Chapter 14
The wedding ended in chaos. Luke followed her to the police station,standing outside the interrogation room,listening to Sovia’s confession through the glass.
Every word she spoke stabbed deep into his heart.
It felt like an invisible hand was squeezing his chest so tightly that it forced him to crouch down,gasping for air.
It was she who lured Zelea into strangling the child.
It was also she who put her own hands around her neck,tightening them little by little.
Luke slammed his fist onto the table,gritting his teeth.
“I want her in prison,” he said,voice trembling with rage.
The officer holding the written statement looked troubled. “Sovia is about to give birth. According to policy,we can only release her on bail pending trial.”
Upon hearing this,Carol rushed in and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned to persuade her son,“Luke,she may be guilty,but she’s still carrying the blood of ou Gritorn Family.If you’re angry and want justice,at least wait until after the baby is born!”
“Mom,what about Jose then?Is he supposed to die in vain?That child cannot be allowed to live!”
Carol sighed, forced to compromise,softening her tone.“I was wrong to blame Zelea.But she’s gone now and this is the only remaining bloodline of the Gritorn Family.We can’t just get rid of
it.”
She insisted on taking Sovia back with her.
Once they returned to the villa, Sovia,despite her heavily pregnant belly, knelt in front of Luke,begging for forgiveness.
“Luke,I was rash before,young and reckless.Our child is about to be born. Can you bear to let him grow up without a mother?I’ll give birth to another son for you. Consider it compensation for you,okay?”
Her tearful expression made her seem pitiful,stirring sympathy in anyone who saw her.
Luke stared at her shimmering eyes,then suddenly laughed.
He pulled out a medical report and slammed it onto her face.
“Sovia,I forgot to tell you.I have a low sperm count. You and I only slept together once. This child…should not be mine,right?”
