My Ex-Husband is Out of Control CHAPTER 150
Sophia’s POVThe night was still, but my mind was anything but. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my thoughts racing in circles. The image of Elijah lying in the hospital haunted me, the fear of what I might find if I visited him eating at me. What if I walked in on him and Julia acting like a couple? The mere thought twisted my stomach into knots. But then, a voice in my mind scoffed, So what? You don't love him anymore, do you?I slipped out of bed and went to check on Reese. She was already fast asleep, her small body curled up under the blankets. I gently brushed a strand of hair from her face, trying to find some peace in her innocence. When I came out of her bedroom, a knock interrupted my thoughts. I narrowed my eyes, wondering who it could be at this hour. I made my way to the door and through the peephole, I saw Adrian standing in the hallway. “Hey,” I said, letting him in. Once he was inside, that’s when I noticed that his eyes were red and glassy. The smell of alcoh
My Ex-Husband is Out of Control CHAPTER 151
Sophia’s POVAs I stood outside the grocery store, Troy's message still fresh in my mind, my hand trembled. I began to type a message to Daniel. Maybe he could have me picked up by a driver or he could book me a cab so I could get home faster. I didn't want to see Troy—didn't want to revisit the chaos he'd brought into my life. But then, before I could finish composing my message to Daniel, there he suddenly was, appearing out of nowhere like a specter from a troubled past.“What are you doing here?” I demanded, my voice sharper than intended. “Are you following me? How did you find me?”“I have my ways,” he said mysteriously, frightening me. “I know where you live. I know where Reese goes to school. I know where you get your groceries. I know where you work…”His words gave me the chills. I could tell that he was satisfied to see the look of horror on my face. Troy shrugged nonchalantly. “We're family, Sophia. Family helps each other out.”I scoffed bitterly, despite being a little
My Ex-Husband is Out of Control CHAPTER 152
Sophia’s POVMy heart raced with worry and confusion. Elijah was the only one who could help me make sense of this. He had to know what Troy meant and what we could do about it. Late that afternoon, I decided to go to the hospital. Nevermind what I’ll see when I get there, I thought bitterly as I remembered how Elijah and Julia had seemed closer than friends the last time I saw them there. Reaching Julia’s hospital room, I was surprised to find it empty. It was a good thing when a nurse passed by. “Oh, you’re looking for the patient?” she asked. “Yes, I’m her friend. She’s with our other friend Elijah?”“Right,” the nurse said, recognition lighting up in her eyes. “That sweet boyfriend of hers who never leaves her side? They’re in the physical therapy room.”I frowned when I heard how she described Elijah. But I reminded myself that I was here for an important purpose. I needed to speak to Elijah, even if that meant finding out for certain if he and Julia were already a couple. Fo
My Ex-Husband is Out of Control CHAPTER 153
Sophia’s POVI raced down the hospital hallway, footsteps echoing in the sterile silence. My heart pounded, the words I'd overheard from Elijah echoing in my mind like a relentless drumbeat. Tears blurred my vision as I fled, anger and hurt mixing into a bitter cocktail. How could I still feel this way? I thought I'd moved on, convinced myself that Elijah was a closed chapter in my life. Yet, hearing his conversation with Julia tore open old wounds I thought had healed.I found solace in a quiet alcove, pressing my back against the cool wall. I can’t believe it, I thought with mixed emotions. Am I still craving for his genuine love, still hoping it’s going to come?Gathering my composure, I decided to check in on Grandma Evelyn. I took several deep breaths and began walking toward her hospital room. Since I was already here, it would be good to know about her progress from the doctors and nurses assigned to her. Approaching Evelyn's room, I caught sight of Chris's parents standing o
My Ex-Husband is Out of Control CHAPTER 154
Sophia’s POVThe hospital visit weighed heavily on my mind as I trudged back to my apartment. Chris's parents had made it abundantly clear that they still held me responsible for everything that had happened, and their harsh words replayed in my head like a broken record. I felt drained, both emotionally and physically, as I finally reached my door.As soon as I opened it, Reese came bounding toward me, her face lighting up with pure joy.“Mommy, you're home!” she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. She threw her little arms around my legs, and I bent down to scoop her up into a hug, feeling a warmth wash over me that I desperately needed.“Hey, sweetie,” I said, forcing a smile. “How was school today?”Reese wriggled out of my arms and ran to the small table in the living room where a colorful painting was spread out. She picked it up carefully and turned back to me, her smile wide and proud.“Look what I made!” she said, holding up the painting for me to see.I took a moment to admire he
My Ex-Husband is Out of Control CHAPTER 155
Elijah’s POVThe rhythmic ticking of the clock on the wall seemed to match the steady hum of the air conditioning unit in the corner of the room. I leaned back on the plush, leather chair in the hospitality room, my eyes drifting over the stack of documents Connor had delivered earlier. This special section of the hospital was more like a high-end hotel than a medical facility, with its soft lighting, elegant furnishings, and the faint scent of lavender in the air. It was a testament to the power of connections and wealth, a privilege I’d rather not flaunt but often found necessary.Since I was no longer a patient in this hospital but I wanted to stay close to Julia so I could take care of her and assist in her recovery, I opted to stay in the hospitality wing for the time being. I tried to focus on the quarterly reports and merger proposals in front of me, but my thoughts kept wandering back to Julia. Her confession of love had taken me by surprise, and I couldn’t shake the image of
My Ex-Husband is Out of Control CHAPTER 156
Sophia’s POVI rushed through the hospital corridors, my heart pounding wildly. I whispered a little prayer of thanks to God that Reese hadn't ended up in the wrong hands. It was a parent's worst nightmare, the thought of losing sight of your child, even for a moment.I kept remembering how Reese had seemed so sad and disappointed when I’d told her that her dad wouldn’t be able to come. Perhaps I was wrong to assume that. I should have called Elijah and we could have avoided all this trouble. As I hurried to the hospitality wing of the hospital where Elijah had been staying recently, the surroundings began to change. It seemed like I’d been transported to a hotel. All this for Julia, I thought. He really used his connections to get a room here, and he’s sacrificing his business for her. Gosh, he must care about her that much!But then, I recalled their earlier conversation, the one that I’d overheard. Why did Elijah reject her when she confessed her love? Maybe he’s still confused
My Ex-Husband is Out of Control CHAPTER 157
Sophia’s POVFriday arrived faster than I expected. As I walked into the play school grounds, holding Reese's hand tightly in mine, I felt a blend of excitement and nervousness. Elijah was on Reese's other side, holding her hand too. It was surreal to see us like this, together, even if just for a moment. As we passed by a mirror in the hallway, I couldn't help but steal a glance at our reflection.We looked like a picture-perfect family—Reese, Elijah, and me. It touched something deep within me, stirring a bittersweet feeling. For a brief moment, it felt real, and that scared me. It wasn't reality. It was just a fleeting glimpse of what could have been.“Mommy, look! I drew this for you!” Reese exclaimed, pulling me out of my thoughts as she excitedly showed me her colorful drawing of our home that was displayed on a bulletin board.“It's beautiful, sweetheart,” I smiled, kneeling down to her level.Elijah stood beside us, smiling. “She's quite the artist, isn't she?” he remarked so
