“It’s the truth.”

      Then Robert turned and walked out of the study, leaving the two of them alone again.

      “You’re a fool, Minerva. Did you not think that me marrying you was inevitable?”

      “It never occurred to me that my father would force the issue. He was so... Lackadaisical about me being a single mother. About me returning with a stranger’s baby.”

      “Yes, because he cannot force a man he’s never met to act with honor and integrity. But he would expect it for me. Surely you must have known...”

      “I didn’t think about it,” she snapped. “When Carlo texted me, I panicked. I did the only thing I could think to do. I jumped in front of the cameras. I don’t regret it. Even now.”

      “Good. I’m glad to hear that you have committed to lying in the bed you’ve made.”

      “How long do you suppose we’ll have to stay married? It seems to me that we should be able to have Carlo dealt with in a timely fashion, and even if we don’t... Well, if we can keep up the facade for a long enough amount of time, then surely he’ll fade into the background eventually.”

      He regarded her closely. “Cara, I’m Catholic. Divorce is out of the question.”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
