As the days turned into weeks, Sophie and Alex found themselves seeking each other out, their conversations growing deeper and more meaningful.

They explored the vibrant streets of Tokyo together, immersing themselves in the beauty of the culture and the enchanting sights.

One evening, as they strolled through the tranquil gardens of Yoyogi Park, Sophie and Alex found themselves lost in each other's company.

The cherry blossoms painted the scenery in shades of pink, creating a romantic ambiance.

With a shy smile, Sophie broke the silence.

"Alex, do you ever wonder if our paths crossed for a reason?"

Alex looked at her intently, his eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and affection.

"I've thought about it too, Sophie. It's almost like fate brought us together."

Sophie nodded, her voice soft and vulnerable.

"I can't explain it, but being with you feels like coming home."

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow on their faces, Alex reached for Sophie's hand, intertwining their fingers.

"Sophie, I feel the same way. You make me believe in the magic of unexpected encounters."

Their hands held tightly, they embarked on a journey of love, supporting each other through the highs and lows of their lives.

They discovered hidden gems in the city together, shared countless meals at cozy ramen shops, and danced under the moonlight, their laughter echoing throughout the night.

Sophie sat in her father's office, the city skyline visible through the window behind her.

She sipped on her tea and flipped through the channels on the television, trying to distract herself from the pang of loneliness she felt.

Her ex-boyfriend, Alex, was now living in another country, and she couldn't help but think about him.

Just then, her phone buzzed with a message from Mom. "Hey Sophie, how are you doing?" She asked.

Sophie hesitated for a moment before replying, "I'm doing well, thank you. How about you?"

"I'm good, just missing you," her Mom replied.

Sophie sighed and typed back, "I miss you too, but we both know that it's for the best that we're apart."

"I know, but I can't help but think about you all the time," her Mom confessed.

Sophie took a deep breath and decided to be honest with her Mom.

"Mom, I've been focusing on running my father's company and trying to move on.

"I think it's best if we both try to do the same."

There was a long pause before her Mom replied, "I understand. I just want you to know that I'll always care about you, Sophie."

"I care about you too, Mom," Sophie said softly.

As they continued to chat, Sophie couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness.

She had loved Mom deeply, but their relationship had come to an end for a reason.

She knew that she needed to focus on her career and building her father's company into something even greater.

After saying goodbye to her Mom Sophie turned off the television and set her empty cup of tea aside.

She had a lot of work to do, and she was determined to make her mark as the CEO of her father's company.

As she looked out the window at the city below, she felt a surge of determination and strength. She was ready to take on whatever challenges came her way, and she knew that she would succeed.

The next day, Sophie arrived at her father's company, greeted by the hustle and bustle of the office.

She was loved by everyone in the company, and she took pride in leading them towards success.

As she made her rounds, checking in with different departments and employees, she couldn't shake the thoughts of her Alex from her mind.

In the afternoon, as she sat in a meeting with the board members, her phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number.

Curious, she excused herself and checked the message. It was from Alex.

"Hey Sophie, it's me. I know we said we should move on some years back, but I can't stop thinking about you.
"Can we talk?"

Sophie felt a mix of emotions as she read the message. Part of her wanted to ignore it and focus on her work, but another part of her longed to hear from Alex.

She took a deep breath and replied, "I'm in a meeting right now.

"Can we talk later?"

She returned to the meeting, but her mind was elsewhere. She couldn't help but wonder what Alex wanted to talk about.

As soon as the meeting ended, she retreated to her office and waited for his reply.

Sophie was sitting at her laptop after the meeting deep in thought, trying to work out some things.

After a while, Alex finally replied, but Sophie's expression turned sour.

"This isn't the promise Alex made about our relationship," she muttered to herself.

"We both love each other, spent time together, and I introduced him to my family members.

So why is he trying to break my heart after all these years?"

Her frustration was evident as she contemplated the situation.

Suddenly, her mood shifted, and she became determined.

"What I believe is that if anyone does something that deeply pains you or breaks your heart, you need to take revenge.

Let them feel what you are experiencing," she said to herself, echoing Jane's words.

With a newfound determination, Sophie set out to devise a plan to make Alex understand the hurt he had caused her and ensure that he felt the same pain she was experiencing.

Sophie's mind buzzed with ideas as she plotted her revenge. She knew she had to be strategic and calculated in her approach.

After hours of contemplation, she finally settled on a plan.

First, she decided to cut off all communication with Alex.

No more texts, calls, or social media interactions. She wanted him to feel the void she felt in her heart.

Next, she planned to make him jealous. Sophie would post carefully curated photos on social media, showcasing her enjoying life and spending time with friends.

She wanted Alex to see that she was moving on and living her best life without him.

Finally, Sophie decided to confront Alex in person. She would calmly and confidently express how deeply hurt she was by his actions.

She wanted him to see the pain in her eyes and understand the gravity of his betrayal.

With her plan in place, Sophie felt a sense of empowerment.

She was ready to take control of the situation and make sure Alex understood the consequences of breaking her heart.
