When Alex's reply finally came, it was filled with longing and regret. He expressed how much he missed

Sophie and how he couldn't stop thinking about her, but he needs to follow his parents' wish , tradition and obligation, though it is a contract marriage to another lady.

He admitted that he still cared for her deeply and wished her the best of luck.

Sophie felt a surge of emotions as she read his words. She knew that she still cared for Alex and loved him deeply too, but she also knew that their relationship had run its course. She took a deep breath and typed out a response.

"Sophie, I understand how you feel, but we both know that it's best for us to move on.

I've been focusing on my career and building my father's company into something great.'

"I hope you can do the same."

There was a long pause before Sophie replied.

"I understand, Alex, I just want you to know that I'll always care about you as a friend"

"But, you broke my heart.

"I care about you too, Sophie and I am Sorry" Alex said softly.

She was sobbing silently, she felt a sense of closure wash over her. She knew that it was time to let go of the past and focus on her future.

She turned off her phone and set it aside, ready to throw herself into her work once again.

As days turned into weeks, Sophie threw herself into her work with renewed determination.

She led her father's company with confidence and grace, earning the respect of her employees and peers.

She knew that she was making her mark as the CEO, and she felt proud of what she had accomplished.

One evening, as she sat in her office reviewing some documents, her phone buzzed with a message from Alex.

It had been weeks since they last spoke, and she wasn't sure what he could possibly have to say.

"Hey Sophie, it's me again. I know I said I would move on, but I can't stop thinking about you.

"Can we meet up and talk?"

Sophie felt a mix of emotions as she read his message. Part of her wanted to see him again and hear what he had to say, but another part of her knew that it was time to fully let go of their past.

She took a deep breath and replied, "I appreciate your honesty, Alex. "

"But I think it's best for both of us if we continue to move forward separately."

There was no immediate reply from Alex this time. Instead, Sophie focused on her work and poured all of her energy into growing her father's company into something even greater.

As time passed, Sophie found herself feeling stronger and more determined than ever before.

She knew that she had made the right decision in letting go of the past and focusing on her future, but waiting for the exact time to take revenge because she believes that

Alex really hurt her feelings, and sooner or later she will take her revenge.

And as she looked out at the city below from her office window, she felt a sense of peace wash over her.

She was ready to take on whatever challenges came her way, and she knew that she would succeed.

Three years had passed since that fateful elevator encounter, and Sophie and Alex had grown inseparable.

Their love had blossomed into something deep and profound, anchoring them to each other.

On a warm summer evening, as they stood on a rooftop overlooking the Tokyo skyline, Sophie turned to Alex, his eyes shimmering with unshed tears.

"Sophie these three years have been the best of my life. But soon, my parents want me to return home and take over his company ."

Alex's grip on Sophie's hand tightened, his voice filled with a mix of determination and sadness.

"Sophie, I can't imagine a life without you. "

"Let's make a promise to each other.

No matter the distance or the obstacles ahead, we will find a way to be together." Sophie smiled through her tears.

Alex's heart felt heavy as he boarded the plane, leaving behind the bustling city of Tokyo.

Japan had been his home for the past three years, and now it was time to say goodbye.

The business contract he had been working on had finally come to an end, but leaving Sophie, his dear girl friend, behind was harder than he had anticipated.

As the plane took off, Alex's mind wandered back to the last conversation they had before his departure.

He reached for his phone and dialed Sophie's number.

After a few rings, she picked up, her voice filled with anticipation and anxiety.

"Sophie, it's me, Alex," he said, struggling to keep his voice steady.

"Alex! Oh, how I've missed you," Sophie exclaimed, her voice tinged with both excitement and sorrow.

"How was your trip? Are you excited to come back home?"Alex paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts.

"Sophie, there's something I need to tell you," he began, his voice laced with a mixture of guilt and determination.

"The truth is, I won't be coming back to Japan just yet.

Dad's company has offered me an appointment, and I've decided to accept it.

"Sophie's voice faltered, and he could hear her breath catch.

"But Alex, what about us? What about our plans? We were supposed to be together again.

I can't bear the thought of being apart for even longer."

"I know, Sophie, and I understand how you feel," Alex replied, his voice filled with remorse.

"But this opportunity is too important for my career. I promise you, it won't be forever. I'll work hard, save up, and come back for you.

We'll be together again, I swear."Sophie's voice trembled with emotion.

"Promise me, Alex. Promise me that you'll come back as soon as you can.

I can't imagine my life without you anymore.

"I promise, Sophie. I promise with all my heart," Alex said, his voice filled with determination.

"I won't let anything keep us apart.

We will be together again, no matter what it takes.

They stayed on the phone for hours, pouring out their hearts, reminiscing about the moments they had shared in Japan.

Sophie learned that love could conquer all obstacles. By being honest with herself and with Alex, and by prioritizing their relationship ,

She found a deeper connection with him than she had ever imagined possible. Sophie knew that their love would continue to thrive against all odds .

But very soon we shall see, And the time for revenge will soon come, Alex is mine, and mine alone.
