Chapter 42

• "If I had informed them of my survival when I woke up in the hospital..." Regrets flooded Sophia's mind as she grappled with the repercussions of her silence, sensing her control slipping away as the truth unraveled. Questioning her decision, she acknowledged the consequences of her actions, a form of karmic retribution for the pain caused by her prolonged silence.
• "You might have been dead for real by now. Who knows what they would have resorted to if they discovered you hadn't perished after the incident that led you off a cliff? You need to confront that reality, Anna. Someone... whether it was Leon, your mother, or a family member with access to your garage, had nefarious intentions for one of you to meet a tragic end. And I doubt it was him," Glenda's tone turned stern as she confronted Sophia, urging her to face the grim truths head-on.
• "I understand, alright? I get that you think I'm evading the truth and refusing to heed your words. It's just overwhelming. I care deeply for those individuals. Processing this is agonizing. Even with him, even now, I hold onto that love, despite the notion that he might have harbored such animosity towards me. They were my family. I was nurtured by them. Never did I fathom that Leon would engage in an affair, leading to the shattering of my world. How am I supposed to digest the possibility that he may have plotted my demise? It feels like I've been living in a naive bubble, only perceiving what I wanted to see," Tears blurred Sophia's vision as emotions surged, her voice strained and choked with emotion. The weight of her heartache and internal turmoil manifested in physical pain, wrenching her chest and tightening her stomach.
