My Ex-Husband is Out of Control Novel by Glory Writes

Sophia’s POV

Am I Sabrina? What kind of question is that, coming from Julia?

I gave her a puzzled look, remembering those moments when Elijah and I were just getting to know each other and I thought that he could really begin to care for me and eventually fall in love with me.

Apparently, he was just using me as a substitute for Sabrina, I thought bitterly. That’s why he never learned to appreciate and truly love me.

“What do you mean, am I Sabrina?” I asked Julia, bewildered.

She blinked and suddenly looked flustered. She straightened her shoulders and replied, “I mean, you look like you really want to become Sabrina, you know. And that was probably the reason Elijah became attracted to you in the first place.”

A crease formed on my forehead and I felt a surge of annoyance. “It doesn’t matter, we’re divorced already. And no, I don’t intend on taking your place as Sabrina. I’m not sure why your grandmother keeps saying I’m Sabrina, but it’s not who I want to be. I just want to be myself, thank you.”

I could sense that she felt threatened, but it was odd how she seemed to be so jealous and suspicious. If she was the real Sabrina, then there was nothing to worry about, right?

“Why are you suspicious of me, Julia?” I could not help asking. “Everyone knows you’re the real Sabrina.”

The expression on her face turned sour. “Apparently not Grandma Evelyn and Elijah,” she muttered with a hint of bitterness and sadness. “They’re not acting like it.”

My eyes widened and I didn’t know what to say. But yes, I’ve definitely noticed that.

“Actually, maybe it’s time for you to know that…” Julia trailed off.

I was just wondering what she was about to say when I heard someone calling me. When I turned around, I saw that it was Trevis.

“Hey, Sophia! Julia! Why are you still here in the lobby?” he asked. “We’re having a staff meeting in a few minutes.”

“Oh, right,” I said sheepishly. “Sorry, I almost forgot. Let’s go up now.”

We all headed to the elevator while Trevis briefed us on the agenda for the meeting. At the back of my mind, I continued to wonder what Julia wanted to say before Trevis interrupted us. Well, maybe I’ll get another chance to find out later.

After the meeting, we all went our separate ways. I headed to my own office where my assistant Lilith for my current project was already working.

I couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy as I worked on the real estate design for Chris’s grandparents, Evelyn and George. Spending time with them had been delightful, and I felt a deep connection to their love story and their success. As I envisioned the rustic, elegant house they desired, ! knew it would be a perfect reflection of their journey.

Beside me, Lilith was meticulously organizing the samples and sketches. She glanced up at me, a smile tugging at her lips.

“You’re in a good mood today, Sophia,” Lily observed, her eyes twinkling with curiosity.

“This project always puts me in a good mood,” I replied, my tone light. “It’s hard not to be when you’re designing something as special as this.”

Just as I placed the final touches on a sketch, a knock sounded at the door. I glanced up to see Trevis, his usual confident demeanor softened by a genuine smile. He stepped into the room, his eyes scanning the spread of designs on the table.

“Sophia, these are incredible,” Trevis said with admiration. “You’ve really outdone yourself.”

“Thank you, Trevis,” I replied, feeling a warm flush of pride. “Evelyn and George’s story inspired me. I want this house to be perfect for them.”

Trevis nodded, his expression thoughtful. He lingered by the table, examining each piece carefully. Then, he turned to me, his tone shifting to a more serious note.

“Sophia, there’s something I need to discuss with you,” he began, his eyes meeting mine.

“Sure, what’s on your mind?” I asked, sensing the weight of his words.

“Julia approached me earlier,” Trevis said slowly, choosing his words with care. “She expressed a strong interest in joining your design team for this project.”

I blinked, the shock of his statement settling over me. Julia and Chris were siblings, and I knew Julia had been feeling threatened by my growing bond with their grandparents. Our earlier conversation replayed in my mind, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was more than just professional interest.

“Julia wants to be part of this project?” I repeated, trying to mask my surprise.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes,” Trevis confirmed. “She believes her insights could be valuable, given her close relationship with Evelyn and George.”

I took a deep breath, my thoughts racing. Despite the tension between Julia and me, I knew rejecting her outright could create more problems. Besides, if Evelyn and George wanted her involved, I had to respect that.

“Alright,” I said finally. “She can join the team.”

Trevis looked relieved, a hint of a smile returning to his face. “Thank you, Sophia. I think this will work out for the best.”

“I hope so,” I replied, my mind already buzzing with the potential challenges ahead. “Let’s make sure this project remains about Evelyn and George’s vision.”

“Agreed,” Trevis said, nodding firmly. “We’ll keep their wishes at the forefront.”

He was about to leave but then seemed to remember something. He stopped by the door and turned to me. “Oh, by the way, there’s an upcoming design conference in New York and I’ve decided to take two of my best designers with me you and Julia. “Oh, wow. I didn’t know whether to feel grateful and excited,

Julia.“Oh, I or to dread having to spend more time with Julia who seemed to have something against me.
