Under His Roof, Her Game The cover-up
MATEOI had seen death before.In my world, death was not rare. It was not shocking. It was not even unexpected. Men disappeared. Enemies fell. Blood was spilled. Those things happened so often that most people around me had stopped reacting to them years ago.But this was different.This death had happened inside my home.And the woman I loved was standing at the center of it.The hallway felt colder than usual as I stood outside the room where the doctor was desperately trying to save Sofia. Guards filled the corridor, speaking in low voices and avoiding my eyes. Nobody knew what to say. Nobody knew what I was thinking. The entire mansion seemed to be holding its breath, waiting for an answer that nobody wanted to hear. I stared at the closed door and felt something twisting inside my chest. Every few seconds I found myself remembering what I had seen. Elara's face. The look in her eyes. The complete lack of fear. The complete lack of regret. It replayed over and over again inside m
Under His Roof, Her Game The truth
ELARA The sound of Mateo's voice cut through the strange haze inside my head."Elara."For a second, I simply stared at him.The world around me seemed frozen. The rain outside hammered against the windows. Sofia's weak gasps filled the hallway. The guards stood motionless a few feet away, looking shocked by what they had just witnessed. Nobody moved. Nobody spoke.And there I was.Kneeling over Sofia.My hands still wrapped around her throat.My fingers stained with blood.My breathing calm.Almost peaceful.Sofia let out a painful choking sound beneath me, and only then did I slowly release her neck.The moment my hands moved away, she sucked in a desperate breath. Her body shook violently as she rolled onto her side, coughing and crying at the same time. She looked broken. Her face was swollen. Her hair was a tangled mess. Blood trickled from a cut near her forehead.I looked down at her without feeling anything.Not guilt.Not regret.Nothing.My eyes slowly lifted back to Mateo.
Under His Roof, Her Game Red-handed
ELARA "Why are you looking at me like that?" Sofia finally asked. Her voice sounded much smaller than before.I tilted my head slightly."Like what?""Like..." She swallowed hard. "Like you're angry."A small smile touched my lips."Do I look angry?"She didn't answer.That was answer enough.The room felt strangely quiet. Even the sound of the rain seemed distant now. I slowly walked toward her, and she immediately took a step back. Then another.Interesting.She was finally afraid."I tried being patient," I said softly. "I tried ignoring you.""Madam, I don't know what you're talking about.""You do.""I don't.""You do."The smile vanished from my face.For the first time since she entered the room, I let her see the irritation beneath my calm expression."You think I don't see the way you look at him?"Her eyes widened."I-I never—""You think I don't notice how often you find reasons to be near him?""That's not true.""Stop lying."The sharpness in my voice seemed to make her
Under His Roof, Her Game Closed door
MATEO For the first time in weeks, I woke up feeling certain.Not calm.Not confident.Certain.There was a difference.But whenever it came to Elara, nothing was really clear. Every time I thought I had found proof, she somehow made me doubt my own eyes.That morning, I stood in front of the mirror while adjusting my tie and stared at my reflection for a long moment. The man looking back at me appeared exhausted. There were dark circles beneath my eyes from too many sleepless nights. Too many questions. Too many memories of Elara's voice inside my head.I finally walked downstairs and found her sitting near one of the large windows in the living room.She was reading.Of course she was reading.The sight annoyed me more than it should have.The world around her could be burning, and somehow she would still look peaceful.Sunlight poured through the glass and fell across her dark hair. Her legs were crossed neatly. One hand rested against the pages of her book. She looked completely
Under His Roof, Her Game The lie
MATEOI had spent weeks waiting for something to happen.Weeks watching Elara.Weeks questioning myself.Weeks telling myself that I was imagining things.Every strange look.Every coincidence.Every story that didn't quite fit.Every time my instincts told me something was wrong.I kept looking for proof because I wanted answers.What I never expected was for those answers to come walking into my office with tears in their eyes.The afternoon had been quiet. Rain tapped softly against the windows while I sat behind my desk reviewing contracts. The sound was almost relaxing. For the first time in days, my mind felt clear.Then someone knocked on the door."Come in."The door opened slowly.Sofia stepped inside.The moment I saw her face, I knew something was wrong.Her eyes were red.Her breathing looked uneven.She stood near the doorway like she wasn't sure whether she should enter or run away.I immediately put the documents aside."Sofia."My voice came out sharper than I intended
Under His Roof, Her Game The warning
ELARAThe morning sun was spilling through the tall dining room windows, painting pale gold across the marble floor. The house looked peaceful. Beautiful. Quiet. Anyone walking through those halls would have thought everything was normal.I knew better.I sat at the dining table with a cup of coffee in my hands while Mateo read through documents beside me. The sound of paper turning filled the silence between us. It was a comfortable silence. The kind that had become strangely familiar over the past few weeks.Sofia entered carrying a tray.My eyes followed her immediately.Not because I wanted to.Because I couldn't stop noticing her anymore.She wore the same neat uniform as every other maid in the mansion, but she somehow always managed to stand out. Maybe it was because she was young. Maybe because she was beautiful. Or maybe because Mateo himself had brought her into this house.Whatever the reason was, she had become impossible to ignore."Good morning, Don Navarro," she said so
