Donald's POV

The moment I stepped into the hospital room, I saw it. The smile that had been on Sophia's face disappeared instantly. Like someone had flipped a switch. Her expression went from warm and happy to cold and guarded in less than a second.

My heart started racing. Pounding so hard against my chest I thought everyone could hear it. But I kept my face calm. Controlled. I couldn't let her see how nervous I was. How terrified I was of what she might say or do.

I glanced at her father first. I'd known he was Sophia's real father weeks ago, all thanks to Eva who was keeping tabs on Sophia. He was sitting up in bed, looking much better than the last time I'd seen him. The color was back in his face. His eyes were alert. He gave me a small nod, encouraging. Like he was telling me it would be okay.

I nodded back, trying to show my appreciation. He'd let me come here. Let me have this chance to talk to Sophia. That meant something.

Then I turned to face Sophia fully.

She was staring

    Sophia's POV "That's the problem," the doctor said, putting away her flashlight. "You've been pushing yourself too hard. Working long hours, not eating properly, not getting enough rest. Your body finally gave out."She pulled up a chair and sat down, her expression turning more serious. "You need to make some significant changes to your lifestyle. You need to reduce your stress levels. Start eating regular, healthy meals. Get at least eight hours of sleep every night. And most importantly, you need to stop overworking yourself."I nodded, but honestly, I wasn't sure how I was supposed to do all of that. The company needed me. There was so much work to do."I understand," I said. "I'll try to take it easier.""It's not about trying," the doctor said firmly. "It's about doing. Your health has to come first. Otherwise, you'll end up right back here in a hospital bed.""I'm fine, really," I insisted. "I just need to be more careful. But I can't just stop working. The company—""Sophia."

    Sophia's POV I woke up slowly, my eyes opening to the familiar sight of the bedroom ceiling. The morning light was streaming through the curtains, soft and warm. I turned my head slightly and saw Donald sleeping beside me, his chest rising and falling peacefully. A smile tugged at my lips. Waking up next to him still felt new. Still felt special. Even though we'd been back together for a few months now, every morning felt like a gift. But then I noticed something else. Heat. My body felt hot. Too hot. Like I was burning from inside out. I shifted slightly, trying to get comfortable, but the movement made my head spin. A wave of dizziness washed over me, making me close my eyes for a second. What's wrong with me? I took a breath, trying to shake off the feeling. I have an important meeting this morning. Investors from overseas were coming to discuss a potential partnership with the company. I'd been preparing for weeks. I couldn't be sick. Not today. I pushed myself up to

    Donald's POV My jaw clenched. "What job?"Laura's eyes fixed on Sophia, ignoring me completely. "You're lucky those cops showed up when they did. Another hour and you would have been nothing but a bad memory. And you know what? When I get out of here, and I will get out eventually, you better watch your back. Because I'll make sure you suffer, you dumb bitch.""You're not getting out," I said firmly. "You're going to rot in here for what you did."Laura's attention snapped back to me, her expression shifting to something almost amused. "Oh, Donald. Still playing the hero? How cute. Tell me, does it make you feel better? Does it help you sleep at night knowing you 'rescued' her?"I took a breath, trying to keep my anger in check. "Why, Laura? That's what I came here to ask. Why did you do all of this? The fraud, stealing my jewelry, kidnapping, destroying my company. Was it really just about money?"Laura leaned back in her chair, a smirk on her face. "You really want to know?""Yes."

    Donald's POV The car moved smoothly through the city streets, heading toward a place I never thought I'd willingly visit. The prison. I glanced at Sophia in the passenger seat. She was looking out the window, watching the buildings pass by, but I could see the tension in her shoulders."Are you nervous?" I asked.She turned to look at me, a small smile on her lips. "A little. But I think I need to do this. We both do."I nodded. She was right. This wasn't just about confronting Laura. It was about closure. About facing the person who'd caused us so much pain and then walking away from it all. Moving forward."I still can't believe she did all of that," Sophia said quietly. "The fraud, the kidnapping, trying to destroy your company. All the while pretending to love you."My hands tightened on the steering wheel. "Yeah. I was a complete fool.""You weren't a fool," Sophia said gently. "You trusted someone you thought cared about you. That's not being a fool. That's being human."I look

    Sophia's POV The shock on Donald's face was immediate. Like I'd slapped him. His eyes went wide and his mouth opened slightly, but no words came out. He just stood there, frozen, looking at me with this expression that made my chest hurt.I could see the hurt in his eyes. Real, genuine hurt. Not the fake kind that some people put on when they want sympathy. This was different. This was raw and honest and it cut right through all the walls I'd built up over the past month.The room had gone quiet. Everyone was watching us. Waiting to see what would happen next. The cheerful birthday atmosphere had disappeared, replaced by this heavy tension that made it hard to breathe.I looked at Donald, and something shifted inside me.For the past month, he'd been trying. God, he'd been trying so hard. I'd seen it even though I'd pretended not to. The text messages I'd ignored. The calls I'd sent to voicemail. The flowers that had been delivered to my office every single week. The handwritten note

    Sophia's POVOne month later…The elevator doors opened and I stepped out into the parking garage, my heels clicking against the concrete floor. My feet ached. My shoulders felt heavy. My entire body was screaming for rest.Work has been brutal today. Back-to-back meetings, endless emails, decisions that needed to be made immediately. Ever since I'd taken over more responsibilities at the company, the workload had been intense. But I didn't mind. Actually, I preferred it this way. Being busy meant less time to think. Less time to remember things I wanted to forget.I unlocked my car and slid into the driver's seat, letting out a long breath. The silence felt good after the noise of the office. I started the engine and pulled out of the parking spot, heading home.The drive was quiet. I turned on the radio but barely heard the music. My mind was already thinking about what I'd do when I got home. Maybe take a long bath. Order some takeout, then watch something mindless on TV until I'd
