Second Chance At Love

Chapter 49

Sophia was wracked with unending pain, too weak to dodge the blows. Instinctively, she raised her hands to protect her belly, only to endure another Lish This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

She didn’t know how many times she had been struck her consciousness was fading, and her limbs felt powerless. Yet she held her belly tightly, thinking. ‘No one loves this child, and no one anticipates its arrival. What if I abandon it? How pitiful would it be? Since no one else wants this child, and its arrival to this world was my own wishful thinking, then I deserve to bear all the suffering alone,

George noticed her curling up, her arms fiercely shielding her abdomen, and a cruel light flashed in his eyes. He had forgotten Sophia was pregnant with Jason’s child.

Jason is heartless enough to send his pregnant wife for another man to play with, he thought to himself, a twisted smile forming as he looked at the blood on the belt and then at the marks it left on Sophia.

Those lashes were enough to make Sophia suffer, giving George a sense of vengeful satisfaction. With his anger partially quenched, he threw the belt aside and slowly reached for the chili sauce on the table. He poured it deliberately onto her wounds.

The pain seared to the bone; Sophia trembled with the excruciating burn. George relished her expressions of agony, finding satisfaction in her torment. He crouched down, grabbed her hair, and forcefully lifted her halfway up.

“When I went to prison, the Cook family suppressed our business. Just a few months later, we were bankrupt, and when I got out, I was ridiculed and insulted like a stray dog. Sophia, how could you

be so cruel! It was only your body I lusted after, yet you destroyed my family. How should we settle this score? George looked coldly at her.

The Cook family was George’s fiancée’s family. When Julia found out he had been unfaithful, she was furious. The marriage was only ever a business arrangement with no emotional foundation, and Julia was not one to let an insult go unpunished.

It was Julia who ultimately orchestrated George’s imprisonment, and Sophia had only played a small part in it. Still, George sought revenge on Sophia, proving him a bully who preyed on the seemingly weak.

“We both know the real person who harmed you and your family is Miss Cook, not me. You’re taking out your anger on me because you think I’m weak.” Sophia said.

George tightened his grip on her chin with a vicious smile. “Silly woman, your weakness is only part of it. The most important thing is that you married a scumbag. The Wilson family is not someone I can afford to offend, but here you are, beaten and breathless, all thanks to your husband.*0

His words always hit her where it hurt the most. Yeah, Jason could have protected her, but he didn’t–worse yet, he pushed her out

“Yes, I was blind to have loved such a cruel man. I admit it,” she said through clenched teeth, followed by a violent cough, fresh blood spilling from the corner of her mouth with each hack

George saw the blood and assumed it was an internal injury from the beating. He slowly released her hair, and his hand traveled down her body, finally resting on her belly.

Sophia’s trembling intensified, a terrible fear taking hold as she realized George knew about her pregnancy, Desperate, she began to shake her head. “Please, don’t hurt my child”

George sneered as he began to unbutton her shirt. “Pregnant women are just better. Whether your child survives depends on your performance. If you don’t want to suffer more, cooperate, he threatened.

Having beaten and tortured her, he was now ready to commit acts he had fantasized about five years ago.
