Second Chance At Love

Chapter 31

Sophia pondered. The birth control pill in this milk can’t hann me anymore. I just don’t want to be deceived by him. I used to see it as a caring gesture when he brought me a glass of milk after we had intercourse. Now that I know the truth, I realize how foolish I was

His seemingly caring behavior always carries a hidden motive. He gave me poison. Why did I mistake it for a sweet treat?

The deed is done. The only thing I can be grateful for is that I managed to refrain from telling him about my pregnancy. I have no idea what kind of humiliation and torture awaited me once he discovers T’m pregnant.”

As Sophia drifted into her thoughts, Jason moved toward the bed. He frowned slightly upon noticing that Sophia was not as cooperative as usual. “Don’t just sit there sulking. You haven’t eaten all day, and your stomach must be empty. Hurry up and drink this milk.”

Sophia released a soft chuckle as her gaze landed on the wedding ring on her finger.

She thought, ‘Happiness and sweetness always used to blossom in my heart whenever I glanced at the ring, the symbol of marriage. But looking at it again today, it’s just funny and ironic.

Sophia twiddled with the ring using her fingertips, finding it loose and flimsy, possibly slipping off with the slightest shake. It did not fit her finger at

all

She reflected, Exactly. Jason didn’t even seem interested in being at our wedding and just went through the motions. He completely ignored the ring exchange part.

I stood awkwardly on the stage that day, silently enduring the mocks and sarcasm from the guests. I was the laughingstock of the whole audience.

“Alison felt sorry for me and asked Jason to buy a pair of rings

‘However, he was oblivious to my size and didn’t bother putting in any effort to find out. So, he casually instructed his assistant to fetch a pair.

When I received the ring and tried it on, I realized it was too large to fit properly.

My love for Jason was so strong at that moment that I convinced myself to wear the ring regardless of the wrong size.

reflect, our marnage feels akin to that ill-fitting ring. It was a mismatch from the beginning. I deceived myself into believing we shared deep feelings for each other, which we never truly had.

Sophia replied, “I’m not drinking this milk. Take it away”

Jason’s expression darkened. He assumed Sophia was sulking, so he violently reached out and grabbed her chin, warning. “Don’t make force you”

He despised the sensation of losing control, particularly after discovering the connection between Sophia and Oliver, which only fueled his growing restlessness

In their relationship, Sophia was the one who fell in love first, placing her in a vulnerable position where she often let Jason take the lead.

Jason found it unbearable to accept that Sophia, who had been in the subordinate position in their relationship, was now determined to break free

from his hold.

Jason commanded, “Open your mouth. Drink it.” He pressed the cup against Sophia’s lips, attempting to pour the milk through the small gap

between them.

Sophia resisted, managing to block a large portion of the fresh milk, but a small amount still trickled down her throat, irritating her sensitive palate.

A wave of intense nausea overwhelmed her. She forcefully pushed Jason away, stumbling barefoot to the restroom. Once there, she collapsed onto the toilet, vomiting violently.

Jason’s expression darkened as he saw that Sophia was disgusted by the milk he brought

He pondered, ‘She responded similarly when we were intimate at the gazebo. She retched as if my touch was disgustingly dirty to her. What a woman. Did she have so much fun with Oliver that she forgets who her man is!”

Jason stormed into the restroom with a grim expression and forcefully grabbed Sophia’s arm, asking, “Do you see me as a disgusting existence!”

Sophia still felt the urge to vomit. Desperate to reach the toilet, she attempted to move, but Jason’s grip on her arm hindered her movement. With all her strength, she fought to break free from his grasp.

Amidst the struggle, the wedding ring on her finger slipped off and plummeted straight into the hole in the toilet.
