ログインRosella has everything she was told she should want: a husband who provides, a stunning home, and a life that other women secretly envy and admire. But beneath the marble floors, she is slowly falling apart. Emotional distance becomes dark temptation, and that temptation becomes a thrilling and dangerous double life. When Adrián, her husband Leo’s best friend, crosses forbidden, unspoken boundaries, and Damien, the head of security, gets drawn into her private world, Rosella is trapped in an increasingly dark and unstable secret. Every encounter leaves a trail of traces. Every lie demands only another. Every risk brings her closer to imminent disaster. At first, she believes she has control: managing the risk, erasing evidence, preserving the illusion of a perfect marriage. But Leo is not blind. He starts noticing changes in scent, misplaced objects, strange security logs. Those details form patterns he can no longer ignore. Damien is torn between loyalty and desire. Adrián feeds on danger. And Rosella discovers she is addicted not just to the men, but to the thrill of almost being caught. What once looked like freedom now feels like a trap. The estate that sheltered her has become a cage of surveillance and silence. Every corridor seems to watch her. And Leo, calm on the outside but increasingly watchful, corners her without yet knowing how far the truth has gone. A story of temptation, betrayal, and control, where the most dangerous thing is not what is hidden… but what is already being sensed.

I glanced at the clock on the wall for what felt like the hundredth time. It was already ten at night, and Leo was still not back. I paced the living room in my elegant dress, the fabric hugging my body in all the right places. My heels clicked against the marble floor with every step. I was not restless because I missed my husband. Far from it. I had plans tonight, and they did not include waiting around for him. One of my lovers waited for me across town. I just needed to see Leo first, tell him I was heading to a friend's birthday party. That way, he would not get suspicious or angry when he finally came home. I had become good at these little lies over the years. They kept everything running smoothly on the surface while I lived the life I really wanted behind his back. I checked my phone again. No messages. Typical. Leo was always so wrapped up in his business deals. I smoothed down my dress and touched up my lipstick in the hallway mirror. The deep red shade made my lips look full and inviting. Perfect for what I had in mind later. A knock sounded at the door. My heart jumped. Finally. I rushed over with a practiced smile ready on my face. When I pulled the door open, the words died in my throat. It was not Leo standing there. Adrian leaned against the frame, looking as handsome as ever in his fitted shirt and dark jeans. His eyes swept over me slowly, taking in the dress, the makeup, the way my hair fell in soft waves. A slow smile spread across his face. "Adrian," I breathed, my pulse quickening for a completely different reason now. He stepped inside and closed the door behind him. "Leo sent me. He got tied up with some last-minute business. He said he would not make it home tonight and asked me to let you know." Relief washed over me so strongly I almost laughed. There is no need for lies or excuses. The night had just opened up wide in the best possible way. Adrian was Leo's best friend, which made everything even more thrilling. The risk always made it sweeter. "Come in properly," I said, my voice dropping softer. I locked the door and turned to him. "We have the whole house to ourselves, Adrian." His eyes darkened with the same hunger I felt. I excused myself quickly and went to the bathroom to wash off the heavy makeup. The cool water felt good against my skin. I slipped out of the dress and wrapped a soft towel around my body. When I walked back into the parlor, Adrian was waiting on the couch. His gaze locked on me immediately. I did not waste time. I crossed the room and climbed into his lap, straddling him. Our lips met in a deep, urgent kiss. His hands slid up my thighs under the towel, pulling me closer. The kiss grew hotter, tongues dancing, breaths mixing. I moaned softly against his mouth as his fingers dug into my hips. The towel slipped loose and fell away completely, leaving me naked on top of him. My breasts pressed against his chest. Adrian groaned, his hands exploring my bare skin. I reached down between us, feeling how hard he already was. This was what I had been waiting for all evening. "Take me to the bedroom," I whispered against his ear. "Our matrimonial bed. I want you there tonight." I grabbed his hand and started pulling him toward the stairs. We were both breathing hard, clothes half undone. My body ached for him. We had done this dance many times before, but never with Leo completely out of the picture for the whole night. The freedom made me bold. We were halfway across the parlor when another knock echoed through the house. I froze for a second. Adrian looked at me, eyes wide. Before either of us could react or say anything, the door opened. It did not wait for an answer. The handle turned, and it swung inward. My heart slammed against my ribs as I stood there completely naked, still holding Adrian's hand, our bodies flushed with desire. The cool air from outside brushed over my skin. Whoever stood on the other side of that door was about to see everything. Panic, sharp and blinding, sliced through the haze of passion. The door did not just drift. It was pushed with a heavy, deliberate force. The wide wooden panel swept past the threshold, exposing the entire entryway to the street outside. A shadow fell across the floor, stretching long and dark toward where we stood paralyzed in the center of the room. Adrian gasped, his grip tightening on my hand until it hurt, but he didn't pull away. He couldn't. We were both frozen like statues, caught in the worst possible position, completely exposed to whoever was forcing their way inside. The heavy wood hit the stopper against the wall with a dull thud. My eyes locked onto the widening gap, my breath trapped completely inside my throat. The silhouette of the intruder shifted, stepping forward into the light of the parlor, their hand still resting firmly on the edge of the brass handle. I felt the sheer weight of the silence stretching between us, punctuated only by the thudding of my own heart. Every instinct in my body screamed at me to run, to dive behind the sofa, or to grab the discarded towel, resting just a few feet away, but my limbs refused to cooperate. I was completely trapped under the gaze of whoever was entering. My mind raced, spinning through a thousand desperate possibilities. If it wasn't Leo, who could it possibly be? Did Leo give his keys to someone else? Had I left the front door unlocked after Adrian arrived? The reckless carelessness of my actions tonight was crashing down on me all at once. I had been so consumed by the thrill of the affair, so intoxicated by Adrian’s touch that I had forgotten the most basic rules of survival in this dangerous game. Adrian’s breath hitched beside me. I could feel the tension vibrating through his frame, his muscles locking tight as he realized the utter ruin, this moment, represented. He wasn't just my lover; he was Leo’s closest confidant, the man my husband trusted above all others. After a while, the intruder stood at the door. It wasn't Leo; I froze.Rosella’s POV Smoke first. It slid in thin and bitter. Stuck at the back of my throat before I even sat up. I stayed on the edge of the bed a moment longer than I needed to. Silk clung to the backs of my thighs. My hands stayed flat on the mattress like they did not trust the floor yet. The night light still threw that soft circle across Alexander’s crib. He slept the way he always did. One small fist near his mouth. Soft breathing. Like the house had not changed around him. I did not move right away. Leo stood in the sitting room doorway. Phone pressed to his ear. Eyes fixed on the dark window. Damien already at the outer lock, one hand resting on it. “Talk.” Leo’s voice stayed low. The edge under it did not. Elias came through clear enough for me to hear every word. “Greenhouse is gone. Full burn. We found something in the ashes.” Leo’s free hand curled once against his leg. “What.” “A phone. Still warm. And a photo.” Silence stretched between them. I watch
Rosella's POV Something brushed the stone outside. Closer this time. I stayed on the cold tile with Alexander against my chest. The only light was the thin line under the bathroom door. Leo’s voice came through the wood. “Damien. East wall. Less than ten feet.” Damien answered. “Hatch is holding. No tools. Just movement.” “Keep weight on it. Elias, pull the last cameras on this side.” I pushed my back harder into the wall. More scraping. Then nothing. Leo’s phone buzzed. “New message,” he said. I waited. “They can hear the baby breathing.” My arms tightened. Alexander didn’t wake. Leo’s voice got closer to the door. “Rosella. Don’t move.” I didn’t. The scraping started again. Higher. Right by the small bathroom window. Damien’s voice went sharp. “They’re at the bathroom wall
Rosella's POV Leo locked the phone. Outside the secure wing something moved in the dark hallway again. He turned toward the outer door without speaking. Damien was already moving with him. “Stay with Alexander,” Leo said. “Door locked.” I stepped back into the bedroom and closed the door. The lock clicked. Alexander slept on in the crib. The night light held its circle. I stood with my back against the wood and listened. Footsteps. Low voices. Then silence. Minutes passed. A soft knock. “Rosella. Open.” I unlocked the door. Leo stepped in. Dust on his shirt. The cut on his arm still wrapped. “Empty,” he said. “Whoever it was moved fast. Cameras caught nothing.” Damien stood behind him in the sitting room, phone to his ear. Leo looked at me. The heat from earlier was still there under the tiredness. “We stay here. No one
Rosella's POV I stayed in the bathroom doorway, Alexander still in my arms. Leo stood in the sitting room with Damien and Elias, voices low, dust and blood on his shirt. “Lower landing is held,” Elias said. “One man down. The second ran for the service tunnel. We have men on both ends.” Leo nodded once. “Sweep every connecting door. No gaps.” Damien looked at me, then at Leo. “She should stay in the bathroom until the full sweep is done.” Leo turned to me. The heat from earlier was still in his eyes under the dirt and the cut on his arm. “Go back inside. Lock it. I will call when it is clear.” I stepped back into the small bathroom and locked the door again. Cold tile under my feet. Alexander warm against my chest. The leftover need from the long night still sat low under the fear. The two would not separate. Outside, footsteps moved away. Doors opened and closed. Radio static. I sat on the closed toilet lid and held the baby. The silk of the nightdress stuck lig

Rosella's POV.Leo stood in the living room, turning the silver cufflink over in his fingers. The morning light caught the polished metal, making it gleam innocently. My heart slammed against my ribs as recognition hit me like a punch. It was Damien’s. One of the pair he always wore with his dress
