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. You’re on

Chapter 57Lucas’s Pov“Why didn’t you do something, Lucas?” Lisa’s voice was sharp, filled with anger as she paced across the room, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. She’d been fuming ever since we’d left the hotel, but I had barely responded, letting her vent while I gathered my thoughts.Finally, she stopped and turned to me, her eyes narrowed. “Are you even listening to me?” she demanded, her voice rising. Before I could reply, she took a step closer, frustration flashing across her face. “They were tearing into each other right in front of that child, Lucas. And you just stood there.”I took a breath, keeping my gaze steady as I replied, “I wasn’t going to make it worse, Lisa. They both needed to get it out, and Daphne didn’t need to see any more than she already had.”Lisa scoffed, her voice dripping with disdain. “So you let her mother slap another woman in front of her? You think that’s healthy?”“It was either let them hash it out or make it an even bigger scene by ste

Chapter 58 Lucas’s Pov The way Sienna had stood her ground, unwavering and unflinching, even as Lisa tried to block her from leaving. Fierce, bold, and completely unafraid. Part of me almost admired her nerve. There was something remarkable about the way she didn’t back down, her eyes blazing with that familiar defiance. It reminded me of why I’d once fallen for her, of the fire that had drawn me in so long ago. But I knew better than to let those old feelings resurface. That chapter had closed. I couldn’t afford to open it again, not when my life was already complicated enough. Sienna was relentless, ruthless in her desire to knock me down, and yesterday had been yet another example of how far she was willing to go. Letting any residual feelings get in the way would only make her think she’d won, and I couldn’t allow that. When I got to the office the next morning, my secretary, Sarah, was waiting with a stack of reports. Her expression was tense, her eyes filled with concern

Chapter 59Sienna’s Pov"Get it done, Sienna,” a low voice hissed through the phone. “You’re dragging your feet, and Lucas is still breathing free. I thought you wanted him ruined."I held the phone away, staring at it in frustration as my so-called partner’s voice droned on. He’d been pressing me to escalate things against Lucas, to keep releasing more damning information to the press, causing enough scandal to drag him down completely. But every time I made a move, every single time, Daphne ended up caught in the crossfire, and it was tearing me apart.“You used to be ruthless, remember?” His mocking tone pulled me back to the present. “Since when did you get soft?”I clenched my jaw, unwilling to let him get under my skin any more than he already had. “Things aren’t that simple,” I snapped, anger boiling over. “Daphne is involved in this, and I won’t destroy her life for some personal vendetta. I’ll handle things my way.”“You don’t handle anything. You’re just hanging on, thinkin

Chapter 60Sienna’s Pov“Do you think you can just walk away from this, Sienna?” Lisa's voice dripped with venom as she cornered me in the aisle of the supermarket, surrounded by stacks of cereal boxes and the faint smell of bread. “You think you can just take Lucas and expect me to stand aside?”I took a deep breath, trying to keep my temper in check. “I’m not taking anything from you, Lisa. You had your chance.” I attempted to brush past her, but she shoved me back against the shelves, causing a few boxes to topple over.“Don’t you dare walk away from me!” She was practically spitting with rage, her eyes wild. The tension crackled in the air, and I felt my own temper flaring. “You have no right to confront me like this. This is ridiculous!”She pushed me again, harder this time, and I stumbled. My hands flew out to steady myself against the shelves, but I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks. This wasn’t just a conversation; it was a full-blown confrontation, and I knew I had to

Chapter 61Lucas’s POV“Hey, Lucas! Long time no see!” Tom exclaimed as he approached me in the café, his smile wide and infectious. We hadn’t caught up in ages, and the familiarity of his presence felt oddly comforting in the whirlwind that had become my life.“Tom! Good to see you,” I replied, shaking his hand firmly. We settled into a booth at the back, the soft hum of conversations around us fading into the background.As we exchanged pleasantries, I couldn’t shake the feeling of being trapped in my own life. My mind raced with thoughts about the company, Lisa, and everything in between. I needed a break, but the idea of leaving for even a week felt daunting.“So, how’s business?” Tom asked, taking a sip of his coffee.I hesitated. “It’s... challenging, to say the least. Our income has been dipping lately, and I’m trying to figure out a way to stabilize things.”He raised an eyebrow, concern etched on his face. “That doesn’t sound good. Any idea why?”I sighed, running a hand thro

Chapter 62 Sienna’s Pov “Mommy!” Daphne greeted me as soon as I walked into the living room. She was curled up on the couch, eyes glued to the TV as her favorite cartoon played on the screen. Her face lit up the second she saw me, and I felt a rush of warmth and relief as I crossed the room to sit beside her. “Hey, sweetheart,” I said, gently placing my head on her small shoulder. Daphne giggled, patting my head as if I were one of her dolls. “I missed you, Mommy,” she whispered, leaning into me as she kept her eyes on the cartoon. Her words tugged at my heart. “I missed you too,” I replied, letting the warmth of the moment settle over us. “I had to take care of some things.” Daphne nodded, not asking any further. She was so engrossed in the animated scenes on the screen, her eyes wide as she watched. I could see the joy on her face, and for a moment, everything felt simple. I wished we could stay like this forever, just her and me, safe and undisturbed by the world outside. “

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
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

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
