Divorce To Marry A CEO Chapter 33: Troubled Catherine
Alexander’s expression darkened, his cold demeanor becoming icy. The tension in the room was palpable.“Ethan!” Sophia scolded, stepping between them. “I’m the one who proposed to him. Don’t blame him for this.”Alexander calmed down; he watched Ethan with an unreadable expression and finally spoke. “It’s fine. He’s just looking out for you. I understand.”Catherine’s voice cut through the tension. “Ethan, apologize. Now.”Ethan hesitated, his jaw tightening. He looked at Alexander and muttered, “I’m sorry.”Alexander inclined his head slightly in acknowledgment.An awkward silence followed.Catherine clapped her hands together, trying to lighten the mood. “Sophia, why don’t you and Ethan go buy a nice fish for dinner? It’s been so long since I’ve had one.”Sophia hesitated, glancing at Alexander, who nodded in approval. After all, he was a busy man. “I’ll wait here,” he said simply, taking a seat on the couch.Sophia grabbed Ethan’s arm and pulled him toward the door. “Come on, let’s

When they arrived at Valmere, Alexander headed straight to his study, muttering something about catching up on work. Sophia didn’t mind. She made her way to the kitchen, eager to focus on preparing dinner. Cooking was her escape, a way to silence the noise in her head.She decided on stuffed chicken with herbs, a dish that required careful preparation. As she worked, the familiar rhythm of chopping, stirring, and seasoning brought her a sense of calm. One hour later, the meal was ready, and she set the table with precision. Just as she placed the last fork, Alexander entered the dining room.He didn’t say much at first, simply taking his seat as she served him. They ate in silence, but Sophia noticed something unusual. Alexander, who normally approached meals like they were a chore, seemed to linger over each bite. He chewed slower, his gaze distant, as though he were somewhere else entirely.Sophia's cooking always reminded him of his mother.“Is everything okay?” Sophia asked hesit

Carla’s eyebrows lifted slightly. “Tampered with?”“Yes,” Sophia said, her eyes darting toward Nina. “The edits were made from another account. Nina’s account, to be specific.”A ripple of murmurs swept through the room. Nina’s head shot up, her calm facade cracking. “That’s ridiculous,” she said sharply. “Why would I touch your files?”“I don’t know,” Sophia said in an accusing tone, “but the timestamps don’t lie. Would you like to explain?”Carla turned to Nina, her gaze piercing. “Nina?”For a moment, Nina’s composure faltered, but she quickly recovered. “There must be some mistake,” she said, her voice laced with indignation. “Maybe my account was hacked.”She didn't expect Sophia to be so bold as to accuse her in front of Carla Lennox. She had sabotaged many other designers who she thought were a threat to her.There is a rumor that Carla might be promoted, and Nina wanted to make sure she would be the one to take over her position.But this time, despite schooling in the same co

Emily pretended to be hurt. “Ouch, that hurts, girl.” She winked and walked back to her desk, leaving Sophia alone with her thoughts. As noon approached, Sophia’s nerves were frayed. She’d managed to pull together three drafts using older ideas, but she knew Nina would still find a way to twist things. Just as she was finalizing the third draft, Nina’s voice cut through the office. “Sophia,” she said, sauntering over. “It’s almost noon. Do you have my drafts?” Sophia looked up, her heart sinking. But before she could respond, a sharp clap echoed through the room. “Attention, everyone!” Carla Lennox stood in the doorway, her commanding presence silencing the office. “I have an announcement.” The room fell silent, and all eyes turned to Carla. “Sophia Blackwell,” Carla began, her gaze locking on Sophia. “From now on, you don’t need to submit your drafts to senior designers. You’ll submit th

Zach’s eyes lit up at her words, misconstruing her professional tone. To him, this was easier than he thought. He glanced at his associates, who laughed knowingly. "You’re lucky tonight, Mr. Thompson," one of them teased. Zach grinned his yellowed teeth on full display. Sophia resisted the urge to look away, her professionalism holding firm. She smiled professionally before urging him again, “Okay, your sign, Mr Thompson." Zach took the contract, picked up the pen, and signed quickly without much thinking. He said, "There you go, Miss Blackwell.” Handing it back to her, he added, “Now we can get to the good part. Shall we celebrate properly?" Sophia’s stomach twisted as she slid the signed contract into her bag. “Thank you, Mr. Thompson. I’m sure this partnership will be mutually beneficial.” Zach leaned closer, his breath reeking of alcohol. “Oh, it’ll be beneficial, all right.” He reached fo

When they were a few blocks from the Allure building, Sophia waved Emma and Grace goodbye as she got out of the cab. Her eyes scanned the street ahead, searching for the familiar black sedan. It was parked a few blocks away, the headlights blinking to life as she approached. She smiled faintly, appreciating the driver’s punctuality. As she reached for the back door, the driver’s side opened. To her surprise, Alexander stepped out, adjusting the cuff of his tailored suit. “You want me to be your driver now?” he asked, his voice carrying an amused undertone. Sophia froze for a second, startled. “Alexander? How… How are you here so fast? I left you at the Image Club an hour ago.” His eyes twinkled with subtle mischief. “Thank you?” he prompted, gesturing toward the front passenger door. Realizing she was still standing there like a statue, Sophia muttered a quick, “Oh! Thank you,” before sliding

Sophia followed Alexander as the elevator doors closed with a soft hum, ascending to the top floor of the luxurious restaurant. She couldn’t help but glance at him, his tall frame commanding attention even in silence. The elevator chimed, and the doors opened to reveal a stunning private dining area. The space screamed wealth; golden chandeliers, plush carpets, and panoramic views of the city through floor-to-ceiling windows. Sophia froze for a moment, unable to mask her awe.“This way,” Alexander said, his voice calm but firm as he gestured toward the reserved table.Sophia followed, taking in the marble table adorned with silverware that gleamed under the soft lights. Two attendants pulled out their chairs simultaneously, and Alexander nodded his thanks, taking his seat.Sophia sat down, smoothing her dress nervously. She couldn’t help but think, Just how powerful is Alexander?The staff brought out the menu, and Sophia noticed Alexand

Sophia’s journey at Allure Fashion was anything but smooth, but her determination and natural talent made her stand out. Late nights working on sketches, brainstorming sessions with Emily, and countless hours perfecting every detail were finally paying off. Her latest project, a line of elegant evening wear, had just received glowing feedback from one of the company’s most influential clients.After the meeting, Carla approached her with a rare smile. “Sophia, that was impressive,” she said, her usually sharp tone softer. “The clients were satisfied, frankly, and so am I. You possess an eye for detail that most designers don't have. Keep this up, and you’ll go far.”Sophia felt her chest swell with pride. “Thank you, Carla. That means a lot coming from you.”“Just don’t let it get over your head,” Carla said with a wink before turning to leave. “Stay focused.”As Sophia returned to her desk, her heart brimmed with excitement. She had wor

Rachel fumbled with the keys, her hands shaking. The moment she pushed the door open, she froze. “Oh my God!” Her voice was barely audible.The room was scattered, with glasses on the floor and furniture overturned, and in the middle of it all, Jessica sat with her back against her bed, her expression blank.Rachel’s stomach dropped. “Jessica!” She rushed in, nearly slipping on the scattered glasses. “What happened?”“My dear, what have you done?” She cried, as her heart broke, seeing her daughter sitting in the middle of the mess.“Meccy, get someone to clean up quickly,” she ordered the assistant and helped Jessica up.“Honey, what do you think you're doing? You need to listen to dad and grandpa. They mean well. Just go abroad for a few months. Okay?” She persuaded her.“Mom, I don't want to. What's so special about that woman? Alexander is even willing to go against our family just for her. Now she wants me away completely?” Jessica complained. If it wasn't for Sophia, Alexande

Alexander kept quiet, unsure of where to start or, rather, how to start.But Sophia wasn't in a hurry; she just stood there, watching him.“Can we talk somewhere else?” he asked cautiously, glancing at Amelia.“I'll be inside. Call me if you need anything.” Catching on his hesitation, Amelia interjected, tapping Sophia on her shoulder.Sophia nodded appreciatively.As soon as Amelia went inside, the air between them felt heavier. Alexander stepped closer, his shoes barely making a sound.He wanted to reach out and hold her in his arms, to make sure she was still his, but he stopped himself. Instead, he shoved his hands into his pockets, trying to ignore the pull in his chest.“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone to meet Jessica,” he admitted.“Was it the reason you were unreachable when Mr Egerton needed your signature?” Sophia asked, staring daggers at him.Alexander was shocked! Oh no, what a terrible coincidence.“What do you mean, sweetheart? I had a meeting at Evans Towers at that
Divorce To Marry A CEO Chapter 108: Michael's Ambition
Finally, Alexander decided to get some rest and wait for tomorrow to go find Sophia. But his mind wandered to his friend Michael Jordan. The Jordan family was the pioneer in cutting-edge technologies, investing in almost everything from advanced robotics to aerospace engineering. They had built a tech empire under the leadership of old master Jordan and were well respected for their strategic ventures that pushed the boundaries of invention. But for Michael, that wasn’t enough. Born into a family that thrived on technological progress, his ambition still outpaced even their expectations. From a young age, he wanted to create his own projects and not just within the confines of the family business. His projects were always bold and demanding, requiring massive capital for developments. The good thing was that he had a keen eye for projects with the potential to reshape current and future technology.He had developed cutting-edge AI systems, quantum computing, and next-gen encryp

Suddenly, a group of men in black suits emerged from the shadows, their movements swift and deliberate.Their presence was subtle yet commanding, like a storm brewing in the distance.Before Marcus or his bodyguards could react, swift and precise strikes took them down.The air shifted, and in an instant, Marcus’s moment to shine was completely overturned.Groaning in pain, he barely had time to process what had just happened.One of the men turned to Amelia and gave a respectful nod. "Get Madam out of here."Amelia didn’t have time to register what had just happened. She simply nodded and led Sophia to the car.As she sped away, she stole one last glance in the rearview mirror. The mighty Marcus Hawthorne was brought to his knees. About time! She smiled, wishing Sophia was sober to witness the scene. If they weren't in a hurry, she would have stopped to take a picture.By the time Marcus regained his senses, Amelia’s car was long gone.He got up with the help of his bodyguards, who

The woman looked at Sophia, unable to hide the shock in her eyes.Just as she was about to respond, a speeding car screeched next to them.“Be careful,” she warned before vanishing into the darkness.The front door of the car opened and a burly man stepped out, opening the back door.Amelia, who was about to lead Sophia to her car, paused to look at the newcomer.“Could it be your husband?” she asked Sophia who was leaning on her shoulders.“Let's go. I don't wan’ to… see him.” Sophia said, urging Amelia to lead her to the car.Amelia nodded, agreeing with Sophia. Why did it take him so long to show up?Amelia was more disappointed with Alexander and she turned around without sparing the car another glance.But when they took two steps, a voice came from behind startling both women.“Sophia, sorry I'm late. I came as soon as I heard you were in danger.”Sophia froze as her mind cleared slightly, recognizing the voice.“Marcus?” she asked, turning around to confirm.Sure enough, Marcus

Back at The Last Stop Bar, Sophia was still drinking, her eyes glassy and her words slightly slurred. Amelia, sitting beside her, had been trying to coax her into leaving for the past hour. “Bestie, you’ve had enough. We should leave,” she said, gently placing a hand on Sophia’s arm. Sophia blinked lazily, pushing the glass away from her lips. “No... I can take a… few more drinks… Amelia.” Amelia stared in disbelief. Sophia was already slurring, yet she wanted more. With a sigh, she reached for the glass and pushed it further out of her reach. “Come on, let’s go,” she said, her voice firmer this time. Reluctantly, Sophia nodded. “Fine, but I don’t want to see him.” Amelia bit her lip, glancing around the bar. She knew who she was referring to but where else should she drop her?

Meanwhile, in Jessica's private villa, she sat smugly, her manicured fingers resting against her cheeks as she savored the chaos she had caused.Two servants were giving her a massage and she closed her eyes to relish the moment.Her assistant had been pacing outside, waiting for permission to enter.Jessica had specifically given the order that no one should disturb her.Two hours later, she signaled for her assistant to get in.The assistant hurried in nervously.“What's it? Didn't I say I don't need you around until tomorrow?” Jessica snapped.She wanted a peaceful evening, yet this girl had been standing there for hoursIf I weren’t in such a good mood, I’d have her punished for standing outside that long.“Miss Jason, the news was pulled down.” the assistant reported cautiously.“What?” Jessica snapped, sitting up straight, her eyes turning cold.“Didn’t I tell you to use however much money you needed to make it trend until tomorrow?” She asked angrily.“We tried, Miss Jason.

Amelia reached across the table and held her hand. There was nothing more to say.The alcohol might dull the pain for a while, but it could never truly heal her heart.She knew this had to be a misunderstanding, but where was Alexander? As Sophia's husband, shouldn't he be here to clear things up?***Back at the other end of the city, the man in question was rushing frantically through the city.After failing to locate Sophia at the office, he had driven like a madman to Sophia’s old apartment.Nothing.His chest felt like it was being crushed with every second she remained missing.

Meanwhile, in Alexander’s Office… He had returned in a rush, still angry with Jessica.He hadn’t even spent three minutes in the hotel room. The moment he saw Jessica waiting for him, he knew something was off.She had danced around the topic of Gerald, offering no substantial information. It had been a waste of time, and he’d left almost immediately.Now, standing in his office, his assistant, Mark, rushed in, holding a tablet.“Boss, you need to see this,” Mark said, handing it over.Alexander stared at the screen, his heart dropping into his stomach.The headlines were everywhere. Photos of him and Jessica entering the hotel room together were plastered across every major news outlet.The captions were even worse, speculating about their relationship and hinting at an affair.Alexander’s grip tightened on the tablet. His jaw clenched. "Damn it!" he muttered, his pulse racing.He hadn’t done anything wrong, but the media had already made their own narrative.And now, the entire wor
