Riley POV
The moment I stepped toward the cameras, the shouting became louder.
Questions came from every direction.
“Riley, did you sleep with Luca while working as his nanny?”
“Are you confirming the relationship?”
“Did the children know?”
“Was Bianca used to hide you?”
“Do you regret becoming involved with your stepbrother?”
That word again.
Stepbrother.
They used it because it sounded more scandalous than the truth.
Luca’s hand tightened around mine.
Not enough to pull me back.
Only enough to remind me I was not standing alone.
Victoria remained on my other side. Richard stood slightly behind us, close enough that the cameras could see him.
I looked at the crowd.
For a second, old fear returned.
Years ago, cameras had always caught me at my worst.
Leaving clubs.
