Legal Actions

His phone buzzed again, the screen lighting up with another message. He didn’t need to look to know who it was from. Amanda, Seraphina’s sister, his ex-wife, had been relentless.

The divorce settlement had dragged on longer than he had anticipated, and now it was threatening to ruin everything he had started to rebuild with Seraphina.

He unlocked his phone, staring at the latest message.

“Again, we need to meet and talk about the divorce settlement. If you keep delaying, I’ll have to take legal action.”

He groaned, leaning his head back against the headrest. Amanda’s timing couldn’t have been worse. He had tried to keep his past and his present separate, but now the lines were blurring, and it was affecting the one person he didn’t want to hurt.

“Why can’t she just leave me alone?” he thought bitterly. “I’ve moved on, and she should too.”

Alex knew he had to deal with Amanda sooner rather than later. The longer he put it off, the more it would eat away at his chances with Seraphina.
