Why cant she just make things easier for me ? If it werent gotten into the Stewart family in the first place for me .
she naver ver would have The more Sophia thought about it , the more aggrieved she felt The Stewart family was incredibly wealthy .
The man was on the verge of death .
Once Odalys married in , she would live a comfortable life , even if she ended up as a widow , Isnt that enough for Odalys ? What more does she want ? Sophia thought bitterly .
Tears streamed down her face , and Sophia sobbed uncontrollably .
Mom .
Brothers , what should I do ? Odalys is trying to kill me .
You have to save me , please ! Sophia cried out in a choked voice .
Feeling helpless , she climbed to her feet and curled up , staring out into the night , lost and directionless .
Sophia had once believed Finnian liked her , but now she realized that he was avoiding her Atlas just looked at me with suspicion .
He doubts my innocence .
How could he not trust me ? I cant accept this ; she thought , frustration growing within her .
Just then , someone knocked on the door .
She quickly rushed to open it , and Atlas charged in .
Atlas pinned her against the door , then wrapped his arms tightly around her waist , pulling her into him as he leaned down , inhaling the fragrance of her hair .
Dont move .
Let me touch you , he murmured , his voice low Uh , Atlas , stop .
Dont do this Sophis grew desperate .
She tried to push him away , but Atlas only held on tighter .
Their bodies pressed together , and Atlass eyes gleamed with desire , as if he were about to devour lier .

His hands slowly began to wander over li her laaly .

What are you doing ? Atlas , let go of me ! Sophia panicked .
They could flirt , but if it came down to anything more , Sophia would never agree to that .
She could never stay in the Bennett family forever , nor would she ever marry into it .
She was aiming for greater heights .
She only wanted to be the daughter of the Bennett family , and beyond that , nothing else mattered .
Does Atlas want to ruin me ! Sophia thought , feeling trapped .
Atlas was is jealous .

But you didnt .
He touches you , and its fine .
Why cant I ? He continued .
Also , when you asked him for those things this afternoon , you promised you would be with him .
Why didnt you tell me Atlas had watched Sophia grow up , but now he realized that Rafael had already touched her before him .
Atlas was jealous and couldnt stand it .
Atlas , have you lost your mind ? Im your sister .
You trust Odalys but not me , dont you ? Sophias eyes reddened as s Seeing her tears , Atlas was taken aback .
But Odalys is my sister too .
Atlas blurted out .
as she turned her head away .
Sophias heart felt as though it had been stabbed .
She let out a bitter laugh , her voice soft .
Right , shes your sister .
You trust her , not me .
Fine then .
If you dont trust me , Ill go find Rafael tonight .
Ill really go to sleep with him .
Is that what you want ? Sophia said , spinning on her Atlas quickly forward and wrapped his arms around her from behind , holding her tightly , stepped fo Im sorry .
I didnt mean to doubt you Allas said , his voice solt and regretful .
He held her close , continuously apologizing .
Sophia lararıð lús apology and , seeing him admit his mistake , a cold smile tugged at the corner of her lips .
She tilted her head back to look at him , her voice low .
Then youd better never yell at me again ? No matter what i 2/1 I do , its for our own good .

You cant go easy on her just because shes your sister .
Everything Im doing is a setup for getting that emerald pendant .
You need to trust me ? Sophia said softly , trying to calm him .
As expected , just a few words from her , and Atlas seemed to be swayed .
Alright , I trust you .
Atlas nodded hoarsely , He immediately picked her up and carried her toward the bed , gently placing her down .
With both hands on the beds edge , his fingers traced her jawline , slowly moving downward .
sophia let out a low grunt , her eyes following his fingers as they brushed over her chest She turned her head away , and Atlas hesitated for a moment before pulling his hand back .
He held his breath and said , Get some rest .
Dont do anything rash again .
If you have something on your mind , talk to me first He knew Sophia was lying , but he chose to trust her .
If he didnt trust her now , her now their relationship would shatter beyond repair .
Okay , Atlas .
Youre the best , Sophia murmured softly .
Watching him begin to turn away from the bed , she hurriedly wrapped her arms around him from behind , pressing her face into his back .
Sophia nuzzled against him , lingering for a while before whispering , Good night .

Atlas However , as he stepped out , he found Finnian and Francis standing in the living room froze , feeling suddenly awkward .
What are you two doing here ? Atlas asked , a hint of irritation in his voice .
Atlas felt as though he had just done something wrong , and the sight of the two of them made him feel uneasy , even ashamed .
Francis raised his cup slightly , saying .
I got some coffee from Stellan today .
We came out to brew some , but I didnt expect you to be having a hean to heart with Sophia tonight .
His words werent outright wrong , but they felt a little jarring to Atlas .
He wanted to siap back , but couldnt find a reason to lash out Chapter 168 Atlas , dont forget that Odalys is also your sister .
Finnian suddenly reminded him .
Finnian had known about this situation for a while .
In fact , Finnian had brainwashed Odalys back then , hoping she would marry into the Stewart family so that he could marriage and use it to get benefits from them .
But Finmans plans had fallen apart Now , Odalys had severed all ties with Finnian and was even filled with animosity toward him .
Sister ! Francis looked at the exchange with interest , clearly intrigued by the new gossip .
Francis hadnt been aware of this , though he had known about the public rivalry between Sophia and Odalys from the antsgonism had become a hot topic , and Francis had hoped to get some attention from it .
After participating in the show , Francis realized that sometimes it was better to stay out of things , or it could come back ** Clupter in his career .
*** Enough .
This is my personal business .
Finnian , stop sticking your nose where it doesnt belong Atlas snapped , turnin back into the room , slamming the door behind him .
Finnian wasnt angered by Atlass outburst *** Odalys is Atlass sister , and what about Sophia Francis raised an eyebrow , a glimmer of curiosity in Francis , usually reserved and not one for gossip , was particularly interested this situation But he was particularly interested in their relationship .
