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

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

Sophia’s Point of ViewThe rain began to fall just as I stepped out of the hospital. I stood under the awning, unsure if I should wait it out or just run to the car. The cold droplets seemed like nature's way of echoing the storm already brewing inside me. Everything was spiraling faster than I could hold together.Leo was awake. That should have been good news—amazing news, even. But something about the way he looked at me, the way his eyes lingered as though trying to remember who I was, shattered something inside me.What if he didn’t remember us?The door behind me opened, and I instinctively moved aside. Dr. Ferris stepped out, holding a clipboard, her expression unreadable.“Mrs. Donovan,” she said.I turned. “Yes?”“We ran some additional scans. There’s no physical damage to Leo’s brain, but… memory loss can be tricky. It’s not always permanent, but sometimes… it is.”Her words felt like ice water dumped over my skin.“So, he might never remember anything?” I asked, voice trem
After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company Chapter 261 - The Price of Peace
(Sophia's POV)The early morning breeze crept in through the open balcony doors, teasing the edges of the curtains. I stood barefoot on the marble floor, arms wrapped around myself as the city below began to stir with life. Cars honked in the distance, and the scent of freshly baked bread from the nearby bakery wafted up to our penthouse.Yet, inside me, everything was quiet. Eerily quiet.I had barely slept.The events of the past few days replayed endlessly in my mind—Roman’s confession, Steve’s bruised silence, and the way Jenner looked at both of them as if she’d been ripped in two. Her pain became the mirror of mine, and I hated it. I hated how my heart still bled for Roman despite everything he had done.A soft knock at the bedroom door jolted me from my thoughts.It creaked open, and Alice peeked in. “Sophia,” she said gently. “He’s asking for you.”“Roman?” I asked, turning slightly.She nodded. “He’s in the living room. He said he won’t leave until he talks to you.”Of course

Sophia’s POVI 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

Sophia's POVMy hands trembled as I sat in the backseat of the limousine, staring out at the glimmering lights of the city. We were on our way to the banquet—the one Roman had been planning for weeks. He hadn’t said much about what it was for, only that it was important and that he wanted me to be there.But the moment I saw the red envelope on my vanity that morning, addressed to me in Roman’s handwriting, I knew something was different. Something had shifted. There was weight in the air. Anticipation. And an odd twist in my stomach that felt like fear... or maybe excitement. Or both.“You look stunning,” Roman whispered as he took my hand. He was dressed in a perfectly tailored tuxedo, his dark hair slicked back, eyes glowing under the car’s ambient lights.“Thank you,” I murmured, smiling nervously. “So do you.”He kissed the back of my hand, and for a moment, I forgot everything—forgot the fears, the past betrayals, the heartache. In that moment, it was just us.The banquet hall
