His Choice Wasn't Me Chapter 163: A Dinner Night Cut Short
Midway toward Andrea's table, Sarah halted abruptly.It wasn't deliberate at first. Her feet simply refused to carry her any farther, as if her body knew something her mind was still desperately processing.She turned slightly, her gaze drifting back to where Daniel and Melissa stood frozen beside the table they had just left behind moments ago.The shock on their faces spoke louder than any words could have. Daniel's brows were drawn together in alarm, his body half-leaning forward as though ready to run after her at any moment. Melissa's lips were parted, eyes wide, caught between fear and confusion.For one brief moment, it looked as if Sarah might change her mind. As if she might turn back, return to her seat, gather her dignity quietly and pretend she had never seen anything at all.Daniel's voice trembled. "Mum…"The word reached her, soft and pleading.Sarah's fingers curled into her palms tightly. She inhaled sharply, straightened her shoulders with deliberate resolve, and tur
His Choice Wasn't Me Chapter 162: A Question of Forgiveness
Daniel noticed it immediately; the pause that came too long, the way his mum’s fingers tightened slightly around her cutlery before she relaxed them again. Sarah had always been composed in moments that unsettled others, but this was different.This wasn’t a boardroom or a courtroom. This was a table with two children watching her, waiting for something only honesty could give.She cleared her throat softly.“Yes, child,” Sarah said at last, nodding once, as if the movement itself helped steady her. “I forgive your parents.”Melissa stared at her, eyes searching, sharp in a way that didn’t belong to an eight-year-old. She didn’t smile. She didn’t relax. Instead, her brows drew together slowly.“Then why,” she asked quietly, “did you still press the case?”The words were calm, but they landed hard.“If you forgave them, why did you still do something that made them taken away from me?”The restaurant noise faded for Sarah. The clink of plates, the low hum of conversations, even the sof
His Choice Wasn't Me Chapter 161: A Brother’s Breaking Point
It started with something small. Too small to matter on any other day.Melissa had taken Daniel’s charger without asking. By the time he noticed, his phone was already blinking red, the battery dying as he tried to reply an email from his school tutor in London.He found the charger plugged beside Melissa’s bed, her tablet resting comfortably on her pillow as she lay on her stomach, legs kicking lightly in the air.“Melissa,” Daniel said, trying to keep his voice even. “Why didn’t you ask before taking my charger?”She shrugged without looking at him. “You weren’t using it.”“I was,” he snapped. “I just stepped out for a minute.”“I needed it,” she replied, still not looking up.That was all it took.“Everything isn’t always about what you need,” Daniel said sharply, yanking the charger out. “You can’t just take things like that.”Melissa finally turned to him, eyes narrowing. “You’re not my dad.”The words landed like a slap.Daniel froze. For a split second, he saw his father’s face
His Choice Wasn't Me Chapter 160: The Cost of Protection
Sarah stood by the kitchen counter, absently stirring a cup of tea that had already gone cold, the spoon clinking softly against the ceramic.Outside, the evening light filtered softly through the glass doors, casting long shadows across the living room floor.Melissa was upstairs, humming faintly as she arranged her schoolbooks, a sound that still surprised Sarah every time she heard it.Normalcy had begun to return in fragments, fragile but real, like delicate pieces of glass slowly being fitted back together.Daniel sat at the dining table, his laptop closed in front of him, elbows resting on the polished surface. He had been watching his mother for a while, studying her movements, before he finally spoke."Mum," he said quietly, carefully.Sarah turned. "Yes?""I heard you on the phone earlier."She didn't ask how much he heard. She already knew. "I was speaking to the school administrator," she said calmly, setting down her cup. "I'm thinking of transferring Melissa. Somewhere mo
His Choice Wasn't Me Chapter 159: Tiana Moves in Shadows
Sarah sat across from Barrister Emmanuel Briggs in his private office at Transcorp, her posture straight and deliberate, her hands folded tightly on her lap.She narrated the visit from Mrs. Cole; the whispers, the fear in the woman's eyes, the careful refusal to name names even when pressed. She described how this was not the first attempt, not the second, but the third time quiet forces had tried to undermine her authority under the guise of corporate concern, each effort more sophisticated than the last.She reminded the lawyer how the two Uncles of late Mrs. Julia Augustine – Lord Benedict Augustine and his brother, Henry, were still in prison up till now, serving their terms because of this same plot to undermine her authority. She wondered if these two could still have a hand in this plot.As she spoke, her voice remained even, controlled, but Briggs could hear what she wasn't saying: exhaustion layered beneath control, the weight of constant vigilance wearing her down increment
His Choice Wasn't Me Chapter 158: When Children Ask Dangerous Questions
Sarah was halfway through reviewing a quarterly performance brief when the soft knock came on her office door. She looked up, slightly irritated, then straightened when she saw who stepped in.It was Mrs. Adesuwa Cole, one of the oldest executive staff at Transcorp. She had been with the company long before Sarah ever took the seat she now occupied. Her grey hair was always neatly packed, her dressing conservative, her loyalty, until proven otherwise, assumed solid.“Do you have a minute?” Mrs. Cole asked, already closing the door behind her.Sarah gestured to the chair opposite her desk. “Of course. Sit.”But Mrs. Cole didn’t sit. She stood instead, fingers clasped together, eyes darting briefly toward the closed door as if checking whether it was truly shut. That alone made Sarah’s chest tighten.“Is everything alright?” Sarah asked.Mrs. Cole lowered her voice. “Do you know what’s been going on lately in the office?”Sarah frowned. “Going on how?”There was a pause. A deliberate on
