Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 111

“It has been a week since you ran away from me… are you sure he’s not planning to hide you from the world or something?” Karina asked.

“He’s not…” Sofia said.

“He is not holding you against your will, right?” Karina asked.

“Of course not!” Sofia chuckled at that.

“You sound different…” Karina said. Hearing this, Sofia smiled. She got out of bed and walked towards the window where she could see Alexander chopping up some firewood for the cabin. It had been a week since they stayed in this cabin. A week since that ‘incident‘ happened.

Seeing him chopping wood for the fireplace was no longer new to Sofia. A familiar warmth bloomed in her chest as she watched him work. The crisp air sent tendrils of smoke curling up from the woodpile, momentarily obscuring the play of corded muscles in his back and arms.

She couldn’t deny a thrill that shot through her every time she saw him like this, so domestic yet undeniably primal. He glanced up, catching her eye through the window. A slow, teasing smile spread across his face, a silent promise that sent a shiver down her

spine.

“How are you feeling?” Karina’s question pulled her out of her stupor.

“Well… I feel better now that you told me that man will not be able to walk and will rot in prison,” Sofia said. Alexander already told her this. However, hearing Karina confirm everything made it sound even better. Does that make sense?

“Then when are you coming back?” Karina asked.

“Probably two or three days more…”

“You are not really planning to leave your company behind, right?”

“Of course not,” Sofia chuckled. It’s just that… this place felt so peaceful and different. She wanted to stay here longer but she knew that would be impossible. Both of them have responsibilities. A sigh escaped her lips.

“What’s wrong?” Karina must have sensed her unease.

“Did you once dream about living a life in the mountains? Away from everyone

else?”

There was laughter on the other line. Sofia immediately frowned. “What?” Sofia asked.

“Are you joking?” Karina asked.

“Well…”

“I would love a life like that…” Karina interrupted her before she could say ‘never mind‘. “But I can’t exactly do that… can I?”

“Right…” What was Sofia thinking?

“A week in a cabin and you are already thinking of giving up your mansion and living in a place like that?” Karina chortled. “I mean… I know your husband is hot and you are probably spending a lot of time in bed with him but let’s be honest here… your man had a multimillion–dollar company to run and you you are going to take over LH Group once the dust settles.”

Sofia sighed. “I know…” Sofia said.

“Do you?”

“I really do.”

“Because I’m pretty?”

Sofia laughed.
