The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 130
Chapter 130Sienna’s PovAfter Ryan left, I leaned back against the couch, letting out a deep sigh. My mind was a mess, tangled with emotions I didn’t want to confront. Just as I was beginning to find some peace, another knock echoed through the house. I frowned, standing up. “Ryan, if you forgot something…” I muttered as I walked to the door. But when I opened it, my heart sank. “Lucas,” I said, my voice sharp with surprise. He stood there, his expression unreadable but his eyes burning with intensity. “Sienna,” he said calmly, though his voice was firm. “We need to talk.” “No, we don’t,” I snapped, trying to shut the door, but he wedged his foot in. “Yes, we do,” he insisted, stepping inside. I backed away, glaring at him. “What the hell are you doing here?” “I know the truth, Sienna,” he said, his tone low and steady. “Daphne is my daughter.” His words struck like lightning, freezing me in place. “What?” I said, laughing bitterly. “Where did you get that ridi

Chapter 131 Lucas’s Pov“What is wrong with you, Lucas?” Lisa’s voice screeched through the house the moment I walked in. I barely had the energy to acknowledge her. My mind was still tangled in the heated argument I’d had with Sienna. The image of her yelling at me, tears streaming down her face, was burned into my memory. “Lucas!” Lisa yelled again, stepping in front of me and blocking my path. I stopped, narrowing my eyes at her. “What now, Lisa?” Her eyes flared with anger. “What now? Really? You’ve been distant for weeks, and now Sienna’s back in town, stirring up all kinds of trouble. And you expect me to just sit here and take it?” “Leave her out of this,” I snapped, my voice low and dangerous. She scoffed, crossing her arms. “Oh, leave her out of it? You think I don’t see what’s going on? You’re obsessed with her, Lucas! You’ve been acting like a moody teenager ever since you found out she was back.” “I’m not doing this right now,” I said, brushing past her.

Chapter 132Sienna’s Pov "David, I need your help,” I said firmly as I set down my coffee mug on the counter. David glanced up from his book, his brows furrowed in concern. “What’s going on?” “It’s Lucas,” I said, exhaling heavily. “He’s losing it. He’s been showing up everywhere, and I don’t want him near Daphne anymore. I’m serious, David. If you see him anywhere near her, send him away. I can’t let a man like him anywhere close to my daughter.” David nodded slowly, setting his book aside. “I’ll take care of it. You know I’ll protect both of you.” “Thank you,” I said, giving him a faint smile. “I just need some peace of mind.” But Lucas didn’t make it easy. Everywhere I turned, he seemed to be there. Sometimes I’d catch him outside the school gates, watching as Daphne skipped inside. Other times, he’d be at the grocery store, conveniently “bumping” into me. His presence was suffocating, and each time I saw him, the guilt in his eyes made my blood boil. “I’m sorry, S

Chapter 133Sienna’s POVThe day had already been heavy with emotions, and I wasn’t ready for another disruption. Yet, when the doorbell rang and I saw Uncle Max standing there, I froze in surprise. “Uncle Max?” I said cautiously, opening the door wider. “Sienna,” he greeted, his voice calm but firm as he stepped inside uninvited. I blinked, shutting the door behind him. “What are you doing here?” He smiled faintly. “I came to see how you were holding up. After everything Lucas has put you through, I’d say you’re handling it better than most would.” I folded my arms, trying to maintain some composure. “How do you even know about any of this?” He shrugged, sitting down on the couch like he owned the place. “I’m his uncle, remember? He told me everything.” That caught me off guard. Lucas and Uncle Max were never close. Why would he share something so personal with him? I sat down across from him, my brows furrowed. “I find it hard to believe that Lucas would confide in

Chapter 134 Sienna’s Pov I glanced at the clock as I stirred the pot on the stove. David had texted earlier, saying he’d be back soon, and I wanted everything to be perfect. It wasn’t much, just something simple, warm, and welcoming. The least I could do for someone who had gone out of his way to make Daphne and me feel safe and cared for. The aroma of roasted chicken and vegetables filled the kitchen as I set the table. Daphne peeked in, her little nose wrinkling as she sniffed the air. “Is Uncle David coming?” she asked, her voice filled with excitement. “Yes, sweetheart,” I said, smiling. “He’ll be here soon.” She clapped her hands and spun around in delight before running back to her room. Her happiness was contagious, but I couldn’t deny the flutter of nerves in my chest. When David finally arrived, Daphne bolted to the door, throwing herself into his arms. “Uncle David!” she squealed, giggling as he lifted her into the air. “Hey, princess,” he said, hugging h

Chapter 135Ryan's Pov. "I can't just give up," I muttered to myself, staring at the pile of gifts I’d meticulously selected for Sienna. Everything was top-tier, from the restaurant’s financial plans to the imported decorations I had delivered. She deserved the best, and if she couldn’t see that yet, I was determined to make her. I arrived at her doorstep with everything packed neatly in my car. My heart raced as I approached the door, gifts in hand. It had been days since I last saw her, and each moment without her felt like an eternity. When Sienna opened the door, her face was a mix of surprise and frustration. “What is all this, Ryan?” she asked, her voice heavy with irritation. “It’s for you,” I said, grinning as I held out the gifts. “I wanted to show you how much you mean to me.” She stepped back, narrowing her eyes. “Ryan, I told you already. Stop wasting your money. This…” she gestured to the boxes in my hands, “...this isn’t what I need.” “But it’s what you

Chapter 136 Sienna’s Pov“Why can’t things ever stay simple?” I muttered under my breath. My thoughts were in a mess, circling back to David storming out the other day. I hadn’t seen him this angry before, and it left a sour taste in my mouth. I knew it was my fault. I’d pushed him away when all he wanted was to be there for me. But could I blame myself entirely? Every time someone got close, they seemed to want more than I was ready to give. Why couldn’t any of them just stay without growing feelings for me? Was I the problem? I sank into the couch, gripping the fabric of my skirt as my mind spiraled. First, Ryan had professed his love; now David was furious, and then there was Lucas, who had somehow decided it was his right to waltz back into our lives. The audacity of these men! My thoughts were so loud, I barely noticed Daphne calling me from across the room. “Mommy!” her voice was faint in the background of my mind, muffled by my relentless overthinking. What did they

Chapter 137 Lucas’s Pov“I should have never announced the engagement,” I muttered, staring at the glass of whiskey in my hand. The dim light in my study cast long shadows across the room, mirroring the mess my life had become. Lisa’s behavior was driving me to the edge. Every day, she found new ways to make me regret the decision. Late-night clubbing, coming home drunk, ignoring me completely, it was as if she had forgotten the engagement even existed. I hadn’t seen her sober in days, and the rare moments we spoke were filled with arguments. My company was in shambles. Once a prestigious name, it had fallen off the list of top 20 most recognized businesses in the country. I had lost workers, clients, and my own confidence. The people I used to rely on had abandoned me one by one, leaving me to pick up the pieces alone. The loneliness was suffocating. I closed my eyes, and Sienna’s face filled my mind. Her strength, her determination, the way she carried herself despite the w

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
