My Dangerous Wife (Sequel to My Dangerous Husband)

Chapter No.9

Heaven Venezia:-

"I am going to do what?" I asked shocked, or more like yelled. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Maybe I had heard wrong. Right? Yeah, Dad won't just pass this huge responsibility on my shoulder, right?

"You are going to rule this Venezia empire. You are our first and last hope now, my daughter." Matteo said placing his hand on my shoulder and squeezed it "You are stronger than any of us. Do you know why? Only you can understand Giovanni's place better than anyone else right now. I know we are his parents, and we do understand his pain, but it is you who lives 24/7 with him and knows what he wants, what he is planning, and everything. Giovanni is found but his memory is lost.

At this time he needs you more than anyone and this throne is the last thing he needs to worry about and I know he doesn't care about it at the moment, because he doesn't remember, but when he does remember. He is going to break down knowing his throne has crumbled. He will think of himself as the loser, a weak person who failed to protect his throne and his family. So, please protect it until Giovanni's memories come back. You are the Donna now. Act like one. Show everyone out there who has got the power."

"But, Dad. Why can't Rick or Cedric do that?" I asked confused "Why can't you do that? You have done it before. You are alive and have been a strong mafia don so why can't you do that? I am a simple businesswoman. Not born or raised to be a Donna. Hell, my father was a cop. He kept me away from these things.

Even Giovanni did after marriage. Dad, you know better than anyone that Giovanni doesn't want my hand coated with blood. He wants to see me pure. He likes me pure, but after doing this, I will become a killer, Dad, and I won't be pure. I will have the blood of hundreds or who knows thousands of men on my hand."

"Heav...." Lucianna cut Matteo off and squeezed my hand with a smile.

"Then let all the dirty work be done by Rick and Cedric. Like Matteo said, you will lead and we will follow. You order and they will be done. Your word will be law over here." Lucianna encouraged me "I know you were raised to be a Donna, but you have to understand that when you agreed to marry Giovanni five years ago, was the day you accepted this world and what comes with it.

I understand that you fear that Giovanni won't feel the same way about you after you become a killer, but he won't. His feelings won't die for you, not now, not ever. Hell, can't you see that even with lost memories he doesn't remember anyone, but knows a bit about you, and only trusts you. Not us. You! So it proves that with or without memories, you are the only woman for him."

"And, my child. I know I have ruled this empire as a Don, but you have to understand that I retired for a reason because I am old now. I don't have the strength I used to have back in my day. Our enemies and all the rivals out there know that and you know that too. I can't fight like I used to do in my golden days. They are gone, but you hold the strength, the power, and even the training because whether you admit it or not, we all are aware that Giovanni trained you well in secret so you could protect yourself.

So you could protect the children. Now, it's time for you to use his training to your advantage. Why do you think he was training you all this time? It was for this reason. That if anything were to happen to him, you could run his throne. As for Cedric and Rick, I know they are the best candidates for this job, but they are not you. They are not Venezia. They are family but not really family. This is the Venezia Empire which can only be run by a Venezia. Which is you so forget about everything right now and take control." this time Matteo's voice was stern and dangerous, just like Giovanni uses when he is done talking and won't take no for an answer. I took a deep breath and nodded as I stood up and wiped my tears.

"You're right. I will protect this family, my husband, our children, and this throne. If anyone is looking for a war, then the war is what they are going to get, but if they want an agreement, then the agreement is what they are going to get, but under my terms. I will show them that just because I am a woman, doesn't mean that I will go lenient or show any kind of mercy." I announced and looked around at everyone. They all gave me a proud look, smiled, and got down on their knees in respect, even Matteo and Lucianna.

"Long live our Donna." Matteo, Cedric, Lucianna, Flora, and even Rick from the staircase echoed. After the men from the Venezia mafia heard the echo, they all spoke along and rested their weapons on the ground, letting me know they accepted me as their Donna.

"Everyone rises." I ordered with a smile and leaned down to help Matteo and Luciana back on their feet "You both are making me feel bad by doing that. Please don't. You are my elders and like my parents. Please don't." In response, they smiled and Matteo patted my cheek and nodded his head.

"So, what's our first order, Donna?" he asked, in a teasing tone.

"Obviously to find out what Carmen Martinez actually wants." I replied with a wink "I think it's time to show the Spanish Mafia Princess show that she is still the princess, while I am the Queen. Ain't I?"

"Heaven!!" All of a sudden a painful scream of Giovanni came from Gabriella's room, alerting all of us.

"Giovanni?!"
