After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#111 “This isn’t the Time for Your Games.”

The walls of Sophia’s office seemed to close in as she stood in front of the panoramic window, gazing out over the cityscape below. The familiar skyline, usually a source of inspiration, now felt like a backdrop to the chaos unfolding within her professional world.

Her fingers absentmindedly scrolled through the news on her phone, and the headline that greeted her sent shockwaves through her system. ”

Alexander and Megan Forge Unlikely Alliance – Business and Romance Collide.”

Sophia wondered why she kept watching the news about them as she absorbed the implications of the headline. She grew frustrated with herself for caring. Her phone buzzed with an incoming call. The screen displayed Benjamin’s name.

“Benjamin, can you believe this mess?” Sophia exclaimed once she answered the call.

Benjamin’s deep chuckle came through the phone. “Sophia, my friend, it seems like we’ve got ourselves a wild twist in this plot. Alexander teaming up with Megan? That’s a curveball.”

Sophia sighed, the weight of the situation settling in. “I never saw it coming. We need to reassess our strategy, but we can’t let it derail our plan.”

Benjamin agreed, his tone serious now. “Exactly. We stick to the plan. This is just a bump in the road. We need to keep our eyes on the prize.”

Sophia nodded, even though Benjamin couldn’t see her. “Agreed. We can’t let Alexander’s change of alliances throw us off course. What’s our next move?”
