A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 11

When Theo heard the phrase "breaking up," his dark eyes lit up slightly.

Right after that, Benson's furious roar echoed from outside the door.

"Breaking up? Ha! Honestly, I've been tired of you for a long time. If you hadn't clung to me so desperately, I wouldn't have looked at you twice!"

He scoffed. "Sophie is gentle and kind, unlike you. You're petty and vicious, and you can't even compare to her little finger! You're dull and stupid. I'd love to see who would ever like you after leaving me!"

Each word that left Benson's mouth felt like a thorn, piercing deep into Sierra's heart. She bit her lip hard and clenched her fists tightly.

So, that's how he saw her. Benson never truly liked her.

"Bastard!"

A chilling voice rang out beside her. Theo's face darkened as he reached for the door. Sierra panicked and grabbed his hand.

"Don't," she whispered, shaking her head gently, her reddened eyes carrying a silent plea.

She was fully aware of how disheveled she looked. The last thing she wanted was to face Benson's disgusted gaze again or see how he shielded Sophie.

Besides, she and Theo were already in a position that would be hard to explain.

Theo's brows furrowed deeply, his fury so intense that it seemed he could pummel Benson without holding back.

How could Benson treat her like this? If he had known things would end up like this, he would never have…

Theo's lips pressed into a thin line. His heart ached at the sight of her pale face, making him momentarily lose his composure.

Only after the noise outside died down did the tension in Sierra's body ease. Yet, she still felt as though she was trapped in an icy cellar, her entire body devoid of any warmth.

"It's fine now. You can leave."

She lowered her head as she spoke and let go of his hand. Then, Theo grabbed her hand in return.
