Sarah began to notice the subtle changes in Aisha’s behaviors.

Aisha no longer moved around the house like someone trying to remain invisible. The first morning she stepped into the kitchen without waiting to be called, greeting the house staff with a hesitant but respectful “good morning,”

Sarah had paused at the doorway, watching silently. It wasn’t just the greeting that caught her attention, it was the effort behind it.

Aisha had clearly rehearsed it in her head before saying it out loud.

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 229: The Stranger in the House

    The sound of footsteps coming down the staircase slowly drew everyone’s attention.Sarah appeared at the top of the stairs, one hand lightly resting on the wooden rail as she descended.Her nightgown flowed softly around her legs, the morning light from the tall windows catching the delicate fabric as she stepped down.Her hair was loosely arranged, slightly messy in the way someone’s hair looked after just waking up, yet there was still a calm authority in her posture.The moment she reached the last step, she paused.Her eyes scanned the room.The tension in the air was thick enough that even someone who had just woken up could feel it immediately. Her gaze first settled on James, who stood stiffly beside the staircase, his jaw tight and eyes burning with restrained anger.Then her gaze shifted slowly toward Aisha, who still stood a few steps away, arms folded calmly as if nothing unusual had happened.For a brief second, Sarah’s brows drew together.She clearly sensed something had

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 228: Early Morning Tension

    Morning arrived quietly in the Williams residence, the early sunlight slipping through the wide glass windows and settling gently across the polished floors of the living room.The house was unusually calm that morning, though Annabel couldn’t quite place why she felt a strange tension hanging in the air.Perhaps it was because of what she had seen the previous night. Or rather… what she had not meant to see.The housemaid, Annabel, had been awake long before the sun fully claimed the sky. It was part of her routine. By the time most people in the house were still buried in sleep, she had already finished cleaning the kitchen counters, washing the remaining dishes from the night before, and wiping down every surface until it shone.Now she had moved on to the living room, a feather duster in hand as she carefully cleaned the shelves and glass center table.Just as she bent slightly to straighten a decorative cushion on the couch, the soft sound of footsteps descending the staircase re

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 227: The Night of Passion

    For a few seconds, neither of them moved.Sarah stood by the open doorway of her bedroom, her fingers still resting on the handle, while Magnus remained frozen outside with his hand raised halfway in the air.The moment felt strangely unreal, like two people who had been caught in the middle of doing something they themselves had not fully planned.Their eyes locked.Sarah recovered a little faster than he did. A quiet breath escaped her lips as the shock slowly faded from her face.Then, without saying a word, she began stepping backward into the room, slowly and carefully.As though she was pretending none of this had been intentional.Magnus understood the silent invitation immediately.He lowered his raised hand, glanced down the quiet hallway as if to confirm no one was watching, and then stepped inside.Just as quietly.The door closed behind him with a soft click.For a moment, both of them stood there looking at each other.The whole scene felt almost ridiculous.If anyone had

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 226: The Unexpected Pull

    The car rolled slowly through the tall iron gates of Sarah’s mansion, the headlights sweeping across the neatly trimmed lawn before the vehicle came to a gentle stop in the wide driveway.Sarah turned off the engine and sat still for a brief moment, exhaling deeply as if trying to release the weight of the day from her shoulders.Beside her, Aisha opened the door and stepped out first, stretching her arms slightly as the cool night breeze brushed against her skin.Sarah followed shortly after.Just as they began walking toward the entrance of the mansion, one of the security men stationed near the front porch stepped forward quickly.His posture straightened respectfully the moment he saw Sarah approaching.“Ma’am,” he said, nodding politely.Sarah paused and looked at him.“Yes?” she responded.“There’s someone waiting for you inside.”Sarah blinked.“A visitor?” she asked.The words sounded strange even to her own ears. She instinctively turned her head to glance at Aisha, and the g

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 225: The Closed Door

    Sarah decided to stop by the hospital before taking Aisha home that night. The thought had come to her suddenly as she drove away from the police station.She wanted to see Melissa again, to make sure the girl was truly alright.The doctor had said she was fine, but something inside Sarah still felt unsettled. Perhaps it was simply the chaos of the day refusing to leave her mind.The hospital building came into view sooner than expected. The bright lights of the emergency entrance spilled across the parking lot, reflecting faintly on the polished hood of Sarah’s car as she pulled into a space.They stepped inside together.The reception area was quieter than it had been earlier. A nurse sat behind the counter, flipping through some paperwork while another staff member walked past pushing a trolley down the corridor.Sarah approached the desk immediately.“Good evening,” she said politely but with urgency in her voice. “I’m here to see Melissa. She was brought in earlier today.”The nu

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 224: Shadows Behind the Station

    Sarah drove toward the police station with her mind set on one thing alone. The thought of Aisha spending even a single night behind those cold walls made her chest tighten.The image of the girl being dragged away earlier at the hospital had stayed with her all afternoon, replaying again and again in her head like a stubborn echo she couldn’t silence.No matter what the police said about protocols or procedures, Sarah had already decided that Aisha would not sleep in that place.Not after everything she had done for Melissa.The evening traffic crawled slowly, headlights stretching along the road like glowing beads. Sarah gripped the steering wheel firmly, her eyes fixed ahead while her thoughts ran in circles.She kept remembering the way Aisha had stood there earlier, hands raised in surrender, yet still carrying that strange confidence in her face.The girl had saved Melissa without thinking twice, and for that alone Sarah felt she owed her more than just words of gratitude.She f

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 116: Proof in Black and White

    The car sped through the night, engine humming low and steady as Scorpion drove off on high speed. The city lights blurred past the tinted windows, but inside the vehicle, no one spoke.The silence was heavy, broken only by Sarah’s uneven breathing as she tried and failed to calm her racing heart.

    Spider stood by the window of the guest room, his injured shoulder wrapped firmly in fresh bandages, watching the early morning light creep slowly across the city skyline. The pain was still there, deep, throbbing, a constant reminder of how close death had come but it was no longer enough to keep
