With a heavy heart, she shoved the letter deep into the recesses of her jewelry box, as if hiding it away could somehow erase its contents. Taking a moment to breathe deeply, she tried to steady her racing thoughts, the weight of the words still echoing in her mind. As she opened the door, she unexpectedly collided with Alina, who was ascending the staircase with an air of purpose. The moment their eyes locked, an icy silence enveloped them, thick enough to cut through.

Sophia felt her heart racing, a wild drumbeat echoing in her chest, but she forced a smile onto her lips, determined to maintain her composure. "Ms. Vance," she began, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside, "Julian is in the study. Would you like to... bring him a glass of warm milk?" Her gaze remained fixed on Alina, scrutinizing her every nuance, searching for any flicker of emotion that might betray her thoughts. Alina's eyebrow arched slowly, her expression shifting from curiosity to disdain as she glanced from Sophia's puffy face to the glass of milk she held.

Then, without warning, a sneer curled her lips, and she hurled the entire contents of the glass toward Sophia. "Splash!" The hot milk struck Sophia squarely in the face, spilling over her hair and cascading down her clothes. "Ah!" she yelped, stumbling back in shock, feeling utterly humiliated. "Are you insane?!" Alina, unfazed by the chaos she had unleashed, smashed the empty glass onto the floor, sending shards scattering like tiny stars across the polished wood. With a look of utter contempt, she sneered, "That's a job for the maids.

Who do you think you are, giving me orders?" Rage bubbled within Sophia, her fists clenching at her sides. "You, how dare you-" she began, but her words were cut off by the sound of Julian's voice. "What's going on?" Julian emerged from the study, his brow furrowed as he took in the scene before him. Alina crossed her arms defiantly, her demeanor unrepentant. "I threw it. So what?" She shot a glance at Sophia, her eyes glinting with malice.

"At least I own up to what I do, unlike some people who resort to dirty, underhanded tricks." With that, she turned on her heel and strutted away, her high heels crunching over the shards of glass, each step echoing like a cruel taunt in the tense silence that followed. Sophia blinked back tears, her heart aching as she looked at Julian, her voice trembling. "Julian, why is she treating me like this..." For a moment, Julian remained silent, his gaze lingering on Alina's retreating figure. When he finally spoke, his tone was unexpectedly detached. "The wedding wasn't completed.

It's normal for her to be upset." He then turned away, dismissing her concerns. "It's not a big deal. Go and clean yourself up." Sophia felt as though she had been struck by lightning, disbelief washing over her. He was actually defending that woman? "I followed you all the way into the study," she said, her voice choked with emotion. "Julian, if Alina truly hates me this much, I should never have come back..." Julian rubbed his temples, his voice softening slightly. "Don't overthink it. She's probably just in a bad mood." "Why is she in a bad mood?

Is it because of me?" Sophia's tears fell like a string of broken pearls, each drop a testament to her pain. "I know I should have never come between you two..." Julian poured himself a glass of whiskey, the amber liquid glinting in the light, and remained silent, his thoughts clearly elsewhere. Seeing his indifference, Sophia's sobs grew louder, her heart breaking further. "Do you not love me anymore?" she cried out, desperation lacing her words. "No one in this world has ever truly loved me.

If you're going to abandon me too, then what's the point of living?" As soon as the words left her lips, she sprang to her feet, making a beeline for the French doors, her heart pounding with a mix of fury and despair. Julian's reflexes kicked in; he reached out, grabbing her wrist just as she was about to flee, causing the whiskey to splash onto the floor in an expensive arc. "Stop it!" he commanded, his voice taut with unexpressed anger. In that moment, Sophia collapsed into his arms, her sobs wracking her body.

"Then can't you be like you were before?" she pleaded, her eyes red and swollen, searching his face for any sign of the love they once shared. "At least punish her a little? The way she treated me today... it really hurt." Julian fell silent for a moment, contemplating her words before finally nodding, a reluctant agreement hanging between them. Just as they approached Eleanor's door, the sharp chime of the doorbell cut through the tension in the air. The butler rushed in, his face pale with concern. "Mr.

Blackwood, there are police outside..." Before he could elaborate, three uniformed officers stepped into the hallway, their presence commanding and serious. Eleanor was already there, standing with an air of calm authority. She wore a silk robe that flowed elegantly around her, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, glowing softly in the dim light. "I called the police," she stated, her voice unnervingly calm, as if she had been expecting this moment. Julian's expression shifted dramatically, a mix of shock and anger flashing across his face.

"Eleanor!" he exclaimed, his voice rising in alarm. Eleanor slowly rolled up her sleeve, revealing the dark, angry bruises that marred her skin. "I'm pressing charges against Sophia for assault," she declared, her gaze unwavering as she looked at the officers. "The evidence is right here." Conclusion In the aftermath of the confrontation, Sophia stood frozen, her heart pounding in her chest as the weight of Eleanor's accusation hung heavily in the air. The room felt suffocating, each breath a reminder of the chaos that had erupted just moments before.

Julian's shocked expression pierced through her, and for a fleeting moment, she felt the fragile threads of their relationship unraveling before her eyes. The warmth of his embrace faded, replaced by the chilling reality that the very person she had sought comfort from was now caught in the storm of her turmoil. As the officers moved closer, she felt the ground beneath her shift, the safety she once found in Julian's presence slipping away like sand through her fingers. Amidst the turmoil, Sophia's emotions swirled into a tempest of despair and regret.

She had longed for acceptance, for love, yet here she was, facing the consequences of a life riddled with misunderstandings and hurt. The tears that had once flowed freely now crystallized into a resolve; she would not allow herself to be defined by this moment. As she met Julian's gaze, searching for any glimmer of understanding, she realized that she needed to reclaim her narrative, to find strength in vulnerability rather than succumbing to the shadows of doubt.
