Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable

we follow Sydney, a doctor who struggles to apply her own health advice to her life. Despite being knowledgeable about healthy habits, she indulges in her cravings for sweets and greasy foods, leading to discomfort that she chooses to ignore.

Caleb, a concerned figure in her life, senses that her stomach issues might be more serious than she admits, but Sydney dismisses his worries, confident in her ability to handle her health. As the chapter unfolds, Sydney prepares to take her dog, Yoyo, for a walk, despite the concerns of her friend Tiffany. Yoyo, who has grown protective of Sydney since her pregnancy, stays close to her during their outings. However, an unsettling moment occurs when she steps into the elevator and feels a shift in the atmosphere, foreshadowing the unexpected events to come.

Upon exiting, she encounters a sleek black car, and before she can react, she is pulled inside by a familiar figure, Julian, leaving her stunned and confused. The tension escalates when Sydney finds herself on Julian's lap, leading to an uncomfortable confrontation. Julian questions her about her meals with Caleb, revealing his possessive nature and the complicated history between them. Sydney, taken aback by his sudden appearance and accusations, tries to clarify the situation but is met with Julian's cold demeanor and mocking tone.

The conversation reveals the underlying tension and unresolved feelings between them, as Julian demands payment for what he perceives as a breach of their contract, introducing the concept of interest that adds to the weight of their already complicated relationship. The chapter captures a blend of emotions: Sydney's defiance against Julian's possessiveness, her determination to stand her ground, and the confusion stemming from their tumultuous past.

The unexpected encounter in the car signifies a turning point, raising questions about their relationship's future and the consequences of Sydney's choices.
