CEO'S DIVORCED WIFE IS HOT CEO

(Freya’s Pov)I sighed heavily. As I was declared the bride of Ash Knight. The man who was suddenly married to me because my younger sister refused and ran away from the marriage. Being an illegitimate daughter, I was always used as a replacement for my younger sister. I was called nothing but a bad blood, a pet of the house. I would be given orders that I have to follow just like a loyal dog does for his masters. Just like this replacement was an order from my step mom.“Today, you have to save our reputation by marrying Ash knight. I hope you understood my order, very well?” My step mom Mary spat her words with hatred. As much she hates me more than she loves her daughter Stella.With a nod, I agreed to take her place and follow her orders. But deep down the truth is that I had secretly loved him since college days. Back then, he was my sister's boyfriend, so I always hide my feelings. But today life played a trick on us, and here I am standing as his bride and Mrs.Knight. I wa

(FREYA'S POV)"You really have no feelings, Ash," I whispered hoarsely. I could only stare at him with a face of disappointment. I bit my lower lip so hard that it hurt. Clenching my hands together, I held back the anger and sadness I was currently feeling."I don't care. I warned you not to get your hopes up with this marriage, but you seem very interested in becoming my wife. Are you in love with me?" he asked in a mocking tone that made my pride feel like it was being trampled on by him. And that made me even more angry and resentful towards him."Why would I love a heartless man like you?""In that case, good. We don't love each other. I was forced to marry you because of my grandmother and you were forced to marry me in place of your sister. Neither of us wants this marriage, so... sign the divorce papers right now!""Even after all the things you've done and said, you don't apologize or feel any guilt towards me? Are you really this evil?"I swallowed my saliva with difficulty.

(Freya's Pov)"Mom... Mom!!!"I looked back and I saw my two children running around with bright faces. Coming towards me with their small but hurried runs. I smiled, amused by the way they ran which looked adorable in my eyes.I knelt down in front of them and hugged them tightly with my arms wrapped around their bodies. Then I pinched their cheeks one by one and smiled."I told you not to run around, right?" I said to both of them. "There are a lot of people here. What if you bump into one of the guests and you fall."I checked their condition, tidying up their slightly disheveled appearance."You're not hurt, are you?" I asked, then."Um!" They nodded simultaneously and I smiled a little. So cute. "We're fine. We're not hurt!""That's good. But next time, no more running around. Okay?""Okay!"We made a pinky promise. They have always been my source of happiness that I can't get anywhere else. The most precious thing I had that made me survive until now.I smiled, and then my eyes

(Freya's POV)"Babe," I immediately turned around and returned Henry's hug right away. I hugging him so intimately to show Ash that I've moved on and have another man in my life. And make Ash believe that Hazel and Violet are not their children.It was fortunate that Henry came in time so I could use him to get Ash away from me. I should thank him and apologize to him after this."I apologize for making you worry," I said. I wrapped my arms around Henry's neck and kissed him on the lips.I steeled myself to remain calm as I watched Henry's eyebrows knit together as if confused about what I was doing to him. He must be in shock, but I hope he understands my code.He glanced at Ash who was still behind me, then grinned. A peck landed on my lips. "No problem. I found you anyway," he said, "what are you doing here? The party is about to start and you should be there to give a welcome.""Oh, I...""Ehem!"I turned to Ash as he cleared his throat loud enough to make me laugh inwardly. It se

(Ash's POV)"Where did you get my phone number?" I heard Freya's voice sounding so annoyed after finding out I was the one who called her.I tighten my grip on my cell phone. I'm equally annoyed by Freya's cold and arrogant attitude towards me. Especially now that she has a child and a husband. Dare to humiliate me and play with my company to make me lose billions. I'm sure he deliberately attracted all my colleagues to make my company go bankrupt. Because she has a grudge against me."From one of the guests," I said. I sat on the single sofa in my room and held a glass of wine."You never change, Mr. Ash. Always being sneaky to get what you want."I growled at her sharp comment. "You're overreacting, Freya. It's not criminal behavior if I want to contact my ex-wife, right?""But I don't want to talk or spend time with you. So, don't ever contact me again or I won't work with your company!""That means you're willing to accept the cooperation I'm offering.""That depends on whether yo
