His Greatest Sin Chapter 9
Three years can change a lot.The Rossi-Torrino alliance was more successful than anyone had imagined. Julian opened up the European markets for us, and my knowledge of the Italian landscape made our expansion seamless.Our combined power had quietly eclipsed even the once-mighty Moretti family."Ma'am, Dante Moretti returned to Verona today," my butler informed me as I ate my breakfast.My hand paused for a fraction of a second over my toast. "Oh? Is his term up?""Yes, ma'am. The word is he performed exceptionally in Alaska. The Moretti council has already reinstated him as head of the family.""I see." I nodded, my tone as flat as if we were discussing the weather. "The roses are looking lovely today. Have the gardener give them extra water."The butler hesitated, then understood. "Yes, ma'am."Some people's return was, indeed, less important than the flowers in the garden.A week later, I ran into him at the city art gallery.I was admiring a Renaissance masterpiece when I felt som

I looked at the desperation in Dante’s eyes and felt nothing.Once, those eyes were my whole world. Now, they were just a reminder of how foolish I had been.I reached out and took Julian's hand, lacing my fingers through his."Dante," my voice was as calm as a still lake. "Some things, once they're lost, can never be found again. Like trust. Like love."I turned to the assembled guests and my voice rang out, clear and final."I, Isabella Rossi, will marry Julian Torrino today. This is my choice, and it is my honor."Julian squeezed my hand, his gaze warm and solid.The color drained from Dante's face. He staggered back a step, as if he'd been shot."Isabella…" his voice was a broken whisper."Take Clara away," I ordered my men, my tone frigid. "She needs to 'rest'."Clara tried to struggle, but with the truth exposed, she had no fight left. Two bodyguards dragged her unceremoniously from sight."No! Dante, help me! She framed me! It's all lies!" her screams faded into the distance.Da

The crowd gasped at Julian’s words."Did he just say he's happy to be used?""What kind of messed-up rich people romance is this?"I knew what he was doing. He was protecting me, telling the world in his own way: Even if she is using me, that’s my damn choice, and none of your business.But just then, a figure appeared at the edge of the crowd.Dante.He wore a black suit, his face as pale as a ghost. His deep green eyes, the ones that once held my entire world, were locked on Julian's hand on my waist.I saw his jaw tighten, his hands clench into white-knuckled fists.Clara saw him too, and a triumphant gleam lit her eyes."Dante!" she cried, rushing toward him. "You're here! Stop her, Dante, she's going to marry someone else!"But to everyone's surprise, Dante sidestepped her embrace, his gaze never leaving my face."Isabella," his voice was hoarse. "Are you really going to do this?"My heart clenched, but I kept my voice steady. "Dante. You're just in time to witness my marriage to

Clara knelt before the gates like a repentant sinner. She looked up at me, tears streaming down her face, her fragile beauty even more striking in its misery."Isabella," she sobbed, her voice trembling with despair. "I've come to apologize."Whispers rippled through the crowd. The reporters surged forward."Is that Clara? Why is she kneeling at the Rossi estate?""I heard she was Dante Moretti's ex…""She shows up on Isabella and Julian Torrino's wedding day? This is incredible!"Rage burned in my chest, but I forced myself to remain calm."Clara, get up," I said, my voice low. "We can talk about this in private.""No," she shook her head, tears tracing paths down her cheeks. "I have to say this in front of everyone. Isabella, I'm so sorry."Her voice grew louder, clearly playing to the reporters."Five years ago, I was young and foolish. I shouldn't have accepted Dante's kindness, I shouldn't have let him spoil me." She choked on a sob. "I knew you were engaged, but… I got carried aw

Julian and my father both looked at me in surprise."I'll do it," I repeated, my voice steadier than I felt, looking at Julian. "I'll marry you. For the good of my family... and for a new beginning for myself."A brilliant smile lit up Julian's face. "Isabella, you won't regret this.""I hope not," I managed a weak smile.An hour later, Julian left, looking pleased. My father immediately got on the phone, preparing to announce the news.I sat in my room, staring at the engagement ring Julian had left on my finger—a three-carat pink diamond, exquisite and beautiful.Maybe this was a new beginning.Maybe I could forget Dante Moretti, forget all the pain, and start a new life with a man who seemed to truly care.Meanwhile, across town, Dante was with Clara at Verona's most exclusive boutique.Clara emerged from the dressing room in her fifth outfit, a pale blue silk gown. She twirled in front of the mirror. "Dante, what do you think of this one?""It's beautiful," Dante replied, his eyes

Three days later, all of Verona was talking about one thing: Dante Moretti had personally flown to Chicago and brought Clara back.I stood at my window and watched a luxury sedan glide past on the street below. Through the tinted glass, I could just make out Clara’s profile. She wore expensive pearls and a custom silk dress, as if the gaunt woman in the photos had never existed."Miss, your father will see you now," the maid said softly from the doorway.I turned and walked toward my father's study. The family portraits lining the hall seemed to judge me with their silent eyes. Isabella Rossi, the daughter who brought disaster to the family."Sit," my father, Lorenzo, said without looking up from his papers.I sat obediently, bracing for the lecture."The Morettis have pulled out of all our joint projects," he finally said, his sharp gaze pinning me to my seat. "They're reopening bids for the port contracts. The construction deals are terminated. Yesterday, their men blocked our land a
