A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

There was no emotion in Sierra's eyes. It was like a pitch-black night sky, void of even a single star.

Benson looked at her and, for some reason, felt a sudden wave of panic. He tried to grab her hand, pushing through the pain, but she pulled away.

Taking two steps back, she blinked slowly, her voice calm but distant.

"Benson, I don't want to marry you anymore. I've spent years revolving around you, and I'm exhausted. I just want to live for myself now. There's nothing left between us, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't interfere in my life again."

With that, she turned and walked away, not sparing him a single glance.

Benson stood frozen, his face pale. His emotions churned-a tangled mess of sadness, anger, bitterness, and regret, pressing against his chest like a weight he couldn't shake.

He hadn't been sleeping well these past few nights. Every time he closed his eyes, all he saw was Sierra's face.

For many years, he had gotten used to having her around, seeing her at the office every day.

He used to think she was a bit annoying, but these past few days, whenever he had been drunk and dealing with his gastric issues, what he missed most was hearing her voice.

It was when he realized that he couldn't live without her.

So, Benson came to apologize today, hoping to win him back. However, her words were cold and ruthless, like a sharp blade stabbing deep into his heart.

Could he be losing Sierra?

No. He refused to believe it.

They'd been together for so long, and he refused to believe she could just walk away from their relationship with such ease.

Even if she could move on, would the Shaw family be willing to give up the opportunity to ally with the Gray family through marriage?

No matter what it took, Sierra would always be his. There was no better option for her than marrying him.

Benson glanced at the scattered roses on the ground before turning and walking away.

Sierra returned to the piano room, but before she could step in, she heard Janice's irritated voice coming from within.

"Mom, Sierra isn't back to study

piano. Sha

only came back because

she was fighting with Benson! He

wasgust here looking for her you can't let her fool you again

"She'll pretend she's committed, but the moment Benson sweet-talks her, she'll

drop piano all over again. And when that happens, you'll be the disappointed one."

Sierra pushed open the door, stepping inside. Her voice was calm but unwavering.

"I won't disappoint you again."

Janice turned and scoffed when she saw her. "Oh please. You say that now, but who knows when Benson will show up and convince you

leave again? My mom's hea✓can't

handle another letdown from you."

Jemima remained silent, her expression heavy with thought. After a moment, she

finally spoke, her voice gentle.

"Sierra, if you still want to be with Benson, I won't hold it against you. It's your choice, and I'll respect it."

Sierra quickly stepped forward,

worried that Jemima might

misunderstand. "Ms. Anderson, I really did break up with Benson.

We're not getting back together. want to play the piano again, and it's not because of him or some impulsive decision. It's something I've thought through carefully-I

won't let you down again, and I won't

allow myself to live with regret."

Janice let out a cold laugh. "It's easy to say, but doing it is another story. I don't believe a word you say."

She shot her a disdainful glance, her eyes full of unhidden frustration and resentment.noveldrama

However, before Sierra could respond, Jemima suddenly spoke up. "I believe

her."
