Chapter 19
The investigation results and the recovered chat logs were delivered to Matteo’s house the next day.
He had repurchased every single one of Evelyn’s belongings, placing them back exactly where they used to be. Every time he came
home, he could almost fool himself into believing she was still there.
However, there was no coming back. The entire estate was lifeless without Evelyn, as if it had been drained of its soul.
Matteo spent a long time gathering the courage before finally opening the files.
The latest message was from the day Evelyn left. It was a secretly recorded video of him and Rebecca sharing a soft kiss in front of
the piano.
Rebecca had attached a caption. “You probably don’t know this, but this is Matty’s favorite place. I won’t record what happens
next. I don’t think you’d be able to handle it.
“Tell me, do you really think playing dumb helps? How does it feel being the mistress? Well, you’ve been a mistress your whole
life, but hey, if you beg me nicely, maybe I’ll let Matty visit you a few more times.”
The more he scrolled up, the worse it got.
The chat was filled with nothing but mockery.
Countless intimate photos and videos of him and Rebecca were sent just to torment Evelyn.
As for Rebecca’s social media, it was posts filled with public displays of affection that only Evelyn could see.
Rage clouded Matteo’s vision.
But when he opened the folder with the rest of the investigation results, his fury froze in place. His whole body went rigid, his
blood turning ice–cold.
Rebecca had hired the thugs from the auction that night herself.
That night, he had shoved Evelyn to the ground. He had ignored the blood dripping down her forehead. He had even forced her to
drink when she physically couldn’t.
Then, he remembered the sorrow in her eyes and her soft chuckles after listening to his self–righteous accusations.
Matteo’s heart clenched violently.
A second later, it was like something inside him had been ripped open. Pain shot through his chest, sharp enough to leave him
gasping.
“Bring Rebecca here!” His voice was so cold it could have frozen over.
Rebecca was dragged in moments later.
