Rejected by My Husband, Cherished by the Don novel Chapter 8

Surprise flashed across Stefano's face. He called the maids over and gave them detailed instructions to take good care of me. The gentleness he showed reminded me of the time when he was still pursuing me. He would even personally feed me during meal times.

When night fell, Salvatore didn't try to coax me into sleeping with him like he always did. Instead, he just calmly held me. He kept staring at my flat stomach in a daze.

I wasn't bothered enough to talk to him, so I turned around and closed my eyes, hoping to get some rest.

I was still caught in the haze of sleep when I suddenly felt someone stroke my stomach gently.

"Did… Did you really carry my child here?" Salvatore asked in a low and hesitant voice.

Any traces of sleepiness fled me as I snapped awake immediately. I was nearly overwhelmed with the urge to throw the pregnancy report in his face. However, I knew now wasn't the right time yet. I still needed to weaponize his regret to do other more important things.

It seemed that the Farro brothers' favorable treatment of me frightened Antonia.

On the eve of her birthday, she used the excuse that she wanted to visit me to bring a USB drive to me.

"I bet you don't know this, Regina, but Stef has never touched you even once in all these years," she said smugly as she inserted the USB drive into the computer.

A video of two bodies writhing against each other began playing on the screen. Antonia was being pleasured by the man, and although I couldn't see his face, I could tell that it was Stefano just by listening to his voice.

"You're the only wife for me, Antonia. I feel filthy whenever Regina touches me for even a second. Once you've taken full control of The Rosas, I'll kick Regina to the curb and make our engagement public."

The sounds of Stefano's heavy breathing and Antonia's coy laughter mixed together and echoed around the room.

I could feel an immense disgust churning in my stomach. Even though I had already decided to stop loving Stefano, I couldn't help the way my heart throbbed with pain.

I reached out my hand, wanting to turn off the computer, but Antonia grabbed my hand and stopped me.

She then moved her lips close to my ear and whispered maliciously, "Did you know? Stefano's going to announce our relationship to the public tomorrow. As for you, you'll be nothing more than a mistress who can never see the light.

"Your mother only got to marry Dad all those years ago because she had money. As a result, Mom and I had to live by ourselves on the outside. Now, it's your turn to experience those hard days."

Wanton noises from the video continued to reverberate around the room. I couldn't bear to listen to those disgusting noises for a second longer. I grabbed a chair that was nearby and used it to smash the computer to pieces.
