The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Michael arrived quickly, his curiosity piqued by what Sophia might want to say.

Could Mason's earlier plan have worked?

Had Hayden already spoken to Sophia following the deal with Veda?

Sophia reaching out to him now likely meant she wanted answers.

Just as Sophia had anticipated, Michael pushed the door open with a scowl. He stepped inside, his cold gaze sweeping over Sophia before he sat across from her, clearly on guard.

"Why meet here?" he asked.

Sophia looked like she had been drinking.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were starting to glaze over. When she saw Michael close the door behind him, she smiled faintly and poured herself another drink.

"Nothing much, just wanted a quiet place to talk."

The room had a peculiar scent.

At first, Michael didn't pay it much mind, but he noticed Sophia's outfit a tight red dress, her hair in loose waves, and a sophisticated makeup look with bold red lips.

He had to admit, Sophia was stunning.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have captivated him so completely back then.

Seeing her now, Michael couldn't help but think of the past, but his heart was now calm. The woman before him, with her venomous heart, no longer stirred any desire in him.

Besides, he had never touched her back then, and he certainly wouldn't now.

Michael let out a cold laugh, his sharp gaze fixed on her as he got to the point. "What do you want to talk about?"

Sophia remained vague, taking a deep breath and smiling at Michael. "You don't have to see me as an enemy. I did unforgivable things, but setting all that aside, we still have feelings for each other, don't we?"

With that, Sophia, emboldened by the alcohol, began to get emotional. She leaned closer to Michael, her breath warm and tinged with the scent of wine, trying to unsettle him.

"Michael, have you forgotten? You fell in love with me first! I was your first love, you treated me the best, I was the best choice for Mrs. Smith..."

Before she could finish, Michael cut her off sharply. "Sophia, stop deluding yourself."

Michael stood up, adjusting his collar, the veins on his hands visible as he exuded an innate masculine charm.

Sophia swallowed hard, staring at him with a mix of longing and anger.

Why?

Everything she had worked so hard for was effortlessly taken by Emily!

It wasn't fair!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She knew this might be her last chance.

In a fit of desperation, Sophia lunged at Michael, grabbing his sleeves tightly, her eyes seductive, her voice trembling with tears.

"Michael, open your eyes! I'm the one for you! Emily doesn't even like you! I'll give you everything, anything you want, but Emily won't. If I did something wrong, tell me, I'll change, I'll do whatever you say, I promise I won't do it again."

Sophia pressed her hands against Michael's chest, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with sobs, looking utterly pitiful.

Michael had intended to push her away.

He couldn't even bear to look at Sophia now, feeling it was a betrayal to Emily and their unborn child.

But suddenly, Michael felt his face flush, his heart race, and a wave of dizziness and a familiar feminine scent overwhelmed him.

The same old trick!

Just like the times he had been drugged at the Smith family home.

Back then, Emily had often helped him through it.

Michael had enjoyed those moments with Emily. Now, facing the malicious Sophia, he felt nothing but disgust.

With a fierce effort, Michael closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forcefully broke free from her grip, shouting, "Let go of me! Sophia, do you think using these despicable tricks will make me agree?"

"I love Emily. You'll never have my heart. Everything before was a mistake. You should know your place!"

With that, Michael used all his strength, but Sophia refused to let go of this chance.

She didn't want to leave the country or be controlled by Hayden forever!

A look of determination flashed in Sophia's eyes as she dug her nails into Michael's sleeves and pulled him close.

Michael's lips were just inches away.

Seizing the moment, Sophia kissed him, trying to bite his lip to leave evidence.

But Michael's rationality prevailed.

To shake off the drug's effects, he shoved Sophia away!

He then staggered back, slamming himself into the wall to clear his head.

Blood trickled down his forehead, staining his white shirt collar.

The commotion outside the room had drawn the attention of the staff.

They rushed in, startled by the scene.

"Sir, are you okay?"

"Miss, are you alright?"

"Get out!" Before the staff could help, Sophia screamed, her eyes filled with venom and resentment.

She glared at Michael, seeing the blood streaming from his head, his body nearly collapsing into the staff's arms.

Sophia gritted her teeth, her heart aching as if it were being torn apart. "Michael, you're so heartless. You'd rather hurt yourself than touch me, is that it?"

Sophia already knew the answer, but she had to ask Michael one more time.

She couldn't believe it, and in the end, she only humiliated herself.

Michael, clinging to his last bit of consciousness, asked the staff to take him to the hospital and made it clear he had nothing to do with Sophia.

The staff, not being fools, quickly realized Sophia was trouble and hurriedly helped Michael out.noveldrama

As they left, Michael faintly heard Sophia's anguished screams from the room, echoing in his mind.

But he would never look back.

This farce was like a bad joke. It was because of a similar farce three years ago that everything was ruined.

A family, a loving wife, his child, and the happiness he should have had all were ruined by this woman!
