Reily, her husband’s lover, isn’t just after his heart, she's after Gianna’s inheritance. And she’ll stop at nothing to get it. But Gianna isn’t the broken woman they think she is. With a dangerous plan of her own, a shocking ally by her side, and secrets that could bring down everyone, Gianna will fight back. Hard. In a world where lies and loyalty blur, revenge is the only game. The question is how far will Gianna go to win?
View MoreMatteo’s arm was slung around Reilly's waist, his laughter echoing through the hallway as they entered the house like a couple of royalty. I stood frozen in the kitchen, the air thick with tension and hurt. They looked so damn happy, and it was like a dagger to my heart.“Look who’s back!” Matteo announced, his voice dripping with pride. “Reily’s here to hang out!”Reily flashed me a condescending smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Oh, Gianna! You’re still here? I figured you’d be long gone by now. I mean, who could tolerate being treated like a maid?”A part of me wanted to scream, but I swallowed hard, pushing down the pain that threatened to spill over. “What do you want, Reily?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.“Just wanted to see how the perfect wife is doing,” she replied, her tone laced with mockery. “Have you been cooking up some magic for Matteo? Or is that just wishful thinking?”I felt the heat rise in my cheeks, anger bubbling beneath the surface. “I’m doin
I barely slept that night time. Luca’s sudden visit rattled me in methods I wasn’t prepared to address. The tequila had dulled my nerves, but it couldn’t silence the nagging thoughts swirling around in my head.Why did Matteo send Luca of absolutely everyone to test on me?Matteo slightly spoke approximately to his brother unless it came to whinge approximately how reckless and irresponsible he was. I’d always suspected there has been more to their strained courting, but Matteo by no means gave me info. Now, Luca suddenly at my doorstep, all worried and easy-talking. Something didn’t add up.By the time morning rolled around, I felt like a zombie, eyes puffy from crying and zero sleep. I stared at myself within the mirror, slightly recognizing the girl looking back at me. Where had I long gone? The Gianna who used to have goals, confidence… a lifestyle that didn’t revolve around Matteo?I didn’t know that female anymore."Okay, Gia. Enough of this shit," I muttered to my mirrored imag
I won't do not forget how long I stood there after Matteo left. Minutes? Hours? Hell, it could’ve been days for all I cared. The silence inside the house was suffocating, urgent down on me like a weighted blanket I couldn’t get out from underneath. I used to assume silence changed into peacefulness. Now, it simply felt like a reminder of the whole thing I’d lost.My phone buzzed on the desk, snapping me out of my pity party. I wiped my face, selecting it up without even looking on the screen. "Hello?""Gianna, wherein the hell are you?" It became Sasha, my high-quality buddy. Her voice turned into sharp, indignant. "You have been purported to meet me at the gym like, two hours ago. Are you severely bailing on me again?"I’d definitely forgotten about that. Honestly, the last issue I wanted to do proper now become sweat it out in a health club, surrounded by means of peppy health freaks. I let loose an extended sigh, pressing my hand to my brow. "I can’t nowadays, Sasha.""Wait, are yo
I stood there, frozen like an idiot, looking at the rattling papers scattered on the table in front of me. Divorce papers. I don’t realize why it surprised me. I suggest, it’s not like I didn’t see it coming. Three years of marriage to Matteo, and it’s continually been like taking walks on glass sharp, painful, and so damn fragile. But now, here I become, stuck inside the place I used to call “our domestic,” though it in no way in reality felt like mine. The afternoon sunlight pouring in from the huge home windows felt like a sort of sick comic story. Warm, stunning… and completely out of sync with the chaos in my head. My arms grazed over the papers, trembling as they touched Matteo’s signature. Bold, very last. He didn’t hesitate. Not one bit. Meanwhile, I stood there, falling aside.I could feel a tear sliding down my cheek, splattering onto the page, blurring his ideal ink. God, it’s reputable now.
