After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#110 “Sophia’s Part of the Collateral Damage.”

The morning sun streamed through the office windows. Sophia, usually composed and focused, couldn’t shake the unsettling feeling that gnawed at her. Despite her claims of indifference, the news about Alexander and Megan’s escapades had invaded her thoughts, refusing to let go.

The first blow came as she scrolled through her social media feed, expecting the usual mundane updates. Instead, she was met with a barrage of posts about Alexander and Megan. Candid photos of them together, cozy dinners, and hashtags like # PowerCouple flooded her screen. Sophia’s fingers froze over her phone, her heart rate quickening.

Megan, never one to shy away from publicity, had confirmed the rumors with a post of her own. A carefully crafted caption accompanied a photo of her and Alexander’s smiles plastered on their faces. “Exploring the depths of love and considering a forever,” it read. Sophia’s jaw tightened, and a bitter taste settled in her mouth.

The office break room, usually a haven for coffee breaks and light banter, had transformed into a breeding ground for gossip. Colleagues huddled in small groups, whispered conversations punctuating the air. Sophia couldn’t escape the murmurings about Alexander and Megan. It felt like a relentless buzz, a constant reminder of a reality she tried to dismiss.

As she poured herself a cup of coffee, she overheard snippets of conversations.

“Did you see the post? Megan and Alexander are practically inseparable!”

“They’re talking about marriage already. Can you believe it?”

Sophia decided to leave because she had enough of this marriage thing. As she returned to her desk, the echoes of her own words haunted her.

The unsettled feeling lingered. She replayed the scenes of Alexander and Megan’s newfound public romance in her mind, each image etching itself into her consciousness. The weight of the gossip and the constant scrutiny bore down on her, leaving Sophia questioning the foundations of the relationships she had held dear.

In Alexander’s office, the atmosphere buzzed with a peculiar tension that mirrored the chaos now unfolding in his personal life. Laura, his secretary, known for her efficiency and discretion, entered the room carrying a stack of papers. The air seemed to thicken as she closed the door behind her.
