After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#162 “God, No…”

Alexander had been seated at the airport, eagerly anticipating Sophia’s arrival. The prospect of a vacation away from the city had fueled his excitement, and he couldn’t wait to spend quality time with her.

They had agreed to meet at 10:00, but by 10:15, Sophia was nowhere in sight. Knowing Sophia’s preference to go through her office in the morning before heading out, Alexander patiently waited for her. He even took the initiative to grab coffee for both of them, hoping she’d arrive soon.

As minutes ticked away, Alexander found himself growing more anxious. The plane was theirs, and it wouldn’t take off until they boarded, but the absence of Sophia was starting to gnaw at him. He glanced at the gate, scanning for any sign of her.

Twenty more minutes passed, and the coffee intended for Sophia had long gone cold. Concerned, Alexander decided to give her a call. To his dismay, the phone rang only to be met with the disheartening message that Sophia’s phone was switched off.

Frowning, Alexander found it odd for Sophia to have a dead battery, especially when they had plans to meet. Another ten minutes passed without her appearance, intensifying his worry.

The fact that she hadn’t called him the night before, breaking their routine of exchanging good night wishes, added an extra layer of concern. Something didn’t feel right, and Alexander’s imagination started to run wild with possibilities.

With a knot in his stomach, Alexander considered the various scenarios that could explain Sophia’s absence-was she caught up in a work emergency, facing some personal issue, or worse?

His attempts to reach her continued to be met with the frustrating message that her phone was off.

Concerned, Alexander decided to call Evelyn, but her phone yielded the same result as Sophia’s – switched off. He decides not to waste any more time and calls Kyle. He had left him an emergency number and Alexander took advantage.
