After His Betrayal, I Became His Mother-in-Law Chapter 29
Third Person POVThat night, silver moonlight spilled across the master bed of the Landini estate.Dante didn't take Juliana to a guest room, but carried her directly into his own bedroom. It was the first time he had broken this taboo.Juliana sat on the edge of the bed, her hands wrapped around the glass of hot whiskey Dante had given her, her body still trembling slightly. The earlier confrontation had drained all her strength.Dante knelt before her on one knee, his long fingers unbuttoning her torn sleeve, carefully wiping the bruises on her wrist from Marco's grip with a warm towel."Does it hurt?" he asked in a low voice, the fierceness in his eyes melting into tenderness as he looked at her."No," Juliana said, looking at the man who made all of New York tremble, now kneeling at her feet like a devout believer. The walls around her heart finally crumbled. "Dante, thank you."Dante looked up, his deep, abyss-like eyes burning with a long-suppressed fire. "I told you," he said, h

Juliana's POVThe next day, I arrived at the estate as usual, but the air was thick with a palpable tension.Isabella was sitting on the living room sofa, her eyes red and swollen."He made another excuse," she said, her voice hoarse, clutching a delicate gift box. "He didn't come last night, and he's not answering his phone today. I'm going to go to his apartment this afternoon.""Maybe he's really busy," I said, trying to console her, but a wave of nausea washed over me. What was Marco busy with? Busy ruining my life.After comforting Isabella, I went to the art studio. It was the only place that felt like a sanctuary.Matteo was focused on painting a black panther. I had just picked up my brush when the door was thrown open.I didn't need to turn. The cloying scent of his cologne announced his presence before I saw him.Marco."Matteo, why don't you go play for a while?" Marco said, striding in with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "I need to have a word with your teacher."Matte

Third Person POVLate at night.Isabella was curled up on the living room sofa, the light from her phone screen illuminating her sad face. It was already ten o'clock, and Marco still hadn't returned her messages."Why aren't you asleep yet?"Dante walked in. He had taken off his suit jacket, the top two buttons of his shirt undone, and was holding a glass of whiskey."Waiting for Marco to call," Isabella sighed. "He said he had an important meeting, but I can't shake this feeling."Dante snorted, a flicker of displeasure in his eyes. He had never hidden his dislike for Marco Valenti. The man was too ambitious, his eyes dishonest.But his hands were tied. Isabella had been smitten with Marco from the moment she saw him at a family banquet, even threatening to leave the family for him."Papa," Isabella put down her phone and suddenly asked, "You and Mom... did you get married because you were in love?"Dante's hand paused as he poured his drink. He turned to look at his daughter, who bor

Juliana's POVThree pairs of eyes were fixed on me. Matteo and Isabella's were full of hopeful anticipation. Dante's were narrowed, his brow furrowed, as if I were a complex problem he was determined to solve.I would be crazy to stay."I really should be going," I said, clutching my purse, my voice a little hoarse. "I'm sorry.""Please, Jules," Matteo begged, running over to wrap his arms around my waist. "If you go, dinner will be boring.""Yeah, stay," Isabella said warmly. "Papa is rarely home, it'll be fun."I looked at Dante, hoping he would act like a dictator and kick me out too.But he didn't.He gave me a deep look, a dark fire I couldn't decipher in his eyes. Then, he turned to the maid and ordered coldly, "Set another place. Miss Rossi is staying."My heart sank. He didn't want me here. This wasn't an invitation; it was a command, a display of power for the benefit of his son."Great!" Matteo cheered, pulling Isabella toward the dining room. "Let's go pick out dessert!"Onl

Dante's POV"Don, this is a gift for Miss Isabella," Vittorio said, handing me a black velvet box. "The pink diamond necklace."Isabella wasn't back yet, and Matteo should still be in his lesson. I planned to put the gift in her room to surprise her.I pushed open the master bedroom door. The air was a mix of Isabella's usual perfume and... a faint smell of blood?Then, I froze.Juliana. Half-naked, standing in the middle of the room. I froze.Her back was to me, but then she spun around, frantically clutching a scrap of silk to her chest.It covered almost nothing.My gaze dropped against my will. The ridiculously short skirt clung to the curve of her hips, revealing an expanse of long, lean leg.And her torso... that pale, delicate skin, the swell of her breasts... a fleeting glimpse was enough to set my blood on fire."What the hell are you doing in my daughter's room?" I bit out, forcing a calmness I didn't feel."Do you make a habit of barging into your daughter's room without kno

Juliana's POV"Matteo! Oh my god, what did you do?" Isabella stared at my bleeding arm and torn sleeve, her voice trembling.Matteo's face was pale with fright, tears welling up in his eyes. "I'm sorry... Jules, I didn't mean to..."I took a deep breath, gritting my teeth against the pain, and knelt down, using my uninjured hand to wipe away his tears. "It's okay, it's just a scratch. Don't cry. This will be our little secret, okay? Don't let your father know.""Really?" he asked, sobbing."Of course. Now, go wash your face so no one can tell you've been crying."Matteo nodded gratefully and ran into the bathroom."You're too good to him," Isabella said, her brow furrowed with worry as she inspected my wound. "Come on, we need to get that cleaned up. And you can't walk around with a torn sleeve."She pulled me into the master bedroom without taking no for an answer.The moment I stepped into her bedroom, I was hit with the cloying scent of Marco's cologne, and my stomach churned.On th
