(Sophia’s POV)The wind howled outside the villa, rustling the trees as raindrops pelted the windowpane. I stood in the kitchen, watching the storm rage through the glass while my tea steamed silently on the marble counter.Everything inside the villa was warm, quiet, and safe—yet inside me, a different kind of storm brewed. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was coming. Something inevitable.I took a small sip of tea and stared down at my phone lying on the counter. No calls. No messages.Roman had left hours ago for a meeting with the board. He hadn’t said much before leaving, only kissed my forehead and told me not to worry. That had been enough to make me worry even more.My fingers tapped nervously against the ceramic mug. So much had happened in the past few months—pain, betrayal, revelations. And yet, here I was, still trying to believe that peace was possible.But peace didn't last in my world.Not when there were still questions unanswered.Not when secrets hovered i

Sophia's POVThe morning sun bled through the lace curtains, soft and golden, yet the warmth it carried did nothing to soothe the storm brewing inside me. I had barely slept. The events of last night played over and over again like a broken record—Roman’s face when he saw Steve at my door, the pain behind his silence, and the disbelief in his eyes.He hadn’t said a word after Steve walked in and announced he wanted to talk to me privately. I tried to stop him, to explain it wasn’t what it looked like, but Roman was already walking away, the door clicking shut behind him like a judge’s gavel sealing my fate.My hand trembled as I poured coffee into my mug. I couldn’t eat, couldn’t think straight. All I could do was relive every moment and wonder if there was still a way to fix this.A knock startled me.I turned sharply, my breath catching in my throat. Maybe it was Roman. Maybe he came to listen—really listen this time.But when I opened the door, it was Vanessa.Of course.She looke

The clock ticked loudly in the vast silence of the study, each second dragging tension further into the room. Roman leaned against the edge of his desk, arms crossed, his eyes locked on the man sitting in front of him—Lucas Salvatore. The once-proud man was now a shell of his former self, his carefully curated arrogance cracking under the weight of the truth."You said you had a proposal," Roman said flatly, his tone as cold as the winter wind slamming against the windows.Lucas straightened in his seat, swallowing hard. "I came here not just to clear my name—but to offer you something in return."Roman arched a brow, clearly unimpressed. "And what could you possibly have that I want?"Lucas looked over his shoulder, almost as if to check whether someone was eavesdropping, then leaned forward. “Information. About the people who wanted to see you ruined. The ones who pushed Sophia into running away. The ones who orchestrated the media scandal.”Roman didn’t flinch, but something in his
After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 277 - The Pieces Begin to Fall
Sure! Here's Chapter 278, up to 1500 words, continuing the story:---Chapter 278 - The Pieces Begin to FallSophia stood by the wide glass window of her penthouse suite, arms crossed tightly over her chest. The city below was still alive, lights glittering like stars that had fallen to earth. But inside her chest, it was anything but bright. It was quiet—unbearably so. The kind of quiet that screamed louder than chaos.She hadn’t spoken to Roman since the court hearing. Not even a message. The way he had walked past her, eyes hardened, mouth set in a thin line—it echoed louder than any words could. But tonight, something felt different. A shift. A disturbance in the air. It was as if the past few weeks had led them here—into this night where truths couldn’t stay buried anymore.Her phone vibrated. A single message from someone she never expected: Steve.> “We need to talk. Come to the old house. Roman will be there too. No more games.”She didn’t respond. She didn’t need to. A moment
After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 276 – Tangled in Secrets
Sophia stood quietly at the window of Roman’s study, her arms crossed and her gaze fixed on the glowing horizon. The city below buzzed with life, but inside the estate, everything felt still — as if time itself was holding its breath. Roman had been out for hours. He hadn’t told her where he was going, and she hadn’t asked. She was trying to respect his space… but her heart was heavy with uncertainty.She pressed her palm to the glass, watching the shadows lengthen. So much had changed — between her and Roman, between her and herself. She wasn’t the same woman who had walked into this mansion as a housekeeper. She had fallen for a man who had once paid her for her body, a man whose son now called her "Mom."It was all so twisted, and yet, it felt painfully real.A soft knock on the door broke the silence.Sophia turned. “Come in.”Lena stepped in, her face drawn. “He’s back.”Sophia's heart leapt, but Lena’s expression halted her before she could say anything.“There’s something you s
After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 275: Echoes of His Pain
Roman’s POVThe night air was thick with unease.Roman sat at the edge of the bed, the dim light from the hallway casting long shadows across the room. Jenner was asleep beside him, her breathing soft, her body curled protectively under the sheets. He had watched her fall asleep, observed the way her lips parted slightly, her brows twitching now and then like she was fighting off bad dreams. She looked peaceful now. But he knew it wouldn’t last. Not with what lay ahead.His phone buzzed in his hand again. Another message from Frank.Frank: “We need to talk. I found something. It’s about Eleanor.”Roman's jaw tightened. He hadn't heard that name in years. Eleanor. The one woman who had once held his heart before Jenner. The woman who had destroyed him without even trying.He didn’t respond.Instead, Roman stood and stepped out into the hallway, careful not to wake Jenner. His mind was spinning. Frank wouldn’t text him this late if it weren’t urgent. And Eleanor? Why now?Downstairs, th
