Chapter 63: He's Back
Lucas’ car pulled up to Sophia's sleek and modern condo. The one she moved into after filing for a divorce. The one she was forced to move into when Alexander wouldn’t let her breathe without trying to control her. "You're home safe," Lucas said, smiling warmly as he placed the car into park.Sophia smiled back, her relief palpable, and stepped out onto the sidewalk. Lucas got down from the car and decided to walk her to the entrance.As they strolled towards the entrance, Lucas asked, "I hope I have been forgiven?" He said with a warm smile, wanting to put all their problems behind them. Sophia's eyes sparkled playfully. "I'll definitely have to think about it," she replied, her voice laced with cockiness and they both laughed."Good night, Mrs. Verga," Lucas said as soon as they got to the entrance of her home, his eyes glinting under the house light. “Want to come in for a bit?” Sophia asked.“It’s quite late, I had better get going,” he replied, shaking his head and knowing bet
Chapter 62: An Apology Dinner
'Sophia?' Lucas repeated, his voice rising to confirm Sophia hadn't mistaken it then.Sophia turned around immediately, and her eyes widened in surprise. Blinding lights gave way to a stunning view. The warm arrangement of. A beautifully set dinner table sat before her, complete with fine china and candles. The whole place was adorned with fairy lights and looked like a scene straight out of a romance movie, but Sophia didn’t let her guard down. After all, the man was most likely involved in her recent kidnapping. Sophia wondered why Lucas put in so much effort after specifically telling her he wanted nothing to do with her as long as her marriage was still in the picture. Her initial fear and surprise were slowly turning into irritation.Lucas sat behind the table, his eyes locked onto Sophia's. His smile lit up the space, and his gaze drew her in."Sophia," he said, his voice low and inviting. "Join me.” Sophia stormed up to the table, her anger boiling over. "What the hell?" she
Chapter 61: Kidnapped
Lucas sighed for the umpteenth time later that day and frowned, his eyes scanning his phone waiting for a text back from the woman he had angered. Sophia. Ever since their little blow-back at the conference room, she had gone radio silent and hadn’t contacted him. Plus, Lucas couldn’t let go on how harsh he was to her. Granted, she was married and even though her words about being estranged from Alexander were true, the divorce papers were yet to be signed and in his mind, his hands were tied. There was nothing he could do. But, he knew that he had to apologize. At least to get the bad tension between them out of the way.Now, that was another problem in itself, because Lucas had texted Sophia non-stop throughout the day with no reply back. She had been so reserved that Lucas wasn’t even sure if she was actively ignoring him, or she had blocked him the first chance she got. Still, he wanted to make an effort. Hell, he would be working closely with her. He didn’t need any work drama.
Chapter 60: The Meeting
After hearing those words from Collins, Lucas avoided Sophia for the rest of the week and Sophia did the same. There were no calls, no texts, or any other communication that went beyond formal business interactions which took place on the grounds of the company building. Occasionally, they saw each other around the office, but they simply walked past each other, exchanging nothing more than a casual nod or, if the need arose, a conversation with other employees of the company.That particular day, Lucas walked into the office, knowing it was the day Sophia would brief him alongside other members of the board concerning the progress she'd made since their partnership. It had almost been two weeks and the board was itching to know what progress she had made so far, especially with the way she bragged it would work out. Obviously, it was far too early to know how much headway she had made, but the board was ferocious to see if Lucas had made the right choice with Sophia.While the board
Chapter 59: A Threatening Identity
Another text message from Sophia appeared on Lucas' phone."Why are you ignoring me?" the message read, the question hanging in the air.Lucas didn't flinch, his gaze remaining steadily fixed on the documents spread out before him as he returned the phone to the table. He didn’t want to engage with this woman, especially after her husband had barged into his home. He had no desire to input himself in their marital trouble. In less than five minutes, the door to Lucas’ office barged open with Sophia walking into the office. She walked into his office, her footsteps firm and loud like she was on her way to a fight. Her face was a picture of displeasure, a deep frown etched across her features.Lucas raised an eyebrow, wondering why Helena hadn't sought his permission before letting Sophia in, something she had always done, but he was sure that it was because he had sent her on that errand earlier.Sophia closed the door firmly behind her, the sound echoing through the room just as Luca
Chapter 58: Curiosity
Lucas' eyes narrowed, his tone laced with curiosity and a hint of confusion as he inquired,"Mr. Alexander, what brings you to my house and at such a late hour in the evening? And more importantly, how did you get in?"Alexander's smile seemed genuine, but Lucas noticed a bit of hostility beneath the surface. How did this man get through the gates to begin with? Was his security really getting lax? He would have to speak to the men at the gate later on.Lucas gestured for him to take a seat, still shocked at the news."There's absolutely nothing to worry about, Mr Graham," Alexander said, his voice smooth and measured. "I simply wanted to meet the person my wife is working closely with, nothing more." He said, his eyes watching Lucas intently.Lucas' expression faltered, confusion etched on his face as he struggled to process the unexpected revelation. Never had he imagined Sophia was married; the thought had never crossed his mind.He thought back to their meetings, conversations, an
