Sophia's POV

It's been hours since I'm confined to this little block. Everything still feels like one strange dream, only that it wasn't. The cops in their own witty way tried to make me confess, but what would I be confessing to? A crime I didn't commit. Quite gross.

I relaxed back on the chair, knowing they had nothing on me, at least that was what I've gathered so far. I knew they were watching, watching my every move, from the surveillance camera in the right upper wing of the room. But that wouldn't make me fret. I'm confident I didn't commit any crime.

When the door creaked open, I looked up to see the woman that came with the cops. Earlier today, she didn't look like a cop. I guess her bright round face didn't give much room to think of that.

“Sophia Thompson,” she called, taking the seat opposite me. “I'm Anna Holland, the officer in charge of your case.”

I regarded her briefly. She looked like someone in her mid-thirties. Her wavy blonde hair was packed backwards, forming so

  • Billionaire ex-husband craves me back   Chapter 45

    Sophia's POV The relief that washed over me as we left the police station was almost overwhelming. The air outside felt fresh, clean. It was a stark contrast to the suffocating tension of the room we’d just escaped. I walked between my father and attorney Klaus, my legs still a little shaky from the ordeal. The weight of the accusations, the shock of Angela’s betrayal, the uncertainty of what lay ahead, it was all a lot to take in. It still feels creepy to know Angela would bail on me like that, and that makes one thing clear; she wasn't acting out of fear. No, her action speaks more volumes. I have a feeling her hands have been greased.As we reached the curb, Klaus gave me a small, reassuring nod. “Don’t worry, Sophia. We’ll sort this out. I’ll be in touch,” he said, his voice calm and professional. He was a stranger to me, but I was already incredibly grateful for his presence and his swift action. He turned and headed towards his own car, the sleek lines of it a stark contrast to

    Sophia's POV I stared at Angela, wide-eyed. I couldn't believe what I just heard. It still feels like a dream, or in this case, maybe a nightmare. I watched her knit her brow together, regarding me with the most cruel look.I shook my head, wanting to believe I must have heard wrong. “Y–you don't mean that?” I stuttered, feeling a pit in my belly.“I mean it quite alright!” she exclaimed in an icy tone.The whole thing played in my head again. It was just yesterday when Angela had told me about Lydia's request to clean her office. I didn't smell any foul play. I wouldn't have. It's my job to make sure the offices delegated to me are perfectly clean. Besides, it wasn't the first time Lydia had informed Angela to tell me to clean her office. I'm displeased to think Lydia could go this far, but I'm more disappointed to know Angela could take part in this charade.Anna clears her throat, catching my attention as I raise my head up to meet her gaze. “You suddenly have nothing to say?”My

    Donald's POV The wind blew hard on my face as I walked towards the entrance of Fresh brews, an average coffee shop downtown. I looked over at my shoulders, wanting to confirm no one saw me get into the coffee shop.Once inside the coffee shop, I took a seat just across the left wing, glancing at my wristwatch to see I was right on time. I observed the surroundings for a while, only a few people were sitting around. That was a good thing. I wouldn't want anyone recognizing me and then posting a video of me with a weird caption in this sub-standard kind of setting. Nowadays, people could do anything for the money and maybe a bit of fame.The only reason I was here is because the private investigator insisted we meet in a less secluded part of town. His reason being we need to be discreet in case there's really a culprit in the company.After sitting there for a while, I glanced at my wristwatch again, and I shook my head. It was past 11 a.m, our scheduled time to meet. Why was he takin

    Sophia's POV It still feels like a movie, or a bad dream I would probably wake up from. The female officer was still saying some things, but I didn't catch a word from why she was saying. In this kind of situation, I know I have to stand for myself. No one really cares about me enough to stand up for me. At least, no one dared to. Angela still had her mouth agape, her eyes staring at me with all the pity in the world. But she couldn't stand up for me, not even if she want to. No one would take her words serious. For now, I only have myself to put things right.I turned to the two officers, my heart racing but I knew I had to stand strong. “I believe there's a misconception somewhere. I didn't steal anything.”Th officer gave me a cold look. It was the kind of look you give to the most heinous criminals. I wasn't a criminal, and never will I be one. Therefore, I'm not intimidated by his looks.“Miss Sophia, kindly follow us to the station. Your cooperation with us would be to your ow

  • Billionaire ex-husband craves me back   Chapter 40

    Sophia's POV The Tuesday morning air felt lighter, a welcome change after the tension of the weekend. I hummed a little tune as I walked through the familiar halls of Lance corporation, my cleaning supplies neatly organized in a trolley. I wanted to keep things light today, to push aside the lingering worries about being treated with scorn. I remember the word of a long time friend, being worried only get you old. Therefore, I decided to keep things simple and take it one step at a time.Angela, with her bright, cheerful demeanor, caught me by the breakroom. “Morning, Sophia! Ready to tackle the beast?” she chirped, a wide grin on her face. Angela was one of the few bright spots in this cleaning department, her easygoing nature a refreshing contrast to the usual stiffly presence of the other workers.“As I’ll ever be,” I replied, mirroring her smile. We chatted for a few more minutes about the usual office gossip – who was in, who was out, who was rumored to be getting a promotion –
