in Devonport, it seemed getting in was easy enough for Sandy, but leaving would be a whole other story.

“Caelum means he only has one daughter and wants Mr. Odie to take good care of her. He insists that nothing should happen to her in Devonport, or else…” Jonah didn’t finish, but Odie got the message loud and clear.

Rubbing his temples, Odie said, “Got it. If she wants to move in, let her. As long as she doesn’t do anything reckless, why wouldn’t I protect her?”

To him, women were just stepping stones. Once he had the Pollard family’s power in his grasp, he wouldn’t worry about outsmarting Colby.

“Yes, I’ll get her room ready right away.”

“Good.”

Odie nodded, his thoughts drifting back to Sophie’s voice from earlier that evening. The big boss of S Corporation… So what? She’d still be at the mercy of his drugs.

“You might manage for a while,” Odie muttered coldly, “but let’s see how long you can keep it up.”

By his calculations, the second onset was due any moment now. Without that medication to ease her symptoms, how long could Sophie keep up her strong front?

Later that evening, after the dinner party at Aldridge Estate wrapped up, Adler and Jenna were directing the cleanup crew. Sophie couldn’t help but chuckle at their playful banter in the hall. But then, the scent of tobacco on Odie sneaked into her mind, a scent all too familiar from her days in Summerfield.

Sensing something was off, Sophie hurried upstairs. Jenna, noticing from the first floor, found it odd. “What’s up with Sophie acting so weird?”

Adler glanced where Jenna was looking and agreed, “Yeah, she couldn’t be pregnant, could she?“/

“Seriously? Pregnant?!” Jenna was taken aback.

Just then, Colby emerged from the downstairs bathroom. When he didn’t see

Sophie, he asked, “Who’s pregnant?”

Startled, Adler replied, “Sophie just rushed upstairs, looking like she had too much to drink.”

Jenna shot Adler a look, “She didn’t drink tonight!”

Hearing this, Colby frowned. Jenna added, “I saw her covering her mouth. Could she really be pregnant?”

Jenna turned to Colby and said, “Colby, you’re not married to Sophie yet. You can’t be irresponsible. Have you been careful?”

Colby’s face darkened, realizing the seriousness of the situation. Without responding to Jenna, he headed upstairs immediately.

Others might not know, but he did. Before marriage, he wouldn’t let Sophie get pregnant and become the talk of the town. He was always careful. Pregnancy was out of the question, so she must be feeling unwell.

In the bedroom, Sophie looked pale, her vision blurry. Once again, Odie’s twisted face and voice echoed in her mind, “Beg me, beg me and I’ll save

you.”

Beg? Sophie would never beg.

Stumbling into the bathroom, she turned on the shower. The cold water brought a brief moment of clarity, but soon, the sensation of ants crawling over her heart took over.

She craved that feeling of being on the edge of ecstasy. But her sanity screamed at her that she couldn’t!
