Chapter 1922

Author: Sienna Yates
At that moment, Sharon couldn't deny the truth: In the past, Thomas had helped Kelly purely to toy with her. And she… was only collateral.

He had never considered targeting her seriously. If Thomas had ever turned his full attention on her, she would never have had a chance to rise.

From Victoria's scandal breaking, to the Blakely family's business secrets being leaked, to the cooperation agreement now in Thomas's hands… Every link seemed meticulously planned, each step perfectly interlocked.

    Sharon drew a slow breath, forcing herself to calm the storm inside."Aren't you afraid," she asked, "that after I learn all of this, I'll break up with you?"Thomas's smile was disarmingly bright, harmless even, as if sunlight itself had settled on his face."Sharon," he said softly, "with me… I don't agree to breakups. So breaking up isn't possible."Her expression darkened. Eyes locked on his, she asked, "And if I insist on breaking up? Are you… going to kill me?"Thomas's tone softened further."Sharon, you are the most important person in my world. How could I ever bear to kill you?"He paused for a moment, frowning as though genuinely weighing his next words, before lifting his gaze toward her with a sudden, brilliant smile."Or… I could chain you up, then you'd never escape."Sharon froze, staring at his impossibly handsome face, a cold shiver crawling from her heart to her limbs.Just as she wavered, caught between shock and disbelief, Thomas stepped closer and gently

    Their eyes met, and Thomas's gaze was deep, calm, and unshakable.Sharon no longer felt the panic of being discovered, only the cold clarity that came with knowing the full truth."Why?" she asked, staring at Thomas. "Why would you do this?"His eyes held hers."I hate seeing them always around you, drawing your attention away from me.""Just for that reason," Sharon said, "you'd go to such lengths to manipulate their lives?"Thomas's tone remained steady, almost casual. "They were only small lessons… warnings."Sharon looked at the familiar, exquisite lines of his face and felt a momentary dizziness.After being discovered, he showed no guilt, no unease, not even the slightest hint of regret. He felt no wrongdoing in what he had done.For a moment, Sharon's mind spun.Her suspicions of Thomas had always been limited to his illness. She had sensed that something was off with John and Ginny, but she had never doubted Thomas. Even as people around her started encountering troub

    Carmen glanced at Sharon with a look that carried unspoken meaning, then nodded."I understand. You go ahead and take care of your business first, Sharon."Sharon nodded in return and made her way up the stairs.But instead of returning to her room, she went back to Thomas's study. Without Carmen's earlier hint, she might never have thought to come here again. After all, the study was too obvious a place; after searching once, any rational person wouldn't hide something here again.Sharon opened the drawers, scanning the files inside. They were the same as what she had seen before—nothing new, nothing that Thomas would dare let her see.Her gaze then shifted to the massive bookshelf behind her. Could it be there?She examined the lower shelves, looking for a spot that would be easy to reach. According to Carmen, Thomas checked his records daily to ensure his memories hadn't faltered. That meant he'd need frequent access to the notebook—it wouldn't be hidden somewhere difficult to

    Carmen's voice was calm. "Even if he were to kill me, I'd still tell you everything I know. If you can't handle it, no one else will."Sharon shook her head. "I don't want to give up on Thomas like that."Carmen met her gaze steadily. "It's not giving up—it's saving him."Sharon said nothing.Carmen understood the weight of Sharon's struggle and hesitation. She softened her tone, trying to offer some comfort. "There are still three months. If another solution can be found… maybe…"Her voice trailed off. Carmen, ever rational, could barely continue. The chances of finding a real cure were slim to none.A while later, Dr. Celio arrived.Thomas saw Carmen but remained silent. Sharon had already warned him she would be coming.Carmen exchanged a few words with Dr. Celio and quickly realized the doctor was indeed competent, with genuine skill. During the treatment, Sharon stepped out to avoid disturbing Dr. Celio. Carmen left alongside her.Alone in the room, Thomas sat back in the

    "Thomas never learned to love himself," Carmen said, "So his love for you is unreserved and absolute. But Sharon, you've already experienced life—your heart will never burn as fiercely as his. He wants the same depth of love from you, but it's almost impossible."Under the strain of his illness, he may gradually spiral into extremes. I'm telling you this because, in your world, love may occupy only a third of your priorities—but for Thomas, it's everything. His feelings for you are neither normal nor healthy."When love becomes unhealthy, it must be adjusted, treated. If you truly care for him, you have to learn to let go. I know that's hard—because I know this feeling too well—but you won't die if you step back."If you allow his illness to progress unchecked, he will go mad… and he could die. Do you really want Thomas to become just another tragic rumor in the Ferrero family?"Sharon's long lashes trembled. "A rumor?"Carmen met her gaze squarely, each word deliberate. "Every he

    The next morning, Sharon received a call from Dr. Celio. "I've developed a new treatment plan. I wonder if you're available tomorrow?"Sharon had been fretting over Thomas's condition. Every doctor she'd sent to help—except for Dr. Celio—had declined the invitation. Without hesitation, she agreed.After hanging up, Sharon thought of Carmen.No one knew Thomas's condition as well as Carmen did. Their relationship had always been delicate, and it seemed she still had feelings for him. But compared to Thomas's illness, all of that was secondary. What mattered most was that Carmen genuinely wanted to help him.With that in mind, Sharon called and invited her. Carmen accepted almost instantly, without even checking her schedule.The next day arrived. Carmen had come over more than an hour early. To facilitate treatment, Sharon had set up a dedicated therapy room at home, fully equipped with the necessary devices.After inspecting the space, Carmen nodded appreciatively. "Sharon, you

    Meanwhile, in the private room, Nate was gesturing wildly as he rambled off to Julliard and Kelly."I knew it! She had time to sneak off with some random dude, but not enough to make the medicinal soup for you. Kelly, just wait—Carter's not going to let that housewife off easy."Kelly opened her mo

    As they waited, Sharon and the man who had taken her hostage began to talk—about family, about children, about marriage.He told her he used to have a good life. A gentle wife, a clever daughter. A home filled with warmth. He'd only wanted to give them something better. So he took a risk—invested in

    Sharon tried to push past the reporters, but their encirclement felt like a wall of steel."Sharon, please answer my question!""Sharon—""Sharon—"The voices buzzed around her like a swarm of wasps, piercing her ears.And then, someone shoved her—hard.Caught off guard, Sharon hit the ground w

    Xavier pulled his gaze back, his voice quiet. "No. I just didn't expect you to care so much about Matty."Sharon offered a faint smile. "I imagine if you offered anyone else a hundred and fifty thousand a month to take care of him, they'd put in the effort."Wendy chimed in from the side, her eyes
