Third Person POVE
As she spoke, Sabrina pulled a small bottle of white powder from her bag.
The moment Magnus saw it, his eyes widened, his pupils shrinking with shock.
He never imagined that the sweet, innocent Sabrina he once knew could turn into someone like this.
He quickly shoved her away, putting space between them, staring at her like she was a stranger.
“Sabrina what happened to you? How did you become so terrifying?“%
Sabrina threw her head back and laughed–loud, bitter, and unhinged.
“Terrifying? Me?”
She looked at him with a wild glint in her eyes.
“Magnus, if it hadn’t been for you–if it hadn’t been for all of you men–do you think I would’ve ended up like this?“%
Before he could react, she pulled a small knife seemingly out of nowhere and lunged toward him,{
But just as the blade flashed through the air, a group of security guards burst in and restrained her, forcing her arms down before she could reach him. E
She hadn’t even noticed–while she was caught up in her emotional confession, Magnus had already triggered the silent alarm,
As the guards dragged her away, Sabrina thrashed and screamed, her voice echoing through the office.
“If I can’t have peace, then neither will any of you!”
Magnus watched her get taken further and further down the hall until she disappeared completely.
Only then did he feel the tightness in his chest begin to ease.X
He collapsed into his office chair, as if every last bit of energy had drained from his body. Leaning back, he closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
Just then, his assistant knocked and stepped inside.
“Mr. Colon, I found the information you asked for*%
She placed a folder on his desk, then quietly left the room.S
Magnus reached out and opened it, flipping through the documents. As expected, everything that had gone wrong in the company traced back to Sabrina’s manipulation
He let out a long sigh and tossed the file onto the desk.
But when he looked up, his eyes fell on the photo of Chelsea still open on his computer screen. Her eyes, bright and clear, seemed to be looking right at him.
h his che
chest.
In that instant, a wave of pain surged through
And that was when it hit him–really hit him.
The woman he loved… had always been Chelsea.)
Though he didn’t even know when it started.X
Maybe it was during all those late nights she stayed by his side, caring for him when his stomach ulcers flared up.!!
Maybe it was when she waited for him to come home night after night.
Three years of quiet support had slowly replaced the hatred he once held for her with something deeper.}
He reached out and gently touched her image on the screen, his eyes red with emotion !!
“Why?” he whispered. “Why did I have to realize it only now?“!!
Memories of what he’d done–forcing her to divorce him, trading their relationship for a piece of her family’s shares–flashed through his
mind.
Shame burned hot in his chest.!!
He wanted to slap himself.K
With trembling hands, he picked up his phone and dialed her number,
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable”
The robotic voice cut through the silence like a blade.#
His heart sank. He lowered the phone slowly, the weight of regret crushing him.
He had missed his chance. He had let the one woman who truly loved him slip away.
But as he stared once more at her face on the screen, something hardened inside him.!! He couldn’t give up. Not now
He tightened his grip around the phone X
He was going to find herk
He was going to tell her everything. That he loved her. That she had always been in his heart!! He called his assistant and asked her to book the earliest flight out of the country that night.

He called his assistant and asked her to book the earliest flight out of the country that night.8
After wrapping up the situation with Sabrina and clearing up the media mess about the leaked photo, Magnus returned home, packed his bags, and rushed to the airport.
By the time he boarded the plane, night had already fallen, and the city lights twinkled below.
As he stared out the window at the glowing streetlamps, it felt like a light had finally turned on in his heart, too.”
This time, he was going to win Chelsea back. He would make up for all the terrible things he had done to her.?!
Fingering the wedding ring still worn on his finger, Magnus made a silent vow to himself-
He was going to bring his wife home.
