The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 134
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 138 Sienna’s PovThe morning light streamed through the curtains as I stretched and yawned. I glanced at the clock. 7:30 a.m. It was earlier than I usually woke up, but something felt off. I peeked outside, and my breath hitched. Lucas was still there, leaning against his car, arms folded, looking like he hadn’t slept all night. He was shivering slightly, his breath visible in the cold morning air. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. Part of me wanted to ignore him, to pretend he wasn’t there. But another part, the part that still cared, even though I didn’t want to admit it couldn’t leave him like that. Wrapping a shawl around my shoulders, I opened the door and stepped out. “Lucas,” I called, my voice sharp but not unkind. He looked up, his eyes tired but hopeful. “Sienna.” “What are you doing here?” I asked, folding my arms. “I… I just wanted to see Daphne,” he said, his voice almost pleading. I hesitated, my heart softening just a little. “Fine. Come i

Chapter 139 Lucas’s PovThe living room was quiet except for the soft hum of the heater. Daphne was nestled against my chest, her tiny fingers clutching my shirt. She had fallen asleep halfway through our storytime, her gentle breaths rising and falling in a steady rhythm. I brushed a strand of hair from her face and smiled, unable to believe she was really here, sleeping peacefully in my arms. A warmth spread through me, a feeling I hadn’t experienced in years. She was my daughter, and at that moment, it felt like everything in my chaotic life finally made sense. Not wanting to disturb her, I leaned back against the couch and closed my eyes. The rhythmic patting of her back soon lulled me into sleep. I woke up abruptly to the sound of shouting outside. Groggy and disoriented, I blinked a few times before realizing what was happening. “Sienna,” I muttered under my breath, recognizing her voice. Her words were muffled, but it was clear she was furious. I gently shifted Daph

Chapter 140Lucas's PovI leaned back on the couch, staring at the ceiling as the early morning light streamed through the windows. I hadn’t slept much, not because of discomfort, but because my thoughts were racing. Sienna and Daphne were just down the hall. It felt surreal, almost like a piece of my life was finally back where it belonged. Still, I didn’t go to my bedroom. I stayed on the couch, wanting to be the first to know when Sienna would leave. I knew she didn’t trust me, and forcing her to stay longer would only drive her further away. She’d agreed to the guest room, but I could feel the tension in the air last night. I needed to give her space. When I finally drifted off for a short while, I woke up early, glancing around to make sure everything was in order. I checked my phone instinctively and saw a string of missed calls from Lisa. Lisa. I sighed heavily, tossing the phone onto the coffee table. It had been weeks since I’d heard from her, and now she was sudden

Chapter 141Sienna’s PovAs soon as I got home, I took Daphne to her room to change out of her dress. She was humming one of her favorite tunes, her cheerful demeanor instantly lifting my spirits. After a long day, seeing her happy always gave me a sense of purpose. When I stepped back outside to lock the gate, I froze. The doorstep was covered with gifts, each wrapped meticulously with ribbons and small notes attached. The first package read: “From David; I’m sorry I was angry.”The second said: “From Ryan; I hope you’re okay?”And the third, written in bold, elegant handwriting, was from Max: “From your secret admirer; Your strength inspires me.”I couldn’t help but laugh. “What is this? A competition for my affection?” It was amusing, but also oddly heartwarming. I guessed that one of them had sent a gift first, and then the others must have seen it and decided to follow suit. Typical of them. I carried the gifts inside, setting them on the table, and sat down to admir

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.

The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 179
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
The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 177
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
The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 176
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
The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 175
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
The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 174
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
The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 173
Chapter 173 Lisa's Pov The 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
The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 172
Chapter 172 Sienna's Pov The weight of the world crashed down on me as I sat there, staring at the sterile white walls of the hospital room. My mind refused to process the words the doctor had just spoken, but they echoed in my ears, replaying over and over again. I felt like I was suffocating, my chest tightening with every breath I took. Daphne. My precious little girl. Gone. Just like that. The doctor had explained it so calmly, so matter-of-factly, but all I could hear was the deafening silence that followed. My baby, my Daphne, was no longer here. The doctor had told me that she had been suffering from a condition that was only revealed too late, something no one could have foreseen. A brain tumor. And the worst part? It had been growing silently, without any signs, until it was too late to treat. I blinked hard, trying to push back the tears that threatened to drown me. I didn’t want to cry. I couldn’t. Not here. Not in front of the doctor, not in front of Lucas, who
