The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 49
Chapter 49 Sienna’s Pov This wasn’t the Lucas I’d loved, the one I’d given my heart to without question. I could feel the sting of betrayal under my skin, his accusations cutting me deeper than he realized. But as much as it hurt, I knew I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of seeing me break. He was the one who’d kept me in the shadows, who had chosen a path that forced me to survive without him. I had loved him unconditionally, and this was the thanks I got. Lucas left as abruptly as he’d come, leaving me standing there, my heart pounding. I took a deep breath, then forced myself to focus on Daphne, who was waiting for me in the next room. My anger softened as I walked over and gently picked her up, cradling her as she gazed up at me with wide, curious eyes. “Mommy,” Daphne whispered, curling into me, “I don’t want to sleep until I know Lucas is fine.” My chest tightened at her words. She was too young to understand the depth of what was happening between Lucas and me, bu

Chapter 50Lucas’s Pov“Where… where am I?” I mumbled, trying to sit up, the room slowly coming into focus. Every inch of my body ached, a dull throbbing in my side pulling me back to reality. Beside me, Lisa’s face came into view, and she smiled, though something guarded behind her eyes.“You’re in the hospital,” she replied softly, reaching for my hand. “I found you lying at home, covered in blood. You scared me half to death.”The memory rushed back, jagged fragments of pain and darkness. “Someone stabbed me,” I whispered, still trying to piece together what had happened....Lisa’s expression turned, then hardened. “Why does it even matter who did it?” she snapped, a touch of resentment in her voice. “You should be more careful about where you go… and with whom.”I took a steadying breath. “Lisa, just… please call the doctor. I need to leave here. There’s something I have to do.”“What, so you can run back to Sienna?” she demanded, her tone rising. “I can’t believe you went craw

Chapter 51 Lucas’s PovThe hospital room was quiet, save for the occasional beep of the monitor next to my bed. I was sore, exhausted, and filled with an overwhelming urge to get out of here. The last thing I wanted was to lie around, useless, when I knew the company was in such a fragile state. I needed to be back at work. And, as much as I hated to admit it, I wanted to put some distance between me and the last few days, the stabbing, the mess with Sienna, and the horrifying way things had unraveled in front of Daphne.Just as I was contemplating how soon I could leave without causing suspicion, the door creaked open, and Dr. Hayes walked in, clipboard in hand. He glanced up, and the knowing look in his eyes told me he wasn’t going to be easy to convince.“Mr. King,” he said, his tone as steady as ever. “We need to go over your recovery plan. You suffered a serious wound, and the last thing we want is for you to rush out of here and end up back in the same spot.”I nodded, tryin

Chapter 52 Sienna's POV“He didn’t deserve to die like that, not so easily,” I muttered under my breath, my mind replaying the scene of Lucas lying on the floor, blood soaking through his shirt. I could still hear Daphne’s cries, the terror in her small voice as she clung to me. It had all happened so fast, too fast. One moment we were arguing, and the next… chaos.I remembered every second of that night. The image of Lucas crumpled on the floor, his face pale, barely breathing, was seared into my mind. I’d watched the blood pool around him, thick and dark, a grim reminder of how close he was to death. For a moment, I’d felt a pang of something, a faint, fleeting sense of guilt, maybe. But I pushed it away.I’d called the ambulance, my hands shaking as I held the phone to my ear. I couldn’t let him die. Lucas wasn’t mine to lose, not like that. If anyone was going to end him, it would be me, and only when he had truly felt the full weight of everything he’d taken from me.As the

Chapter 53 Lucas’s Pov"You know, Mr. King, it’s not every day that someone survives a knife to the back," the doctor said, leaning in a bit too close, his tone both professional and unsettlingly curious.I raised an eyebrow, caught off guard by his directness. "Is that right?""Yes," he continued, his gaze sharp. "And what’s even more unusual is that the person who brought you in requested their identity remain a mystery. Insisted on it, actually."A chill ran down my spine, but I kept my expression calm, giving the doctor a slight nod. "Interesting,” I replied, carefully masking my reaction. “Did they say why?”The doctor’s eyes narrowed slightly. "No. And in my line of work, I know better than to ask. Just thought you'd want to know. Be careful out there." He gave me a final nod before walking out of the room.I stared after him, the faint hum of hospital machinery filling the silence. Someone wanted me alive but also wanted to remain hidden. It didn’t take a genius to piece toge

Chapter 54Lucas's POV“Nightwalker. That’s the term you’re looking for, isn’t it?” Ken asked, leaning back in his chair with a knowing smirk. I glanced up from the paperwork on my desk, caught off guard. "Nightwalker?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.Ken nodded, chuckling as he crossed his arms. "Someone who sneaks around after dark, working tirelessly to keep their life intact, even when everything’s falling apart around them. Fits you perfectly these days."I let out a dry laugh, pushing a few more documents his way. "You might be right, Ken. Maybe I am a ‘nightwalker,’ always chasing shadows just to keep this company alive.”And it was true. Ever since the $100 million payment from our recent project had finally hit our account, I’d been running on fumes, working around the clock to salvage what was left of the company. Sienna’s interference had set us back, nearly destroying us. But now, finally, there was a glimmer of hope, a foothold in the mountain of debt and loss.With the mo

Chapter 55 Sienna's Pov"Wait, *that’s* your daughter?" Renee’s voice held a note of shock, her gaze shifting between me and Daphne, who was now humming to herself and drawing shapes on the fogged-up glass of the hotel room window. I nodded, smiling slightly but feeling a pang of discomfort as I did. Daphne was growing so fast, more aware with each day, asking more questions about Lucas than I’d prepared for.“And to think, last time I saw you, you were head over heels for Lucas, talking about your engagement!” Renee shook her head, laughing. “I didn’t think I’d be meeting your daughter instead of a husband.”Daphne, of course, turned at the mention of Lucas’s name, her expression lighting up as if she’d been waiting for the right moment to bring him up. “Mama, is Lucas coming?”I tensed, trying to hide the frustration that boiled up every time she asked. “Daphne, Lucas isn’t coming, sweetie. Why don’t you go back inside, alright?”“But Mama….” she started to protest, her little voi

Chapter 56 Sienna’s Pov"Stay out of this, Lisa," I snapped, narrowing my eyes as I held Daphne’s hand tightly. I could feel the tension building, like a wire pulled too tight, ready to snap. But Lisa didn’t back down."You don’t get to just walk away with her!" Lisa’s voice rose, drawing the attention of nearly everyone in the hotel lobby. She looked furious, her fists clenched at her sides as she glared at me, clearly unbothered by the growing scene.Daphne clung to my side, her small hand gripping mine tightly as she looked up at me, confused and afraid. My heart pounded in my chest, anger simmering just below the surface, but I kept my voice steady. "Lisa, step back. This isn’t your concern."Lisa scoffed, taking a step closer, her gaze challenging. "Of course, it’s my concern. Lucas and I are together, and I won’t stand by while you manipulate him using your child."“*M child?” I said, a bitter laugh escaping me as I looked her square in the eye. “Stay out of it, Lisa.

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

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

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

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
