Margaret’s POV

My breathing turned erratic as I faced Bryan’s accusations, and I didn’t know where to start refuting his claims, because everything he said was accurate. The child definitely didn’t belong to Dante, and I had lied to Julio too about its legitimacy.

Bryan was the one who got me pregnant. We had fucked too much, and I had let my guard down, starting to have sex with him without protection. When I found out about it, I had thought of aborting it, but I realized it could be my triumph card into Dante’s life, so I played along.

Julio mustn’t know about me. He would murder me.

“Stop saying nonsense. You know that’s a lie!” I stuttered after a long while, but he only sneered at me.

“What part of it is a lie?” he asked as he zipped up his pants, which were still strained by his swollen bulge. “Is it your pregnancy that the whole country knows about, or the fact that I’m the father of your child?”

“Maybe it’s true that I’m pregnant, but that doesn’t mean you are the father,”

    Margaret’s POVI was invited to a restaurant by old Lady Blackwell, and just as I had guessed, it wasn’t a date between a future daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law. It was a fierce face-off between two enemies who already knew each other’s weapons.“How have you been, old madam? You look better than the last time I saw you,” I drawled, trying to ease the tension. The woman hadn’t sneaked a smoke since earlier, her cold face refusing to break character even for a second.“I can’t say the same for you. You are still the same, bitchy, slutty, and still scheming against my son.”Her words made me chew my tongue in anger, but I kept a smile firmly planted on my face. I couldn’t afford to get back into her bad books again.“I don’t know what you—” I started, but she cut me off sharply.“I’m not here to catch up with you. I just want to clarify something,” she said, dropping the teacup she was holding back onto the saucer. “I heard you said you are pregnant for my son. Again.”My face lit u

    Margaret’s POV “That lousy slut!” I screamed in rage as I slammed my grip against the steering wheel the moment I got into my car. I couldn’t believe I had let that undeserving bitch get under my skin, yet no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t shake her confidence. It didn’t seem like what happened at the gala yesterday had broken her spirit, or even shaken her trust in Dante. I had done all that just to drive a wedge between them. I had deliberately left clues for her to suspect that Dante was cheating. Yesterday’s event was supposed to be the final nail in my carefully planned scheme, but instead, it turned into a complete failure. She hadn’t left Dante, and worse, it seemed they were already questioning the legitimacy of my pregnancy. I couldn’t allow that. “I never thought they would bring up DNA,” I muttered bitterly. “I assumed it would be easy to lie about it, just like fifteen years ago. But Dante has changed, and now I need to prepare for whatever is coming.” I

    Cassandra’s POV“It was a one-time thing… that came out wrong, I mean—” Dante stuttered, but it seemed that every word he said only made things worse.He looked so pitiful standing there like that that I finally got off my high horse and stepped closer to him.“I know you didn’t think things would turn out this way,” I said softly, my voice barely a breath, “but maybe if you tell me the whole truth, I might understand. It might have been a one-time weakness with your ex, and—”“It’s nothing like that, Cassandra!” he exclaimed, cutting me off. And then, finally, he explained everything.Dante told me how he had helped Margaret, believing she was being blackmailed, only to end up being drugged himself. He said he couldn’t defend whatever had happened between them because he genuinely didn’t remember it clearly. His explanation forced all the scattered doubts I’d been carrying for weeks to snap painfully into place.I hadn’t been losing my mind.The signs had been real all along.“So you

    Cassandra’s POV“Are you alright?” Sergio asked for the umpteenth time ever since I arrived at his mansion.He had taken me to his house because I told him I had nowhere else to go, something I was already regretting. I had expected him to take me to a bar, or anywhere neutral, but not his place.“Yes… but I think I should leave,” I said, biting my lip nervously, but Sergio stopped me immediately.“I know what you’re thinking, but I’m not that kind of monster,” he said calmly. “I brought you here because this is the safest option. If you don’t want to be trending tomorrow morning after what happened at the studio, then it’s better you’re not seen with me anywhere public.”His explanation sounded plausible, annoyingly so.“Okay,” I blurted out, sinking quietly onto the couch. I turned away from him, trying to hide my tear-stained face, but that was pointless. He had been in the same car with me while I bawled my eyes out and cursed Dante relentlessly.I had barely managed to pull mysel

    Cassandra’s POVPregnancy? Baby’s father?Those were the only things my brain could process as I stared blankly at Dante and Margaret. People were whispering behind me, but I couldn’t make out a single word. Margaret’s declaration had numbed my mind completely, drowning out every other sound.Today was supposed to be such a big day for me, or maybe that was exactly why what I had just heard felt so devastating. What Margaret said was definitely big. Too big. How could she possibly be pregnant with Dante’s child?How did that even make sense? I screamed inwardly, my thoughts spiraling wildly, until I suddenly jolted back to my senses and found myself gasping for breath.“Breathe, Cassandra… please,” I heard Dante say, and my knees nearly buckled when it hit me that I wasn’t imagining any of this. It was real. Every horrifying second of it.“This…” I whispered faintly, but Margaret’s shrill, howling voice drowned mine out, sharp and deliberate, as though she wanted the spectators to jud
