The Don's Donna

Chapter 2

Location; Ravenhood, 1:48 am

Valentina’s POV

I saw a lifeless figure laying next to Grandma's home. I was so terrified at first that I almost passed out, but quickly got myself together. That figure scared me to death because of the darkness of night but I summoned some courage and took cautious steps towards the figure, my heart beating with every step I took.

I found a young man laying helplessly in a pool of his blood, I bent down to check his pulse and breathe a sigh of relief because he was still alive. I'm so scared right now,but this person is laying next to my home, I can't just ignore him right now. Judging from his wounds, he was shot. I know this has to do with a gang clash s**t.

“God what I'm I gonna do” I exclaimed biting my lower lips at interval with my fingers going through my hair roughly in frustration, I've had enough for today.

I kept thinking of what to do and I knew I had to act fast, without hesitating I dragged him to my door step, then lit the lamp, went in to clear the small room and got it ventilated. For a moment I feared the door was gonna fall on him because of how old and shabby it looked, the cracks on the door were large enough to let the snakes in, I just had to put some old clothes to cover up the spaces.

The house looked so messed up and dirty, but I couldn't do too much because it was already night and I couldn't waste too much time because of the man outside.

After making sure the mat was neat to avoid infecting his wounds, I dragged him in, and boy! this guy was so heavy and built. I kept staggering after putting him down because I haven't eaten for days.

I felt so weak and drained, my head spinning and beads of sweat forming around my forehead,I wiped it off with the hem of my torn dress as I tried to stay composed. I know I might get into trouble for this but I can't just leave him there to wait for death.

I placed the lamp next to the man and took off his shirt, the moon light pierced through the room from the opened window and the breeze made the atmosphere more tense, every second that passed made me feel more anxious.

I examined the injury properly and thank heavens it wasn't too severe,the bullet missed his vitals slightly. He was shot on the upper arm, almost close to his chest region, he was bleeding too much and if he loses so much blood, I fear he might die.

I rushed inside,got a bowl of water and a towel from Grandma's bag, I also took some of her herbs with me. I took out the bullet, stitched the other wounds on his side, cleaned him up and dressed the wounds. I left him to rest, thank God Grandma had some of her herbs and ointment still preserved, I made some incent to help his healing process.

He should be awake by dawn, I said inwardly as I let out a sigh of relief. I'm not a doctor but I saw alot of this during our operations at the brothel, we were trained to handle situations like this, because the bosses men can't be taken to the hospital since they are criminals, we had doctor's at the brothel to attend to them later.

Thank heavens, grandma also taught me some of her medicine skills too. “This area is isolated, no one will easily track me down...” those were my last thoughts before I blacked out .

Matteo's POV

The rays of the sun pierced through my eyes causing me to wake up, my head hurts so much. Every were was blurry at first but I slowly regained my sight, I looked around the small space I was in, my eye went from the opened window to the old couch, this place didn't seem familiar to me. “ Where is this” I muttered trying to get up, but my wounds still hurts as f**k.

“I'm alive” I muttered as a smirk found its way to my lips, those bastards are dead, I will make sure I wipe off their entire blood line.

I am the most powerful don, I control the underworld and I am feared by all, I got shot by my rivals, they attacked while we were returning from a successful operation, all my men were cut off. I tried to fight them but they kept increasing in their numbers and I couldn't take them down alone.

I was left with no choice but to take cover, to flee. I never back down from a fight but when I saw I wasn't winning, I had to flee to come up with a revenge plan, trust me they are walking corpse. I got shot in the arm and was loosing alot of blood, so I passed out.

They will wish I was gone, I will make them beg for their death. I knew the Murrell's were behind this, I'm not gonna let this slide, we have to settle scores.

My eyes fell on a beautiful damsel laying next to me, I've never seen a lady look so beautiful and peaceful in her sleep. I have seen a lot of ladies but I've never laid my eyes on one this beautiful, although she looked pale, and exhausted, I feel she is going through alot and for some strange reason I want to be there for her. For the first time I felt so drawn to a lady, I felt connected to her, I wanted her for myself. I felt complete just looking at her, my heart raced at the thought that.

“She saved me” I thought still staring intensely at this sleeping goddess. I want her to be mine and mine alone. I had to look away when I noticed her moving, I think she is awake, I don't want her to know I'm awake.

Staying here is risky for her, I can't stay here one more day, I need to leave this place as soon as possible, I don't want her to get hurt. I don't want my rivals to track me down to this place, I need to meet with the godfather today.

Valentina's POV

I woke up feeling very hungry, weak and tired. I've not had anything to eat for days and it is evident in my ill fitted clothes, i'm clueless of what to to do, i've got no cash on me.

I sat up and looked at the man I saved, he was still asleep. For some weird reasons, I felt pity for him but I couldn’t look away either.

Gosh, I felt my face heat up, I didn't notice how handsome he was until now. Although his face was covered up in bruises, but his well sculpted jaw line and perfect nose made him look like a super Model.

My eyes went from his face to his abs, it was well chiseled and firm. I was drawn to the tattoos on his body which complimented his looks, I could sense power through it and I loved it.

“Valentina Common, look away already” my thoughts said but guess what I did otherwise, I couldn't help it, I couldn't resist the temptation.

I let my hand touch his abs, feeling every structure of it and then I used my fingers to trace the tattoos on his chest, I loved the tattoos, I really did.

I was still admiring his tattoos, when a strong hand held mine, I felt my heart sink into my stomach and waves of embarrassment sticking to me like glue.”Gosh he is awake “...
