"Who's the bastard's father?"
His voice was cold. Controlled. His eyes flicked briefly to the paper clutched in her hands before locking onto her face with an intensity that made her stomach drop. Emilia couldn't meet his gaze. Fear rooted her in place.
After all, he was the only man she had ever been with.
"Answer me, Emilia," he demanded, his voice rising just enough to make it sting.
She squeezed her eyes shut, releasing a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. "Our family is waiting for us," she said weakly, grasping for escape.
Marcello cursed under his breath and dragged a hand through his hair. Then, without warning, he stepped forward and gripped her shoulders, as his restraint snapped.
"Answer me," he shouted.
A tear slipped down her pale cheek as her voice faltered.
"I... it's-" Her chest tightened, lungs burning as the truth pressed against her throat. "It's yours."
For a split second, she waited. Hoped. Some foolish part of her still believed he might soften-might recognize the weight of what she'd just given him.
Instead, he stepped closer, crowding her space, forcing her to tilt her head back to meet his glare. Emilia's breath caught involuntarily. His eyes were cold, unyielding, stripped of anything human. A far cry from the man who took her breathe away twelve weeks ago.
"You're a liar."
