After Veronica left, I felt an unbearable sting. The regret began to eat me up. I started hating myself for my horrible actions.I knew this was the result of my actions and to save whatever I could, I decided to meet Sam so I could convince him to take back the case at least.“I would like to meet Sam.”“Sir is not present but he will be here soon.”I sat for a few minutes but there was no sign of Sam, “Excuse me, can I go to the restroom?”“Sure.” I was following a maid to leave for the bathroom until I heard a whimpering coming from a room. Stopping in my tracks, I was astounded to wonder who was sobbing with muffled sounds. “What is that-”“Nothing.”The maid shook her head in dread, narrowing my eyes, I was intrigued to see who it was and gave her some money.“Let me see.” I demanded.She gulped, nodding slowly and led me near the room. Bewildered, the second I opened the room, I saw Dariel’s sister tied on the bed with her tears smeared across her cheeks and a covered mouth.“

DARIEL’S POV:-I was still in the prison with a never ending grimace on my face. I wanted to get out but the process was being delayed, testing my low patience.I had to be out before the news went to the media and they ravaged the image I cleared after a painfully long time. “Sir, no one is willing to take the place. Each one we could possibly refuse.”People had stopped seeing me as an arrogant bastard thanks to my wife, I had changed a lot too and I wanted it to remain like this but circumstances were challenging my goodwill.“And why is that?” I growled, glaring at Ian who looked down.“Apparently someone paid them double the amount, they are weirdly refusing.” He spoke worriedly, fearing my rage. My jaw clenched, hitting the wall from distress.“Couldn’t be Sam, as if he has that much money. Someone else must be funding that bastard but who? Which of my rivals had grown this overconfidence to test me?”Shrinking my eyes, I fell into a deep pondering. Sam was not capable of doing

I was in the room, left all alone with muted sobs and an agonizing heart. I didn’t know how that happened but cursing where the situation left me, I didn’t know what to say.I was sure I fainted then how could that happen? Unless… Helder did it deliberately?“Shit, shit,”Gritting my teeth, I pulled my hair in frustration. Losing my breaths as my head began to throb from the distress which abruptly fell on my head.“Dammit!” I growled, releasing a weak tear while perceiving what to do that could convince Dariel of my innocence. As I was struggling with my thoughts, Dariel returned in the evening.Whimpering, I dashed to his side, holding his arm weakly, pulling him towards my body as he kept a stoic and unbothered expression on his face.“Dariel, listen to me please-”“Keep our private talks behind the door.” He glared at me, ripping himself from me and set his collar.“Dariel,” I called him, loosening my shoulders from the amount of distress. Looking down sadly, I merely followed him

A shiver went down my spine when I saw Dariel in that condition like he had beaten someone terribly. My throat dried as I closed the door behind me worriedly. “D-Dariel…?”“Saafia?”Taken aback to find me in his office for the first time, he held his hand and stood straight but I had seen him already.“W-What is this, Dariel?” I trembled, bringing my hand hesitantly close as I walked up to him with my numbed legs.The merest idea of what he could have possibly done in wrath frightened me.“What are you doing here?” He frowned.Not liking me coming here but he was the one made me come.“Why is there blood on your shirt and your hands? What were you doing?” I asked, shaking slightly while sparing at glance at his unbothered expression.Distress creeping on my face when I grazed my finger over the fabric which had fresh blood, frightening me.“What is your problem? Why are you here?” He hissed, ripping my hand from his shirt but frowning in return, I forcefully gripped his shirt to push

DARIEL’S POV:-My mind was blank when I was returning, I didn’t know how to express felicity after being wrapped with an endless loop of troubles.Sighing, I leaned back against my seat, remembering how I barely managed everything in Saafia’s absence.Deep down, I knew she wouldn’t do this to me but I was infuriated at ‘how it happened’. What did Helder do to make MY woman come to him?The last week of her absence was hectic for me. I first started by releasing Jared from the prison first because he had helped me a lot.“You helped me, I got your bail. Don’t worry it will be a matter of time when the charges will be removed.” I told Jared who was astounded by my unforeseen actions.If he hadn’t freed me on time, I wouldn’t have seen them together. I knew I needed him, plus he also told me about Jacey too. “Thanks… But I think I deserve more punishment.” He chuckled dryly. He had fallen into complete depression. The regret of cheating on Saafia, Veronica leaving him, all of that had
