Lahat ng Kabanata ng Regrets Come Too Late: Kabanata 301 - Kabanata 310

"You should head back first," Sierra said, forcing every last trace of emotion out of her mind until all that remained was the task her mentor had assigned her. "I'm staying at the office tonight."Leona wanted to talk her out of it, but Sierra spoke before she could. "We came here on behalf of Origin Games. If we don't even finish the work they gave us, it will hurt the company's reputation.""But if you don't rest, how are you supposed to work and learn tomorrow?" Leona sounded worried."I should be done around four or five in the morning." Sierra checked the time and gave herself a rough schedule. "I can still grab a little sleep."Leona still wanted to say something, but Sierra gently steered her away and sent her off.The mess had started because of Sierra's mistake. She wasn't about to make anyone else carry it with her.Ten minutes later, the whole office building was empty except for her.She turned off every light in the company and left only a single desk lamp on.M

Sierra froze.She felt as if someone had slammed something heavy into her chest."I'm sorry." She thought of how sharp her words had just been. They were indeed quite hurtful."I don't want your apology." John fixed his gaze on her. "I want you to come back. As long as you come back, I'll let you have your way with everything. I won't mind at all, even if you say hurtful things to me every single day."The pressure in Sierra's chest grew worse.John loved openly and indulged without limits, but he was also merciless when he decided to be vindictive.Ding!The elevator opened.John took her to his room. Because of what had just happened, the air between them was quiet and heavy. The atmosphere of the entire room became heavy."Why do you have to support Pamela for the rest of her life?" Sierra knew she was not getting away, so she might as well ask what had been bothering her. "What is this favor you keep talking about?""She saved my life," John answered.He had planned to w

John sat on the couch in the living room, completely composed. When Sierra asked how Tommy was, he only gave a light reply. "He's not out of danger yet.""What did the doctors say?" Sierra asked. She still trusted the private hospital under Henderson Group. It had some of the best doctors in the world, after all. "What triggered the allergy? What symptoms does he have?""I haven't agreed to let them treat him yet," John said, his gaze landing on her.Sierra did not quite understand. "What?"John changed the way he worded it. "Whether Tommy makes it or not depends on whether you're willing to come back to me."Sierra froze for a moment, then quickly understood what he meant."Are you out of your mind?!" This time, she was truly angry. She had never imagined he would use their son as a bargaining chip. "He's your son too! Aren't you afraid something will happen to him?""That's why I left the door open and waited for you to come give me an answer," John said. His voice was as ca

"I just want you to stay with me and not divorce me. I'm not taking away your freedom," John explained patiently.Sierra did not answer.If she wasn't allowed to divorce and had to accept that he would support Pamela for life, how was that any different from losing her freedom?"This goes back to its original owner." John took the black card from his pocket and handed it to her. "I had the design changed. Pamela has never touched this one."In the past, Sierra might have thought he was being considerate down to the smallest detail.Right now, only Tommy mattered to her. How was his condition? How did he get an allergic reaction when they had already reported all his allergies to the camp in advance?A thought suddenly flashed through her. Sierra shoved him away and put some distance between them, her eyes sharp and wary like a cornered animal."Did you have someone cause Tommy's allergic reaction on purpose?"The agreement was prepared in advance.The hospital was refusing to

Sierra still felt a tightness in her chest. With John's resources, finding out the truth behind what happened would not be difficult. But Tommy was just at death's door. She had no idea whether there would be any lasting damage."He has always been healthy. He'll be fine," John said. He saw the worry on her face as she walked over and reached out to pull her into his arms.Sierra shoved him away at once, her eyes full of pure disgust. The way he treated their child's safety like it was nothing made her physically recoil from him."I understand you don't want to touch me, that you hate and despise what I've done." John's gaze locked onto her, heavy with pressure. "But don't forget the agreement you just signed."Sierra's whole body went rigid.John stepped in close, bending toward her until she could see the fine hair on his face. "Tommy is still hospitalized. If I'm not in a good mood, he might not walk out of there alive.""What are you trying to do?" For the first time, Sierr
