121. A Confession Too Late

Rose glanced back at Aaron once before stepping out of the car, while he remained seated inside. She took a deep breath, making sure he truly meant it when he allowed her to go. Aaron’s expression looked calm, but Rose doubted his heart was as steady as his face.“Are you sure I’m allowed to meet Matteo alone?” Rose asked, seeking reassurance.Aaron nodded. “He wouldn’t dare do anything to you in a public place. Just make sure you stay away from knives and anything sharp.”“You’re only making me panic,” Rose sighed softly. “We’re just meeting in a lounge. I don’t think there’ll be dining knives.”Aaron suddenly laughed and reached out to brush Rose’s cheek without hesitation. “You’re adorable. I was joking, Rose.”A small smile curved Rose’s lips. “I’m more worried that you’re worrying too much about me.”Aaron leaned in and kissed her forehead, as if marking her as his. The gentle kiss made Rose’s heart race. Aaron was never one to show affection through touch or tender gestures.“Of

122. The Agreement

Matteo was at a loss for words. There were so many things he wanted to say to Rose, from his regret to his love. But Rose already had a new life. It was impossible that her relationship with Aaron was merely an act. Perhaps Rose wanted to bury those memories, the ones that had become a painful mistake for her.But what about when she was pregnant and miscarried? Did she regret it then? Was that also part of her agreement with Romilda? Or at that time… had Romilda already returned and taken over again?“Was it Romilda,” Matteo asked quietly, “or was it you… Who was pregnant?”Matteo’s eyes burned, reddening as he fought back tears. He tried to maintain his composure in front of Rose, but the truth cut him deeply.What Matteo felt, Rose felt as well. Without him realizing it, she was struggling to keep her body from trembling. Tears threatened to spill at any moment.Rose wanted to confess that she had loved Matteo with all her heart. When she became pregnant, she had been happy, even t

“Rose?”Aaron’s voice sounded louder this time, drawing everyone’s attention. Rose immediately pulled away from Matteo’s arms and stepped back. Shock was clear in her eyes after Matteo’s sudden action.“Why did you—”Before Rose could finish, Aaron was already approaching them. He did not look angry. He was calm, though concern was visible in his eyes. He moved to stand beside Rose.“Are you finished?” Aaron asked.Rose looked conflicted, unsure how to answer. At the same time, Matteo stood up and addressed Aaron politely. Still, the tension between the two men was impossible to miss.“We’ve reached an agreement,” Matteo said, answering on Rose’s behalf.“I know this isn’t ethical,” Aaron said firmly, “but if you try to threaten my fiancée, our business deal is over. I choose her over any deal.”“No, of course not,” Matteo replied quickly.He glanced briefly at Rose’s pale face. Somehow, Matteo sensed that she was still hiding something.“Rose agreed to help expose Romilda’s crimes,”

124. The Anniversary Trap

The long-awaited day finally arrived for Matteo. He had arranged for Rose and Aaron to come to the Cavanaugh estate to confront Romilda. Matteo’s intention was simple: he would bring Rose face-to-face with Romilda during the signing process that would name Romilda the heir to the shares.Matteo personally picked up Aaron and Rose at the airport. Even the driver stared in shock at Rose’s appearance. She looked far too much like Romilda; only her makeup and hairstyle set them apart.The drive was silent. Matteo glanced at his watch several times, remembering the appointment he had made with the lawyer earlier that morning. Romilda knew about it too. Matteo was sure she was waiting for the moment she would officially become a billionaire through Caesar’s fortune.As the car neared the Cavanaugh residence, Matteo frowned at the long line of vehicles parked all the way to the side of the road. A bad feeling settled in his chest. He instructed the driver to pull over at a distance from the

Meanwhile, outside the grand mansion’s gates, the atmosphere was starkly different. What had been bright just moments ago suddenly turned overcast. A fine drizzle began to fall, dampening the asphalt.Beneath the shadow of a large tree, the black sedan carrying Aaron and Rose remained parked. It was far enough from the security post to avoid attention, yet close enough to glimpse the lively scene inside.Inside the car, Rose clenched her hands, already growing cold. Her eyes stayed fixed on the tall windows of the Cavanaugh mansion. The distant music slowly faded beneath the growing rain.Memories resurfaced, stirring a mix of emotions in Rose’s chest. This was the Cavanaugh family home, the place where she had once found her first love.“Oh my God, how long do we have to wait here?” Aaron complained impatiently, breaking the silence.Seated beside Rose, Aaron glanced at his watch. “Let’s just go home, Rose.”“But—”“We’ve already wasted time coming all this way, and Matteo hasn’t sai
