My Ex-Husband is Out of Controlย ย ย CHAPTER 328
Sophiaโs POVItโs time, I thought, smoothing down the flowy skirt of my wedding gown, feeling my heart beating hard against my chest. The big day is finally here. I could hear the soft, melodic strains of the violin as the door slowly opened, and it felt as if time itself was holding its breath. I stood on the threshold, peeking through the ornate wooden doors of the historic ballroom, my heart pounding like a drum. The music changed, flowing from the classical notes of the violin into the tender, resonant tones of Lilaโs voice. Her singing, delicate and evocative, wove through the air like a gentle caress.Everything inside the ballroom was a dream come to lifeโflowers cascading in every hue imaginable, candles flickering in a symphony of light, and chandeliers dripping with crystals that shimmered like stars. With each deliberate step toward the front, I let my radiant smile shine brightly. The gasps, and claps of the crowd faded into the distance, eclipsed by the rhythmic poundi

Chrisโs POVI watched with amusement as Emily, a pretty woman with flowing brown hair, took another generous bite of my motherโs cake. Her eyes fluttered closed in bliss, and she murmured, โThis is oh so heavenly.โKayla, seated beside her, grinned from ear to ear. โIsnโt it just the best? Sophia and Chrisโs mom baked it.โEmily looked up, her expression a blend of delight and surprise. โOh, really? Please thank her for me. I could eat this all day.โAs she gazed into my eyes, I found myself feeling enamored by her presence. Kayla chuckled, then turned to me, her eyes sparkling. โChris, I just realized, you two havenโt met yet. Emily, this is Chris. Chris, meet Emily.โI was glad for the introduction. Dinner had been going on for a while, and as much as I enjoyed the company of the people around the table, Emily had been a particularly intriguing presence. With the meal wrapping up and everyone else drifting off to mingle or fetch drinks, I seized the chance.Emily extended her hand

Emilyโs POVโAlright, ladies and gentlemen, itโs party time!โ the emceeโs voice finally announced after the entire program was done. A wave of cheers and applause erupted from the crowd as the mood of the celebration shifted. The live band took the stage, filling the room with upbeat, danceable tunes, while strobing lights began to flash, adding to the electrifying atmosphere.I couldn't help but smile as I glanced at the newlyweds. Sophia and Elijah twirled on the dance floor, their daughter Reese nestled between them, laughing as they danced in unison. I shook my head in disbelief. Their love story was like something from a romance novel, and yet here it was, unfolding before my eyes.I canโt imagine ever getting back with Antoine. But Sophia felt the same way years ago, and now, here they are. My hand instinctively moved to my belly, a small, secretive gesture that no one would notice. I wondered if Iโd ever let Antoine be part of this babyโs life. I guess only time will tell. J

Elijahโs POVI stood near the edge of the historic ballroom, my gaze fixed on Sophia as she moved gracefully among the remaining guests.Sophia was surrounded by her familyโher parents, Mr. and Mrs. Baker, and her grandparents, Evelyn and George. She dazzled with her glowing beauty, her smile lighting up the room as she laughed at something her dad had said. It was a sight that filled me with indescribable joy.I couldn't believe how lucky I was to have her back in my life, to be standing here with her, savoring this second chance. The evening had been nothing short of magical, and seeing her so happy, so in her element, was all I could have hoped for.โHey, Elijah, you look lost in thought,โ Trevisโs voice cut through my reverie. I turned to find him standing beside me with a concerned look. โEverything alright, man?โโIโm just taking it all in,โ I said, gesturing to the lively scene. โItโs hard to believe this is really happening.โTrevis followed my gaze and nodded. โSophia looks i

Chrisโs POVThe hallway was beginning to fill up with people as the party wound down, leaving behind a trail of disheveled glamor and laughter.Emily stood by the exit, her hands trembling as she hastily wiped at her tears. Her mascara had smeared, creating dark streaks down her cheeks. I could see the distress in her eyes and the effort she was making to pull herself together.โEmily, letโs get out of here,โ I said, gently taking her arm. โCome with me.โShe looked at me, her eyes red and swollen. โChris, IโI donโt think I canโโโJust trust me,โ I urged.We walked briskly down the hall, the muffled sounds of the party fading behind us. I guided her through a side door and as we reached the stairwell, I took her hand, leading her up to the rooftop. The security guards had long since left, and the area was supposed to be off-limits. But who cares? I just had to get her out of there fast. When we got there, Emily looked around, her breath coming in shallow gasps. She looked a bit conf

Sophiaโs POVThe wedding party had come to an end, and I couldnโt stop smiling. The night had been everything Iโd hoped for, filled with laughter, love, and the warmth of friends and family. As the last guests said their goodbyes and wished us well, Elijah and I stood side by side, our hands intertwined. We exchanged a glance, the kind that said more than words ever could: the real journey was just beginning.Elijah squeezed my hand as we watched the final guests leave. โReady to check on our little one?โ he asked softly.โYes,โ I nodded, my heart swelling with joy and contentment. A while ago, Kayla had mentioned that Reese was getting sleepy, so she and Connor had taken her to the holding room to rest.We made our way down the hallway, our footsteps echoing in the quiet, now-empty venue. When we reached the room, I gently pushed the door open. There she was, my sweet Reese, fast asleep on the couch, still in her pretty gown. Her tiny chest rose and fell with each peaceful breath, he

Sophiaโs POVโWow, this place is unbelievable,โ I murmured with awe as I stepped into the villaโs grand entrance.The scent of fresh flowers mingled with the earthy aroma of the vineyard that stretched out behind the house, creating a perfume that was both intoxicating and calming. The villa itself was a masterpieceโrustic yet elegant, with stone walls that seemed to have soaked up centuries of sunlight, and wooden beams that spoke of a time long past. The warm Tuscan sun streamed through the tall arched windows, casting a golden glow over everything it touched.Elijah came up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist, his lips brushing against my neck. โItโs perfect, isnโt it?โ he whispered into my ear, his breath sending shivers down my spine.โPerfect doesnโt even begin to cover it,โ I said, turning in his arms to face him. His eyes sparkled with the same excitement I felt bubbling inside me. โI canโt believe weโre actually here in Tuscany.โHe smiled, that slow, heart-stopping

Elijahโs POVI couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Serena standing there, looking as if she had just stepped out of a high-end fashion magazine. Her hair was different, shorter and chic, but that unmistakable confidence, that self-assured air, was exactly the same. She was in her element, exuding the same effortless charm that had drawn people to her before, including me. She smiled at me in surprise. โFancy seeing you here, Elijah,โ she said lightly. โIโm on vacation, just enjoying a little break from my studies. I had no idea you and Sophia planned to have your honeymoon here.โโYeah,โ I replied, trying to keep my tone neutral, though I could feel the old memories stirring, memories Iโd rather leave buried. I glanced toward the boutique, catching a glimpse of Sophia through the window. She was looking our way, and the last thing I wanted was for her to think this was anything like before. I waved at her eagerly, hoping to ease her mind. The last thing I needed was Serena sowing an

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

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.

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

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.
