Chapter 344

Alex raced to the penthouse, his heart hammering wildly in his chest after tracking Sophia's phone.

The fear that she might be in danger fueled his desperation.

Without a second thought, he slammed his foot against the door, splintering it open with a thunderous crash.

But what he saw inside nearly shattered him.

Sophia was on her knees, kneeling before a smug, naked Gilbert, her face facing Gilbert's manhood.

"What the hell is going on here?" Alex's eyes were filled with confusion, the sight shaking him to his core.

Gilbert casually pulled up his underwear, wearing a twisted, arrogant smile. "Ah, it's you again. Did you come to enjoy the view of me and my fiancée?"

"Fiancée?" Alex's voice trembled with disbelief. He turned his gaze toward Sophia, eyes begging for an explanation.

"Sophia, what the hell is this?"

Sophia's head jerked up, panic flooding her eyes. She shook her head frantically, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Alex, please, it's not what it looks like "

Gilbert chuckled darkly, eyes glittering with cruel amusement.

"Why hide it now, Sophia? You came willingly, didn't you? Drinking with me, cozying up to me-wasn't this exactly what you wanted? Since he's here, let him see the truth."

Alex's chest tightened painfully. "So this is why you said you needed me, Sophia? To witness you knelling at another man's feet?"

“I—I didn't—” Sophia stammered, eyes brimming with tears, her heart feeling as if it were splintering into a thousand shards.

She desperately wanted to explain, but the words wouldn't come.

Gilbert's laughter rang out again, harsh and cruel.

"Don't lie, Sophia. Tell him the truth-that we're getting married soon, and you promised you'd pleasure me however I wanted."

"And I clearly remember you just promised me a good blowjob."

Sophia's tears streamed down her face, her soul crushed under the weight of despair.

She wanted to scream the truth-to cry out that she loved Alex, that she never wanted any of this.

But her family's lives were on the line.

Her brother had just been beaten in prison. Her mother was in the hands of Gilbert's men.

What could she possibly do?
