LOGINI let out a deep sigh as my eyes began to ache from keeping them shut, and dizziness crept in from tossing and turning on the bed without being able to fall asleep.In the end, I just got up and opened the fridge, looking for something to eat—even though I wasn’t hungry. I just needed something to do.But nothing caught my interest, so I closed it again and stepped out of the room. I moved carefully, thinking Steffano might still be outside, but when I scanned the area, he wasn’t there.Probably, he’s somewhere f*cking—What am I even thinking? Why should I care if he’s with another woman?Annoyed at myself and my thoughts, I headed to the walk-in closet and grabbed swimsuits.There shouldn’t be anything wrong with going for a swim in his pool. I just need something to distract me.Wearing a robe and carrying a towel, I went downstairs—only to see Boston just arriving.So she really does live here?“Hey, going for a swim? It’s pretty late.”“I just can’t sleep. You? Where were you?”S
I opened my eyes with a heavy head, my throat unbearably dry.“W-water…” I croaked as I tried to sit up, wincing at the weight in my body.I pressed a hand to my forehead and shut my eyes when the light hit them too harshly.“Here.”Someone held my hand and placed a glass in it. I immediately brought it to my lips, relief washing over me as the cold liquid slid down my throat.“More water?”I opened my eyes, about to nod—then froze when I saw Steffano.He was only wearing a bathrobe. His damp hair trailed down to his chest, and his gaze was fixed on my… bare chest.I dropped the glass and screamed, quickly covering myself with my arm.“W-what happened?”“What do you think?”I swallowed hard, my eyes stinging as I felt soreness in my body.I shut my eyes tightly, fragments of last night flashing through my mind—sounds, laughter, breathless moans… my own voice.“T-that wasn’t a dream?”“No. You weren’t dreaming, Rebecca. Why don’t you take a shower so you can—”“You took advantage of me
STEFFANO“Boss, something happened to your wife upstairs.”I frowned at what Sigmund whispered and stopped mid-motion, setting down the glass I had been casually tossing between my fingers while talking to the woman beside me.“Is there a problem, Steffano?” she asked.I smiled and turned to her. “My apologies, Sally. Something came up with a friend. I need to go.”She pouted, her friends teasing her right away.“Aww, that’s too bad. I was enjoying talking to you. Can I get your number?” she asked with a playful smile, twirling a strand of her hair.What would your father say if he saw you right now? His only princess…“Sure. Here’s my calling card,” I said, handing it to her.Her friends squealed and teased her, and even though the noise irritated me, I forced a smile to keep a good impression.After all, I needed her for my plan. I needed her to get into her family—the Scotts.“Mom, Dad! Aren’t we going to help him?”“We can’t fight them."“Dad!”I swallowed hard as the memory resur
“Your husband is taking quite a long time in the restroom, isn’t he, Olivia?” one of Steffano’s former classmates asked me.I only gave a polite smile and avoided his gaze. I picked up the bottle of non-alcoholic drink Alexa had ordered for me and took a sip. I didn’t care if they thought I was being aloof—I just didn’t want to say anything wrong and risk someone discovering that I wasn’t really Olivia.Besides, I wasn’t comfortable around them—especially the three men who arrived last.“Are you okay?” Alexa asked, now seated beside me since Lucian had also gone to the restroom.“Do you think the line in the restroom is long?” I asked.She made a face and scratched her cheek. “Maybe he had to take care of something work-related, that’s why it’s taking a while. Do you want to go to the restroom too? Let’s retouch—my makeup’s probably a mess already,” she laughed, linking her arm with mine as she pulled me up.“We’re just going to the restroom, guys,” Alexa called out.Alexa pulled me a
“…and they lived happily ever after.”I closed the book and kissed Stephie on the forehead. She had already fallen asleep while I was reading her favorite fairytale.I glanced at Savvy, who was also fast asleep beside her. Earlier, he had been reading about dinosaurs—his favorite.I didn’t wake him. I just adjusted his blanket and gently removed his headphones before leaving the two of them.It was already past nine in the evening, yet Steffano still wasn’t back. He had left right after bringing Stephie and me home to the mansion.Speaking of—I paused when I saw Steffano just arriving upstairs.“The twins?” he asked. I could clearly see the exhaustion in his eyes—his shoulders slumped, his expression heavy.Well… of course. It’s because of Stephie.“They’re asleep.”He nodded and walked past me. He didn’t fully enter Stephie’s room—just peeked inside before quietly closing the door.“Are you okay?” I couldn’t help but ask.“Are you okay to even ask me that? Of course I’m not—”He sto
“Mommy?”“Yes, sweetheart?”“Who was that guy you were talking to?” she asked curiously.Who was he again?“A-Ah… his name is Gary. He’s a friend of mine,” I replied, even though I wasn’t sure if he was really Olivia’s friend.Stephie nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. She went back to watching something on her iPad.But my thoughts drifted back to the man who approached me earlier.The way he spoke to me… it seemed like he and Olivia were close.A coffee with him?I shook my head at the thought. Why would I do that? I’m not even the person he knows.But… aren’t you curious?Without realizing it, I glanced at Steffano, who was busy reading something on his iPad.Where is Olivia, anyway?I flinched slightly when he suddenly looked at me.“Any problem?” he asked, raising a brow.I quickly shook my head and turned my gaze outside the window.I hadn’t been sleeping well these past few days, and only now did the exhaustion fully hit me. My eyelids grew heavy… and before I knew it, I
