After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife #158 "Who Sent You?"
Evelyn surveyed the desolate surroundings cautiously; it was nothing like a welcoming home, more akin to an abandoned warehouse. Dane took the lead, a silent sentinel ready to react at the first sign of trouble."I got the chills," Evelyn whispered her senses on high alert."And there's a reason," a voice responded, sending shivers down their spines.They turned sharply to find a man covered in tattoos, his shaved head giving him an intimidating presence."What were you doing here?" he demanded, his eyes appraising them.Evelyn, standing behind Dane for support, didn't falter. "I was looking for information on Kyle Vitali."The tattooed man narrowed his eyes, suspicion evident. "And what exactly were you interested in?""Everything," she replied with determination.The man took a step closer, a subtle threat in his demeanor. "Look, if I were you, I wouldn't ask questions that could get me into trouble."Dane, protective and assertive, growled, "Was that a threat?""Take it as you will

Evelyn's eyes darted between the two men, desperation and fear mingling in her gaze. Her mind raced, urgently seeking an escape route from the perilous situation that had befallen her. "No one sent me," she responded, her voice a delicate mix of nervousness and defiance. The men exchanged a knowing glance, suspicion lingering in the air. One of them, his tone accusatory, retorted, "Then why was there a cop with you? I assume you're also from the police." Evelyn, though fear gnawed at her, let out a strained grunt of frustration. "Please. Do I look like a cop to you? I can't even do a sit-up." The attempt at levity, however feeble, served as her defense in the face of their intense scrutiny. The room seemed to hold its breath as the men considered her response. Evelyn's heart pounded in her chest, the seconds ticking away like an ominous countdown. Finally, one of them spoke, his voice cold and demanding. "For the last time, why were you looking into Kyle Vitali's life?" Evelyn t

Sophia's heart raced as she entered Evelyn's apartment, her instincts screaming that something was terribly wrong. The silence was unsettling, and as she moved further in, her eyes widened in shock. There were signs of a break-in - the door slightly ajar, belongings scattered. She stopped dead in her tracks when her gaze fell upon the chair. The ropes, remnants of a forced restraint, sent shivers down her spine. Panic threatened to take hold, but Sophia fought to keep her composure. She needed to think clearly and act fast. "Sophia, you gotta keep it together," she whispered to herself, taking a deep breath. She glanced around, assessing the situation. Her mind raced, and a decision formed. She needed information, and Kyle, with his mysterious connections, might hold the key. Swiftly, Sophia pulled out her phone and dialed Kyle's number. To her surprise, a robotic voice replied, "The number you've dialed is not in service. Please check the number and try again." Dread crept in, b

Sophia's evening was filled with nervous anticipation as Sandro hadn't returned her call. Pacing around the dining room, she considered her options to help Evelyn, her mind racing with worry. As the night progressed, Sophia found it increasingly difficult to relax. Nervously checking her phone every few minutes, she fervently hoped for a resolution. By two in the morning, Sophia conceded that sleep wasn't coming easily. Resigned, she decided that being well-rested and focused for the next day would be more beneficial in helping her friend. Just as Sophia was settling into bed, strange noises disrupted the silence. Her heart raced as she cautiously peered through the gap in her bedroom door, only to witness a group of men entering her apartment. Suppressing panic, Sophia forced herself to breathe. A surge of fear compelled her to hide and call the police. Silently retrieving her phone from the nightstand, she stealthily moved towards the closet, hoping to remain undiscovered long e

Alexander had been seated at the airport, eagerly anticipating Sophia's arrival. The prospect of a vacation away from the city had fueled his excitement, and he couldn't wait to spend quality time with her. They had agreed to meet at 10:00, but by 10:15, Sophia was nowhere in sight. Knowing Sophia's preference to go through her office in the morning before heading out, Alexander patiently waited for her. He even took the initiative to grab coffee for both of them, hoping she'd arrive soon. As minutes ticked away, Alexander found himself growing more anxious. The plane was theirs, and it wouldn't take off until they boarded, but the absence of Sophia was starting to gnaw at him. He glanced at the gate, scanning for any sign of her. Twenty more minutes passed, and the coffee intended for Sophia had long gone cold. Concerned, Alexander decided to give her a call. To his dismay, the phone rang only to be met with the disheartening message that Sophia's phone was switched off. Frowning

Kyle's blood boiled, his jaw clenching with a lethal intensity. "Some woman, huh?" Kyle growled through gritted teeth, his voice carrying the dangerous edge of a predator. "This is my woman," he roared, a declaration laced with possessiveness that echoed through the air. "Yours?" "Yes, mine. If I find out that a hair has fallen from her head..." Kyle's threat hung in the air, a warning to anyone who dared harm what belonged to him. "Relax, she is fine. However, she will be interrogated soon, and as far as you know, they don't carry phones. I will call to get her released, but I make no promises. Аnd for Sophia, you have to deal with Alberto alone. I'll call his people to let them know you're coming." "I'll go to Evelyn first, and you contact Alberto. Tell him that if anything happens to Sophia by the time I get to him, we'll have a problem." "I was texting him as we speak," he replies. "He says he will refrain from violence but will not let Sophia go until you go in person." "T

Kyle pulled out his phone and swiftly dialed his relative's number. "Tell me you arranged the meeting with Alberto?" he demanded, his voice edged with urgency. "Everything is ready, I'll send you the address. Shall I call for backup?" came the prompt response from his relative. "No, I'll take care of him myself," Kyle replied firmly, a steely determination evident in his tone as he ended the call. With a sense of resolve, Kyle pocketed his phone and refocused on the task at hand. He knew that confronting Alberto would require all of his cunning and strength, but he was prepared to face the challenge head-on to ensure the safety of those he cared about. Kyle's grip tightened on the steering wheel as he navigated through the city streets towards the meeting point with Alberto. Every turn brought him closer to the confrontation he had been anticipating, the tension in the air palpable. Beside him, Evelyn sat in silence, her eyes darting between Kyle and the passing scenery.

As Kyle's unwavering gaze bore into Alberto, the room fell into a tense silence, broken only by the faint sounds of heavy. Alberto's confidence crumbled under the weight of Kyle's resolve. "Enough," Alberto spat, his voice strained with frustration as he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. "Fine, you win." Kyle's expression remained stoic as he lowered his weapon, a silent acknowledgment of his victory as he stepped forward to confront Alberto. "Bring me Sophia," Kyle ordered, his voice carrying the weight of authority. Alberto nodded curtly, motioning for one of his men to carry out the order. With a sense of urgency, the man disappeared into the shadows, leaving Kyle and Alberto alone in the dimly lit warehouse, their silent standoff a testament to the power dynamics at play. As they waited in the tense silence, the distant echoes of their earlier confrontation still hung in the air, a reminder of the volatile nature of their underworld dealings. Kyle's gaze remained fi
