Chapter 350: Loving her was a mistake
Roger powered down his desktop and gathered his belongings, ready to leave for the day. Slinging his office bag over his shoulder, he stepped into the elevator, watching the doors slide shut.
By the time he reached the parking lot, the familiar scent of asphalt mixed with the faint chill of the evening air. As he walked towards his car, a voice called out to him.
It was Sylvia.
He turned, his expression hardening as his gaze met hers. His jaw clenched before he spoke, irritation lacing his tone. "What do you want from me? I told you to stay away."
Sylvia’s eyes burned with frustration and betrayal. "Why didn’t Lucius tell me about Tsar and Vladimir Romanov?" she demanded in a trembling voice. "They were the ones who killed my brother, weren’t they?"
Roger remained silent, his brows drawing together, but Sylvia pressed on as her fury mounted.
"You’re all the same," she continued bitterly. "Matteo never told me anything. He made me believe he was safe, while he was out there keeping secrets from me. And now you, Lucius, and everyone. You all wonder why I became like this. It’s because all of you made a fool of me!" Her voice cracked, her hands trembling at her sides. "Even if I’m dying, don’t bother. Pass that message to Lucius and the rest!"
She spun on her heel, storming toward her car, but Roger wasn’t finished.
"Sylvia, we’ve all tried to understand you!" he called after her, his voice louder this time.
