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,”

Chapter 71Sienna’s POV“Ms. Bennett, please,” Ken implored, his voice steady, almost pleading. “Just give Lucas a chance to explain himself.”I crossed my arms, glancing from Lucas to Ken. Lucas looked exhausted, his shoulders slumped, his gaze unfocused, as though he were barely holding himself together. “Even if he wanted to, look at him, Ken,” I said, gesturing to Lucas. “He’s completely out of it.”At that, Lucas seemed to gather whatever energy he had left, his eyes opening slightly wider as he stumbled forward, reaching a hand toward me.I took a step back instinctively. “Lucas, don’t come any closer,” I warned, holding up a hand. The last thing I needed was him stumbling into me in whatever state he was in. I didn’t want him, or his problems, anywhere near my life right now.Just then, a small voice piped up behind me. “Mommy?” I turned, my eyes widening as I saw Daphne standing at the door, completely naked, her little arms crossed as she shivered slightly in the evening air.

Chapter 72Lucas’s PovI woke with a yawn so loud and unrestrained, it echoed off the walls. My body ached, the weight of everything I’d been carrying settling into my bones. Blinking against the morning light, I turned to see Lisa sleeping beside me, her hair splayed out on the pillow, lips slightly parted. A part of me wanted to reach out, to hold her close, but before I could, her eyes fluttered open, and she pulled away just as my hand brushed her arm.Her expression hardened as she looked up at me, something raw and unforgiving glinting in her eyes. “You promised me, Lucas,” she said, her voice low but steady. “You promised me marriage. But instead, you’re sneaking off to see Sienna. Tell me, am I just supposed to sit here and wait while you figure out whatever mess you’ve dragged her back into?”I took a deep breath, trying to absorb her words. The truth was, Lisa’s outburst didn’t come as a complete surprise, but hearing her say it aloud forced me to confront the promises I’d m

Chapter 73Lucas’s POVThe wedding was approaching faster than I’d anticipated, the days slipping by in a blur of details and obligations. Every time I turned around, Lisa had something new to show me, a seating chart, flower arrangements, the latest set of menus she’d had printed.But no matter how much she insisted this would be the event of the year, my mind kept drifting back to the mess my company was facing. It felt like everything was spiraling out of control, and all I could do was hang on and hope the chaos would settle.The headlines were relentless. Rumors swirled about my company’s instability, about mismanagement and pending lawsuits. News outlets speculated about internal conflicts, and investors were panicking. Everything I’d built, every ounce of credibility, was slipping through my fingers. And in the middle of it all was one name I couldn’t shake, Sienna.I didn’t want to believe she had anything to do with it, but the timing was impossible to ignore. Ever since she’

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
