Chapter 144Sienna’s Pov“You are admired beyond measure, and I’m deeply sorry for everything I’ve done to hurt you,” the message read. Along with it came a box of expensive chocolates, a delicate bracelet, and a handwritten letter. I sighed, setting the gifts on the counter. “Lucas,” I muttered to myself. Who else would send such a message? Still, I brushed it off, refusing to let it distract me. I had more pressing matters at hand, packing for the vacation. I called David as I zipped up Daphne’s bag. “We’re all set,” I told him. “Great,” he said, his voice warm. “I’ll pick you both up soon.” But as I ended the call, another thought crossed my mind. If David and Ryan could just get along, this trip might actually be enjoyable. Against my better judgment, I picked up the phone and called Ryan too. “Ryan,” I began, “I was wondering if you’d like to come on the trip with us. Daphne would love to see you.” There was a pause on the other end before he answered. “Of course. If

Chapter 145Ryan’s Pov“I love you, Sienna,” I whispered under my breath as I stood near the edge of the patio, just within earshot of Sienna and Lucas’s conversation. My jaw tightened at Lucas’s pathetic attempt to win her back. His groveling made my stomach churn, but her responses kept me glued in place, hoping she’d shut him down for good. “You had your chance,” I muttered to myself, gripping the edge of the wooden railing. “Ryan?” I turned sharply to see David approaching. He had a quizzical expression, his arms crossed. “What are you doing here?” he asked, his gaze flicking toward Sienna and Lucas. “Nothing,” I replied quickly. “Just making sure Lucas doesn’t pull one of his stunts again.” David frowned. “You’re eavesdropping. That’s not right.” “I’m not eavesdropping,” I said defensively. “I’m looking out for her.” David didn’t look convinced, and I sighed. “Fine. You’re right. It’s not my business. Let’s grab some drinks and cool off,” I suggested, slapping hi

Chapter 146 Lucas's Pov“Lucas…” Her voice was soft, almost like a whisper, as she turned slightly in her sleep. I froze, standing at the edge of the bed in Sienna’s room, watching her closely. She was fast asleep, her face peaceful yet slightly flushed from exhaustion. Hearing my name again stirred something deep inside me. This was the second time she’d murmured it, the first when we were at the bar. I leaned closer, careful not to wake her, wondering if it was my imagination. “Sienna…” I whispered back, but she didn’t stir. She shifted again, her lips moving faintly, and my name escaped her lips once more. My chest tightened, and I pulled back. As much as I wanted to be near her, I wouldn’t let it look like I was taking advantage of her in such a vulnerable state. I sighed deeply, brushing a hand through my hair. “This is not the right time, Lucas.”Leaving her room, I found David nearby, pacing anxiously in the hallway. “She’s still asleep,” I said quietly. “I need to

Chapter 147 Sienna's Pov“Where’s Daphne?” David’s voice pulled me out of my slumber, and as I blinked my eyes open, I realized I was in his arms. I felt disoriented, like I had been asleep for days. “She’s with Lucas,” he said softly, helping me sit upright. “What happened to me?” I asked, brushing a strand of hair from my face. “You fell asleep out of nowhere. You looked so tired, so I didn’t wake you. I thought you needed the rest.” I blinked again, still trying to piece together my thoughts. “How long was I asleep?” “For hours,” David said, smiling gently. “I figured it was time to take you home anyway.” His warmth and kindness were always comforting, but a small pang of unease settled in my chest at the mention of Lucas and Daphne. “Daphne’s still with Lucas?” “Yes,” David confirmed, his tone careful. “Are you okay with that? I mean...him taking her?” I hesitated. “She’s his daughter, after all. I just...I don’t want him thinking he can swoop in and claim owner

Chapter 148 Lucas’s Pov"Jenny, you’re okay with taking Daphne out, right?" I asked over the phone, my tone light but distracted. “Of course! Daphne’s adorable,” Jenny responded cheerfully. “I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.” I sighed, trying to shake off the lingering annoyance that Lisa’s recent actions had left behind. I already sent her packing, and honestly, I didn’t have the energy to dwell on it. Right now, all that mattered was spending time with Daphne and enjoying the rare peace I had made with Sienna, even if it was fragile. When Jenny arrived, Daphne’s face lit up. “Aunt Jenny!” she squealed, running into her arms. I chuckled at her excitement and helped Daphne into the car. Jenny settled into the passenger seat, chatting animatedly with Daphne while I drove. I felt a faint sense of relief watching them. Maybe things could be normal, even if just for a day. We decided on a park near a popular cafe for our outing. Daphne couldn’t wait to play, so I carried her t

Chapter 149 Sienna’s PovI felt like my body weighed a ton when I finally walked through the door of my home. Exhaustion was an understatement. The day had been chaotic, and every muscle in my body ached from running errands and dealing with the people in my life. I dropped my bag on the couch and immediately grabbed my laptop. There were a few emails to send to companies I knew needed consulting, and I wasn’t about to fall behind on my work. As I typed out the last email, I found my thoughts drifting to Ryan. He hadn’t returned any of my calls or texts, which wasn’t like him. My fingers hesitated over the keyboard before I finally grabbed my phone and dialed his number again. “Ryan?” I asked when he finally picked up after several rings. “Sienna,” he said, his voice calm. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to worry you. I’ve already headed out of town. I needed to clear my head.” I sighed in relief. “I was just worried. Are you okay?” “I’m fine. You take care of yourself, Sienna. And

Chapter 150 Lucas’s PovI sat across from Jenny, her sharp eyes scanning my face as I sipped the last of my whiskey. She had been quiet for a while, waiting for me to explain why I looked so distracted. Finally, I sighed and spoke. “I’m not even sure if I still love her,” I admitted, leaning back in my chair. “But I’m sure of one thing; I’m falling for her again. It’s like…I can’t let go. I don’t want to. It’s all I know right now, and I’m holding onto it.” Jenny smirked, setting her glass down. “Well, Lucas, that’s progress. It’s about time you figured out what you want. But I’m guessing this revelation doesn’t make things any easier.” “No,” I said, shaking my head. “Not at all. But I know what I have to do now.” Jenny nodded, her expression softening. “Then go after it. Just remember, you’re not the same man you were. She’s not the same woman either.” We left soon after, her words replaying in my head like a mantra. When I got home, the silence hit me harder than usual. T

Chapter 151Sienna’s PovThe soft buzz of my phone startled me. I reached for it, half-distracted by my thoughts. A message had come in, and as soon as I saw Lucas’s name, my heart tightened. I already knew what it would say. “Good morning, Sienna. Just a reminder to meet me tonight. I’ll come with Daphne. Please, just us.”I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. Part of me had been waiting for this, and another part of me wasn’t ready. Why did he always manage to push his way into my thoughts, even when I swore I had moved on? I sat there staring at the message. There was a small voice in my head whispering that I shouldn’t go, that I should let him feel the cold edge of rejection. But another part of me, a quiet, stubborn part, wanted to be there, alone with him, to see if Lisa was still in the picture, to understand his intentions. For all his mistakes, Lucas was Daphne’s father. And as much as I hated admitting it, he had been acting differently lately, calmer, mo

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
