Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455

Leo jolted up. Seeing his wife’s furious face, he went pale and scrambled to his feet. “Sophia, please, let me explain…”

Sophia wasn’t having it. She charged at him, tearing her LV handbag off her shoulder and swinging it directly at his head. The bag wasn’t heavy, but she put every ounce of her strength into the blow.

The metal chain whipped across Leo’s face, leaving a stinging red welt. He ducked, throwing his arms over his head in a panic. “Sophia, please!

Just listen to me!”

Instead of stopping, Sophia swung harder, forcing Leo to cower defensively.

When she finally ran out of breath, she pointed a trembling finger at him. “Where is the deed to the house? You listed our home with a real estate agent?! Do you have any conscience left? That is our home! Half of the down payment came from my parents! Who gave you the right to sell it behind my back?!”

Leo huddled in the corner of the sofa, his face crumbling. “Sophia, trust me, I’ll buy the house back! We just need to get through this rough patch and pay off the debt. I’ll work harder, I swear…”

“Liar!” Sophia screamed. “How are you going to do that? If you were actually capable, you wouldn’t have fallen for every single scam out there! If you sell the house, where am I supposed to live? On the street? I

must have been blind to marry a useless coward like you!” Overcome with. grief, she dropped to a crouch, sobbing hysterically.

Warren and Jane watched the scene unfold without moving a muscle. It hurt to see their son attacked, but they knew he deserved it. He needed a

brutal wake–up call.

Sophia furiously wiped her tears. “I always believed in you. You promised me stability. You promised me a better life. Why are you so greedy?! Now

Chapter 455

we’re selling the house just to survive! Is it bad luck, or are you just Theumpetent?! Leo, how are we supposed to survive this?!”

Terrified, Leo collapsed to the floor, his hands trembling as he reached out to wipe her tears. “Sophia, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I didn’t think it through…”

Sophia buried her face in her knees, her entire body shaking. She loved him, but she was completely utterly broken by him.

“Sophia…”

“Don’t touch me!”

“I’m sorry. I’ll find a way to get the house back…”

“We’re getting a divorce.” Sophia stood up abruptly, her bloodshot eyes piercing through him. “Sell the house. Give me my half of the money, and

we’re done.”

“Sophia, no!” Leo scrambled up, desperately trying to stop her.

She didn’t give him the chance. She spun on her heel and stormed out, never once looking back.

“Mom, Dad, are you just going to sit there?!” Leo cried, spinning around in a panic. “She’s going to divorce me! Please, go talk to her! I know I screwed up, but I’ll fix it! I can’t lose her, I love her!”

Warren set his tea mug down heavily. He stood up, looking at his son with profound disgust. “You dug this grave yourself. Figure out how to lie in it. He turned and walked upstairs.

Jane stared at her pathetic son, her lips parting before she clamped them shut. She was too angry to even scold him. If Sophia truly wanted out, Jane felt it was nothing less than karma. She couldn’t bring herself to

intervene.

No woman should be tethered to a man who offered zero hope for the future.

“Mom, Dad, say something! Help me get her back!” Leo pleaded.

“Beg her yourself. We can’t help you.” Jane shook her head, letting out a weary sigh, and followed her husband upstairs.

Leo stood paralyzed in the center of the roorn, looking as if he’d been struck by lightning. He had never imagined his marriage would end like

this.

When Kaia walked through the front door, she found her brother sitting alone on the sofa. He looked hollowed out, staring blankly at the coffee table, which was littered with IOUS and debt collection notices.

“Kaia, you’re here.” Leo locked onto her like a drowning man finding a lifeline. He rushed over, his eyes red and swollen. “Help me. Sophia

wants a divorce.”

Kaia looked at her brother. The usually sharp, well–groomed man had aged a decade in just a few days. His suit was a wrinkled mess, his hair

wild.

He looked entirely broken.

“Your debt collectors cornered me this afternoon,” Kaia stated flatly.

Leo’s head snapped up in sheer horror. “Did they hurt you?! Those bastards!”

“They didn’t hurt me, but they interfered with my life.”

“I’m sorry, Kaia. I’m so sorry. My greed caused all of this. The house is already listed. Once it sells, I’ll clear the debt.” Apologizing seemed to be the only thing he was capable of doing anymore.

“You said Sophia wants a divorce. Can you blame her? With a life like this, she sees no future. Why wouldn’t she leave?”

Leo fell silent. He ran his hands aggressively through his hair, then suddenly slapped himself hard across the face. “It’s my fault. I deserve this. I’m not good enough for her. But I love her, Kaia. You know I chased

Chapter 455

her for three years before we got married. I really love her. I can’t let her

go.”

Watching him–break down in a fit of genuine remorse twisted Kaia’s heart. “If you actually sell that house, your marriage is over,” she warned him.

Leo lowered his head. “What else can I do? I’m at a dead end. Every ‘friend‘ I had is dodging my calls. I can’t borrow a single dime.”
