Chapter 91 “Rose is in the senior class,” Ella told Sharon as they walked down the school hallway. Sharon’s brows snapped together. She knew she was there, and yet she decided to attend the same college? “Actually, my dad insisted on this school. I was against it, but I was left with no choice after he threatened me with my allowance.” She shrugged. “And when I found out this place had the best food, I was so eager to come.” Ella giggled at the last part. “How did you meet her? I mean Rose.” Sharon asked her. “We had been friends since high school, but I never knew the witch had eyes for my father. I just wish to snap her crazy neck.” Ella said and clenched her fist tightly. When school was over, Sharon and Elle walked to the school parking lot. They suddenly ran into Aria, who was alone. She wasn’t with any of her set of friends this time. As She approached them Sharon could see that Aria’s stern gaze was fixed perfectly on Elle. Seeing the look on her face, she could
Chapter 92Sharon sat quietly in her classroom, scribbling notes from the day’s lesson. Her mind wandered in and out of focus, thoughts occasionally drifting to the events of the previous day. She could still feel the weight of it in her chest, but she tried to keep herself immersed in her work. The next teacher walked in, and Sharon glanced up. Her heart skipped a beat as she saw Ryan standing there. She felt like she had lice on her hair but she kept it together even if she didn't expect what she saw. Ryan’s presence didn't even make her flinch, except she had to raise a closure, especially after what had transpired between them. She had hoped to avoid him for a while, at least until things settled. But now, here he was, standing in front of the class, starting his lecture as if nothing had happened.Sharon tried to keep her head down, focusing on her notes. She felt Ella, her friend sitting beside her, shoot her a glance but said nothing. After an excruciating hour, the bell rang
Chapter 93Sharon had been unconscious for two days. The sterile hospital room was quiet except for the steady beeping of the heart monitor beside her bed. Mathew sat nearby, his face a mask of stone, though his mind was swirling with anger and worry. The doctors had done everything they could, and while they had saved her life, she had yet to open her eyes. Mathew clenched his fists, recalling what he had learned just hours earlier. She had been poisoned. “There was poison in her system.” The doctor's voice rang in his head. He couldn't believe it, and his fury grew with every passing minute. Whoever had done this was going to pay dearly. He would find the culprit, and when he did, they wouldn’t live to see another day. He had vowed it silently to himself as he walked through the hospital corridors, waiting for her to wake up.After what felt like an eternity, Mathew finally got the news he had been waiting for. Sharon’s eyes fluttered open, her gaze unfocused at first, but as sh
Chapter 94 Mathew sat in the luxurious VVIP lounge of the upscale hotel, engrossed in a tense conversation with one of his key investors. The meeting was important, he needed this partnership to move forward with his next major business venture. As the investor droned on about terms and expectations, Mathew’s attention was divided. His mind had been elsewhere ever since the incident at the club. The memory of finding Sharon there, drunk and vulnerable, gnawed at him. He hadn’t asked her directly what she had been doing, but the way she’d been dressed, the way she’d looked lost, it bothered him more than he cared to admit. Something was wrong, and he could feel it. He just didn’t know what. Mathew took a sip of his drink, his eyes scanning the room absently as the investor continued talking. And then he saw her, Sharon, sitting at the bar in the same black dress, looking more sober but equally troubled. Her posture was slumped, and her expression distant as she stared into her gla
Chapter 95 Sharon slowly opened her eyes, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains and casting a warm glow across the room. She blinked a few times, adjusting to the surroundings before realizing where she was. The events of the previous night rushed back to her, filling her with a mix of emotions—chief among them, embarrassment. She had been the one to ask for it. The memory was hazy but undeniable. Sharon groaned softly, burying her face in the pillow for a moment as the realization settled in. How could she have been so bold? So vulnerable? Her heart raced at the thought. She didn’t regret it exactly, but the self-consciousness gnawed at her. Looking around the room, she noticed it was empty. Matthew was nowhere to be seen. Sharon exhaled a sigh of relief, glad to have a few moments alone to collect herself. She quickly slid out of the bed; her movements hurried as she found her clothes scattered across the floor. As she dressed, the soft fabric of her nightgown felt
Episode 96 Sharon sat at the VIP lounge beside Matthew, and her eyes scanned through the four men before her. When Matthew told her he would be introducing him to his friends, she was expecting something different, like a mafia den with old mafia bosses, but Sharon never thought it would be a group of young, good-looking businessmen. “So this is Mrs. Rothschild. She looks prettier than you said.” The man Matthew had introduced as Jack said with a smile Matthew told them about her? “Thank you.” Sharon smiled back, and her face blushed at his compliment. “So is there anything you would like to drink?” The man called Sebastian and asked Sharon. “No. I’m okay.” Sharon shook her head. Seeing their faces was more than enough for her; their good-looking faces were enough to intoxicate her. "I insist." The man said, and he poured Sharon a glass of wine. “Hope he is treating you. I know he could be cold and grumpy most times, but trust me, he is the best man out there,” Leo said t
Chapter 97 Sharon woke in Matthew’s bed, right in his room. When her eyes opened up, they immediately fell on the young man with a clean shave above her head. Sharon stared at his face, and she found herself more drawn to him. “How long do you want to keep staring?” Matthew suddenly mumbled from sleep. Sharon immediately rolled to the other side of the bed. The man isn’t sleeping? He was awake. “I wasn’t staring.” She mumbled, but Matthew knew that was a lie. After having a streamy, crazy sex in the car right in front of Sophie’s house, they returned home to Matthew’s room to resume it. Just the thought of how Matthew made her scream his name brought a little smile to her lips. She drew in her lower lips, and her face flushed. “Is anything wrong?” Sharon suddenly heard Matthew's voice. She felt embarrassed, as if the man were reading her thoughts. “Of course nothing!" She retorted quickly and hurried out of his bed. “Where are you going?” Matthew asked instantly. Sharon w
Chapter 98 It had been a week, yet Sophie was still at Matthew’s house. Every day had been a little hellish for Sharon; she hardly got to see Matthew because he was always busy with Sophie. Sharon rolled to the other side of her bed, feeling so bored. Her stomach grumbled too, reminding her she had starved herself the whole day. She suddenly got out of bed and walked out of her room. Her eyes scanned around the house, and strangely, there was no sign of Tara anywhere. She hasn’t set her eyes on her for a few days. Sharon ignored the thought and walked into the kitchen. She poured some noodles into the pot and put it on fire. Sharon sat on the cabinet and watched it get cooked. Suddenly the door was opened. Sharon looked in that direction and watched Tara walk in. Tara looked so tired and stressed out. “Is anything wrong? Why haven’t you been around? What happened?” Sharon asked her. “Nothing. I will come to your room once I’m done.” She responded. Sharon nodded. She watc
