Chapter 30

Sophie Clarke

•••

I remained seated long after the door had closed behind Ethan.

I exhaled slowly and leaned back in my chair, letting my head rest on the edge. I took out my laptop from my bag pretending to read while my mind kept replaying the conversation we had and how I had reacted.

Was I rude?

The thought slipped into my mind, and I could hear my tone in my head but it seemed controlled and professional. Maybe… too sharp. I had seen a brief flicker of sadness in his eyes, the silence before he walked away.

The silence was what made me feel unsettled the most, I felt like the worst person. Like I sounded too rude.

I straightened my posture in my chair and folded my arms, as I tried to convince myself that I wasn’t rude.

“No. I wasn’t rude.” I muttered to myself.

I told myself that firmly, I was only trying to be professional, create that boundary, and be cautious.

Ethan made me learn the hard way what would happen when you let people know too much.

So I was ju

    Chapter 36Sophie Clarke•••Mia wrapped her arms around Amanda with all the strength her little frame could manage.“You came! You came!” she squealed. “You didn’t tell me you were coming!”Amanda laughed and knelt properly to hug her. “It was a surprise,” she said, pressing a kiss into Mia’s hair. “I wanted to see your face when I opened the door.”“Yayyy!” She sounded so excited. Amanda replied. “I missed you. I also got something for you.”Amanda pulled out a doll from her suitcase and handed it to Mia. I just stood there watching them display love and affection towards each other like I was invisible. I just shook my head and giggled. Mia was so happy to add another doll to her collection. “Whoa, thank you aunty Amanda.” She thanked her. “Is this my birthday present?”I chuckled. “Mia.”Amanda laughed. “No, love. Your birthday gift is better than this, trust me.” Mia ran to show the nanny her doll and went straight into her room, maybe to show the other dolls too. I laughed

    Chapter 35Alexander Cole •••A soft knock on the door woke me up from my sleep. I’d spent the entire day locked up in my hotel room. I was too depressed to even go outside. Everything that had happened at Sophie’s house kept replaying in my head. If someone had told me years ago that I’d be sad and depressed because of my ex-wife, Sophie, I wouldn’t have believed them. But there I was, feeling all the weight pressing down on me. It felt like my whole world was crashing down and I couldn’t do anything about it. I managed to drag myself up from the bed to answer the door, hoping it was room service. But I stopped and looked in the mirror and I let out a chuckle because I looked like someone who just escaped from a zoo. I looked so drained and helpless. When I opened the door slightly, a lady stood there and asked if she could clean up. I let her in because the room was looking like a mess. I opened the door fully and let her in. I went straight into the bathroom to freshen mys

    Chapter 34Sophie Clarke•••Alex would be so dead once Amanda gets here. He had crossed a line. Now there was no reason for her to give him a little respect. A few years ago, he was my husband, and that was why she couldn’t intervene or say anything to him. Now, he was my ex-husband, who wouldn’t respect my boundaries. I tried calling her again but she didn’t take my calls. “Oh, God! Amanda.” And she wasn’t kidding about coming the next day, if it wasn’t late, Amanda would have been at the airport. I still kept calling, and Amanda finally picked up. “You don’t have to come tomorrow, I’ve got it all settled.”I’m not even sure she heard what I said. She went ahead to yell, not at me but at her boyfriend. I could hear it. “So you just gave him?” She asked her boyfriend. I wasn’t surprised because I suspected he gave the location to Alex. I knew she would be so furious at him. Why couldn’t he just listen to her? “Babe, can you believe he went behind my back and gave Alex you

    Chapter 33Sophie Clarke•••My brows furrowed in disbelief when I heard Alex knock on the door again. He had the nerve to still stand there. “Not again,” I said quietly as I walked up to the door. I rolled my eyes when I saw him and cast him an angry look. Alex dared to ask me if he could touch Mia. I mean, I told him her name and that was already enough for him. Alex knelt, pleading, thinking it would soften me but no way. I couldn’t let him in, not then, never. I cleared my throat and asked him to leave, if not I would file for a restraining order against him, and I wasn’t joking about it. I slammed the door right in his face, and I stood by the window peeping to see if he would leave already. I saw him picking up his suitcase and I felt relieved. My heart leapt for joy, at least I could try to have a peaceful night. I hoped Alex listened to me when I told him to be on the next flight to New York. I wouldn’t tolerate it the next time he decided to show up. He finally walke

    Chapter 32Alexander Cole •••I stood in front of Sophie’s door with my suitcase and my hands tucked into my pockets. I had been there for a long while, waiting for her to get back. I knew it would upset her, showing up unannounced but I had no other choice. I wanted to make things right. She finally arrived and I had been pleading with her, since Ethan told me about my child I hadn’t been at peace. I knew I messed up when I let her go. I couldn’t live with that. I was glad to see her when she came to New York. She wasn’t willing to hear me out. Sophie had threatened me. That was when I realized she hated me more than anything because Sophie would die for me a few years ago, but now, she looked me straight in the eye and threatened to have me arrested. Fuck! What had I done?I didn’t stop begging, not until I heard a tiny voice from inside. “Mommy.”I paused. My breath caught. When the door opened, my world stilled. A girl. A very beautiful girl. When she looked at me with

    Chapter 31Sophie Clarke•••For God’s sake, why couldn’t this man leave me alone? Showing up at my house was the height of it all, I made it clear to him that I didn’t want to see him. How the hell did he even get my address? I mean… he’s Alexander Cole but no one knew my address, so how? I didn’t want to create a scene because Mia was inside, and I didn’t want her to see him. I was walking towards my door, acting like he wasn’t even there anymore. But he stood right in front of the door, preventing me from opening it. “Alex, let me through,” I demanded through gritted teeth. “Don’t make things worse.”He just stood there, looking like a lost puppy. Like the whole world had been against him, like a saint. Alex was far from being a saint. He was the devil himself. This new act of his was a show. “What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice tight as hell. “Alex, why are you here? If you think I’d let you see my daughter, you’re out of your God damn mind.”He tightened the grip o
