romano had given it to me.

Whenever he came home late or failed to answer his phone, I imagined the worst. And whenever I couldn’t sleep, I made him leave whatever he was doing and come home to me.

During one of those needy episodes, strange lines of text appeared before my eyes.

【The Don of the Romano family is handling family business. You really think he has time to put you to bed?】

【She’s only an ordinary woman he kept because she looks like Bianca DeLuca.】
