After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#115 “Tomorrow We Start.”

When Alexander was finally able to send Megan away, he breathed a sigh of relief. He decided it was high time to do some work and stop playing the role of the concerned husband.

Determined to shift gears, he briskly made his way to his office. Ascending the staircase with purpose, Alexander closed the door behind him, shutting out the outside world. The faint click resonated in the room, signifying a transition from pretense to practicality.

In the seclusion of his office, Alexander allowed himself a moment of respite. The restricting tie was casually loosened and carelessly discarded onto the polished surface of his desk. A tangible exhale escaped him as he liberated his neck from the sartorial constraint.

With a swift motion, he reached for a crystal decanter, the amber liquid within whispering promises of solace. The rich aroma of aged whiskey filled the room as he poured a generous measure into a heavy-bottomed glass.

Seated in a plush leather chair, Alexander cradled the glass in his hand, the amber liquid catching the ambient light. The gentle swirls within mirrored the whirlwind of thoughts that occupied his mind.

He had set everything in motion back in London. Alexander made a promise to Sophia, and he took his promises seriously. He would do anything to provide Sophia with the information she needed to take down Megan.

He knew that gaining Megan’s trust wouldn’t be easy; he had known her for years and understood that she would do anything to stay in a position of power. However, he felt that this was also her biggest weakness.

Alexander was no fool. When Megan offered him a collaboration, he was sure something was amiss with her company, making it the perfect time to take advantage of the situation.
