All Chapters of His Rejected Wife, the Billionaire’s New Desire: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

SOPHIAOllie’s squeal of joy was the last thing I heard before the call went dead. Despite the horrors of today, I found myself smiling. I considered getting him a snack, but I was low on cash and didn’t want to make any unnecessary expenses. So, I walked to the bus stop and caught a bus that would take me to Ollie. My things were still in Floral’s place. I would come for them once I had figured out my housing arrangements.It took only a few minutes to get there. Ollie was at the door, like he had been waiting for me since the call ended. I crouched, waiting for him to notice me, and then I waved. The second he saw me, he rushed into my arms, almost knocking me to the ground with the force of his hug. Until this moment, I hadn’t realized how much I missed

SOPHIA Voices woke me up. Arguing voices. I sat up on the bed, rubbing the back of my hand against my eyes to clear the sleep. Something touched me. I looked down and saw Ollie. When did he sneak in?  A smile tugged on my lips as I leaned down and pressed a kiss on Ollie’s temple. He stirred but didn’t wake, and my heart raced. Victoria’s restraining order came to mind, and I drew back. Marc promised to handle it. I would have to trust his words. Not because I wanted to, but because I had no other option. I also needed to resume my applications.If I wanted joint or sole custody of Ollie, I would have to prove to the court that I was capable of providing for him. For now, I got out of bed and stumbled out of the room. 

SOPHIA After getting all the information I needed from Alison, I hurried out of the restaurant like I had the police on my tail. Floral was innocent. I accused my best friend wrongly. Thankfully, I found a cab quickly and ordered him to head straight to Glamour Galore. My heart beat throughout the ride to the office, and my palms were slick. I called her number, but she didn’t pick up. How could I be so stupid? Why didn’t she tell me about her past with Alison? As soon as the car stopped, I ran into the office. No one tried to stop me, so I headed straight for Floral’s office. I knocked once, then a second time. When no one answered, I pushed the door open. Her office was empty.

SOPHIA As soon as Marc’s voice broke through our conversation, both of us jumped. We glanced at the door, and he walked further inside with a frown. Victoria moved away from me, and I straightened up, keeping my eyes on him like I had done nothing. How much did he overhear? “What are you two talking about?” Marc demanded. His gaze cut to Victoria, and his eyes narrowed. “You connived with someone to hurt Sophia? What’s she saying? Explain.”Victoria’s mouth opened, but she didn’t talk immediately. Marc turned slowly to me, and I shrugged. Victoria gave me a look, which I ignored. I didn’t have to protect her. “That’s it. There’s nothing to explain,&rdqu

SOPHIA I woke up with a big smile. My lips still throbbed from the multiple kisses with Adrian, my nipples ached to be sucked, and my body yearned to be loved kindly. I reached for him on the bed, my fingers caressing his naked torso. Heat flooded my cheeks when I thought of last night. It had been a miracle we didn’t have sex. I wasn’t sure what stopped him, but before the kisses deepened, he withdrew. Why? Sitting up, I stared at him for a few more minutes before climbing out of bed. By noon, I’d either have to be out of here or extend my stay. Right now, I wasn’t sure which option to go with. But my heart longed for his side. Adrian had proved that he was on my side, but what if the board interfered again? Could he stop them? I didn’t w
