A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 138

"Yes, I once worried and feared that Benson didn't love me. I've experienced all the insecurities that come with love, but none of them ever crossed my bottom line. You told me to use my body and look to win him back—I won't.

"My body will change, and I won't stay young and beautiful forever. Relying on these things won't keep a man's heart. If I love, I want it to be with a man who loves and respects me just the same. Benson and I once truly cared for each other, but he crossed my bottom line. So, I've completely cut him out of my life.

"Sophie, you've never really understood what I meant. You can be with Benson, but only if you both genuinely love each other. But ask yourself—does he really like you? Do you really like him with all your heart, without any hidden motives?"

Her question left Sophie frozen in place, a flicker of guilt in her eyes as she clenched her fists.

"You're the daughter of a wealthy family, born with privilege and blessed with good looks. How could someone like you ever understand the hardships of my life?"

Sophie spoke with self-mockery, her eyes filled with resentment.

Sierra watched her expression, frowning slightly before speaking. "No matter how hard life gets, I would never harm others. What goes around comes around—remember that."

"I don't believe that. I only believe in myself. I'll do whatever it takes to get what I want," she murmured under her breath, her eyes glinting with an unsettling intensity.

"Do as I said. I want to see the proposal in three days."

"Okay."

Benson's voice came from outside.
