Charlie took a deep breath, her voice steady but laced with a hint of guilt. "I'm sorry, Electra. I couldn't reciprocate your love. I'm in love with someone else, and I'm expecting a baby."Electra's face contorted in shock and pain, tears welling up in her eyes. "Why are you telling me this now?" she asked, her voice cracking with emotion. "Why!" she repeated, the words cutting through her like a sharp hammer.Charlie's expression turned stern, trying not to sound harsh but his voice betrays a hint of softness. "I'm telling you this so you can accept the truth that's right in front of you. It's time to move on, Electra.” He paused and continued. "I know this is difficult for you to take in, but you have to accept the truth right in front of you. Look at me, Electra. I'm standing here in front of you, and I'm telling you that I don't deserve your love. I never loved you. My heart belongs to someone else, and I'm having a child with her. So don't let me hold you back from your journey

Charlie drove to his company, his mind racing with thoughts of anger and retribution. After parking his car, he got out, his face set in a determined scowl. He stormed through the hallway, his long strides eating up the distance, his eyes fixed on the door to his office.As he approached, he could see Leo waiting for him, his expression grave. "Where's Fiona?" He asked, his voice firm and commanding.Leo pointed to his office, his hand trembling slightly. "She said she was going to wait for you in your office," Leo said, his voice barely above a whisper.Without saying any more words, Charlie pushed his office door open, his eyes scanning the room for any sign of his sister. And then, he saw her. Fiona was sitting in his chair, her face bruised and swollen, her eyes red from crying. Charlie's heart raced with anger and concern as he rushed to her side."Fiona, oh no Fiona," he whispered, his voice cracking with emotion. "What did he do to you?" He gently lifted her face, examining her

Charlie was shocked to see Fiona in such a state. "Fiona, you're going to be admitted to the hospital," Dr. Stephen said gently. "You shouldn't have let domestic violence get to this point without speaking out."Fiona let out a weak chuckle. "Please, Stephen, I don't want to talk about it. Just admit me, and please, if my parents come asking questions, don't tell them anything."Dr. Stephen's expression turned sympathetic. "Of course, Fiona. We'll take care of you. You're safe now."Charlie felt a surge of anger and sadness, realizing what Fiona must have gone through. He wished he could have been there to protect her. "Please take care of her, Dr. Stephen," Charlie said, his voice cracking with emotion as he gazed at his sister, Fiona, lying in the hospital bed. Her eyes were sunken, her skin pale, and her body battered and bruised. Charlie's eyes welled up with tears as he thought about how he had failed to protect her.Dr. Stephen smiled warmly, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

As Charlie walked out of the ward, he came across Leo, who had just arrived at the hospital to join him. Charlie's eyes met with the basket in Leo's hand, and he was left to ask, his curiosity piqued."What are you doing with a basket of fruits? Who are you going to give something to in a hospital?" he demanded, his tone laced with skepticism.Leo scoffed, a smirk playing on his lips, as he held up the basket, the colorful fruits spilling out. "Just a little something to brighten up someone's day," he said, his eyes glinting with mischief."And who is this person?" Charlie demanded, his voice firm and curious.Leo smiled, his eyes sparkling with warmth. "I brought this for Fiona. I've always wanted to give her fruit, and I think I should just buy it once and for all. So I bought apples," Leo replied, his tone gentle and sincere.Charlie scoffed, his expression incredulous. "Just so unbelievable, and you think she's going to finish everything?" he asked, his voice laced with doubt.Leo

Charlie tried calling the boy who had promised to help them delete the video to know the progress, but her number was unavailable. "Damn, you shouldn't have told him to go ahead!" Charlie shouted at Leo. "He knew we knew about the video, so he can decide to post it!" The tension was palpable as they waited anxiously, unsure of what would happen next."I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me," Leo said, regret etched on their face. "I couldn't watch Fiona going through so much; he was threatening her and I had to intervene, that's why I snatched the phone." The apology was sincere, and the concern for Fiona's well-being was evident in Leo's words.Charlie's voice was laced with urgency and concern as he spoke, "You can always hang the call, you know that son of a bitch is unpredictable. I don't know, but you shouldn't have exchanged words with him. He had better not post that video." He tried dialing Michael's number, his fingers moving swiftly over the phone's keypad.Leo's face co
