After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#180 “Liar.”

Sophia’s mind raced with a whirlwind of emotions after Benjamin’s shocking confession. She needed to clear her head, so she decided to take a solitary walk through the familiar streets of her neighborhood. The cool evening air brushed against her skin, offering a slight comfort amidst the turmoil within.

She had never expected Benjamin to have feelings for her. Sophia walked aimlessly but made sure not to stray too far from the house. She had left Benjamin alone because their conversation wasn’t going in the direction she wanted it to go. He hated Alexander, and Sophia could not accept his attitude.

As she strolled along, lost in her thoughts, she couldn’t shake the feeling of unease creeping up her spine.

Glancing over her shoulder, she caught sight of a figure lurking in the shadows, their presence sending a shiver down her spine. Heart pounding, Sophia quickened her pace, her footsteps echoing against the pavement as she hurried back towards the safety of her home.

Arriving at her doorstep, she fumbled for her keys, her hands trembling with nervous energy. Just as she managed to unlock the door, she realized with a sinking feeling that Benjamin wasn’t home either. Panic began to rise within her chest as she contemplated the possibility of facing whatever danger lurked outside alone.

Sophia turned on all the lights in the house and headed for the kitchen. She made herself a hot chocolate, which always calmed her down. She was just starting to relax when a sudden knock on the door shattered the silence, causing Sophia to jump in surprise. She heard a distant voice announce ” Delivery.” Her pulse quickened as she cautiously approached the door, her senses on high alert.
