My Ex-Husband is Out of Control CHAPTER 75
Sophia’s POVI sat at Elijah's desk, the phone pressed against my ear, listening to Reese chatter excitedly about her day at play school. “Yes, Uncle Elijah wants to play with you this weekend,” I said, smiling at her enthusiasm. “He's going to take you to the amusement park. Won't that be fun?”Reese's excitement was palpable even through the phone. “Yay!” she squealed. “Can’t wait!”After saying our goodbyes, I hung up and turned to Elijah, who was leaning against the door frame, watching me with a soft smile. “So is she really looking forward to the weekend?”“Yeah,” I replied, smiling back. “She really enjoys your company, I think. Both of you will surely have a blast.”“Aren’t you coming with us?” he asked softly, his eyes locking with mine. My heart began to thump hard against my chest. “I’m not sure yet. I might be busy.” But I was lying. The truth was, I did want to be with him and Reese. But I wanted to take things slowly, and see how this setup would affect all of us. Lat

Sophia’s POVThat bitch, I thought angrily. She’s gone too far this time. I won’t take this sitting down. I arrived at Serena's house with Elijah, my heart racing. We needed answers about Reese, and I certainly had no plans of leaving until she told me where she'd taken my daughter. As we entered her living room, Serena greeted us with a warm smile. She was still wearing the suit that she probably had on at the office. I quickly scanned the room, but there was no sign of the black hooded jacket we had seen in the security footage. Was it even a woman? I thought with great doubt. Perhaps it had been a man. But then, Elijah was so sure it was Serena’s car. “Hey, come on in. What brings you guys here?” Serena asked cheerfully, gesturing for us to take a seat.“We're looking for Reese,” Elijah said, his voice urgent. “Do you know where she is?”Serena's smile faded, replaced by a look of confusion. "Who's Reese? Am I missing something here?"Elijah and I exchanged meaningful looks. I

Sophia’s POVElijah's voice droned in the background as he continued to speak with the police. I sat there, my heart pounding in my chest, trying to calm the storm inside me. I took several deep breaths, thinking about what to do with this message that I just received. It was a huge, serious threat and I didn’t want to take any risks. Hence, I waited for Elijah to finish talking to the officers before I whispered in his ear. “They’ve found Reese,” I said. Elijah's expression relaxed, relief washing over his features. But before he could speak, I quickly turned to the officers. “Thank you for your help, but I'm really tired. I’d like some privacy now. I’ll let you know if anything comes up.”The police nodded sympathetically and filed out of my apartment. The door clicked shut, leaving an unsettling silence in its wake. Elijah turned to me, his eyes filled with concern and a hint of suspicion.“Where is Reese? I need to see her,” he demanded.My stomach churned as I forced a tense s

Elijah’s POVI left Sophia’s apartment, feeling an emptiness that seemed to grow with each passing second. I thought we were making progress, but clearly, Daniel still held a place in her heart that I couldn’t touch.When I reached my car, I heard a ping from my phone. I quickly grabbed it, hoping it was Sophia. But it was a message from Julia:Is it true Serena has a child?My brows furrowed as I read the message. What was Julia talking about? I quickly typed back:What do you mean?Within seconds, another message came through. It was a photo of Serena on the street, holding hands with a little girl. Julia’s message followed.Is the girl in the photo Serena’s daughter?I stared at the picture, my heart racing. Serena was wearing a black hooded jacket, and in the background, I recognized the familiar sign of Bread Brothers Bakery. My heart skipped a beat as I remembered the conversation we had with Serena earlier, and the surveillance footage we’d seen at the school. Where did you s

Sophia’s POVI woke up to an unfamiliar ceiling, my head throbbing as if someone had taken a hammer to it. Blinking against the morning light filtering through the window, I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness forced me back down.“Easy there,” a deep voice said from across the room. Startled, I turned my head to see a tall, broad-shouldered man standing in the doorway. His concerned eyes met mine as he approached cautiously.“Where am I?” I croaked, my voice hoarse.“You’re in my home,” he replied, pulling a chair next to the bed and sitting down. “I’m Adrian. I found you fainted on the beach a few days ago. Took you to the hospital.”The fog in my mind began to clear, but the pounding in my head made it difficult to focus. “What happened to me?”“The doctors said you were attacked,” Adrian explained gently. “You were hit on the back of the head. Luckily, it wasn’t too severe, but it did put you in a temporary coma.”I reached up to touch the tender spot on my head, wincing as I

Sophia’s POVAdrian snatched the business card out of my hand, his expression skeptical. It was clear he didn't believe a word I said about knowing the owner of Raven Media.“You should think about how to get in touch with your family and friends,” he said, his tone flat. “Our family won't take in a strange woman for too long.”I opened my mouth to protest, to explain again that my connection to Raven Media could help him. But then I realized that this could be my way out of here, to reconnect with the people in my life and tell them what had happened to me. They must be worried sick! And what about Reese? I must find her!Suddenly, the man’s sister burst into the room before I could get a word out. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she rushed over to us. “You know important people from Raven Media?” she said eagerly, practically bouncing on her feet. “Then you have to hear Adrian sing his original song!”“What?” Adrian asked, looking startled. “Come on, let her hear it,” the sis

Sophia’s POV“We were so worried about you, Sophia!” Kayla exclaimed. “How are you feeling now?”“I’m good,” I answered with a little smile, taking my eyes off Elijah. “I was fortunate enough to have been found by good people.” I quickly explained how Adrian brought me to the hospital for a checkup and how he and his sister Amanda had taken care of me while I recuperated. Kayla smiled at them. But then, I moved forward and clutched her hand. “But what happened to Reese? I’ve been desperate to find out, to get out of here and resume my search for her…”The fear for my daughter surged through me like a tidal wave, overpowering the pain.Elijah stepped forward then, his face serious but calm. “Reese is safe. We found that same day when you disappeared. She doesn’t seem to remember much about what happened, which is a good thing. She's not traumatized at all because she isn’t aware that a kidnapping happened.”“She’s been asking about you, though,” Kayla said. Now that I looked at her c

Sophia’s POV“Oh, we’re really sorry, Adrian,” Kayla suddenly said. “But I remember your sister Amanda mentioning your talent!” Adrian’s expression changed. Kayla had hit the mark, and disrupted the growing tension between Adrian and Elijah. Well done! But I can’t believe I’d forgotten about that. “Isn’t that the main reason she asked me to come here?” Kayla continued. “She spoke highly of your talent. So do you still want to audition to become a new talent at our company?”Adrian looked taken aback, his eyes widening in surprise. “Audition? At Raven Media?” he repeated. He suddenly began looking uncertain and nervous.I felt like I needed to jump in at that moment. “Oh, that’s right, Kayla! I’ve already heard him sing and play the guitar, and he’s really good. You should hear him too.”“Well, we’re always on the lookout for fresh talent,” Kayla said with a kind smile. “I can have your audition scheduled immediately.”Elijah, standing nearby, grunted softly, his disapproval palpable
