Divorcing My Ruthless Husband Extra Chapter 6
Summer’s Point of viewFive years had gone by, Devon and Stefani had, in time, grown up. Steven’s firm had blossomed, yet to remain autonomous of the wealth he worked so hard, I returned from my designer career and became a model for my own designs.We were fortunate enough to find helpers to look after Stefani and Devon, all of them generous and affable. My initial days on the job were grueling since I had never been far away from my kids nor gone more than a day without seeing Steven. I was clueless that modeling would be so demanding, especially with such a tight timeline already in place.A whole week had gone by since I heard Steven’s voice. My time had been packed, bouncing between the studio and rehearsals for this upcoming runways show. All of these late nights had kept me from the ones I care about most - my family. Now that I was back in the studio, all I wanted to do was rush home and wrap my arms around them.“Let’s go!” my makeup artist announced.As she rose to her feet,

Summer’s Point of ViewThe woman laughed out loud, as if she already knew Steven’s wife was shallow. Steven pulled me from behind him, threw his arm around my shoulders, and kissed the top of my brow. Then, he guided me to the woman.“When she found out I'm visiting you today, she insisted on coming along. So, this is Mila, my aunt.” He halted and shifted his eyes to Mila and continued, “Aunty, this is Summer, my wife.”“Why didn’t you tell me?!” I pulled the hem of his coat and whispered.“I had planned on introducing her to you back then, but she had to go back to her country because of an unresolved problem with her company. She just came back today.”The heat of shame rose in my cheeks as I felt like shrinking away from the attention. But then Mila stepped in and took my hand, her grip firm, but gentle. Her eyes were so full of compassion as she held steady eye contact with me and smiled with genuineness."I hope I'm not causing you any undue worry. The reason I so badly want to m

Summer's Point of view"Twinkle twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high. Like a diamond in the sky.""Twinkle twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are~"I was with Devon and Steven while he was singing his song repeatedly, enjoying his time with his ducks in the shower. Devon poured himself into mastering the music for his upcoming recital at school. His enthusiasm was clearly visible through every move he made and facial expression he gave. Even I, watching him from the side, couldn’t help but be enthralled by his spirit. It had only been a few months since he began kindergarten school, yet it seemed like he had already adapted to the whole new environment."Mom, Dad, promise me you won't be late. Please, not this time! I need you there to watch me!" Devon urged, his eyes wide with hope for as he splashed in the water. He spoke with a maturity beyond his years.Of course! His parents had to be present - their absence or lateness would not be t

Summer's Point of ViewStefani and Devon didn't give me attention when we arrived home. I wanted to talk to them but they seemed not ready for it yet. In the end, I waited for Steven to arrived home.I was sitting on the living room, leg crossed, and drinking alcohol when he arrived.He saw me immediately and was about to kiss me when I pushed him with all might as I glared at him. Looking at him just made my heart ache.He beholdat me with exhausted eyes as he spoke, "I told you, I can't leave and needs to—""I have a job too, you know! You can't just leave our child out of your plans like this!" I rose from my seat with fiery indignation and pointed sharply at his chest. My voice was raised in anger, every muscle tense with frustration. But he didn't budge an inch, a stoic facade hiding deeper emotions. "You always prioritize your own work over everything else! Get your priorities straight and focus on us for once!""Why? Are you any different from me? You chose to pursue work, didn

Summer's Point of ViewTime dragged on, and there was still no sign of Steven. I did not expect him to find us so quickly, however, given the fact that he was well-connected, it should have been a rather simple task for him. Could he possibly be doing this deliberately?"When are we going home, Mommy?" Devon inquired as his eye began to deteriorate.As he laid on my lap, I stared at him. I kissed his brow and gently lulled him to sleep. “Why? Do you want to see daddy?"He just nodded till he was completely enveloped in lethargy. On the other hand, I just leaned back and felt as if I were suffering from a headache. I was at a loss for what to do to keep him from constantly asking where his dad was. Fortunately, Stefani was old enough to understand things. She was just reading book and not complaining. However, I was not sure if the situation was burdening her.I wanted Steven to find us as soon as possible. Nevertheless, with no sign of him, it appeared that he bad no desire coming. Si

Summer's Point of View"Let's go upstairs."He tenderly pressed his lips to mine, as if he were handling a fragile piece of glass. I felt every gentle brush of his lips and the sweet savor of his embrace. With one arm around my waist, he carefully lifted me up, bridal-style, and walked me up the stairs."I miss your scent. I'm losing my mind without you at my side," he muffled, his warm breath on my neck, giving me a tickle and releasing thousands of volts. “Like I can go mad every time I wake up in the morning, not seeing you by my side.”With his help, I eased myself onto the soft bed, feeling its gentle support. As I settled in, he positioned himself beside me; the mattress creaking slightly under his weight. In a daze, my gaze fixed on him, my heart pounding so loudly, I could almost hear it in my ears. His face was marked by a rugged handsomeness that couldn't be ignored. Damn this face! I want him all mine.His ardent whisper hovered near my ear. "Wife, each day I wish for you

Steven's Point of ViewThe following morning, I woke up before anyone else. Not wanting to disturb her slumber, I quietly slipped out of the house without informing her. However, before my exit, I prepared breakfast for them, as I had requested the helpers to take their much-deserved vacation.The hours flew by, and before I knew it, night had fallen. Nevertheless, I still had unfinished tasks to complete. As I hurried to work, my phone incessantly rang. Despite the distractions, I made a conscious decision not to answer it. My goal was to finish my work promptly so I could leave early and head home.*Bang* While engrossed in reading the paperwork, the deafening sound of hammering on my door caught me off guard. Startled, I turned my gaze towards the source of the commotion. Just as I glanced towards the door, it swung open abruptly.The scoundrel had the audacity to walk in without so much as asking for permission. My scowl deepened because he was bothering me! I already wanted to g

Steven’s Point of View Upon hearing Celine's line, the previous peace that had settled over my heart was abruptly jolted once again. "Pregnant? Summer is... pregnant?" I asked in disbelief. She gave a silent nod, but the depths of her gaze couldn't quite hide her inner turmoil. I could sense that she didn't want to talk about it, so I hastily looked away and left her in peace.Nonetheless, before I vanished from her sight, she spoke again. "Uh... Mister Carter, please don't worry. Summer and the... baby... are not harm. The doctor simply has to tell you something that you need to know right away."She looked at me now with a reassuring smile, and I could see she was confident. The weight and thorns that had penetrated my hearts had now slowly been removed. "I am grateful to you, for staying with Summer since the beginning, Celine. I owe you a lot." "No thanks are necessary. Summer is near and dear to me, just like a sister. If a brother or sister was in peril, I assume you would

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.

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

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.

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
