The CEO’s Ex-wife Returns Chapter 10
Chapter 10 Lucas POV Seeing Sienna and hearing her talk to me in such manner completely angered me. I took the last glance at her before storming away from the lounge. “Mister!” I heard the little girl's voice right behind me, but I didn’t bother to take a glance back. Her mother probably grabbed her hands and stopped her from coming after me. The moment I arrived at where my car was parked, I got into the backseat and told the driver to drive off. “Drive me home!” I ordered “Home?” He looked a little surprised. I had hardly returned home during work time, and he also knew I had come to the hotel to do something very important. Having no other choice, he nodded and drove off, heading to my house. I gazed out of the tinted window. The face of the little girl, along with that of Sienna, flashed back to my head, and I couldn’t help but become angry. She was cheating on me all along. She was the real cheat, yet she always acted like she loved me. When I

Chapter 11 I soon ignored the thought, and I stepped into the bathtub. The warm, scented water calmed me down completely. It was as if she knew what I needed. After I was done with taking my bath, I walked out to the room where I met Lisa waiting for me. “You feel better now?” She asked with her soft smile as always. The same soft smile that always met my heart completely. "Yes,” I nodded. I made my way to the closet. Lisa came with me to the closet, where she grabbed me a new set of clothes, and I changed into them. I walked back to the bed and lay on it. Lisa came up to the bed and wrapped her warm body around me. I hugged her deeply, inhaling her sweet scent. “Thanks for being the good one,” I whispered into her ears. I never regretted the fact that I divorced Sienna for her. I hate Sienna, and I don’t think I ever want to run into her again. “Did something happen?” Lisa asked me, looking curious. I looked into her innocent hazel eyes. I didn’t want t

Chapter 12 I frowned slightly, knowing the fact that he must have called to check on my ex-wife, whom I was supposed to visit. I’m quite sure he will freak out after finding out I got into a fight with her instead. “What?” I said coldly the moment I picked up. “Did you see her?” Ken asked almost immediately. I responded with a sigh. “What? It didn’t go well.” He panicked “I met her, but it didn’t go well. Let’s just find another miss to sort things out.” I told him. “What? You really fought her?” Ken freaked out. “Let’s just talk another time,” I told him and sighed. Ken was about to say something, but I quickly ended the call. I dropped my phone back into my pocket and headed for the room. My phone continued to ring in my pocket, but I ignored it, knowing sure that Ken was the one calling. I lay on the bed and stared into the space. After a few minutes, the door opened again, and Lisa walked in with a tray. I got out of bed and gently watched her drop it on

Chapter 13 Sienna POV The moment Lucas left. I held Daphne by her wrist, pulled her away from the lounge, and headed back to our suite angrily. “How could you be talking to a stranger?!” I yelled, scolding her. “Did you even know how worried I was? But you were busy interacting with a stranger!” I continued screaming, catching so much attention, but I didn’t care. I was so vexed, I hated the fact that I saw her with Lucas. Not with anyone but Lucas? I was even more angry seeing that she wouldn’t respond. No matter what I say, Daphne isn’t saying a single word! The moment we arrived at our suite, I opened the door with the master card and threw Daphne in, ready to scold her till I became calm. “You were busy talking to a stranger, but now you couldn’t say a word?” I yelled frustratedly. “That’s because I have nothing to say.” Daphne shrugged with a lot of attitude before walking to take a seat on the sofa. “You have nothing to say after talking to a stranger? A man you know

Chapter 14 Sienna's pov I walked like a drunken man, but I was still on my steady feet, at least I was able to walk back into the suite. How would I have ever thought my own daughter would turn her back on me for a stranger she just met. It was really heartbreaking for me. I just hoped that I would be able to figure out how to apologize to her for speaking harshly and scolding her for what was entirely Lucas’s fault. I sat right beside her on the bed and watched her breathe smoothly, her face was as appealing as ever. “I promise to make it up to you,darling.” I said, as I rubbed my hands through her hair. She moved and I pulled away my hands, she'd definitely not want to see me. How could she had fallen asleep so quickly. I turned away and removed my dress to take a shower and made an order, hoping it'd be back by the time I'm done and when Daphne's awake. I entered the bathroom with my towel and slipped into the warm water. I didn't take time in there, it was a mere shower a

Chapter 15 Lucas’s Pov I wasn't sure if she heard anything but I hoped she didn't and it worked. “Sienna? What do you mean Sienna?” I asked her, feigning ignorance and pulling her close. “I thought I heard you mention Sienna right now.” She insisted. “No, you didn't. I need to sleep, can we ho to the room now?” I asked just to change the topic. Thank goodness she didn't try to argue with me, who knows what I'd have said? That I kept it from her all this while? Ah! Definitely not. I made my way with her to the room and slept off rubbing her hair while her head was on my chest. It felt really blissful and I didn't want to ruin it, I didn't want to do something to make her leave me. It was easier going to sleep with her. *** “Hey, Good morning.” I woke up in Lisa's arms, to her beautiful face and her high spirit then I placed a kiss on her forehead. I tried to stand up but she pulled me back to sleep and we were there together for minutes. “Good morning to you too.” She gave

Chapter 16 Sienna’s Pov I was really happy to see how his life was going down the drain. Lucas should be at that point where he would postrate at my feet and beg for his life. He would regret every ounce of life he took away from me. Right from the start, he had never considered me as someone worthwhile, neither would I do that. And I wouldn't let him take away my daughter from me. I was happy when I found out the job was done. He'd regret turning my daughter's back on me also. After I received the call from the guy that the news was out, I was expecting him to come back crawling and begging for his life back. Just like how I lived a miserable life trying to get over the pain he caused me. I went back inside only to find out that my daughter had messed up the dress I placed on the table to wear. It was really annoying and I lashed out at her. “Daphne, what the hell?” I screamed on the top of my lungs, but all she gave was silence. “Is this supposed to be a joke? Am I a joke

Chapter 17 Lucas's pov I dropped from the car and wandered around a bit, was too tired to even think right and I ended up getting sore in the heart. I began to boil in anger not minding what things my fury would ruin. The more I thought about it, the more I got really pissed. I tried to take a breath but it wasn't helping either. How could she get under my skin like that? I needed air, and couldn't believe my business was going down the drain just so fast because of Sienna’s unreasonable actions. I got back in the car after slamming the closest wall, and getting hurt, I knew who I could vent my anger on instead. I drove to the hotel really fast and I didn't expect the sight of what met me. “Daphne?” I muttered under my breath. I wondered where she was running to. I walked closer to her and she hugged me immediately she saw me. The tears in her eyes explained why she was running out of the hotel. I tried to console her, but she cried even louder and I knew I needed to ease h

Chapter 136 Sienna’s Pov“Why can’t things ever stay simple?” I muttered under my breath. My thoughts were in a mess, circling back to David storming out the other day. I hadn’t seen him this angry before, and it left a sour taste in my mouth. I knew it was my fault. I’d pushed him away when all he wanted was to be there for me. But could I blame myself entirely? Every time someone got close, they seemed to want more than I was ready to give. Why couldn’t any of them just stay without growing feelings for me? Was I the problem? I sank into the couch, gripping the fabric of my skirt as my mind spiraled. First, Ryan had professed his love; now David was furious, and then there was Lucas, who had somehow decided it was his right to waltz back into our lives. The audacity of these men! My thoughts were so loud, I barely noticed Daphne calling me from across the room. “Mommy!” her voice was faint in the background of my mind, muffled by my relentless overthinking. What did they

Chapter 135Ryan's Pov. "I can't just give up," I muttered to myself, staring at the pile of gifts I’d meticulously selected for Sienna. Everything was top-tier, from the restaurant’s financial plans to the imported decorations I had delivered. She deserved the best, and if she couldn’t see that yet, I was determined to make her. I arrived at her doorstep with everything packed neatly in my car. My heart raced as I approached the door, gifts in hand. It had been days since I last saw her, and each moment without her felt like an eternity. When Sienna opened the door, her face was a mix of surprise and frustration. “What is all this, Ryan?” she asked, her voice heavy with irritation. “It’s for you,” I said, grinning as I held out the gifts. “I wanted to show you how much you mean to me.” She stepped back, narrowing her eyes. “Ryan, I told you already. Stop wasting your money. This…” she gestured to the boxes in my hands, “...this isn’t what I need.” “But it’s what you

Chapter 134 Sienna’s Pov I glanced at the clock as I stirred the pot on the stove. David had texted earlier, saying he’d be back soon, and I wanted everything to be perfect. It wasn’t much, just something simple, warm, and welcoming. The least I could do for someone who had gone out of his way to make Daphne and me feel safe and cared for. The aroma of roasted chicken and vegetables filled the kitchen as I set the table. Daphne peeked in, her little nose wrinkling as she sniffed the air. “Is Uncle David coming?” she asked, her voice filled with excitement. “Yes, sweetheart,” I said, smiling. “He’ll be here soon.” She clapped her hands and spun around in delight before running back to her room. Her happiness was contagious, but I couldn’t deny the flutter of nerves in my chest. When David finally arrived, Daphne bolted to the door, throwing herself into his arms. “Uncle David!” she squealed, giggling as he lifted her into the air. “Hey, princess,” he said, hugging h

Chapter 133Sienna’s POVThe day had already been heavy with emotions, and I wasn’t ready for another disruption. Yet, when the doorbell rang and I saw Uncle Max standing there, I froze in surprise. “Uncle Max?” I said cautiously, opening the door wider. “Sienna,” he greeted, his voice calm but firm as he stepped inside uninvited. I blinked, shutting the door behind him. “What are you doing here?” He smiled faintly. “I came to see how you were holding up. After everything Lucas has put you through, I’d say you’re handling it better than most would.” I folded my arms, trying to maintain some composure. “How do you even know about any of this?” He shrugged, sitting down on the couch like he owned the place. “I’m his uncle, remember? He told me everything.” That caught me off guard. Lucas and Uncle Max were never close. Why would he share something so personal with him? I sat down across from him, my brows furrowed. “I find it hard to believe that Lucas would confide in

Chapter 132Sienna’s Pov "David, I need your help,” I said firmly as I set down my coffee mug on the counter. David glanced up from his book, his brows furrowed in concern. “What’s going on?” “It’s Lucas,” I said, exhaling heavily. “He’s losing it. He’s been showing up everywhere, and I don’t want him near Daphne anymore. I’m serious, David. If you see him anywhere near her, send him away. I can’t let a man like him anywhere close to my daughter.” David nodded slowly, setting his book aside. “I’ll take care of it. You know I’ll protect both of you.” “Thank you,” I said, giving him a faint smile. “I just need some peace of mind.” But Lucas didn’t make it easy. Everywhere I turned, he seemed to be there. Sometimes I’d catch him outside the school gates, watching as Daphne skipped inside. Other times, he’d be at the grocery store, conveniently “bumping” into me. His presence was suffocating, and each time I saw him, the guilt in his eyes made my blood boil. “I’m sorry, S

Chapter 131 Lucas’s Pov“What is wrong with you, Lucas?” Lisa’s voice screeched through the house the moment I walked in. I barely had the energy to acknowledge her. My mind was still tangled in the heated argument I’d had with Sienna. The image of her yelling at me, tears streaming down her face, was burned into my memory. “Lucas!” Lisa yelled again, stepping in front of me and blocking my path. I stopped, narrowing my eyes at her. “What now, Lisa?” Her eyes flared with anger. “What now? Really? You’ve been distant for weeks, and now Sienna’s back in town, stirring up all kinds of trouble. And you expect me to just sit here and take it?” “Leave her out of this,” I snapped, my voice low and dangerous. She scoffed, crossing her arms. “Oh, leave her out of it? You think I don’t see what’s going on? You’re obsessed with her, Lucas! You’ve been acting like a moody teenager ever since you found out she was back.” “I’m not doing this right now,” I said, brushing past her.

Chapter 130Sienna’s PovAfter Ryan left, I leaned back against the couch, letting out a deep sigh. My mind was a mess, tangled with emotions I didn’t want to confront. Just as I was beginning to find some peace, another knock echoed through the house. I frowned, standing up. “Ryan, if you forgot something…” I muttered as I walked to the door. But when I opened it, my heart sank. “Lucas,” I said, my voice sharp with surprise. He stood there, his expression unreadable but his eyes burning with intensity. “Sienna,” he said calmly, though his voice was firm. “We need to talk.” “No, we don’t,” I snapped, trying to shut the door, but he wedged his foot in. “Yes, we do,” he insisted, stepping inside. I backed away, glaring at him. “What the hell are you doing here?” “I know the truth, Sienna,” he said, his tone low and steady. “Daphne is my daughter.” His words struck like lightning, freezing me in place. “What?” I said, laughing bitterly. “Where did you get that ridi

Chapter 129Sienna’s PovThe day was quiet, and I was grateful for the calmness. Daphne was busy with her coloring book, humming to herself as I folded laundry in the living room. The doorbell rang suddenly, breaking the peace. “Who could that be?” I muttered, walking toward the door. When I opened it, my breath caught. Standing there, dressed in a casual button-down and jeans, was Ryan. “Ryan?” I said, blinking in surprise. “Hey, Sienna,” he said with a soft smile. “Mind if I come in?” I hesitated for a moment before stepping aside. “Sure. Come in.” As soon as he walked in, Daphne’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Ryan!” she squealed, dropping her crayons and running to him. Ryan crouched down, opening his arms wide. “Hey, kiddo! How’s my favorite little star doing?” “I’m good!” Daphne said excitedly. “Look at what I drew!” She grabbed her coloring book and proudly showed him her latest creation. Ryan played along, praising her artwork and making her giggle with his exaggerated r

Chapter 128Lucas’s PovI sat up in the hospital bed, rubbing the bandage on my head as the nurse handed me the discharge papers. My head throbbed slightly, but I was eager to leave the suffocating white walls and return home. “Take it easy for the next few days,” the nurse advised. “And avoid any unnecessary stress.” I let out a bitter laugh. Stress was unavoidable in my life. When I got home, all I wanted was to collapse on my bed and sleep. But the moment I walked through the door, Lisa was there, her arms crossed and her face set in a pout. “You’re back,” she said, her tone devoid of concern. “Good. I need money for shopping.” I stared at her, incredulous. “Lisa, I just got out of the hospital. Do you even care how I’m feeling?” She rolled her eyes. “Don’t be so dramatic, Lucas. You’re fine. Now, about the money—” I raised a hand, cutting her off. “I can’t do this right now. I just need to rest.” “Fine,” she huffed, turning away. “But don’t think you can keep igno
