"Sophie, letexplain..." Colby started, but Sophie cut him off, her voice firm. "There's really nothing to explain.
| already know what you're going to say, and honestly, | don't want to hear it."
She paused briefly, letting her words sink in before continuing, "You know why James and | split up. I told you
back then, if you ever betray or deceive me, I'm gone. No questions, no second chances." Colby stayed silent,
seemingly absorbing little of what Sophie was saying.
"From now on, we're going our separate ways," Sophie declared. "You've turned into this unfeeling machine,

The people around them might not have known the whole story, but they could see the lengths Colby went to for

He approached Sophie and instructed the security team leader, "Stand everyone down."
"Yes, Mr. Aldridge," the leader replied, as the Aldridge family's security team dispersed.
Harold, noticing Sophie's paleness, commented softly, "I saw the whole thing. | believe Colby will cto
understand."
"He doesn't get it," Sophie said, her voice tired and subdued. "I always thought... he'd understand."
She meant to convey, "There's nothing left to explain. | know what you're trying to say, but | don't want to hear
it."
But perhaps Colby only heard, "All | want is someone who loves me, and you, Colby, just can't do it."
