Chapter 26

Sophie Clarke

•••

I was trying to reply to an email my assistant had sent when my phone rang.

It was Amanda.

I answered immediately because I had been planning to call her anyway to ask her to come over for Mia’s birthday party.

“Hey, babe…” I said as I answered.

“Sophie,” Amanda said sharply, her voice tight and also pissed. “So he knows?” She asked.

I sat up firmly. “Who? And knows what? I’m confused babe, what’s going on?”

She cleared her throat. “Alex came to my place.”

The words came as a shock because I would have never expected that.

“He what!?” I demanded, already feeling heat crawl up my spine.

“He showed up earlier,” Amanda continued quickly. “He asked for your location, pleading seriously. He said he needed to meet his daughter and also apologize to you.”

Anger was evident on my face, I felt so furious. What the fuck was wrong with Alex? Going over to my best friend’s house? He must be out of his mind. How did he even get her address?

    Chapter 25Alexander Cole •••I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that I had a daughter all along. I was restless as fuck. I was pissed, not at Sophie, but at myself. I was even more pissed at the fact that Ethan knew about my child and not me. Hearing it from him destroyed something inside me.I kept replaying the scene from five years ago when I chased her out, when I refused to believe her, treated her like shit, wishing I could undo it all. I was pacing aimlessly around the house, I couldn’t keep calm. I mean, no one would be able to rest after finding out about a child. I’ve always wanted children. Even though I made life a living hell for Sophie. I wanted children, but not with her. But now I needed her even more. Yes, I had started developing feelings for Sophie. It was unusual but I did. I couldn’t even claim any right over my child, our child. I know I was at fault. All I needed to do was plead, try to win her back, or give me a chance to know my baby. I

    Chapter 24Sophie Clarke•••I needed to have a warm bath so I got into the bathroom. I couldn’t help but still think about what Alex’s next move was going to be given that he found out about Mia. I was really worried. I couldn’t afford to lose my daughter, I knew what Alex was capable of. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath, I knew quite well that if he tried to do anything corny, to take my daughter from me I would fight. So I needed to relax my nerves a little. I came out of the bathroom, wrapped myself in a towel, and then a text message appeared on my phone. I decided to get dressed first before checking it out. I wore an oversized tee and my hair tied up in a bun. I picked up my phone and left the room, I placed the phone on the dining table and went straight to grab ice cream from the fridge. The phone vibrated again. It was a text message, two actually. They were from Ethan and Alex. I opened Alex’s own first. It read, [I’m sorry for questioning you even if I

    Chapter 23Sophie Clarke•••I rolled my suitcase across the airport terminal. My flight back to California was in forty minutes. I exhaled, excited to be going back home, to my daughter, and never run into Alex again. Just as I stepped into the queue for boarding, my phone vibrated. Unknown number. I answered the call. “Hello.” Alex’s voice echoed from the other end of the line.My breath hitched. I frowned and answered sharply. “How did you get my number?” “That doesn’t matter right now, please just hear me out.” He sounded desperate. “Please, Sophie.”I clicked my tongue. “You’re stalking me now? Answer me. How did you get my number?” Before he could even respond, I added. “As a matter of fact don’t call me again.”The loudspeaker from the airport was announcing final calls from passengers, which Alex heard. “You’re going back?” He asked. I exhaled sharply. “Don’t call me again.”“Sophie… wait, please just listen to…”I ended the call before he could finish and silenced m

    Chapter 22Alexander Cole•••What was I doing? Apologizing to Sophie? It felt so surreal.Who would have thought that a day would come when I would kneel to apologize to her? I stood there, staring at the slammed door, wondering if I had started generating feelings for Sophie or if I was just becoming a better person. Maybe all those years, I actually liked her but just suppressed my feelings because I didn’t think that she was good enough for me. Seeing her again just ignited something in me. I messed up at the restaurant, and I let my anger take control once more. Ethan was the cause of it this time. Why couldn’t he just stop meddling with things that belonged to me? First my company, now my ex-wife?I bit my lips and walked away from the door. I hoped I would see her again. As I drove back home, I felt so restless. My maid had already prepared dinner for me but I wasn’t in the mood for that. I lost my appetite, I was just thinking about Sophie. She flooded my memory. Why

    Chapter 21 Sophie Clarke •••It was 3 p.m. the following day already, we agreed to have dinner that day but I wasn’t feeling up to it. I was having second thoughts. I wanted to come up with some excuse and say I had to leave but he knew I wasn’t leaving for two days. Maybe I could say I had an urgent meeting to attend to in California or my daughter was sick. I was the one who came up with the thought of having dinner again, so I couldn’t back out. I just had to go even though I felt like it was a mistake. He said he was going to pick me up. Well, that seemed too serious. I could use a cab but he refused. He was going to arrive by 6 p.m. so I started getting ready. Because I knew myself, I would take the whole time to get ready. Especially to decide on an outfit. He arrived at the hotel and called me. I walked out of the lobby, and he was parked right by the entrance and leaning against the car. He straightened when he saw me. His expression was warm and soft. “You look beau
