~Trust Me ~

Chapter 15

Sophie pov

My days here were pretty much the same. I have been invited to dinner by few families here and they already treat me like a daughter. I do miss my parents. I still haven't called them. I was not very close to my in-laws but I loved them. And I know they loved Xander a lot. He just wasn't able to get over the fact that they abandoned him when he was three and left for business leaving him with his grandparents.

I tried amending their relationship and to some extent I was successful. I don't know how are they doing now. Will they trust me?

Here I have made few new friends. Olivia, Alex, Oliver who was Olivia's brother, Lucas, Ava, Mia and James. Yes, they are way too many in the amout of time I have spent here.

Sometimes I do feel that people subtly try setting me up with there sons but I can't really say anything to them. Nevertheless, I am loved by most of the people and most importantly I am fine now.

I was scrolling through my news feed when something caught my attention. A certain article.

"Smith's now divorced. Mrs Smith charged of infidelity. It is stated that Mrs Smith had cheated on her husband not once but many times."

Did he still think I cheated on him? Did Thomas not verify that the photographs were morphed? Or Xander knew it all along but tried to place the blame on me?

I promise you Sophie, I will get myself in trouble but will never let anything happen to you.

I trust Xander. He will never do anything to tarnish my reputation. I am sure he must be shocked with the news too. He will never let harm come my way.

The most searched topic was Smith's divorce. Did he finally give an official statement. Was I hated by all?

I clicked on the link and there was not one but many articles.

"Trouble in paradise. Is the youngest billionaire now single? According to the latest reports the Smith couple who have time and again set goals for other couples have parted ways."

How did they know about this? Did he give an official statement?

"Is power couple not a couple anymore. News of divorce for many couples have been going around but the most shocking is that of Smith's. No one from the Smith's have confirmed the statement yet."

If he didn't say then how did the news leak. I am sure not many people know about this.

"Mr Smith cheating on Mrs Smith. Miss Shelly, Mr Smith rumoured girlfriend have been seen exiting Mr Smith's office four times in a row."

Shelly. The one he had a scandal with. What is she doing in his office? Was he is a relationship with her? Did he love her? And did she love him? For how long was he with her?

No, I still trust Xander he would never cheat on me while being in a marriage. Maybe he did fall out of love and was attracted to her but he will never cheat. He respected our vows and was a loyal husband.

What would have been your reaction after you read something like this? Would you have banged their head, cursed them, called them names or cried?
Every person reacts differently to a situation. Every person has there own thought process and takes in news differently. It is never correct to judge a person based on their reaction. It is natural for them to have a reaction different than yours.
