The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Meeting Franco
Ivery's POV. In a blur of movement, my kids were suddenly gone, racing through the crowd like track stars. I was frozen in place, my jaw dropped, and my heart was pounding like a drum. And then I saw him, clear as day. Franco. He was chatting with a woman, looking like he didn't have a care in the world. But my kids were already swarming him like a pack of puppies, their excitement palpable in the air.From afar, I could see the gears turning in Franco's head, his face going from shock to confusion to…resignation. He stiffened at first, unsure of how to react to the mini mob of children clinging to him, but then his shoulders relaxed and a half-smile tugged at the corners of his lips. He gingerly returned the hugs, his body language communicating his unease as he glanced around, hoping no one recognized him.I strode toward the trio, my apology already on the tip of my tongue. As I reached them, I could feel the heat of embarrassment flushing my cheeks, but I powered through. “I'
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Did they just call you mummy?
Ivery's POV. As I sat there, transfixed by our gaze, a million thoughts flitted through my mind like fireflies at night. I could feel my heart racing, each beat pulsing in your ears like a drumbeat. My senses were heightened, every detail of Franco's face was suddenly crystal clear. The crease of his brow, the tilt of his lips, the glint in his eye. It was like time had slowed down, and we were both caught in a moment that felt like an eternity.“Well, it's not only your mentor that has that color of eyes, even my dad had the same color of eyes,” I lied. The words tumbled out of my mouth before I could even process what I was saying. The room seemed to spin around me, the air heavy with the weight of the confession. I saw a shock ripple across Franco's face, and I knew I'd blown it. It felt like the floor had just given way beneath me, my stomach dropping like an elevator without brakes.“Wow! You never told us,” Caden said. His voice was full of surprise and a little doubt. I f
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Spending a time with Franco
Ivery's POV. I was caught in a tidal wave of bewilderment. My mind was swirling, grasping for any explanation. I tried to speak, but the words caught in my throat. “I thought you were their aunt, he said. I watched as Franco's brow furrowed, and I could see the wheels turning in his head. “I- I'm not their aunt," I managed to stammer out, my voice cracking.His widened eyes betrayed his surprise. The air felt charged, heavy with the weight of this revelation. I knew I had to explain myself, but the words were failing me. My tongue felt like a heavy stone in my mouth. I opened my mouth to speak, but all that came out was a pathetic croak. I cleared my throat and tried again, “It's… complicated,” I whispered, and forged ahead, determined to explain. “I'm not their biological mother,” I began, my voice quavering a bit. “But I'm like a mother figure to them. I care for them deeply, but I don't consider myself their aunt.” The words hung in the air like a cloud, waiting to be abso
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife We don’t mind if he’s out daddy
Ivery's POV. My memories of the past loomed large, even though I had made peace with what had happened. But those experiences shaped me, and I couldn't deny their influence on the present. While forgiveness had provided closure, my history with him still colored my perspective, serving as a reference point for how far I had come and how much I'd grown.Franco's engagement created a whole new set of complications, and the possibility of a connection with the kids seemed like a distant dream. It was like a punch to the gut, leaving me reeling and unsure of what to do next. The future suddenly felt murky and uncertain, and I struggled to make sense of it all. I had to be strategic. Spilling the beans to Franco felt like a recipe for chaos, and I wasn't about to stir that pot. No way, no how. I knew I needed to focus on myself and protect my mental well-being. So I kept my lips sealed, determined to create the calm I needed. It wasn't easy, but it was necessary.With a deep breath, I
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Going to meet Diva
Ivery's POV. I rolled out of bed like a zombie, feeling like I hadn't slept a wink. But there was no time for snoozing – today was going to be a tough one. I grudgingly trudged through my morning routine, every step feeling like it was being weighed down by lead. “Come on brain, get with the program!” I groaned inwardly, willing myself to snap out of this haze.I speed-showered, threw on some clothes, and made a beeline for the door. I couldn't even think about breakfast – there just wasn't time. My kids were still snoozing, but I knew they'd be okay without me. I had more important things to do – like trying to stay awake at work! As I raced out of the house, my mind was a jumble of thoughts, but one thing was clear: Today was going to be a struggle.As I shuffled into the office, I was greeted by the warm smile of the receptionist. “Good morning!” she chirped, a glint of positivity in her eyes. Her cheerful demeanor was like a shot of caffeine straight to my soul – suddenly, t
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife You’re just his bed warmer
Ivery's POV. Just when I thought I was in for a showdown, Diva burst out laughing, catching me completely off guard. My confusion only seemed to fuel her amusement, and she doubled over with mirth, tears streaming down her face. I just stood there, frozen in place, my mouth hanging open like a bewildered fish. What on earth was so funny? And why did I suddenly feel like the butt of a cosmic joke? As if things couldn't get any weirder, Diva suddenly pulled out an engagement ring and slipped it onto her finger, her eyes never leaving mine. It was like a slap to the face, a silent “ha-ha” that sent my head spinning. Was this some kind of twisted power play? A show of dominance? Or was she just messing with me for kicks? I was so confused and hurt that I could barely process what was happening.“See who is here, Franco's bed warmer,” she said, in a mocking tune. “Franco… bed warmer…?” I whispered, repeating her words. Feeling like I'd just been slapped with a wet fish. I stood ther
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Something to cure her rage
Diva's POV. I stumbled backward, my eyes wide with disbelief and my cheeks burning with the sting of the blow. The air was thick with tension and anticipation, and the sound of her ragged breathing was the only thing that broke the silence.I watched as she fumbled with her phone, I caught a glimpse of the screen – and my heart dropped into my stomach. There, staring back at me, was a photo of Ivery, Franco, and a couple of kids. The picture was innocent enough, but the implication was clear: she was using Franco as leverage against me. My mind reeled, trying to process this new information and what it meant for the dynamic between us. This wasn't just a battle of wits anymore – this was personal.With a smug smirk on her face, she turned and sauntered towards the door, her words hanging in the air like a cloud of poison. “And just so you know, sweetheart, as long as Franco's running things around here, I'm untouchable. Don't forget that.”With a swish of her skirt and a toss of h
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Pushing her hard

My heart pounded in my chest, and I could feel a sense of urgency pulsing through my veins. I felt like I was on a mission, driven by some invisible force, and nothing could stop me now.I practically flew through the mansion, my feet a blur as I navigated the winding hallways and grand rooms. I was moving with speed and determination that would make an Olympian sprinter look like a sloth. If someone were chasing me, they'd have had a heck of a time catching up – I was a one-woman whirlwind!Just as I reached the entrance to Franco's room, a petite maid appeared out of nowhere, like a tiny but determined roadblock. She stood firm, her hands planted on her hips and her face set in a steely expression. I groaned inwardly – of all the times to be interrupted! I wondered what she wanted, but I knew I had to find out, no matter how impatien

The sound of the running water was soothing, and I took a moment to relax, enjoying the sensation of the warm water on my skin.I looked down at the ring on my finger, still in a bit of disbelief.

I stood there, my heart racing, as the sound of the bells filled the air. It was a sound I would never forget, and it marked the beginning of a new life for me and my family. I stared at myself in the mirror, taking in the sight of the white wedding gown I was wearing. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, and I felt like I was in a dream.

I looked at the door, waiting for the moment I would walk down the aisle.My mother, Cassy, and Owen, entered the room. "You look beautiful, my dear," my mother said, smiling at me.

The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Will you marry me?
Ivery’s POV.There, in my hands, was the DNA test, the results undeniable. Franco was the father of my children. How had he found out? Why had he been so silent all this time?

I had to be strong.As I tried to calm myself, I felt a bead of sweat roll down my forehead. My hands trembled, and the room suddenly felt stiflingly hot. I looked up and my eyes met Franco's.

But I didn't know if I could face him right now, with everything I had just discovered.The silence was broken by a question from Franco. "How long did you plan on keeping this from me?" he asked, his voice low and calm. I didn't know what to say, so I remained silent. I looked at everything in the room but him
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 fumbled with the screen, unlocking it and opening the video gallery. There it was, the video of Diva in his penthouse trying to force him to sign the check. 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. After all, they were mature for their age and I trusted them. Still, I couldn't help but worry about what would happen if they did accidentally reveal the truth. Would it ruin our relationship? Would everything fall apart?The truth felt like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment. I knew that the longer I kept it
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 quickly closed the door behind me, not wanting Ivery to overhear. “Let's go to your office,” I said, my voice trembling as I tried to keep my composure. We walked to the office, my heart pounding in my chest. I knew I was about to receive the biggest news of my life.The doctor closed the door, and I blurted out the question that had been burning in my mind. “Can you run a DNA test on Ivery?” I asked, my voice trembling. I knew it sounded foolish, but I needed to be certain. I needed to know the truth, regardless of what it was.“It's obvious that Ivery is the mother,” the doctor said. I nodded, my mind whirling with thoughts and questions. “When do you think the transplant was?” I asked, trying to put the pieces together. I wanted to understand what had happened, how I could be a father without even knowing it. I had to make sense of
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife I asked the doctor
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. I felt a sense of panic rising in my chest. “What's this?” I asked the doctor. “Your bone marrow matches with his,” he said, his voice calm and reassuring. 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
