Matteo leaned back in his chair, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.
He whispered, " Let's just say....I managed to get my hands on something rather interesting. Something even you wouldn't have expected from that dear husband of yours."
I glanced at the folder as I could hear my heartbeat echoing in my ear. My hands twitched as I swiped my tongue over my dried lips.
I didn't immediately reach for it, but slowly, as I steadied my hand. As my hand reached for the folder and opened it.
It carried a vanilla envelope. I wanted to ask him about it, but somehow I stopped. As my fingers lingered over it, the coldness seared something in me.
Taking the envelope, I glanced at him, "You don't seem like a kind person who offered me help for free?"
His lips curved into a knowing smirk, "That is correct. Nothing in this world is for free."
