Chapter 23

Sophie pov

"Ofcourse, we will talk darling. But I have come after two years and I missed you so much. Will you not show me around?"

This man is insane. Is he trying to humiliate me? I pushed my elbow towards his abdomen. I couldn't hit him with all my strength because the last thing I want is him ending up in my hospital.

Okay, I can't see him in pain.

You are saying that after almost making him bleed by digging your nails, stepping on his toe, and hitting him with your elbow.

Did I go overboard?

"Yes, show him around Sophie. Also there is a meeting of all the residents in an hour. You can introduce him to everyone."

I did hear a hint of sarcasm in their voice but who was I to blame. It was still better than what I expected. But making him meet others. It wasn't a good idea. I am proud of him and would love to flaunt my husband to everyone but the only problem is he is no longer my husband.

"But Sophie we thought you were single."

And at this point I literally wanted to shout that what you think is not my problem. You assumed it yourself and I never corrected because it is the truth. But Xander held me tighter if it was even possible.

"Aless..."

"I would like to head out with my wife if you don't mind."

He said emphasising 'wife'. Good job. So now this man here was jealous. I loved it when he was jealous. It gave me a different kind of satisfaction and a chance to tease him. Xander was a very possessive and jealous man.

Not that I am complaining.

I just stayed in his arms while he was having if-looks-could-bury-you-alive round with Alessandro.

We went to his car and as I soon as we settled down he hugged me tight almost cutting off my air supply. I tried pushing him away but he didn't budge and as soon as he kissed me under my earlobe my mind went in a frenzy. His scent made me melt down in his arms and I hugged him too.

"I miss you Sophie."

And then I realised what I was doing. I can't do this. We were not together anymore. And we will never be. So I pushed him with all my might and he fell back on his seat.

"Don't Xander."

More than convincing him, I was convincing myself.

"You still love me Sophie. See how your body reacts to me. Please baby just one chance."

Yes, I love him with all my heart but I can't give him another chance.

Never go back to an old love, no matter how strong it is. Its like reading a book again, when you already know the end.

"Love is not enough Xander. I can't be with you."

Though people say that love is enough for a relationship to work but I know better. Its not.
