Chapter 271: A Different Man

Sofia’s POV

My head was spinning. It felt like I was trapped in a dream. Rebecca dead? How was that even possible? Was that why I couldn’t reach her for the past few months? When I heard she’d married Damien, I was stunned — because the Rebecca I knew would never do that. She knew I loved Damien too much to ever hurt me like that... speaking of Damien — the door creaked open and he stepped in, looking like he was on the brink of collapsing.

Our eyes met, and I couldn’t recognize the man in front of me... I couldn’t believe this was the man I fell in love with... the kind-hearted, jovial Damien. I couldn’t believe he did all the things he confessed. I glared at him and stood to my feet, moving closer until I stood before him.

"Tell me, did you kill her?"

Damien’s eyes twitched, and I could tell he was hurt by my accusation.

"I didn’t... I swear on my life... I am still investigating her death."

The look in his eyes told me he was telling the truth, but I just couldn’t believe him. My head throbbed as I stood there, staring at the man I once loved. The man I thought I knew. Rebecca was gone... and somehow, Damien—my Damien—was tangled in all of it. I couldn’t breathe. I took a step back, my heart pounding.

"I need to leave," I whispered, turning around.

Behind me, I heard him shift.

"Sofia," his voice cracked. "At least tell me why. I deserve that much."

I froze. He sounded broken. Desperate.

"I loved you," he said, each word heavy. "I never once tried to hurt you. So please... just tell me why you left."

I clenched my jaw and slowly turned around to face him, the pain bubbling inside me.

"No point hiding it anymore," I said softly. "You want the truth? Fine."

I met his eyes.

"I left because I found out we’re related."
