After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 272– A Glimpse of Hope
Sophia's POVThe hospital hallway was silent except for the rhythmic beeping of the machines inside Elijah's room. I sat curled in the corner chair, my arms folded around my knees. The scent of antiseptic clung to my skin, and even though I hadn’t slept all night, my mind refused to shut off.I watched him through the glass window. He looked peaceful—too peaceful. It was the kind of peace that didn’t belong in a place where life and death hung in balance. I swallowed hard.I thought I had cried all the tears I had left, but every time I saw him like this, hooked up to monitors, barely breathing on his own, my heart cracked open again."Mrs. Lancaster," a nurse said softly behind me. "You should rest."I shook my head. “I’m okay. I’ll rest when he wakes up.”The nurse gave me a sympathetic smile before walking away, her shoes clicking softly against the tiled floor.My fingers trembled as I reached into my bag and pulled out Elijah’s wedding ring. I had taken it from his hand when the
After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 271 – Torn Between Two Truths
Sophia’s POVI stood by the window, staring blankly at the moonlit city below. The soft hum of the air conditioner did little to soothe the whirlwind inside me. Roman had left hours ago—his cologne still lingered in the room like a ghost I couldn’t chase out.Everything felt so surreal, like I was living in a lie I hadn’t consented to.“Are you okay?” Jennie’s voice pierced through the fog of my thoughts as she stepped into the room, holding a steaming mug of tea. Her brows were furrowed, worry painting her delicate features.I nodded faintly and forced a smile. “Just… tired.”She set the mug on the table and sat beside me. “You’ve been tired a lot lately. And quiet. You and Roman barely speak anymore, and when you do, it’s like you’re both walking on glass.”I looked away. “It’s complicated.”Jennie sighed and reached for my hand. “Soph, you can trust me. Is it about Steve?”The mention of his name made my heart clench. I had managed to keep my distance since that night at the hospit

Sophia stared out the window of the moving car, her fingers absentmindedly brushing the fogged-up glass. The early morning sun was barely peeking over the horizon, casting a dull glow over the city streets. Everything around her seemed quiet—too quiet. But inside her, a storm was brewing.She hadn’t slept much. Not after the confrontation last night.Roman’s words still echoed in her ears: “You betrayed me, Sophia. You lied to me for months.”And she had. Maybe not with malicious intent, but the truth was undeniable—she’d kept secrets, and now everything was unraveling.“Where to, ma’am?” the driver asked again, his eyes meeting hers through the rearview mirror.Sophia swallowed hard. “Just… drive. I’ll tell you when to stop.”The driver gave a hesitant nod and pulled into traffic.She leaned back in the leather seat and closed her eyes, but peace wouldn’t come. All she saw were fragments—moments she couldn’t forget.The first time Roman had smiled at her.The first night he held her

(Sophia’s POV)I sat by the edge of the massive bay window in Roman's private study, my fingers curled around a warm cup of tea, its steam fogging up the glass. Outside, the rain had softened to a mist, casting a gray sheen over the estate grounds. I had grown to appreciate this view—the towering oaks, the gentle curve of the driveway, and the silence that Roman seemed to guard like a treasure. Yet today, that silence was deafening.I hadn’t spoken to Roman since the incident with Steve three days ago.The confrontation still played in my head like a film reel on repeat—Steve’s voice rising, Roman’s hands clenched into fists, the thick tension of betrayal and loyalty stretching between them. And me, standing in the middle of it all, trying to make sense of where my place truly was.“Mom,” Adam’s voice startled me from my reverie.I turned to find him standing in the doorway, still in his pajamas, his teddy bear clutched tight under one arm. “Why are you sitting here in the dark?”I sm
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

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
