Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Chasing Light, Finding Peace - by Rohan Verma** **Chapter 114** A flicker of guilt danced across Mars Wright's face, a fleeting shadow that hinted at the tempest swirling within him.

He had pledged his loyalty to Lydia, promising her a life filled with gifts and affection, yet here he was, having squandered his resources on Autumn instead. The weight of his betrayal gnawed at him relentlessly, sending an icy chill spiraling down his spine. He could already envision the storm that would erupt from Lydia, her fury as fierce and unyielding as a hurricane poised to unleash its wrath. Just the mere thought of it made him wince internally, his heart racing at the impending confrontation.

His gaze drifted toward Autumn, silently pleading for her to intervene, to say something that might ease the tension crackling in the air. Maybe, just maybe, if she truly understood the gravity of the situation, she would extend a gesture of goodwill toward Lydia, a small token that could pacify the brewing storm. But Autumn, with her keen insight, grasped the weight of his look all too well. Yet, why should she bend to his wishes?

In the past, Mars had expertly navigated the tricky waters of his dual life, playing the devoted husband while keeping Autumn blissfully unaware of his clandestine dealings. Now that Autumn had uncovered the truth, did he genuinely expect her to step back? To allow the cheater and his mistress to frolic in their newfound happiness? Not in a million years! Instead of offering a conciliatory gesture to Lydia, Autumn wore a smile that felt like a dagger, sharp and piercing. "What's the matter, Lydia?

Are you upset that your brother-in-law has been generous to me?" she taunted, her voice dripping with mockery. "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the one wielding his credit card," Lydia shot back, her voice laced with venom, each word a bitter pill to swallow. Lydia's expression froze in disbelief, a myriad of emotions flickering across her face. She was acutely aware that to avoid raising Autumn's suspicions, she should be attempting to smooth over the situation. But the bitterness churning inside her was a heavy burden, far too much to bear!

Today was meant to be her moment of triumph, her day to bask in the limelight. Why was Autumn the one basking in glory now? What on earth was wrong with Mars? Why had every promise he made to her ended up in Autumn's grasp? "Are you mocking me, Autumn? What have I ever done to you? Every word you utter feels like a stab in my back," Lydia exclaimed, her voice trembling with emotion. "If you have a problem with me, just say it outright. Why do you have to humiliate me like this?" Autumn countered, her defiance unwavering. "You've already slapped me at the door-wasn't that enough?

Now you have to rub your victory in my face?" Lydia retorted, her frustration boiling over. "I never realized you were such a petty person," Autumn shot back, her tone sharp as a knife. The exchange intensified, Lydia unleashing her frustrations in a torrent, her voice rising with each word, the tension palpable. To any bystander, it appeared as though Autumn was wielding her authority as the elder sister to bully the younger one mercilessly. Mars's heart ached for Lydia, and he instinctively moved closer, softening his tone in an attempt to mediate.

"Lydia, your sister didn't mean it like that. Please, don't get worked up-" "I meant every word," Autumn interjected, raising her chin defiantly, her eyes narrowing as she fixed her gaze on Mars, a storm brewing in her heart. "You both spoil her endlessly. That's why she feels entitled to speak so freely." "Lydia, as your sister, I must tell you: don't ever pull a stunt like this again. Next time, I won't be so forgiving," Autumn warned, her voice firm. Lydia's eyes widened in shock, disbelief washing over her. How dare Autumn threaten her with consequences?

Hadn't she been acting like a lunatic lately, slapping her at will? And that was leniency? What more did she expect from her?! "What gives you the right, Autumn?" Lydia exclaimed, overwhelmed by fury as she abandoned all restraint, lunging toward Autumn, her mind set on revenge, a whirlwind of emotions swirling within her. Mars, sensing the impending chaos, quickly seized her arm, desperation flooding his system. "Lydia, don't do something you'll regret!" he implored, his grip igniting a spark of rage within her. "You're taking her side?

Did you not hear what she just said?" Lydia spat, her anger palpable. Autumn stood there, arms crossed, her pregnant belly a prominent reminder of her status, adding fuel to the fire. "He's my husband. Who else would he side with, you? Lydia, it's time for you to mature. You can't keep acting like a spoiled child. Once you're out of the Lopez family, do you think anyone in the real world will tolerate your antics?" "You dream of being the executive secretary at Cloudbreak Corporation while behaving like this?

You'd better go home and practice for a few more years," Autumn continued, her voice steady. Autumn had always spoken to Lydia with kindness and warmth, but when had she turned so sharp-tongued? Lydia, already simmering with resentment over the auction items, felt her hatred intensify. "Shut your mouth!" she shouted, her frustration boiling over. "Autumn, what gives you the right to lecture me? Don't you know that Mars and I-" Lydia began, but Mars's complexion paled, a wave of panic washing over him, his heart racing.

He quickly placed a hand over Lydia's mouth, pushing her back with urgency, cold sweat beading on his forehead. "Lydia, please, calm down..." While he played the role of the righteous peacemaker, he leaned in close, whispering urgently in her ear, "Lydia, think this through. If you tell her the truth now, with her temper, she could abort the baby and divorce me on the spot. I'd lose half of Cloudbreak, and I wouldn't see a dime from the Lopez Group since it's her prenuptial asset.

Your dream of being a rich man's wife would vanish in an instant!" Mars's voice was barely above a whisper, intended for Lydia's ears alone, his desperation palpable. Though Autumn couldn't hear his words, she noticed the sudden shift in Lydia's demeanor, the way her fury seemed to ebb away, replaced by a flicker of uncertainty. Lydia's priorities were clear: the Lopez Group in Autumn's possession and the status of being Mrs. Wright were all that mattered to her.

After absorbing Mars's warning, no matter how furious she felt, Lydia found herself forcing down her anger, striving to regain her composure. Watching Autumn's nonchalant expression, as if the entire situation didn't concern her, made Lydia's blood boil anew. Mars, noticing that Lydia was about to speak again, felt his patience fraying. He growled softly, thick with warning, "Lydia!" Lydia pouted, resentment etched on her face, but ultimately chose silence, the weight of the moment hanging heavily between them.

Taking a deep breath, Mars suppressed his own rising anger, determined to maintain control. When he turned back to Autumn, his expression had smoothed out into one of calm resolve, a mask to hide the turmoil beneath. "Autumn, you should consider saying less as well. After all, Lydia is your sister." Autumn pressed her lips together, clearly uninterested in escalating the argument with Mars, her thoughts racing. After the auction, a thank-you reception was scheduled, a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos.

The organizers had decided to donate five percent of the auction's proceeds to charity, a commendable gesture from all participants, so they had arranged a dinner party to celebrate. Autumn filled out her address for the auction items to be sent directly to her home, while Mars and Lydia observed her-one with a face etched in pain, the other seething with jealousy, emotions clashing like waves against the shore. Autumn paid them no mind, her spirits lifted by Mars's generosity, her pregnancy making her ravenously hungry.

She brushed them aside, determined to find something to eat on her own, the tension between them fading into the background. Mars was about to follow her when Lydia yanked him into the hallway near the restrooms, her voice a low hiss. "What on earth was that? Why did you buy Autumn so many things? Were you just lying to me all this time?" Mars hastily explained the entire situation to Lydia, the weight of his words heavy in the air. After hearing him out, Lydia's anger only intensified, a fire igniting within her. "You must have been duped by Autumn.

What makes you think she could possibly catch the eye of the CEO of the Bennett Group?" Mars caught the jealousy lacing her tone, and a conflicted expression flickered across his face, torn between loyalty and the truth. "Lydia, I know you have your reservations about your sister, but it's evident to everyone how capable she is." Lydia nearly ground her back teeth to powder, frustration boiling over. So, Autumn's talents were obvious, but hers were invisible? Who did he think he was looking down on?! "But you promised you'd buy me things!

I don't care; I want what she has!" Lydia insisted, her voice rising. Mars felt a headache brewing, a thunderous pressure building behind his eyes, the weight of their conflict pressing down on him. "Stop making a scene. This party is a golden opportunity to network. I'm going back now." Are you kidding me? Where was Mars supposed to conjure up more funds at this moment? Were these two sisters truly intent on draining him dry, leaving him gasping for air in the chaos of their rivalry?

**Conclusion** In the tumultuous aftermath of the auction, Mars found himself standing at the crossroads of his life, torn between his fierce loyalty to his wife and the suffocating expectations of his sister-in-law. The sharp exchanges between Autumn and Lydia had exposed the fragile bonds that tethered them, revealing a web of jealousy, resentment, and unfulfilled promises. As Lydia's simmering anger ebbed into reluctant acceptance, Mars realized that the peace he desperately sought was not merely about placating the women in his life; it was about confronting the truth of his own choices.

He understood that he could no longer navigate the storm by playing the peacemaker, for the very act of trying to mediate had only deepened the rift between them. Instead, he needed to embrace the chaos and acknowledge the consequences of his actions, for only then could he hope to find a semblance of harmony. Meanwhile, Autumn, emboldened by her newfound confidence and the recognition of her worth, stood resolute against the tide of Lydia's bitterness.

Her sharp words, once a rarity, had transformed into a shield, a declaration that she would no longer be a passive participant in a game dictated by others. As she walked away, the weight of her pregnancy a constant reminder of the life she was nurturing, she felt a flicker of hope amidst the turmoil. The confrontation had revealed the depths of their relationships, pushing her to redefine her role not just as a sister, but as an individual deserving of respect and autonomy.

As the thank-you reception approaches, the complex web of relationships will unravel further, revealing secrets and motivations that could change everything. Will Mars be able to maintain the fragile peace he has created, or will Lydia's fury lead to a confrontation that could shatter their family dynamic? Moreover, Autumn's newfound confidence and assertiveness may provoke unexpected reactions from both Mars and Lydia.

Conclusion In the aftermath of the explosive confrontation, Mars found himself grappling with the realization that the path to peace was fraught with complexities far beyond his initial understanding.

The confrontation had not only laid bare the fissures in his relationships with Lydia and Autumn but had also forced him to confront his own shortcomings. As he stood amidst the remnants of their heated exchange, he recognized that his attempts to play the role of mediator had only served to deepen the divide. The emotional turmoil swirling around him was a stark reminder that true harmony could not be achieved through avoidance or superficial gestures. Instead, it demanded honesty, accountability, and the courage to face the consequences of his actions head-on.
