The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

#65 “It’s You, Sophia.”

Alexander looked into Sophia’s eyes, his gaze filled with sincerity and vulnerability. He knew that what he was confessing was unconventional and unexpected, but he couldn’t keep his feelings hidden any longer. With a deep breath, he reached out and gently took her hand, hoping to convey the depth of his emotions.

“That’s right, I have feelings for you, Sophia,” Alexander began, his voice steady but filled with emotion. “And I’ve been struggling for a long time to show you that I’m not who you think I am. I care about you, and it’s often hard for me to convey my thoughts exactly, and I think we often fight because we don’t understand each other.”

Sophia’s eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively pulled her hand away from Alexander’s, shaking her head in disbelief.

“This is crazy, Alexander,” she said. ” We’re divorced. Do you realize how crazy this is?”

Alexander leaned in closer, his voice soft but resolute. “Sophia, our marriage was a joke. We haven’t even met each other for 3 years, and I know I apologized to you for that, but I’ll apologize as many times as I need to. Now, you say we’re divorced, but were we ever really married?”

Sophia sighed and took another sip of her beer, trying to process the whirlwind of emotions and thoughts racing through her mind.

“Come on, Alexander,” she said, her tone a mix of exasperation and confusion. “Don’t make it more complicated than it already is.”

But Alexander was undeterred, his eyes locked onto hers as he continued to lay his heart bare.

“Sophia, I was captivated by you from the moment I saw you,” he confessed.” Back then, I didn’t care if you were the daughter of the president or the daughter of a humble farmer from the countryside. The way you walked and carried yourself was magnetic. You are magnetic, Sophia. And I think that if it weren’t for our supposedly marriage, if we had met as normal people, things would have been different.”

Sophia was torn between the shock of Alexander’s confession and her own inner turmoil. She had never expected to hear these words from him, and it left her reeling with emotions she couldn’t quite put into words.

“Sophia,” Alexander implored, his eyes searching hers for a sign of understanding. “I know our history is messy, but I truly believe we can make things right. We have a chance to start anew.”

Sophia shook her head gently. ” Alexander, I appreciate your honesty, and I don’t doubt your sincerity. But the past is the past, and we can’t change it. Our relationship has always been complicated, and I think it’s best if we leave it behind us.”

Alexander felt a pang of disappointment, but he respected her decision. He had taken a risk in sharing his feelings, and he couldn’t fault Sophia for wanting a fresh start, free from the weight of their shared history.

Reluctantly, he nodded. “I understand, Sophia. I just hope that someday, you can find it in your heart to forgive me for everything that’s happened.”
