After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#134 “Please, don’t leave me.”

Amid the chaos, Alexander was determined to anchor Sophia in the present. He held her trembling hands firmly, the intensity of his gaze cutting through the terror that gripped her.

“I want you to take a deep breath,” Alexander commanded once more.

Sophia, her nails inadvertently digging into his hand in terror, felt the urgency in Alexander’s voice. She nodded, her breath shaky, and followed his command. As she exhaled, the blinding headlights of approaching vehicles illuminated the rain-soaked wreckage around them.

The screech of tires echoed, and the driver skillfully maneuvered to avoid colliding with another car. It was a desperate attempt to elude the relentless pursuit of the police.

Sophia’s gasp was drowned by the chaotic symphony of rain and sirens.

“Sophie, I promise as soon as we’re out of here, I’ll make you my life-saving sandwiches every day.”

Alexander’s words cut through the tension, offering a glimpse of a reality beyond the immediate crisis. Sophia pressed into him for comfort and felt a small smile tug at the corners of her lips despite the chaos around them.
