After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#178 “Benjamin is Sophia’s Half- brother.”

Alexander paced anxiously in front of his mother’s villa, his mind a whirlwind of worry and frustration. His private jet sat waiting nearby, but he couldn’t bring himself to leave without speaking to his mother first. If his father’s threats were true, Sophia could be in grave danger, and he couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her unprotected.

Despite the lingering anger he felt towards Sophia, his love for her burned fiercely in his heart, driving him to ensure her safety at any cost. As he approached the villa, his footsteps echoed loudly against the pavement, his urgency palpable in the air.

“Mom!” Alexander called out as he burst through the door, his voice ringing with urgency. “I need to talk to you, it’s important!”

Caroline appeared at the top of the stairs, her expression full of confusion and concern. “My God, Alexander, what’s going on?” she exclaimed, her voice rising with alarm. “Why are you shouting?”

“My father. He appeared,” Alexander said breathlessly, his voice tinged with urgency.

Caroline’s eyes widened in surprise as she motioned for Alexander to sit down, her concern growing with each passing moment. “Sit down, dear. Take a deep breath. What did he tell you?” she asked, her voice calm and reassuring despite the turmoil brewing within her.

“He’s threatening to expose some secrets about our family,” Alexander replied, his words tumbling out in a rush. “He claims he has evidence that could ruin everything. I need to warn Sophia before it’s too late.”

Caroline’s expression darkened with concern as she listened to her son’s words. “What kind of secrets?” she inquired, her mind racing with the implications of his revelation.
