After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#193 “It’s A Proposal She’ll Never Forget.”

As they arrived back home, the bustling streets of the city seemed to fade away, replaced by the quiet familiarity of her apartment building. Sophia led the way, her steps quickening with anticipation as they ascended the stairs to her floor.

It wasn’t until they reached her apartment door that Alexander dropped his bombshell, casually mentioning that he would be moving in with her today. Sophia blinked in surprise, her mind racing to catch up with the sudden turn of events.

“Wait, what today?” she exclaimed, her voice echoing with disbelief as she turned to look at Alexander.

He grinned, his eyes alight with excitement. “Surprise,” he said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Sophia’s heart raced as a flurry of questions flooded her mind. “But what about all your belongings? I have to come to help you, and I already have a business meeting. If you want, I’ll cancel it and I’ll…”

“I already have everything I need right here,” Alexander said with a smile at Sophia’s confused expression.

“But is this all your luggage?” she asked, gesturing to the single suitcase he held in his hand.

Alexander shrugged nonchalantly. “Oh, don’t worry about that,” he reassured her. “My secretary will take care of moving everything to the apartment next door.”

“The apartment next door? Alexander, I don’t understand anything.” Sophia laughed.

“In the morning I decided to buy the whole building. Now we can tear down the walls of the other apartment and combine them into one bigger one.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Sophia’s jaw dropped in astonishment. “You bought the entire apartment building?” she gasped, unable to hide her surprise.

Alexander nodded, a proud smile spreading across his face. “I couldn’t wait,” he admitted sheepishly. “I wanted to be closer to you as soon as possible.”

Sophia couldn’t help but be impressed by Alexander’s quick decision and his grand gesture. It spoke volumes about his commitment to their relationship, and she felt a rush of warmth fill her chest at the realization of how deeply he cared for her.

As they entered the apartment together, Sophia couldn’t shake the sense of excitement that bubbled within her. With Alexander by her side, their home felt warmer, brighter, and full of endless possibilities.

As they settled into their new life as roommates and partners, Sophia found herself falling even more deeply in love with Alexander, grateful for the love and devotion that he showed her every single day.

The next day dawned bright and clear, with a sense of purpose in the air as Alexander and Kyle sat down to discuss their plan of action.

“Kyle, I want you to track down who is behind the stolen documents I told you about. Do you think you can handle it?” Alexander stated, his tone firm and determined.

Kyle nodded, his expression serious. “I understand,” he replied. “But I have to be honest with you, Alexander. I’ve left the mafia. I can’t interfere directly anymore.”

Alexander’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “You left the mafia?” he repeated, disbelief coloring his voice.

Kyle nodded again, his gaze unwavering. “Yes, I did. But I still have connections. I can use them to find out who took the files,” he explained.

Alexander considered Kyle’s words carefully, a frown furrowing his brow. ” Do you have any suspicions about who might be involved?” he asked.

Kyle’s expression darkened. “I suspect Albert’s involvement,” he admitted.” He’s been trying to climb the ranks within the mafia for years. By handing this file to the elders, he could elevate himself to a position of power.”

Alexander nodded thoughtfully, taking in Kyle’s words. “I see,” he murmured. “But why did you give up wealth and power to leave the mafia?”

Kyle’s gaze softened as he glanced down at his hands. “I sacrificed everything to be with Evelyn,” he confessed, his voice tinged with emotion. “She’s the love of my life, Alexander. And I’ll do anything to protect her.”

Alexander felt a pang of sympathy for his friend as he listened to Kyle’s heartfelt confession. “I understand,” he said quietly. “And I admire your courage and your dedication to love.”

“It wasn’t a hard decision for me at all, I still plan to spend the rest of my life with her,” Kyle said.

“The rest of…” Alexander began.

A sudden realization dawned on Alexander, and he looked up at Kyle with a smile. “You’re planning to propose to Evelyn, aren’t you?” he asked, a note of excitement creeping into his voice.

Kyle’s eyes widened in surprise, but then he smiled, nodding enthusiastically. “Yes, I am,” he admitted. “And I could use your help in preparing for it.”

Alexander grinned, feeling a surge of excitement at the prospect of helping his friend plan such a momentous occasion. “You’ve got it,” he said, clapping Kyle on the shoulder. “We’ll make sure it’s a proposal she’ll never forget.”
