The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 63
Chapter 63Sienna’s PovI didn’t want to dwell on it any longer, on Lucas, on the call from that man who kept pushing me into corners, or on the mess I’d let entangle my life. My focus had shifted, and I was determined to keep it that way.I reminded myself that nothing about Lucas was my concern anymore. He’d made his choices, and I’d made mine. There was no point in getting tangled up in regrets or unresolved emotions.The next morning, I woke to the faint but unmistakable sound of upbeat music drifting through the house. I blinked, realizing with a start that I had overslept. The sun was already casting a bright glow through my curtains.I rubbed my eyes, slowly recognizing the melody. It was the theme song from one of Daphne’s favorite shows, a musical program she loved.Sliding out of bed, I wrapped my robe around me and padded down the hall to the living room, where I found her perched in front of the TV, utterly absorbed in the show. I couldn’t help but smile as I watched her,

Chapter 64Sienna’s PovI decided to brush off the idea of that celebrity man and focus on what truly mattered, today was for Daphne, and nothing was going to pull me away from enjoying every second with her. We had a whole day ahead, and I was determined to make it special.“Come on, Daphne,” I said, holding out my hand. “Let’s go have an adventure.”Daphne’s eyes lit up, and she squeezed my hand tightly as we headed out, both of us eager to make the most of the day. We wandered through the busy streets of the city, her laughter blending with the hum of activity around us.Our first stop was a nearby park that Daphne had always wanted to visit. We played on the swings, Daphne flying higher and higher as she giggled with joy. She even convinced me to slide down the playground’s giant slide, something I hadn’t done since I was a kid myself. Seeing her face light up, her carefree joy, made every silly moment worth it.Afterward, we found ourselves at a small arcade tucked away on one of

Chapter 65Ryan’s POVI was about to walk out when I saw it, a little girl running straight toward Sienna, her face lighting up the second she spotted me. I hadn’t realized she was a mother, and suddenly the casual interest I’d had in her started to fade. I wasn’t looking for anything serious, especially not with someone who had kids. I’d only approached Sienna on a whim, curious about the mysterious woman who had so casually refused me.But just as I was ready to make my exit, I heard the little girl squeal, “It’s really you! I can’t believe it!” Before I knew it, she had thrown herself into my arms, her tiny face beaming up at me as though I were the most fascinating thing in the world.“Whoa, hey there!” I managed, instinctively catching her as she wrapped her arms around me. I looked down, taken aback by the pure joy in her eyes. Kids usually made me feel awkward, but this little one was… different. Her innocence and excitement were contagious.“You’re Ryan!” she exclaimed, her vo

Chapter 66Sienna’s PovI gently pulled Daphne’s hand, guiding her away from Ryan. “Thank you for making her day,” I said, offering a quick nod to him as we started to walk away. But just before I turned, our eyes met, locked in a way that felt more intense than it should have. I wasn’t sure what it was, maybe just the unexpected surprise of seeing him, but it lingered for a few seconds too long, leaving me unsettled.Breaking the eye contact, I looked down at Daphne, who was still grinning ear-to-ear, clutching her new favorite photo. She had no idea how much I wanted to move on from this encounter, how determined I was to keep people like Ryan at arm’s length. I’d seen enough of his type, charming, used to attention, always the center of the spotlight. It wasn’t a world I wanted anywhere near Daphne or myself.“Mama, he’s so nice!” Daphne chirped, looking up at me with innocent eyes. She seemed to adore him already, and I felt a pang of guilt for feeling so guarded. She deserved a c

Chapter 67Lucas’s PovI left the office that afternoon with a familiar ache in my chest, the weight of disappointment sitting heavily on my shoulders. Things had been rough, rougher than I cared to admit, but I was determined to keep trying. I had managed to arrange a meeting with a potential client, someone I was hoping could provide a lifeline for the company. We needed something to turn this around, and I was desperate enough to chase down every lead.I arrived early, brushing off my suit and taking a deep breath to steady myself. I had prepared thoroughly, rehearsed my pitch a hundred times in my head, and convinced myself that this meeting could be the start of a new beginning. But as the meeting began, things went south quickly. The client barely seemed interested, his attention split between me and his phone, occasionally glancing up with a barely-disguised look of irritation.“Mr. King,” he interrupted at one point, setting his phone down with an air of finality, “I’m not rea

Chapter 68Sienna’s PovAs Daphne and her friend finally finished their endless chattering and giggling, their little hands reluctantly let go of each other. I shared a polite smile with the other girl’s mother, exchanging quick goodbyes as we each called our daughters back to us.“Alright, Daphne,” I said, holding my hand out. “It’s time to head home.”Daphne bounced over to me, her face still glowing with excitement from her eventful day. “Mommy, that was the best day ever!” she exclaimed, skipping beside me as we made our way toward the car. I couldn’t help but smile; seeing her happy made every bit of my exhaustion worth it.“Wait, Mommy! Look! They’re selling my favorite bread!” she suddenly squealed, pointing at a small bakery stall set up near the sidewalk.I followed her gaze and saw the familiar loaves lined up in neat rows, the warm smell wafting toward us. It was Daphne’s favorite, a soft, sweet bread with a buttery crust. And to my surprise, there was a little sign reading

Chapter 69Lucas’s PovI stood by the window of my apartment, watching the city lights blur through the mist of my thoughts. My mind kept drifting to Sienna, to the constant feeling that I was at the mercy of her choices. I thought about going to her place again, to confront her, to maybe even apologize and ask her to stop whatever war she’d decided to wage on me. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt a twist of resentment deep down. I wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of seeing me beg.I took a long, steadying breath. No, I’d been humiliated enough already, and I wasn’t about to let her see how close she’d come to tearing my life apart. These days, I could barely walk into a room without noticing the whispers, the judgmental glances.Even the few people who recognized me as “the Lucas King” from before were now using the chance to mock me, reveling in the fall of someone who once had it all.The company was struggling, clients dropping off left and right, and each

Chapter 70Sienna’s Pov“Daphne, I’ve told you countless times, no running off like that,” I said, my tone firm as we drove back home. Daphne, however, was hardly paying attention, happily munching on her bread, the buttercream smeared around her mouth like a child’s version of a victory medal.“But Mommy, I just wanted to say hi to him,” she said between bites, clearly unfazed by my words. She licked a dollop of buttercream off her finger, not a care in the world.“Yes, and I’ve told you about talking to strangers,” I replied, glancing at her in the rearview mirror. “He may be on TV, but that doesn’t mean we know him. You’re not to run up to people like that, understood?”Daphne just shrugged, picking up the small cup of extra ice cream I’d reluctantly bought her as a treat. She dug her spoon into it, her focus entirely on savoring each bite. Clearly, my scolding wasn’t making much of an impression on her.“Are you even listening to me, Daphne?” I pressed, exasperated.“Yes, Mommy,”
