Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife

Chapter 94

Aharsh white light assaulted Sofia’s eyes as she jolted awake. A throbbing ache pulsed through her entire body, making her wince. Disoriented, she tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over her, forcing her head back down.

The sterile smell of disinfectant filled her nostrils, and the rhythmic beeping of a nearby machine cut through the silence. Her gaze slowly fluttered open, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. She was in a hospital room, stark white walls adorned with a single, cheery painting of a brightly colored landscape.

Her arm was immobilized in a sling, a dull ache radiating from the bandaged bump beneath. A sharp sting on her forehead drew her attention, and she reached up gingerly to touch a bandage there.

“Let me see her...” a voice echoed from outside the room. Sofia -immediately frowned. Was that Daniel’s voice? “Are you deaf?” Alexander's voice echoed. “| want to see her! You have no right to stop me from seeing my fiancée!”

“What fiancée?” Alexander snorted. “Have you forgotten how you cheated on her with her very own sister?” Their arguments rang in her ears like a tolling bell.

“That is none of your business.”

“Ridiculous!” Alexander said. “Take him away from this place.”

“Alexander, can you at least-”

“Take him away!” Alexander hissed.

“Alexander, your brother just needed to make sure that she’s safe.” A

woman’s voice that Sofia recognized as Teresa chimed in. “Please... let’s-

“He had no right to see Sofia. Take him away or | will have the guards make him leave this place.”

“What right do you not have to do that? What? Didn't you just get close to her because you wanted to piss me off?” Daniel said. “What? Say

something...”

“Daniel, calm down... please...”

“No. | need to see Sofia!”

There was more chaos then, a few footsteps. Were they fighting? “Let me see my fiancée- ”

“She’s no longer your fiancée!” Alexander said. “She’s my wife!” Silence.

Aloud, suffocating silence followed.

“What did you— What did you say you son of a

Sofia sighed inwardly when another chaos started. It seems that some people are physically restraining Daniel while the latter is trying his best to approach Alexander.

Sofia glanced around the room and found her phone on the bedside table. From the lack of an IV or any machine, she concluded that what she had were just small wounds and perhaps concussions. Taking her phone, she quickly opened it while ignoring the large crack on the screen. It worked perfectly fine.

Good, she thought inwardly. Slowly, she got out of her bed. Luckily, she didn’t feel any alarming pain, only a few numb parts of her body. But aside from that, she felt perfectly fine. Upon reaching the door, Sofia did not hesitate and opened it, revealing the group of people outside.

Aside from Daniel, Alexander, and Teresa, there were doctors, nurses, and even guards. Seeing her, Alexander immediately moved to her side, holding her waist.

“What are you doing? You just woke up!” he hissed, his expression dark.

“Sofia- “Daniel immediately teared up the moment his eyes landed on Sofia. “I! what is he saying? What- Wife? Did you- 66

However, Sofia really had no time for this bullshit. She opened her phone and pressed play.

“Do you still dislike how | smell?” Daniel’s voice echoed inside the corridor. Almost immediately, Teresa covered her mouth but both of her hands as she realized what was happening on the video that clearly showed Daniel and Charlotte.

“Hmph! Stop acting cute. You're not.” Charlotte’s voice followed.

“Really?”

“Really!” There was a pause. “And you lied to me. You said we would stay here for a week.”

“The meeting is only for three days, Sofia would know.”

“You already spend most of your time with her at home. What’s wrong with spending a few days with me? Aren’t you leaving her soon?”

“She's to turn 26 very soon,” Daniel chuckled. “You know | cannot live without you, right?” In the video, they could clearly see how he started kissing her neck as his other hand started moving on her body, caressing, pinching, stroking.

“She has yet to promise you, that she would give you her shares even if you have yet to marry. How confident are you that she would hand you the shares without conditions attached?” Charlotte asked.

“Can we stop talking about something irrelevant?” Again, he peppered Charlotte with kisses, causing the latter to giggle. “lam getting impatient, Daniel. | have been waiting for two years.”

“Her birthday’s in a month, babe,” Daniel reminded Charlotte.

“I know... | just...”

“You-”

Then, Daniel helped her sit down on the bed.

“Aring? You- “

“Will you marry me?” Daniel asked. “Of course, after | get the shares.”

Seeing everyone's reaction, Sofia smiled as she turned the phone off. “What were you trying to say, again?”

“You-

“What was that? That Recording is illegal; it must have been edited.” Teresa immediately said. “Who would dare do that to my son? Go and call our lawyers, I—

“| was there.” Sofia interrupted her. “I sneaked inside the room and

recorded that. Of course, you can easily say that it was edited but | was

there.” Her voice was rather cold. She thought that seeing Daniel like this would somehow make her angry or emotional. To her surprise, however, she felt nothing. She couldn’t feel a single anger or pity. She just felt... nothing.

Sofia met Daniel's pleading eyes. There was a time when she wanted to slap him, skin him, kick him. She wanted to ask him why he did what he did. She wanted to ask him why he betrayed her. She wanted to ask him if he ever loved her. Not today.

Oh, not today. “Now... let’s stop fooling each other. You have no right to be here.” Sofia coldly said. “I don’t want to release the video so you don’t have to worry about that. However... you should stop. It’s exhausting. You made your choice a long time ago. There is no need to avoid the consequences that come with it.” Sofia said.

“Sofia, let me explain. It was Charlotte-”

“I'm married,” Sofia said. “To your brother.” “You-”

“So...” Sofia forced a smile. “Now, you can have my sister.”

“Sofia, what are you- ”

However, Sofia already turned around and went back inside the room. Dealing with him now was better as it was getting exhausting. Still, she hoped that he would finally stop all this crazy behavior. The moment the door closed, Alexander suddenly carried her into his arms.

“What are you- ” she gasped.

“You just woke up. Why would you go out there? | can deal with him.” Alexander said, frowning.

“It would be nice to end it once and for all,” Sofia said as Alexander carefully put her back on the bed. “You don’t look injured?” she asked.

“Just a small cut...” he straightened his back and pointed at his head.

“The accident- “Sofia’s gaze darkened. By now, she knew that there were no coincidences in this world. “How long did | sleep?” she asked.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Just a day. The driver of the truck that hit us was already in the custody of the police. He was not saying a word.” Alexander said.

“But my people were able to trace it back to Lawrence.”

Sofia snorted. It seems that Lawrence will never stop until one of them... ends up dead.
