Chapter 8 - Evelyn Demands An Immediate Explanation For The Betrayal
The heavy oak doors of Luca’s private office swung open without a polite knock or warning chime.
Evelyn stood on the threshold, her face contorted into an ugly mask of rage and wounded pride.
“Are the rumors true, Luca? Do you have secret children with your ex-wife running around Chicago?” she demanded loudly.
Luca closed the dossier slowly, sliding it beneath a stack of financial portfolios with cold detachment.
“It is true, Evelyn,” Luca answered flatly, not bothering to offer any comforting denials or lies.
“After you spent years telling me she was barren and useless! After you married me for a polished image!” she screamed.
“I was wrong about her, Evelyn, and I was wrong about our entire marriage,” Luca confessed without flinching.
