My Marriage Was Built on Lies Chapter 20
The moment she slipped into her room and shut the door, Sophie’s heart was pounding wildly.Her roommate caught sight of her flushed face and immediately leaned in, eyes sparkling with curiosity.“Sophie, what happened? Were you whispering something with Dr. Hayes? Or is it about that man who suddenly showed up on stage today? Who is he?”Sophie burrowed straight under her blanket. “Don’t ask! Just… not him, okay?”Her roommate tilted her head, thoughtful. “Then it’s Dr. Hayes…”Sophie pulled the blanket over her head, her thoughts drifting.The woman she used to be—the one who scraped by, counting every dollar, shaping her life around a man—would never have imagined she’d one day live a bright and youthful life again.That day, she dragged her battered body out of that wasteland and made it to the train station.Before roll call even reached her name, she collapsed from exhaustion.In her hazy memory, a young man rushed forward, tending to her wounds and bandaging her injuries.His mo

Daniel jerked his head up. “Who are you?”The man stood tall, composed and refined.“Hello, Officer Hart. My name is Adrian Hayes. I’m the troupe’s physician and Sophie’s closest… friend.”The way Adrian looked at him carried open disdain and hostility, while his gaze softened when it fell on Sophie, laced with quiet affection.How could Daniel not see it? The man’s feelings for Sophie, and the blatant provocation toward him, were impossible to miss.He took a steadying breath, wiping away the last traces of his disarray. “This is a private matter between Sophie and me. No matter how close you are to her, you’re still an outsider. I don’t believe you have any right to interfere.”Adrian smiled faintly.“By ‘private matter,’ do you mean chasing down someone who doesn’t want to see you, causing a scene at a performance, and forcing yourself on them without any sense of boundaries?”There was an edge beneath his smile, sharp enough to leave Daniel with nothing to say.Sophie shot Adrian

Sophie fell silent for a moment.So, Daniel still didn’t know about the divorce.Of course. He had never loved her, so nothing about her had ever truly mattered to him.But the Sophie now was no longer the woman who would break down in tears like before.Her expression remained blank as she spoke, as if she were telling someone else’s story.“The reason I disappeared so completely was because I had already passed the audition for an out-of-town performing arts company. “I used the company’s paperwork to file for a court-approved divorce. The decree’s already been finalized. I have my copy.“Yours is probably buried somewhere in a stack of documents in your office, or maybe it never made it to your unit. But whether you know it or not, our marriage is already over.“Congratulations. You can finally be with Clara Bailey and the child you have with her openly.”At the mention of the child that had never belonged to her, a sharp ache still pierced through her chest.“No…”Daniel’s eyes we

Everything happened too fast.One moment Sophie was dancing, the next, a strong hand seized her.“Sophie, it’s really you!”Daniel gripped her wrist like he was holding onto his whole world.“You’re alive! You’re alive! Why didn’t you come back? Where have you been? Do you know I held a funeral for you? I thought I’d killed you…”It had been so long, and he was no longer the man she remembered.The confidence and sharp edge he once carried was gone.Even his eyes, once steady and piercing, now held a hollow kind of confusion.His posture had lost its strength, a slight bend where there hadn’t been one before.And at his temples were streaks of gray.This Daniel felt like a stranger.Sophie knew she might run into him when she came for the performance.But she hadn’t expected this.His sudden intrusion threw the show into chaos. Staff rushed up from below the stage, grabbing him and trying to pull him away.But he refused to let go, his eyes fixed on her like he couldn’t look anywhere e

Clara was rushed into surgery and barely survived.But when she woke, she was no longer herself.She spent her days clutching a pillow, stroking it gently. “Shh… sleep, baby… Mommy’s here. No one’s going to take you away…”Outside the room, a nurse let out a quiet sigh.“She suffered a severe emotional shock, then a concussion. The stress never settled. Her nervous system’s been affected. That’s why…“If she stays, we can try medication and monitoring. There’s a chance she might improve. “Otherwise, she’ll have to be transferred to a psychiatric facility. And if that happens, this is likely permanent.”Daniel watched her through the glass, his expression cold.He didn’t hesitate.“Transfer her. I’ll cover the cost.”They were both responsible for Sophie’s death.For the rest of his life, he would live with that.And for Clara, losing her child and mind, this would be the last punishment he could give in Sophie’s name.After leaving the hospital, Daniel went straight to his superior’s

A sharp crack seemed to go off inside his head.Everything shattered at once.Clara hadn’t made a mistake with her blood type; she had done it on purpose.The realization hit so hard he could barely process it. His jaw trembled, his words breaking apart. “You… what did you say?”Clara’s lips curved. “A hemolytic reaction can kill. I wanted Sophie dead.“But she didn’t die and you were still so concerned about her. Why? So, I let the baby fall, made you believe she was cruel enough to hurt him.”The slap came before he even knew he’d raised his hand.The sound echoed in the room.Daniel’s anger surged—raw and uncontrollable.But beneath it was something heavier.He hated Clara.And he hated himself even more.All these years, he hadn’t seen through her. He had been played, used, blind to it all.They had grown up together.Back then, she had filled his entire world—bright, lively, impossible to ignore.But he had always known she wanted a better life.He worked himself to the bone, cla
