Matthew dashed out of the house in a hurry but just as he was about to opened the car door, he felt a light pull on his clothes. He turned around and saw Sophie “Don’t go.” Sophie told her “What do you mean Sophie? Can we just talk later? Im in the mist of something urgent.”mathhew told her and anyone could sense the urgency in his voice. “I’m sure you understand what I mean. Am I not better than her?” Sophie added. Matthew brows snapped together “What did you mean by that?” He asked. “You knows that I’m In love with Matthew. Stop acting innocent. I hate that.” “Can we just talk about it Sophie?” “Please don’t go to her. Stay with me Matthew.” “I really love you, you know that from the start. No one knows how to love you better than I do. Why don’t you try and consider me?” Sophie broke into tears “ I’m sorry Sophie but I can’t. I have someone else in my heart. I’m sure you will

Chapter 118 Matthew’s face had no emotions written on it to be read, and he didn’t even look at Sophie. His grip on Sharon’s wrist tightened as he dragged her away, pulling her up the stairs to his room. Sharon tried to pull away, but he was too strong. When they reached the room, Matthew closed the door with force and turned to her, his anger matching hers as he tried to forcefully kiss her. “Stop it. You're hurting me.” She retorted and pushed him back. “I thought you were the one who liked to sleep around,” he said, his words laced with bitterness. Sharon’s eyes widened in shock. “What?” she gasped. “You think I wanted this? You think I wanted to be humiliated like this? You think I wanted to have a child with you just to be treated like this?” Her voice trembled with emotion, and Matthew's expression softened for a brief moment, but he quickly regained his composure. “You’re not the only one who’s been hurt, Sharon,” he said quietly. “I didn’t ask for this either.” Sharon s

Chapter 141Matthew watched Sharon for a long moment, his eyes searching hers. He could feel a strange mix of emotions swirling inside him, but the overwhelming one was relief. She didn't push him away, not like he expected.She didn't yell, didn't accuse him. She was only calm, almost too calm, like she had accepted whatever it was that had happened between them. It was both comforting and unsettling at the same time.He took a deep breath, pushing aside his emotions for the moment. He could already feel the weight of his decision pressing on his chest. "I’ll be leaving soon," he said quietly, standing up from the chair beside her bed. "But before I go…"He pulled a cheque from his jacket pocket, the crisp paper a stark reminder of the distance between them, both literal and emotional. "I want you to take this," he said, his tone firm yet softer than usual. "It’s $50,000. It’s not much, but it’s something."Sharon looked at the cheque, her brow furrowing. She shook her head, her voi
Chapter 140Sharon’s vision blurred as she leaned back against the passenger seat, pain pulsing through her body with every jolt of the car. Ella drove like a woman possessed, her hands gripping the wheel tightly, her foot pressing hard on the accelerator. She didn’t even seem to notice how fast they were going, speeding past streetlights and weaving through traffic. Nothing mattered to her but getting Sharon to the hospital. "Hold on, Sharon," Ella urged, her voice tight with fear. "We’re almost there."Sharon could barely respond. Her head was spinning, and her stomach felt like it was on fire. The pain from Sophie’s blow had only worsened, and she could feel a warmth trickling down her body, blood. Panic set in, but she fought it down, focusing on Ella’s words, trying to stay conscious.The hospital loomed ahead, and Ella barely slowed as she pulled into the parking lot. She rushed out of the car, barely waiting for the nurse to help them before she was ushered into the emergency
Chapter 139Sharon and Ella walked out of the office. She had signed the correct documents, sent them out, and everything had been approved.The project was moving forward, and Sharon was preparing herself for the hard work ahead. This was her chance to take back the company, and she knew she couldn’t afford to relent. The thoughts of what she was about to do made her heart beat faster. She had to keep going. She had to stay strong. But just as they were walking down the sidewalk, Sharon suddenly stopped, her footsteps faltering.Ella noticed immediately, glancing over to her. “What’s wrong?”She didn’t expect it to hit her like this. She touched her belly instinctively, feeling the tightening sensation. The longing, anger, frustration, and that deep yearning. A desire to be near him, even though he was the last person she should be thinking about right now.Ella caught the movement and immediately understood. Her face softened with concern as she stepped closer to Sharon. “Don’t le
Chapter 138Sharon sat back in her chair, her hands steady as she signed the last of the documents that had been sitting on her desk for days. It was a simple task, yet one that had felt like it was looming over her, as if the weight of her recent troubles would stop her from getting it done. But now, she was finally on track. Her signature was swift, confident, and with it, she sent the documents off to their partners.She leaned back, a satisfied smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. The email confirmation came in almost immediately, the message saying it had been approved. Her success was undeniable, and she could already feel the wave of praise building in the air. Not just from her team, but from the shareholders. They had always been watching, and now, they were congratulating her for the success she brought to the company. "Good work, Sharon," came a voice from the doorway. A colleague had stepped in, offering a smile. "Your efforts are paying off.""Thanks," Sharon sai
Chapter 137Aria’s heart pounded as she ran through the streets, clutching her bag tightly to her side. She didn’t know why she was running, or why the fear that gripped her chest was growing with each step. But it was there, clawing at her insides, and she couldn’t stop running.Her mind raced as she replayed the events over and over in her head, Sharon’s collapse, her own actions that led to it, and now the crushing weight of uncertainty bearing down on her. She had never been afraid of consequences before. But now, something was different. She couldn’t stop herself from running.By the time she arrived back home, she was out of breath, her chest rising and falling with each heavy inhale. She slammed the door behind her, locking it with trembling hands. Her entire body felt stiff, as if she were trapped in a nightmare that she couldn’t escape. She leaned against the door for a moment, gathering herself, trying to steady the shaking of her limbs. She had to think. She had to make a
Chapter 136The next morning, Aria walked into the office, her mind was already prepared for the chaos she expected to unfold. She’d set everything up the night before, knowing that the humiliation of Sharon was only a matter of time. She had made sure the photoshopped images of Sharon would circulate, ensuring that her reputation would take a hit. The plan was perfect, or so she thought. Everything would be done once she got to find a dramatic scene. She had anticipated a dramatic confrontation, the kind of scene where Sharon would be caught off guard and fall into the trap. Instead, what greeted her was far from what she imagined.As she stepped into the office, she found Sharon laughing, a wide, genuine smile stretched across her face as she engaged with her project partners. The usual tension that Aria had hoped for was nowhere to be found. Instead, Sharon seemed completely at ease, surrounded by people who seemed to enjoy her company. Her laughter rang through the room, and Ar
Chapter 135Aria's grip tightened on the steering wheel as she glanced in the rearview mirror. Matthew’s car was still there, trailing her down the road like a persistent shadow. The thought of him following her made her blood boil, but she didn’t let it show. She wasn’t about to let him get the best of her, not now, not when she had more important things to take care of.Without hesitating, she veered her car off the main road and onto a side street, taking a sharp turn that led her to a nearby church. It was quiet there, peaceful even, and most importantly, away from Matthew's prying eyes. If he wanted to follow her, let him. She wasn’t going to let him ruin her plans.The old stone church loomed ahead as she parked, locking her car behind her as she stepped out. She made sure to keep her pace slow, not wanting to give away the fact that she was intentionally trying to lose him. Her heels clicked against the cobblestone walkway as she walked toward the entrance, the cool night air b
Chapter 134Leo sat quietly across from Matthew, his gaze fixed to his friend, who seemed lost in his thoughts. They had just finished a rather tense phone call with Sharon. Matthew dialed her number, his heart pounding in his chest as he waited for her to pick up. When she finally did, her voice was soft, distant. He was able to hear her voice and that was all he wanted to hear, just a reassurance that she was okay. But despite the calmness in her voice, he knew that it wasn't real.Leo watched the entire interaction in silence, his concern for his friend growing. As Matthew ended the call, Leo couldn’t hold back any longer.“You’ve got to step up your game, Matt,” Leo said, his tone laced with frustration. “I can’t keep watching you like this. You need to do something if you want her back.”Matthew sighed, rubbing his temples as if trying to push away the weight of the conversation. “I know. But I’m not going to rush in blind. I need to figure out what’s going on with her. What’
Chapter 133Sharon watched Tilly leave after handing her lunch, and for a moment, she let her thoughts drift. The office was quiet, save for the occasional shuffle of papers or a soft murmur of conversation. She thought she could finally get some peace, but then a small nagging voice reminded her of something. She hadn’t dropped off the project file on her colleague’s desk yet.“Wait,” Sharon called out, stopping Tilly before she could leave. Tilly turned back, waiting for Sharon to speak. “The file,” Sharon said, her voice calm but with a hint of urgency. “You didn’t leave it on my desk.”Tilly hesitated for a moment, then replied, “I haven’t finished it yet, Sharon. I was just getting your lunch and… I’ll finish the file now.”Sharon nodded, appreciating the quick response but still feeling a slight tension building up in her chest. “Make sure you finish it quickly. I need it on my desk soon.”With that, Tilly nodded hurriedly and excused herself, leaving Sharon alone with her thou
