The Stolen Life- My Mother Gave My Fiancé to Her Favorite Student novel Chapter 58

Over the next few days, Alex paraded Sophia at every high–profile event in Cresthaven.

She refused designer gowns and glittering jewelry, opting instead for a simple, elegant dress–always in muted tones–with her long black hair worn straight or in a high ponytail, her face bare of makeup. In Cresthaven’s elite circles, she was a breath of fresh air.

Alex publicly showered her with praise, calling her one–of–a–kind, sparking a trend among socialites who mimicked her minimalist style. Designers even drew inspiration from her for their next season’s collections.

To treat Sophia’s partial blindness, Alex spent tens of millions flying in specialists from around the world, assembling a team to consult on her condition.

Her congenital impairment was irreversible, but they devised a plan to prevent further deterioration.

When he learned how limited the options were, Alex snapped. In a fit of anguish and guilt, he did something reckless–so reckless he nearly damaged his own eyes, as if trying to share her pain.

Meanwhile, Emily lay alone in her hospital bed, consumed by a chilling loneliness. She stared at her phone, bombarded with news of Alex and Sophia’s public displays of affection, her heart slowly withering.

It dawned on her that Alex’s love, once reserved for her, could be replicated. He was capable of such wild

devotion for another woman.

Emily visited her comatose brother, Ethan. Three years earlier, a car accident on his way to school had left

him in a vegetative state. Alex had summoned the world’s top medical team, snatching him back from the

brink of death.

But Ethan remained unresponsive, sustained only by machines and medication.

Now, clutching his hand, Emily’s eyes brimmed with tears. “Ethan, I’m leaving soon. Before I go, I’ll make sure

you’re moved somewhere safe.”

“I used to think Alex was my forever,” she whispered. “But I was wrong.”

The words tumbled out, her pain pouring from a place she’d kept buried for too long. It was only after sitting with him for hours that she wiped her tears and reluctantly left the hospital.

That afternoon, she headed to the clerk’s office to file the paperwork–changing her legal residence, removing Ethan from her emergency contact list, and severing the last of her official ties to the Harrington name. Everything would be processed within a week.

Next, she visited the Willowridge Estate, the countryside property Alex had gifted her. She gathered every cherished gift he’d given her–items she once treasured–and arranged for an auction house to sell them. Then, she hired a small law firm to transfer the estate’s title back to Alex.

Finally, she returned to the Skyloft Towers penthouse. She dug out the handmade gifts she’d crafted for Alex over the years–worthless trinkets he’d once adored.

necklace. She’d rather destroy it than let me have it. I just didn’t expect her to throw herself down the stairs to

frame me.”

Alex shot Emily a glance and summoned a maid to tend to Sophia’s wound. “I’ll take you to get that bandaged. I’ll deal with this.”

Moments later, he ordered his bodyguards to drag Emily into the living room.

“Sweetheart, what’s with the attitude?” Alex stood over her, his voice low and dangerous. “I told you not to lay

a hand on her.”

Emily struggled to sit up, blood dripping into her eyes as she glared up at him. Through gritted teeth, she gasped, “She pushed me down the stairs!”

Alex gave a cold, almost amused smile, like he’d been waiting for her to say that. “You’ve been spiraling lately–jealous, reckless, always looking for someone to blame. If you can’t take responsibility, maybe it’s time you learned the hard way.”

“Alex, check the security footage!” Emily pleaded, panic surging as the guards moved in around her.

“There’s no need,” he said coolly. “Sophia doesn’t lie. You, on the other hand, keep crossing the line.”

With a flick of his hand, the butler stepped forward, holding a leather strap.

Emily’s body trembled uncontrollably. Alex’s devotion to his mistress had reached such an extreme.
