Fresh start

Chapter 15

Kevin pov

Sophia from yesterday looks strange. She tries to hide it, but I understand that something is bothering her. I decided to call Steffie. She will know. I call her on her office phone, and she answers immediately, "Steffie?" she does not have time to speak

"Hey, Kevin. Is something wrong?"

"Yes. I'm sorry for the rush. I want to know something. I know that Sophia has something, she doesn't explain to me what she has. She is trying to look cool, but I know she has something. Please, if you know, you can tell me" she sighs

"Kevin, I know you're interested, but it's her problem, and she has made me swear I will not say anything."

"Please. I want to help, and she doesn't need to know" she is silent. She is probably thinking. Thank God

"Ok, but you didn't find it from me. I tell her for a long time to talk to you, but she doesn't want to get involved in this."

"What is it, Steffie? Tell me."

"Her ex is constantly asking her for money to sign the divorce. She has given what her grandmother left her, and he is still asking for more—that asshole. Yesterday the lawyer called her again and told her that he had asked for more. She didn't tell me how much. But Probably a lot. " this i***t. How can he do that to her? "Okay, Steff, you have the lawyer's number? I will take over from now on. Sophia will not find anything."

"Yes, I have it. It happened once she called him from my cell phone, and I kept the number."

"Okay, text me the number. Thanks, Steffie."

"No problem. I'm waiting for news" and end the call. Ok, Sophia is out preparing the papers, and the files I asked for will be busy for quite some time. It's my chance to call him now. The secretary answers I say who I am and connects me with the lawyer

"Hello, Mr. Bailey? Giorgos Petropoulos Lawyer. How can I serve?"

"Hello, I'm calling about the case of Sophia Papas. Can you let me know about the progress of the case, please?"

"Does Sophia know about this phone call?"

"No, and I would like it to stay that way. I am willing to give whatever this gentleman asks as long as he signs for the divorce."

" Mr. Bailey, you don't understand."

"No, you have to understand." cut him before continuing. This will end today

"I want this gentleman to sign today. Whatever money he asks for will be transferred to his account today. Whatever he asks for. And together with the divorce papers, I want him to sign an agreement that he has no other claim from Sophia. Did you understand? Today. "

"But Sophia"

"Leave Sophia out of it. You're talking to me. You'll call Sophia as soon as he signs and tell her that the divorce is continuing" I explained what else he wanted to do, and we ended the call. Within an hour, I had completed the money transfer. One of the advantages is to be one of the richest in the country. On the way to a meeting outside the office, the lawyer informed me that he had signed all the requested papers. It will finally end soon. I told him not to say anything to Sophia and to find an excuse. I will find an opportunity to tell her. She will be pissed, but we will work between us. I went back to the office, and Sophia told me the news in relief. Immediately her face changed. She is happier, and her stress is gone. I'm so excited she's done with this story, and soon she will be mine alone. I'm in the vice president and my cousin's office.

"So these with the agreement. But something else you think. All good?" Paul asks me.

"Everything is perfect. They couldn't be better. Sophia gets rid of her ex soon. The divorce will be formal in two months at most."

"This is great. But I have the feeling that you put your hand in it."

"And I don't regret it. She is worth it."

"I will not disagree with that. Sophia is a wonderful girl. You are lucky," he says happily for me but with bitterness for him. We are the same age, and like me, he was unlucky in his relationships too. And mainly with one. Crazy wind with her, and she cheated on him with his best friend. They broke up, and now she married the other.

"Paul, I know how you feel. I was so distant and stiff before I met Sophia. I thought I would never meet the only one. Somewhere out there is something special for you."

"Wow, you never became such a sweetheart."

"You will be when you find her. You will feel and say things you never expected." we hear a knock on the door

"Come in" the door opens, and I see Aunt Vivian. That's one thing it means. My mother will also be in the building

"Hello, boys." I get up to greet her

"His aunt, How are you?" I say, and I kiss her on the cheek

"Mother, what are you doing here? Something happened?" asks Paul, who has also approached

"No, my boy, all is well. I was having lunch with Amelia nearby, and we wanted to come to see both of you."

"Only that?" I stare at her

"Well ...." she hesitates. "Mother?" Paul asks, "Kevin. You know your mother. She's been waiting a long time to meet Sophia, and she certainly wouldn't wait any longer until Christmas.

Fuck. Great, just great.

"I have to leave. I'm glad to see you, aunt. Paul, we're talking later," I say and almost run away. I hope Sophia is not too stressed. I arrive at my office and see Sophia crying in my mother's arms. After explanations were given and Sophia calmed down, we went home. She deserves to take the rest of the day off. We entered the apartment, and immediately Sophia asked if I wanted her to cook for dinner. I approach her, and she is turning her back on me. She is drinking her water. I put my hands on her waist and hugged her. My chin rests on her shoulder. She is a little surprised, but she understands what I am doing to calm down.

"I always love your cooking, baby. I don't want to tire you, but if you want, you can cook every day" she caresses my hands and tilts her head to mine.

"I like to take care of you, and I'm excited that you want my cooking. "

"I love the way you treat me. The way you take care of me. I could live like that forever." I turn her, and I cup her face. "Will we be like this forever?" she passes her hands on my waist

"I want it. And I wish it," and she kisses me. She holds me tight from the waist and deepens the kiss. "I can live like this forever," I say, and we laugh.

"Let's go for a shower, and then I have to cook," she says, and we go to the bedroom. I cant say no to my future wife. Wife, I like the sound of that.
