After the Divorce Chapter 60: The Unread Message
Sophia's POVMy fingers hovered over the message icon. What was he going to say? Did he want to talk, or was this his way of trying to apologise?A thousand questions, and the answer was just a button away. All that it needed was for me to click it open and read through what he had sent.I couldn't. I don't know why. I couldn't bring myself to read it.“Sophia?” The Uber stopped right in front of me, the man smiling softly at me.I heaved a sigh, stuffing the phone back into my handbag. “Yes,” I said, pulling the car door open. This could distract me for a moment.“Are you okay?” he asked, staring at me through the rear mirror.“Yes.” The answer came clipped. Too fast, but I wasn't thinking about how rude I sounded.My phone dinged. Was it Marcus? Just as I tried to click on the screen, my finger touched the wrong icon — Marcus's text popped up. “If you are home, your mother is expecting a package. Sign it for her.”I glared at the screen, wondering what I was seeing. I had spent
After the Divorce Chapter 59: A Message From Him
Sophia’s POVIt was the weekend, but I was wrong. Diane and Marcus walked out the door with stern faces each barely acknowledging the other. It was obvious that they both were yet to come off the billowing train of rage that I had heard in their room.I wasn’t eavesdropping. But they had been loud enough to make sure that I heard everything. I walked into the kitchen, a frown forming on my face as I stared at the plates on the table. They didn’t eat the breakfast I had made. It shouldn’t sting, but it did.My phone dinged, the sound snapping me back to the present. “Hell yeah! We have been begging for months!” Kyla’s reply filled the screen in all caps.“Girl! What have I told you about typing in capital letters?” Lily typed back.“I love it!” Kyla saidI sniggered, watching the text chain increase as they bickered. I needed this. And also, I needed to come clean.***Lily had been the one in charge of finding the best place we could hang out. And she did. Bean’s cafe. Strange na
After the Divorce Chapter 58: Home Too Late
Marcus POV“Dinner was the best thing.” I watched Diane pull off the shoes she had on, a soft smile on her face as she reminisced most of the night. A look that I haven’t seen in so long. “Brian? He is talented. Did you know how easy it was to have the client sign the merger?” Diane broke the silence.I hummed, walking to the edge of the bed, grabbing my phone to check the time one more time. “You know, if anything, the night was ten over ten.” She grimaced. “Other than the fact that I had to eat a few oysters.”“You don’t ever eat oysters,” I pointed out.She hummed. “I don’t, but seeing that everyone on the table was eating them, I just didn’t want to look strange.” She stretched, letting out a loud groan. “You know, in China, when you go on business deals, you have to share a drink with the client. One party has to get drunk to show that they trust the other.”Not in those terms, but I wasn’t in the mood to argue.“So, you thought eating oysters was going to show trust?” I fold
After the Divorce Chapter 57: The Morning After
Sophia’s POVI was the enemy. There was nothing that could be said that would change the fact that Marcus saw me as the thorn who was trying to tear his carefully curated marriage to pieces. I could sit and fume about why he had said those words, but deep within me, there was a truth. The low but ever-throbbing longing.Maybe if he saw her for who she was, he would… no! I wasn’t thinking about this. Thinking about a future that could never be here. My alarm buzzed, the sound reminding me that I had to start my day early. If I wanted to. I groaned, running my hand over my face, thinking if it was wise to walk down or maybe just hide in here.It was the weekend. The chances of family time were low, but I knew they wouldn’t be rushing out for work anytime soon. Well, I knew about Diane’s routine, but Marcus? I wasn’t sure if he was going to pick an early start after the fight we just had. Should I even call it a fight?With a huff, I rolled out of bed, there was nothing sitting here and
After the Divorce Chapter 56: Matter Of Trust
Sophia’s POV “Brian!” I watched my mother greet him with a wide smile on her face as she leaned in, kissing the man on the cheek. “I didn’t think…” I cleared my throat, cutting her off. Her eyes widened. “My manners, this is my daughter, Sophia.” She placed her hand on my back, acting like I was some prize to be displayed. The man grinned. “Hello, if I knew you had this beauty in your home, I would have brought more than one bouquet,” he joked. My mother laughed, head thrown back as if she had heard the biggest joke of the century. The man looked pleased. But I couldn’t crack a smile as I watched the scene before me unfold. I felt a pinch on my back, my mother’s signal to get me to talk. Forced a smile on my face. “Welcome,” I moved to the side, watching as he walked in. “Brian is the new lawyer we hired, we are just trying to get to know a few things,” she explained, leading him deeper into the house. “You have dinner dates with all your new employees?” I couldn’t help but as
After the Divorce Chapter 55: In A World Of Sinners
Sophia’s POV“I am fine, Lily, I promise,” I sighed into the call, putting on my best straight face. I didn’t want her to be here, I didn’t want to sit in front of her and lie all over again.“I know you are fine, all I am saying is that, maybe we can do something together, it has been a minute since we all went out together, I miss that.” She muttered.Guilt tugged in my chest, every time, every damn time they did this, and each time, I always shut them down with one line.“Okay, we can do something, I just have to fix up a few things.” The words slid out easily as they have always done. A lie.She sighed, maybe she would call me out on my actions, “Okay, love you.” The call ended.“I am sorry,” I said, even when I knew she wasn’t on the call. With a headshake, I walked into the house, feeling the gloom wrap over me again. The walk had been slightly relieving, but walking back in here, I am reminded of what I was trying to forget.My stomach rumbled, reminding me that I hadn’t really
After the Divorce Chapter 1: Sugar and Lies
Sophia’s POVThe cake box burned against my palms as I shifted my weight from one leg to the other. I’d been standing here for minutes, wondering if coming unannounced to my boyfriend’s place was a good idea.The last week had been rocky—he was always busy, always with an excuse, cancelled dates at
After the Divorce Chapter 5: The Escape That Wasn’t.
SOPHIA’S POV“Damn it.” I cursed out loud, dropping the mug against the counter when the coffee burned my lips, nearly peeling off my skin. In Los Angeles, Jean once told me it was a sign of bad luck. And as I fumed over the fact that his name still surfaced in my mind, soft footsteps filled the ai
After the Divorce Chapter 4: The Line I Crossed
Marcus’s POVThe second my thumb brushed against her lips, I knew I had crossed a line. And the worst part was that It didn't start there, It started the moment she walked through that door yesterday… looking like something fragile had just been shattered inside her.She was trying too hard to hold
After the Divorce Chapter 3: Something Rare
Sophia’s POV“I am still your mother, young woman.” I nearly laughed at the words, pressing my palm against my cheeks as I fought the tears burning the back of my eyelids. This woman didn't care about me. Why did I ever think she'd change? I felt Marcus' gaze burning through me, and it made it ha
