My Ex-Husband is Out of Controlย ย ย CHAPTER 211
Sophiaโs POVI sat at the kitchen table, absently stirring my coffee. The smell of pancakes wafted through the air, but my appetite was nowhere to be found. Reese sat across from me, her little legs swinging as she dug into her breakfast. Her wavy locks bounced with every enthusiastic bite.โMommy, why are you so quiet?โ she asked, her big brown eyes filled with concern. โYou look sad.โI forced a smile, though it felt like a mask. โI'm just thinking about work, sweetie. Nothing to worry about.โReese frowned, her fork pausing mid-air. โIs it because of Daddy?โMy heart skipped a beat. โWhy do you say that?โโYou always get quiet when you think about him.โ She shrugged, taking another bite of her pancake. โAnd youโre not singing anymore in the mornings. I like it when you sing.โI reached across the table to squeeze her hand. โI'm sorry, baby. Mommy's just got a lot on her mind right now.โโIs it about that lady, Julia?โ Reese asked, her voice small. โYou were talking about her with A

Sophiaโs POVIt was yet another day at work. I moved through the office like a zombie, barely registering the world around me. Each step felt mechanical, and I couldnโt shake off the anxiety that was bubbling just below the surface. The DNA results were all I could think about. I kept myself busy, trying to ignore the nervous flutter in my stomach. But it was no use.I hadnโt seen or heard from Elijah in days, and I couldnโt help but worry about him. Is he okay? What is he thinking? The last time we spoke, things were tense, and now, with everything that had happened, I could only hope he was alright.My phone rang, breaking through my anguished disposition. I glanced at the screen and instantly felt relieved when I saw Danielโs name.โDaniel,โ I said, answering quickly. Just hearing his voice somehow gave me solace and hope in the midst of the current situation. โSophia, are you okay?โ His concern was evident, and it made me feel so grateful. โI heard everything from Kayla. Iโm so

Elijahโs POVThe moment I stepped into the lobby of my office building, I felt at home. This was definitely oddly comforting, providing a small slice of normalcy in a world that had recently gone haywire. I barely registered the greetings from the receptionist as I made my way to the elevators. My mind was still consumed with the events of the past week. Juliaโor whoever she really wasโhad left me with mixed emotions of anger, relief, and confusion. The wedding that never happened felt like a distant memory now, one that I was grateful hadn't come to pass. I never loved her that way, anyway, I thought sadly. But she still betrayed me, and I cared so much about her. Surprisingly, it hurt a lot. Whatโs more, I was no closer to finding Sabrina than I'd been all those years ago. The realization that I was back to square one was hard to swallow.As the elevator doors closed, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I glanced at the screen and saw Trevis's name. โHey, Trevis,โ I answered, my voice

Sophiaโs POVI pushed open the glass doors of the hospital, the antiseptic smell hitting my nose and making my stomach churn. My heart was pounding so loudly I could barely hear the chatter of the nurses at the front desk. The world around me seemed to blur as I approached the reception, my feet feeling heavy and unsteady.โGood afternoon, how can I help you?โ the receptionist asked, her smile professional but kind.โI'm here to pick up some DNA test results,โ I managed to say, my voice barely above a whisper. My hands trembled as I handed her the slip with my details.She typed something into her computer, then nodded. โOne moment, please.โI stood there, trying to breathe steadily. My mind raced with a million thoughts. What will happen if I turn out to be Sabrina? Will I tell Elijah? Do I even want to be Sabrina?โHere you go,โ the receptionist said, handing me a sealed envelope.โThank you,โ I said, barely audible. I took the envelope, my fingers trembling so much I almost dropped

Sophiaโs POVMy heart pounded hard as I waited for Julia to answer. She seemed taken aback for a little while. Then suddenly, her expression twisted into a cruel smirk, and she let out an evil laugh.โYou really are a stupid woman, Sophia. You donโt deserve to be with Elijah. You shouldโve realized by now that all he cared about was who Sabrina was. Not you. It was never about you. And besides, you already left him once, so why bother going back and being treated the same way?โI was shocked, the words stinging like a slap to the face. But I refused to let her see how much it affected me. I took a deep breath, trying to remain calm and composed. โYou didnโt answer my question, Julia.โHer smirk faded, replaced by a look of annoyance and anger. โYou may be the real Sabrina, but you donโt even remember anything! What use are you to Elijah? If not for your child, he wouldnโt be bothered with being with you.โI gasped. โSo youโve always known that Iโm Sabrina?โShe didnโt answer me direct

Sophiaโs POVThe car ride to the airport was anything but quiet. Kayla and Connor were deep in conversation up front, their voices occasionally punctuated by bursts of laughter or sharp exchanges. I, however, was wrapped up in my own world, seated alone in the backseat, thinking about the last conversation I had with Elijah. Kaylaโs voice suddenly broke through the chatter. โYou know, I just canโt wrap my head around why weโre even bothering to send Serena off. I mean, sheโs not as evil as Julia, but sheโs still got a lot of skeletons in her closet. Plus, she caused a lot of trouble too! Remember when she spiked your drink, Sophia? Gosh, that was cruel. And sheโs stolen plenty from Elijahโs company too.โConnor glanced at her, a trace of bemusement in his eyes. โIt seems like Serenaโs really turned things around. Sheโs made amends, after all.โI could barely follow what they were talking about, as my mind kept replaying every detail of my conversation with Elijah. The way heโd looke

Elijahโs POVI tried to stay focused on my conversation with Serena, but my attention kept drifting to the scene unfolding nearby. Sophia and Adrian were saying their goodbyes, and despite my best efforts, I couldnโt tear my eyes away. Kaylaโs voice carried over the noise of the terminal, her teasing tone clear even from a distance. I couldnโt quite make out her words, but it seemed like she was playfully probing Adrian about something, maybe insinuating that thereโs something between him and Sophia. Thereโs nothing between them, is there? I thought, disturbed. Is that story starting over again?!No, no, no. Itโs not possible. That was another voice in my head. โWhat are you looking at?โ Serenaโs voice brought me back to the present. She touched my shoulder lightly, her fingers warm against my skin.I glanced at her, trying to shake off the distraction. โJust... distracted. Itโs been a long day. And weโve all been through so much.โShe smiled gratefully, her eyes soft. โYes, thatโs

Elijahโs POVโSophia, can you ride with me?โ I blurted out.They all stopped walking and turned toward me. Kayla and Connor exchanged meaningful glances, communicating with their eyes. I donโt really care what they think. I just have to talk to Sophia now. Sophia hesitated, her gaze moving rapidly between us. Connor finally broke the silence.โWe actually have a date planned after this,โ he said with a grin, nudging Kayla. Then looking at Sophia, he added, โYou should take Elijah up on his offer.โI found myself grinning at Connor. He was definitely a loyal employee and friend, always had been. Sophiaโs hesitation wavered, and she looked back at me. โAlright, if youโre sure itโs not too much trouble.โI smiled, relieved. โNot at all. I wanted to talk to you about Reese anyway. Maybe we can plan a family getaway or something.โโOoh,โ Kayla couldnโt help whispering. Sophia threw her a glance, and she shut up immediately but was still grinning. It actually puzzled me, wondering if she

Sophiaโs POVA hush of golden light slipped through the curtains, draping the room in warmth and calm. It felt like the kind of morning that only came after surviving the storm.Weeks had passed since the chaos faded, and for once, the quiet didnโt feel temporaryโit felt earned. I stirred slowly, eyes drifting open to find Elijah beside me, his hand resting lightly over mine. I studied him in the silence, taking in the softened edges of a man whoโd carried us through fire and finally found peace.I leaned over and pressed a kiss to his cheek. His eyes fluttered open, and when they focused on me, he smiled sleepily."Morning," he murmured."Morning," I whispered back, letting my fingers trace the line of his jaw. "Can you believe we actually get to wake up like this? No chaos, no dangerโjust us."He pulled me closer and kissed my forehead. "I could get used to this."Just as I was about to say something, the door burst open."Mommy! Daddy!" Reese called out, followed quickly by Roxy an

Elijahโs POVWe weaved through the cracked streets, deeper into a part of the city that felt like time had forgotten it. Boarded-up windows, rusted signage, buildings collapsing in on themselves. This was the kind of place where ghosts lingered, and today, we were chasing one of them."Weโre close," Joe muttered from the front seat, his eyes scanning the GPS on his phone. "This is the last possible location that fits Hugo's hideouts."Antoine sat beside me in the back, silent but focused. His jaw was tight, hands clenched. I still didnโt know if I fully trusted him, but I couldnโt deny this: he was here, risking his neck like the rest of us. And right now, Iโd take any edge we could get.I have to find Grandpa George. For Sophia.When we pulled up to the burned-out remains of what once looked like a chapel, a chill shot down my spine. The stone structure still stood, half-charred, the wooden beams above blackened and skeletal. Nature had tried to reclaim itโvines curling around scorch
My Ex-Husband is Out of Controlย ย ย CHAPTER 620
Elijahโs POVโSophiaโฆโHer name was the only thing in my mind as I stormed through the decaying hallway, boots slamming against rotting wood, gun drawn. My pulse thundered in my ears. The floor creaked beneath every step, but I didnโt slow down. I couldnโt.Joe and his men fanned out behind me, covering corners, checking every room.We were running out of time.ThenโA scream.My heart nearly stopped. It was her.I charged forward, slamming my shoulder into the door at the end of the hall. It burst openโand I saw red.Morgana was on the ground, gasping for air as Hugoโs hand squeezed her throat, and across the room, Sophia was trying to drag herself toward them, her face pale and streaked with tears.โNO!โ I shouted, and without hesitation, I raised my gun.Hugo turned just as I fired.The bullet tore through his shoulder. He howled, stumbling back and releasing Morgana, who crumpled to the floor, coughing violently.I crossed the room in three strides and tackled Hugo before he could

Sophiaโs POVThe first thing I felt was cold.A biting chill that wrapped around my arms and legs like a second set of restraints. Then came the pressureโtight, scratchy ropes cutting into my wrists. My head pounded like a drum, fog thick behind my eyes. Everything smelled like mildew and dust.My eyes struggled to make sense of the shadows.The room was dim, lit only by a weak bulb overhead that flickered like it couldnโt decide if it wanted to stay on. I was on a metal chair, hands tied behind my back, ankles secured to the legs. The air tasted stale and old, like the walls had been sealed off from the world for decades.Panic bloomed in my chest.My brother Chris. What had become of him?I jerked forward, straining against the ropes. โChris!โ I called, my voice hoarse and raw. โWhere is he?!โI noticed some movement in the darkness. A shadow stirred in the corner of the room. I froze as a figure stepped out into the light. Tall. Gray-streaked beard. Sunken eyes like old coals. A d

Sophiaโs POVโThis is insane,โ Elijah muttered, rubbing a hand over his face. โWeโre relying on Antoine to lead us to Hugo. Does no one else see how crazy that is?โJoe, who had been checking messages on his phone, barely looked up. โWe donโt have another choice.โI watched Elijah pace the room, his frustration clear. He wasnโt wrong, but I knew that if there was even the smallest chance of finding Grandpa George, we had to take it.Joe sighed and turned to Antoine. โYou sure you can make him bite?โAntoine shrugged. โI know Hugo. Heโs a cockroachโhe wonโt go down without a fight. But if he thinks his last hiding spot is compromised, heโll make a move. Thatโs when we strike.โElijah muttered something under his breath, but I didnโt catch it. Joeโs phone buzzed. As he studied the screen, he said, โWe got something. Two possible locations.โElijah straightened. โThen letโs move.โThey all hurried out, and I had the sudden, overwhelming urge to call Elijah backโto make sure heโd pick up

Sophiaโs POVMy mother sat on the couch, clutching Grandma Evelynโs hands, trying to calm her down. My father stood near the window, staring out into the darkness, his face pale and unreadable.Chris and Connor were huddled over a laptop at the dining table, analyzing security footage.Joe was already there, speaking into his phone, barking orders to his contacts.But no one had any answers yet.And Grandpa George was still missing.I turned to my grandmother, kneeling in front of her. โGrandmaโdid you see anything? Anyone suspicious? A car, a stranger?โHer red-rimmed eyes filled with fresh tears as she shook her head. โNoโฆ nothing. I donโt know how this happened.โ Her voice broke. โGeorge was just in his studyโฆ and then he was gone.โElijah placed a hand on my shoulder, grounding me, but I could feel the rage simmering beneath his calm exterior. He wasnโt just worriedโhe was furiousJust then, Chris snapped his fingers at the screen. โWeโve got something.โConnor turned the laptop t

Sophiaโs POVWe had been trying to track down both Antoine and Hugo, but they had vanished like ghosts.No leads. No sightings. Nothing.Lucas had called me earlier, still searching, still digging. Even Elijah and his contacts have been working doubly hard. But so far, theyโd come up empty too. It was frustratingโknowing the danger was out there, lurking, waiting for the right moment to strike.But tonightโฆTonight, we werenโt going to think about it.Tonight, we were here to celebrate.After all, Lila and Adrianโs joint concert was finally happening. This was their moment, their dream unfolding before them.And for the first time in what felt like forever, we were all together, enjoying something good.Kayla was everywhere at once, her headset on, clipboard in hand, barking last-minute instructions into her earpiece. She was stressed, franticโฆ but glowing. Even though there could have been other people to take care of all this from her company, she wanted to be in charge, to personal

Emilyโs POVโWalk away, Hugo,โ Antoine said sharply, stepping in front of us as if to shield us from the strange man.The name triggered a memory.Chris had mentioned it just yesterdayโHugo Tournier. Suddenly, I remembered. Itโs the name Sophia and Elijah had been trying to track down. The man who had supposedly changed Sophiaโs life forever.And now heโs here. Why?!My hands instinctively balled up as my heart slammed against my ribs. Could this really be the same man?Hugoโs expression darkened with satisfaction as he took another step, exuding an air of quiet arrogance.โWell, well,โ he drawled, his voice smooth but laced with something sinister. โYouโre not as fun outside of prison, Antoine.โPhoebeโs grip on my wrist tightened. โEmily, letโs go,โ she muttered under her breath.I wanted to. Every instinct screamed at me to turn and leave. But I couldnโtโnot yet.Hugo came forward, his eyes staring straight at me. He gave a low chuckle, mocking. โItโs interesting to meet Sabrina Ba
My Ex-Husband is Out of Controlย ย ย CHAPTER 614
Emilyโs POVI refused to flinch. Even as Antoine stood in front of me, blocking my way, I forced my body to stay still, to stay firm.I squared my shoulders, my fingers curling into fists at my sides. โMove.โAntoine didnโt budge. His gaze shifted between me and Phoebe, like he wasnโt sure if Iโd actually listen or turn and run.โIโm not here to fight,โ he said, his voice calm. โI just want to talk.โPhoebeโs grip on my arm tightened, and her anger was immediate, sharp.โOh, hell no,โ she snapped. โWhat are you even doing here? Havenโt you caused enough trouble?โI inhaled slowly, forcing myself to stay calm. I wasnโt going to let him see me feeling nervous or affected by him. Antoine exhaled, his face unreadable. โI just wanted to talk.โPhoebe laughed coldly. โTalk? You took Jared, Antoine. Without permission. Do you have any idea what you put us through?โโI know,โ he admitted. โI made a mistake.โPhoebe scoffed. โA mistake?โI stepped forward, my gaze hardening. โPlease, Antoine.
