Chasing Light, Finding Peace" - by Rohan Verma 107 Summary In Chapter 107 of "Chasing Light, Finding Peace," the tension between Autumn Lopez and her estranged husband, Mars Wright, comes to a head over an invitation to an auction. Mars, exhibiting arrogance and entitlement, dismisses Autumn's feelings about the invitation he took without her consent. Autumn, fueled by frustration and a sense of betrayal, confronts Mars about his behavior, insisting that he return her invitation.
This confrontation reveals the deep emotional turmoil Autumn is experiencing as she grapples with Mars's shamelessness and their crumbling marriage. As the argument escalates, Mars attempts to downplay the situation, claiming that their marriage gives him the right to take what he wants. Autumn, however, refuses to back down, recognizing that Mars's actions are not just petty but indicative of a deeper disregard for her feelings. This moment serves as a turning point for Autumn, who realizes that she has been manipulated and taken for granted.
The emotional weight of her frustration is palpable as she contemplates the impending divorce, feeling a mix of relief and anxiety about her future. After their heated exchange, Autumn decides to reach out to Owen Bennett for support, feeling both nervous and guilty for relying on him. Owen's calm demeanor and thoughtful responses provide a stark contrast to Mars's arrogance, and Autumn begins to feel a sense of relief as she engages with him.
Their conversation reveals that the auction invitations are name-specific, which sparks a glimmer of hope in Autumn that she might still attend the event despite Mars's interference. This newfound information shifts her perspective, and she starts to see a way out of her current predicament. The chapter concludes with a sense of anticipation as Autumn realizes that Owen may have played a role in the invitation situation. This revelation not only brings her a sense of empowerment but also hints at the possibility of a more supportive relationship with Owen.
Autumn's journey of self-discovery and her determination to reclaim her agency are central themes in this chapter, setting the stage for her potential transformation as she navigates her complicated emotions and relationships. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Chasing Light, Finding Peace - by Rohan Verma** **Chapter 107** On the other end of the line, Mars Wright was insufferably arrogant, his demeanor dripping with entitlement. It was evident that he had been thoroughly spoiled by Lydia Lopez in recent days, and now he was flaunting his newfound arrogance like a badge of honor.
"I gave it to Lydia. Besides, your dress for that night is ruined anyway. If you can't go, then don't go. Just be a good girl and wait for me at home," he said, his tone dismissive. Autumn Lopez felt a surge of frustration bubbling within her, nearly causing her to unleash a string of curse words. Fortunately, the values instilled in her from a young age held her tongue, preventing her from descending into a verbal battlefield. "Give my invitation back," she demanded, her voice steady but laced with an undercurrent of anger.
It wasn't that Autumn was desperately clinging to this single invitation; rather, it was the audacity of Mars and Lydia that irked her. They had taken it without even asking, a blatant act of theft. No, she had resolved that she would never allow those two to take advantage of her again. There was absolutely no way she was letting them have the invitation that Owen Bennett had graciously given her. "If you don't have an invitation, you need to figure it out yourselves or simply not go. You don't steal mine," she asserted, her tone firm.
Mars's face flushed with indignation as her words struck a nerve. "Damn, Autumn, why do you have to make it sound so nasty?" he retorted, irritation evident in his voice. "What do you mean, 'steal'? We're married. What's yours is mine. You're being way too harsh, don't you think?" he countered, attempting to twist the situation in his favor. Autumn could hardly believe her ears. The audacity! She dropped all semblance of politeness. "So being married means you can just take things that aren't yours?" "Did you not have an invitation? Why did you have to take mine?
Who did you give it to?" Mars shot back, momentarily at a loss for words. In the past, he would have boasted about giving it to Lydia without a second thought. But given the recent tensions between Autumn and Lydia, he opted for a lie to dodge the conflict. "I lost mine, so I just grabbed yours," he muttered, attempting to sound nonchalant. "C'mon, it's just one invitation. Do you really have to blow this so out of proportion?" he added, trying to downplay the situation. "Autumn, when did you get so petty?" he asked, his tone incredulous.
She almost laughed at his pathetic attempt to shift the blame. It was him who had stolen her invitation, and now he was trying to paint her as the unreasonable one? Mars had to be the most shameless man Autumn had ever encountered. There was no contest. "I'll say it one last time. Give me back my invitation," she insisted, her patience evaporating rapidly. Each interaction with Mars felt like a drain on her spirit, a complete waste of her precious time. What a total scumbag. She felt a wave of relief knowing that their divorce waiting period was less than a week from concluding.

Otherwise, she feared that this man might actually push her to the brink of a stress-induced heart attack one of these days. "Can you just stop making a scene?" Mars exclaimed, his pride clearly stung by her persistence. He couldn't comprehend how Autumn had transformed from someone who always prioritized him to a woman who now stood her ground, unwavering and resolute. It was just one invitation. Was it truly worth this level of conflict? "I'm making a scene? Mars, you better explain yourself. Who's the one really making a scene here?" she challenged, her voice rising.
"Or would you rather I have someone investigate how my invitation just 'disappeared'?" she added, her tone laced with sarcasm. A vein throbbed on Mars's forehead, his irritation palpable. He was already on edge, grappling with the financial mess Lydia had created by draining his bank accounts. Now, with Autumn adding fuel to the fire, he felt his frustration boiling over. "Autumn, that's enough!" he snapped. "Are you going to call the cops again? Can you just be mature for once and stop fighting me on everything?
What good do you think comes from opposing me?" he shot back, his voice rising in exasperation. "We're a married couple; we're supposed to be a team. And you're going to cause all this drama over a single invitation? Are you going to die if you don't go to the auction?" Truth be told, Mars didn't care whether Autumn attended or not. It wasn't the first time all three of them had shown up at the same event. In fact, if Autumn came, she might even end up footing some of the bills. But the reality was that Lydia had drained him dry. He was left with not a single penny in his account.
Had it not been for Lydia's incessant whining about wanting to go, he would have completely skipped the auction. Just when he thought he had calmed Lydia down, Autumn started stirring up trouble. It was giving him a monumental headache. He was so accustomed to making Autumn bend to his will that he lashed out at her without a second thought. "That's final. I'll take you to the next event like this; big deal," he declared, hanging up the phone as if afraid of the impending explosion from Autumn. Listening to the dial tone, Autumn felt her grip tighten around her phone, her anger boiling over.
"That bastard!" she exclaimed, her frustration spilling out. She had once thought that Mars was simply oblivious when it came to their relationship, his primary flaws being arrogance and an inflated ego. Autumn had believed those were just bad habits he had picked up from his environment-after all, the saying "money corrupts men" held a grain of truth. But as she witnessed his true nature unfold, piece by piece, she began to realize that Mars was, in fact, rotten to the core.
He had simply been adept at masking his true self because he needed her before, maintaining the facade for all those years. Now that he believed she was pregnant-with his and Lydia's child-he couldn't even be bothered to keep up the act, allowing his true colors to shine through completely. Taking a deep breath, Autumn understood that getting angry now was futile. She had hesitated to reach out to Owen Bennett, but time was slipping away. She had no choice but to call him. "Wait for me downstairs," she instructed, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside.
Autumn felt a twinge of nerves, worried Owen might perceive her as a nuisance. However, he responded with just four calm words, "I'll be right there." Her anxiety lifted, replaced by a sense of relief. "Okay," she replied, her heart settling. She made her way downstairs, and within just five minutes, she spotted Owen's car approaching slowly. "That was fast," she remarked, a hint of surprise in her voice. Today, he was driving himself instead of having a driver. "I was already on my way when you called," he replied casually. Autumn let out a small "ah." "How did you know I'd be waiting?
What if I had already left?" Owen shrugged, his expression relaxed. "Then I would've gone straight to the auction house." A pang of guilt washed over Autumn at his thoughtfulness. He was always so considerate, yet it felt like she only reached out to him when she needed something. It made her feel as though she was treating him like a tool, summoning him only when it suited her. "Where's your invitation?" Owen asked, smoothly steering the conversation away from her guilt.
Autumn hesitated but eventually replied, "Mars stole it." Owen raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flickering across his face. "And you didn't do anything?" She lowered her gaze, feeling defeated. "What could I do?" They had the invitation. Even if she confronted them, it wouldn't really affect Mars and Lydia. It would only serve to make her the target of ridicule. And being pregnant, Autumn was in no position to engage in a direct confrontation with either of them. "You didn't notice?" Owen asked, a hint of amusement creeping into his tone.
In contrast to Autumn's frustrated helplessness, Owen's voice held a lightness that was almost reassuring. "This auction's invitations are name-specific." Autumn froze, her mind racing. "Huh?" she managed to ask, confusion evident in her voice. "Name-specific?" she repeated, struggling to comprehend. She hadn't heard anything about that. "The organizers made a last-minute decision," Owen explained, his tone matter-of-fact. Autumn's jaw dropped in disbelief. They could just change the rules like that at the last minute? As realization dawned on her, she turned to Owen, her eyes wide. "Wait...
did you do this?" Owen didn't directly confirm it, but he didn't deny it either. "Just wait. There's a good show coming up." Conclusion In the aftermath of her tumultuous confrontation with Mars, Autumn found herself standing at a crossroads, the weight of her emotions pressing heavily upon her. The anger that had surged within her during the call began to dissipate, replaced by a newfound clarity. No longer was she the submissive partner who allowed Mars to dictate her worth; she was reclaiming her voice, her autonomy, and her right to stand up for herself.
The realization that Mars's arrogance was a reflection of his own insecurities rather than a measure of her value empowered her to embrace her strength. Autumn understood that her journey toward peace would not be without challenges, but with each small victory, she was learning to chase the light of self-respect and independence. As she prepared to meet Owen, a sense of hope flickered within her. His calm demeanor and thoughtfulness stood in stark contrast to the chaos that had defined her relationship with Mars.
The stakes are high, and the emotional turmoil is palpable as Autumn prepares to uncover the truth behind Owen's involvement. As Autumn enters the auction, a whirlwind of emotions awaits her. The atmosphere will be charged, filled with the potential for confrontation and revelations that could alter the course of her life. Will she find solace in the company of Owen, or will their connection be tested by the looming presence of Mars and Lydia?
With the clock ticking down to the end of her divorce waiting period, Autumn must make pivotal decisions that could lead her to either liberation or further entanglement. Readers can expect a gripping exploration of resilience, self-discovery, and the quest for peace amidst chaos as Autumn steps into a world that promises both danger and hope.
