After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#117 “Megan, You’re Hanging by A Thread.”

In Sophia’s office, the air hung heavy with tension as Megan entered, the usual veneer of friendliness vanishing in the absence of Alexander. The room, adorned with sleek furniture and bathed in the soft glow of ambient light, became the battleground for a clash of wills.

Sophia, sitting behind her desk, glanced up from her work with an unflinching expression. Her calm demeanor, a façade concealing the storm of emotions beneath, contrasted sharply with the subtle hum of the city filtering through the partially opened window.

Megan, with a sly smile, wasted no time dropping her pretense of friendliness. “Sophia, let’s cut the act, shall we? You and I both know you’re just a pawn in Alexander’s game. Don’t think for a second you can interfere in our relationship.”

Sophia leaned back in her chair, unfazed. “Megan, I’m not interested in your relationship with Alexander. If you’re here to warn me, save your breath. I won’t be manipulated.”

Megan, growing impatient, decided to play her cards more aggressively. “You might want to reconsider, Sophia. Alexander and I are getting married, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Sophia raised an eyebrow, her eyes piercing through Megan’s facade. The distant sounds of city traffic merged with the tense silence in the room. ” Marriage, Megan, is not a shield for deceit. I know what you did in London. Setting me up with your schemes won’t go unnoticed.”

Megan scoffed, trying to regain control of the conversation. “You think you’re so clever, don’t you? But Alexander is mine, and there’s nothing you can do to change that.”
