Sophia & Ella
Sophia
Sophia stepped into Alex's study just as sbrunette maid crushing out, practically bowling her over in
her haste to escape. The girl's face was flushed, and her little bosom was heaving.
“Careful there,” Sophia said, but the maid was already halfway down the hall and didn’t even bother to
apologize.
How rude.
Sophia smoothed down her dress and entered the study, where Alexander was standing by his desk looking
somewhat bewildered. She’d chere to make amends-their last few conversations hadn’t exactly gone well,
and she was tired of being on the outs with him.
“Alex,” she said, holding up a small wrapped box “I brought you something. A peace offering.”
He looked up, and she could see the weariness in his green eyes. “Sophia. What are you doing here?”
“I wanted to apologize for the other night. | know | was... difficult.” She set the box on his desk. “It’s that
expensive whiskey you like. The one from overseas.”
Alex glanced at the gift but didn’t reach for it. “That’s thoughtful of you.”.
“What was all that about?” Sophia asked, nodding toward the door. “Your maid looked like she'd seen a ghost.”
Alex ran a hand through his red hair, and for a moment, something that might have been amusement flickered
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtacross his face. “I think she might have a crush on me,” he said, sinking into his chair.”
The words stabbed Sophia directly in the heart. “What?”
“She askedsvery personal questions about my marriage. Whether | was happy, that sort of thing.” Alex
shook his head. “Very inappropriate for staff.”
“Indeed.” Sophia forced herself to smile even though she felt a storm of rage building beneath her skin. Another
woman was interested in Alex? Another threat to deal with? “How... awkward for you.”
“Yeah.” Alex finally picked up the whiskey. “Thank you for this. It was unnecessary, but | appreciate the gesture.”
“Of course.” Sophia took a step back. “Well, | should let you get back to your work.”

Chapter 125
It didn’t take Sophia long to find her. The girl was on her hands and knees in the main foyer, scrubbing the
marble flood.
And fuck, she was gorgeous. Even in a plain maid’s uniform with her hair tied back, she had the kind of beauty
that made other women want to commit murder.
Long legs, tiny waist, perfect face. She looked like she could be Sophia’s younger sister, if Sophia had been
blessed with slightly better genes.
This was a problem.
Sophia had spent months-no, years-trying to drive a wedge between Alex and Ella. She'd destroyed that hideous
old locket at the charity auction, spread rumors about their marriage, physically assaulted Ella, had done
everything she could think of to make Alex see that his wife was weak and pathetic.
But nothing had worked. If anything, Alex seemed more protective of Ella lately.
And now there was someone new. Another beautiful woman in his house, asking personal questions about his
love life. A woman who was young and grateful and probably eager to please Alex in ways that Ella never would
be.
And most of all, she was here while Sophia had been banned from staying in the guest suite. With a pretty girl
like this living in his house, not even the stoic Alpha Alex would be able to resist the temptation for long.
Sophia couldn't let that happen.
She walked over to where the maid was scrubbing, noting how the girl's uniform stretched across her perfect ass
as she worked. The floor around her was spotless, gleaming under the chandelier light.
Too bad.
Sophia positioned herself next to a large potted plant that sat on a marble pedestal beside the
staircase.
With one swift movement, Sophia drew her foot back and kicked the pot as hard as she could.
It toppled off the pedestal and crashed to the floor, shattering into a million pieces. Dirt and ceramic shards
scattered across the marble, along with the plant's broken stems and scattered petals.
The maid looked up in shock.
“Oops,” Sophia said.
