Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Convince me

Roman walked up the stairs with a sense of trepidation, as if approaching a formidable foe.

He knew Sophia had likely awoken, and the weight of their impending conversation hung heavy in the air. He knocked softly on the door, and when no response came, he pushed it open and entered the room.

Sophia sat on the bed, her gaze fixed on him with an unnerving intensity. Roman closed the door behind him and approached her, his footsteps echoing through the silence.

He sat beside her, their legs touching, and searched her eyes for a glimmer of understanding.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, his voice laced with genuine concern. But before she could respond, Roman's ability kicked in, and he was bombarded with a maelstrom of emotions: disappointment, confusion, and sadness. He winced inwardly, wondering if Bianca had revealed their relationship to Sophia.
