Chapter 13

Sofia tried to break away from Finley’s clutches, but his grip was so tight that it almost broke her wrist.

She didn’t want to stay here for another moment, especially since she was alone with the man in front of her. Blood oozed from the needle’s tip and dripped onto the back of her hand, and Finley let go of her, his eyes narrowed.

“Sofia, don’t think that you can manipulate me into letting you go with that pitiful face. I was ready to let you go three years ago, but I didn’t expect you to keep up with your childish antics and come back to me. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to try to play hard-to-get?”

Sofia’s jaw slackened, and she looked incredulously at Finley.

He thought she was trying to seduce him?

She laughed bitterly. Avoiding him was futile, but how could he think she was playing hard to get?

She took a deep breath, her head feeling like it was about to split open, and slowly moved off the sofa, simply ignoring Finley and his ridiculous words.

Sofia brushed against him on her way to the door and hadn’t gone more than a few steps when Finley pulled her back, forcing her to face him.

This time, Finley exerted his strength, his fury apparent. Sofia was forced to sit on his knee as Finley tipped her chin

Those eyes of hers were beautiful, only they no longer had the lovely spirit they had before and looked gray and desperate.

Finley exhaled a breath and leaned into Sofia’s ear. There were words that he didn’t want to say, but he still said them. This woman had driven him crazy.

“Do you hate me that much?”

Sofia looked steadily at the cold, unfeeling face in front of her and didn’t reply.

Finley sneered. “It’s been three years, and you haven’t matured a bit. You can hate me if you want to,” He said through gritted teeth, holding Sofia’s jaw. “But it was your father who killed my family. You are paying for his actions.”

Sofia was surprised. When Finley sent her to prison three years ago, she knew her family regretted their actions towards the Stewarts, but she didn’t know the reasons behind it.

Now, Finley had revealed that her father had killed his family. Her mind was rattled, and she felt a profound sense of helplessness.

If he had told her that three years ago, she might have been heartbroken, but now she felt numb.
