Alexander sat in his office, his frustration evident in the way he drummed his fingers on the polished mahogany desk. His secretary, Laura, sensing his dissatisfaction, hesitated at the doorway."Is there something I can assist you with, Mr. Stone?" she asked cautiously.Alexander's brows furrowed deeply, and he replied tersely, "Yes, there is. Sit down."The secretary complied, her unease growing as she took a seat across from him. Alexander's frustration had been palpable for a while, and she braced herself for what was to come."You've been failing to uncover important information," Alexander began, his voice sharp with irritation.The secretary tried to maintain her composure, though she had no idea what he was referring to. "I apologize, Mr. Stone. Could you please specify which information you're referring to?"Alexander's anger boiled over as he grabbed a stack of documents from his desk and tossed them in her direction. They scattered across the desk."See for yourself," he sa

Alexander made his way to the front door to meet his mother, where she had left a huge pile of shopping bags and packages. He couldn't help but chuckle, a familiar sight to him. "Let me help you," he offered with a warm laugh. Alexander’s mother, Caroline Stone, appeared before him as elegant as ever. Her blonde hair was neatly pulled back into a bun, with a few stray strands framing her face casually. She had always been a strikingly beautiful woman, and her radiance hadn't diminished with time. Her dark green eyes, so similar to Alexander's, gazed at him warmly from the front door. She patted her white coat and approached him, opening her arms for a hug. "You know I can't resist when I step into a store," she admitted with a playful smile. Alexander smiled. "Yes, I can see that. It's why I work so hard to keep up financially with your impulse buys." She playfully furrowed her brows and tapped his nose. "We need to talk, Alexander," she said with a seriousness that made him pau

As Sophia and Evelyn entered the police station, they were focused on the necessary procedures to ensure Evelyn's safety and well-being. It was a tense atmosphere, and both of them were preoccupied with the task at hand. As they talked to the police officers, Sophia spotted Alexander exiting the building, and her heart sank. She had hoped to avoid any encounter with him, but fate seemed to have other plans. Alexander, too, saw Sophia and a wave of emotions washed over him. He had been hoping to catch a glimpse of her, but now that it had happened, he wasn't sure how to react. They passed each other like strangers in the hallway, their eyes briefly meeting before they both looked away, as if trying to erase the past and the emotions that still lingered. Sophia, ever the pragmatist, accepted their estranged state with a heavy heart. She had moved on with her life and had no intention of revisiting the pain Alexander had caused her. But for Alexander, seeing Sophia again was a painf

Evelyn's testimony had left her visibly shaken, her normally radiant demeanor overshadowed by the trauma she had endured. Sophia decided to offer a small escape from the darkness of the day. ”Do you want to go home and watch some really dumb movie?“ Sophia suggested, hoping to bring a glimmer of cheer to Evelyn's eyes. Evelyn managed a faint smile through her tears. "Always," she replied. "But don't you have work, Sophie?" Sophia shook her head, her determination unwavering. "There has been work before, and there will be work long after I retire. Right now, I want to spend some time with my best friend." Evelyn hugged Sophia tightly. "Thank you, sweetie." "It's going to be nice, we're going to make face masks, we're going to laugh at the movie, we're going to make buttered and salted popcorn," Sophia emphasized, eager to steer the conversation toward happier topics. "Sounds lovely, like we're teenagers again," Evelyn laughed genuinely for the first time in a long time. "That's

Collecting herself, Sophia took a deep breath, her voice steady as she responded to him. "I see that you have solved the puzzle," Sophia smiles at him, but the smile does not reach her eyes. ''It doesn't change anything, Alexander. You didn't visit me once in these three years and now you pretend that there was something between us. There is nothing to fix because there was never a real connection.'' Alexander sighed deeply, acutely aware of the gravity of the situation. "I know I was wrong, Sophia," he began cautiously. Sophia's voice turned cold and distant. "You were not wrong, Alexander; you made a decision. Your decision is that you don't want to know me or have anything to do with me. I accept it." "Sophia, that was before I knew you," Alexander pleaded, desperation creeping into his voice. She let out a bitter laugh. "There were three long years in which I sat alone, waiting for you to get to know me. It's late now. I suggest that the d
After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife #52 "Do You Like Him?"

Sophia couldn't help but realize that she hadn't enjoyed herself this much in a long time.They had expertly mixed up some delightful Sex on the Beach cocktails and decided to engage in a game of truth or dare. After all, the entire evening was meant to be a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscent of their teenage years.As they lounged on the comfortable sofa, clinking their glasses together, Evelyn turned to Sophia with a sly grin. "What do you choose?" she inquired, taking a delicate sip of her fruity cocktail.Sophia contemplated for a moment before replying, "True."Evelyn's eyes gleamed mischievously as she leaned in closer, raising her eyebrows playfully. "What's going on between you and Alexander?" she asked, the curiosity evident in her expression.Sophia, feeling a sudden wave of hesitation, furrowed her brow and changed her choice. "Dare."Evelyn's g

Sophia, sitting behind her desk, was surprised by Michael's direct question about her divorce with Alexander. She wondered where he could have obtained this information, as it seemed that lately, there was a growing interest in her past relationship."Yes," she replied calmly, not one to hide the truth about her failed marriage. However, the curiosity of those around her regarding her history with Alexander left her somewhat perplexed.Michael settled into the chair across from her desk. "If it's not too cheeky of me to ask," he began, "why did you two break up?"Sophia leaned back in her chair, her expression thoughtful. "He had so many women around him," she explained with a hint of resignation. "He was too busy with them to care about me."Michael raised an eyebrow, his perspective on the situation slowly evolving. "You know," he said slowly, "from what I've seen, Alexander actually likes you. If he didn't like you, he wouldn't go to such lengths to keep me away from you, even tryi
