After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife #231 "If You don't Interrupt Me."
Sophia stood proudly in front of the crowd of reporters. She took a deep breath and began to speak. "The first piece of evidence I want to provide is in relation to the documents that claim Stone Enterprise was built around illegal transactions and actions. In fact, this is not true. The documents have been taken out of context.""And how do you intend to prove that?" a skeptical reporter retorted. "If you don't interrupt me, everything will become clear to you," replied Sophia, her irritation masked by a calm demeanor. Silence reigned in the hall as she continued, now with a reassuring smile."Every single transaction was made through a bank named BILOBY BANK. This bank no longer exists, but I was able to unearth documents showing the true ownership. The bank was controlled by mobsters; they used it to manage their money and conduct their illegal transactions without alerting the police. Although it appeared to be a legitimate, state-owned bank, it was actually operated by America
After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife #232 "You Saved Our Company."
As soon as Sophia finished answering the reporters' questions, a strong hand pulled her away. Before Sophia could react, Alexander kissed her passionately."I missed you so much, love," Alexander whispered against her lips."Alexander!" Sophia gently scolded, though a smile tugged at her lips. "In front of everyone?""Let the world know how totally, madly in love with you I am," Alexander declared. "You were amazing, love. You did it. After all your crazy stunts, you saved our company.""Our company?" Sophia laughed."During the divorce, you practically swiped half of the company from me," replied Alexander with a playful grin."Oh, right," Sophie chuckled. "I was a little upset, but I'll gladly give it back to you now.""Don't you dare! I like saying 'our company.' 'Mine' sounds so lonely.""Are you serious?""Absolutely," Alexander affirmed. "Ah, now let's go home because I intend to rip your dress off with my teeth." He smirked. "I would do it here too, but...""No, no. We are goin

In the soft morning light filtering through the curtains, Alexander and Sophia lay intertwined on the bed, basking in the afterglow of their passionate night together. Their bodies molded perfectly against each other, limbs tangled in a loving embrace. Soft murmurs of affection and sweet nothings filled the air as they exchanged tender words, their hearts overflowing with love."I could stay like this forever," Alexander whispered, his voice barely more than a breath against her skin.Sophia smiled, her fingers tracing lazy circles on his chest. "Me too," she murmured, her voice a soft melody that blended with the gentle rhythm of their breathing. "I never want this moment to end.""I don't even feel like going to work today," Alexander admitted.Sophia laughed. ''We didn't save the company so you could lie down. Although I understand you. I can't even look at a document anymore.''A sudden knock on the door disrupted their intimate moment, but Alexander, not wanting to let go of Soph

Alexander had dropped Sophia off at work and had just arrived at his office. Things were much calmer now. Alexander hoped that after a few more interviews with reporters, everything could soon return to its usual rhythm of work.It was more fun for him to watch the reporters tear his father apart now that they had aired a clip of his dinner with Caroline.Alexander sat down at his desk, but before diving into his work, he wanted to make an important call. He picked up his phone and dialed Kyle."Hello, Alexander. Great performance, my friend. Last night’s press conference was wonderful," Kyle greeted him with evident enthusiasm.Alexander chuckled at his friend's spirited reaction. "I'm glad it's over. You’re back from your honeymoon already, aren’t you?""Two days ago. I still can't bring myself to work, only romantic moments are in my head," Kyle replied, his voice filled with a hint of whimsy."I can imagine," Alexander laughed, finding joy in his friend's happiness."But congratul
After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife #235 "You Know I Could Live Like This For the Rest of My Life."
In the evening, Alexander returned to their apartment with Sophia. As he opened the door, the enticing aroma of a freshly cooked dinner filled the air, drawing him toward the kitchen. There, he found Sophia singing along to a song and swaying rhythmically as she cooked.Sophia was clad only in one of his shirts, the hem barely reaching her thighs. Around the dining area, candles flickered softly and a bottle of wine was set neatly beside two glasses on the table. Alexander paused in the doorway, struck by the intimate scene and the undeniable beauty of the woman before him."You know I could live like this for the rest of my life," he said, his voice filled with affection and admiration.Startled by his sudden presence, Sophia spun around, causing a plate she had been drying to slip from her fingers and crash to the floor, shattering into numerous pieces."God, don't sneak up on me like that!" she exclaimed, a mix of surprise and laughter coloring her voice."I'll clean up," Alexander

The next morning, Alexander woke up to the aroma of coffee wafting through the apartment. As he opened his eyes, he found Sophia already up, preparing breakfast in the kitchen. "Good morning, love," Alexander greeted her, his voice still heavy with sleep. "Good morning, sleepyhead," Sophia replied, flashing him a warm smile. "Breakfast is almost ready. I made your favorite." Alexander stretched and made his way to the kitchen, wrapping his arms around Sophia from behind. He pressed a soft kiss to her cheek, feeling a sense of comfort in her presence. "Thank you, sweetheart," he said, his voice filled with gratitude. They enjoyed breakfast together, laughing and chatting about trivial things. However, as Alexander's phone rang again, Sophia couldn't help but feel a pang of annoyance. "Sorry, I have to take this," Alexander said, giving her a quick apologetic smile before stepping out of the kitchen to answer the call. Sophia sighed softly, feeling a mix of frustration and curios

Alexander and Evelyn were deep in discussion, poring over lush catalogs of floral arrangements and elegant fabric swatches. They were sitting in a small, eclectic café, their table cluttered with color samples and notepads filled with sketches and notes. The café buzzed softly around them, a background hum to their intense focus on creating a stunning setting for what Alexander envisioned as the perfect engagement proposal.His phone buzzed. Glancing at the screen, he saw Kyle's name and excused himself from the table to take the call."Hey, what's up?" Alexander answered, stepping into the quieter space near the back of the café."Dude, you might want to brace yourself. Sophia called me, totally spinning out about you and Evelyn. She thinks there’s something going on between you two," Kyle's voice was tinged with amusement but underscored by concern.Alexander pinched the bridge of his nose, a sigh escaping him.
