The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 18
Chapter 18 Lucas’s pov The brightness on her face and the way she screamed her lungs out scared me. I really hoped she wouldn't feel too comfortable with me and think I'd take responsibility. It was way too complicated to take care of someone else's child. If only I knew she was cheating on me years ago, I wouldn't dare to stay with her for so long. If Sienna wanted her child to be happy then she would have done something better than what she had been doing to make her daughter happy. We were at the park for two hours and counting and Lisa’s call brought me back to thinking how much Sienna's evil mind has brought me to a predicament. I hurriedly picked her call, before she started to her suspicious of my actions. “Hey! You aren't at the office? Where are you? Let me come over there.” She sounded so sweet and it got me thinking if I should really still meet or talk to Sienna. I could tell it was time to take Daphne back to the hotel. Her play time was over anyways. “Lisa,

Chapter 19 Lucas's pov “You know I warned you, Lucas. But I talk too much and I'm not supposed to do or say anything apart from what you wanted.” He kept on ranting but I couldn't say anything either. I was really frustrated, if only I could just get to talk to her to stop her misbehavior on my business but it wasn't possible. Her face alone infuriated me. Sienna was so callous. All I was ever thinking of was how to get Sienna to stop her filthy acts on my business. “Can we talk about what I called you here for now?” He signed, holding up his hand like he had a suggestion then he dropped them and folded them. “I'm all ears, Lucas. What do you intend to do?” “Remember the last project we were supposed to handle but got breached?” “Yeah, I know that. All thanks to your psychopath ex wife.” “Ken, do you wish for death?” I said in a whisper so no one thinks we were having a fight, of course we were. “You aren't supposed to get on my nerves like she does and you aren't allowed

Chapter 20 Sienna's pov I couldn't imagine how far she could go just to shame and disgrace me, especially in front of Lucas. What would he think? That I wasn't better without him? “You always do things the wrong way, mum. Sometimes I don't even understand if you're mum or not and I just wish you could understand that I need to see my dad.” “Daphne…” I bent down to her height. Her chubby little legs looked swollen but I found out she didn't flinch or felt weak as her feet was steady. “.....You know I love you, Daphne. But you need to listen to me and not a stranger you just met.” “Really? Cause you two seem to know each other. Which makes me wonder why you don't want to see me with him.” “Actually, it's a different case. I don't know him but I'm just trying to protect you.” Lying to her was nothing, I didn't know him anyways. He never acted like he knew me. Touching her hands and she pulled them away from me. “Tell me where you went to with him.” I asked her. “I'm not say

Chapter 21 Lucas's POV I walked into the office that morning with one thing on my mind, stability. The last few months had been a mess, and everything I had worked for was slipping through my fingers, thanks to Sienna. Still, I couldn’t let that happen. Not to the company, not to myself. So when I told Ken to send out those emails, I had already decided this was going to be a defining moment. "Make sure every client knows we’re still here, and that we’re not going anywhere," I instructed Ken firmly, watching as he scribbled down notes and nodded. He was dependable, one of the few people I could count on when things got rough. "Also, gather everyone in the office. I want them to showcase their current projects and see if we can leverage anything for a new pitch." At least he didn't think my idea was bullshit for a while. He answered almost immediately and to keep his job he knew he needed to do that also. As I stood by the window in my office, the sunlight filtering in through

Chapter 22 Sienna's POV The kiss wouldn’t leave me. It wasn’t just the way his lips felt, or the surprise of it. it was everything it stirred up inside me. I’d closed my eyes countless times since then, and each time, it was right there, playing back like a loop I couldn’t escape. Normally, something like this wouldn’t affect me so much. I’d brush it off, ignore it. But this time, it was different. It felt different. I couldn’t get the image of Daphne’s face out of my mind either. Her little arms crossed, her expression so distant. She barely looked at me anymore. I had tried to talk to her, to make things right, but nothing worked. It was like every word I said just bounced right off of her. I didn’t know how to fix it. Earlier today, in one last desperate attempt, I asked her, "What can I do to make this up to you, baby? How do I make it right?" She just stared at me for the longest time, her eyes so intense it almost made me feel like she was much older than four. And

Chapter 23 Lucas’s POV The phone call caught me off guard. I hadn’t expected to hear from her, not like this. I knew right away it had something to do with Daphne; it had to. Sienna wouldn’t reach out otherwise. I didn’t waste time thinking about it. I grabbed my keys and headed straight for the hotel. When I walked into the lobby, I spotted them almost immediately, Sienna standing there, and Daphne beside her, looking up at me with those wide, expectant eyes and I could see that Daphne was waiting for something. Sienna cleared her throat, her voice softer than I remembered. “I’m... I’m sorry, Lucas,” she said, her eyes barely meeting mine. “Daphne wanted me to apologize.” That was it. No emotion, no explanation, just words strung together because her daughter had asked her to. I could feel the hollow tone in her voice, and I knew she didn’t mean it. But still, I wasn’t here for Sienna. I was here for Daphne. Kneeling down to Daphne's height, I scooped her up into my arms. She w

Chapter 24 Sienna’s POV As soon as Daphne was out of earshot, Lucas turned to me, his eyes were cold and filled with frustration. "You need to stop with this childish nonsense," he snapped. "The stories, the rumors, take them all down, Sienna. What is wrong with you?" I crossed my arms, not backing down. “Childish? You think that's childish? What about you telling me what to do, you don't think that's childish? ” His jaw clenched, the muscles in his neck tightening. “What has gotten into you!? Spreading lies about me isn’t just childish, it’s pathetic. You’re making everything worse for Daphne, can’t you see that?” “Lies?” I scoffed, feeling my blood start to boil. “You really think I’m the one who ruined everything, don’t you? You act like you’re some saint in all of this. And you think all of those are lies?” “This isn’t about me, Sienna! It’s about Daphne, and you know it.” “Don’t pretend like you’re doing this for her,” I shot back. “You don’t get to call the shots, Lucas.

Chapter 25 Lucas’s Pov How could she be so heartless and even finding it hard to do the right thing!? I just couldn't decipher what was up with her. If she found someone even before I left her she should be able to let it go properly. Why should I suffer for it? I drove home faster than usual, my mind raced with everything that had happened. The argument with Sienna replayed in my head on a loop, every word sharper than the last. How could she be so cruel? I just couldn't place my mind out of it, it was extremely frustrating to stop thinking about it. By the time I pulled into the driveway, I was exhausted, physically and mentally. I just wanted peace, something simple. I needed to let go of the frustration that clung to me like a second skin. I stepped through the door, Lisa was already there, waiting for me, obviously. She must have been waiting for a long time. She looked up, her eyes lighting up as soon as she saw me. Without saying a word, she wrapped her arms around my

Chapter 160 Lucas's PovI could feel it. Every time Sienna looked at me, the warmth in her gaze, the way her smile lingered just a little longer than it used to. It was subtle, but it was there. The walls she'd built around her heart were slowly crumbling, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief, and a little fear too. I hurt her more than once, and though I could sense she was falling for me again, I knew I had no right to ask for forgiveness. But I couldn’t help myself. I wanted this. I wanted us again.Today, I wanted to show her just how much I cared. It was a rare thing, this peace, and I wasn’t going to let it slip away. So, I took them both, Sienna and Daphne, out for the day. We spent the morning at a park, just the three of us. No drama, no complications. Daphne was full of energy, running around and laughing, and Sienna… Sienna was more relaxed than I had seen her in a long time. She was smiling, her eyes lighting up every time Daphne pulled her into some new adve
The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 159
Chapter 159 Sienna’s PovThe atmosphere was with an air of curiosity as Lucas followed me to David's house. I hadn’t expected him to insist on coming along, but he seemed adamant about tying up any loose ends. I agreed, hoping the visit would go smoothly. David was gracious as always, hosted us with a warmth that made me question if he truly was okay with everything that had transpired between Lucas and me. He offered us tea and snacks while Daphne played with some toys he had kept aside for her during our previous visits. As we sat in his cozy living room, chatting about random topics, David raised his glass. “Here’s to new beginnings, Sienna. And to both of you, may you find happiness together.” His toast felt bittersweet, and I could see the faint sadness in his eyes, but he didn’t let it show too much. He spoke with such maturity that I couldn’t help but admire how gracefully he handled everything. Lucas, sensing the sincerity in David’s words, leaned over and shook his

Chapter 158Sienna's PovLiving with Lucas again was nothing like I had expected. Despite the rocky start and all the unresolved tension between us, I found myself slowly letting my guard down. Every time he did something thoughtful, whether it was making breakfast, helping Daphne with her schoolwork, or simply looking at me with those sincere eyes, I felt the walls around my heart crumbling. It was late that night, and Daphne had already gone to bed. I sat on the couch with a glass of wine, scrolling through my phone absentmindedly. Lucas came into the room, his hair slightly damp from a shower. He was wearing a plain T-shirt and sweats, looking relaxed and more like the man I fell in love with years ago. “Still awake?” he asked, sitting down next to me. “Couldn’t sleep,” I admitted. For a moment, we sat in comfortable silence. Then, out of nowhere, Lucas reached for my hand. “Sienna,” he said softly, “thank you for giving me another chance. I don’t deserve it, but I’m going
The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 157
Chapter 157Sienna's PovI sat on the couch, staring at my phone as if it held all the answers to my chaotic life. Daphne was in her room, probably playing with her toys, completely unaware of how exhausted I felt. Lucas had texted earlier, saying he was taking Daphne for ice cream. A part of me was relieved—Daphne needed time with her father, and I needed time to think. But no amount of solitude seemed to ease the heavy burden pressing on my chest. My life felt like it was spinning out of control. Between Lucas’s attempts to re-enter my life, Ryan’s unexplained departure, and David’s quiet yet persistent care, I felt torn in too many directions. Just as I began to organize my thoughts, the doorbell rang. ---I opened the door cautiously and wasn’t surprised to see David standing there with a warm smile on his face. “Hey,” he said, holding up a small bag. “I brought some snacks. Thought we could talk.” I stepped aside and let him in, trying to muster a smile. “Thanks, David. B
The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 156
Chapter 156 Lisa’s PovI couldn’t believe it. I stood outside the grocery store after that humiliating encounter with Lucas and Sienna, trembling with rage. A child. They had a child together. How had I never known? All this time, I’d thought Sienna was just some shadow of Lucas’s past, someone he pitied or felt guilty about. But no, she had a child, a child who was Lucas’s. The thought burned in my chest. He had lied to me, omitted the truth, and now he was playing house with her. I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms. Lucas belonged to me. I had stayed with him through everything. I had invested my time, my energy, and even my reputation into him. And now, he was discarding me like I was nothing. I wasn’t going to let Sienna win. The next day, I made my move. I knew that little girl, Daphne, would be going to school. Lucas wasn’t the most punctual, and he had a habit of being distracted by work or other things. It was the perfect opportunity to approach her, t
The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 155
Chapter 155 Lucas’s Pov The way Sienna moved around the house, so calm and composed, made me question everything. She wasn’t the fiery woman who used to shout and hurl sharp words at me. She wasn’t the cold, unrelenting ex-wife I had imagined all these years. Instead, this version of Sienna was sweet, calm, and, if I dared to admit, somehow even more beautiful than before. I couldn’t stop staring at her. It wasn’t just her physical beauty, though that certainly hadn’t faded. It was her grace, the way she cared for Daphne, the way her laughter sounded when she thought no one was listening. Everything about her seemed effortless, as though she had finally become the woman she was always meant to be, without me. When I woke up the next morning, the smell of something warm and delicious wafted into the bedroom. I sat up, groggy, only to hear the faint clatter of dishes. Was she… cooking? I quickly got dressed and headed to the kitchen, and there she was, flipping pancakes as
The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 154
Chapter 154 Sienna’s Pov“Maybe I should give him a chance,” I whispered to myself while brushing Daphne’s hair in front of the mirror. It wasn’t like I wanted Lucas back in the romantic sense, at least not entirely. But I couldn’t deny how hard he was trying. For Daphne, for me… for us. The thought unsettled me because it forced me to confront my emotions, which I preferred to keep locked away. But as I prepared to make things easier for Lucas, the thought of David and Uncle Max made my stomach churn. Both of them had been acting like hypocrites, constantly preaching about what was best for me while putting me in complicated positions. It was frustrating and exhausting. I couldn’t stand it anymore. “Daphne, sweetie, do you want to help Mommy make breakfast?” I asked, trying to shake off the lingering negativity. “No, I want Daddy to make it!” she exclaimed cheerfully. I smiled at her enthusiasm and nodded. “Alright, go tell him then.” After seeing Lucas interact with Daphn
The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 153
Chapter 153Lucas's PovI sat across from Jenny at a quiet café, my coffee untouched as I poured out my frustrations. “I just don’t understand what’s going on,” I said, gripping the edge of the table. “My uncle is getting way too involved with Sienna, and it’s driving me crazy. And Sienna, she’s avoiding me no matter how hard I try to get through to her.” Jenny leaned back in her chair, her eyes thoughtful as she sipped her tea. “Lucas, have you considered that maybe you’re trying too hard? She might need some space to figure things out.” “I can’t just stand by while my uncle pushes his way into her life,” I countered. “It’s not right. He’s supposed to be family, but it feels like he’s competing with me.” Jenny set her cup down and gave me a soft smile. “Here’s what I think. Stop forcing it. Let her come to you on her own terms. Show her that you’ve changed, but don’t pressure her. She’ll notice the difference and reach out when she’s ready.” I frowned, unsure. “And what if

Chapter 152 Lucas’s PovThe moment she arrived, I couldn’t hold back my emotions. As soon as I saw her, I instinctively reached for her hands and tried to pull her into a hug. She moved back slightly, her usual guarded demeanor in place. It didn’t matter, though. I smiled at her, genuinely grateful she had shown up. “Thank you for coming,” I said softly, my voice filled with relief. She folded her arms and tilted her head. “I had to,” she said matter-of-factly. “Daphne deserves the best care, and I need to ensure that.” Her words stung slightly. I wanted to believe her presence meant more than just Daphne, but I couldn’t argue with her. I let it go and motioned for her to sit. We settled down to eat. The table was quiet at first, but I couldn’t let the silence stretch any longer. This was my chance to make things right, and I wasn’t going to waste it. “I need to ask you something,” I began, trying to keep my voice steady. “Would you let me take full responsibility for Daphn
