Mr. CEO’s Insatiable Addiction To His Feisty Ex-Wife
“Yes, my girlfriend, she’s back,” he answered, his eyes gleaming with something I couldn’t quite spot.
“Oh…ummm…” I found myself stuttering, finding it hard to make up a sentence. I couldn't decipher if this was supposed to be good or bad news.
But why is he referring to her as his girlfriend, when he has me, his wife?
Before I could figure out what to say, he let out the words I'd dreaded to hear for the past three years. The very words, I for once hoped I would never hear for the rest of my life.
“We can finally go our separate ways, let’s get divorced,” he effortlessly said, taking one more bite from the pancake before him.
*****************

Chapter: Chapter 223MELISSA’S POV The sound of the waves kissing the shore, the gentle breeze blowing through my hair, and the scent of the ocean clung to me like a memory I never wanted to let go of. I lay on the lounge chair beneath a woven umbrella, my sunglasses shielding my eyes from the rays as I enjoyed the breeze. Crystal’s giggles could be heard from a distance as she ran back and forth between Nancy and Edward as they played in the sand. A tiny bucket was in her hand and she was hopping from one end to the other, her braids bouncing behind her. Edward, Nancy, Crystal, Listowel, and I had all come for a vacation in Santorini. After taking over the company, Listowel had worked long days and nights to get the company back on track so it was only wise that we came on this vacation. Listowel’s best friend Edward had insisted on tagging along so I also invited Nancy to come with us just so Edward wouldn't feel left out. Nancy, Chrystal, and Edward seemed to be having a great time on

Chapter: Chapter 222LISTOWEL’S POVJames' wife added. “This is a joke,” she muttered under her breath, pacing up and down. “It’s some kind of setup. It has to be!” James slammed the back of his palm into the nearest table. “You knew! You knew you had a kid and kept it from everyone just to steal this!” I didn’t flinch. I looked him dead in the eyes and said, “I didn’t steal anything. I earned every bit of it.” Before they could all retaliate further, I pulled out my phone. Daniel’s voice quivered. “What the hell are you doing?” I clicked into my contacts, my chest thudding steadily with rage. My thumb hovered over the number for a second longer than necessary before I pressed call. “National Revenue Authority,” the operator answered. “How may I direct your call?” “This is Listowel Gordon,” I said calmly, my voice slicing through the tension like a scalpel. “I’d like to request an immediate audit of Gordon Incorporated.” James lunged. “What?! No—You can’t—” Daniel tried to snatch my phone

Chapter: Chapter 221LISTOWEL’S POV SIX MONTHS LATER It's been six months since my grandma passed away. Throughout the whole period, not even once did I get a peace due to Danuel and James' constant demand for the family will to be read. It's so shameless that they couldn't wait for the 12 months rule our tradition stipulates. We had called the lawyer the other day and he scheduled today to be the day for the reading. With all three of us alongside the lawyer converged at the mansion, the room was too quiet for such a significant day. I stood by the large bay window in Madam Gordon’s study, the sunlight casting long streaks across the Persian rug. The family lawyer, a stiff, pale man in a charcoal suit, sat at the grand mahogany desk, shuffling papers. His face remained unreadable, like someone used to handling secrets and grudges disguised as property titles. James and Daniel sat across from him, flanked by their smug wives in designer dresses that looked too celebratory for a will

Chapter: Chapter 220MELISSA’S POV Listowel reached forward and turned off the car radio so abruptly that the silence that followed hit harder than the news itself. The laughter we’d all been sharing just seconds ago vanished. I turned in my seat to look at him. His jaw was clenched, his fingers tightening around the steering wheel like he wanted to snap it in two. Even Crystal’s giggles in the backseat died off slowly as her curious eyes moved from her father to me. My heart sank for him because I knew what was going through his mind. That company, Gordon Inc… was his blood and sweat. It was something he spent so many years building to this state. Watching it fall apart in the hands of men who never truly cared for it must’ve felt like betrayal on every level. Yet he continued to stay silent. He didn’t say a word not even when we got home and Crystal went off to play in her room. At dinner, he was still quiet, poking at his food like it was just another burden. Later in the evening, h

Chapter: Chapter 218MELISSA’S POV “Show me her picture,” he whispered. I nodded, already pulling out my phone. With shaky fingers, I opened my phone gallery and found a photo of Crystal. She was laughing wholeheartedly with a cotton candy in her hands. Her eyes shone bright as the small dimple on her cheek, a trait she got from Listowel’s accenting to her cuteness. I held the phone out to him. When he got hold of it, he stared at the screen for a long, long time. Then, as if a dam inside him had broken, endless tears fell from his eyes. He sank to the couch, tightly holding the phone as he admired the little girl he never knew he had. “She’s so beautiful,” he choked out. “God, Melissa… she’s perfect. She looks just like you. No, just like us. I mean look at her tiny nose which resembles mine, and she also has your smile…” He looked up, disbelief drawn all over his face. “We’re going to see her,” he blurted. “Tomorrow. No, tonight.” “The earliest flight is tomorrow morning,” I said th

Chapter: Chapter 218MELISSA’S POV It’s been a month since everything ended. Emily was sentenced to 80 years in prison for attempted murder and assault. Wendy was also sentenced to life imprisonment for attempted murder and possession of illegal drugs. On the day of the final ruling, Wendy’s grandpa refused to appear in court. He disowned Wendy as his own and publicly stated his will that his assets be shared between care homes across the city and Wendy’s unborn child. He left nothing to Wendy’s name. Emily on the other had her father, Mr. Coleman try to use his connections to intervene but her plans didn’t go through as the people especially the junior ballets she had assaulted in the past came out to speak their truth. Even Mr. Coleman himself was found guilty of sexual harassment at his company so he couldn’t do much. Both Listowel and I were in the courtroom when the judge sentenced these devils to a sentence and sent them to jail. I had giggled and laughed in their faces when they we

FROM SCUMBAG EX TO SCUMBAG HUSBAND
“Tomorrow morning, I’ll leave. It’s raining thunderstorm outside..,,”
“No,” he thundered, taking me by surprise.
My head snapped up. “What?”
“You want to divorce me right?” he bellowed.
“Then leave this instant. We are no longer married.”
He spat, looking at me with rage and fury burning in his eyes. He looked nothing like the calm gentleman I fell in love with.
“Adrian—”
“I hope you get torn into pieces by an unknown creature you homeless parasite!” he spat.
“Huh?” I gasped. Me? Homeless?
“I'll give you few seconds to change your mind Elara…” he sneered. “Because the moment you set your feet off this mansion… you will be worth nothing!”

Betrayed and heartbroken, Elara makes a choice that will shake the nation’s elite—she reclaims her place as heir to the Alonso dynasty, but the price of her return is an arranged marriage to the one man she once ran from: Killian Dreven, the Ice Monarch.
They meet again and Elara sets firm boundaries, but what happens when the man who was rumored to be ruthless, starts to shower her with care and attention, so much that it scares her.
Why is Killian keen on marrying her even though she ditched him in the past? What secret does he hold and why the hell does he treat her like she's the only person that matters? Will Killian break down her walls? Or will she end up breaking his?

Chapter: Ch-51Killian's POVI stared down at Elara, watching as her eyes fluttered closed. Her lips were slightly parted, and she was leaning toward me like she was waiting for a kiss. My heart pounded against my ribs as I realized what she was doing.She wanted me to kiss her. After all that avoiding, all that running away, she was finally giving in to what was between us.A slow smile spread across my face. I could tease her a little, make her wait. Make her beg for it. My hand moved up to cup her face, my thumb tracing her bottom lip slowly."Elara..." I whispered, my voice rough with desire.But just as I was about to lean down and claim her lips, my phone rang loudly in the quiet room. The sharp sound made both of us jump, and Elara's eyes flew open in shock."Damn it," I cursed under my breath, pulling the phone from my pocket. I almost ignored it, but the caller ID showed it was from a hospital. My blood ran cold."Hello?" I answered quickly."Is this Killian?" a woman's voice asked on the o

Every minute had been spent thinking about Killian, about last night, about how I had almost let him...I shook my head hard, trying to push away the memories that made my cheeks burn with embarrassment."Mrs. Dreven!" Sarah's voice made me jump. She was sitting at her desk, looking relieved to see me. "Thank goodness you're back. Mr. Dreven came by looking for you earlier."My heart stopped beating for a moment. The blood drained from my face, and I could feel my pulse starting to race with panic. He had been looking for me. Of course he had."Don't mention that I came back," I said quickly, my voice coming out shakier than I intended. Sarah's eyebrows shot up in surprise, but I kept talking. "I'm heading home now. I need to pick up some files."It was a lie, and we both knew it. But Sarah nodded anyway, probably sensing that I didn't want to explain.

Chapter: Ch-49Elara's POVMy heart was still racing as I walked through the office building lobby. The whole day had been a blur of client meetings and field work, but none of it had been enough to distract me from what happened last night with Killian.Every time I closed my eyes, I could still feel his hands on me, still taste his kiss. My cheeks burned with embarrassment just thinking about how I had melted in his arms, how I had almost let him unbutton my nightgown completely.I shook my head hard, trying to push the thoughts away. I needed to focus on avoiding him, at least until I could figure out what was happening between us. My stomach twisted with anxiety at the thought of facing him again.I was so lost in my own thoughts that I didn't see the woman coming around the corner until we collided. She dropped her bag, and items scattered all over the marble floor with a loud crash."Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" I gasped, immediately dropping to my knees to help gather her things.The woman was c

You don't pull up after years of silence and expect me to go giddy happy on seeing you."The confident smile that had been plastered on her face faltered. Her red lips trembled slightly, and I saw her hands shake as she tried to maintain her composure. Good. She should be shaken."And you didn't think it was all wrong?" she asked, her voice softer now, almost pleading. Her eyes were wide, searching my face desperately. "You didn't think it was suspicious I would just leave like that?"I let out a harsh laugh that echoed through my office. The sound was bitter, cold. "I thought you found someone better and decided I wasn't worth your time anymore. Simple as that."Her face crumpled at my words like I had physically slapped her. Her bottom lip quivered, and I could see tears starting to gather in her eyes. Her

Chapter: Ch-47Killian's POVThe moment I caught Elara in my arms, every rational thought in my head disappeared. She was so warm against my bare chest, her silk nightgown thin enough that I could feel every curve of her body pressed against mine. Her hands gripped my shoulders, and I could feel her trembling.My heart was hammering against my ribs as I stared down at her. The moonlight made her skin glow, and those beautiful eyes of hers were wide with surprise. Her lips were parted slightly, and I could hear her breathing becoming shallow and quick."Elara..." I whispered, my voice coming out rougher than I intended.She didn't pull away. Instead, her fingers tightened on my shoulders, and I saw something flicker in her eyes. Want. Need. The same desperate hunger that was eating me alive from the inside.I couldn't help myself. My hand moved up to cup her face, my thumb tracing the soft line of her jaw. Her skin was like silk under my touch, and she leaned into it slightly, her eyes fluttering clo

My hands were still trembling from the adrenaline."Why should I feel frustrated?" I said out loud to my empty room, my voice cracking with emotion. "That bastard Adrian not only deceived me, now he's pushed me to a corner and Killian is pressing my buttons the way he likes. This is so annoying!"I started pacing back and forth across my room, my heels clicking against the hardwood floor. Every step felt heavy with anger and confusion. My chest felt tight, like I couldn't get enough air into my lungs.The way Killian had held me after the car incident kept flashing through my mind.

MR. CEO WANTS HIS EX-WIFE BACK
"Believe me, Gray, I didn’t do any of this," I pleaded, grabbing my husband’s hands, desperate for him to see the truth. But without sparing me look, he shoved my hands away, his touch as cold as ice.
"Enough!" he shouted, thrusting a document into my hands. I looked down to see the word ‘Divorce Agreement’ printed on the top of the page. My vision blurred as tears welled up in my eyes, and I struggled to comprehend the magnitude of what was happening”.
********
Although, their marriage didn’t start on a good note, Sylvia Hanson has put in her best effort to make her marriage with Grayson Lockwood work. Just when the couple grew attracted to each other, a photo of Sylvia in bed with a man surfaced the internet and a secret of her past life is revealed.
Shattered and devastated by the news, she hurries home to her husband to deny the accusations but she only meets the cold glare of him. He didn’t want to get involved with a ‘’. He throws divorce papers at her and drives her away from his home.
Broken, she swore to never love any man again no matter how hard it is to double up as a single mom and a breadwinner.
Six years later, she returns back to her old city as a renowned business woman, and the first person she runs into is her ex-husband, Grayson Lockwood.
On his knees he said, “ Forgive me ex-wife, make me yours again”.

Chapter: THE END!!SYLVIA'S POVThe music filled the room, a soft melody that perfectly matched the elegance of the moment. I stood with the crowd, cheering as Raymond and Beverly cut their wedding cake, the sweetness of the day mirrored in the layers of cream and sponge. I felt a tear slip down my cheek as I watched them share a kiss, a symbol of the love they had found in each other. It was a love that had grown stronger despite the odds, and seeing them now, so happy and so in love, filled my heart with an overwhelming sense of joy."Cheers to the newlyweds!" someone called out, raising a glass of champagne. The room erupted into applause and laughter, and I joined in, lifting my own glass before taking a small sip. The bubbles danced on my tongue, but the real celebration was in my heart. Two of the people I cared about the most had just vowed to spend their lives together, and I couldn't be happier for them.I watched as Grayson approached me, his smile wide and warm.

Chapter: ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY SIXSYLVIA'S POVI pushed my cart to the checkout line, trying to ignore the hum of the supermarket's television broadcasting the latest news. The report was a grim reminder of the chaos that had overtaken my life these past few weeks. Alice had managed to evade capture, despite the police's best efforts, and now her escape was dominating the headlines. The screen showed a grainy image of Alice from a surveillance camera, her face partially obscured as she slipped away. Todd Marlon and his wife, the couple who helped her, were also being sought, but it was clear Alice was the priority.My fingers tapped impatiently on the shopping cart handle as I waited for the cashier to finish scanning my groceries. I could hardly focus on the small talk she tried to make. My mind kept drifting back to the kids—Zenith and Zendaya—and the constant fear that loomed over us. As long as Alice was out there, nothing felt secure. My chest tightened just thinking about it.I paid for the groceries, my movemen

Chapter: ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY FIVEALICE'S POVI could hear the buzzing of news reporters and paparazzi as my car came to a stop. The flashing cameras and shouted questions were almost deafening. I adjusted my black pantsuit, the fabric feeling too tight and heavy as I prepared for the day ahead. This wasn’t how I had envisioned my court hearing. The last few weeks had been a whirlwind of stress and paranoia. I’d been so engrossed in my schemes that I failed to notice the net closing around me.Taking a deep breath, I tried to steady myself. The reality of the situation was sinking in—I hadn’t managed to cover my tracks as thoroughly as I’d thought. The thought of being caught off-guard was infuriating. My only real ace in the hole was the fact that I technically owned Lockwood; it’s hard to embezzle from a company you own. The charges against me were primarily about being an accomplice in the kidnapping of Zenith and Zendaya. But I was confident there was no solid evidence linking me directly to the crime. Beverly was

The knot seemed to mock my efforts, slipping just out of reach of perfection. As I fumbled with the silk, I felt Sylvia’s presence behind me. Her gentle touch on my shoulders was a comforting contrast to my frustration.“Let me help,” she said softly. Her hands moved with practiced ease, guiding the tie into place. I felt her warmth as she adjusted the fabric, smoothing it down and securing it. When she finished, she gave a reassuring pat on my shoulders. Her eyes, usually so full of confidence, held a hint of worry. I could tell she was anxious about the upcoming meeting, about what this day might bring.“It’ll be okay,” I said, turning to face her. “Everything’s going to be fine.”Sylvia gave me a small, but hopeful smile.

Lockwood’s value had been steadily climbing, and at present, those shares were worth around 96 billion dollars. My heart pounded with excitement and fear. This was my chance, my way out. The risks were enormous, but so were the rewards.The document of ownership for Lockwood Corporation was a ticking time bomb. I knew that. It was only a matter of time before it was contested.

I wouldn’t need to worry about the document anymore. Once the sale went through, I could embezzle the money, and by the time anyone realized what had happened, William and I would be long go
