WHY DID YOU LEFT

So.sorry .if I may ask boss ....why did you leave your children Sophia asked

"Because that's the only way to save them from him Angela replied painfully looking away

Angela's eyes clouded over as she began to explain to Sophia why she had left her children all those years ago. "I had to leave them, Sophia," she said, her voice cracking with emotion. "I had to make it seem like I had abandoned them, so that man would leave them alone."

Sophia's eyes widened in horror as Angela's words painted a vivid picture of a dark and terrifying past. "What man?" Sophia asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Angela's expression turned cold and hard. "A man I had a business transaction with," she replied. "He was ruthless and cunning, and he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. I had to protect my children, Sophia. I had to save their lives."

Sophia felt a lump form in her throat as she listened to Angela's story. She couldn't imagine the pain and sacrifice Angela had endured to protect her children.

"I don't regret it, Sophia," Angela said, her voice firm and resolute. "I would do it all over again in a heartbeat if it meant keeping my children safe. But sometimes, in the quiet moments, I wonder what would have happened if I had stayed. If I had fought back against that man instead of running."

Sophia saw a glimmer of sadness in Angela's eyes, and she knew that despite her brave words, Angela did regret leaving her children. She regretted the sacrifices she had made, the years she had lost with her family.

But Angela's expression hardened again, and she looked at Sophia with a fierce determination. "I will not let anyone hurt my children, Sophia. Not now, not ever. Do you understand?"

Angela's words were laced with a deep sadness and regret, and Sophia could feel the weight of her emotions. She spoke of the pain of missing out on her son David's surgical operation, and the anguish of losing her husband while trying to protect her children.

As Angela spoke, Sophia couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt and shame. She had been so blinded by her own desires and obsessions that she had never stopped to consider the pain and sacrifices that others had made.

And now, as Angela expressed her happiness that her daughter Cherry had married Liam, Sophia felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She had been so convinced that she was the one who deserved to be with Liam, but now she realized that she had been wrong all along.

Liam had chosen Cherry, and Sophia couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy and resentment. But as she looked at Angela, she saw a deep sadness and longing in her eyes, and Sophia's heart went out to her.

She realized that Angela's happiness was not just about her daughter's marriage, but about the hope of reuniting with her children and making amends for the past. And Sophia knew that she had to let go of her own selfish desires and respect Angela's feelings.

Sophia took a deep breath and tried to compose herself. She couldn't believe how selfish she had been, thinking only of her own desires and ignoring the pain and sacrifices of others.

"Angela, I'm so sorry," Sophia said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I had no idea about your past, about what you had to go through to protect your children. I'm ashamed of how I've been behaving."

Angela looked at Sophia, her eyes searching for sincerity. After a moment, she nodded, seeming to accept Sophia's apology.

"It's not your fault, Sophia," Angela said. "You didn't know. But now that you do, I hope you can understand why I'm so protective of my children. They're all I have left."

Sophia nodded, feeling a sense of empathy and compassion for Angela. She realized that she had been so focused on her own desires that she had ignored the humanity of those around her.

"What can I do to make it right, Angela?" Sophia asked, feeling a sense of determination.

Angela looked at her, a small smile on her face. "Just be honest with me, Sophia. And respect my children's boundaries. That's all I ask."

Sophia nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. She knew she had a long way to go to make things right, but she was willing to try.
