“What do you mean the dress is going to be late?” she asked, “No, you listen to me. You're not listening to me. I can have your whole store closed before the end of the day.”Sophia placed her fingers on the bridge of her nose as Harriet kept screaming into the phone.She was fed up. Sophia took the phone from Harriet's hand. "I need to confirm that my dress will be delivered on time. Today, as promised."The voice on the other end was chipper and very dismissive, replied, "Oh, absolutely! We're just putting the finishing touches on it. We'll deliver it personally."Sophia's grip on the phone tightened. "Personally? No, that's not what we agreed upon. I want it delivered to the venue, not hand-delivered by your team.""Ma'am, I assure you, it's our policy—"“Put it on speaker phone,” Harriet whispered. “We're sorry for the inconvenience--”Harriet cut them off.

"Now it's time to pick the dresses."Tanya nodded, flipping through a catalog. "I think we should go with a classic, elegant look. You know, something that will never go out of style, but still reflects your personal taste, Sophia.""Was that a compliment I just heard?" Sophia blushed. “You have good taste. Plus you're my future sister-in-law. We've been through a lot. I'm really happy that you forgave me for everything I did to you. It takes a big person to do that.”Sophia brought her handkerchief to the corner of her eye, "I'm in tears." She sniffled. “We're besties Tanya, we're good now.”"I like this one. The lace details are stunning." Sophia changed the subject quickly as she pointed to a picture in the
The sun shone brightly as the Milton family arrived at the beach. The sound of waves crashing against the shore filled the air, and the smell of saltwater and coconut sunscreen wafted through the breeze.Sophia laughed, chasing after her twins and Jack as they ran around the beach while she tried to apply sunscreen on them."Addison, Aiden, Jack!

Sophia stirred beside him, her eyes fluttering open."Morning," Noah whispered, smiling.Sophia smiled back, her eyes still sleepy.Noah grabbed his phone and dialed Detective James's number. That was the detective assigned to he and Sophia's case. "Good morning, Detective. Any updates on Jeffery?" Noah asked.Detective James's voice was firm. "Nothing new, Noah. We're monitoring all leads."Noah's grip on the phone tightened. He wouldn't rest until Jeffery was caught. "Thanks, Detective. Keep me posted."At this point Sophia was over it.

Her husband wanted a divorce from her, after two years of marriage. Even if the marriage was based on a contract, it was still a marriage. Noah Milton paced the floor of what was supposed to be he and Sophia’s bedroom, a place she never dared to enter, except on special occasions.
