“You were happy in our marriage, Octavia. You can be happy again.”
Because he decreed it?
“It wasn’t a marriage, Alessandro. It was an affair” Her voice thinned and her cheeks burned. It was hard to face the truth. Hard to speak it. “You took three weeks off work and I had a lover for the first time in my life. We did nothing but eat, swim and make love. Of course I was happy. But the minute we returned to reality you set me aside.”
The injury of that slow realization, as their sense of closeness had been eroded daily by neglect, made her voice unsteady. “I wasn’t sharing your life. I was the sex toy you took to bed at night.”
His head went back. “That’s insulting to both of us.”
“You didn’t have any use for me once we were told I couldn’t have sex.” She looked down at her hands, knotting in her lap, then peeled three fingers into a salute that she held up. “Three duty visits,” she reminded him.
He looked away. His grip on the stem of his glass looked as if it would snap the delicate strand.
“Is it any wonder I believed Primo when he said you were cheating?” she added.
“I didn’t even think of other women while we were apart. I only want you,” he said, in a tone that fell somewhere between frustration and fury.
Securing the billionaires’ legacies!

But after a mix-up at the hospital they’re left holding the wrong baby, and their lives are turned upside down in a heartbeat!
