THIRD PERSON’S POV
Damien looked down at his daughter as the driver moved.
Her small face looked pale from crying too much, and her tiny body shook weakly in his arms.
“Daddy...don’t leave me...” she whispered.
His wolf became conflicted immediately. One side of him still screamed to go see Sophia. The other side could not ignore Ashley crying in his arms like this.
Tiffany gently rubbed Ashley’s back while looking at Damien. Her voice sounded soft when she spoke again.
“She’s been looking for you all night,” Tiffany whispered quietly. “She wouldn’t calm down no matter what I did.”
Damien remained silent.
The entire drive back to the villa felt suffocatingly silent. Ashley remained asleep against Damien’s chest while Tiffany sat quietly beside him. Several times, Damien almost told the driver to turn around and head toward the hospital instead.
But each time he looked down at Ashley’s tear-stained face, he forced himself to stay seated.
Maybe Sophia truly was asleep already. Maybe he was overthinking everything.
Maybe tomorrow would be fine.
But deep inside him, his wolf refused to believe that.
Meanwhile, inside the hospital room, Sophia lay weakly against the bed while Bianca adjusted the blanket around her body.
Sophia’s face looked pale. Bruises covered her arms and neck, while fresh bandages wrapped around several parts of her body. Even breathing felt painful now.
Her wolf whimpered weakly inside her.
Bianca clenched her jaw angrily while staring at the injuries.
“I still can’t believe they did this to you,” she muttered bitterly.
Sophia forced a weak smile.
“What’s there not to believe?” she whispered hoarsely. “They’ve hated me for years.”
Bianca’s eyes became red again.
“You almost died, Sophia.”
Sophia looked toward the dark hospital window.
Outside, rain had started falling quietly across the city. Tiny droplets slid down the glass while the distant city lights blurred softly in the darkness. Everything felt cold tonight....just like her heart.
Her wolf curled weakly inside her, filled with sadness. Sophia slowly picked up her phone from beside the bed.
The moment the screen lit up, a news notification immediately appeared. Her fingers froze.
Bianca noticed her expression instantly. “What happened?”
Sophia said nothing. She clicked the notification. Then her entire body went cold.
The news article displayed several clear photos taken outside the bar earlier tonight.
One picture showed Tiffany fastening Damien’s seatbelt while standing extremely close to him. Another showed Damien carrying Ashley while Tiffany held onto his arm affectionately beside him. Underneath the photos, countless headlines filled the screen.
“Damien Stone Chooses Tiffany Over Estranged Wife.”
“Romantic Late-Night Moment Captured Between Damien and Tiffany.”
“Family Of Three Returns Home Together.”
Sophia stared at the screen silently. Her breathing became uneven.
Bianca grabbed the phone angrily after seeing the photos herself.
“These shameless people!”
But Sophia barely heard her.
At that moment, it felt like someone had reached directly into her chest and ripped her heart apart with bare hands.
Her wolf let out a painful cry inside her.
Even though she kept telling herself she no longer cared about Damien...seeing those photos still destroyed something inside her completely.
While she lay alone in a hospital bed covered in bruises... Damien had chosen Tiffany.....again.
Sophia lowered her eyes. Tears slid silently down her face.
“He really didn’t come,” she whispered weakly.
Bianca’s expression softened with pain.
“Sophia...”
Sophia laughed softly through her tears, but the sound carried no happiness at all.
“I actually waited for him.” she whispered.
That sentence alone shattered Bianca’s heart.
Bianca immediately hugged Sophia carefully, trying not to hurt her injuries.
