2025-03-02 05:57:30Sofia's POV
It’s 5 PM, and cheerleading practice has just ended. A wave of nervousness washes over me as I realize how little time I have before my 6 PM meeting with Dominic. I can feel the excitement building inside me, but the pressure of possibly being late makes it hard to focus. I rush to the shower, scrubbing away the sweat of practice as quickly as I can, the sound of water almost drowned out by my thoughts of him. The rush of adrenaline, the thrill of being near him again, fills my every sense, but the minutes are slipping away too fast. After getting dressed in a hurry, I jump into my car, my heart racing—not just with anticipation, but with the constant fear of running late. The road stretches out before me, endless and unfamiliar, but I can’t help but smile at the thought of being with him. I’m almost there.
And yet, in the blink of an eye, everything shifts. As I’m driving, my heart pounding in rhythm with the beating of my thoughts, a sudden jolt shakes me from my daydreams. My back bumper slams into something, sending a shockwave of panic through my body. Before I can even register what’s happened, the car lurches, veering wildly, as if it has a life of its own. My hands grip the steering wheel, trying desperately to regain control, but it’s too late. The car crashes—hurtling me toward the other side of the road. I barely have time to react before the impact with the post comes, violently shaking the entire vehicle. My breath catches in my throat, and the excitement of seeing Dominic is replaced by a suffocating wave of dread.
The impact is so forceful that everything goes black. One moment, I’m racing toward him, full of hope, and the next, the world is consumed by silence. The spinning, the screeching tires, the sudden force of the crash—all of it blurs into a haze of confusion. I lose consciousness as the darkness wraps around me, pulling me under.
I wake up to an unfamiliar stillness, a throbbing pain radiating through every inch of my body. The sterile, clinical smell of antiseptic fills the air, sharp and unpleasant. My eyes flutter open, and I find myself in a white, cold room. The brightness of the lights above stings my senses, making everything feel more distant, more unreal. It’s hard to focus, my thoughts thick and clouded, as though I’ve been adrift for far too long. For a moment, I don’t even know where I am. The room is bare, almost too clean—too perfect.
"Good thing you're awake, Sofia," a voice says, smooth but familiar. The sound makes my chest tighten with unease, and I slowly turn my head to see a man sitting beside my bed. His face is warm, his smile meant to reassure, but something about it doesn’t sit right. There’s a heaviness in his gaze, something I can’t place.
I blink, struggling to focus. "Wh-who are you?" My voice is hoarse, barely more than a whisper. I try to meet his eyes, but nothing about him feels familiar. The pain is all-consuming, a constant reminder that something is terribly wrong, but my mind refuses to grasp anything beyond that.
His smile falters, and a flicker of concern shadows his features. "I’m your husband, Sofia. Gabriel." His voice softens, the words hesitating before they leave his lips. "You don’t remember me?"
Husband? The word feels foreign, like it belongs to someone else’s life. Married? How could I be married? I search his face, my mind scrambling to form any connection, any recognition—but it’s all empty. I don’t know him. I don’t know me. My thoughts spiral, questions swirling faster than I can catch them. Why can’t I remember?
He holds my gaze, as if willing me to understand, but I see nothing that makes sense. His presence should be comforting, but instead, it feels like a puzzle I can’t solve, a life I can’t reach.
"I-I don’t understand," I stammer, my voice trembling, barely above a whisper. "What happened to me? Why am I here?"
Gabriel’s expression softens, his eyes dark with something I can’t quite name. His hand gently takes mine, his touch warm, but it doesn’t calm me. "You’ve been in an accident, Sofia. You’ve been unconscious for a while. But you’re safe now." He smiles again, but it doesn’t quite reach his eyes—there’s something off in the way he looks at me. The tenderness in his voice feels like a layer over something darker, something I can’t quite place.
An accident? The word seems too distant, too impersonal. I can’t bring myself to connect it to my reality, to my broken body. I try to recall anything, a single piece of the puzzle, but my mind is a blank. What happened to me? What happened to my life?
"I... I don’t remember anything," I whisper, panic rising in my chest, tightening around my ribs. "I don’t even remember you."
For a brief moment, Gabriel’s expression hardens, his eyes flickering with something I can’t read. Then, just as quickly, he masks it with a calm smile. He leans closer, his voice low and soothing. "It’s okay, Sofia. We’ll take it slow. You don’t have to remember everything at once. Just know that I’m here, and I’ll be here for you, no matter what."
But even as he speaks those words, a feeling of dread settles into the pit of my stomach. Something isn’t right. How could I forget everything? How could I forget him? The questions pile up, each one more pressing than the last, but none of them can find their answers.

Sofia's POV5 Years laterI lose myself in the rhythm of the music, every beat syncing with the pulse of my body as I dance in front of the mirror in my studio. The camera is rolling, capturing every movement, every expression, as I create content for my social media. It’s more than just a routine; it’s a way to share a piece of myself, even if the world out there doesn’t know the whole story. After five years of living with the void of forgotten memories, dancing is the one thing that keeps me anchored. It’s the only thing that has consistently felt like mine, the only thing that makes sense.I can’t remember my past. One day, I woke up in a hospital bed, my mind a blur, and the face of my husband was the first thing I saw. Everything changed after that accident—everything I knew, everything I was, disappeared.

Sofia's POVMy body aches so much that I can barely stand due to the injuries I sustained from Gab last night. I'm here in our room, and the doctor he called to observe my condition just left. I was lying weakly on our bed when he came out of the bathroom after showering. He showed no expression when he saw me awake, only heading to his closet to pick something to wear for the office.I remained silent, staring at the ceiling, until he finished getting dressed and was ready to leave. He pulled several thousand pesos from his wallet and placed it on the bed."Get some rest, and if you need anything or want to buy something, use the money," The words feel hollow, like an afterthought, as if he’s already forgotten the chaos of last night. As if the pain I’m in doesn’t matter. Without waiting for a response, without even glancing at me again, he turns and leaves, the door clicking shut behind him, leaving me alone in the deafening silence of the room.As soon as the door clicked shut behin

Dominic's POVToday marks my contract signing with Romano University, a place that holds a special meaning for me. I was once a scholar here, studying Political Science, and it’s hard to believe that it’s been five years since I left Manila. A lot has changed since then.After discovering my real father, he took me from the orphanage where I had been living, and from there, my life took a new direction. I moved to Bataan to continue my Law School journey, and last year, I was fortunate enough to be ranked 8th in the bar exam. Though I’ve only been practicing law for less than a year, I’ve already had the privilege of winning multiple cases, including corporate, land, and annulment cases.Romano University has offered me a role in their legal department, as well as a position as faculty in the Law School. The offer is competitive, but truthfully, the reason I accepted isn’t just for the opportunity it presents—it’s also a chance to return to Manila. I’ve been practicing law privately,

Sofia's POVToday, Gabriel advised me to visit the legal department at Romano University. He had already spoken to his father, and my contract was ready to be signed. I arrived in the morning, feeling a quiet sense of purpose as I entered the office."Hi, I’m here to sign my contract," I said to the clerk, who greeted me with a smile. She seemed to be expecting me, which made the process feel a little smoother."Alright, Miss Sofia. Please have a seat while I get your contract," she said, stepping away to retrieve the documents.I sat down, and as I glanced over, I noticed a man sitting nearby with a contract in his hands. He was looking at me, and for some reason, I felt a strange sense of familiarity, like I had seen him somewhere before, but I couldn’t quite place it. I offered him a brief smile, unsure if I should say something, but I chose to sit next to him.A few minutes later, the clerk returned, handing me the contract. I signed the papers quickly, not bothering to scrutinize

Sofia's POV"Hi, Mrs. Romano!" I was startled when he caught me staring at him. I froze, unsure of what excuse to make."S-sorry, I was just amazed watching you eat while reading your book," I stammered, offering an awkward smile."It's okay," he said, chuckling lightly. "Would you mind if I join you?"I simply nodded, feeling a little flustered. He grabbed his tray of food and book, then walked over to my table and sat down across from me. As he settled in, I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. We had only met earlier that morning during the contract signing, and now here he was, sitting across from me in the cafeteria. He was a law school professor, and I was the Vice President of Administration—two very different roles, yet here we were, sharing a lunch.After a brief silence, he took a bite of his food and glanced up at me. "I didn’t expect to see you here," he said, his tone casual and easygoing. "How’s your day been so far?"I felt relieved that he was starting the conversa

Sofia's POV"Where did you put the funds?" Hector, Gabriel’s father, nearly had a vein pop in anger as he tried to get Gabriel to confess where the missing money had gone, which was meant for the expansion of the Main Campus of Romano University. We were in the hotel room of Daddy Hector, where Gabriel's birthday party was being held. This was supposed to be the night when he would hand over the company to him.But the tension hanging in the air was thick with something far more dangerous."Are you just going to sit there and say nothing?" Hector’s voice was low, but his anger was palpable, vibrating through the room. He was seething, and I could feel the intensity of his gaze burning through Gabriel. My own breath caught in my chest as I watched the scene unfold.Gabriel remained silent, his eyes never meeting his father’s. The silence in the room stretched unbearably long before Mom Sylvia stepped in, her voice steady but laced with anxiety."Hector, stop," she said, her hand gently

Dominic's POVThe legal department was invited to attend the birthday party of Gabriel Romano, the Romano Heir—a person I can’t stand. One of the perks of working in the legal field, or being part of the legal department, is the sense of importance we’re given, often being invited to events even when it’s not necessary. Our Legal Chief Officer strongly encouraged me to attend, suggesting it would be a good opportunity to mingle with colleagues since I’m new. He also mentioned that we’d meet attractive lawyers from different branches of Romano University, but honestly, that’s not something I’m particularly interested in."Montague, you're here!" I turned around at the familiar, sharp voice calling my name while adjusting my suit. To my surprise, it was Marielli, my college buddy. I hadn’t expected to see her, and I couldn’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia wash over me."Melendez!" I said, surprised, a smile tugging at the corners of my mouth.I greeted her with a warm hug and a kiss o

The project had to be completed within two years, and the responsibility of overseeing the construction and everything that came with it had been delegated to me. The weight of it all felt overwhelming.I let out a quiet sigh as I pushed open the door of the meeting room, stepping out into the hallway.As soon as I did, I spotted Mr. Montague, dressed in his usual suit, a thick book in hand, walking toward me."Mr. Montague," I called out as he almost walked past me.It had been a few days since Gabriel's party, and I’d been wanting to talk to him. This was the first time I had seen him since that night. I supposed he had been busy."Yes, Mrs. Romano?" he asked, his expression unreadable."Can we talk?" I asked."Sure," he replied, still expressionless.We headed to the university rooftop for privacy.Be

Sofia's POVMarielli was already packing up her things when we got back to the mansion.The salty breeze still clung to my hair, and my skin was warm from the sun, but there was a quietness in my chest that hadn't been there at the beach. Maybe it was guilt. Maybe it was just... me realizing things a little too late.Her car sat gleaming in the driveway, freshly fixed. No more stranded days. No more unplanned bonding. She was leaving, just like that.I stood there watching her tuck a bag into the back seat, moving so easily, like everything in the world was exactly where it was supposed to be. She looked up and caught me staring.“Hey,” she said, smiling. “You survived the beach trip.”I walked closer, feeling every step like I was walking into something I couldn't name. “Barely,” I joked, then paused. “Hey, um… can we talk?”She raised a brow. “Sounds serious.”I shrugged, feeling awkward. “Kind of is.”Marielli leaned back against the car, folding her arms like she had all the time
Oh, Attorney, Save Me from My Husband! Chapter 41
Sofia POV The wind smelled like salt and something else I couldn’t quite name—freedom, maybe. It had been Marielli’s idea. A beach trip. Out of nowhere, like she had a sixth sense for tension and wanted to dissolve it with sunlight and ocean breeze. I had expected Dominic to shut it down immediately. But to my surprise, he hesitated—and then said yes. I watched them talk in the kitchen that morning, their voices soft but familiar. Too familiar. Something in me recoiled. I tried not to show it, tried to be polite. Detached. But it was impossible to ignore the way she looked at him, or how he didn’t pull away. I didn’t belong here. That thought lingered as I stood by the car, waiting to climb into the backseat like some intern tagging along on her boss’s road trip. “Uh-uh.” Marielli moved quickly, stepping in between us. “What do you think you’re doing?” I blinked, confused. “I was going to sit in the back.” Marielli shook her head dramatically. “Backseat? Girl, no. You ar

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

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
