Chapter 40Sienna's Pov“Daphne, can you pack up those toys? The floor’s a mess,” I called out, watching her from across the room. Daphne glanced up at me, then down at the scattered toys around her. “Okay, Mama!” she chirped, hopping off the couch to start gathering her things.As I watched her, I couldn’t help but feel a strange satisfaction bubbling up inside me. Everything was falling into place, at least for now. I’d started assigning companies to work with Lucas’s business, building him up, letting him taste success again. But it was only temporary. He didn’t know what was coming. Soon enough, I’d take it all away, just like he took everything from me.*Let him enjoy it while it lasts,* I thought. He had no idea what was waiting for him on the other side.The thought made me smile, but it was a cold, calculated smile. I wanted Lucas to feel the way I did, miserable, trapped, and helpless. He thought he could escape me, but I was always a step ahead. He’d regret making me love

Chapter 41Lucas’s Pov“Where the hell have you been, Lisa?” I asked the moment she answered my call, my frustration spilling out as soon as I heard her voice.There was a pause on the other end, long enough for me to start regretting my tone, but then she finally responded, her voice quieter than usual. “I told you, Lucas. I was at Jessica’s. Why are you freaking out?”I let out a breath, trying to reel in my temper. “I’ve been calling and texting you all day, Lisa. You could’ve at least let me know you were okay.”Another pause, and this time, when she spoke, there was a hint of annoyance. “I didn’t think I had to check in every five minutes. I’m fine, Lucas.”I could feel my grip tightening on the phone. “It’s not about checking in every five minutes. You didn’t come home last night, and then Ken tells me you stopped by the office and didn’t even bother saying anything to me. What’s going on with you?”“I didn’t want to interrupt your work,” she said flatly. “And honestly, Lucas, I

Chapter 42 Sienna's Pov“Mama,” Daphne whined, tugging at my arm as I sat at the dining table, reviewing a few things on my laptop. “Can we see Lucas? Please?”I frowned, trying to focus. Daphne had been bringing Lucas up more frequently, and each time she did, it unsettled me. I didn’t know how to explain to her that Lucas wasn’t part of our lives anymore, at least not in the way she wanted.“Sweetheart,” I started, choosing my words carefully. “Lucas is busy, you know. He’s working.”Daphne pouted, her eyes wide with that innocent look she always used when she wanted something desperately. “But I miss him, Mama. Can we please invite him for dinner? Just tonight?”I sighed, knowing how persistent she could be. The thought of having Lucas here again, sitting at the same table, stirred something in me, something I wasn’t ready to deal with. But seeing Daphne this sad… I couldn’t say no. Not to her.“Fine,” I relented, grabbing my phone. “I’ll call him. But no promises, okay?”Daphne’s

Chapter 43Lucas's Pov"Why haven’t you been picking up?" Lisa’s voice was sharp through the phone, jolting me from my thoughts as I drove home.I sighed, glancing at the dashboard. It was late, and I was exhausted, mentally and physically. The dinner with Daphne had stirred emotions I didn’t even know I had buried, and now Lisa’s irritation was the last thing I wanted to deal with.“I’ve been busy, Lisa. A lot’s going on at the company right now. I didn’t have time to call earlier.” My voice was tight, and I knew she could hear the frustration behind my words.“Busy?” Lisa repeated, her voice dripping with skepticism. “You’ve been saying that a lot lately, Lucas. What’s really going on?”I gripped the steering wheel a little tighter, forcing myself to stay calm. “We’ve got a major project, one that could save the company. I’m under a lot of pressure right now.”There was a pause on the other end, and I could feel the tension building. “Is that all it is? Work?”I frowned. “What do y

Chapter 44 Sienna's Pov“Lucas isn’t my daddy,” Daphne’s voice echoed in my mind, the words stabbing at me as I sat at the edge of my bed, staring blankly at the wall. She had cried herself to sleep after the dinner, her little heart broken by the truth I had to force on her. A truth that, even for me, was hard to accept.The evening had been a disaster, and as much as I wanted to pretend that everything was going according to my plan, Daphne’s words haunted me. The way she had looked up at Lucas, her innocent hope shining in those wide, brown eyes, only for me to shatter it by telling her he was married. I hadn’t meant to be so cold, but I had to. I couldn’t let Daphne live in a fantasy. Lucas wasn’t her father, and he never would be.Still, I couldn’t help but wonder what could have been. If things had gone differently. If Lucas hadn’t walked out of my life the way he did. Would we be a family? Would Daphne be calling him daddy, and would I be waking up next to him instead of sit

Chapter 45 Lucas’s Pov“I’ll have to tell Lisa sooner or later,” I muttered to myself, pacing the length of my office. The thought had been disturbing me for days now, Sienna was back, and sooner or later, Lisa would find out. But how could I explain it? How could I tell her that the woman I’d once loved, the woman who had turned my life upside down, was now dragging me back into her web of deceit?I sat down at my desk, trying to focus on the project in front of me. This was my priority right now, saving the company, ensuring that we hit our deadlines, and avoiding another crisis. I needed to deal with this first, before anything else. But no matter how hard I tried to focus, my thoughts kept drifting back to Sienna, to the way she’d casually re-entered my life and to Daphne’s innocent plea from the night before.*“Be my daddy.”*Her words haunted me, replaying in my head over and over again. She had looked up at me with so much hope, so much trust, and I hadn’t known what to say. I

Chapter 46 Sienna's Pov“Lucas always thinks he can get the last word,” I muttered to myself, pacing the room after leaving the cafe. My mind was still buzzing from our conversation. The nerve of him, coming here and demanding answers like he had some right to know everything about my life, about Daphne’s life. The fact that he even asked if Daphne was his? That was laughable. Lucas never really understood me, and now, he was playing catch-up in a game I had been controlling all along.I paused in front of the mirror, catching a glimpse of myself, my reflection was calm, composed, but beneath the surface, I felt the familiar current of anger swirling. Lucas had gotten under my skin more than I’d like to admit. Why did he care so much? I had told him the truth, Daphne wasn’t his, but still, he kept hovering around her, around me. He couldn’t let it go. I needed to regain control, to remind myself why I was doing all of this. Everything had been calculated. Every move I made was meant

Chapter 47 Lucas's Pov“We’re almost there,” I muttered to myself, staring at the glowing numbers on my screen. The deal we had been working on for months, the one that was supposed to save the company, was finally coming to a close. The final payment was supposed to come in today, a large sum that would pull us out of the hole we’d been stuck in for far too long.But something felt off. I had been glued to my phone all morning, waiting for confirmation that the payment had been processed, but nothing had come through yet. I checked the time again. It was already past noon, and I should have heard something by now.Just as I was about to make a call to check on the status, Ken barged into my office, his face pale, worry etched into every line. My stomach dropped. “Lucas, we’ve got a problem,” Ken said, his voice tense.I stood up, my heart racing. “What kind of problem?”Ken hesitated, looking down at the file in his hands. “The payment. It’s... stuck.”I blinked, not understandin

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
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
