The Day Scarlett Moretti Died
“She’s tried sixty-six times and still hasn’t given me one. I can’t let the DeLuca bloodline end with me. Once you have the baby, everything will settle down. Scarlett will accept it. She always does.”
I listened to the whole thing only once.
When it ended, I sat there in silence, and for the first time in a long while, I felt nothing at all.
The next morning, when Adrian came home, I kept my eyes closed and pretended to be asleep.
He showered, changed, waited for the cold to leave his skin, and then slid into bed behind me.
“Scarlett.” He kissed my hair. “I drove past the estate earlier. There were white lilies and roses all over the entrance. Did you have the decorators start already?”
