Trapped with the CEO

Knowing that Hugh didn\'t smoke, Colin didn\'t ask if he wanted one.

"Today."

"Did something happen?" Colin got up from his chair and sat down beside Hugh.

They still weren\'t on good terms. It was evident that Hugh paid him a visit him because of Sophia.

"The child is gone. Sophia has been suffering a mental breakdown since the tragedy. She\'s not doing well, and has been losing consciousness every now and then."

The office fell into silence. The smoke from Colin\'s cigarette hid the expression on his face. After a long while, he said, "That\'s none of my business."

Colin\'s tone was cold and apathetic.

Hugh realized that Colin had changed.

He had become a heartless person.

"It happened on the day you announced your engagement. She went into premature birth. After a long night, Sophia got the heartbreaking news, and lost consciousness when she heard about your engagement to Dorothy Lien. The person who signed off on her surgery was someone called Justina. I have no idea who she is. But Colin, the child was yours. How could you connive with your fiancé to do that to Sophia? Don\'t you care about her?"

Hugh\'s question rang in Colin\'s mind.

But the expression on his face remained blank.

"No." Colin flicked the ash off the cigarette as he replied harshly.

Outraged, Hugh suddenly grabbed Colin by the collar. Colin sneered when he saw Hugh\'s face distorted in anger.

It was Colin\'s first time to see Hugh so angry, all because of that woman.

"Colin, do you have any idea how hard it was for Sophia to go into premature birth, only to have her baby die? She loved you so much, the child was her last hope. I\'m not asking you to forgive her, but you should at least pay her a visit. The only thing she wants now is you. Your comfort weighs more than anyone can give."

Colin put out the cigarette, and suddenly

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I\'m alive, I\'m still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...

."

Sophia\'s voice got smaller and smaller until it trailed off.

Colin didn\'t say a word. He gazed at her long black hair while complicated feelings flashed through his eyes. In the past, Colin liked her long hair the most. Besides touching it, he enjoyed helping her dry her hair after they took a bath together.

Colin\'s indifference made Sophia feel like a knife was being twisted in her heart.

How could she forget... He was an engaged man, whose fiancé was the heiress of the Lien Clan.

Her hands fell from his waist as she took a step back. Looking up to Colin, Sophia forced a smile.

"Thank you so much for your visit. I\'m so happy. Rest assured... I mean, please tell the people who still care for me to rest assured. I will thrive... For my child\'s sake..."

Sophia\'s face was still pale. Although her voice was small, Colin heard her clearly and silently listened to her every word.

When he turned away, Sophia\'s heart dropped. Before she knew it, she was calling him. "Colin!"

Is he leaving now? Why so soon? He must be particularly unenthusiastic to see her again.

Colin stopped, but didn\'t look back.

Sophia hugged him from behind, pressing her face against his back. "I... I deserve all this retribution for my sins. Since our child is gone, the last string binding us is now broken. Colin, you\'re free now... I will never bother you again..."
