After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#101 “It was A Setup, All of It.”

Sophia couldn’t shake off the unexpected twist in the investigation. The phone call from the police station had summoned her to a place laden with tension and uncertainty. She made her way to the station, she looked calm on the outside, but her heart was pounding hard.

As she entered the bustling police precinct, the atmosphere was charged with an air of urgency. Detectives moved purposefully between desks, and the low hum of conversations created a backdrop to the unfolding drama.

In a small interrogation room, Cassie sat, her eyes red and swollen from tears. Sophia’s gaze met hers as she entered, a silent exchange fraught with unspoken questions, Alexander, standing nearby, wore a mask of concern, his eyes scanning the room for any signs of resolution.

Detectives greeted Sophia as she stepped in. The room seemed to shrink as they all settled into their respective roles.

“Do you want to tell Sophia what you told us?” Detective Turner asks her and Cassie nods. Sophia took a seat, facing Cassie. ” What happened, Cassie?” she asked. Cassie, her voice shaky, began recounting the events. “I didn’t kill him. It was a setup, all of it.”

The detectives exchanged glances, probing for inconsistencies in Cassie’s narrative. “Take us through it, Cassie,” Detective Turner urged, his tone measured.

Cassie took a deep breath. “I was approached by a stranger. He offered me a large sum of money to help him with something, something that would be easy, he said. All I had to do was incapacitate my boyfriend, and then go to the police.”

The room buzzed with murmurs as everyone tried to comprehend the unfolding plot. Sophia’s eyes narrowed.
