Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 253

"Now?" Bowen asked, "I can't really make it over right now."

Sandra took a beat before speaking again, "What are you doing?"

"I'm with a client right now." Bowen replied, "Is anything up? Are you okay?"

"No, I'm not feeling well." Sandra murmured, then added, "I want to see you right now..."

"Sandra, I really can't leave right now." Bowen said, "Where are you? I'll send the driver to pick you up."

But Sandra fell silent again.

"Sandra?"

"Where are you?" Sandra gritted her teeth before asking again, "I'll come to you."

"Stop messing around." Bowen said, "I’m busy. I’ll spend time with you when I get home."

Sandra lifted her hand and bit down hard on the back of it, falling silent again.

Some sort of noise came through the phone, and Bowen quickly said, "I've gotta go, send me your location and I'll have the driver pick you up. Be a good girl, okay?"

Sandra didn't reply, and Bowen didn't wait for her response, quickly hanging up the call.

Sandra clutched the phone, frozen in place, she didn’t move for a long time.

Seraphina had noticed something was off with Sandra earlier in the office. She had waited for a moment before finally getting up and heading into the bathroom.

To her surprise, she found Sandra crouched by the sinks, biting her hand, face pale, unmoving.

"Sandra?" Seraphina quickly went over, pulling her closer.

Sandra seemed dazed, looking at her before quickly averting her gaze.

"What happened?" Seraphina moved in front of her again, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Sandra's whole body felt icy cold, and she was trembling uncontrollably. Seraphina reached out her hand and tightly held onto her, finally managing to bring back a bit of her awareness.

"What's going on?" Seraphina asked, "Are you not going to tell me?"

Sandra finally looked up at her, their eyes meeting for a long moment, her gaze filled with despair and sorrow, "Sera..."

"Spill it." Seraphina said, "What's there to hide between the two of us?"

Sandra opened her mouth, then paused, only managing to speak after a long time, "He's with Tania Martin..."

Seraphina's face visibly changed.

Tears were already streaming down Sandra's face, she doubled over in pain, managing to say through gritted teeth, "I know he's with Tania, he must be with her..."

Seraphina was feeling a sense of unease.

As much as she was good at sarcasm, comforting others was not her forte.

"Why the tears?" Seraphina gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go find them. You need to catch them in the act before we decide what to do next."

But as she tried to pull Sandra towards the door, Sandra yanked her hand back, sobbing uncontrollably.

"I can't go, I can't..." Sandra murmured between sobs.

Seraphina grabbed her again, "He's already treating you like this, are you going to put up with it?"

Sandra shook her head vigorously, after a long while, she managed to say, "I'm afraid that if I go, I'll be the one he ends up leaving..."
