Chapter 26: Rejection and Confrontation

(Sophia’s POV)

In the dimly lit hospital ward, I watched Marcus settle into the uncomfortable chair beside Oliver’s bed. The moonlight streaming through the window cast shadows across his sharp features.

This was my chance. My boldest move yet.

“There’s no spare bed for caregivers tonight,” I said softly, moving closer to him. “We’ll have to share the

space.”

My heart pounded as I reached for his coat. My fingers trembled slightly as I began unbuttoning it.

I had desired him for so long. Six years of regret burned in my chest like acid.

Why had I chosen another man? Why had I gotten pregnant with someone else’s child?

If I could go back, I would never have left Marcus’s side.

My fingers worked on the second button, then the third. Marcus remained still, his breathing steady.

Suddenly, his hand caught mine. His grip was firm but not painful.

“We shouldn’t do this,” he said quietly.

His golden eyes met mine in the darkness. There was no desire there, only careful distance.

He rebuttoned his coat with methodical precision. Each button felt like a rejection stabbing through my

heart.

“Oliver is asleep now,” he said, standing up. “I should go.”

I remained frozen as he walked toward the door. My face burned with humiliation.
