Chapter 1 A Second Chance At Life
Sophia's POV
I never knew that visiting someone's husband at the office could ever be so wrong because the voices I was hearing from my husband's office inner room were enough to make me go mad in an instant.
Could he be cheating on me?
My legs shook with the muffled sounds that were coming from the inner room and my mind was telling me to run away and not go in there but I was persistent. There was no way I was going to turn a blind eye.
‘What is going on? I hope it's not what I am thinking’ my wolf purred but I was too occupied to give in.
“What is going on here!” I roared and I felt my eyes turn blurry at the sight of my husband ramming into his supposed best friend and I wondered what could be going wrong. How can this be happening?
They both disengaged from each other and started getting dressed because I was still processing what was going on with them. How could they have betrayed me?
“Oh, Sophia you are here? Why didn't you call just like you are always doing, you wouldn't have to witness this if you had just been as obedient,” Diana, my husband's best friend said nonchalantly wearing her clothes and I was so mad at her words that I couldn't take it and I attacked her.
“Yow w***e!” I roared, charging at Diana and I could feel my wolf, Elsa, in full swing ready to attack but before I could get to my movement was counterattacked and I was sent flying across the room with my back hitting the wall.
“Ouch!” a groan escaped my mouth as my back collided with the wall and I fell to the ground but the physical hurt I was feeling was nothing compared to the way my heart was breaking.
My heart was breaking and I do not think that I could ever witness a day like today. A day where my mate was going to attack me because of his mistress but it was happening to me right now and I couldn't do anything about it.
“Enough is enough, I can't let you raving mad just because you see some offending things,” I heard him say and I spat out blood not believing what I just heard.
What? Some offending things?
“Are you saying that I should be cool and not do anything at all even after what you did? Even after you shamelessly cheated on your mate with this w***e!” I yelled, standing up from the floor and I could see how relaxed Diana was even after causing so much trouble for me.
How could I be reduced to this? I gave Darren my all but he didn't even mind saving my face in front of his mistress, am I not being ridiculed like this?
“Cheat? Is that word not funny to you? That word would have held meaning if I really had ever promised you anything but if you think about it you are not the only one in this marriage, I don't even mark you as my mate don't you think you are being delusional!” he spat and my legs shook in the realization of what he just said.
It was true, the years of us being married together was nothing as Darren never professed his love for me but I was the only one always trying to make sure that the marriage worked.
He didn't mark me even though we had been married for two years with the excuse that if he married he wouldn't be able to control himself and make me pregnant because he wanted us to be together for a long time without kids disturbing our bond and not thinking about it. I really was a fool.
“You are so desperate to get entangled with a man that you didn't even bother with the glaring red flags, you really are shameless, Sophia,” I heard Diana mock but I didn't bother with her as I faced Darren to ask the question lingering on my mind.
“Does that mean you don't even love me at all?” I asked and my heart hammered against my rib cage furiously that I feared it was going to burst in fear.
“Is that not obvious? Are you that slow that you couldn't read between the lines, I only approached you because your father is a powerful Alpha with lots of influence but you are so useless that I couldn't get his approval,” he says and my heart is shattered hearing what he just said.
That was the last straw that broke me and I couldn't wait to hear the rest of what he wanted to say.
If he doesn't love me doesn't that mean I really have been fooled all these years? Two years of our married life.
I rushed out of the building with tears in my eyes and I wasn't thinking as I crossed the road without thinking and that was my mistake as I heard the loud horn of an approaching car.
I watched as the car approached me at high speed and I knew that my life was all over. I was going to die and my life replayed in front of my eyes as I awaited my death. Such a miserable life that I have lived.
“Gbam!” The car made an ear-wrenching noise as he came in contact with my body and my body bounced upward before it collided with the cold ground and I felt hot liquid gushed out of my head.
I heard people gasp from nearby as they rushed towards me and I watched as the car that hit me fled the sight leaving my half-unconsciousness body to reminisce about my unfair life.
“Why..” I breathed out with so much difficulty as tears escaped my eyes and I knew I was going to die but that night was so pretty that I wanted to live.
Please, moon goddess, give me another chance. Another chance to right my wrong. Another chance to live a righteous life…please, just one more chance, I begged desperately but I knew it was all in vain as my eyes became blurry and I finally lost myself to unconsciousness.
But I only need just one more chance, but am I going to get it?
