Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient 1. Divorce Papers
"Sign the fucking papers and get out of my house this moment, Sophia!" Alex Carter, her husband roared angrily as he slammed the divorce papers onto the dining table, towering over her as he raved."How could you? How on earth did you change into the worst, and the most ill-mannered person I've ever known in just a span of a few years? Where is the sweet modest girl I grew up knowing?!" Sophia who had been eating her dinner a couple of minutes ago paused, staring confusedly at Alex who finally came home after two weeks, only to toss words at her the moment he stepped in.Before she could get the chance to speak, Alex continued "You can keep all your explanations to yourself, just sign the divorce papers and get out of my house this moment! I don't want to ever see your face, nor even hear your name!"His voice sliced through the air, as he stood on the other side of the table glaring furiously at her."Alex, what's...wrong?" Sophia asked, her voice shaking a little "What papers are yo

Alex snapped his fingers "Two weeks ago, on Friday, you sent me a text about staying over at a friend's place, didn't you?!" he asked as she had an oblivious look plastered on her face."Me? Sent you a text?" Raising a brow, she questioned, not recalling ever sending him a text after their one year of marriage. Sophia had given him space, trying hard to make sure he never gets angry at her actions. She had always walked on eggshells around him, hoping it would make him at least notice her. She had hopes, high hopes."Oh fuck!" he shouted with a furious seep of air "You aren't just a cheat, you are also a liar and a fucking whore!" he roared "And I don't care, sign those papers before I return tomorrow, cause there's no one, nobody— not even grandfather would be able to stop this divorce from happening!" Of all the words he had just said, none of them hurt her as much as hearing him calling her a whore did "Alex..." Sophia whispered, she closed her eyes as tears threatened to fall. Ho

Sophia felt stupid for thinking that a miracle would happen and Alex would cherish her so much.He wanted a divorce and just like she had always done, she would listen to him. Sophia sat down on the floor of the bedroom, he gave her twenty-four hours but she decided to leave that night. Her eyes were fixated on the piece of paper in her hand as tears streamed down her eyes. She had written a letter when she was eighteen, intending to give him but she never got the chance.Their story started in high school when she fell while they were running in the school's field for P.E. The heavy fall made her end up with a small cut on her lower leg, just below her knee. The story was as vivid as daylight to her.On her way to the infirmary, someone shouted her name, looking back Sophia's gaze fell on the young guy running towards her. By the time he got to where she stood, he was gasping for breath, attempting to regain his composure."Hey," Alex said and let out a breath as he leaned forward,

As the first rays of dawn pierced through the curtains, Alex found himself gripped by an inexplicable restlessness. Thoughts of Sophia consumed his mind, leaving him no choice but to act on his mounting anxiety. It was still dark outside when he threw a jacket and stormed out, determined to confront her before she could disappear from his life. Driving swiftly through the empty streets, his knuckles white against the steering wheel, with clenched jaws, he frustratingly punched the wheel, and brushed his hand through his hair, he replayed the events of the previous day, struggling to make sense of it all. What have I done? Pulling up to the grand mansion, his heart pounding with a mix of dread and anticipation, he stepped down from the car, his eyes darted around the surrounding for a brief moment, he ruffled his hair in both frustration and confusion as his mind was in chaos. He agrees he has never been the best husband over the year, but how could she break his trust and betray h
Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient 5. False Accusations
On the same night of their divorce, the news spread like wildfire throughout the whole of Evermore about the end of the one-year marriage of Sophia Smith to Alexander Carter. And none of the rumors was a good one, as they all had the same thought. Why would Sophia Smith do that to Alexander when he was the heir of the Carter's Group of Companies, he was bagged with wealth, a brilliant young CEO, and not to mention a lot of ladies were ready to throw themselves at him the moment they got the chance. Everyone believes the failure of the marriage was Sophia's fault, failing to apprehend the fact that, for marriage to work out, the two parties should be involved wholly, something which Alex had failed. Sophia had nowhere to go, she was uncertain of what her parents would think of her, and maybe they wouldn't believe her just like Alex, she had completely switched off her phone, not ready to pick up calls from anyone as her mind was in chaos. Despite her uncertainty, she held a glimmer

The morning sun painted the sky with hues of golden rays, casting a serene glow over the bustling city of Kentucky, a heavily pregnant young lady stepped out of the grocery shop, her blonde hair blended in with the bright rays of the sun, the gentle breeze played with her hair, and the air carried the sweet scent of fresh blooming flowers outside the nearby stall. A gentle smile grazed Sophia's lips as she felt a slight kick in her abdomen, at the same time, her face pulled into a frown as she felt a sharp pain in her lower back, she released a sharp breath and sat on the bench placed outside the grocery shop. She recently found out she was going to have twins, and as her due date came closer, she had been receiving strong kicks from her babies, still unsure of what gender they were. It's been eight months already, Sophia sighed. She's already Eight months pregnant. Eight months since she left Evermore. Eight months fr

In her private office at the hospital, a young woman took a moment to relax. She swiveled in her chair, her blonde hair cascading over her shoulders. The gentle sunbeams filtered through the window, casting a warm glow on her, and an air of elegance surrounded her. Her eyes, previously closed, blinked open as she looked around her office. Her gaze lingered on the wall adorned with framed certificates and awards, evidence of her hard-earned achievements over the past five years. Among them, a framed picture caught her attention. It depicted her standing proudly with her twins, Aiden and Adeline, one on each side. Sophia sighed as she gently brushed her hair away from her face, feeling the exhaustion seep into her bones. Glancing at her wristwatch, she noticed that the school's closing hours had come and gone, and the twins were likely already home. The weight of her demanding work schedule had left her with little time to spend with them this week. A pang of guilt tug

"No. He wouldn't be there," Sophia finally answered. "It's not a problem, Mommy. Just having you here means everything to me. I'm sure Adeline feels the same way. Besides, it's time we stop dwelling on him," he said, his gaze shifting to his sister. His serious expression added years to his young face, causing a pang of sorrow in Sophia's heart. "I read a quote in a book I came across on your table a while back," Aiden said with a smile. "It said, 'People make time for what they value,' so maybe he's just too busy to spend time with us. Or check up on us."Sophia's heart sank at his words. She couldn't help but wonder how quickly her children were growing up. This wasn't how a five-year-old should be. They were supposed to be lively, full of life, and surrounded by the abundant love of both parents. Aiden seemed to be handling it better than his sister, but she knew that those who tried to hide their pain behind a facade of strength were often the ones hurting the most.

Sophia stared at Lucas for a while, before she eventually nodded. The air between them settled into a comfortable silence as they both focused on the food before them. Lucas broke the silence when he suddenly asked, "Although, she never mentioned their names," he sounded interested in the topic about her kids, she realized and glanced up at him. "Aiden and Adeline," she told him, and he smiled, his eyes brightened the slightest. "You love kids?" Sophia couldn't help but ask him. Lucas nodded with a smile curving up his lips, "I love kids," the smile on his lips was so warm, and genuine. "Do you have a sibling?" She asked him, taking a small sip from the water on the table before her. Lucas looked up from his plate, "Oh, I do," he answered, "Two younger sisters," he told her, she noticed a subtle flash of hurt glint in his eyes, "Initially, three. I lost one of them last year to an accident," he had a small smile on his face. And she quickly noticed it was a forced smile. Not

Sophia arrived at the restaurant five minutes early. She stood outside the place for a moment, before eventually walking in after a while.The moment she entered, her eyes traveled across the expanse of the place.The atmosphere was warm, with golden lights casting a soft glow over the polished wooden tables and deep red leather booths. She glanced around, her gaze sweeping over the guests until she spotted a man at the far end of the room. He was waving subtly, with a relaxed posture and an easy grin that drew her attention.She took it to be Lucas, and walked over to the booth he was sitting, slipping into one of the seats, "Hi," she mumbled, giving him a small smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.She wasn't certain on how to feel about this setting yet, and she was quite tired after spending her whole day going through a couple of files."You are early," she told him as she placed her bag beside her on the table."I arrived just a couple minutes back," his voice was deep and lo

The hospital room was silent. Too silent. And as Sophia closed her eyes, calming her nerves to the quietness of the room, she could hear the fast beat of Alex's heart. And with how close they stood, leaning into each other—she could feel his heart beating so fast. Pressing her lips together, she pushed away from him, and took a step back, creating a significant distance between them. She wasn't ready for this, whatever was between them. His gaze burned through her skin, and she was very much aware of it, despite the fact that she wasn't looking at his eyes. Without a word, she created more distance between them, taking a step at a time, before she eventually turned around and reached for the door's handle. Staying here for much longer would do her no good. "Get back to bed. You shouldn't be walking around." She opened the door, ready to step out without another word to him, but she couldn't do that. She couldn't do that to her babies. "The kids have an event in their sch

Alex brushed his fingers through his hair, he closed his eyes and released a deep, long sigh, "Sophia..." he opened his eyes and stared straight at her. "I may not have been a good husband. I may have been the worst one could call a husband for all I did, and for not listening to you." His voice broke with every single word, and she could feel the weight of his regret dripping into the air, "But please... give me a chance to prove to you, and prove to our children that I can be a better father." Sophia swallowed, feeling her eyes grow blurry. Her heart was in tatters. Her mind was in utter chaos. Why couldn't she just hate him completely? why?...why? She looked away from his eyes, unsure of what to say to him. She didn't want to give him any chance. But somehow, she did. She wanted him to prove her wrong. Despite all she had gone through cause of him, she knew there was more to the situation. She knew somewhere small in her heart, that there was more to Alex. Breaking his g

The corridor was dead drop silent and there was no one walking around the room, nor were the security guards outside. It was completely empty.Pursing her lips, Sophia rubbed her clammy hands and released a deep breath. She reached out for the door handle and pulling it down.Before heading to his room, she was hundred percent certain that her emotions would stay in check. How difficult could it be to just check on the patient and leave? she had done it numerous times, so Alex being the patient this time around shouldn't make any difference, she thought.But as soon as she stepped into the room, a wave of uncertainty consumed her.Sophia stared down at Alex who sat on the bed, completely dressed in the hospital attire and typing something in his laptop, his brows were creased into a frown and she wondered what it is that was getting his shoulders worked up and stiff just few hours after he regained consciousness.It took him time to notice her presence as he had thought it was one of

"What the heck. What kind of people are these anyway?" Sophia heard Finn utter from behind her, she had almost forgotten that he was here with her—and just like him, she also found those words stupid. She tilted her head to meet his gaze, Finn's tall frame stood protectively beside her, his arms crossed tightly over his chest, betraying his growing frustration. His jaw clenched, and his eyes darted between Sophia and the agitated family, silently observing, it appeared he was ready to intervene if needed.Sophia decided to play calm, internally reminding herself that 'all situations could be solved amicably' just like Adeline always says, and she asked, "What compensation?"The mother and son glanced at each other before he spoke out, "Seven hundred thousand dollars is what we request. Pay that, and we'll leave.""If you refuse to listen to our demands, we'll file a lawsuit and demand for millions instead." His mother added with a threat.Sophia lifted her brows and suddenly chuckled

Sophia could feel the beads of sweat forming under her skin, she released a deep breath before returning to where the others were seated, gazing up at her as she approached."Mommy, are you okay?" Aiden asked he was about to stand up and hand her water since he couldn't think of what she might need, at least water helped, but Sophia waved him off with a smile."I'm okay," she said."Sophia," Finn called, with creased brows, but just before he could say anything, Sophia flashed him an honest smile."I'm okay for real, everything is alright, I just need to get to the hospital, now." Walking over to where Aiden sat, she gave him a soft peck on his cheeks, before doing the same to Adeline."I'm so sorry, guys, but I've got to leave. We could make arrangements and do this another day, but it can't be today anymore." She explained.Sophia continued, "Oh, Evelyn, and Beth, not sure how long you both intend to stay—" She wanted to ask if they could stay with the kids for a while, but Evelyn co

"Serious, are you going out on a date? A blind date?!" he asked slowly after Sophia didn't respond for a while, his tone was softer.Sophia lifted her brows, was it that surprising to him? "Umm...yes?" she responded."Oh," Finn said, before standing straight, but his eyes were on her, yet she could barely deduce what he was thinking."Thought I should tone down a bit. Does it seem that surprising?" Sophia chuckled, Finn simply shook his head, not saying anything; perhaps keeping his words would be better than stating them, so all he did was smile."You look surprised, confused, and..." Sophia trailed off, unsure of what other expression Finn was giving her, and just before she could point it out, he looked away and brushed his hair to the back; with his fingers, smoothly."Surprised 'cause you didn't mention it to me before and I found out this way," he paused, Sophia lifted her brows at him and he cleared his throat, "I'm not trying to pry, but mentioning it to me wouldn't have been

Nearly two days have gone since Alex underwent the surgery, but yet there was no sign of him waking up soon. More than anything, Sophia wanted him to wake up, not because of anything but her kids.They hadn't said anything since the last time they checked on Alex, but she was certain they wanted to say something but were holding back—maybe she shouldn't have yelled at them days back, cause now they weren't expressing themselves to her and it bothered her.It was the weekend, and she had the day off before her shift resumed later, at night. So, rather than busying herself with other things, she decided to spend the day with Aiden and Adeline. Sophia stared deeply at the mirror, her hands gently fiddled with her hair brush. A while later she stepped out of the room and walked downstairs to see Aiden focused on something in his tablet, while Adeline was nowhere to be found."Where's Addie?" she asked as she stepped into the living room. Aiden looked up immediately when he heard her voic
