Alle Kapitel von My Ex-Husband is Out of Control: Kapitel 71 – Kapitel 80

Sophia’s POVI stared at Elijah in shock, unable to believe what I had just heard. I’d always thought before that he favored Julia over me. Elijah stood firm, his jaw set in a way that brooked no argument. “No, Sophia,” he repeated, “I won’t agree to Chris using Julia’s name for your work.” Then he turned his gaze toward Chris disapprovingly. “What kind of request is that, anyway?”Before Chris could respond, though, Elijah went on, raising his voice just a little bit and showing his emotions. “Besides, Julia has hurt Sophia before because of that plagiarism issue. This is just unacceptable. I don’t want Sophia to deal with similar problems again. And also, it won’t be good for Urban Next if any of it comes out. Right, Trevis?”Trevis, standing off to the side, looked just as surprised as I felt. “Of course!” He immediately agreed with Elijah. Then he said, “Chris, are you serious? This is insulting to a designer, especially one of Sophia’s caliber.”Chris shifted uncomfortably, his

Julia’s POVToday is yet another day for me to prove my worth in this company, I thought as I stepped into the bustling lobby of Urban Next Design Studio. I had a huge smile on my face, excited to work on my current project and to show off my skills. I’ll prove to all of them that I’m really a lot better than Sophia, that I don’t have to copy her work just to be noticed. Just then, I caught sight of Chris and Trevis who were deep in conversation. I was about to say hi, but then I noticed them lowering their voices when I approached. I couldn't shake the feeling that they were discussing something they didn't want me to hear. I brushed off the paranoia, reminding myself that I was here for a purpose.“Hey, Julia,” Chris greeted me with a warm smile, giving me a quick hug. “How are you?”We had some small talk, but it was obvious that they didn’t want me around. Hence, I decided to just make a beeline for Elijah’s office upstairs. I needed to speak with him, to set things right betwe

Sophia’s POVThat bitch, I thought angrily. She’s gone too far this time. I won’t take this sitting down. I arrived at Serena's house with Elijah, my heart racing. We needed answers about Reese, and I certainly had no plans of leaving until she told me where she'd taken my daughter. As we entered her living room, Serena greeted us with a warm smile. She was still wearing the suit that she probably had on at the office. I quickly scanned the room, but there was no sign of the black hooded jacket we had seen in the security footage. Was it even a woman? I thought with great doubt. Perhaps it had been a man. But then, Elijah was so sure it was Serena’s car. “Hey, come on in. What brings you guys here?” Serena asked cheerfully, gesturing for us to take a seat.“We're looking for Reese,” Elijah said, his voice urgent. “Do you know where she is?”Serena's smile faded, replaced by a look of confusion. "Who's Reese? Am I missing something here?"Elijah and I exchanged meaningful looks. I

Elijah’s POVI left Sophia’s apartment, feeling an emptiness that seemed to grow with each passing second. I thought we were making progress, but clearly, Daniel still held a place in her heart that I couldn’t touch.When I reached my car, I heard a ping from my phone. I quickly grabbed it, hoping it was Sophia. But it was a message from Julia:Is it true Serena has a child?My brows furrowed as I read the message. What was Julia talking about? I quickly typed back:What do you mean?Within seconds, another message came through. It was a photo of Serena on the street, holding hands with a little girl. Julia’s message followed.Is the girl in the photo Serena’s daughter?I stared at the picture, my heart racing. Serena was wearing a black hooded jacket, and in the background, I recognized the familiar sign of Bread Brothers Bakery. My heart skipped a beat as I remembered the conversation we had with Serena earlier, and the surveillance footage we’d seen at the school. Where did you s

Sophia’s POVAdrian snatched the business card out of my hand, his expression skeptical. It was clear he didn't believe a word I said about knowing the owner of Raven Media.“You should think about how to get in touch with your family and friends,” he said, his tone flat. “Our family won't take in a strange woman for too long.”I opened my mouth to protest, to explain again that my connection to Raven Media could help him. But then I realized that this could be my way out of here, to reconnect with the people in my life and tell them what had happened to me. They must be worried sick! And what about Reese? I must find her!Suddenly, the man’s sister burst into the room before I could get a word out. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she rushed over to us. “You know important people from Raven Media?” she said eagerly, practically bouncing on her feet. “Then you have to hear Adrian sing his original song!”“What?” Adrian asked, looking startled. “Come on, let her hear it,” the sis
