#111 "This isn't the Time for Your Games."

The walls of Sophia's office seemed to close in as she stood in front of the panoramic window, gazing out over the cityscape below. The familiar skyline, usually a source of inspiration, now felt like a backdrop to the chaos unfolding within her professional world.Her fingers absentmindedly scrolled through the news on her phone, and the headline that greeted her sent shockwaves through her system. "Alexander and Megan Forge Unlikely Alliance – Business and Romance Collide."Sophia wondered why she kept watching the news about them as she absorbed the implications of the headline. She grew frustrated with herself for caring. Her phone buzzed with an incoming call. The screen displayed Benjamin's name."Benjamin, can you believe this mess?" Sophia exclaimed once she answered the call.Benjamin's deep chuckle came through the phone. "Sophia, my friend, it seems like we've got ourselves a wild twist in this plot. Alexander teaming up with Megan? That's a curveball."Sophia sighed, the w

#112 "Wait, You're Leaving?"

Sophia breezed into the villa, and the butler hurried over to snatch her coat. As she handed it to him, a sudden gasp escaped his lips. Sophia shot him an incredulous look, and he hurriedly averted his eyes, fixating on the floor."Whoops, my bad for the outburst. But seriously, your dress is stunning," he mumbled before briskly walking away.Sophia grinned. It's her go-to dress, a sleek black cocktail number, but the seamstress sprinkled a bit of magic on it. The dress hugged her curves just right, flaunting her sculpted figure.Megan and Alexander trailed in behind her. The moment Megan's eyes locked onto Sophia, a frown creased on her forehead. Alexander didn't react, but he lingered a tad longer with a contemplative gaze.Ignoring the brewing drama, Sophia pivoted to Caroline, who was there to greet them. Caroline pulled her into a warm hug."Hey, sweetie! You look absolutely gorgeous," Caroline chirped. "Come on in and make yourself at home.""I'm glad to see you," Sophia said, h

#113 "Better Half, Huh?"

As Sophia dropped the bombshell about heading to Boston for Benjamin's new venture, the surprise on Alexander's face was unmistakable, and he couldn't resist a sarcastic quip."Oh, I just didn't expect a high-profile lawyer like you to be handling such small tasks personally," he remarked, his tone dripping with thinly veiled mockery.Sophia, aware of the unnecessary personal involvement in the matter and the relatively modest scale of the new office, felt a twinge of self-awareness. Deep down, she knew that she had no reason to be hands-on with this venture. It was a small operation that could easily be managed without her direct intervention. So why did she choose to divulge this information?Alexander's sarcastic remark hung in the air, and Sophia responded with a casual shrug. "Why not, right? A change of pace, a different challenge. Keeps things interesting."Megan chimed in, "Boston sounds nice."Sophia shot Megan a brief, unreadable look. "Sometimes, you need to step out of the

#114 "Falling for His Games, Again?"

In the moonlit garden, Sophia leaned against the cool marble railing, a sigh escaping her lips. The night was serene, but the turmoil within her refused to mirror the tranquility of the surroundings. "Sophia, what are you doing? Falling for his games, again?" she muttered to herself, frustration lacing her voice. "He's playing the part, acting like he doesn't care, and I'm letting it get under my skin. It's infuriating!" A gentle breeze rustled the leaves as if nature itself was whispering words of solace. Sophia took a deep breath, trying to steady the storm of emotions raging within. "Why do I let him affect me like this?" she continued a hint of self-reproach in her tone. "He flirts with Megan, and I should just roll my eyes and move on. But no, here I am, tangled up in this emotional mess." Sophia's gaze drifted toward the distant glow of the villa. Laughter echoed faintly, a stark contrast to the internal conflict that threatened to consume her. "He's stubborn, deliberately t

#115 "Tomorrow We Start."

When Alexander was finally able to send Megan away, he breathed a sigh of relief. He decided it was high time to do some work and stop playing the role of the concerned husband. Determined to shift gears, he briskly made his way to his office. Ascending the staircase with purpose, Alexander closed the door behind him, shutting out the outside world. The faint click resonated in the room, signifying a transition from pretense to practicality. In the seclusion of his office, Alexander allowed himself a moment of respite. The restricting tie was casually loosened and carelessly discarded onto the polished surface of his desk. A tangible exhale escaped him as he liberated his neck from the sartorial constraint. With a swift motion, he reached for a crystal decanter, the amber liquid within whispering promises of solace. The rich aroma of aged whiskey filled the room as he poured a generous measure into a heavy-bottomed glass. Seated in a plush leather chair, Alexander cradled the glass

#116 "Dumb Womanizer."

Caroline fixed her gaze on Alexander, her eyes reflecting a mix of disappointment and maternal concern. The room, adorned with elegant furnishings, became the backdrop to a conversation heavy with unspoken emotions. "Alexander, we need to talk about this engagement. What's really going on?" Caroline's voice was firm yet laden with a mother's worry. Alexander met her eyes, a conflict playing out in his own. "Mother, it's complicated. Megan and I..." Caroline cut him off with a wave of her hand. "I don't need the intricacies. I need to understand why you've chosen this path. Megan is not the one for you, and you know it." Alexander sighed, feeling the weight of his mother's disapproval settling on his shoulders. "I have my reasons, mother. Sophia and I... it's complicated, too. But I have a plan." Caroline's eyes flashed with intensity. "Whatever, Alexander, you're making a mistake. Megan is not the woman you need by your side. Sophia is the one

#117 "Megan, You're Hanging by A Thread. "

In Sophia's office, the air hung heavy with tension as Megan entered, the usual veneer of friendliness vanishing in the absence of Alexander. The room, adorned with sleek furniture and bathed in the soft glow of ambient light, became the battleground for a clash of wills. Sophia, sitting behind her desk, glanced up from her work with an unflinching expression. Her calm demeanor, a façade concealing the storm of emotions beneath, contrasted sharply with the subtle hum of the city filtering through the partially opened window. Megan, with a sly smile, wasted no time dropping her pretense of friendliness. "Sophia, let's cut the act, shall we? You and I both know you're just a pawn in Alexander's game. Don't think for a second you can interfere in our relationship." Sophia leaned back in her chair, unfazed. "Megan, I'm not interested in your relationship with Alexander. If you're here to warn me, save your breath. I won't be manipulated." Megan, growing i

#118 "Everyone's Acting Weird, huh?"

Sophia's fingers practically flew as she shoved clothes into her suitcase, fueled by the anticipation of escaping town and leaving the Alexander drama behind. Without finishing her morning coffee, she hailed a taxi to the airport, grabbed her suitcase, and locked the door to her apartment.In the taxi, she quickly tapped out a message to Evelyn, "I'm on my way to the airport. I know it's earlier than we agreed, but I couldn't wait."Evelyn's response came swiftly, "I'm already walking in the duty-free shops. You're not the only one impatient."Sophia chuckled and stashed her phone back in her bag, relishing the excitement of traveling with her friend after what felt like ages.Both of their lives were very busy and they rarely saw each other, and that was why Sophia was so grateful for this opportunity to spend time together again.At the airport, after breezing through security, Sophia headed to the cosmetics store, a hunch telling her she'd find

#119 "Megan's Eating It Up, Hook, Line, and Sinker."

In the swanky conference room at Enlighten Press Alexander, Kyle, and Megan gathered around the polished table, notebooks, and documents scattered everywhere. Leland, Megan's father, sat at the head of the table, eyeing the trio with a scrutinizing gaze.Megan, eager to kick off the meeting, flashed a confident smile and started explaining her grand plan of collaborating with Stone Enterprise. She went on about synergies, and market expansion that made some board members nod in agreement, while others exchanged skeptical glances.Leland, with his bushy eyebrows knitted, interrupted, "Hold on a minute, Megan. Are you sure this collaboration is the right move? Stone Enterprise has its own set of controversies. We don't want to get tangled up in some corporate mess."Megan bit her lip, momentarily taken aback by her father's skepticism. It was clear that this wasn't the smooth ride she expected.Alexander leaned back in his chair and chimed in, "Mr. Leland,

#120 "Besides, She Played the Sophia Card."

At this point, Kyle's smile fades."How did you…Alright, spill it, Alexander. How the hell did you know about me and Evelyn?" Kyle's eyes narrowed with suspicion.Alexander, leaning back in his chair, gave a nonchalant shrug. "Oh, you know, secrets have a way of floating around. Evelyn approached me recently, and had some questions about you.""About me? What kind of questions?" Kyle asked angrily.Alexander smirked. "The usual stuff. She wanted to dig into your mysterious side and find out what makes Kyle tick. I figured, why not help a friend?"Kyle's surprise was evident. "Evelyn approached you for info about me? Since when are you two buddy-buddy?"Alexander chuckled, taking a sip of his drink. "Buddy-buddy might be a stretch, but we're not exactly enemies. Besides, she played the Sophia card.""The Sophia card?" Kyle raised an eyebrow. "What does that even mean?"Alexander leaned in, his voice lowered. "She told me
