I Swore Off Men; But My Enemy Wants An Exception Chapter 79: The Big Reveal
Rosette's point of view The day of the signing-in ceremony finally came. Or rather, the gala I turned it into.I stood before the mirror in my room, staring at the reflection that looked almost too refined to be me. My gown was a deep blue color, sleeveless but with an elegant neckline that neither revealed too much nor covered me entirely. The fabric hugged my body in a way that spoke of quiet confidence. It had a long slit that stopped just above my knee.I wore silver heels that gleamed softly beneath the lights. My hair had been curled into tight waves that framed my face perfectly, each strand shining like silk. The makeup artist had done a full face make up; soft, radiant skin, subtle contour, bold eyes, and dark red lips. I looked like a woman who owned the world.But my chest felt tight.As I stepped into the car, I kept glancing at my phone. I had called Cesare five times, maybe more. Each time, the call didn’t go through. His number was unreachable. I tried to convince

Rosette's point of view The day started like any other; quiet, steady, and oddly peaceful. The kind of morning that almost tricks you into believing life has decided to stop being cruel for a while. I woke up to Ethan’s giggles from the other room and the faint aroma of breakfast coming from the kitchen. My phone buzzed beside me and I didn’t even have to check to know who it was. Cesare always called early.“Morning,” I muttered into the phone, voice still heavy with sleep.He chuckled softly. “You sound like you wrestled your sheets all night.”“Maybe I did,” I murmured, dragging myself upright. “But you’re one to talk. You barely slept either, did you?”“Guilty,” he admitted. “I was thinking about the ceremony, your speech, the press... you’ll be incredible.”That made me smile. “You better be there, Cesare.”“We still have tomorrow,” he replied, and I could hear that familiar hint of restraint in his tone.Ethan’s laughter echoed again and I stood, stretching. “I have to go. My

Rosette's point of view The moment I left the restaurant after meeting Claudia, my hands wouldn’t stop trembling. My pulse was wild; every nerve in my body screamed that I’d just made a deal with something dangerous. Maybe it was the adrenaline, or maybe it was the weight of finally setting my plan in motion. Either way, I couldn’t shake off the tension crawling under my skin.Whatever came after this, I had to face it. No matter how bad it turned out, I wouldn’t let fear cage me again. Not this time.“Pull over,” I told my driver.He glanced at me through the rearview mirror, startled. “Ma’am?”“I’ll drive,” I muttered, already reaching for the door handle.He hesitated, then slowed the car and parked by the curb. When he got out, I pressed a few bills into his hand.“Take a cab home. I’ll handle it from here.”He wanted to say something, but one look from me and he didn't. The door closed, and I slid into the driver’s seat, breathing out as I started the engine.My thoughts were
I Swore Off Men; But My Enemy Wants An Exception Chapter 76: Deal
Rosette's point of view I knew I was on the right path the moment Claudia picked up my call and agreed to meet. Her voice had been clipped, cautious, but not dismissive. That was progress. I told Cesare before leaving; he tried to calm me, telling me to keep my cool, to not provoke her. I scoffed then, because with Claudia, it was never about provoking her; it was about surviving the venom she spat so elegantly.The drive to the restaurant felt endless. I kept touching the bag on my lap where the journal sat buried under a scarf. That damned book felt heavier than it should. It wasn’t paper and leather anymore; it was the weight of too many lives, too many secrets, and possibly, my own doom if I didn’t handle it right.When I arrived, Claudia was already there. Punctual, poised, and probably imagining how satisfying it would be to slap me across the table. She was sitting by the window, wine glass in hand, her posture regal like a queen waiting to execute someone.I slipped on m

Rosette's point of view I sat on my bed with the journal in my lap, the weight of it heavier than anything I've ever faced. It was like I was holding my own life in my hands.Dust still clung to the cover, and every time I brushed my fingers across it, I sneezed quietly. The leather was old, cracked at the corners, with faint traces of fingerprints. Taking a deep breath, I flipped it open. The first few pages were faint, the ink nearly vanished with time. I squinted, tracing the words with my fingertips, but most of them were too faded to read. I turned another page. Still nothing clear.Frustration began to build, and I kept flipping until I reached the middle. That was when things began to take shape.Names, dates, numbers and locations.At first, I thought it was just some sort of transaction record, maybe bribes or secret business dealings my father was keeping track of. But as I kept reading, my stomach started to twist. These weren’t just transactions, they were confessions

Rosette's point of view The day was one of the most stressful I'd ever had. My head still throbbed from all the talking, fake smiling, handshakes, and the mental exhaustion.By the time I slid into the backseat of my car, my body felt like it had been drained of every ounce of energy. The driver asked if I was heading home and I only nodded, closing my eyes for a second, trying to breathe.Then my phone rang.The screen flashed an unknown number, but my heart knew who it was before I even checked. I didn’t need to guess; I’d been waiting all day for this call. My lips curved unconsciously as I answered, leaning my head back on the seat.“You were good today, sweetheart.”I froze for a beat. “What? Wait—you were there?”A low, amused chuckle rolled through the phone. “No. I wouldn’t risk our plan like that.”I let out a small breath of disbelief, half laughing. “Then how the hell do you know?”“I have my ways.” His tone was smug, and I could almost picture that little smirk forming a
