Chapter 232: Her Sake

But the man’s grin only widened, his eyes gleaming with a cruel light as he leaned closer, his breath hot against her ear. "Oh, come now, my dear," he purred, his voice dripping with malice. "You can’t deny that there was something between us once upon a time. And now that he’s taken you away from me, I can’t help but wonder... do you miss me?"

Mrs. Harrison’s heart raced with a mixture of dread and disgust at his insinuation. She knew that there had been a time when she had been drawn to him, when she had been seduced by his charm and charisma. But that was a lifetime ago, a distant memory that she had long since buried deep within her soul.

"No," she replied, her voice firm despite the trembling of her hands. "I don’t miss you. I never did."

The man’s grin faltered for a moment, a flicker of disappointment crossing his features before he quickly masked it with a cold facade of indifference. "Well, then," he said, his tone icy and dismissive. "I suppose we have nothing more to discuss."

And with that, he released her from his grasp and turned away, leaving Mrs. Harrison standing alone in the dimly lit room

Mrs. Harrison’s desperation surged as she pleaded with the man, her voice tinged with urgency. "Wait—you have to help me... for her sake," she implored, her eyes searching his for any sign of compassion.

The man stopped in his tracks, his expression hardening as he turned to face her once more. "I thought we discussed not to bring her up!" he snapped, his voice laced with irritation.

But Mrs. Harrison pressed on, her resolve unwavering in the face of his anger. "But aren’t you curious about your daughter?" she persisted, her voice trembling with emotion.

For a moment, the man’s demeanor softened, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his features before he quickly masked it with a cold facade of indifference. "I have no daughter," he replied curtly, his tone final.

But Mrs. Harrison refused to be deterred, her desperation driving her to push further. "You can’t just abandon her," she pleaded, her voice cracking with emotion. "She needs you, whether you want to admit it or not."

The man regarded her with a mixture of annoyance and disdain, his resolve hardening with each passing moment. "I said I have no daughter," he repeated, his voice cold and unwavering. "And I have no intention of getting involved in your family drama."

With that final proclamation, he turned on his heel and strode out of the room, leaving Mrs. Harrison standing alone in the silence of the dimly lit room, her heart heavy with the weight of her failed plea

As the man’s footsteps faded into the distance, Mrs. Harrison felt a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. She had known that convincing him to help would be a long shot, but she had held onto a glimmer of hope that he might have some shred of compassion left within him.

A profound sense of disappointment washed over her like a tidal wave, leaving her feeling adrift in a sea of uncertainty and despair. She had pinned her hopes on his help, desperate to find a way out of the nightmare that had become her life. But now, faced with his cold rejection, she felt more alone than ever before.

With a heavy heart, Mrs. Harrison turned and made her way to the door, her steps heavy with the weight of her disappointment.

As she stepped out into the cool night air, Mrs. Harrison felt a sense of emptiness engulf her, a hollow ache that seemed to resonate deep within her soul. She knew that she was on her own now, with no one to turn to and nowhere to.

Mrs. Harrison’s heart sank even further as she thought of her absent lover. He had always been her rock, her source of strength and support in times of need. But now, as she faced the turmoil of her crumbling life, he was nowhere to be found.

She had received a brief message from him before he left on his business trip, promising to be in touch soon. But days had passed since then, and she had heard nothing – no calls, no texts, no sign that he was even thinking of her.

The silence weighed heavily on her, filling her with a sense of unease and uncertainty. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong, that he was in danger or worse. But without any way to reach him, all she could do was wait and hope for his safe return.

As she drove through the empty streets, Mrs. Harrison couldn’t help but feel a sense of longing for the comfort and reassurance that her lover had always provided. She missed his touch, his voice, his presence beside

She drove home with a heavy heart, each passing mile weighing down on her shoulders like a burden too heavy to bear. The silence of the car was suffocating, filled with the echoes of her own thoughts and fears.

As she pulled into the driveway and entered the familiar confines of her home, Mrs. Harrison felt a sense of foreboding settle over her like a dark cloud. She knew that facing her husband would be inevitable, but she dreaded the confrontation that lay ahead.

Entering the house, she braced herself for whatever lay in store, her nerves on edge as she searched for any sign of her husband’s presence. And then, just as she began to relax, she heard his voice – calm and collected, yet tinged with an underlying tension that sent a shiver down her spine.

"Where did you go?" he asked, his words too calm for comfort, his eyes boring into hers with a steely gaze that made her blood run cold.

Mrs. Harrison hesitated, her mind racing as she struggled to come up with a plausible explanation. "I... I went out for some fresh air," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper, her hands trembling at her sides.

But her husband’s expression remained unchanged, his eyes narrowing as he regarded her with a silent intensity that set her on edge. "Fresh air, huh?" he mused, his tone laced with skepticism. "At this hour?"

Mrs. Harrison swallowed hard, her heart pounding in her chest as she searched for the right words. "I just needed some time alone," she offered, her voice trembling with fear.

But her husband’s demeanor remained icy and unforgiving, his gaze piercing through her like daggers. "Well, I hope you enjoyed your little excursion," he replied, his voice deceptively calm.

As Mrs. Harrison nodded, her heart heavy with a mix of relief and trepidation, her husband’s words washed over her like a balm to her wounded soul. She had braced herself for a confrontation, for anger and accusations, but his unexpected apology caught her off guard.

"I’m sorry," he sighed, his voice tinged with remorse. "I shouldn’t have raised my hands on you."

Mrs. Harrison’s eyes widened in surprise at his admission, her heart aching with a mixture of sadness and understanding. She knew that their marriage had been strained in recent months, fraught with tension and resentment, but she had never expected him to apologize so sincerely.

Without waiting for her response, her husband rose from his seat and left her alone in the dimly lit room, his footsteps echoing through the silence of the house like a whispered promise of redemption.
