Chapter 17
“Thankfully, Gary saved me. He killed that monster. He pulled me out of the abyss.”
Sabrina wiped the tears from the comers of her eyes, lifting her chin stubbornly.
“But because of me, he lost his job. So I ended up night back at that club, right back where men used me like I was nothing
She let out a bitter laugh. “Funny, isn’t it? Even after he saved me, I still couldn’t escape that nightmare. But when I went back… that time, it was my choice.”
“I was with Gary for one year and seven months. He treated me really well. Then I got pregnant, so I stopped working at the club.”
“I wanted something better for our child. But Gary was a fugitive, and I was pregnant. We had no money, no way to raise a baby. So we… we ended the pregnancy.”
As she spoke, she jabbed her finger hard against her chest, right over her heart.
“Magnus, do you have any idea how much that broke me? Do you know what it feels like to give up your own child? No mother wants to do that!“2
“But do you want to know what the most twisted part was? You texted me, saying you missed me.”
She burst into laughter, wild and sharp. “God, Magnus… you saying you missed me? That was the biggest joke I’ve ever heard in my life. So I thought, why not come back? With you, your family, the Colon Corporation I could finally give Gary and myself the life we dreamed 96%
She laughed again, even louder this time, tears running down her face. “This… this is what you owe me.”
Magnus stared at her, stunned. Sabrina looked almost possessed–laughing, crying, completely unraveling. His chest felt like it was being crushed by a heavy stone. He couldn’t breathe.”
He thought sending her away back then would spare her the pain of watching him marry Chelsea. He had no idea it would be the very thing that ruined her..
And as she spoke about her darkest days, he suddenly realized that that was the exact time his company had been at its lowest. But during that time, he had Chelsea by his side.
And Sabrina? She had no one!
His voice shook as he finally asked, “But if you hate someone… shouldn’t it be me? Why go after Chelsea?“!
Even as the words left his mouth, he froze, shocked that he had said them aloud.!!
Sabrina laughed coldly. “So it’s true. You’ve fallen in love with Chelsea.”
She raised her hand and pointed to the woman’s photo on the laptop screen.
“She took you away from me. Why shouldn’t I hate her? If it weren’t for her, maybe I would’ve been Mrs. Colon. Tell me, Magnus, what right don’t I have to hate her?”
it the
“Yes, I came back with a motive. But why is it that she gets to stay by your side like nothing ever happened? You used to love me. But the moment I returned, everything changed. You don’t love me anymore. You love her.“}]
Eyes red and burning, Sabrina stood up slowly and took a step toward him. Then another.!!
“Magnus, I’m jealous of her. She has a perfect family, a powerful father backing her, and now… she has you, too. Why? Why was I the one thrown into the gutter? Tell me why?”
She let out a laugh, full of bitterness and pain. “That’s why I decided… she’s coming to hell with me. But lucky for me, your idiot little sister likes me. She does whatever I say. So when I told her to go find someone and get me medicine, she didn’t even hesitate.“% Sabrina’s voice dropped to a cold whisper as her eyes locked onto his.
“Do you know where Jeff’s “medicine‘ came from? I gave it to him. That drug… it was the same one my bastard father once used on me.“!
