Forgetting You Was the Best Ending novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Though Victor had covered for Sophie regarding the plagiarism, his attitude toward her grew colder after returning.

Sophie seethed with resentment, convinced Victor still couldn’t forget Lily.

That woman had slunk away like a stray dog, yet she was still haunting them.

Grabbing her phone, Sophie texted Victor: “Victor, I think I’m sick. Could you come see me?”

As his longtime crush, Victor went despite his reservations.

When he arrived, Sophie lay on the sofa in a camisole, her complexion perfectly healthy.

Victor instantly understood her ploy, irritation flickering in his eyes.

He turned to leave, but Sophie caught his hand.

“I’m sorry, Victor.

You’ve been so distant lately… I panicked and lied.”

Her agony softened his expression.

Seizing the moment, Sophie pressed, “Stay for dinner?”

Victor relented, taking a seat at the table.

Sophie poured two glasses from the decanter, offering one to him.

He accepted reluctantly. After two sips, a strange heat crept through his veins.

Tugging his tie loose, he shifted uncomfortably.

Sophie straddled his lap, fingers working at his shirt buttons.

Realization dawned–this was her trap.

Gritting his teeth, Victor shoved her off his thighs.

Sophie crashed to the floor, stunned.

As Victor staggered toward the door, she lunged, wrapping her arms around him from behind.

“Don’t go…” she pleaded, voice trembling.

Victor slammed her against the wall, eyes blazing.

“All these years, I believed you were gentle and principled. Even your missteps seemed born of devotion. But drugging me? Unthinkable.”

Repeatedly rejected and now manhandled, Sophie’s facade shattered.

“You’re rejecting me because you still want Lily, aren’t you?”
