After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#136 “Total Chaos.”

Ever since Sophia received the heart- wrenching news of Alexander being in a coma, she had become a constant presence in his hospital room. In the initial days, she bounced between moments of despair and persistent demands to the nurses and doctors, urging them to provide the best possible care.

Eventually, Sophia stopped giving orders and settled into a quiet routine of staying by Alexander’s bedside. Attempts by Evelyn or Sandro to persuade her away were met with temporary compliance, only for her to return after brief respites for showering or eating.

Days melted away as Sophia sat next to his bed, engaged in a one-sided conversation. Whether he could hear her or not was uncertain, but she couldn’t reconcile with the idea that all of this had unfolded because of her.

She shared stories from her childhood and recounted lessons with Maestro Paus. Sophia remembered the promise she made to tell him about her music career the last time they were on his private jet.

Now she was holding his hand and studying his face. Aside from the bruises from the blow, which were already starting to heal, she couldn’t help but admire how handsome he actually was.

He had razor-sharp cheekbones and eyelashes a woman would kill for, and his lips were the definition of perfection. Sophia had never before allowed herself to think about his appearance, but she could not deny that he was the most handsome man she had ever seen.

“You know, I was so angry with you for not coming to me even once when we were married,” Sophia confessed. The words seemed to spill out against her will.

“I was furious, Alexander, and failed to see you for the man you are. Then, in that apartment in London, you showed up, saw me with a gun in my hand, and didn’t doubt for a moment that I was innocent. I figured maybe I could trust you. And when I started to forgive you, you got engaged to Megan, and then I…

Sophia shook her head, attempting to gather her thoughts. A sigh escaped her, and she realized that if she didn’t express herself now, she might never.

“I didn’t even give you a chance to explain. I treated you terribly in my apartment, and then you left and announced your engagement. Now, more than anything, I want you to wake up and tell me your side of the story. And if you still want to, and you haven’t given up on me, I want us to give each other a chance.”

A tear traced its path down her cheek just as the door creaked open. Sophia swiftly wiped her face as a nurse entered.

“Oh, Mrs. Stone, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to interrupt you. I’m just coming to check on his condition,” the nurse announced.
