CHAPTER 71: “I told you to stay away from him.”

SOPHIA’S POVThe garden remained the only place that still felt normal since the tension between Damon and Donald started. So I came outside to cool my head with the air that felt calm.However, I didn't expect to find Donald there, sitting on one of the wooden benches, leaning back as though he had nothing to worry about in the world.For a moment, I considered turning back.But he had already seen me.“Well,” he said, a faint smile forming on his lips. “Looks like I’m not the only one who needs fresh air.”I forced a small, polite smile. “I just needed some quiet.”He nodded slowly. “Same here,” he replied. “Though, I doubt I’ll get much of that in this house.”I ignored that. Instead, I moved to sit on the far end of the bench, leaving a noticeable space between us.For a few seconds, neither of us spoke. The only sound we could hear was the wind brushing through the trees.Then he broke the silence. “You are different from what I expected,” he said.I turned slightly to look at hi

CHAPTER 72: Why is it hard to say?

DAMON’S POVI had been seated in my study for over an hour, yet I could not concentrate on the reports in front of me. The same page remained open, untouched.“I can handle myself.”“I am not something you own.”Sophia’s words kept replaying in my head. To say I was hurt would be an understatement. But she was right, though.We are only married for a short term, and I do not think I have any right to say she is mine or that she should not speak to anyone. However, as long as she is under my care, should I not protect her?I leaned back in my chair, exhaling slowly as I ran my hand through my hair.‘Why am I feeling this way?’‘Why am I being insecure?’I closed my eyes briefly, trying to steady my thoughts. ‘Why is this bothering me so much?’A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts.“Come in.”The door opened slowly, and Sophia stepped in.I straightened slightly.“Are you busy?” she asked gently.“No,” I replied, even though I had been pretending to be for the past hour.Sh

CHAPTER 73: “I LOVE YOU”

DAMON’S POVDays have passed, but nothing has changed. The house was no longer producing arguments, yet it was not peaceful either. It was too quiet to be called a home.Sophia and I barely spoke at home, and even in the office, where we used to share small conversations in between tasks, there was now nothing but silence.We always have our differences, but, no matter how tense things got, we always found a way to say sorry.But now, neither of us was willing to take that step, and it was tearing something apart between us.I noticed everything. Even the things I tried not to notice. The way she avoided being alone with me. The way she spoke to me only when necessary. The way her eyes lingered sometimes, but quickly looked away.And then, there was Donald, who was everywhere.Sometimes, I would walk into the living room and find him playing with the children, Hayden and Kayden laughing loudly, Hailey clapping happily.And for a moment, they wouldn’t even notice I had come in. That a

CHAPTER 74: “You have no idea what you do to me,”

SOPHIA’S POVThe moment Damon said those words, my entire body went still.“I love you, Sophia. And I do not want to see you with any other man.”For a few seconds, I could only stare at him as though I had heard wrongly, because this is Damon Graham… the same man who always hid his feelings behind cold expressions and silence. The same man who acted as though nothing could ever shake him.And yet, right now, standing in front of me, he looked vulnerable. His eyes held mine so intensely that my heart began beating wildly against my chest and it made me swallow hard.“You… love me?” I asked softly, almost afraid that if I spoke louder, the moment would disappear.“Yes,” he replied immediately, breathing heavily as though he had finally released something he had kept buried for too long. “And I cannot pretend anymore.”Water still dripped slowly from my hair down my shoulders, while the towel wrapped around my chest suddenly felt too thin beneath the way he was looking at me.He was not

CHAPTER 75: “Because I was the man you had the one-night stand with.”

SOPHIA’S POV“There is something I need to tell you.”The moment Damon said those words, something inside me tightened immediately that it made the softness in the room suddenly change.Just a few seconds ago, everything had felt warm and peaceful. I had been lying against his chest listening to his heartbeat while his fingers played gently with my hair.But now, the dim light from the bedside lamp fell across his face, and I saw how tense and nervous he looked, and almost as if he were afraid of something.I moved slightly on the bed, adjusting the blanket around my body, while Damon quickly sat upright. “What is it?” I asked softly.Damon did not answer immediately. Instead, he exhaled deeply and looked away for a moment. That alone made my heart beat faster.Then, he sat up slowly on the bed, resting his elbows on his knees while dragging his fingers through his hair in frustration.I had come to know this side of him. Whenever Damon could not find the right words, he touched his

CHAPTER 76: “What am I supposed to do now?”

SOPHIA’S POVI could still hear Damon’s voice behind me as I walked out of the room.“Sophia…”But I did not stop. If I stopped, I felt like my head would explode.My chest felt unbearably tight as I hurried downstairs, holding the blanket firmly against my body. The entire mansion was quiet now, unlike earlier when the children had been running around noisily before bedtime.Only the sound of my hurried footsteps echoed softly through the hallway.My breathing was uneven by the time I reached the kitchen. I quickly grabbed a glass cup with shaky fingers and poured water into it.But even before drinking it, Damon’s words echoed inside my head again.“I was the man you had the one-night stand with.”My hand trembled violently, and the glass almost slipped from my fingers.“No…” I whispered to myself weakly.I drank the water quickly like it would somehow calm the storm inside me, but it did nothing. Nothing at all.My mind kept replaying everything repeatedly;The tattoo. The paintin

CHAPTER 77: “Sophia will forgive you.”

DAMON’S POV“If she tells you to give her time, then be patient with her,” Mom said calmly over the phone. “I understand her pain as a woman, Damon, so it is better to let her have enough time to think deeply about everything. Especially after the way she helped settle the issue between you and Donald the other day. She will come around. Do not worry.”I exhaled tiredly and rubbed my forehead.“Alright, Mom. Thanks.”After ending the call, I dropped the phone beside me and leaned back on the edge of my bed.After Sophia left the kitchen earlier, I did not know what to do with myself anymore. My head was a complete mess, and the only person I could think of talking to was Mom.At least she already knew the truth. She knew about the DNA test, and I already told her that Hayden and Kayden are my children.And somehow, she understood both Sophia and me perfectly.I shut my eyes briefly until a knock suddenly came from the door. Before I could even respond, the door opened and Donald walk

CHAPTER 78: “EX drug addicts cannot attend church?”

SOPHIA'S POVI remained on the bed for a few seconds, staring quietly at the ceiling while the soft morning light slipped through the curtains. Then suddenly, loud laughter echoed from downstairs. Unlike Damon’s room which is soundproof, others aren't. So I can hear loud sounds from downstairs.“Daddy! That is wrong!” That was Kayden.Another voice followed immediately. “You are tightening it too much!” Hayden.A smile spread across my lips before I could stop it.I pushed the duvet away gently and slipped out of bed. After freshening up quickly, I opened my wardrobe and brought out a simple cream-colored gown for church. As I dressed up, the noise downstairs only increased, and I shook my head, smiling.“What are they doing this early in the morning?”The moment I stepped out of my room and began descending the staircase, my steps slowly came to a stop.Damon was in the middle of the sitting room, kneeling in front of Hayden while trying unsuccessfully to button the little boy’s sh

CHAPTER 79: Another strange woman?

DAMON'S POVI could not even remember the last time I stepped into a church willingly. It was not as if I did not believe in God.I did. I just never really found myself attached to church activities after my father's death. Life became too bitter too quickly, and before I knew it, work became the only thing I cared about.But today felt different. And for the first time in years, I actually wanted to be there. Not because somebody forced me, but because of my family.My family.The word still sounded strange in my head sometimes, yet it felt right at the same time.As I sat in the cathedral with Sophia and the children beside me, I could not deny the peace settling inside my chest. Hailey rested on my chest while the twins sat proudly beside me, occasionally whispering into each other's ears and giggling.Every few minutes, I found myself staring at Sophia again and again. And every single time she caught me.“You should focus on the sermon,” she whispered softly without looking at m

CHAPTER 80: “My father threatened to kill my baby.”

SOPHIA'S POVI stood there completely frozen. My ears heard the words clearly, yet my mind refused to process them.“I am your mother.” The woman held my hands tightly as tears rolled uncontrollably down her cheeks.“Believe me, Sophia,” she cried emotionally. “I am your mother. I gave birth to you.”I stared at her blankly.No. No, this had to be some kind of mistake. My chest tightened painfully as confusion swirled inside my head.Before I could even react properly, Mother Rose suddenly stepped between us and forcefully removed the woman's hands from mine.“What are you talking about?” She snapped angrily. “Sophia is my daughter, and you cannot just appear out of nowhere to claim to be her mother.”The infirmary suddenly became tense, with everybody watching silently.I swallowed hard and finally found my voice. “You are not my mother,” I said slowly, but my voice trembled despite how hard I tried to sound strong.I pointed toward Mother Rose immediately. “This is my mother.” She l
