ログインChapter 74Sophie Clarke•••It was morning already, we had both slept off. When I woke up, I slowly glanced at the table. There were two glasses and an empty bottle of wine. We had a few glasses of wine or maybe more than a few. I couldn’t tell again because the bottle was practically empty. I tried to get up but Ethan’s arm was wrapped around me. He was still sleeping, and I didn’t want to wake him. I brought a hand to my forehead and rubbed it gently, exhaling slowly; my head ached. It was probably because of the wine. Ethan was so warm. Even if I needed to get up I didn’t want to, I felt so comfortable. His arm was resting loosely around my waist. So I just lay there for a few seconds. I knew how our night started, it was blissful. We kissed for a few minutes before I opened the wine for both of us to drink and see a movie. But I guess we both got distracted by each other and turned off the television. Everything we had done came rushing back to me. I lifted my head just
Chapter 72 Alexander Cole ••• I sent the flowers to Sophie because I thought they might help. She wasn’t willing to talk to me and I ran out of ways to convince her. Maybe the idea of sending her the flowers was stupid but I didn’t know what else to do. I dropped Mia off at school before I headed to the office. Mia was starting to feel comfortable and I was pleased. She waved at me with a faint smile on her face, at least that was a good sign. Of course, I waved back happily and watched her walk down into her class. The flowers had already been delivered, and I was already in my office. I kept my phone so close to me, staring at it waiting for her call. I had chosen the flowers carefully, I didn’t know her favorite because I had never cared to ask or surprise her before but I remembered she mentioned roses a few years back, I just hoped she liked them. For some reason, I thought seeing the flowers would soften her heart. I thought maybe she would understand

Chapter 71 Sophie Clarke ••• Two months had passed already. I was trying to live without Mia around physically but we talked every day, so it felt like she was still close. She had started a new school already. She even said she preferred her school there to her old school. She made new friends so easily. Mia usually spent some time at her grandparents’ place. She even met my parents, they were so happy to meet her. I was happy that she was okay, I had even planned a visit with her when her school would be on holiday so we could spend some time together. Despite communicating with Mia everyday, I still refused to talk to Alex. There was no way in hell I’d forgive him. I just had to act happy for my daughter. Alex still pleaded we talked, even as friends but I wasn’t willing to. He gave me reasons why he did what he did but I was fucking tired of his pointless excuses. I left all that and decided to accept it and move on. He said he was giving Mia the best life
Chapter 70Sophie Clarke•••I inhaled sharply and sighed, pressing my lips together. I sat close to Ethan on the couch. Ethan kept looking at me as I acted so restless but he didn’t say a word. I wasn’t even expecting it; what was I supposed to say to him? I wasn’t even in the mood. He still kept quiet. “Won’t you say something?” I started. “Why did you come over?”He scoffed and shook his head. “You don’t get it, do you?”I leaned back and folded my arms. “Get what, Ethan?” I said as I turned to face him. “Sophie, I like you. Don’t you see it? I was…” Ethan said firmly. My eyes widened. “Ethan… uhm…” I cut in immediately. It wasn’t the right time for all of that, I had always known he liked me, but I had decided to turn a blind eye and ignore his hints, thinking he would eventually stop. I wasn’t ready to be with a man. “Let me finish, Soph.” He started. He smiled at me softly, then gently lifted my chin with his hand, tilting my face toward his until my eyes met his. “I l
Chapter 69Sophie Clarke•••I had been crying so much that my head started aching really badly. When I spoke to Mia on the phone, her voice broke me. She sounded unhappy and lonely. I wondered if she ate or if she had enough sleep, I just couldn’t stop thinking. Alexander was a cold, heartless man. There was no way I could ever forgive him. How could he do this to her? How could he?I understood that he didn’t care about how I felt or how it would affect me but he still didn’t care about his daughter or how this sudden decision would affect her mental health either. Mia was already growing fond of her new school. Now, she had to start all over. I just couldn’t help myself from thinking. I was worried and broken. I hadn’t felt that way in a very long time. Alex just always found a way of ruining things. He likes to take the light from people which was actually so sickening. How would I cope without Mia? How would she cope without me? She was still a child for God’s sake! She
Chapter 11Sophie Clarke•••I hated how my parents reacted to the divorce. We all wanted the same thing—to get my husband back, but it didn’t justify their reactions. They treated me so badly and blamed me for all that happened. It was so inconsiderate of them to speak to me in that way. I storm
Chapter 10Sophie Clark •••My eyes burned with rage as I tried to wrap my head around what just happened. Even though I knew Alex didn’t love me, he had never put his hands on me for all three years we have been married. Why did he become violent all of a sudden? He pulled my hair and I was to
Chapter 6Alexander Cole•••I didn’t miss the hushed whispers and side talks after the drama that happened with Sophie at the bar. But I didn’t care about that. All I could focus on was how to find a way to apologize to Leila. She had finally come back into my life and I didn’t want to lose her
Chapter 13Sophie Clarke•••My chest tightened and for a moment, I forgot how to breathe properly. What was I seeing? I couldn’t believe he brought her to our matrimonial home. God, Alex had an insane amount of audacity.I blinked, tears spilling fast. He was even embarrassing me in her presence
