Virginity in second marriages

Chapter 229: This woman is as poisonous as a rattlesnake.

He asked her.

She, without saying anything, merely shook her head, then sank it back into his chest.

Before Cristian arrived, Serena had already calmly analyzed the situation: after all, she had done

nothing, as had Anna Galli. Even if a confrontation was necessary later, she had nothing to fear; in the

worst case scenario, she would take charge of the whole situation and that was it.

Now, however, that Cristian had come running and his black eyes had looked at her extremely

worriedly, a sense of mortification had taken hold of her.

She had therefore come to the conclusion that she could no longer take charge of everything, but

would have to find a way to clear the matter up.

However...if Geneva was really in mortal danger then...they would not get rid of the matter so easily.

A lot of people frowned upon it, and they probably wouldn't have missed the opportunity to make them

pay for it.

"Serena!"

Francesco Rossi came running. He had received Serena's message warning him that something had

happened to Geneva, so he had come in a great hurry, but he never expected, once he arrived, to

witness this scene: his ex-wife lying in the arms of another man. At this sight, Francis exploded with

anger, "You made me come all the way here to show me this?"

At Francis' voice, Serena came to her senses. In front of her was the familiar smell of Cristian; just

before, Serena out of fear had let go of her fantasies...but now she was back to reality.

She made to get up slowly and answer Cristian's question, but someone stopped her by holding her by

the back of her head.

"Go away," Cristian said coldly, as he brought Serena back to his chest with his hand.

Cristian's aura of strength spread throughout the room forcefully investing even Francis, who, evidently

frightened, cast a glance at Cristian and then, in a trembling voice, babbled, "I'm not...it wasn't me who

came, it's that woman...it was she who sent me a message and made me come with a deception."

"Oh yeah?" asked Cristian, lifting the corners of his lips slightly.

Serena, trying to free herself from the grip that held her against his chest, managed to say in a whisper,

"It was me who called him."

Francis then regained his courage, "Did you see that? She admitted it too!"

Cristian's gaze faded slightly as Serena, finally released from his grip, directed his glance at Francis, "I

called you in to take a look at the ER, you didn't forget what I wrote in the message did you?"

Francis then remembered that in the message Serena had written that something had happened to

Geneva, and seeing Serena staring at the emergency room, he understood the situation: "Would you

like to tell me that Geneva is inside the emergency room?"

Serena did not respond, giving Francis tacit confirmation.

Francis then jumped into a rage and turned furiously to Serena, "What have you done? Ginevra is soon

to give birth, how can you be so mean as to raise your hands against her? If something has happened

to the baby, know that I am not finished with you."

Serena, biting her lip, said trying to keep calm, "You don't even know what happened, how can you call

me mean?"

"And do you need to think about it? Surely you must be full of resentment since we divorced, and then

you are envious that Geneva got pregnant, that's why you hurt her. Since we didn't have children in the

past, now you want to kill mine. Serena....never would I have thought you were such a woman, and you

Mr. Cristian...this woman is as poisonous as a rattlesnake, don't be fooled by her."

Having said that, Francis reiterated his point: "Mr. Cristian, you cannot allow such a woman to be

around you, but above all you cannot believe all her lies, otherwise...she will come to a bad end! I am a

living example of that!"

Serena remained silent, swallowing insults and humiliation while constantly biting her lip. What a

bastard!!!

Since they had been married he had never done anything for her, always out to seduce other women,

and now that they had divorced he had even set out to slander her!

But in any case, what worried Serena most was that Cristian might believe what Francis was saying.

So she turned, flustered, a look at Cristian and said, "You must not believe him, things...are not at all as

he says."

Cristian, raising his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth slightly, said in a somewhat mocking tone, Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Woman, how did you in the past not only consider this person, but also marry him and be with him for

two years? And in two years you didn't notice anything? What are you, very naive or very stupid?"

Serena at these words blushed quickly, but she did not even have time to respond, that Cristian

continued in the same tone, "You should tell him about it."

Serena on hearing this was stunned, and she was joined by Cristian himself.

Cristian then looked up at Francis, and, sneering at him, said, "Are you Serena's ex-husband? That

good-for-nothing, who did not contribute to the household expenses, and who also had a mistress?"

Serena looked in amazement at Cristian. She had not expected him to help her stand up to Francis'

offenses, but more importantly...that he knew so much.

That he had...instructed someone to investigate her?

"What are you saying? Don't talk nonsense, Guinevere was not a mistress at all!" said Francis red with

anger at the accusations Cristian had just hurled at him. "It is that woman who is useless, and

moreover as poisonous as a rattlesnake, that's why I left her and remarried."

"When you separated, your lover was already a few months pregnant, and yet you dare to criticize

others?" At the time, it was Luca Russo who had come into possession of Francesco Rossi's records

and, knowing the situation perfectly well, as soon as he heard Francesco criticize Serena, he

immediately jumped up ready to defend her. "You scoundrel you are, for two years you spent money

only on your mistress huh? So after you won the lottery, you couldn't wait to get a divorce. And now you

even have the nerve to speak ill of her. You are a disgrace to all men, woe to you if you continue to call

yourself a man!"

Luca Russo's words were even heavier, so much so that Francis' eyes turned red with anger, "You!"

"You did well to get a divorce. Once free from a good-for-nothing like you, our Miss Serena was

certainly happier."

"By the way," Cristian added in a low voice, a smile on his face, as he touched the still visible bruises

on Serena's neck with his finger. The light and gentle movements of his fingers immediately gave some

relief to Serena's wounds. "In truth I have to thank this good-for-nothing. If it were not for you, I could

never have had such a good wife, could I?" And he said these words turning a gaze full of sweetness

to Serena.

At this moment his eyes seemed like two bright stars in the depths of the sea, and Serena, for a

moment, almost believed his words, but...she soon realized that it was all just an act.

Cristian Ferrari's wife could not be disgraced like this.

And Cristian also had to safeguard his prestige.

Serena then also let out a sweet smile, "Oh yes, I too have you to thank for the divorce. Had it not been

for you, I would still be suffocating in a sea of misery and misfortune, and I would have foolishly

continued to be fooled by you."

Then with both arms she grabbed Cristian around the neck and leaned even closer to him, "I have you

to thank for my being able to find such a good husband."

"You...," Francis Rossi never imagined that the two of them were able to put on such an idyllic family

picture in front of him and, from anger, took his head in his hands without being able to say anything.
