In the dead of night, Reginald’s hand snaked around my waist. His thumb brushed the swell of my breast."Don't."I shoved him off, scrambling up like I was trying to escape.He wouldn't be denied. He loomed behind me, his voice a low growl of possession. "We're married, Rosabella. And besides…"His breath was hot on my ear, his voice turning slick. "Leo is three now. It's time you gave me another child."Bile rose in my throat. I stumbled to the bathroom, collapsing over the toilet.Reginald followed me in. The air in the small room went still. His face was a mask of confusion and frustration."What's wrong with you? You've been back a month, and you won't even let me touch you... Are you..."I gripped the sink, staring at my pale face in the mirror. I cut him off."It's nothing. I'm just not feeling well. I used to be so stubborn. Don't worry. I won't be like that anymore."Right. I was the problem. Always jealous of my perfect sister. Jealous of how she had our parents wrapped around

I walked down the stairs, papers in hand.In the living room, Reginald and Felicia were on the couch. Leo was curled up in Felicia's lap.They looked like a perfect family.And I was the intruder."Rosabella?" Reginald froze when he saw me. "Why aren't you asleep?"Felicia immediately clutched Leo tighter, as if I were some kind of monster."Sister... I'm sorry, I just needed Reginald to take me home, I didn't mean to wake you..." Her voice trembled, her eyes red-rimmed.Still such a good actress."Are you angry with me?" Reginald stood, frowning at me. "Because I brought Felicia back?""No."I held the papers out to him."What's this?" Reginald took them, confused, not opening them."Just some documents. They need your signature."Reginald glanced at the cover, assuming it was a deed for the estate or some asset agreement.His expression instantly softened.He stepped closer, his voice dripping with condescending pity. "The villa on Lake Como. You always liked it there." He stroked my

I woke up in my bedroom. The wounds on my back throbbed.Reginald was sitting by the bed, his eyes bloodshot."You're awake." He reached for my forehead. "How do you feel?"I flinched away from his touch."Is that proof enough?" My voice was a rasp. "My innocence?"Reginald froze, then gave a bitter laugh."Rosabella, just stop," he sighed, the sound utterly exhausted. "Leo is three years old. He saw you getting whipped and panicked. He said it to save you. You should be thanking him."Thank him? Thank him for framing me, then changing his story when he got scared?I stared at Reginald, and the last flicker of warmth in my heart went out."You still don't believe me.""It's not about believing you or not—""It is!" I pushed myself up, sucking in a breath as the wounds on my back tore. "No matter what the truth is, you will never, ever believe me!"Reginald's face hardened."Fine. Let's say you're telling the truth." He stood up, pacing the room. "But you almost got Felicia killed when

Rosabella's POVA bet? What bet?My hand gripped the doorframe, my knuckles white.In the study, Reginald was silent for a long time."That's all in the past," he finally said, his voice quiet."The past?" Felicia's voice cracked. "Reginald, how can you say that?"Suddenly, she launched herself at him.I watched her stand on her toes and press her lips to his.My heart stopped beating. Reginald took a step back."Felicia, don't.""Why not?" She clung to him. "Back then, I said I liked the Moretti heir. You got jealous. You made a bet with me—""Enough.""You bet me," she purred, her voice laced with venomous triumph. "You said if you could make the untouchable Rosabella Rossi fall in love with you, I would be yours for a night. And you won! You made her fall.""We got together after that. The bet was off," Reginald said calmly. "Felicia, you don't have to—""It was off?" she cut him off. "What about now?"She kissed him again.This time, Reginald didn't pull away.For a terrible, stret

Rosabella's POV"Impossible." Reginald rejected Felicia's idea without a second thought. "I will not let the world think Rosabella did anything wrong."Felicia froze, a flicker of rage in her eyes.But I had already pulled out my phone and dialed our family lawyer."Marcus, I need you to release a statement immediately." My voice was calm. "Announce that the marriage between Reginald Falcone and myself is null and void, effective today.""What?" Reginald spun to face me. "Rosabella, what are you doing?""Solving the problem," I continued to the lawyer. "Send it to all media outlets within the hour.""Rosabella!" Reginald tried to grab my phone.But I had already hung up."It's the best solution," I said, looking at him. "Isn't it?"Reginald's face turned to stone."I didn't agree to—"Felicia was secretly gloating, but on the surface, she was still dabbing at her tears."Thank you, sister! You're so good to me!""Let's go." I picked up Leo. "It's time to go home."Reginald followed us,
