All Chapters of My Con Romance Husband: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Cassidy realized he couldn't force her into the car while she was hysterical. He turned toward the maid standing nervously near the foot of the bed. “Go get a warm compress, hurry! And bring some ice wrapped in a towel just in case!”The maid nodded frantically and rushed out of the room, her shoes squeaking down the hallway.“Ouch...” Sophie whimpered again, rubbing her calf with slow, deliberate strokes.“Hang in there, Babe. Let’s try a warm compress first. It might ease the pain. If it doesn't get better in an hour, I'll call my doctor to come here.”Sophie nodded, letting a few more thick tears slip down her cheeks. She reached out with a trembling hand and took Cassidy's fingers, squeezing them tight. In the middle of all this high-stakes distraction, Cassidy completely forgot about his phone—which was sitting on the bed right behind Sophie's back.“How did this even happen? How did you fall?” Cassidy asked, his brow furrowed with anxiety

Cass burst into laughter, shaking his head. "Maybe! I think I'm the one having the pregnancy cravings!" He pulled her close, pressing a few tender kisses against the crown of her head. He thoroughly cherished his role as her husband, and being with Sophie brought an undeniably genuine joy—unaware that every affectionate reaction from her was a calculated piece of theatrical performance designed to keep him trapped in his own illusion.They didn't have to wait long before being called in to see Dr. Gartain. Just like their previous visit, Sophie was shown ultrasound footage belonging to another woman.Sophie stared at the screen, her expression softening into an image of awe. To Cass, she appeared utterly oblivious to the trick, her heart swelling with happiness at the sight of the healthy baby on the screen. But beneath her wide, innocent eyes, Sophie’s mind was cold and clear. She noted every glance between Cass and the doctor, fixing the precise details of their coordinated farce in

Watching him stand there beside Angelica, a fleeting pang of old sadness brushed against Sophie's heart, but the emotion vanished just as quickly as it had arrived. She deliberately turned her eyes back toward Cass and offered him a soft, reassuring smile."Let's go," she said softly, her voice smooth and completely unbothered.Cass never broke eye contact with her for a single second, acting as if she were the only person in the entire world while treating Angelica as though she were completely invisible."Mm..." Cass gently pulled Sophie away by the arm, leaving Collin and Angelica rooted to the spot in heavy silence. For Collin, watching the two of them walk away arm-in-arm was the ultimate, painful confirmation that he had lost Sophie forever. For Angelica, Cass's open defiance was a dangerous rebellion against the invisible leash she had used to manipulate and control him for so long.The moment they stepped into the privacy of the luxury car, Cass slammed the heavy door shut wit

"Boo..." Sophie murmured as Cass confessed his love, his body slowly entering hers. He leaned down, kissing her deeply to soothe the sharp sting of the moment."I love you... god, I love you," Cass whispered against her lips, consumed by a rush of genuine affection.Sophie tightened her arms around his shoulders, pulling him closer. Beneath the illusion of her soft surrender, her mind was razor-sharp. She knew exactly what game Cass and Angelica were playing, but as the physical reality of his touch washed over her, a dark satisfaction settled in her chest. He thinks he’s using me, she thought, but right now, he is entirely mine."Aahhkk..." Sophie gasped, wincing slightly as her eyes widened.Cass refused to let her pull away, deepening the kiss into something tender and intoxicating. With zero prior physical experience, the intensity of the moment left him utterly spellbound. Sophie leaned into the sensation, letting herself enjo

As a skilled mechanical engineer and machinery designer, Cass easily applied his technical expertise to help Sophie with her work, even if their fields weren't identical. He patiently guided her, showing her how to utilize all the digital drafting equipment in his studio."Is your job similar to mine?" Sophie asked, leaning closer as he sat beside her.Cass smiled and nodded. "More or less. That’s why I suggested before that you find a company that actually knows how to value you."Sophie remained quiet, her eyes tracking his hand as he sketched out a rendering for her. "I never said I wasn't valued there. It's just... maybe my father is never satisfied with my work."She turned to look at Cass, and he met her gaze. He didn't smile, nor did he attempt to deny it."Does it make you happy? Working there?" Cass asked, his pen sliding across the screen.Sophie appeared lost in thought, hesitating to answer. "Hmm... I suppose so...""What actually makes you happy?"Sophie froze for a fract
