Mars instinctively recoiled as the officer's arm reached out toward him. His mind was a swirling void, completely disoriented and detached from reality.

As the police arrived on the scene, Autumn emerged from her hiding spot behind Mars, her demeanor resolute. "Officer, I'm the one who called for help. He was trying to take me away against my will, and he even took my phone so I couldn't reach anyone for assistance." The words hit Mars like a slap across the face, his eyes widening in disbelief. "Have you lost your mind, Autumn? I'm your husband! You're actually calling the police on me? Are you out of your damn mind?!" Autumn shot him a glance that was as cold as a winter's night, her eyes devoid of warmth.

That single look felt like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, extinguishing the flames of his anger in an instant. He stared back at her, suddenly aware of the profound transformation she had undergone in recent times. Once, her gaze had been filled with affection and understanding, as if she would forgive him for any misstep he made. But now, those same eyes were filled with a chilling indifference that cut deeper than any knife. It was as if she had pierced through his facade and found nothing but disappointment, extinguishing any flicker of hope that might have remained.

A wave of panic washed over him, leaving him breathless. How could Autumn possibly feel this way about him? Sure, he had shown Lydia a bit more attention lately, but he had always treated her well, hadn't he? In the past, Autumn would have merely been a touch jealous, and he could easily soothe her insecurities. Why was she making such a monumental fuss about it now? Yet, he couldn't ignore the fact that he had been less than gentle with her today. His gaze fell upon her red, swollen wrists, and guilt washed over him. "Autumn..." he began, his voice faltering slightly.

"I honestly just wanted to find someone to help take care of Lydia. I wasn't thinking clearly." "Please, just talk to the officers. Why do we need to create such a scene over something that should remain private between us? Let's not waste police resources. If you don't want to go to the hospital, I can take you home right now. We can discuss everything there, alright?" Mars reached into his pocket to retrieve Autumn's phone, but the police were already watching him closely. Mistaking his movement for a threat, they surged forward and subdued him.

The officers seized his arms, slamming him against a nearby wall. He felt utterly defeated-a far cry from the suave, confident CEO of Cloudbreak he usually portrayed. Panic gripped him at that moment. If this situation escalated, he wouldn't have a leg to stand on. The fallout would be catastrophic, filled with condemnation and scorn. "Autumn, please, I know I messed up. Help me...

I'm begging you..." If news broke that he, the CEO of Cloudbreak, had attempted to force his pregnant wife to care for his mistress-who also happened to be his sister-in-law-he shuddered at the thought of the chaos that would ensue. The internet was merciless, especially toward those branded as cheating scumbags. And if those relentless netizens dug deeper and unearthed the truth about the baby growing inside Autumn, he could only imagine the storm that would follow.

"You can say whatever you need to at the station," one of the officers replied, following protocol as they escorted both Autumn and Mars to the police station. Throughout the ride, Autumn maintained a stony silence, her expression unyielding, completely unmoved by Mars's desperate pleas for assistance. As he realized he had pleaded until his voice was hoarse and she wouldn't even glance his way, humiliation ignited a furious rage within him. "Fine! Make a scene if that's what you want!

Just don't come crying to me for help when Cloudbreak's stock price crashes because of this!" Mars was well aware that Cloudbreak was also Autumn's lifeblood. She would never simply stand by and watch it crumble. To his astonishment, she remained utterly indifferent. "Autumn, what the hell are you playing at?!" It felt like he was striking a pillow-frustration and unease swirled within him, creating a hollow sensation in his gut. A terrifying realization washed over him: he was losing control, and the situation was spiraling toward an outcome he could not bear to accept. "Mr.

Wright, I must insist that you cease yelling at my client," a man dressed in a sharp suit and carrying a briefcase interjected, stepping into the room with an air of authority. He quickly presented his credentials to the police, and once verified, turned to Autumn with a polite smile. "Ms. Lopez, greetings. I am your legal counsel. From this moment on, I will be representing you in this matter. Just let me know what you wish to achieve, and I will ensure it happens." Autumn stared at Lawyer Miller, taken aback. She was certain she had never met this man before.

Just as she was about to voice her confusion, a strikingly handsome face flashed through her mind. At that moment, Lawyer Miller's phone buzzed, and he glanced at the screen before holding it out for Autumn to see. It was a message from a familiar number. [This is my personal lawyer. You'll be fine with him. I'll come get you shortly.] The tone was unmistakably directed at her. In that instant, Autumn realized Owen had orchestrated this. A whirlwind of emotions surged within her. She hadn't anticipated Owen to act so swiftly.

No sooner had she found herself in trouble than he had dispatched someone to assist her. Autumn understood their arrangement was merely cooperative. Even for the sake of the baby she carried, Owen wasn't obligated to go to such lengths. Yet, time and again, he had gone above and beyond to help her. Was he genuinely worried she might reconsider her decision about the pregnancy? [Thanks.] Autumn typed back to Owen using the lawyer's phone, the word feeling stark and insufficient, but she couldn't think of anything more appropriate to say.

Besides, this was hardly the right moment for such a conversation. "When did you get a lawyer? I've never seen him before!" Mars was taken aback when Lawyer Miller appeared. Now, witnessing the easy, familiar way Autumn interacted with him, a surge of anger bubbled up from deep within him. It felt as though a gaping hole had opened in his heart, a chilling wind rushing through it. His skin prickled, as if covered in ants, and a sharp, throbbing pain pulsed at his temples. "Autumn, you better explain yourself!

Dragging me to the police station and getting a lawyer to play along with your little drama-what on earth are you trying to accomplish?!" Mars's composure shattered. He no longer cared about the damage this scandal could inflict on his reputation or the company's standing. All that mattered was the realization that his wife was keeping secrets from him. And that was something he simply could not tolerate. Mars was an incredibly selfish man. If he weren't, he wouldn't have meticulously weighed the pros and cons and chosen to marry Autumn, the perfect, supportive partner.

Nor would he have betrayed her trust with Lydia after achieving success. He was an unabashed egoist. Every action he took was for his own gratification, with little thought for anyone else. His proudest achievement had been convincing Autumn to marry him. He had always been supremely confident, certain that Autumn loved him unconditionally, believing that no matter what transpired, she would always stand by his side. But now, reflecting on her recent behavior, Mars felt a deep-seated fear take root. He finally understood that something fundamental had irrevocably shifted.

Conclusion As the police car pulled away from the chaos of the scene, a profound silence enveloped the vehicle, punctuated only by the distant sounds of the city outside. Mars sat in a daze, grappling with the overwhelming realization that he was losing Autumn, the one person he had taken for granted. The cold indifference in her eyes had shattered the illusion he had built around their relationship, forcing him to confront the painful truth of his selfishness.

No longer was he the confident man who could charm his way out of trouble; he was now a man stripped bare of his bravado, left to face the consequences of his actions. The weight of his choices pressed heavily on his chest, and for the first time, he felt the true depth of his mistakes, realizing that he had not only jeopardized his marriage but also the future of the family he had longed to protect. On the other hand, Autumn's heart raced with a mixture of relief and trepidation as she prepared to navigate this new chapter of her life.

The presence of Lawyer Miller, a lifeline in her moment of desperation, signified a turning point; she was no longer the passive partner in a tumultuous marriage. With Owen's support and the strength she had cultivated within herself, she felt emboldened to reclaim her narrative. As she gazed out the window, watching the world blur past, Autumn understood that her journey toward peace was just beginning. She was ready to confront the reality of her situation, determined to prioritize her well-being and that of her unborn child.

Will he find a way to salvage their marriage, or will his selfishness push Autumn further away? The arrival of Lawyer Miller adds another layer of complexity to the situation, as Autumn's unexpected support from Owen looms over Mars like a dark cloud, hinting at secrets yet to be revealed. As Autumn navigates her newfound legal representation, the chapter will delve into her internal conflict.
