Chapter 7
“You want to replay the entire engagement party?” Fabian repeated.
He gave me a level look. “Seriously? Why?“]]
I slipped my arm through his, pouting dramatically. “Our dream engagement was completely trashed by your sister’s little stunt. Is this a bit much?“[]
Fabian chuckled If we could just bump up the wedding date?~||
“Baby,are you getting hesitation about marrying me?“]]
I swallowed back the bile rising in my throat and swung his arm playfully. “I want another party And I want Sophia to apologize to me! Period!“[]
Fabian seemed to freeze for a split second before quickly recovering.
His tone turned sharp“Christ, Adeline, you’re really going to pick a fight with someone who’s literally in psychiatric care?~]
My eyes instantly welled up with tears.“So you’ll throw me under the bus to protect your sister?“[]
I’m not asking for something. She turned our engagement into a total shit–show and humiliated me in front of London’s entire social scene.”
“What about an apologize?
I wiped away my tears. “I’m calling Daddy and telling him the wedding’s off.”
Fabian jumped up, gripping my wrist, his tone immediately softening“Okay, okay, my baby. Chill.-]]
“Shell apologize.-]
“But she’s completely unpredictable. If she goes off the rails and hurts you, I’d never forgive myself.“]
“I need to be there when you meet her.“[]
My heart skipped a beat, but I reluctantly nodded in agreement.[]

Sophia was younger than I expected.
“I’m sorry about what happened, Adeline.I didn’t mean to crash your engagement party.“[]
She gave a small bow, exposing the delicate curve of her neck.]
As I stood to reassure her, she suddenly fell to the ground. Her hand caught the tablecloth on the way down, sending coffee splashing across the tile.[]
“Why did you push me,Adeline?!” she whimpered, eyes filling with tears. “I was apologizing!”
I crouched down, quickly whispering in her ear Did you stitch an SOS on Fabian’s underwear?“]]
“If yes, push me away.”
“If no, start crying.”
Sophia froze momentarily, then violently shoved me backward and sneered You think you’re special? You’re nothing!“]
“My brother doesn’t love you!“]]
“He loves ME!”
She thrust out her wrists, revealing a horrifying roadmap of scars–fresh pink lines overlapping white ridges.
Would you bleed for him like this?I terminated his baby when I was eighteen!“]]
“Could YOU do that?!“]]
“COULD YOU?!”
Sophia’s screams echoed off the walls like something from a horror movie.

She spiraled into full psychosis, pounding her head with her fists, words spilling out in a jumbled mess.
I jerked backward in shock, my brain short circuiting. I stumbled away from her.[]
Fabian’s security team immediately restrained Sophia.[]
The family doctor efficiently injected a sedative into her arm–clearly this was not the first time.[]
I sat frozen in my chair as Fabian knelt beside me, visibly rattled Godness!I was terrified she’d hurt you.“[]
“I told you she was unstable,you didn’t believe me.“]
I stared directly into his eyes, searching for any flicker of deception.“She said you love her. She aborted your baby…“[]
Fabian gave a bitter laugh The doctors think she’s built this elaborate fantasy world from watching too much drama movies.“]
“She’s never seen me as a brothe at all.“[]
“If you need proof, we can take her for a medical exam. Her records will show she’s never been pregnant.“[]
His expression seemed genuinely weary This is exactly why I didn’t want you to meet her.“[]

I’ve never cheated on anyone in my life. You know that. After everything we’ve been through this past year, you still don’t trust me?”

Fabian lowered his gaze, his voice serious“Adeline,you really let me down![]
“Tine,” I said abruptly. “Let’s go. To the hospital. Right now!“]
Fabian frowned, but eventually nodded.[]
