Stefani couldn't tear her eyes away from Shaira's message, her mind consumed by the words on her phone. She barely noticed when the car came to a stop and Jacob opened the door for her. It was only when he raised an eyebrow, questioning her silence, that she finally turned her attention towards him. With a smile, she stepped out of the car.As they walked together, Jacob wrapped his arm around her waist, concern etched on his face. "You look pale. Are you okay? If you're not feeling well, I can take over your work and send you home."Shaking her head, Stefani reassured him, "I'm fine. I'm just trying to remember everything you've taught me about work.""I'm glad you're now enjoying working but remember not to push yourself too hard. Take it one step at a time, and you'll learn everything," Jacob advised, his voice filled with encouragement.Stefani chuckled, but her mind was still preoccupied with Shaira's message. As they reached the top floor, she caught sight of Shaira's back and f

"I'm sorry, Niana, but I can't join you. As I mentioned before, I have other responsibilities to attend to," Stefani said to her best friend on the phone.Niana was asking her to come at the party later. But because of what happened between Piolo and Jacob, she didn't want that to happen again."Shall we go?" Stefani glanced up and noticed Jacob descending the stairs. She nodded and was about to head off and end the call when Niana interjected once again, this time playfully. "So, you're able to decline your best friend's invitation now because you're busy with your husband, huh?" "It's not like that, Niana. I promise, I'm working..." "Alright, I won't pressure you to share details. But let me ask you something," Niana said mischievously. "What?" "Have you and Jacob already... you know... sex." "You bitch! Goodbye!" Stefani's face turned red, and she promptly ended the call since it was on speakerphone, and Jacob most likely overheard everything.She slowly shifted her head towa

When they entered the building, all eyes turned towards them in disbelief, and whispers filled the air. "Is that Mr. and Mrs. Hansley's son? Why is he already grown up? Did he get her pregnant while she's still underage?" "Shh! Mr. Hansley might hear you!" "I had no idea they already had a child?! So adorable! The boy is so cute! But it looks like our CEO has some questionable preferences!" “Preferences? You mean a pedophile?!” “You guys! He can hear you! Stop it or you’ll lose your jobs!” Jacob wanted to confront them about their gossip, but he decided to keep quiet. He wasn't foolish enough to impregnate a minor, even if he was head over heels for Stefani. He didn't want to risk his life by angering Steven. ‘But since Stefani is no longer a minor… who knows?’ Jacob felt chills after thinking about that and immediately shook the idea away. As they settled into the office, he immediately went to his desk to finish the documents he had left unfinished the night before. Meanwhi

Stefani found herself momentarily stunned as she locked eyes with Jacob, completely oblivious to the presence of others around them. Their intense gaze only broke when Harold returned, wearing a somber expression as he held a piece of food for the tiger."I couldn't give this to the tiger..." Harold murmured, glancing back at the other children being carried by their fathers to reach the majestic creature. "I need to be taller..."Jacob, though visibly annoyed, looked down at Harold and without hesitation, lifted him onto his shoulders. "What about this height? Can you feed it now?"Harold was taken aback by Jacob's unexpected gesture, but he nodded in response. Stefani, observing the scene, felt a flutter in her heart and a sudden thought crossed her mind.‘Could he also be a wonderful father... to our children?’However, before she could delve deeper into her thoughts, her phone rang, interrupting her. Without taking her eyes off Jacob and Harold, she answered the call, seeing that

Shaira's world crumbled before her eyes, leaving her paralyzed. The silence that followed only intensified Stefani's fear.Just as Shaira was beginning to recover from the shock, the elevator doors opened. Stefani was about to escape but without hesitation, Shaira grabbed her by the hair and forcefully pushed her back inside, causing her to collide with the railing and fell to the ground."F*ck you, Stefani! You can't manipulate me like this! How the hell did you expect me to react, you damn b*tch!" Shaira's anger knew no bounds, her face flushed with rage. "You won't make a fool out of me!"Stefani attempted to stand, but the pain in her back prevented her from doing so. A single tear escaped the corner of her eye as she bravely locked eyes with Shaira and retorted, "Shaira, I never played with your emotions! But you need to understand that Jacob is my husband, and I have more rights than you! It was foolish of me to consider your feelings before my own. I almost lost my husband..."

Chapter 1Their kiss lingered, stretching out in time. Jacob's kisses were forceful, matching Stefani's intensity. He pressed her against the table, sweeping away the papers and delving his hands beneath her dress.Stefani blushed, feeling a mix of excitement and self-consciousness. She didn't protest, instead wrapping her arms around his neck. This was the longest kiss she had ever experienced, venturing beyond the realm of simple French or peck kisses.As her breath grew shallow, she gently pushed against his chest. But Jacob, like a ravenous lion, remained unyielding, savoring the taste of her lips like a delectable treat. She tapped his chest repeatedly, eventually resorting to tilting her head to the side for air."I-I can't...breathe," she managed to gasp, her eyes locked with his in a dazed, intoxicated gaze.Yet, Jacob's hunger remained unabated. He leaned in for another kiss, but Stefani abruptly stood up, adjusting her disheveled dress. Her face flushed like a ripe tomato."

"I've heard from Liam that things are going much better between you and Jacob. Have you decided to focus solely on your relationship with him instead of worrying about others?" Summer asked, her brush gliding across the canvas."So Liam is your spy now, huh?" Stefani joked."Everyone is my spy in Carter Group. Even I don't show up, I have many eyes and ears! I will know everything!"They were at the beach, painting in the early hours of the morning. It was Sunday, and Stefani and Jacob didn't have work.Stefani chuckled at her mother's comment, continuing to paint as she replied, "I'm not entirely sure, but all I know is that I'm happy with him now and I don't want that to change. Everything just feels right... and I don't want that to end.""Oh, sweetie, those are just the words of someone experiencing love for the first time, aren't they?" Summer grinned, pausing her painting to face Stefani. "But everything comes to an end. Everything needs their end."Stefani's hand holding the br

"Ahh..." Stefani let out a soft whimper, her delicate lips parting as Jaxon's hand slowly made its way from her stomach to her chest. His touch was warm and commanding, but he knew he had to be patient, not wanting to frighten her.His voice was barely a whisper as he murmured, "So soft..." His lips grazed her earlobe, sending shivers down her spine."Ugh...!" Unable to contain herself any longer, Stefani released a breathy moan, completely lost in the pleasure that consumed her. She clung to Jaxon, her limbs entwined with his, her eyes glazed over with desire. "J-Jaxon..."Under the gentle glow of the moon, Jaxon locked eyes with her, knowing that tonight was the beginning of something extraordinary. The moon bore witness to their intentions, its silent presence a testament to the passion that awaited them.Jacob tenderly kissed her forehead, then trailed his lips down to her nose and finally to her lips. The taste of her lips was like a delectable delicacy, causing his senses to i

The house was aglow with festive cheer. Warm lights twinkled on the Christmas tree, and the scent of cinnamon, pine, and freshly baked cookies filled the air. Stefani stood in the kitchen, putting the final touches on a tray of cupcakes. The sound of laughter and chatter echoed through the living room, where both sides of the family—hers and Jacob’s—had gathered for the holidays.This was exactly how she had always imagined it—a full house, filled with the people she loved most. The twins, Elara and Ethan, were playing with their new toys, their excitement bubbling over as they showed their grandparents everything Santa had brought.

Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 104: The Twins’ 5th Birthday Celebration
The warm sunlight streamed through the curtains as Stefani stretched, listening to the excited giggles from down the hall. Today was a special day, one she had been anticipating for weeks—Ethan and Elara's fifth birthday. Five years. Stefani could hardly believe how quickly time had flown. It felt like just yesterday she was cradling two tiny newborns in her arms, overwhelmed with love and exhaustion. Now, they were running around the house, full of energy and life, growing faster than she ever thought possible.The house buzzed with activity as Stefani got ready. Balloons lined the walls, colorful streamers were draped across the ceiling, and the smell of freshly baked cake filled the air. Today wasn’t just about celebrating the twins; it was also about celebrating how far their family had come—through sleepless nights, laughter-filled days, and moments that had tested them but ultimately brought them closer.“Mommy!” Elara’s voice echoed down the hallway, followed by the sound of li
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 103: A Surprise for Jacob’s Milestone
Stefani’s heart fluttered with excitement as she paced the living room, her phone clutched tightly in her hand. She glanced at the clock for the hundredth time, mentally calculating the minutes left before Jacob was supposed to arrive. The house had been transformed into a celebration space, a labor of love that had taken weeks of planning and countless late nights spent coordinating with friends and family. The air was thick with anticipation, and the only thing left to do was wait for the guest of honor to walk through the door.Jacob had reached a major milestone in his career—winning a prestigious award for excellence in business management, something that had been his goal for years. It was a recognition of his hard work, long hours, and dedication, but more than that, it was a symbol of how far he had come. Stefani had watched him pour his heart and soul into his work, even though he once lost sight of their family.So, when she heard about the award, Stefani knew she had to cel
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 102: Stefani’s Business Launch
The sun was just starting to rise, casting a golden glow over the city, but Stefani had been up for hours. Her heart raced with a mixture of excitement and nerves as she stood in front of the mirror, brushing her hair and making final adjustments to her outfit. Today was the day. After years of dreaming, planning, and putting it off for her family, she was about to open her very own bakery.Stefani had always loved baking. It was more than a hobby for her; it was a passion, a way to express her creativity and share joy with others. From the time she was little, she would spend hours in the kitchen, covered in flour and experimenting with different flavors. But as life moved forward—marriage, children, and all the responsibilities that came with them—her dream of opening her own bakery had taken a back seat.Until now.Jacob had been her biggest supporter, urging her to follow her heart and make this dream a reality. He’d helped her find the perfect location for the bakery—a charming l

The school auditorium buzzed with excitement, filled with the soft murmur of parents, teachers, and children waiting for the talent show to begin. Stefani sat beside Jacob in the front row, her heart racing with a mix of pride and anticipation. She held Jacob’s hand tightly, glancing at the small stage where, in just a few moments, Ethan and Elara would perform in their first-ever talent show.The twins, now five years old, had been practicing for weeks. Every day after school, Stefani and Jacob would find them in the living room, dancing, singing, and occasionally arguing over who got to lead. It had been a rollercoaster of giggles, minor frustrations, and endless rehearsals. Now, the big day had finally arrived.Stefani shifted in her seat, excitement bubbling in her chest as she watched the children backstage. "I can't believe our babies are up there," she whispered to Jacob, her voice filled with awe. "It feels like just yesterday they were learning to walk."Jacob smiled, squeezi
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 100: Family Vacation and Renewed Vows
The gentle breeze rolled off the sea, carrying with it the salty freshness of the ocean. The sun hung low on the horizon, casting a golden glow over the pristine sands of the island they had just arrived on. It felt surreal to Stefani—the beauty of the place, the laughter of her children echoing in the air as Ethan and Elara chased each other down the shore. This island was nothing like anywhere they had been before, and for the first time in a long while, Stefani felt the worries of everyday life slip away.Jacob stood beside her, his eyes locked on the twins with a soft smile tugging at his lips. “It’s beautiful here, isn’t it?” he asked, his voice warm.Stefani nodded, her fingers lacing through his as she leaned into him. “It’s perfect,” she whispered. “I can’t believe we’re actually here. No work, no stress—just us.”He glanced down at her, something unreadable in his expression. “That’s exactly what I wanted, Stef. Just us. We’ve been through a lot, and I thought we could use so
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 99: The Breaking Point
It was a Wednesday afternoon when Stefani sat by the window, staring out at the garden while Elara and Ethan played outside. Their laughter echoed through the yard, but Stefani couldn’t find it in herself to join in. Her mind was miles away, consumed by the growing distance between her and Jacob.Days had turned into weeks since their last conversation about his workaholic tendencies, and though Jacob had apologized and promised to do better, nothing had changed. He was still coming home late, still missing family dinners, and still buried in projects that seemed more important than their family.The door opened, and Jacob walked in, looking as exhausted as ever. His tie hung loosely around his neck, and his shirt was wrinkled from a long day at the office. He glanced at Stefani, his eyes filled with that same apologetic look she had grown used to."Hey," he greeted her, dropping his briefcase by the door. "Sorry I'm late again. The meeting ran longer than expected."Stefani sighed, h
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 98: Work, Distance, and Heartache
Stefani sat at the dinner table, her eyes tracing the empty seat across from her. The warm glow from the chandelier above felt dim compared to the brightness that used to fill their family meals. It wasn’t the first night Jacob had missed dinner, but it felt like the hundredth. His absence weighed heavily on her heart, an unspoken distance growing between them.Elara and Ethan, now five, chatted animatedly as they poked at their food, their little voices filling the silence Jacob had left behind. Stefani tried to focus on their laughter, their joy, but her mind kept drifting back to the clock on the wall, ticking louder and louder with every passing second. Each tick felt like a reminder that Jacob was missing yet another evening with his family.“Mommy, when is Daddy coming home?” Ethan’s soft voice cut through her thoughts. His big brown eyes were filled with innocent hope, the kind that still believed his father would walk through the door at any moment.Stefani’s heart clenched. S
Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Chapter 97: Stefani’s Growing Insecurities
Stefani sat by the window in their bedroom, watching the sunset as the soft orange hues danced across the horizon. The house was unusually quiet, save for the distant laughter of their children playing in the living room with their grandparents. She sighed, clutching her phone as her thumb hovered over Jacob’s contact.It had only been a few hours since she last saw him. He had left early in the morning for a meeting, and now the day was fading into night, with no sign of him returning. She knew Jacob loved her deeply, and she had no reason to doubt his loyalty. But still, the whisper of insecurities crawled into her mind ever since Olivia started working in his office.Despite Jacob’s reassurances and the fact that Olivia no longer bothered him, Stefani couldn't help but feel unsettled. She had always been confident in their relationship, but lately, small things seemed to gnaw at her sense of security. The little voice in her head was louder than usual.What if Olivia is still aroun
