She Fell for Her Taxi Driver — Then Discovered He Was the Billionaire CEO She Never Expected to Love
Chapter 11
Marriage changed their schedules.
Not their values.
Sophia became chief operating officer of a regional healthcare network.
Daniel continued running Reed Meridian.
They traveled.
They supported charities.
They bought a modest house outside the city.
Daniel insisted on keeping a small kitchen.
Sophia loved it.
“You can build a mansion.”
“I don’t want one.”
“Why?”
“Because you like this house.”
She smiled.
“I do.”
They had children.
A daughter.
Then a son.
The house filled with noise.
Daniel still occasionally drove the taxi for special charity events.
Sophia worked long hours.
They argued about childcare.
About travel.
About work.
About who forgot to buy milk.
Their wealth didn’t eliminate ordinary problems.
It simply changed which problems were ordinary.
One night, after putting the children to bed, Sophia found Daniel looking at an old photograph.
The first taxi.
The first night.
The diner.
He smiled.
“Thinking?”
“Always.”
“What?”
“How close I came to missing you.”
Sophia sat beside him.
“You almost did.”
“Why?”
“Because you lied.”
He laughed.
“Fair.”
She leaned against him.
“I’m glad you told me.”
“Me too.”
“Do you miss being anonymous?”
“Sometimes.”
“Would you do it again?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because I learned things I never could have learned in a boardroom.”
She smiled.
“And met me.”
“That too.”
