MR. CEO WANTS HIS EX-WIFE BACK ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN
GRAYSON'S POVI woke up that morning with a clear mission: to be there for Sylvia. Today was crucial, and I knew my presence could influence Judge Edwards to judge fairly. With that thought driving me, I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up, stretching to shake off the remnants of sleep.I made my way out of my room and headed to the kitchen. The house was quiet, the early morning light filtering through the curtains. As I walked, I couldn't help but think about how much was riding on today's hearing. Sylvia needed all the support she could get, and I intended to provide it.In the kitchen, I grabbed a bowl and poured myself some cereal, topping it off with milk. As I ate, I mentally ran through the plan for the day. I would go to the courthouse, show my support, and ensure that Judge Edwards knew I was watching. He needed to know that any unfair judgment wouldn't go unnoticed.Finishing my breakfast, I put the bowl in the sink and took a moment to steady myself.I went

JOCELIA'S POVAs I sat down next to Grayson, I crossed my legs and rested my left hand on his thigh. I glanced around the courtroom, feeling a surge of satisfaction. This was it. Everything was about to unfold just as I had planned.The proceedings began, and Julia Lake, the woman I had strategically planted to ruin Sylvia and her company, was called to the stand. I watched intently as her lawyer approached her with a serious expression, ready to launch into the carefully rehearsed narrative."Ms. Lake, could you please explain to the court how exactly Sylvia Bennett's company almost killed your child and left you bankrupt?" the lawyer asked, his voice somber.Julia took a deep breath, tears welling in her eyes. "I'm a single mother," she began, her voice trembling. "My husband died while in active service. I used his insurance money to purchase a property that Sylvia Bennett's company was selling. They promised me it was safe, that it was a sound investment."She paused for dramatic

SYLVIA'S POVWhen the judge announced a recess, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I desperately needed a breath of fresh air after the stunt Jocelia had pulled. Bringing in someone from my past, someone from my days as "Raven" the stripper, was a low blow, even for her. It was designed to embarrass me, to make me look like an unreliable, untrustworthy person.I glanced around the courtroom, feeling the weight of everyone's eyes on me. Grayson's gaze was concerned, but I couldn't bring myself to meet his eyes for long. Instead, I focused on getting out of the room.Once outside, I took a deep breath, letting the cool air fill my lungs. I walked a few steps away from the building, trying to clear my head. My thoughts were racing. I knew Jocelia would stop at nothing to see me crumble, but I hadn't expected her to go this far."Are you okay?" Lisa, one of my lawyers, asked as she approached me.I nodded, though I didn't feel okay. "I'm fine. Just... that was a lot to take in."Lisa g

GRAYSON'S POVWe finally got back into the courtroom, and I took my seat with a renewed sense of confidence. I knew Sylvia wasn't giving up without a fight, and this pathetic attempt at character assassination by Jocelia proved they had nothing concrete—just fabricated lies for emotional blackmail.I had just finished speaking with some of my board members about pushing Sylvia's company to go public and investing more in it. I believed that after she wins today, it would increase her stock value and boost sales. This trial was a temporary storm, but Sylvia had the resilience and tenacity to weather it.As I sat down, I glanced over at Sylvia. She was talking intently with her lawyers, clearly strategizing their next move. I admired her strength and determination. Despite the odds, she never backed down. Her spirit was unbreakable, and it only made me more certain of my decision to support her both personally and professionally.I noticed Raymond sitting nearby, looking a bit tense but

GRAYSON'S POVAs we stepped out for the recess, a few of the board members I had spoken with earlier approached me. Their expressions were a mix of relief and admiration.“Grayson, you were right,” one of them said. “Sylvia is innocent. With this court hearing being televised live, everyone will see this and support her. It's going to be great for business.”I nodded, feeling a sense of pride. "Exactly. This will not only clear her name but also boost the company's reputation significantly."Just then, my phone buzzed. It was my lawyer. “Grayson, I just watched Sylvia's lawyer dismantle Julia's case. You were right to advise me to step back and let Sylvia handle things. She really didn’t need our help.”I smiled, feeling a wave of satisfaction. “I knew she was confident enough to handle this on her own. She wanted to prove herself, and she's doing just that.”As I hung up, I turned to see Sylvia and Raymond talking a short distance away. Raymond gave her an encouraging nod before head

JOCELIA'S POVI walked back into the courtroom, my nerves steeled for what was to come. I took my seat next to Grayson, who barely acknowledged me. The tension was palpable, but I kept my face composed. The judge entered, and the courtroom fell silent as he began to address us.As he spoke, I glanced at Sylvia. She looked nervous, but there was a glimmer of determination in her eyes. I shifted my focus to Julia, who seemed equally tense. Finally, the judge looked at me, then at Grayson. Grayson leaned forward slightly in his seat, a subtle but intense warning. It unsettled me, but I pushed the feeling aside, confident that I still had the judge in my pocket.The judge continued, "After much deliberation of the evidence presented, this court has reached a verdict." He looked at Julia, then at Sylvia. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.Finally, he said, "Sylvia has been proven innocent of all charges laid against her."For a moment, I couldn’t process what I had just heard

GRAYSON'S POVAs the courtroom began to empty, I was walking with one of my board members when I suddenly remembered Jocelia. I excused myself and told him to start heading back to the office while I checked on her. I found her sitting on a bench, still looking a bit shaken from earlier.“Are you ready to go?” I asked gently.She nodded, and we made our way out of the courthouse together. As soon as we stepped outside, we were swarmed by reporters, their cameras flashing and microphones thrust towards us.“Mr. Lockwood, do you have any comments on today’s verdict?” one of them asked.“Justice has finally been served,” I said firmly. “I’m grateful we can finally put this behind us.”They then turned their attention to Sylvia, who stood poised and composed despite everything she had been through.“This whole court issue has put a strain on my mental health and that of my kids,” Sylvia said, her voice steady. “But I’m happy it is finally over.”A reporter asked, “What will happen to Juli

SYLVIA'S POVAs we walked into the building, the sound of applause caught me off guard. Lisa, my lawyers, our security team, and I were met with a standing ovation from our staff. It was a surreal moment, and I felt a surge of pride and gratitude.“Thank you, thank you,” I said, raising my hands to quiet the crowd. “This victory belongs to all of us. It’s a testament to our hard work, perseverance, and unwavering belief in our mission.”I took a moment to look around at the faces of my team, each one contributing to this moment. “I want to express my deepest gratitude to our incredible staff. You’ve all gone above and beyond, working tirelessly to support our cause. To our brilliant lawyers, thank you for your expertise and relentless fight for justice. Lisa, you’ve been my anchor through all of this. And to our security team, thank you for keeping us safe.”The applause grew louder, echoing through the lobby. I felt a lump in my throat, overwhelmed by their support.“Let’s carry this

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. He slipped his arms around me

SYLVIA'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

ALICE'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

GRAYSON'S POVI stood in front of the mirror, struggling to get my tie just right. No matter how many times I adjusted it, it wouldn’t stay in place. 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. Her hands lingered for a moment before she leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to my lips. I kissed her back, trying

GRAYSON'S POVStepping off the private jet, the crisp New York air hit me with its familiar bite. I inhaled deeply, a mix of relief and anticipation washing over me. My eyes wandered to the tarmac where Sylvia and the kids were just stepping down the jet’s stairs. Zenith and Zendaya, holding onto their mother’s hands, looked up at me with wide, curious eyes.Paul and Stewart stood nearby, their faces lighting up as they saw me approaching. I broke into a smile and headed towards them. Paul extended his arms in a welcoming gesture, and I embraced him warmly. “Good to see you, Paul,” I said, giving him a firm pat on the back. I turned to Stewart, giving him a friendly hug as well. “And you, Stewart. It’s been too long.”As we pulled apart, Stewart nodded. “We have much to discuss. I’m glad you’re back.”Paul and Stewart greeted Sylvia next, and Paul’s eyes softened as he looked at the kids. “Look at you two! You’ve grown so much,” he said, making Zenith and Zendaya giggle and smile shyl

ALICE'S POVI sat at my desk, staring at the email on my desktop screen. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This was a game-changer, a lifeline that I desperately needed. Another company, completely out of the blue, was willing to buy 72% of the shares in Lockwood Corporation. 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. Taking Lockwood public was out of the question, not with the shadows looming over its ownership. But with this offer, I wouldn’t need to go public. 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

SYLVIA'S POVThe night sky was a canvas of flickering lights as I stood there, taking in the beauty of it all. The warm, balmy air of Rio wrapped around me like a comforting blanket, and the sound of music and laughter filled the air. It was a perfect night, a celebration of everything we had worked so hard to achieve. The lighters—thousands of them—filled the sky, their soft glow reflecting the joy and camaraderie that had blossomed within this community.I spotted Grayson on the dance floor, moving with a rhythm and grace that made me smile. He was in his element, completely at ease with the people around him, people who had once been strangers but had now become like family to us. I watched him for a moment, content to observe, to bask in the happiness that radiated from him.But then, as if sensing my gaze, Grayson turned and caught my eye. A mischievous grin spread across his face as he began to make his way toward me. I knew what was coming before he even reached me."No, no, no

ALICE'S POVAs I leaned back in my office chair, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as I signed off on yet another large sum of money being transferred to one of my offshore accounts. It had become a routine by now—a safety net I’d meticulously built over the past year, in case things ever went south. With each transfer, I felt a little more secure, a little more prepared for any surprises that might arise.It had been over a year since anyone had seen or heard from Grayson, Sylvia, or her children. They had vanished without a trace, leaving behind a wake of speculation and rumors. I had my theories about what happened, of course. Perhaps they were hiding, licking their wounds after the disaster that was Sylvia’s trial. Or maybe, just maybe, they were plotting their return, waiting for the perfect moment to strike back. That last thought always sent a chill down my spine, but I quickly dismissed it. They had been gone too long, and I had taken too many precautions to wor

SYLVIA'S POVI stood in the living room, my eyes locked on the bags Grayson had packed for us. They just sat there, lifeless and heavy, like the weight pressing down on my heart. This wasn’t how I imagined our lives would turn out—sneaking away in the dead of night as if we were fugitives. But this wasn’t about starting fresh anymore; it was about survival, about protecting my children from Alice and Konrad. Grayson had made it clear: we had to leave, and we had to leave now.I paced back and forth, anxiety gnawing at me with every passing second. Where were my children? They should have been here by now. My mind raced, pushing away the worst-case scenarios that kept creeping in. What if something had gone wrong? What if we were already too late?A hand touched my shoulder, pulling me from my spiraling thoughts. I turned to see Raymond standing there, his expression calm, yet concerned. “They’ll be fine,” he said, his voice steady, trying to reassure me.I nodded, even though I wasn’t
