CBS Y&R Spoilers chock Lucy protects her father from death- terrified when she sees Sharon shoot him

Sharon had always carried the weight of her secrets in silence, but now that burden had become too much to bear. The tension between her and Faith had already pushed her to her limits, with Faith pulling away and defying her authority. Sharon’s world was unraveling, leaving her desperate for something to hold onto. She turned to the only source of stability she had ever known—Nick.

Nick had always been the one constant in Sharon’s life. Even through all their ups and downs, he had been there when she needed him most.

Now, with her life collapsing around her, she found herself seeking refuge in his familiar presence.

Her heart ached for the sense of protection she once felt with him, and more than anything, she wanted to rebuild the family they had shared.

Sharon knew that if anyone could save her from this mess, it was Nick. But things were different now.

The love they once shared had been tested by years of turmoil, heartbreak, and betrayal.

Sharon wasn’t sure if Nick would welcome her back or turn away from her once he learned the truth. The truth she had so carefully hidden—she was a murderer.

The realization sickened her. It wasn’t something she had ever wanted to admit, not to herself and certainly not to anyone else.

But the time for hiding was over. She had to tell Nick the truth and hope that he could still find it in his heart to stand by her in her darkest moment.

Sharon also turned to Noah, her son. Noah had always been her quiet, thoughtful child, the one who never caused trouble but seemed to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders.

When he left Genoa City, Sharon had been devastated, but she understood his need to escape the town that felt suffocating to him. Noah wanted freedom, and she respected that, but now Sharon needed him.

When Faith reached out to Noah, telling him their mother was in trouble, Noah didn’t hesitate. He promised to return, despite the life he had built outside of Genoa City. He couldn’t let his mother face this crisis alone.

When Noah arrived back in town, the tension was palpable. He could feel it in the air—the unspoken words hanging between them all.

He found his mother sitting with Nick in the living room, her hands shaking as she clutched a coffee cup. Her eyes were filled with a fear he had never seen before, sending a chill down his spine.

Noah sat down beside her, his expression concerned but resolute. “Mom, what’s going on? Faith said you were in trouble.”

Sharon looked at her son, then at Nick, her heart pounding in her chest. She had never imagined she would have to say these words aloud, but now there was no turning back.

She had to tell them the truth, no matter how much it might destroy their family.

“I’ve done something terrible,” Sharon began, her voice barely above a whisper, “something I can’t undo.”

Nick and Noah exchanged confused, worried glances. Nick leaned forward, his brow furrowed. “Sharon, what are you talking about?”

Sharon took a deep breath, her voice trembling as she spoke. “I killed someone. A long time ago. I thought I could forget about it, that it was in the past, but it’s haunting me now. I don’t know what to do.”

The room fell into stunned silence. Both Nick and Noah stared at her, their faces pale with shock. The words hung in the air like a heavy fog, suffocating them with their weight.

Noah was the first to speak, his voice low and shaky. “Mom, are you saying you murdered someone?”

Sharon’s eyes welled with tears as she nodded slowly. “It wasn’t supposed to happen. It was an accident, but I covered it up. I’ve been living with this guilt for so long, and now I’m scared. I don’t want to go to prison. I don’t want to lose everything.”

Nick’s jaw clenched as he tried to process the bombshell that had just been dropped. He had always known Sharon had secrets, but this—this was beyond anything he could have imagined. Murder? How could she expect him to handle this? How could she think he would protect her after something like this?

“No,” Nick said finally, his voice cold. “You killed someone, Sharon. You can’t just expect us to protect you from that. There are consequences for what you’ve done.”

Sharon’s heart shattered at Nick’s words. She had hoped—prayed—that he would understand, that he would stand by her like he always had. But this time, it was different. This time, she had crossed a line that couldn’t be undone.

Noah was still reeling from the confession, his mind racing with questions. How could his mother have done something so terrible? And how could she expect him to help her cover it up?

“Mom,” Noah said, his voice filled with disbelief, “you’re asking us to keep this secret. To become accomplices. Do you understand what that means? We could go to prison too. Is that what you want?”

Sharon’s tears flowed freely now as she shook her head. “No, of course not. I just… I don’t know what else to do. I’m so scared, Noah. I need you both. Please.”

The room was filled with tense silence as Nick and Noah struggled to come to terms with what they had just learned. On one hand, they loved Sharon—she was family, and family meant everything. But on the other hand, how could they protect her when it meant risking their own lives and futures?

Nick’s mind raced with possibilities. If he agreed to help Sharon, he would be complicit in her crime. He would be risking everything—his freedom, his children, his entire life. Was he really willing to throw all that away to protect her? And if he did, would he ever be able to live with himself?
