Married to the Secret Stanger

Sophia wasn't a fool.

She knew chasing after Alexander blindly wouldn't work.

She had to be strategic.

She needed a way to get closer to him, a way that would make him see her worth.

She had already made some calls, and soon, she would have a reason to see Alexander—a reason he couldn't ignore.

At Indigo Design

Joanne sat at her desk, going through the designs for an upcoming project.

She was trying to focus, but something felt off.

Ever since her conversation with Alexander the other day, she had been restless.

The way he had teased her about what happened the previous night made her want to crawl under her desk and disappear.

She still couldn't believe she had thrown herself at him!

I kissed him!

She groaned internally, her cheeks heating up just thinking about it.

And to make matters worse, Alexander seemed to enjoy watching her squirm.

That man is the devil.

"Joanne!"

She snapped out of her thoughts as Diana practically flew into the office, looking like she had just heard the biggest gossip of the year.

"You will not believe this!" Diana exclaimed, slamming her phone down on Joanne's desk.

Joanne raised a brow.

"What is it now?"

Diana grinned and turned the phone screen toward her.

BREAKING NEWS: Sophia Baker joins the King Multinational Charity Initiative.

Joanne's heart skipped a beat.

What?

Sophia was working with Alexander's company?

Joanne's grip on the phone tightened slightly.

What is she up to?

Diana leaned in, whispering dramatically, "Looks like your darling husband is going to be seeing a lot more of your charming stepsister."

Joanne exhaled slowly.

She wasn't sure why, but something about this felt wrong.

Meanwhile, at King Multinational

Sophia stepped into the glamorous lobby of King Multinational, her confidence radiating with every step she took.

She was dressed to perfection, every strand of her hair in place, her designer dress hugging her curves just right.

She knew people were watching.

She wanted them to.

She was here for Alexander King.

And this time, she wouldn't lose.
