A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 6

The man in the photo was Benson. The caption read, "Having someone I love to celebrate my birthday with, is such a blessing."

The diamond ring on Sophie's hand was the very one Sierra had spent years dreaming of, the one she had imagined on her finger. And now, the man she had loved with all her heart was standing beside another woman.

She wasn't going to keep humiliating herself anymore. If Benson and Sophie truly loved each other, then fine. She would let them have each other.

Sierra turned off her phone and wiped the tears slipping down her cheeks.

"This time, I'll break up with him completely. No loose ends, no more connections. I'm done," she whispered firmly to herself.

…

At Oceanea Starline Media, Benson hadn't slept a wink the night before.

He kept picking up his phone and scrolling through it repeatedly, but no matter how many times he checked, Sierra did not reply.

When he arrived at the office early in the morning, his mood was already sour. Learning that Sierra had taken the morning off only fueled his irritation.

It wasn't until the afternoon when he heard that Sierra had returned to work that his frustration finally began to ease.

"See? She's still going to come back and apologize to me," he thought smugly.

But since she'd dared to throw a tantrum, she'd better be ready to face the consequences.

After going home to change clothes and having lunch with Madison, Sierra finally arrived at the office. But instead of seeking out Benson, she headed straight to the director's office to finish up the work she'd been handling.

A knock sounded on the door, but Sierra didn't look up. "Come in," she said evenly.

The door opened, and Benson stormed in, his face dark and thunderous. Sophie trailed behind him, meek and silent, like a shadow.

When Sierra didn't rise from her seat to greet him as she usually did, the irritation Benson had been barely managing to keep in check flared back to life.

He strode up to her desk, rapping on it twice.

"Do you need something?" Sierra asked calmly.

Her indifference made Benson's temper flare. He grabbed the pen from her hand and hurled it to the floor with a loud clatter.
