All Chapters of Scandalous Secret Affairs: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

In the dimly lit living room sat Leia, her eyes glued to the news on the television screen. The headlines showed the shocking decline of the Sky family stock and their declaration of bankruptcy. The once mighty dynasty was now crumbling, and they were forced to sell off their properties and stocks to settle their debts. Leia's heart sank; she knew all too well what this meant for her. As the TV droned on, Mark appeared from behind, a stern look on his face. He urged her to go to bed, but she adamantly refused. Her fear and uncertainty consumed her, and sleep felt like a distant dream. Despite her defiance, sleep eventually overcame her, but she awoke and was deep in thought, recalling the events of the past few weeks. Leia found herself seated in the comfortable embrace of the therapist's office, her heart heavy with the weight of recent events. The room's soft lighting and soothing atmosphere offered a semblance of peace, but her emotions remained in turmoil."How are you feeling

The woman nearly chokes on her drink from shock. Mark continues not paying attention to the stunned woman at his side."I brought a date with me today." Mark is saying and some women in the crowds pout at this, probably hoping to snag a hot commodity like Mark for themselves.'you can keep him!.' Leia thinks viciously as the women glare at her like she's killed their dogs.She can see the recognition on their faces. She knows that the questions are going to start very soon. And from the malevolent expression on some of their faces, she knows they are going to be malicious.With a small gulp, she smiles at her impromptu audience. "Hello." She greets, bracing herself for the influx of questions."Is that-?." One of the women begins before being cut off by Mark."This is Leia. My fiancee. I hope you remember her." Mark's words force everyone to silence as they digest his words. By his side Leia has gone still as a statue, her smile frozen on her face.It feels like the calm before the s

The situation was getting worse for Mark, he wasn’t even smiling at the moment. He knew there was nothing he would tell Leia if she found out about the pregnancy.It meant that their relationship would be over."No... I've come too far, I can't lose her now that I have her," he cries in seclusion as he almost loses his mind. He's distraught, unsure of how to handle the situation while he panics. "I'm very certain I used the protection she gave me," he mutters to himself as he grab hold of his hair, trying to hold back his madness from unleashing. Despite trying to remain calm, he finds himself thinking of her last words to him kept getting him pissed off. He was angry, he was scared, he feared everything he worked for would crumble.At this point, he can hardly hold on, as hereaches for a vase sitting still on the table by the wall, and smashes it into a million pieces. "She couldn't have gotten pregnant, unless..." He says to himself as realisation strikes. He could remember th

The morning sun gently creeps through the curtains in the hospital waiting room as Mark anxiously sits, glancing at the clock with every passing minute. He taps his fingers on his crossed arms, worrying about making him jumpy.Leia is still undergoing surgery, and the weight of their past disagreement weighs heavily on his mind. Memories of the previous day flooded his mind, causing a bitter ache in his chest.The pain shocks him. He never realized how much his and Leia's lives had become entwined until she was on an operations table, fighting for her life.He releases his arms from its crossed position and presses the pads of his fingers into his eyes, the digits soothing the ache there.'Did I cause this?.' Mark ponders, lost in his revelry as he rubs his hands over his eyes.He's lost in utter confusion as his conscience throbs him while he sits in wait at the waiting lounge.The cries of patients and the nurses rushing in and out of the hospital with stretches and people are of no

"What am I going to do now?." Mark mutters to himself after hanging up. He lifts his hand to rub at his suddenly aching temples. It's like every time he takes care of a situation, someone or something always screws it up.The charity event is important for the solidifying of his and Leia's reputation. It's not just something they can Miss.He mutters a few more curses under his breath before he pockets his phone and walks to the entrance once more.With a snap of his fingers, he summons his butler, Henry.The tall man falls into step with him, a reliable presence radiating from the man."What can I do for you, sir?." The butler asks with a shallow tilt of his head."Ready another car for me. I need to go to work for an important meeting." The man bites out. The butler gives a brisk nod and immediately presses a finger to the Bluetooth earpiece in his ear."Ready a car for the boss. He needs to head to the office " The older gentleman demands, his words Sharp and strict.For a moment M
