Sophia’s POV

I woke up with a tightness in my chest, a feeling I hadn’t felt in a while. The room was quiet—too quiet. Roman hadn’t come back last night, and although I told myself it was fine, that he was probably caught up with work or something urgent, the silence felt heavy with secrets.

I pushed the duvet off and sat up slowly, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. The clock on the nightstand read 6:37 a.m. I hadn't slept well. My dreams were filled with fragments—whispers I couldn’t place, shadows lurking around corners, Roman’s voice calling my name before fading into nothing.

I padded toward the window and pulled the curtains aside. The early morning light filtered through the glass, casting a warm glow on the room. But the warmth didn’t reach me.

Something was wrong.

It had been for a while now.

Roman had changed—not drastically, but in the subtle ways that were easy to dismiss until they stacked up. He was more guarded, always checking his phone, stepping outside to take calls in

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company     Chapter 268

    The night air hung heavy with tension as Roman stared at the city lights from his penthouse balcony. The world was moving, yet everything inside him felt frozen. For the past few weeks, things had spiraled faster than he could control. Jenner had stopped returning his calls. Sophia barely looked him in the eye. Steve had moved out of his apartment without a word.Roman felt the weight of his decisions pressing on his chest like a boulder. In trying to juggle the complexities of his life—his company, his relationships, and his emotions—he had lost control of everything.The sound of his phone vibrating snapped him out of his thoughts. He picked it up, hoping it was Jenner.It was a message from his lawyer.“Your hearing has been rescheduled. Make sure to gather all character witnesses by Thursday.”He clenched his jaw. The custody hearing for Leo was just days away. His ex-girlfriend’s family had suddenly shown interest in the boy they had abandoned, leveraging their influence to chall

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 267

    POV: RomanThe office was unusually quiet, but Roman’s thoughts were louder than ever. He stood by the window, looking out at the city skyline, watching the cars move like ants, each carrying lives, stories, choices—some as complicated as his.His phone buzzed. A message from Steve:“She’s not talking. I don’t know how to reach her.”Roman’s jaw tightened. He didn’t need Steve to tell him that Jenner was slipping away—he could feel it in the silence between them, the hesitation in her eyes, and the way she pulled her hand away quicker than she used to. The intimacy they once shared had grown cold, brittle.He turned away from the window and paced. Her silence was punishment, and he deserved it. Not because of what he’d done recently—but for everything he hadn't said, for every time he let his pride build walls instead of bridges.He grabbed his coat and keys. Enough waiting.---Jenner sat in the nursery, holding Roman’s son—no, their son—in her arms. She rocked gently in the chair, h

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 266

    The sky over the city was an ominous gray, thick with heavy clouds that loomed like an approaching storm. Inside the penthouse of Roman’s towering estate, the atmosphere was no less tense. Every second ticked with a thunderous weight, as if the universe itself was holding its breath.Roman stood by the glass wall of the living room, staring out at the sprawling city below. His hands were clenched into fists by his sides, the veins in his arms bulging slightly from the effort. He hadn't spoken a word in the last ten minutes—not since receiving the call that had changed everything.Steve was pacing behind him, glancing at his friend with concern etched deeply into his features. “We have to act now,” Steve urged. “If we wait any longer, we might lose her.”Roman turned slowly. “Do you really think I’m just going to sit here?” His voice was low, controlled, but thick with rage. “They took her. Right under our noses.”“She went alone, Roman,” Steve said, trying to steady him. “She didn’t w

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 265

    Sophia’s POVThe heavy rainfall outside mirrored the chaos within me. I stood by the tall windows in Roman’s study, watching the rivulets of water snake down the glass. Every rumble of thunder echoed the weight I’d been carrying for days.I should have told him. I should have spoken the moment I saw the flash drive on his desk. The evidence. The truth. Everything he needed to finally bring Gregory down.But fear had rooted me. The memories of being manipulated, betrayed, and discarded by those I once trusted kept me silent.“Mom?” a small voice broke through my spiraling thoughts.I turned. Eli stood at the doorway, his pajamas slightly crumpled, his eyes wide and filled with confusion. “Is Daddy coming home tonight?”My heart cracked.I bent down and gathered him into my arms, holding him tightly. “Daddy’s just... working late, sweetheart.”He nodded slowly, trusting my words. I wished I could hold that trust longer.Once he was asleep, I returned to the study. The flash drive still

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 264 – Shattered Illusions

    Sophia stood at the window of her room, her eyes tracing the trail of raindrops sliding down the glass. The storm outside mirrored the one raging in her heart. For days, she'd felt it building — the silence between her and Roman, the cold glances, the weight of unspoken words.She had thought they were past the pain, past the betrayals. She had hoped that love would be enough.But love, she now realized, wasn’t always the cure.The door creaked open behind her, and Sophia turned to see Roman step in. He looked tired, his eyes shadowed, his jaw tense. He had barely spoken to her since the revelation of Jenner’s return — and even less since Steve's sudden silence.Sophia crossed her arms, her voice tight. “We need to talk.”Roman didn’t flinch, but he didn’t come closer either. “About what?”“About us. About Jenner. About Steve.” Her voice cracked slightly at the end, but she stood tall. “You’ve been distant. I deserve to know what’s going on.”Roman’s silence stretched between them lik

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 263

    Sophia’s POVI had barely slept. The moon had long sunk beneath the horizon, but I sat in the shadows of my room, watching the dim lights of the estate through the large window. My heart was heavy, but strangely calm. It wasn’t the kind of calm that comes from peace—it was the calm of clarity after a storm, the clarity that follows heartbreak and disappointment.Roman had made his choice.Even if I tried to rationalize it—tried to tell myself that Jenner being in his home was just for the child, that his loyalty to her was nothing more than gratitude—I knew better. A man doesn’t look at a woman the way he looked at Jenner if there isn’t something deeper.And Steve... he had said the right things. Done the noble thing. Walked away from a fight that would’ve left all of us broken. I respected him for that. I admired him even. But admiration wasn’t love, and my heart... my heart had always been Roman’s.Until now.I rose from the edge of the bed, reaching for my robe. A decision had take
