The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 122
Chapter 122 Lucas’s Pov“I just want to take her out for the day, Sienna,” I said, my voice steady but pleading as I stood in front of her doorstep. Sienna crossed her arms, leaning against the frame of the door. “Why, Lucas? What’s this sudden interest in Daphne? You’ve barely been in her life.” Her words stung, but I kept my composure. “I know I’ve been absent,” I admitted, my tone softer now. “But I just want to spend some time with her. No strings attached.” She studied me for a long moment, her gaze sharp and unyielding. Then, almost reluctantly, she stepped aside and called into the house. “Daphne! Someone wants to see you.” A moment later, Daphne appeared, her eyes lighting up when she saw me. “Lucas!” she exclaimed, running toward me. I crouched down, meeting her at eye level. “Hey, kiddo. How about we go out today? Just you and me?” Her face lit up like a Christmas tree. “Really? Can we get ice cream?” I chuckled, ruffling her hair. “Ice cream, toys, whatever

Chapter 123 Lucas’s Pov“Here it is,” I said, handing the small tissue with Daphne’s hair to the doctor. My voice was calm, but my heart raced like a runaway train. The doctor nodded, taking the sample carefully. “We’ll run the tests and get back to you as soon as possible, Mr. Collins,” he said with a reassuring tone. “Thanks,” I muttered, leaving the hospital. As I walked to my car, my mind was swirling with questions. "If Daphne is my daughter, how?" Sienna and I had lost our baby three years ago. The pain of that memory made my chest ache. I drove to the office, trying to distract myself by diving into work. I reviewed documents, made calls, and attended a few meetings. But no matter how much I tried to focus, my mind kept drifting back to Daphne. A few hours later, my phone buzzed. It was a message from the hospital: “Your test results are ready. Please visit us at your earliest convenience.”My breath caught. This was it. The moment I’d been waiting for. I excused

Chapter 124 Sienna’s Pov“Daphne, are you ready for school?” I called out as I packed her lunch. “No, Mommy!” she yelled back, her voice weak and dramatic. I frowned, walking to her room. She was lying in bed, her small face scrunched up in mock agony. “What’s wrong?” I asked, placing my hand on her forehead. “I feel sick,” she said with an exaggerated sigh, holding her stomach. I narrowed my eyes, instantly suspicious. “Daphne, are you playing a prank on me?” Her lips twitched, betraying a smile she was trying to hide. “Daphne…” I said in a warning tone. She burst into laughter, throwing the blanket off. “Okay, fine! I’m not sick!” I let out an exasperated sigh, lightly smacking her on the arm. “You little rascal! Don’t scare me like that!” Daphne giggled uncontrollably, grabbing her backpack. “Let’s go, Mommy!” At school, everything seemed normal until I turned to leave. That’s when I noticed a group of kids surrounding Daphne near the playground. One of them

Chapter 125Ryan’s Pov“She really left with David?” I muttered to myself, pacing around my living room I wasn’t used to this, the feeling of being rejected. It gnawed at me. Sienna was different from the others, and I wasn’t ready to give up. I decided to visit her, hoping to set things straight and show her how serious I was. When I arrived at her house, I knocked lightly, half-hoping she wouldn’t open the door. But after a few moments, the door swung open, and there she was, looking exhausted but as beautiful as ever. “What are you doing here, Ryan?” she asked, her tone wary but not unkind. “I wanted to check on you,” I said, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation. That’s when I saw Daphne lying on the couch, her cheeks flushed and a blanket wrapped around her. “Is she okay?” I asked, concerned creeping into my voice. “She’s fine,” Sienna replied, brushing a strand of hair out of her face. “It’s just a little fever. Probably from the cold. I’ve given her

Chapter 126Sienna’s Pov“Finally!” I snapped as David walked through the door hours later than promised. He looked startled by my tone but quickly composed himself. “I’m sorry, Sienna. Traffic was….” “Traffic?” I interrupted, crossing my arms. “You couldn’t even call? Do you know what I’ve dealt with today?” David blinked, clearly taken aback. “Okay, what’s going on? What happened?” I sighed, dropping my hands to my sides. “Ryan happened. And his… whatever she was,” I said, pacing the room. “Some woman barged in here, called me a whore, and said she was pregnant with his child.” David’s face darkened. “He brought someone like that to your house? With Daphne here?” “Exactly,” I said, throwing up my hands. “And she had the audacity to attack me in my own home!” David stepped closer, his expression softening. “Sienna, I’m sorry you had to deal with that. You shouldn’t have to put up with any of this.” I sighed again, the tension in my shoulders easing slightly. “Thanks,

Chapter 127 Lucas's Pov"I need confirmation on the results,” I said to the lab assistant over the phone, my voice tight with frustration. “Of course, Mr. Lucas,” the assistant replied, her tone professional. “We’ll double-check and get back to you within the hour.” I hung up, gripping the steering wheel of my car. The idea of Daphne being my daughter had stirred something deep in me, something I hadn’t felt in years. But doubt lingered. “Could it really be true?”An hour later, my phone buzzed. I pulled over to answer the call. “Mr. Lucas,” the assistant began, “we’ve reviewed the results, and it seems there was a mix-up with the samples. We deeply apologize for the error.” Her words hit me like a punch to the gut. I clenched my jaw, fighting the wave of disappointment that surged through me. “Thank you for confirming,” I said tightly before ending the call. As I drove aimlessly through the city, my thoughts swirled. The prospect of Daphne being mine, of having a connect

Chapter 128Lucas’s PovI sat up in the hospital bed, rubbing the bandage on my head as the nurse handed me the discharge papers. My head throbbed slightly, but I was eager to leave the suffocating white walls and return home. “Take it easy for the next few days,” the nurse advised. “And avoid any unnecessary stress.” I let out a bitter laugh. Stress was unavoidable in my life. When I got home, all I wanted was to collapse on my bed and sleep. But the moment I walked through the door, Lisa was there, her arms crossed and her face set in a pout. “You’re back,” she said, her tone devoid of concern. “Good. I need money for shopping.” I stared at her, incredulous. “Lisa, I just got out of the hospital. Do you even care how I’m feeling?” She rolled her eyes. “Don’t be so dramatic, Lucas. You’re fine. Now, about the money—” I raised a hand, cutting her off. “I can’t do this right now. I just need to rest.” “Fine,” she huffed, turning away. “But don’t think you can keep igno

Chapter 129Sienna’s PovThe day was quiet, and I was grateful for the calmness. Daphne was busy with her coloring book, humming to herself as I folded laundry in the living room. The doorbell rang suddenly, breaking the peace. “Who could that be?” I muttered, walking toward the door. When I opened it, my breath caught. Standing there, dressed in a casual button-down and jeans, was Ryan. “Ryan?” I said, blinking in surprise. “Hey, Sienna,” he said with a soft smile. “Mind if I come in?” I hesitated for a moment before stepping aside. “Sure. Come in.” As soon as he walked in, Daphne’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Ryan!” she squealed, dropping her crayons and running to him. Ryan crouched down, opening his arms wide. “Hey, kiddo! How’s my favorite little star doing?” “I’m good!” Daphne said excitedly. “Look at what I drew!” She grabbed her coloring book and proudly showed him her latest creation. Ryan played along, praising her artwork and making her giggle with his exaggerated r

The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 180
Chapter 180 Lucas's PovThe days had been a blur since we received the news of Sienna’s pregnancy. The shock and the joy had collided, creating a whirlwind of emotions that I wasn’t quite prepared for. I had thought we were past the storm, that our lives would now fall into place. But this new chapter felt like a twist I hadn’t expected. Twins. Two new lives that would soon be a part of our world.I had always wanted a family, but I never imagined it would be like this. Sienna, with her strength and grace, had already brought so much love into my life. Now, with two more little ones on the way, I felt overwhelmed with gratitude and responsibility. I couldn’t wait to see how Daphne would react to the news, knowing she’d be a big sister soon. But before I could get too lost in those thoughts, we had to focus on making sure Sienna was well taken care of.The day after we found out about the twins, I took Sienna to the doctor for a scan. Seeing the two little heartbeats on the screen had

Chapter 179 Sienna's PovI had never felt so content in my life. After all the chaos, the betrayals, and the heartbreaks, it seemed like things were finally falling into place. Lucas was home, Daphne was safe, and we were rebuilding our lives. The weight that had been pressing on my chest for so long had lifted, and I could breathe again. I woke up that morning to the sound of birds chirping outside, the sunlight streaming through the windows, and the soft hum of the world going about its business. It felt like everything was right. The past few weeks had been a whirlwind, but we had made it through. And now, we were finally starting to move forward.But as I sat down for breakfast with Lucas and Daphne, my phone rang. It was Lucas, and I could hear the tension in his voice the moment I answered. “Sienna, you need to listen to me. Max is doing something with the documents. He’s hiding them, and I don’t know what he’s planning, but we need to act fast,” Lucas said, his voice low an

Chapter 178 Lucas's PovThe courtroom was quiet, but the air was thick with tension. I stood there, watching as the judge handed down the final sentence. Lisa and Max, the two people who had caused so much chaos in my life, were about to pay for everything. I couldn’t help but feel a cold, bitter sense of satisfaction. "Both of you are sentenced to life imprisonment for your crimes," the judge announced, his voice echoing in the silent room. I didn’t flinch. It was what they deserved. They had manipulated, lied, and tried to tear apart everything I had fought so hard to build. Now, justice was being served. Lisa looked at me, tears streaming down her face, but I felt nothing for her. She had begged for forgiveness countless times, but I couldn’t allow myself to be swayed by her apologies. Not anymore. Not after everything she had done. She turned to the judge, pleading, her voice shaky. "Please... I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do all of this. I just wanted to be loved." I didn’t

Chapter 177 Max's PovI hated myself. There was no other way to put it. I couldn’t stop the self-loathing that gnawed at me, especially when I thought about everything that had happened. I should have told Sienna how I felt. I should have told her that I loved her, that I didn’t want Lisa anymore, that I never wanted to hurt her. But instead, I had let things spiral out of control. I had let my anger, my jealousy, get the better of me. And now, I was left with nothing.Even after everything that had happened, after being beaten and dragged by Lucas, my mind wouldn’t stop racing. I knew that what I had done was wrong, but there was this part of me that still couldn't let go of Sienna. It didn’t matter that I had messed everything up. It didn’t matter that I had let Lisa manipulate me into making terrible decisions. I still wanted her. I still wanted Sienna. I had gone to their house, to Lucas’s house, to confront him. I told him that he hadn’t won, that I would take Sienna from hi

Chapter 176 Sienna's PovI slowly stirred from unconsciousness, my head throbbing as if a thousand voices were screaming inside my skull. The room around me was dim, and I could hear the soft hum of machines and the muffled voices of people talking. My eyes fluttered open, and the sterile smell of the hospital hit me like a wave. I tried to sit up, but the dizziness made my stomach churn, and I had to lie back down. I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to gather my strength. The memories from earlier, Lucas, the fight, everything, came rushing back. My heart raced. What happened? Was everyone okay?I tried to sit up again, this time more carefully, and saw a doctor standing by my side. "You're awake," the doctor said softly, a reassuring smile on his face. "How are you feeling?"I didn’t answer right away. Instead, I pushed myself up a little more, still feeling weak but determined. "I want to go home," I said, my voice hoarse.The doctor frowned slightly. "I’m afraid that’s not

Chapter 175 Lisa's PovI couldn’t contain my smile as I watched everything unfold. The plan was working perfectly, just as I had envisioned. The doctor, the coma syringe, the manipulation, it was all falling into place. I had been playing this game for so long, and now, I was finally going to win. Sienna was still unconscious, and all I needed was for her to stay that way for a little while longer. The more time I bought, the more control I gained over Lucas. If I could just keep her out of the picture long enough, Lucas would be mine. He would see that I was the one who was truly loyal, the one who could give him everything he wanted.I watched as the doctor prepared the syringe, the liquid inside glowing faintly. He was hesitant, but I had made sure to convince him that this was the only way. We had to keep Sienna incapacitated for a while, just long enough for me to take full control of the situation.“You’re sure this will work?” I asked, my voice low but insistent.The docto

Chapter 174 Lucas’s PovI was so damn tired. Tired of the constant pain, the grief, and the frustration that seemed to follow me everywhere I went. It felt like the universe had it out for me, like I had been cursed to live a life of endless suffering. First, Daphne’s death, my daughter, gone in an instant. And now Sienna. She was slipping further away from me, her mind unraveling in a way I couldn’t control. I had tried everything, but nothing seemed to work. I had lost her once already, and now, I was on the verge of losing her again.I couldn’t help but think that maybe I was the problem. Maybe I was bad luck. Maybe it was me who was causing all of this. First, I had failed Daphne, and now, I was failing Sienna. It was all my fault. I had let her down, let us both down. I didn’t deserve her, and maybe she didn’t deserve me either. It was the only logical conclusion I could come to in my exhausted, broken state.I had been considering it for a while now, but now, it seemed like t

Chapter 173 Lisa's PovThe plan had worked perfectly. I couldn’t help but feel a rush of satisfaction as I sat back and watched it all unfold. Everything had fallen into place just as I’d imagined. Lucas was finally starting to see things my way. He was starting to realize that I was the one who could truly make him happy. Sienna, on the other hand, was falling apart, just as I’d hoped. Her pain was my victory. And now, it was time to solidify my place in his life.Max had already informed me that he had taken Sienna out of the house. He’d gotten her out of the way, which meant there was no one to stop me. I knew exactly where Lucas would be, and I knew how to manipulate the situation to my advantage. This was my moment. I couldn’t afford to waste it.I went to Lucas’s place, my heart pounding with anticipation. This was it. I was going to make him mine. I wasn’t going to let Sienna interfere any longer. I had done everything I could to push her out of the picture, and now it was
