âWho is she?â
The unidentified woman spoke up before Sophia could.
Sophia sneered at her. âWho am I? I was just about to ask who you are!â Then, she turned to Jonathan and demanded, âWho is this woman?â
Jonathanâs gaze darkened as he glanced at the woman next to him. âSheâs Monica Marston.â
âMonica Marston?â Sophia scoffed before turning to the woman. âWhat did you call my husband here for?â
Hearing how Sophia emphasized the word âhusband,â the woman observed her quickly but chose not to respond to her. Instead, she turned to Jonathan. âRemember our agreement. Iâll be off now.â With that, she left the private room. It was clear she had no intention to bother with Sophia.
What the hell? Sheâs ignoring me? Sophia fumed in anger.
âHold it! You canât leave! Are you thinking of running away after getting caught, you b*tch? Dream on!â
Sophia looked livid as she tried to grab Monica. âHey! Iâm talking to you! Why arenât you answering me?â
But before she could touch the woman, Jonathan held her back. This only served to infuriate Sophia even more.
âWhat the hell are you holding me back for? Are you trying to help that b*tch?â she yelled while glaring at him.
âWhat are you talking about? Itâs not what you think!â
âThen whatâs going on between you two? Youâd better explain every single thing, or Iâm done with you!â
Jonathan could only heave a sigh as his wife screamed at him.
âThereâs nothing going on between us!â
âNothing? Do you think Iâm a three-year-old? If there was really nothing between you, why did you meet her behind my back? It has to be because thereâs something shady going on! I didnât think youâd end up being so despicable as you age!â
Jonathan sighed. âThereâs a reason I came to see her, but itâs not what you think.â At this moment, he wasnât quite sure how to explain himself either.
âItâs not what I think? Then what could it be? Youâve been caught red-handed and youâre still trying to defend yourself?â
âLetâs go home. Iâll explain everything.â
âFine! Letâs go home. Iâll call both your sons over, and youâre going to explain everything in front of them too. If you donât, itâs over between us.â
Jonathanâs gaze instantly turned dark upon hearing about Evan and Davin. âNo. They canât find out about this!â he growled.
Sophia scoffed. âOh? Are you afraid of looking like an idiot, Jonathan? Did you consider this before getting caught? Well, if you had the guts to do it, youâd sure as hell better own up to it.â
âWhat? Itâs not because Iâm afraid of looking like an idiot! Itâs becauseââ
âBecause what? What other reason could there be? All you do is come up with excuses!â
Jonathan gazed at his furious wife and sighed in exasperation. âYou donât know who Monica is, nor do you even know why she came looking for me. Sheâs Sam Marstonâs daughter.â
Sam Marston?
Sophiaâs chest tightened at the mention of that name. That sounds familiar. As she pondered, memories of the past began to surface in her mind.
Sophiaâs expression slowly turned ugly. âSam Marston? Could it beâ¦â
âThatâs right. Itâs that guy.â
Sophia staggered backward upon hearing Jonathanâs affirmation.
She had thought Jonathan was cheating on her, but it turned out that the woman he was meeting wasnât his loverâit was his nemesis. A nemesis with whom he could never reconcile.
All the anger within Sophia disappeared in an instant as she stared at Jonathan in fear. âWhat does she want?â
