Chapter 8
Even after reading Sophia’s medical report, the unsettling suspicion wouldn’t leave my mind.[]
Fabian squeezed my hand There, see? Can you trust me now?She’s only my sister.“]
“I’m not some creep. She’s five years younger, you seriously think I will love her?“]
Seeing my silence, he sighed dramatically. “You’ve got to be kidding me. You still don’t buy it?“[]
“What more do you want? I’ve already abandoned a $100 million deal today for your]
He yanked his tie loose with irritation written all over his face. Then his tone switched to apology mode“Dear, I’m sorry.“]
I closed my eyes“I need a minute.Just… some air.“[]
In the emergency stairwell, I stared at my phone, paralyzed with indecision.[]
I would never marry him![]
One of them was definitely lying–Fabian or Sophia.[]
I wanted to help Sophia, but her medical records labeled her as unstable.]
If she was telling the truth, what Fabian did wasn’t just twisted–it was criminal![]
I couldn’t risk telling my father yet. I had zero proof beyond a post and gut feeling.
Plus, with his heart condition, finding out his carefully vetted man boy was actually grooming his own sister might literally kill him![]
As I weighed my options, sobbing echoed up the stairwell.]
“Hello?”
hurried down the stairs and came face–to–face with the last person I expected.[]
Sara–my former assistant who conveniently “misplaced” my pain medication during that typhoon.[]
She’d quit with a vague text two days after that trip.[]
Now here she was, in a high–end psychiatric facility.[]
She quickly wiped her tears“Miss Montgomery.“[]
“What’s wrong?“]
Sara looked away, her expression weirdly stiff. “My dad… he died.”
I squeezed her shoulder“Oh, I’m so sorry.“[]
I pulled out my phone,sent her a transfer.“This might help with arrangements.“]
The notification pinged loudly: “$30,000 transfer complete.“[]
Sara stared at her phone“Why would you… I don’t understand.“[]
My brain was too scrambled to notice her bizarre reaction.[]
As I turned to leave, Sara suddenly blurted out“Wait! I need to tell you something!”
“Tobian showing up in Anglesey wasn’t some hero moment!“[]
“I texted him your location and when you’d be alone… he made me do it.“[]
“He threatened my dad’s job. I didn’t have a choice…“]
“And there’s more…”

After hearing Sara’s full confession, my knees nearly buckled. I gripped the railing for several minutes, trying not to vomit.]
Sara hovered anxiously“Should I call someone? You look like you’re going to pass out.“[]
I shook my head. “I’m calling the police, and you’ll need to repeat everything you just told me, probably dozens of times in court.“[]
“Are you ready for that?“]
After a heavy pause, Sara straightened her spine and nodded firmly:[]
“Fuck yes. Let’s burn him to the ground.“[]
Twenty minutes later, the facility parking lot filled with flashing lights.]
When they cuffed Fabian, his perfect mask finally shattered.[]
His eyes turned feral as he lunged at me, sending a chair flying.[]
“YOU BITCH YOU were so goddamn obedient, how the hell did you–“[
His shouting cut off as three officers tackled him to the ground.[]
When two female officers brought Sophia out, she looked completely shell–shocked.[]
I took off my coat and wrapped it around her shoulders.[]
Softly, I told her “It’s over. He can’t hurt you anymore.“[]
Sophia’s face crumpled instantly.[]
Her body collapsed into silent sobs,years of trapped pain released all at once.[]
