The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 172

"Feally! You have spoken what you truly thought of me." Alex's voice quavered with disappointment.

He forced a wry simile, though hurt was etched across his face.

For the longest time, Alex believed he shared a deep, special connection with Sophia.

He did everything in his power to nurture that bond.

Yet, from Sophia's perspective, there wasn't even a glimmer of true attachment..

It was as if Alex kept trying to construct a bridge out of thin air.

Eventually, every man must recognize when to press on and when to walk away from a futile endeavor.

"Fine, Sophia. I have overstepped my boundaries," Alex admitted, his tone laced with resignation.

"Maybe you're not even worried about Charles drugging your drink. In fact, you probably hoped he would-so you'd have a convenient excuse to get together with him. Am I correct?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Sophia snapped, frowning in anger.

Florance stepped between them, throwing a scornful glance at Alex. "If you already know all that, why don't you step aside? You have nothing to do with our lives anymore so back off!"

Jack sneered, his contempt almost palpable. "Mom, do you really think this loser is willing to let Sophia go? He's just after her beauty and money. He's a freak who doesn't know when to quit! Get lost, you pathetic excuse for a man!"

In that instant, Alex realized Florance and Jack must have known Charles planned to spike Sophia's drink-and had done nothing to stop it.

He could feel himself sinking into a situation he never should have been part of.

Perhaps it was time to accept that his connection with Sophia had reached its end.

One must know when to cut ties and move on.
