After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

6 “Unbelievable.”

Sophia couldn’t help but chuckle softly, finding the situation absurd. How could she win a lawsuit against herself and regain shares after finalizing their divorce? It seemed ridiculous. But she had to find a way to use this situation to her advantage.

Putting on a fake smile, Sophia returned the divorce papers to Alexander, “This contract is flawless. I can’t find any loopholes. I won’t be able to assist you in reclaiming your shares.”

Undeterred by Sophia’s response, Alexander retrieved a checkbook from his suit pocket. “If you need money, how much would be an acceptable consultation fee? I’ll write the check for you.”

Glancing at the open checkbook, Sophia replied, her tone firm. “Whether or not I accept your consultation has nothing to do with money.”

The flush on Alexander’s face grew more prominent as anger coursed through him. He attempted to steady his voice as he spoke, “Ms. Johnson, tell me your price. Everyone has a price.”

Taking a step toward Sophia, Alexander cornered her against the hallway wall. His closeness enveloped her in the scent of his cologne, causing her heart to race more than she would have liked. Nevertheless, she stood her ground, not attempting to move away.

Alexander leaned in, his voice a low whisper near her ear. “You’re the first person to refuse my invitation and the first to negotiate with me.” She could almost feel his full lips brushing against her.

Sophia maintained her calm demeanor, concealing her emotions as she spoke. “If it’s about your divorce, that’s not my area of expertise. I can’t provide that service. But if the news is true, even if you give half of your property to your ex-wife, it’s still legal.”
