Mommy, Is The CEO Our Daddy? The Return Of The Ex-Wife Chapter 39 - The Trap
David wearily made his way out of the festivities room, feeling drained and emotionally exhausted from the evening's events.As he walked, a waiter approached him with a tray of wine glasses. David recognized his favorite vintage, a Château Lafite Rothschild, and eagerly accepted the glass.The rich, exquisite taste provided a small measure of comfort, and he downed the wine in one go.Heading straight to his room, David barely had the energy to kick off his shoes before he collapsed onto the bed, falling into a deep sleep almost immediately.The morning sun streaming through the curtains woke David with a start. Groaning, he looked at the clock; it was already 8 a.m.He had a splitting headache and was disoriented from the sudden awakening. To his surprise, he noticed that he was naked underneath the blanket.‘Damn, it’s already late!’Remembering that he and Sienna had another presentation for the summit at 10 a.m., he scrambled out of bed and prepared to take a shower.As he grabbe

Sienna's voice was ice-cold as she spoke. "I'll wait for you downstairs. I don't want to be in the same room with you right now."David's heart ached at her words, but he couldn't blame her for her anger. He watched as she left the room, the door closing behind her with a soft click.He was left alone with his thoughts and fears. He quickly dressed, his mind racing as he tried to figure out how to prove his innocence. He needed to inquire about the hotel security and whoever had access to his room in his absence.As he was about to leave the room, his phone rang. It was his assistant."Paul, what is it?" He asked, his voice tense and impatient."Uh, Mr. Hendrix, I... I have the results of the analysis you requested," Paul stuttered, clearly nervous about delivering the news."Well? What did you find?" David demanded, his patience wearing thin."Sir, I'm not sure how to say this, but... the photos are not fake. They haven't been altered in any way," Paul said hesitantly.David's heart

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the lovely Sienna Hamilton," Scarlett drawled, her eyes gleaming with mischief. Eric chimed in, "You know, we saw David looking quite upset earlier. I wonder what could have caused that." Sienna rolled her eyes, not in the mood for their childish games. "What do you two want? I have better things to do than to entertain your nonsense." Scarlett feigned innocence, placing a hand on her chest. "Oh, we just wanted to see how you were doing, considering the little scene on the dance floor last night." Sienna's jaw clenched, annoyed by their persistence. "My life is none of your business. Why don't you two find something better to do?" ‘Should I ask Shane to take care of these pests? Nah, they aren’t even worth the trouble!’ Eric raised an eyebrow, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Wow, you're really on edge today. Something must have happened." Just as Sienna was about to retort, Jaxon appeared beside her, placing a protective arm around her shoulders.

David's heart sank, and he struggled to maintain his composure. "What? That's not possible. I don't remember any of it."The timid security employee held his ground but appeared nervous under David's scrutiny. "I'm sorry, sir, but I'm certain it was you. I can't say what happened inside the room, but I saw you both enter."David felt his world crumbling around him. If the security employee was telling the truth, then it meant that he had been with that woman, even if he couldn't remember it.He couldn't fathom how it had happened, and the implications were devastating."Why didn't you report this sooner?" David demanded, his voice shaking.The security employee looked even more uncomfortable, visibly intimidated by David's imposing presence.“I’m sorry, sir, but you asked if someone entered the room in your absence. I never believed you didn't know who…” The employee didn’t continue, as his boss hissed at him for overstepping.David clenched his fists, his mind racing with unanswered

Eric and Scarlett, both frightened and furious, hastily dialed Lyra's number to complain about the situation they found themselves in after messing with Sienna."Lyra, you won't believe what just happened!" Scarlett exclaimed, her voice a mixture of anger and disbelief."What's wrong?" Lyra asked, genuinely curious about what had transpired. She was sitting on pins and needles, her mind racing with the most absurd scenarios involving David and Sienna."Our families just scolded us because of that Sienna Hamilton!" Eric chimed in, his voice trembling with rage. "How come you never told us she's the owner of Phoenix International Group?"Lyra hesitated before responding, "Honestly, I didn't know. I'm just as surprised as you are."‘Just how many companies do the Hamiltons own? Well, at least, there is no development regarding David and Sienna.’'Of course, you didn't know. It's always about you, isn't it?' Scarlett thought bitterly, as she clenched her fists in frustration."Well, you s
Mommy, Is The CEO Our Daddy? The Return Of The Ex-Wife Chapter 44 - Vulnerable
The night festivities proceeded without any hiccups, and Eric and Scarlett did not dare to provoke Sienna any further. They had learned their lesson the hard way and now kept their distance. David, too, couldn't bring himself to approach her, embarrassment and confusion weighing heavily on him. He couldn't shake the haunting images of the photos and the possibility of his own culpability. As the evening progressed, Sienna seemed to enjoy herself, surrounded by business elites, and occasionally sharing a laugh with Jaxon. David's jealousy simmered beneath the surface as he watched them from afar. The distance between them had never felt more palpable, and he was at a loss for how to bridge the gap. He couldn't help but wonder how everything had spiraled so far out of control. In his heart, he knew he couldn't have done such a thing, but the evidence was overwhelming. 'How did I end up in this mess?' he thought, his mind racing with unanswered questions and swirling emotions. The n

‘No, I must be mistaken. She couldn’t possibly have the same birthmark as Kate. My mind is playing tricks on me, as my ex-wife is the only naked woman I’ve seen before.’The atmosphere within the private jet remained tense for the rest of the flight, with Sienna sequestering herself in the bedroom and David doing his best to focus on work in the main cabin.Both of them were acutely aware of the unspoken tension that hung in the air like a thick fog, but neither knew how to address it or break the silence.When the plane finally landed, Sienna wasted no time in gathering her belongings and making her way to the exit. David, sensing her haste to be away from the awkward situation, hurried to collect his things as well.Their goodbyes were brief and formal, a stark contrast to the lingering looks and unspoken emotions that had passed between them just hours before."Have a safe trip home, Sienna," David said, his voice stiff and distant."You too, David," she replied, her eyes barely me

His parents looked at him with a mixture of shock, disappointment, and confusion.Lyra's face, however, was a mask of hurt and betrayal. Her eyes, usually filled with warmth and love for him, now held only the cold fire of anger and pain."David," Lyra's voice trembled as she spoke, fighting back tears. "How could you? How could you do this to me? To us?""I… I didn't… I swear, I don't know how this happened," David stammered, desperately trying to find the words to explain the inexplicable. "I don't even know who that woman is."But his protestations fell on deaf ears. The damage was done, and the evidence was right there on the screen for all to see. He felt his world crumbling around him, the foundation of his life shaken by this unforeseen revelation.As the tension in the room grew, and the silence became deafening, he knew that his life would never be the same again.The trust that had once bound his family and fiancée together had been shattered, and there was no going back.Ly

Their room was a symphony of shadows, illuminated only by the pale glow of the moon that peered in through their window.Grandma Kate had left, convinced that her bedtime story had sent Xander and Bella off to Dreamland. The door had hardly closed behind her when the two five-year-old cuties started whispering."Pretending to sleep always works," Bella said, her voice filled with mirth. "We're such good actors, Xander.""Shhh! She'll hear us," the little boy cautioned, although a broad grin was plastered across his face."Let's see where Mommy and Daddy are now," Bella suggested, her curiosity piqued.She reached under her pillow and pulled out their secret weapon - a tablet.

As they made their way to the stage, the room fell into stunned silence."Lyra Whitmore, you are under arrest," announced one of the officers, a tall, serious-looking woman. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop as the officer continued, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law..."Lyra's mouth fell open in disbelief, her confidence before the show now replaced with panic."This is absurd!
