I Was His Secret Wife,Until I Became His NightmareChapter 1

I hid my identity and lived as an ordinary wife with Cesare Delgado.

The day I learned I was pregnant, he spoke without warning: "The Counselor's eldest daughter and I are to be married in three days."

"I'm actually the heir to the Delgado Family. She and I are a proper match in standing. The terms of the alliance have already been delivered to the Marchetti estate, and... she and I have already consummated our union."

When he saw me frozen in place, he added, "I'll set you up in a residence. You and the child will want for nothing."

I stared at him in disbelief. "So I'm to be your kept woman, hidden away for the rest of my life. Is that it?"

Cesare turned his face away. "She's a proper and virtuous wife. As long as you don't cause a scene in front of her, I can give you and the child everything except the name."

A sharp sting hit the bridge of my nose. I never imagined I meant so little to him.

"What if I told you my status could match yours?"

Cesare went still for a moment. Somewhere outside, a car engine idled. One of his soldiers shifted his weight on the gravel. A long silence passed before he spoke.
