id hostility in his eyes, he seethed.
Jason clicked his tongue an
Sophia met his gaze, eyes filled with sorrow. “Stop kidding yourself. I slept with another man, just like your affair with Ada. It’s a fact that can’t be
crased”
Jason’s grip on her chin tightened viciously, and the sharp pain made Sophia wince.
Camila, who stood to the side, cursed Sophia and then turned to Jason Bercely. “Get a divorce! Tomorrow!”
Watching the relief wash over Sophia’s face, Jason realized too late that she was pressuring him through Camila to push for the divorce she wanted. He smirked cruelly and mockingly caressed her pale face. Since you admit you’ve cheated, I don’t need to treat you as my wife anymore. Remember what I said in the car, huh? In a couple of days, I’m having dinner with a client. You’ll accompany him for the night. Use your charm to make sure he has a good time and get that contract signed.”
Even though Sophia had mentally braced herself, hearing him mention again that she should accompany a client for drinks and sleepovers still felt like a knife twisting in her heart. The intense pain spread throughout her body, so hurting that it almost took her breath away. “In your dreams,” she retorted.
A cold laugh escaped Jason as he patted her face twice in a humiliating manner. “We’ll see about that.”
He then released her chin, stood up straight, and turned to Camila. “She’s had four years of luxury. A simple divorce is too easy on her. Since she’s got the looks that can be of value to me, what do you think?”
Camila instinctively wanted to argue but swallowed her words when she met Jason’s ruthless gaze. “Well, she can stay, but you’ve got to explain things to Ada and take good care of the child she’s carrying. It’s a Wilson, you know.”
Jason, with one hand in his pocket, suppressed his anger and regained his icy composure. “I have a plan. It’s getting late; you should rest.
Camila shot Sophia a fierce glare, but thinking of the hellish future for Sophia brought her some satisfaction. She knew Jason was cold and would deal with Sophia’s betrayal accordingly. She’d wait and see.
After Camil exited, Jason’s gaze lingered ominously on Sophia’s belly. “Get a contraceptive pill, he coldly ordered.
In the past two years, he’d been careful not to have a child with Sophia, so keeping a child from another man was even more out of the question.
Hannah by the door hesitated, her fists clenched in conflict before she stepped into the room, nodding slightly. “Mrs. Sophia just finished her period. She’s in the safe phase and won’t get pregnant.”
Jason was momentarily startled, his mind a whirl of irritation as he glanced at the indifferent Sophia. Help her clean up and then take good care of her. She has three days to recover.”
“Yes,” Hannah replied.
Yes,” Hannah replied.
–much like her own life, a fa“ll into the abyss with no sunlight. “Keep it hidden. I’ll be grateful”
Two days later, in the afternoon at Classa Garden. Sophia was sunbathing when Eric approached her
“Mrs. Sophia, Mr. Wilson asked you to get ready. You’re to attend an event at Lust bonight,” said Eric.
Attend an event? Sounds more like entertaining his clients, Sophia thought bitterly.
“May I know which client it is?” she asked.
Eric hesitated, then after a brief silence, he took out some papers from his briefcase and handed them to her.
Sophia reached out to take them, and as she saw the client’s face, her face went ghostly pale, and she began to tremble slightly.
