Oh, Attorney, Save Me from My Husband! Chapter 22
Sofia's POV I stood at the front of the grand Romano University boardroom, my fingers steady on the remote as I clicked to the next slide of my presentation. A month ago, I wouldn’t have imagined myself here—standing before the most powerful figures in the institution, proving that I belonged. "As you can see," I began, my voice steady and clear, "by cutting unnecessary expenditures and reallocating funds strategically, we’ve managed to reduce operational costs by fifteen percent. These savings have been redirected to the new building project, ensuring that we move forward without exceeding the allocated budget." I glanced around the room, gauging their reactions. Some of the board members leaned forward, their faces lit with interest. A few exchanged impressed looks. That was a good sign. "Fifteen percent?" one of them repeated, sounding almost surprised. "That’s an impressive cut in just a month." "I have to admit," another added, "I was skeptical when you proposed this p

Sofia's POVThe city lights flickered in the distance, their glow stretching toward the sky like tiny, desperate wishes. I wrapped my arms around myself, inhaling the cold night air as I stood on the university’s rooftop. The silence here was different—not empty, but heavy, thick with the weight of everything I couldn’t say.Footsteps echoed behind me, steady and unhurried. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was."You always run to the highest places when you need to breathe."Dominic’s voice was low, edged with something I couldn’t name.I sighed. "Maybe up here, it feels like I can escape."He stepped beside me, close enough that I could feel the warmth radiating from him. He wasn’t touching me, but he didn’t have to—his presence alone had a way of unraveling me."You shouldn’t have to escape," he murmured.I swallowed hard, my fingers tightening around the balcony’s cold railing. "It’s not that simple.""It could be," Dominic countered, turning to face me. "If you let it."

Sofia's POVThe shrill ringing of my phone pierced the early morning silence, dragging me from the depths of sleep. I groggily reached out, squinting at the screen. Unknown Number. A knot tightened in my stomach, but I answered anyway."Hello?" My voice was thick with sleep."Mrs. Romano?" A man's voice—low, cautious.I sat up, suddenly alert. "Yes, this is she."There was a pause, heavy and foreboding. I could hear my own heartbeat echoing in my ears."I’m calling from Air France. Your parents… Mr. and Mrs. Moretti… They were on Flight 477 bound for Paris this morning."My heart clenched. Flight 477. Paris. Mom and Dad. My mind raced, connecting the dots, but my mouth struggled to form words."What… What about them?" I whispered.Another pause. Then—"We regret to inform you that the flight suffered a fatal crash over the Atlantic. There were no survivors."The world tilted. The bed beneath me felt like it was dissolving into nothingness."Mrs. Romano?" The voice on the other end fel

Sofia’s POVI took a deep breath as I stepped out of the elevator and into the office lobby. It had been two weeks since I'd last set foot in here, and everything felt different now. The bright lights, the hum of conversation, the smell of freshly brewed coffee – it all seemed to hit me like a ton of bricks.I'd finally accepted that my parents' bodies might never be recovered, and it was time for me to start moving forward. Returning to work was the first step, no matter how daunting it seemed.As I made my way to my office, I noticed a commotion outside Dominic's office. I slowed down, curiosity getting the better of me.That's when I saw him – Dominic, standing outside his office door, laughing and chatting with a woman who always visits him before. She was beautiful. They were standing close together, their bodies angled towards each other, and I could sense the chemistry between them.I felt a pang in my chest, but I quickly pushed it aside. I hadn't seen Dominic in weeks, not si

Sofia’s POVThe hum of fluorescent lights overhead was the only sound in the office, aside from the clicking of keyboards and the distant murmur of colleagues in the hallway. I sat at my desk, eyes glued to the screen, pretending to focus on the reports in front of me.But then the door to my office swung open, and I didn’t need to look up to know who it was. Dominic’s presence was undeniable—like an electric current filling the room. I felt the tension in the air before his voice broke the silence."We need to talk," he said, his tone firm but not angry. His usual calm was replaced with something more urgent, something I couldn’t ignore.I looked up finally, meeting his gaze, but only briefly. The weight of his eyes on me felt suffocating, and I quickly turned back to my screen, pretending to shuffle through some papers."Dominic, I’m busy," I muttered, hoping he would just leave me to my work.He didn’t move. "Busy? Or avoiding me?"I froze, my heart skipping a beat. The words stung

Dominic’s POVI ran a hand over my face as I walked toward the parking lot, exhaustion settling deep in my bones. Another long day. Another night of wanting nothing more than to go home and shut out the world for a few hours. As I stepped into the open parking area, Sofia’s car pulled out of her assigned spot. I slowed my pace, my gaze following her as she drove toward the exit. For some reason, I watched her longer than I should have, eyes lingering on the taillights as they disappeared onto the road. Then, something felt off. A strange unease crawled up my spine. I wasn’t sure why—until my gaze dropped to the ground where her car had been parked. A dark stain glistened under the dim lights. Frowning, I stepped closer, crouching down to inspect it. I brushed my fingers across the surface, rubbing the liquid between my thumb and forefinger. Thin. Slick. Greasy. Not oil. Brake fluid. My chest tightened. My gaze swept over the ground, looking for anything else out of place

Sofia’s POV A dull, pounding ache throbbed at the back of my head as I drifted back to consciousness. My body felt strange—heavy, tense, like I had been asleep for too long. Then, like a dam breaking, the memories came crashing in. The accident. The screeching tires. The sharp turn. The impact that sent my car on the other side of the street. Five years ago. I gasped, my eyes flying open as the past slammed into me. I had been in a car accident. I lost my memories. And when I woke up from it… I was already married to Gabriel Romano. My breathing quickened. That marriage. I never consented to it. My fingers dug into the sheets as I forced myself to sit up, my heart racing with every revelation unraveling in my mind. The past I had forgotten, the life I had been forced into, the man I was told was my husband. Gabriel. I remembered him now. His control. His temper. The way he had claimed me as his wife when I had no recollection of ever saying ‘yes.’ I felt sick. A movement i

Sofia’s POVThe air smelled like gasoline and burnt metal. From a distance, I could see the faint glow of flames licking at the wreckage—the car that was supposed to be mine.I watched in silence, my hands clenched at my sides. My body was here, hidden in the shadows, but my name was inside that burning car, disappearing into smoke.Dominic stood beside me, his presence steady, grounding. “It’s done,” he murmured.I didn’t respond. How was I supposed to feel? Relieved? Terrified? Free?The police would arrive soon. They’d find the body, charred beyond recognition. The news would spread. Gabriel would hear it. He’d believe I was dead.My heart pounded. I had spent years feeling trapped, suffocated in a marriage I never wanted. Now I was finally free—but it didn’t feel real yet. It felt like I was watching someone else’s life burn away.“We should go,” Dominic said.I turned away from the fire, my eyes stinging. Whether it was from the smoke or something deeper, I didn’t know.“Where?”

Dominic's POVThe mechanic was already outside, talking to Marielli. I didn’t bother stepping out—I could guess what he was going to say. Her car wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe not even tomorrow.I stayed in the kitchen, leaning against the doorway, arms crossed, watching her stir sugar into her coffee like it was some kind of art. She always moved like she had a plan—even when she pretended not to.“It’s going to take a while,” she said, almost too casually. “You don’t mind if I hang around, do you?”I shrugged. “It’s your call.”She sipped her coffee, that mischievous glint flashing in her eyes. “Let’s go to the beach.”I frowned. “The beach?”“You, me, and Sofia,” she said, like it was the most natural thing in the world. “She needs fresh air. And you, Dominic, need to stop brooding before your face stays that way.”I didn’t respond right away. The idea sounded good—too good. That’s what worried me.“Marielli… We’re hiding her. If someone sees us—if he finds out…”She se
Oh, Attorney, Save Me from My Husband! Chapter 39
Dominic’s POV Marielli visited me here at the mansion and spent the whole day helping me with Sofia’s case. She couldn’t go home because her car broke down, and it was too late to call a mechanic, so we decided she would just spend the night here. But instead of resting, she invited me to have a few beers. Now we’re outside, sitting on the wooden bench, drinking while staring up at the stars. “You really don’t sleep anymore, do you?” she asked, looking at me over the rim of her bottle. I smirked. “I’ll sleep when this case is over… or when I drop dead, whichever comes first.” She rolled her eyes, smiling. “I thought lawyers were dramatic in court, not in real life.” We both laughed, and then she tilted her head toward the sky. “Do you ever wonder what you’d be doing if none of this happened? If life didn’t pull you into… all this?” I took a moment before answering. “Maybe I’d be fixing motorcycles somewhere quiet. Somewhere no one knows my name.” She raised an eyebrow.
Oh, Attorney, Save Me from My Husband! Chapter 38
Sofia’s POV The late afternoon light cast a golden hue over the estate as I stood by the window, absently tracing patterns on the glass. Outside, Dominic stood near the driveway, his stance firm yet composed, as if waiting for something—or someone. Then she arrived. Marielli. The moment she stepped out of the sleek black car, a shiver ran down my spine. It wasn’t just recognition; it was memory. She wasn’t just any visitor. She was the visitor. The woman who always came to see Dominic while he worked at Romano University. The same woman who had been by his side all those years ago, back in college, when I used to see them together—laughing, talking, always impossibly close. I hadn’t remembered her before, but now, with my memories piecing themselves back together, it all came rushing back. She was always there. I watched as Dominic greeted her, his expression unreadable, yet there was an ease in the way he spoke to her, a familiarity that settled deep in my chest like
Oh, Attorney, Save Me from My Husband! Chapter 37
Sofia’s POV Since this morning, I hadn’t been able to talk to Dominic. Now that it was already afternoon, I realized I hadn’t even caught a glimpse of him. He had been locked away in the study the entire time, completely consumed by his work. I thought about checking on him, even just for a moment, but the door remained shut. Martha told me he was always like this whenever he was focused on something—distant, unreachable. Instead of dwelling on it, I decided to go to the farm and ride a horse for a while. A quiet ride through the fields seemed like the perfect way to clear my mind. When I started feeling hungry, I decided to head back to the mansion. Maybe Dominic was done with his work, and we could finally eat together. As I stepped inside, I found him in the living room, watching the news. The moment he noticed me, he grabbed the remote and turned off the TV. “Where have you been?” he asked, his eyes scanning me as if checking if I had gone somewhere I shouldn’t have.
Oh, Attorney, Save Me from My Husband! Chapter 36
Sofia’s POV Dominic’s voice softened, but the steel beneath it remained. “Sofia, this isn’t just about nullifying your marriage anymore. This is about justice.” I met his gaze, and for the first time in years, I felt something other than fear. I felt rage. And I wanted the truth. Dominic leaned back, his expression grim. “That night at Romano University… I saw something that didn’t sit right with me.” A cold dread coiled in my stomach. “What did you see?” He exhaled slowly, as if weighing every word. “Brake fluid. A small puddle near where your car was parked. At first, I thought it was just an oil leak from another vehicle, but then I noticed something else—a piece of tubing, cut cleanly, lying nearby.” Silence stretched between us, thick and suffocating. I clenched my hands together, my mind racing. “You think my brakes were tampered with?” Dominic’s jaw tightened. “It’s too much of a coincidence. Someone wanted you dead that night. If I had gotten to you a few m
Oh, Attorney, Save Me from My Husband! Chapter 35
Sofia’s POV The quiet hum of the study wrapped around us like a heavy blanket, thick with the weight of unspoken truths. Bookshelves lined the walls, filled with neatly arranged law books—Dominic’s world, his sanctuary. But right now, it felt like an interrogation room. And I was finally ready to confess. “You asked me to tell you everything,” I murmured, my fingers gripping the armrest of the chair. Dominic nodded, his dark eyes fixed on me. “No more secrets, Sofia.” I exhaled slowly. “It happened five years ago. The day I lost everything.” He leaned forward slightly, silent but demanding, waiting for me to continue. “I was supposed to meet someone that day,” I started, my voice barely above a whisper. “I had just finished cheer practice, and I was running late. I rushed through everything—my shower, my drive—because I didn’t want to miss that meeting.” I swallowed, gripping my hands together to keep them from trembling. “And then… everything went wrong.” The memory pla
Oh, Attorney, Save Me from My Husband! Chapter 34
Dominic’s POV The scent of something warm and rich filled the air the moment I stepped into the mansion. It wasn’t the usual gourmet meals the chefs prepared—this was different. Heartier. Almost comforting. I hadn’t expected this. After spending days in Manila, taking care of everything for our plan, I was exhausted. I had officially resigned from Romano University, cutting my last tie to that place. There was nothing left for me there, and honestly, I felt relieved. Now, all I wanted was a shower and maybe some sleep. But instead, I found myself following the scent down the hallway. And that’s when I saw her. Sofia. She stood at the counter, her sleeves rolled up, an apron tied around her waist. Steam rose from a pot on the stove, and beside her, Martha was kneading dough. A wooden board filled with chopped potatoes, cabbage, and beans sat nearby. For a moment, I just watched. She looked… different. There was a lightness in her expression, something I hadn’t seen in
Oh, Attorney, Save Me from My Husband! Chapter 33
Sofia’s POV The Montague mansion was unlike anything I had ever seen—elegant, vast, and steeped in quiet authority. Every inch of it screamed wealth and power, from the grand chandeliers casting golden light over polished marble floors to the intricate carvings on the mahogany walls. It was the kind of place designed to impress and intimidate at the same time. With Dominic gone, I had nothing to do but wander. My footsteps echoed softly as I moved through the endless hallways, my fingers grazing the smooth wood of the banisters and the cold stone pillars that lined the corridors. The scent of aged books and fresh flowers mixed in the air, giving the place an odd contrast—timeless yet alive. I passed by rooms with tall windows draped in velvet curtains, libraries filled with leather-bound books, and parlors decorated with antique furniture that looked like they belonged in a museum. Every detail was carefully curated, every piece undoubtedly expensive. This wasn’t just a house—it
Oh, Attorney, Save Me from My Husband! Chapter 32
Gabriel’s POVI stared at the DNA results in my hands, the paper crumpling beneath my tightening grip. The letters blurred before me, but I didn’t need to read them again. I already knew what they said.Sofia was gone.A hollow laugh escaped my lips. This wasn’t real. It couldn’t be. This was Sofia. She was stubborn, reckless—she wouldn’t just die like that.But the proof was right in front of me. A cold, unchangeable fact.My chest ached, but it wasn’t just grief—it was something deeper, something I refused to acknowledge before. Guilt.I was never the husband she needed. Never the man she deserved. I stole her dreams and crushed them beneath the weight of my own expectations. I silenced her protests, dismissed her pain, convinced myself that I knew what was best for her—even when she was begging me to listen.And now, there is only silence.I see it all now, as if every memory has sharpened in her absence. The way her smile faded, piece by piece, like a painting losing its color. Th
