THE MILLIONAIRE BURNED THE ROPE ABOVE A LION ENCLOSURE TO PUNISH HIS DAUGHTER’S FIANCÉ—THEN ONE COMMAND EXPOSED THE SECRET SHE LEFT BEHIND
/
Chapter 27 / 30
Chapter 27 - Marcus and Sophia
They met weekly.
Coffee.
Walks.
Therapy separately and eventually together.
Marcus said:
“I don't know if we're still engaged.”
Sophia replied:
“We aren't.”
It hurt.
But honest.
“Could we be something again?”
“Maybe.”
No ring.
No pressure.
They rebuilt as people who had both lost choice under others’ plans.
Sophia learned protection without consent can still wound.
