Chapter Forty-TwoThe courtroom was colder than Sofia remembered.Harsh.Unforgiving.She sat at the defense table, her hands trembling beneath the polished wood, her heart thundering so loudly she could barely hear the judge’s voice.Chloe sat directly across from her, poised in a pristine white dress, the picture of fabricated innocence.A liar.And yet, somehow, she was winning.The temporary restraining order hearing was moving faster than expected.Too fast.Aaron sat beside Sofia, his presence solid, protective, but the weight pressing down on her chest was suffocating.What if they take my children?The judge, an older woman with sharp, piercing eyes, cleared her throat.“We’re here today to address the matter of a temporary restraining order filed by Miss Chloe Kingston against Miss Sofia Laurent and Mr. Aaron Kingston. Miss Kingston claims both parties pose emotional harm to the minor children, citing past medical history and recently obtained footage.”The words felt like kn

Chapter Forty-FourThe next morning, the city was unusually quiet.But Sofia felt anything but calm.The storm Chloe had unleashed lingered, a dark cloud pressing down on her chest even as the sun filtered through the penthouse windows.She hadn’t slept.Not after what Aaron had told her.Not after agreeing—finally agreeing—to let him strike back.But the truth was, letting him fight for her was terrifying.Because part of her still feared it would cost her everything.A soft knock echoed from the front door.Aaron.Again.She wasn’t surprised.But when she opened the door, it wasn’t just him.It was Lucas.And he was holding a thick folder that practically screamed trouble.Aaron stepped inside first, his face a mask of quiet determination.“We found it.”Sofia’s stomach twisted.“Found what?”Lucas’s expression was grim as he laid the folder on the kitchen counter, flipping it open.“Chloe’s weakest link. The leverage we need to destroy her completely.”Sofia felt the tension coil t

Chapter Forty-Six:The fallout was immediate.By morning, every major news outlet was running the same story:“Chloe Kingston EXPOSED for Fraud, Fabricated Testimonies, and Attempted Custody Manipulation.”“Vanessa Porter Confesses to Bribery – Shocking New Evidence Clears Sofia Laurent.”The world finally knew the truth.And yet, Sofia felt no relief.She stood at the window of her penthouse, watching the city lights blur behind the rain-streaked glass.It was over.Wasn’t it?Chloe’s lies had been exposed.The threats to her custody case were crumbling.But the ache in Sofia’s chest remained.Because while Chloe’s damage was unraveling, her trust in Aaron still felt fragile.And after everything, she wasn’t sure how to rebuild it.A soft knock echoed from behind her.Aaron.She didn’t need to turn around to know it was him.But when he spoke, his voice was quieter than usual.“Sofia… the judge just dismissed the custody petition. It’s done.”Her stomach tightened.But it wasn’t done

Chapter Forty-EightThe next morning, Sofia woke tangled in Aaron’s arms, sunlight spilling through the wide penthouse windows.For a moment, everything felt calm.Peaceful.Like the world outside didn’t exist.Aaron’s steady breathing filled the quiet, his body warm and solid against hers.It felt right.Safe.But as reality crept in, so did the doubts.She had let him back in—physically.But emotionally?The scars still lingered.And she couldn’t shake the fear that something, someone, would tear this fragile happiness apart.Carefully, she slipped out of bed, heart pounding faster than it should as she pulled on his shirt and padded barefoot into the living room.The city stretched beneath her, a glittering skyline.But the headlines hadn’t stopped.A news ticker scrolled across the muted television:“Chloe Kingston Falls from Grace Amid Custody Scandal.”The media had moved on.But Chloe?Sofia knew she wasn’t done.She felt it like a storm on the horizon—unseen but undeniable.A

Chapter FiftyThe silence in the penthouse felt suffocating after Aaron left.Sofia stood frozen, clutching the birth certificate so tightly her knuckles turned white.It wasn’t supposed to happen like this.Not again.The ache in her chest felt unbearable, her pulse hammering in her ears.She had tried to explain.Tried to make him see.But the hurt in Aaron’s eyes—It cut deeper than any wound Chloe had ever inflicted.And this time, she wasn’t sure if he’d come back.Meanwhile – Aaron’s PenthouseAaron paced the length of his living room, the crumpled copy of the birth certificate clenched in his fist.His mind was a storm.The betrayal.The confusion.The pain.“Father unknown.”The words seared into his mind like a brand.It wasn’t just the document.It was the fact that Sofia hadn’t told him.That she hadn’t trusted him.And after everything—After every promise he had made—He wasn’t sure if he could forgive that.His phone buzzed.Lucas.But he let it go to voicemail.Because
