Julian's eyes widened as soon as the words left the maid's lips.Even though Sophie had said she would be leaving, he didn't expect her to actually go through with it.He exhaled slowly, running a hand through his hair as he tried to shake the feeling away. Sophie had left before. This wouldn't be the first time.Whenever she felt overwhelmed by how he treated her, she would leave for a few days only to return and still beg for his forgiveness.'This was one of those times.' he told himself.Without thinking much about it, he turned and walked toward the stairs, heading to her room to check for himself. He pushed open the bedroom door without knocking, expecting to find some sign that she had simply stepped out.Instead, he was met with emptiness.He had been in her room a few times so he knew how it was supposed to look.What he saw was far from what he was expecting.Everything was in place, almost too perfectly arranged, as though the room had been carefully reset. His gaze moved s

Sophie sat quietly in the living room, her hands resting on her lap as she stared at nothing in particular. The dining table was set a few feet away, the food long gone cold. She had prepared everything hours ago, carefully arranging each dish the way she always did, even though a part of her already knew it wouldn't matter.She kept glancing at the door, expecting him to walk through but hours had gone by and he still wasn't home.She didn't need to check the time to know it was late. The stillness of the night and the dim lights inside the house told her already.Her gaze drifted toward the table again, and a faint, almost bitter smile touched her lips.She had a feeling she knew where he was. Instead of the pain she thought she would feel, she was just numb. Almost like she had been expecting it.Serena was back. Of course, he had to celebrate her return. She was all he had been waiting for all these years.'Everyone must be happy right now.' she thought.Her parents. Julian. Even

Sophie didn't have to turn to know who it was. Her body had already reacted before her mind could catch up.It was that same voice that haunted her for over twenty years.She didn't turn. Not yet. Instead, she looked at Julian. Her heart shattered into a million pieces when she saw the look in his eyes.She couldn't be mistaken.After all these years of trying to make him love her, his heart still belonged to someone else."Serena..." Julian croaked, his lips quivering and his eyes filled with longing.Sophie shut her eyes the moment she heard him call her sister's name, her whole body filled with dread as she turned.Serena stood a few steps away with a wide smile plastered on her face. She looked just as beautiful as Sophie painfully remembered. Composed, elegant, and everything Sophie had been told she could never be."Julian," Serena whispered again, locking eyes with Julian. In that moment, Sophie felt like she was nothing but a stumbling block in their love story. A thorn in the

“Congratulations, Sophie…you’re pregnant.”Sophie stared at her doctor and best friend, Lara, her expression blank as the words sank in. For a second, she wondered if she had misheard. But, Lara’s smile only deepened as she reached out and touched her arm.“You’re pregnant, Sophie.”Slowly, something shifted in her expression. Relief. Disbelief…then a soft smile formed as her hands moved to rest over her stomach.She hadn’t been expecting a child, not with how her marriage was…but maybe this was what she needed to make Julian finally look at her. His family had always wanted an heir so maybe…just maybe he would love her for this.She knew she wasn’t meant to wish for a happy marriage. Not with Julian. Not after everything that had happened…after being accused of stealing her sister’s life.She had been the one who saved his life back then…but he believed it was Serena, and from that moment, his heart had belonged to her.There had been many times she wanted to tell him the truth…but s
