Ivery’s POV.To my complete and utter shock, the man sitting at the table waiting for me was none other than Franco himself. My mind was reeling, and my heart started pounding in my chest. What on earth was he doing here? I couldn't even begin to process the situation. Was this some kind of cruel joke? Or was it a sign that we were meant to be together?I turned around, ready to leave the restaurant without a word. But just as I was about to walk out the door, I heard Franco call out.“Wait!” I froze, my heart pounding in my chest. Should I listen to what he had to say? Or should I just run as fast as I could in the opposite direction?I heard the sound of his footsteps approaching, and then he was standing right behind me. “Please don't go,” he begged, his voice pleading. I felt my resolve start to crumble, my feet rooted to the spot. I turned around slowly, my heart pounding in my chest, and I looked him in the eyes. What would I say?“Do you think you can control me?” I asked him

Franco’s POV.I knew that getting Ivery to forgive me was going to be hard. I had hurt her deeply, and I knew that my words might not be enough to make things right. But I loved her more than anything, and I just wanted her to know how sorry I was. I wanted to tell her how much she meant to me, but the words wouldn't come. I felt like I was stuck, unable to express what was in my heart.I knew that pursuing a relationship with Blair would only make her life more complicated. As much as I loved her, I knew that we couldn't be together as long as Diva was still around. I can’t choose between both of them, and I couldn't bear the thought of her being unhappy. But at the same time, I was unable to let go of the feelings I had for her. It was a complicated and painful situation, with no easy answers. When Ivery had woken up from her coma, it had been the happiest day of my life. I was so relieved to see her eyes open, to hear her voice again. But that happiness had been short-lived,

I knew that he had made a mistake, but I wasn't certain if it was a mistake that I could forgive. He had hurt me, and I wasn't sure if I could trust him again. I needed to take some time to think about it, but I was struggling to sort through my emotions. I was almost done with my work when my phone rang, showing an unknown ID. I hesitated, wondering whether I should pick it up or not. I knew that it could be anything from a sales call to an important message.

I forced myself to focus on the matter at hand, reminding myself that I should stop staring. But it was hard not to be distracted by Franco's handsome physique. “Damn, how can one man be this handsome?” I thought to myself, unable to stop my mind from wandering. Franco picked up a black Apron and wrapped it around his body, accentuating his muscles even more. I tried to focus on the serious matter at hand, but my mind kept drifting back to Franco. I was having trouble concentrating, and I knew that I needed to get a grip on myself. I had to focus on the food I was preparing, and I couldn't afford to let myself be distracted.“Watch it!” Franco said to me, pointing to the pancake I was making.

Ivery’s POV.“You can sleep in my room,” I said, surprising even myself. I could see that he was taken aback by my offer, and he asked, “Are you sure you're okay with that?” I nodded, trying to appear more confident than I felt. I knew that I was blushing, and I hoped he couldn't see it in the dim light. But I also knew that I couldn't take back my offer now, so I tried to just act natural.He followed me into the room, and we both climbed into the bed. I could feel my heart racing as he got closer, and I tried to take deep breaths to calm myself down. I positioned a pillow in the middle of the bed, creating a barrier between us. I could tell that he was trying to make me feel comfortable, and I appreciated it. But I could also feel the electricity between us, and it was making me nervous.“Good night,” I whispered as I turned away from him and tried to fall asleep. But sleep refused to come. I tossed and turned, my mind racing with thoughts of what had happened earlier that nigh

I couldn't hear what he was saying, but I could tell it was something serious. My mind raced with questions and concerns. I wanted to ask him what was wrong, but I was afraid to interrupt. I felt powerless, unable to do anything but watch and wait.My kids had stopped eating, their eyes wide with concern. “What's wrong?” I asked them. “What's going on with Uncle Franco?” They looked at me with confusion and worry. I could tell they were concerned, but I would rather not alarm them. So I lied, “It's nothing, he's just on a business call.” I forced a smile, hoping they would believe me. But I could tell they were still uneasy.Cassandra looked at me with a probing gaze. “Is anything wrong with Uncle Franco's business?” she asked. I took a deep breath, trying to keep my composure. “No, of course no

Ivery's POV.“So you brought your estranged wife?” Diva's mother said, her voice dripping with hatred. I could hear the distaste in her tone, and I knew it was directed at me.“I would love it if you had said you brought a friend rather than estranged,” he said, his voice firm. “She's a friend.” Her mother scoffed. “You expect me to believe that?” she said, her voice dripping with skepticism. I sighed, knowing that this would be a very long night.“Well, she's just a friend,” Franco said, trying to keep his voice calm. “You can believe whatever you want, but it's the truth.” “The last time we believed you, it was a mess,” she said, her voice mocking. I winced at her words, knowing she was referring to my contract marriage. “It was a contract marriage, so partially I didn't lie,” he said, trying to defend himself. “You knew what you were getting into.” “You lied by omission,” she said, her voice cold. “You told me you were married for five years. What about that, So yes, you did

I was tired of staying here or causing more troubles, as they assumed I just wanted to go.“Someone must have said something to you,” he said, his voice laced with concern. “I know Mrs. Diva doesn't like you.I shook my head, feeling overwhelmed. “It's not just her,” I said, my voice trembling. “I feel like everyone is against me, like I

The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife What do you want to tell me
Ivery’s POV.“Ladies first,” he said with a sly smile. I nodded, taking a deep breath. I reached into my purse and pulled out my phone, my hands shaking slightly.

I held out the phone, my heart pounding in my chest.“Take a look,” I said, my voice trembling. He took the phone from me, a look of confusion on his face. He held it up to his eyes, staring at the screen. At first, he didn't seem to understand what he was looking at. Then, his eyes widened, his jaw dropping slightly.

The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife You go first
Ivery’s POV.Franco's behavior had been puzzling me for a while. He seemed to be acting differently, but I couldn't tell if I was just imagining things or if there was something actually going on. He had been spending more time with the kids, and sporadically they even slept over. Was I reading too much into it, or was there something more going on? I couldn't help but wonder if there was something I was missing, some hidden meaning that I just couldn't see.At first, I was afraid to let them sleep over. I didn't want them to accidentally spill the truth about me being their mother. But they had promised me that they wouldn't say anything, and I believed them.

The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife What’s wrong?
Franco’s POV.“You are the father,” the doctor said, his voice steady and matter-of-fact. I felt like the ground was falling out from under me.

I nodded, my mind whirling with thoughts and questions. “When do you think the transplant was?” I asked, trying to put the pieces together.

Franco’s POV.I stared at the report, my eyes scanning the words, but unable to make sense of it. The medical jargon was confusing and unfamiliar.

But his words did nothing to ease my anxiety. I felt overwhelmed and confused.“How’s this possible?” I asked confused.“ Because you are the father of the child,” he said.I let out a sarcastic laugh. “How can I be the father of the child?” I asked incredulously. “Does this doctor understand how biology works?” My voice was tinged with anger and disbelief. It was impossible, I was sure of it. But the doctor looked at me calmly, and said, “I understand your skepticism, but there is no doubt that you are the father of this child. Your DNA matches perfectly.” I felt my world spinning, my mind reeling. How could this be?“Ivery told me that she wasn't the mother of the kids,” I said, my
