Sorry, My Darling Chapter 1 His Choice
Sophia's POVThe mall collapsed, burying both Jared's first love's daughter and my daughter under the rubble.Jared Anderson was my husband and a firefighter. He chose to rescue his ex's daughter, leaving our little girl behind...."Sweetheart, hang in there." I knelt over the debris, cupping Molly's face in my hands.She lay trapped beneath a thick slab of concrete, her tiny, delicate face covered in dust. Blood was trickling from scratches on her cheeks.Only her head and one hand were free, and that hand was clutching a bear toy—one she'd carefully picked out as a birthday gift for Jared."Will Daddy still get my present?" she whispered, her voice quivering.Today was Jared's birthday. We were supposed to go pick him up from the fire station after buying his gift.But the moment we stepped out of the store, there was a deafening crash, followed by clouds of choking dust. Fragments of the ceiling rained down, one hitting my head hard.We were trapped under the rubble. I'd

Sophia's POV"Jared, how could you do this?" I collapsed, dropping to my knees.There were no other firefighters in sight. With no other choice, I began to dig through the rubble with my bare hands. My nails tore, and blood streaked my hands, but I couldn't stop. Molly needed me.My hands throbbed, and my head spun with dizziness. Just when I felt I might pass out, a metal pipe suddenly appeared in front of me."Ma'am, do you need help? Wait, Sophia?" A familiar voice sounded from behind me."Alexander?" I looked up, stunned to see him there."I'm back in town on business. Forget about this," he said, quickly wedging the pipe under a massive stone beside Molly. "Maybe this will work."I stood beside him and steadied the pipe with all my strength. Finally, with a heavy, gut-wrenching sound, we managed to pry the huge rock off together."Mommy..." Molly's soft voice whispered as she smiled up at me from under the rubble, her hand going limp.Even so, she still clutched that plus
Last Updated : 2024-12-27Sorry, My Darling Chapter 3 His Love
Sophia's POV'Jared, don't you dare try to brush me off again! You owe me a reasonable explanation,' I thought, gritting my teeth.I had always loved him. But ever since Charlotte returned, he felt like a stranger to me. My love for him was slowly crumbling.I supported his kindness and respected his career, but I couldn't accept how he was neglecting Molly. In a life-or-death situation, he didn't even spare a glance at her.I quickly ran in the direction he had disappeared. He walked to a luxurious hospital room and swiftly pushed open the door.I peeked through the window to observe the situation inside.An elegant figure sat with her back to me, sobbing quietly. Her golden hair cascaded down, brushing against Jared's arm, making them look even more intimate."Jared, the doctor said she's badly injured, and I'm afraid..." she trailed off, crying even louder."Don't be upset, Charlotte," Jared said, patting her back gently. "She'll be fine, I promise. This is the best children
Last Updated : 2024-12-27Sorry, My Darling Chapter 4 Face Reality
Sophia's POVMy mind was on the verge of collapse. Molly lay pale and lifeless on a hospital bed, and even after I told him everything, Jared still chose to stay with someone else.'Ten minutes? He has been with them long enough. Does he really need to stay?' I thought bitterly, trying to calm down.Molly needed me, and I couldn't let her see my anger. She was eagerly waiting for Jared.After pulling myself together, I stepped back into her room."Sweetheart, I'm back. Oh my God!" I nearly collapsed right there.Molly's face was ghastly pale. Her body was twitching, and blood trickled from her mouth.Clueless, I fumbled for the emergency call button."Molly? Oh my God, doctor, help!" I cried out.Doctors rushed in, and I was pushed outside before I knew it, the door slamming in my face.I peered inside through the tiny window, but all I could see were doctors blocking my view. I sank to the floor, clasping my hands together in desperate prayer."Please, God, save my little g
Last Updated : 2024-12-27Sorry, My Darling Chapter 5 Losing Molly
Sophia's POVI slowly sat down on the edge of the bed."Mom, I feel much better. Can we go find Daddy now?" Molly asked, coughing lightly and flashing me a weak smile.I nodded numbly, but my mind was still reeling from the doctor's words. He had told me that due to multiple organ failures, Molly's life was now on a countdown.All medical measures were just to ease her pain. I couldn't face this reality."Mom, don't cry. I'm getting better," she said, lifting her hand to wipe away the tears on my face."I know, my angel is the best," I whispered, gently holding Molly's hand and nuzzling her knuckles with my cheek."Mom, I want to go home," Molly whispered to me.My heart ached again. I wanted so badly to take her home, but the doctor had given her the final notice.I choked back a sob. "When you get better, I will take you home. We'll go to the amusement park, buy your favorite strawberry cake, and get you the newest dolls."I sniffed, trying to maintain a smile. "Is there an
Last Updated : 2024-12-27Sorry, My Darling Chapter 6 A Good Girl
Jared's POVAfter leaving the fire scene, I immediately called Sophia back. Her voice sounded off, sending a chill down my spine.Her cold laughter rang in my ears. "You'll regret this for the rest of your life.""Don't say that, Sophia. I know Molly is hurting right now, and I swear I'll go see her as soon as possible. But Mia..." I turned to look at Charlotte, who was sitting behind me.Charlotte was a single mom. Life was hard on her, and I couldn't abandon them like that.I wanted to say more, but Sophia abruptly ended the call. My heart ached, a sense of unease washing over me. I couldn't grasp what she meant. There must be some misunderstanding.Molly was my daughter too, and I was worried about her.I just thought we had plenty of time, so I decided to help those who needed me more."Is everything okay? Is Sophia upset? You should go comfort her," Charlotte said, walking up to me with concern. "She must be jealous. It's all my fault. If I could handle this on my own, I w
Last Updated : 2024-12-27Sorry, My Darling Chapter 7 The Last Chance
Sophia's POVI stared at Molly, her small form so still that she seemed merely asleep."Don't worry, my little angel. Daddy is on his way. He'll be here soon," I whispered, clutching her hand.I rubbed it between my own, trying to coax some warmth back into it, as if by doing so, she might open her eyes and smile at me again."No, don't leave me, please." I pulled the dust-covered Teddy Bear into my arms, and hot tears slipped down my cheeks.A sudden knock on the door jolted me from my daze. I sprang up, wondering if it was Jared.I hadn't given up all hope, not yet. 'Maybe all of this is some awful misunderstanding. Maybe Charlotte lied. She is capable of it, so easily able to deceive Jared. Why not me?'I clutched the Teddy Bear close to my chest. I would give Jared the gift Molly had picked out for him. I wanted him to see what he'd done.I took a deep breath and threw open the door.But when I saw who was outside, the doll fell from my hands. "It's you guys.""Ma'am, we'
Last Updated : 2024-12-27Sorry, My Darling Chapter 8 Molly's Gone
Sophia's POVI slowly placed Molly's clothes into a cardboard box. Each item I folded took me minutes, as I had to pause and wipe away tears.She was lying in that cold morgue now. Before the funeral, I had to get her things sorted out.I reached for the photo on the nightstand. It was one of her favorites. She held Jared's hand in one of hers and mine in the other, smiling with such pure joy.I clutched the photo close to my heart, whispering, "Don't worry, my love. Mom and Dad will always be with you."I managed a faint smile, holding the photo up to look at her face. "We're going to the amusement park, sweetheart, just like we promised."My fingers traced the outline of her face in the photo.Jared had to come back. I'd messaged him so many times. My heart insisted he would finally show up.Wiping my eyes again, I lay down on Molly's bed. This was my last chance to feel her close.When dawn broke, I forced myself up and did my makeup. I needed it to be perfect. Then, holdin

Sorry, My Darling Chapter 36 I'm Dying, Jared
Sophia's POVJared's grip on my arm was like a vice, his face stormy with fury."Jared, don't be mad, please. It's all my fault." Charlotte clung to his arm, simultaneously grinding her heel into my foot.The sharp sting made me cry out, and I shoved her away."How dare you hit Charlotte right in front of me?" Jared roared. "She is still recovering from her injuries. Fine, you will explain yourself to the police."It was absurd. I'd ended up at the police station both times because of him.There was nothing left in this sham of our marriage.As I sat in the back of the police car, a decision crystallized in my mind. I could die, but not as Jared's wife.I had to divorce him as soon as possible.I sat in a chair in the interrogation room and stared blankly at the ceiling.Not long after, a female officer entered, her expression tinged with sympathy."I'm sorry, ma'am. They're refusing to settle," she said. "The prosecutor wants you to pay for what you've done.""I figured as
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 35 I Hate You
Sophia's POV"What?" My eyes widened in disbelief.Jared must be out of his mind. He had an affair, and now he wanted me to serve him. The audacity was staggering."I can pay you right now," he said, tapping his fingers on the wall. "Do me this favor. You know this place better than anyone.""Alright," I sighed.I was low on cash, and I couldn't turn down an offer like that, no matter how much it grated on me."If I pay you a little more..." he continued."Don't even think about asking me to babysit her," I quickly interrupted him. "I've got a lot on my plate. I don't have time to take care of your mistress.""We're not in that kind of relationship." Jared frowned, his voice laced with irritation. "Why are you so stubborn? It's annoying.""Funny, I find you annoying too," I shot back.My phone suddenly rang, cutting through the tension. I walked to the door and opened it.A middle-aged man in a moving company uniform smiled politely at me. "Hello, are you the lady of the hou
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 34 Murderers
Sophia's POV"You're selling the house? Then you might as well sell it to me," Jared said through gritted teeth. "I'll pay you market value, and you can save the strength of cleaning up."His anger was plain to see. In the past, I would've considered his feelings.Now I didn't care."Fine, of course," I replied. "I'll send you the contract. Hope you keep your word."Even though I hated him, I knew he wouldn't lie about something like this.That was sort of a relief. It was better than trying to find a buyer on my own.As long as Alexander handled the contract, I wouldn't have to worry about a thing.But Jared wasn't pacified. On the contrary, he looked angrier."What did you throw away?" he asked.I guessed he was worried about his things. How he thought of me was funny."Don't worry. I'll keep your things," I said, folding my clothes.I had planned to pack up his luggage and send it to Charlotte's place. That trouble was saved."I'm only taking what belongs to me and Moll
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 33 Useless Things
Sophia's POVThe apartment I rented was tiny. Even so, I couldn't bring myself to throw away any of Molly's things.I would never abandon her. I thought for a moment before packing some of her photos and toys into a box."Don't worry, baby. No matter where I go, I'll never forget you," I whispered, clutching her teddy bear and wiping away my tears.I didn't understand why it had to be this way. Molly and I had done nothing wrong. Yet we ended up suffering the most.With a sigh, I finished packing the toys and moved on to the bedroom Jared and I had shared.On the wall hung a large wedding photo. I could still remember how happy Jared looked when that photo was taken."I'll take care of you for the rest of our lives. With me, you won't have to worry about anything," he'd promised me that day."How did I ever believe you?" I muttered bitterly, tossing the photo into a garbage bag.He had changed so much, or he hadn't gotten over Charlotte at all."It must've been so hard for yo
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 32 Carry On
Sophia's POV"Yeah, the divorce papers," Jared said impatiently. "I've seen them. But you haven't even given me a chance to explain. Why do you want to divorce me? Have I been that terrible to you?""Haven't you? Think about what you've done these past few days. Look at me and tell me you believe your own words," I challenged.He had been ignoring me. Our love had died long ago. I didn't understand why he was still holding on.He stared at me for a moment and sighed. "I know you're unhappy. That's why I want to talk.""You pursued me," he reminded me. "You were the one who begged to marry me. And now you just want to walk away without an explanation?"He sounded like I had failed him, but he was the one cheating on me. The irony was suffocating.I sneered, "An explanation? I liked you, but not anymore."If he hadn't turned his back on Molly and me, things wouldn't have come to this.There was one thing I couldn't deny, though. Back then, I had indeed pursued him.He'd been my
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 31 What Are You Doing Here
Sophia's POV"I've sent the email to Jared," Alexander said, looking up at me with a pained expression. "I'll let you know when he replies.""Thank you, Alexander." I closed my eyes and heaved a deep sigh.Finally, I was going to be free from him.For the first time in weeks, the pain in my stomach didn't feel as unbearable."At first, I thought you were wrong to hide your illness from Jared," Alexander said, his brows furrowed as if still weighing the morality of it all. "But the more I think about it, the more I understand your perspective. If he cared about you, he'd move heaven and earth to figure out what is wrong.""Exactly," I muttered, lowering my gaze to the IV drip hooked into my arm. "He doesn't know because he is all over Charlotte.""Take care of yourself," Alexander said softly, reaching out to touch my hand. "I've got work to do and will see you around.""I will." I forced a smile. "I'm not going to die so easily."Three days later, my condition finally stabiliz
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 30 Nothing to Do with Him
Sophia's POVBlood kept pouring from my throat.I wiped my mouth again and again, but it was useless.I should've called an ambulance, but the thought of it made me laugh bitterly.I had no money left, not after pouring every cent I had into Molly's treatment.Jared hadn't sent a cent since the day she was admitted to the hospital.Through the haze of pain and nausea, I couldn't help but wonder how my marriage had reached this point.Once, our story had felt like something out of a romance drama.I was trapped in a burning building, and he saved me like a hero."It's okay, Miss. You're safe now," he said, his voice hoarse yet soothing.He carried me out of the flames and set me in a safe spot.From that moment, I knew that if I were ever to marry, it would be to a man like him.And I did marry him.Back then, everyone told me how lucky I was. I thought so too.But now? Our marriage was coming to an end.There was no point in clinging to it anymore.I clenched my fists,
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 29 Never
Sophia's POVI didn't know what brought Charlotte there.Jared and I looked over at the same time.She seemed oblivious to the tension in the air.She was even smiling at us."Why are you here?" Jared asked, his tone softening."Jared," Charlotte replied gently, "I thought about it, and I realized I needed to come see Sophia. I have to explain myself."The sight of her face made my stomach churn. I knew exactly who she was and what she'd done."Were you two arguing?" Charlotte asked, blinking innocently. "What's going on here?""Just stay out of it," Jared said. "Go home. Mia needs you.""No," she insisted, her tone earnest. "I can't avoid this anymore. I came here today to make things right with Sophia. I don't want to see you two fighting because of me. I know I've caused so much trouble for your family. I hope you can fix your relationship. Once Mia gets better, we'll leave this city."She stepped closer, her every move deliberate."Look how considerate she is," Jared mu
Sorry, My Darling Chapter 28 Lies
Sophia's POV"What did you just say? I am blaming you?" I screamed at him.I had been by Molly's side every single day.Jared sneered, pulled out a thick stack of photos, and flung them into my face.They scattered everywhere, and I had to bend down to pick them up.But when I saw the picture on top, I was struck dumb."Go ahead. How are you going to explain these?" Jared leaned over and snatched pictures from my hands. "Gonna spin another story now?"Every angle in the photos was calculated, making it look like Alexander and I were closer than we actually were.They were real, but they didn't tell the full story.I lifted my head and looked at him, trying to explain. But the moment our eyes met, I knew there was no point.He didn't believe me, so no amount of explanation would change his mind."If I hadn't seen these with my own eyes, I might've kept thinking you were a good mother." Jared's voice boomed through the room. "But you've let me down. If you want to divorce me
