Chapter 273: The visit
"What I’m trying to say is, you didn’t possibly ’not do’ anything to me simply because moral says so, there was something else. What was it?"
When she posed her question, Remo remained still for a while, peering into her eyes with such intensity that she thought he’d bore holes through her head. She shifted her gaze from his intimidating ones and began to fumble with her bag.
"You called another man’s name while we were at it, no matter who it is, even if it’s a one-night stand, no one feels good when their sex partner calls another person’s name during sex—in our case, it was during foreplay."
After he had spoken, Stella felt a chill course through her bone marrows, rousing her moment of embarrassment once again. There was every possibility that the name she had mentioned was Matteo, in fact, there was no disputing the fact. She closed her palms over her face, attempting to hide her shame. Remo, on the other hand, was not finished.
"Personally, I would not care about whoever it was you were calling in your moment. However, the person’s name you called, Matteo, turns out to be my brother."

Remo’s chauffeur dropped her off safely at her home, and now, she was in her room, sitting at her dressing table and facing her mirror—still in a daze about the last-minute conversation that they had.
Somewhere inside me, I had hoped that I was wrong...but once again, my expectations were shattered. She thought to herself with remorse singing through her being. Moments later, her mind began to try out certain kinds of thoughts, causing her to shake her head vigorously in denial.
"No, no, no, no, no, what the actual fuck!" She yelled to herself, closing her hands over her ears and shutting her eyes.
"I can’t believe I was with Matteo’s brother." She said to herself once again, shock and disbelief still evident in her tone. However, when the thought came to her mind, the memory of the last moment she had sighted Matteo came flooding her mind once again, filling her with that unimaginable pain that had driven her to go and get a drink, which led to her discovering his brother. One interesting event onto the other.
Today was still a workday, which meant she was expected at the office. However, she was still not cut out to show up before him since she was still healing from the moment of truth that she was presented with last night. She sighed and got on her feet, looking around her room in search of her phone. When she finally spotted it, she placed a call to Matteo.
