After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#114 “Falling for His Games, Again?”

In the moonlit garden, Sophia leaned against the cool marble railing, a sigh escaping her lips. The night was serene, but the turmoil within her refused to mirror the tranquility of the surroundings.

“Sophia, what are you doing? Falling for his games, again?” she muttered to herself, frustration lacing her voice. ” He’s playing the part, acting like he doesn’t care, and I’m letting it get under my skin. It’s infuriating!”

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves as if nature itself was whispering words of solace. Sophia took a deep breath, trying to steady the storm of emotions raging within.

“Why do I let him affect me like this?” she continued a hint of self-reproach in her tone. “He flirts with Megan, and I should just roll my eyes and move on. But no, here I am, tangled up in this emotional mess.”

Sophia’s gaze drifted toward the distant glow of the villa. Laughter echoed faintly, a stark contrast to the internal conflict that threatened to consume her.

“He’s stubborn, deliberately testing my patience,” she reflected, a wry smile tugging at the corners of her lips. “But what’s his game? Why act like he doesn’t care and then subtly change his tune?”

Sophia snarled in her anger and punches the metal fence. She is always in control of her emotions, but when she gets close to Alexander, she simply cannot recognize herself.

“Whatever his game is, I can’t let it cloud my judgment,” she affirmed, a newfound determination in her voice. ” I won’t be a pawn in his emotional chessboard. If he thinks he can toy with my feelings, he’s got another thing coming.”
