When His Eyes Opened
Chapter 2
Alexander was silent, and the tension in the room was palpable.
After a momentary standoff, Sophia shrugged. “Okay, I won't disturb you anymore, Mr. Xenos. See you nine in the morning at City Hall on Monday.”
With that said, she lifted her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Nevertheless, feeling upset about her defeat, she said, “Congratulations, Alexander Xenos. You're free. You've finally escaped from the shameless woman that is me.”
Sophia then let out a self-deprecating chuckle as she stared at him.
“What games are you playing again?”
Alexander finally asked, his words as harsh as always.
Sophia glanced at him. “Don't worry, this is serious. Though I have to tell you this as well. This is your one and only chance to escape from me. Cherish it.”
Sophia's eyes felt hot. Not wanting to lose her dignity by shedding tears in front of him and letting him have the opportunity to laugh at her, she turned and left.
Alexander watched her leave until she disappeared around the corner before he flipped the pages of the divorce agreement.
Sophia was the one who hired a lawyer to draft the divorce agreement. She would take nothing from him. In fact, she would be leaving the marriage empty-handed.
Alexander was not surprised by Sophia's request for a divorce. After all, he had never once treated her as his wife throughout all three years.
However, he refused to believe that she would not want anything from the divorce.
Sophia was a greedy woman. After saving Kristen back then, she had asked to marry him when the Xenos family asked her what she wanted in return for the favor.
Unfortunately, she made the wrong plans. Before marriage, Alexander had done the notarization of personal assets so that he would be able to dismiss her anytime he could not stand her anymore.
It seems like she's trying to pull another trick again.
Alexander curled his lips into a mocking smile before throwing the divorce agreement aside and dismissing the event.
When Sophia exited the building, she immediately spotted Katherine's flashy sports car.
Just as Sophia walked over, Katherine opened the door to the front passenger seat and asked, “How was it? Did he sign it?”
Sophia leaned over and got into the car. “He didn't.”
“That shouldn't be. Bethany's back. Shouldn't he be in a hurry?”
Buckling her seatbelt, Sophia glanced at Katherine. “Kathy, are you doing this on purpose?”
She's so mean with her words. If not for our years of friendship, I'd definitely kick up a fuss!
With her mind read, Katherine guiltily rubbed her nose. “It's my first time seeing someone so excited about a divorce, so I wanted to find out if you've really given up on him or if you're just angry with him.”
“Be nicer, Katherine.”
Not wanting to waste more of her breath on her heartless friend, Sophia closed her eyes and shied away from the world.
Half an hour later, the sports car stopped. Sophia opened her eyes and unbuckled her seatbelt. “Thanks.”
With that, she got down from the car and walked to the back to get her suitcase.
Katherine remained in the car and gave her two flying kisses. “Don't cry on your own, Soph. Love you!”
Right as those words were out of her mouth, the red sports car sped off.
Sophia snorted, only half-angry. What kind of friends am I making?
Before returning, she had asked the housekeeper to clean up the house. Moreover, her door was connected to a smart home system, so all she needed to do was to say, “Open the door, Genie.” Immediately, the wooden door opened inward. “Welcome home, Ms. Yarrow.”
“Genie, heat up the water.”
Sophia then brought her suitcase to the master bedroom on the second floor. In her suitcase were the things she had in the Xenos residence for the past three years, and they were the things she had brought over in the beginning.
After she put her suitcase aside, the water was done boiling. Sophia mixed it with some cold water before downing half a cup.
When her tears fell, Sophia was surprised.
Thinking back to what Katherine said before she left, Sophia began scoffing at herself.
I really can't stay cool, huh? It's fine. I'm only losing it when I'm alone.
After holding herself back for the entire morning, Sophia finally could not bear it any longer. Upon putting her cup down, she sprawled at the bar and began sobbing.
She loved Alexander for ten years, but at the end of the day, she received nothing but a humiliating marriage that lasted three years.
Of course, she was upset about the matter. However, her misery was useless. Alexander never loved her, anyway.
After leaving the Xenos residence, Sophia spent her next two days in a daze.
She kept sleeping and sleeping, but she never even got to have a good sleep.
In the dark, her dreams were odd.
