Divorce To Marry A CEO Chapter 61: Their First Night
The drive back was quiet, but his mind was still filled with the thoughts of his uncle Gerald and what he was probably planning. Gerald’s reach was far wider than he had expected. Every move he made seemed well articulated, especially with the mysterious man who even his team couldn't trace. But this fueled Alexander's determination to stop him.When he arrived home, the house was eerily quiet. He expected to find Sophia asleep in her room, but as he made his way up to his bedroom, he was surprised to find her waiting for him, sitting on the edge of his bed.“Hey, why are you not asleep?” he asked softly, his voice filled with a mixture of amusement and affection.Sophia smiled, her eyes lighting up the moment she saw him. “I wanted to wait for you.”He paused a little, touched by her words as he felt some warmth spread through him. No matter how chaotic his life was, Sophia was always there. She was his constant, grounding him in ways he couldn’t

Encouraged by her response, he increased the pressure slightly, his movements more deliberate. Her hands gripped his thighs beneath the water, her nails digging into his skin as the tension built inside her. He nuzzled her neck, whispering sweet nothings between kisses. “I want you to feel everything, Sophia. Let go for me.” She relaxed, letting him get closer, feeling his hands gently touch her. It was like a soft conversation without words. She leaned in, letting him guide her, and the warmth between them grew. Slowly, he moved with care, drawing them even closer. The way their bodies felt so close created a comforting warmth. They didn’t need to speak; everything felt right at that moment. As they moved, their breathing grew a little quicker, but it wasn’t rushed. They found a quiet rhythm, like two people who knew each other well. Each small movement was a way to say, "I’m here," without needing to say more.

“Amelia!” Sophia gasped, tossing a pillow at her friend with a playful frown.Amelia laughed, ducking to avoid the pillow. “What? So you’re not going to spill the beans?”She teased her yearning for more juicy gossip and Sophia couldn't believe her friend. The atmosphere was filled with their laughter and chatting as they finally sat down with breakfast, even though it was already past 2 pm. After catching up on the usual gossip and updates, the mood shifted. Sophia leaned back against the couch, the weight of recent events pressing down on her.She began to tell Amelia everything that had happened over the past few days. She told her about the kidnapping, the tension with Gerald, and the constant feeling of danger lurking around the corner.Amelia listened intently, her face a mix of disbelief, worry, and sympathy. “I can’t believe all of this is happening. Marrying into a wealthy family sounded like a dream come true, with wealth, luxu

Alexander stood close to Sophia, his gaze intense as if he were seeing her for the first time. The anxiety of the past few days dissipated in that moment, and nothing else mattered. He gently cupped her face with his hand.“I missed you, my love,” he whispered softly before leaning in, capturing her lips gently.Sophia raised her head tilting it enough for him to deepen the kiss, surrendering herself to the warmth of his embrace. It felt as though the world outside had ceased to exist, leaving just the two of them. Alexander deepened the kiss, and Sophia melted in his every touch.Their kisses grew more intense as he guided her toward the bed, without breaking the kiss. The sheets rustled beneath them, and for a while, they let themselves forget everything, including Gerald's looming threat.After what felt like forever, they lay together, holding each other closely. Alexander brushed a strand of hair from Sophia’s face, gazing into her

David led Sophia to the corner of the living room, eager to show off his gaming skills. Alexander watched from the side, a smirk on his face.David handed her the controller. “Get ready to lose,” he said, already confident.But as soon as the game started, Sophia moved quickly, catching him off guard. She played smart, and before long, she was winning.David blinked. “Wait… what? You’re really good at this.”Sophia didn’t look up, focused on the screen. “Told you I could handle it.”In the end, Sophia won. David sat back, shocked. “I can’t believe you beat me.”Alexander looked at him with a smirk as if saying. “Never underestimate my wife.”David stood up, rubbing his head, not wanting to give up yet. “Alright, you’re cool and I admit defeat. But we must have a rematch soon.”Sophia smiled. “Anytime.”He was more curious now. “How long have you been gaming?”Sophia shrugged. “I used to play a

Sophia’s eyes widened in disbelief. She hadn’t expected anything like this. She covered her mouth in shock, trying to process the gesture. As a designer, she could tell instantly that the necklace was not just expensive. It was a valuable masterpiece. The diamonds were cut with precision, and the gold setting gleamed with a subtle elegance. It was worth more than anything she could have imagined. "Grandma, I… I can't accept this. It’s too valuable," she stammered, feeling overwhelmed. But Elena, with a knowing smile, shook her head. "It’s yours, dear. No one else in this family is worthy of wearing it." Sophia hesitated, still unsure. She looked at Alexander for support, her gaze softening. Alexander gave her a reassuring nod, signaling that it was okay to accept it. With a deep breath, Sophia finally spoke. "Thank you so much, Grandma. I’ll treasure it." Elena’s eyes twinkled with joy as she laughed. "You sh

Alexander met her eyes and smiled, trying to assure her."Yeah, everything's fine." He said, though his thoughts were already distorted.The night had just begun, and he had a feeling it was going to be far more complicated than he’d anticipated.Sophia, still holding his hand, saw the woman sitting in a corner. She didn’t know all the history, but it was clear she wasn’t just another friend. As soon as Alexander’s grip on her hand tightened, she knew this wasn’t going to be a pleasant reunion.The woman watched them closely, without bothering to hide her attention. She set her wine glass down with a soft clink, stood up, and walked toward Alexander.Her expression was calm, but her eyes were fixed only on him.“Alexander,” she said, using his full name. Her voice was polite but edged with something else. “It’s been a while.” Alexander's jaw tightened, and his smile vanished. “Miss Jason,” he said, the words coming out colde

Sophia stood at the sink in the restroom, splashing cool water on her face. She took a moment to breathe, steadying herself. Jessica’s snide comments and the way she had been gazing at Alexander all night were hard to ignore. The woman’s intentions were clear, but Sophia wasn’t sure if she was ready to handle her.As she straightened up, the restroom door creaked open. She turned to see Jessica walking in, her heels clicking against the tiled floor. “Speaking of the devil!” She cursed inwardly.The woman’s confident stride and cold smirk made her stomach churn. Jessica closed the door behind her, leaning against it as if she had all the time in the world.“Miss Blackwell, you seem like someone who just came from the war,” Jessica commented, giving her a sly smile.“Oh do I, Miss Jason?” Why don't I feel it?” Sophia replied, uninterested, as she wiped the water droplets from her face.Jessica didn't like the attitude Sophia was giving her.

The receptionists exchanged confused glances. Yes, they could tell the man before them wasn't an average Joe just from the aura he gave them. But they couldn't go against the company's policy.They were right, not many people knew who Alexander was except a few business associates. He wasn't in the mood to wait so he pulled out his phone and called Michael.“I’m at the reception,” he said, his voice flat when the call was answered.Michael, who was busy with his work, frowned after answering the call. Alexander has never visited his company before. Did something serious come up? Without hesitation, he rushed downstairs.The moment he spotted Alexander, who was waiting at the reception despite his impatient nature, he got furious.“What are you all doing? Don't you know who he is? The next time you make him wait, you can all forget about working here. He berated the receptionists.He then turned to Alexander and gave him a fr
Divorce To Marry A CEO Chapter 77: He's the mysterious man
The sight of Larry made Alexander’s blood boil with rage when his mind flashed back to the "woodie guy" he had been investigating. His eyes narrowed as realization struck him. It was him! He was the same person who had visited Gerald in prison, the one who had likely orchestrated his escape. And him approaching Sophia now? This was not a coincidence. He had his team investigate him and nothing crucial came up. He even sent a half-photo of this man to Michael, his trusted friend, to dig up information. And before he got any feedback, here the man was, sitting across from his wife. Alexander wanted nothing but to walk right before the guy and kill him with his bare hands. The aura around him shifted drastically but before many people could notice it, he took a slow breath, pushing down the anger that was about to consume him. By the time he started walking inside, he had already composed himself and with deliberate strides, he approached the
Divorce To Marry A CEO Chapter 76: Some guy beat you
Back in the chairman's office, Drake Egerton leaned back in his chair and said in admiration, “But I must admit, your wife is something else. Totally different from most women out there. Most care about material things and status, but look at her, she doesn't even want people to know she’s connected to you. And worse? She refused the company. Allure Fashion is the top fashion house in the country, yet she couldn't care less.” Alexander nodded a proud smile on his face. He knew exactly the kind of woman Sophia was and that was why he couldn't resist falling in love with her. Drake smirked. “Man, you've got a gem. If I could win her, I swear I’d take her to my grandpa tomorrow and marry her the next day. I would even make her...” He suddenly stopped, sensing the shift in the air. The deadly glare from his friend sent a chill down his spine. If looks could kill, Drake would be dead by now. He shifted uncomfortably in his chai
Divorce To Marry A CEO Chapter 75: I Screwed
Alexander nodded, stepping closer, trying to sound more sincere, his eyes pleading for her to believe him. “Yes, he knows. Drake isn't just an employee; he's a good friend, and I trust him. Just like Michael and Jake. Besides, we studied abroad together, so we're more like brothers. But I promise, he didn’t know anything about you until after I called him. He couldn’t have interfered with your promotion because he wasn’t involved until I made that call.” Sophia relaxed slightly, knowing they could trust Drake with their secret. Still, that didn't mean she had forgiven him; she was still angry. “You made me look like a fool there. I shared my experiences and struggles at work, and you didn't say a word. How can I trust you?” she asked quietly, still wondering what else he was hiding from her. Alexander’s shoulders slumped. He crossed the room, closing the gap between them. “I know, sweetheart. I should’ve told you sooner. I’m sorry. I will never hide a
Divorce To Marry A CEO Chapter 74: Sophia's Angry
Sophia felt her heart beat faster as every head in the meeting room turned to her. Some faces held admiration, others curiosity. Almost all the women in the room gave her an envious look. The men seemed intrigued, their eyes glancing at her with curiosity. What's it about her that had caught the chairman’s attention? And then there was Nina. Her green eyes narrowed slightly and she couldn't conceal her jealousy. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists under the table. She had worked tirelessly in this company, but no matter how much effort she put in, she couldn't outshine Sophia even though she had joined long before her. And what made it even worse was that Sophia was not only hardworking and talented but also kind. It made it impossible to hate without looking petty. Her friend Emily, on the other hand, beamed with excitement. She nudged her with an elbow, lowering her voice. “Oh my God, Soph! What did you do to catch his at

“Well, what do you expect?” Emily grinned. “A mysterious, wealthy, young, and handsome chairman? Of course, everyone can't wait to see him. But the big question is: Is he single? I know many people are ready to try their luck.” Sophia rolled her eyes but smiled. “You included, right?” Emily waved her hand dismissively. “Please, I’m just here for fun. But who wouldn't like such a charming man?” She added, widening her eyes. “Hey don't tell me you're not interested?” Sophia shrugged her shoulders, disinterested, “No, I'll pass, but all the best. I hope you can impress him.” She was amused by how these women were behaving like school girls mesmerized by a man they hadn't even seen. Emily laughed out loud before lowering her voice, “I think someone needs luck more.” “Who?” She asked surprised. Emily motioned her head and Sophia followed. Sure enough, she saw Nina, who was checking herself out in a mirror, adju

Curious, she made her way to the front of the office, only to spot Larry standing at the reception desk, flashing her that same charming smile. Sophia blinked, surprised to see him. “What? Larry? What are you doing here?” Larry gave her a friendly smile. “I bet you're surprised. I was, too, when I heard you work here.” Sophia just looked at him quizzically as if saying that's not enough explanation. Larry added, “Well I came here to have my suite designed. I heard Allure Fashion is one of the best fashion houses in Eldridge and Kyla. Who knew you were one of their best designers.” Sophia tried to hide her surprise. “Yeah, that’s a coincidence.” Larry shrugged, unfazed. “Since you work here, I was hoping you could help me pick out something for an event I’ve got coming up.” Sophia hesitated for a moment, then nodded. It wasn’t every day a client showed up at her workplace, and besides, he had been kind t
Divorce To Marry A CEO Chapter 71: An Unexpected Visitor
“How long have you been in Eldridge?” Sophia asked, looking at him suspiciously. How come he knows people who are around me? Is it a coincidence? Who else will he mention next?Larry saw her suspicion and guarded expression and realized he had talked too much.He leaned back, giving her a friendly smile, taking a casual sip of his coffee.“Not so long but I have attended several events here. It's not hard to get to know famous people like Jessica Jason who's rumored as the most beautiful woman in Eldridge. Besides, even people outside of Eldridge know her.”She thought about it and figured it was indeed possible for him to know Jessica and Alexander since they were famous people in the business circle.“That makes sense. Well, do you know her personally? I just got to know her recently.”He shrugged his shoulders and said, “Of course not, I just saw her a few times, but just between us,” he said, leaning closer, “she's not as beautifu
Divorce To Marry A CEO Chapter 70: It Didn't Matter
Alexander went to his room to get some rest. He freshened up and climbed in his bed but the room and bed were so empty. He had been used to sleeping together with his wife, but now, he felt like an abandoned child, and he cursed Jessica several times. After lying down for a while, he realized he couldn't sleep. He left his room for the balcony, where he smoked several cigarettes and the blowing wind and cold night cooled him. Sophia, too, couldn't sleep; she turned around on the bed several times, but still, her mind was fogged with everything that had happened today. She knew she was at fault too. She shouldn't have overreacted and taken it out all on her husband. She got out of bed and went out of her room, descending the stairs on the way to the kitchen. She went to the fridge and took some milk. She drank slowly on the kitchen counter hoping that it would help her get some sleep. She then left the kitchen
