Scandal: a secret baby!
Read all about Italian billionaire Rigo Marchesi’s secret love-child with London actress Nicole Duvalle. The biggest bombshell to hit the Marchesi Group could destroy CEO Rigo’s latest business deal. Unless the rumours that the baby scandal will have a fairytale ending are true?
This reporter has the inside scoop on their top secret wedding. From Nicole’s couture dress to their sizzling clinch outside the honeymoon suite. The chemistry might be real, but the question on everybody’s lips is: Is this a union of convenience or one of love?
This is not a game, Nicole.” Rigo’s voice took on a dangerous tone. “I made it clear the last time we met that I am not a man to mess with.”
“I would have been quite happy never to lay eyes on you again.” She narrowed her eyes, the anger she felt finally rising to the surface.
Rigo took a step forward, a half smile breaking across his harsh features. “Now, this is interesting. So far I’ve witnessed Nicole the innocent temptress, followed by Nicole the damsel in distress.” He raised one brow. “But I think this passionately angry version is my personal favorite.”
Nicole was speechless. The idea that they had ever been anything so romantic as lovers was poetic nonsense. Once upon a time she might have thought they shared a connection. That for one night in his bed she had somehow been special.
She had been a fool.
“Rigo, you are threatening to sue me because of gossip that I have no control over.”
“Then why have you not tried to deny it?” he countered.
“My silence is the most you’re going to get. I don’t deal with the press anymore.”
“You will make a public statement that the child is not mine, Nicole.”
She fought the emotion welling up in her chest. It was ridiculous to feel hurt at his words after so long. After all, he had made his position on fatherhood quite clear. But still, a part of her had always hoped he would come in those weeks afterward.
Indignation won out over the sadness, and she stood up a little taller, meeting his gaze head-on.
“I will not publicly tell lies…”
