Chapter 121 Billionaire's Lies

As Clara stormed out, defeated, Sabrina turned to Benedict. She saw, for the first time, not the man who had hurt her but the man who had grown-a man who was willing to fight, to change, and to put his family above everything else. His transformation was undeniable, and in his eyes, she saw sincerity and regret mingled with hope. For a moment, the weight of their shared past pressed down on her chest, but alongside it came a newfound lightness. She didn't fully trust him yet, but she couldn't deny the shift in her heart. The walls she had built so carefully were beginning to crumble-not in an explosion of emotion, but in slow, deliberate cracks that allowed just enough room for forgiveness to seep through. He looked into her, his expression relaxing. "Sabrina," he murmured softly, coming closer. "Thank you for sticking up for me out there. I know that was no easy feat." "Yes,Sabrina." she said in barely audible tones, her voice strained with emotion. "But it wasn't just about you. It was about Saben... and me too. I'm so tired of lugging around all this pain. He hesitated and reached out, his fingers reaching across hers, almost touching her skin as if needing approval. "I know that I have given you everything within your power to do; I walk away. Still, I hope you will just allow me to continue demonstrating my ability to be a man that you and Saben warrant in your lives." Sabrina didn't step back, but she leaned forward neither.
