Evelyn chirped, her voice filled with excitement.Sophia groaned and buried her face in her pillow, momentarily forgetting the significance of the day ahead. "Can't I sleep for just five more minutes?"Evelyn chuckled and shook her head, tugging at the covers until Sophia finally relented and sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes."Come on, Sophia, today is the day you become Mrs. Stone!"

As the sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow over the reception venue, Sophia and Alexander found themselves enveloped in a whirlwind of joy and celebration. The air was alive with the melodious laughter of friends and family, their voices weaving together in a harmonious chorus of love and support. Sophia's heart swelled with gratitude as she looked around the beautifully adorned reception hall. Delicate fairy lights danced among lush floral arrangements, casting an ethereal glow over the festivities. Soft music filled the air, its gentle melodies serving as the perfect backdrop for the evening's enchantment. "Can you believe this, Alexander?" Sophia whispered, her eyes sparkling with wonder.

"This is Mr. Stone’s divorce agreement, Mrs. Stone," Alexander Stone’s butler, Charles said as he handed a large manila envelope to Sophia. "Mrs. Stone, you have a three-day window to sign the agreement and vacate the premises." Charles watched Sophia with indifference, his demeanor calm as he spoke. Although Sophia had been anticipating this moment, her heart sank upon the mention of the divorce agreement. She glanced at Charles, accepted the envelope, and extracted the divorce agreement from within. "Ten million dollars of alimony as long as he never lays eyes on me again?" she scoffed, looking straight at Charles, whose expression remained inscrutable. "How can he possibly believe he can get away with such an absurd demand?" She continued reading, "In accordance with the terms of the divorce agreement, it is acknowledged that Sophia Stone has failed to fulfill her marital obligations for a period of three years. As a result, Alexander Stone reserves the right to initiate divo

Three days had elapsed since Alexander Stone had dispatched Charles to deliver the divorce papers. He paced back and forth within the confines of his opulent corner office, boasting a panoramic view of the city skyline. He was waiting for a consequence. And he was not surprised to get the result he expected. He knew that his soon-to-be ex-wife would sign the papers. He offered a very generous price for this transaction, far higher than what she has paid in this marriage, but of course, she is taking the full three days to finish this sham of a marriage. A soft knock at the door preceded Laura's entrance. Laura, a trusted employee who had taken on the role of Alexander's secretary, held an envelope containing the divorce decree, laying it delicately on the polished surface of his desk. "She signed and has moved out," Laura announced simply, her tone carrying an air of finality. “Of course. She should be.” Alexander replied. "It's about damn time," Emily Williams, a Branch Manager

"Mr. Stone, what can you tell us about your current situation with the Senator's daughter?" A reporter yelled at Alex the moment he stepped out of the courthouse; the blinding sunlight assaulted his dark green eyes. The scene before him was chaotic, with reporters swarming like a hive of bees. Flashing cameras momentarily blinded him, and microphones were thrust into his face, each reporter vying for his attention. Amidst the frenzy, their questions bombarded him like a relentless onslaught. "Is there any truth to you marrying the daughter of a Senator?" one reporter demanded. Another chimed in, "Can you finally reveal the name of your ex-wife?" The questions grew more personal and invasive. "How long have you been having an affair?" and "What can you tell us about the divorce agreement?" echoed through the air. Alexander's patience began to wear thin as he pushed his way through the crowd. He remained silent as he was in no mood to answer any reporter's questions, especially ones

"I am telling you she is coming in today," a man in a black striped suit whispers urgently as he briskly passes the reception desk at Johnson and Associates Law Firm."There is no way. She hasn't been in for over three years. Why today?" the woman seated at the reception desk whispers.Another woman, with an air of curiosity, approaches the desk and leans in, her voice hushed. "I heard she had a major something happen, which is why she is returning.""Well, I heard that major something is that she lost a lot of money in some sort of deal," the man murmurs back, sharing the gossip.At that precise moment, the sleek chrome doors of the elevator swish open, revealing Sophia Johnson stepping out with an air of confidence. Her face remains impassive and composed as she looks discerning at the employees gathered around the reception desk."Yes, I'm back," she remarks, her words seeping with authority. The employees quickly disperse, sensing the power that emanates from her presence. Sophia

Despite Sophia's initial rejection of Alexander's invitation in her office, she acknowledges the significance of his company for her future endeavors and decides to attend.Even though three years have passed since Sophia last donned formal attire, she remains well-versed in the art of making a grand entrance.

Sophia couldn't help but chuckle softly, finding the situation absurd. How could she win a lawsuit against herself and regain shares after finalizing their divorce? It seemed ridiculous. But she had to find a way to use this situation to her advantage. Putting on a fake smile, Sophia returned the divorce papers to Alexander, "This contract is flawless. I can't find any loopholes. I won't be able to assist you in reclaiming your shares." Undeterred by Sophia's response, Alexander retrieved a checkbook from his suit pocket. "If you need money, how much would be an acceptable consultation fee? I'll write the check for you." Glancing at the open checkbook, Sophia replied, her tone firm. "Whether or not I accept your consultation has nothing to do with money." The flush on Alexander's face grew more prominent as anger coursed through him. He attempted to steady his voice as he spoke, "Ms. Johnson, tell me your price. Everyone has a price." Taking a step toward Sophia, Alexander corner

Sophia and Alexander bustled around the spacious living room of their cozy home, the air thick with a mix of excitement and nervous energy. Wedding magazines lay scattered across the coffee table, adorned with sticky notes and hastily scrawled reminders."Did you call the florist to confirm the bouquet?" Sophia asked, her voice tinged with a hint of urgency as she glanced at Alexander, who was hunched over his laptop, furiously typing away."Yeah, they said everything's set," Alexander replied, his brow furrowed in concentration as he clicked through various tabs on the screen. "But I still need to finalize the playlist for the reception."Sophia nodded, her mind already racing ahead to the next item on their seemingly endless to-do list. "And what about the seating chart? Did you hear back from Aunt Martha about her dietary restrictions?"Alexander shook his head, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he typed out an email to their caterer. "Not yet, but I'll follow up with her a

The courtroom was dense with anticipation as the trial drew to its conclusion. After days of testimonies, cross-examinations, and relentless presentations of evidence, it was finally time for Sophia to make her closing argument. The weight of the moment settled on her shoulders as she stood, papers in hand, facing the jury who held the outcome in their hands."Ladies and gentlemen of the jury," Sophia began, her voice strong and clear, echoing slightly in the hushed room. "Over the past few days, you have been presented with overwhelming evidence that not only places the defendants at the scene of the crime but also directly implicates them in the conspiracy to murder my father."She paced slowly in front of the jury, making eye contact with each member as she spoke. "We have shown you phone records that map a network of calls between the defendants in the days leading up to my father's death. You have seen financial documents that detail unusual payments made by the defendants to kno

The evening was calm, with a gentle warmth suffusing the apartment as Sophia and Alexander sat down for dinner. The soft clink of cutlery and the savory aroma of the meal created a comforting atmosphere. Sophia, who had been caught up in a whirlwind of emotions and tasks over the past weeks, seemed to carry a lighter air about her."I found the dress, Alex," she said, a smile spreading across her face as she passed him the salad. "It’s more than just beautiful—it made me feel like a bride."Alexander looked up from his plate, his eyes shining with happiness and a touch of relief. "I can't wait to call you my wife," he replied earnestly. "It’s going to be a beautiful day."Sophia nodded, her smile lingering as she thought about the dress and the upcoming wedding. Then her expression sobered slightly as she shifted the conversation toward a more somber topic. "I've finalized everything with the case too," she continued, her voice steady but carrying a weight. "I want to get it over wit

As Sophia and Evelyn stepped into the boutique, the soft chime of a bell announced their arrival. The interior was spacious and airy, bathed in natural light that streamed through large windows, setting the various wedding dresses aglow like artifacts in a museum. Velvet sofas and plush chairs dotted the space, inviting relaxation and conversation.Sophia, with a tentative excitement beginning to flicker in her eyes, drifted towards the racks of gowns. Her fingers delicately traced the textures of fine lace, silky satin, and sparkling embellishments, each fabric telling its own story of potential bridal bliss.Evelyn watched with a supportive smile, allowing Sophia the space to explore her initial impressions. Before long, a saleswoman with an impeccably tailored suit and a warm, professional smile approached them.“Good morning, ladies! I'm Marianne, and I’ll be assisting you today. Do you have any particular styles in mind?” she inquired, her tone both friendly and efficient.Sophia
After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife #245 “Today is About You."
In the weeks leading up to their wedding, Sophia’s schedule was a whirlwind of activity. Every day was a balancing act between the joyous tasks of wedding planning and the somber preparations for the legal case surrounding her father’s untimely death. Sophia moved tirelessly from reviewing floral arrangements to sifting through legal documents, her mind often seeming miles away even when her body was present.Alexander watched all of this with a growing concern for Sophia’s well-being. He saw how her shoulders tensed up more with each passing day and how her smiles came less frequently. Determined to lighten her burden, Alexander took it upon himself to be her pillar during this tumultuous time. He brought her favorite lunches during her breaks, sat through meetings about table settings and cake designs, and listened attentively as she debated over color schemes for the reception.Yet, as the wedding day approached, Alexander noticed an unmistakable shadow of preoccupation in Sophia’
After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife #244 "So Sudden, So Senseless."
Sophia, Alexander, and Linda spent the day exploring the local sights and enjoying a leisurely lunch at a charming sidewalk café in downtown Minnesota. The sun was warm, and the streets were bustling with activity, creating a lively backdrop for their outing. Linda, who hadn't seen her daughter in some time, was particularly taken with Alexander. She noticed the way he treated Sophia with respect and affection, and she couldn't help but be charmed by his genuine interest in the stories she shared about her childhood town.As they walked through the local market, Linda and Alexander laughed over a stall selling outrageously huge hats, and he even persuaded her to pose for a photo wearing one. Linda found herself warming up to him more with each passing moment, appreciating his easygoing nature and the obvious love he had for her daughter.In the evening, after a dinner filled with lively conversation and reminiscing, Sophia sensed it was the right time to have a more serious conversat

As the plane soared through the sky towards Minnesota, Alexander couldn't shake off his nerves. He fidgeted in his seat, constantly adjusting his tie and checking his phone. Sophia couldn't help but find his behavior amusing. "Relax, Alex," she chuckled, nudging him gently. "You're acting like you're about to face a firing squad." Alexander let out a nervous laugh. "I can't help it. Meeting your mother feels like a big deal." Sophia smiled reassuringly. "Hey, she's going to love you. Just be yourself." "Yeah, but what if she doesn't?" Alexander's worry was palpable. "Silly," Sophia said, squeezing his hand. "Trust me, my mother has a knack for putting people at ease. Besides, I have a feeling she's going to have a lot of fun messing with you." Alexander looked at her with wide eyes. "Wait, what do you mean by that?" Sophia laughed. "Oh, don't worry. It's nothing bad. She just likes to test people to see how they handle themselves." "Well, I hope I pass the test," Alexander sai
