My Marriage Was Built on Lies Chapter 22
The crowd broke into screams and scattered in all directions. Dust rose into the air as everything dissolved into chaos.Daniel’s expression hardened, instinct taking over.“Move! Everyone, get the women out!”At his shout, one of the attackers cursed and rushed forward, eyes bloodshot, knife raised.Daniel reacted instantly, twisting to the side and grabbing the man’s wrist, forcing him down.Sophie caught sight of the blade flashing in the light, and the memory of those forty cuts came rushing back.Her whole body began to shake. Clutching Leo tightly, she stumbled backward and tripped over a stone, falling hard to the ground.The second attacker saw his chance. His expression turned vicious as he lunged straight at her, knife in hand.There was no time to dodge.Sophie could only hold Leo close, shut her eyes, and brace herself.A muffled groan sounded behind her.She turned in disbelief.The knife was buried in Daniel’s lower back.In that split second, he threw himself over her

Sophie turned to leave, only to walk straight into a broad, solid chest.Adrian stood there, a faint smile at the corner of his lips as he took the things from her hands.“Come on, we’re short on time.”Had he overheard her confession?Sophie froze, letting him guide her into the car.The ride was smooth, but she sat stiffly, not daring to lift her head.After a long pause, she finally managed to speak, “Dr… Dr. Hayes… when did you get here?”His voice was calm, and warm.“I heard everything you just said.”Her breath caught. “I didn’t mean it like that…”“I did.”He cut her off, his tone steady and sincere.“I want to officially be with you. I want to be in that kind of relationship that leads to marriage, not something fleeting.“Sophie, I know you’ve been hurt. But I’m not Daniel. Once I choose someone, it’s for real. There’s only you. “No messy past, no other attachments. And I’d treat your child as my own.“Will you give us a chance? If we’re right for each other, I’ll make it of

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

Not long after Sophie returned home, Daniel came back as well.He set a tin of expensive baby formula and a box of high-end supplements on the table, then pulled three hundred dollars from his coat pocket and pressed it into her hand.Sophie lifted her eyes, calm and distant. “What is this? Compensa

The man was vicious. Sophie turned back, fear and despair written all over her face.But Daniel didn’t see her tears.He was frantic. “What are you waiting for? Go! Can’t you see Clara’s already hurt?”His voice dropped. “Sophie, you’re my wife. It’s your responsibility to look out for others. I’ve
My Marriage Was Built on Lies Chapter 7
In the days that followed, Clara often claimed she wasn’t fully recovered and ordered Sophie to cook for her.She made Sophie carry her bag when she took the baby out for walks, and when she slipped out late to play cards, she left the baby behind and made Sophie watch him, warning her not to tell D
