DEAR EX WIFE, YOU WERE NEVER A CHAPTER のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

Sophia sat alone in her room, staring blankly on the empty glass on the coffee table. She had spent the day pacing between thoughts and emotions that felt too heavy to carry. The weight of her decisions,of everything that had been happening lately, felt suffocating. Jacob's call and constant presence now felt distant, while Ethan's silence echoed in her mind. What did she really want? What was she doing?Her fingers hovered over the phone as she typed out a message to Jacob: “ I'm sorry for acting out earlier, I just couldn't help it.” She paused, staring at the screen, before hitting send . Maybe it would ease tension, or maybe it wouldn't. But for now. She just needed to say it.Sophia stood up, her body moving on autopilot as she grabbed her coat and slipped on her shoes. The thought of staying in, of facing all the turmoil that had been building, felt too much. She needed to get away.A quick glance in the mirror she looked fine, but inside, everything felt out of sync. The drive

The Next Day.Sophia woke up with a lingering headache, the event of the previous night still fresh in her mind. She had barley slept, tossing and turning as her thoughts swirled. The alcohol, her arguments with Ethan, the confrontation with Jacob all of it seemed so distant yet so real, Lia weight pressing down on her chest.As she sat up, trying to shake off the grogginess, she realised that everything felt different. The house was eerily quiet, and for a moment, she wondered if it was all but a bad dream. But the pain in her head told her otherwise.Jacob had been there last night, a steady presence in the choas, and as much as she appreciated his support, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being pulled in two different directions. Ethan's words echoed in her mind— I still love you, Sophia. And yet, with everything that had happened, she wasn't sure what love really meant anymore.She rubbed her temples, trying to focus. The silence in the house was deafening, and the more

As they arrived the ice-cream shop, Raven raced ahead, pressing his face against the glass display to marvel at the array of flavours. His excitement was infectious, and Sophia couldn't help but smile.“ Alright, Raven,” she said, catching up to him. “ What's it going to be?”“Chocolate chip!” Raven exclaimed, practically bouncing on his toes.Sophia chuckled. “ Good choice.” She glanced at Jacob. “ And for you.”“ Vanilla,” he replied with a shrug. “I'm simple like that.”Sophia smirked. “ Boring, you means.”“ Classic,” Jacob corrected with a grin.As they placed their orders, Sophia noticed Jacob glancing at her thoughtfully. She arched a brow. “ What now?”“ Nothing,” he said, holding up his hand in mock surrender. “ Just…you seem lighter today. Happier.”She hesitated, looking down at the counter. “ Maybe I am. Or maybe I'm just trying to enjoy the moment for Raven's sake.”Jacob nodded, his expression softening. “ Whatever it is, it's good to see.”They found a table near the wi

As they finished their meal, Elena leaned back in her seat, a sly smile spreading across her face. Sophia noticed the glint in her eyes, the kind of glimmer that always appear when Elena was up to something.“ So, you've been awfully quiet lately,” Sophia remarked, raising and eyebrow. “ I'm guessing there's something you're not telling me.”Elena let out a soft laugh, swirling the ice on her glass. “ Maybe. You know, I've been seeing someone.”Sophia's eyss widened in surprise. “ Wait, what? You? Seeing someone?”“ Shocking, right?” Elena teased, her lips curling into a smile. “ But yeah, I've spending some time with a guy. His name is Kyle. He's a friend of one of my college classmates.i didn't expect it to turn into anything, but…. I don't know. He's different.”Sophia leaned forward, he curiousity piqued. “ What's so different about him?”Elena shrugged, her cheeks slightly flushed. “ I don't know. It's just….easy with him . We can talk for hours about anything and everything, and

Ethan leaned back in his chair, his sharp gaze fixed on Sarian as she stood with air of feigned confidence. His office, typically a place of order and control, seemed to shrink with her presence.The secretary lingered nervously by the door. “ Sir, I tried to stop her—” “ It's fine,” Ethan said curtly, waving her off. “ Close the door.”The moment the door clicked shut, Sarian crossed her hands and faced him. “ We need to talk.”Ethan's jaw tightened. “ Have you made your decision?”Satin took a step closer, her heels clicking against the floor. “ I need money, Ethan. And if I'm going to leave, o think I should be leaving with something…. substantial.”Ethan didn't finch, his expression cold and calculating. “ Substantial?” he leaned forward, his elbow resting on the desk. “ What exactly do you think you're entitled to, Sarian?”Her lips curled into a sly smile. “ I know what I'm worth, Ethan. You want me gone? Fine. But I'm not leaving empty-handed. After everything I've done for yo
