I led Clyden up the stairs, still not forgetting about what he had said earlier. I thought that he’d agree to his grandma’s proposition right away, but I was surprised when he refused right off the bat. My heart was still accelerating from his words, so I had to take in deep breaths to calm my heart and mind.
I opened the door to his room and led him to the bed. Yes, this is his solo room. That is one of the many things that he asked for in our marriage— for us to have separate rooms. Actually, the bedroom that I’m currently staying in should have been our shared bed, but he wanted to sleep in a separate room, so he had one built opposite of mine.
I fixed his clothes in the closet while he was getting ready to shower in the bathroom. I was busy hanging his pants when he suddenly called my name.
“Maia.”
I turned around and saw him without a shirt. I screamed in surprise and covered both of my eyes. “Wha

MaiaI finally got back from my six-hour shift, and it was now half-past 7 in the morning. I was in the kitchen, planning to cook breakfast for Clyden, when Gertrude, the Gonzalo family’s head maid, suddenly went inside the kitchen.She looked at the ingredients on the kitchen counter and asked, “What are you doing so early in the morning?”“Oh, I just wanted to cook some breakfast for Clyden,” I responded.I heard her softly scoff and placed some of the ingredients back in the pantry. “Umm, I was going to use that,” I said.“Clyden prefers the food that we cook, Miss Maia. Don’t you remember from back then? He didn't eat at all when you were the one who prepared his breakfast. We were the ones assigned with cooking his breakfast, so you don’t have to bother yourself with this anymore,” she fakely smiled.I retrieved some of the ingredients that she placed back and also fakely

MaiaEdith’s eyes narrowed, and her voice became an octave higher. “What? Why would you go and visit that— that wenc—.”“It’s okay, Clyden. I’m just going in for a quick visit. Besides, the hospital that my mom is in is quite far from the city. You shouldn’t be traveling that far with all your injuries.”Edith didn’t get to finish her sentence because I interrupted her. Although she didn’t get to say the last word completely, I had a feeling of what she was going to call my mom— wench. I know that what we did to their family was awful, but there was no way that I was going to let her call my mother like that.“No, but I really do want to go and visit your mother. I feel bad that you weren’t able to visit her for the past few weeks since you took care of me in the hospital. I think it’s only respectful that I visit her and explain what has happened. Don’t

ClydenI stayed silent for the entire train ride after Maia revealed that her father had already died. For some reason, I felt like she didn’t want to talk about the topic anymore, so I didn’t push it. The silence was getting kind of awkward, so I was glad when we finally arrived at our destination.She held onto my wrists, her small and delicate hands spreading warmth on my cold extremities. The first time I saw her, I had a good feeling of her personality. It feels like she wasn’t one of the many people who only visited me for their personal gain.Moreover, she’s probably one of the prettiest women that I’ve ever seen. When Karl said that she was my wife, I felt happy. It felt like I had a good life even before the accident.However, everything’s just so confusing. I feel like the people in my family are not very fond of Maia. It’s also strange that I haven’t visited my mother-in-law for two years. There a

MaiaClyden and I were currently sitting on the patio of the house with some of his relatives. It was lunchtime, and the maids prepared some of Clyden’s favorite food, so he convinced me to join him during this time. At first, I refused since I still felt pretty awkward with his other relatives. But after finding out that Jasmine and Edith weren’t here, I agreed hesitantly.Although I still feel uncomfortable with some of his relatives, I swallowed my discomfort because Clyden looks so happy eating the food that they have prepared. This is also quite a treat for me since it’s been a while since I’ve eaten these types of food. Lobster, steak, and other expensive food were sprawled out on the table, and I ate them with gusto.I was just about to finish my last piece of lobster when Jasmine and Edith suddenly went out to the patio. Edith looked around the table with a smile on her face, but it turned into a scowl when her eyes landed on me.

Maia It was finally the day of the party, and everyone was busy in the house. I stayed in my room all day long because I didn’t want to be a nuisance downstairs. I could hear Edith’s commands from here, and I was amazed by her stamina despite her old age. I think she’s already in her mid-60s, but she can still move around and be intimidating for an entire day. Clyden, on the other hand, is also downstairs with Jasmine, going over the different guests that we’ll be having today. At first, he whined and insisted that he wanted to stay with me, but when Jasmine insinuated that he was running away from his responsibilities, he agreed right away. Clyden truly is a filial and responsible man. I just finished showering, and I was in my bathrobe, sitting on the bed. I was waiting for Camille to come up to my room so we could both get ready together. After a while, I heard a knock on the door, and I knew that it was Camille right away. She knocked on the door with a s

MaiaShe went to her big bag and retrieved a medium-sized box. “What is that?” I asked.“It’s your new dress.”My eyes widened in surprise as she fished out the champagne dress from the white box. I went over to her and touched the dress delicately. “Wha—What? Why did you? How? What?” I stammered, confused.Maia patted me on the pack and smiled. “You know that I would have to get you this dress. It practically screamed ‘Maia’ when I first saw it in the store. I’d be crazy to leave it!”I held onto the dress and caressed its details. It really is such a beautiful dress. “But this is so expensive! How much is it? I’ll transfer you the money.”Camille shook her head. “No, that can't be done. Don’t be too worried. This one’s more on the affordable side. I wouldn’t have bought you a dress that’s more than 5000 dollars.&rdq

ClydenI tapped my foot against the floor as I waited for the guests to enter. I’ve already finished taking pictures with the media, and now I’m bored as hell. How did I endure these kinds of events back then?“Focus, Clyden. Our main shareholders are here,” Grandma nudged me and gave me a heated look.I sighed quietly and faked another smile. Although I’m not enjoying this right now, I also know my duties and responsibilities as a company owner. It’s not in my character to just leave my role in the dust just because I lost my memory.A family of four came into the entrance, and grandma nudged me once again. I displayed a big smile and politely greeted them.I recognize the entire family from the hours of research that Jasmine forced me to do. They are the Ledger family, owners of Ledger enterprises. Mr. and Mrs. Ledger have been my business partners for two years now, and they’re the main shareholders of t

MaiaClyden looks like a totally different person out there. Observing closely, he reminds me slightly of himself in college—before we got married. Before the accident, he felt a little bit distant and cold. Right now, he could even crack jokes in front of serious people.He was now done with his speech, and it was now time for him to answer some questions coming from the reporters. At first, all of them were just normal questions pertaining to his future plans with the company. However, the last question made everyone look at the reporter in shock.“I’m sure that we’re all curious about this, but we’ve all seen earlier how you treated this one girl.”My eyes widened in shock as some people glanced over my way. Edith and Jasmine also turned to me quickly, causing me to look down on the tablecloth.Camille went near my ear and whispered, “Oh fuck, she’s talking about you!”“Can you d

Clyden“So, where are you taking Maia today, Clyden?” Maia’s mom, Victoria, asked me once I entered the kitchen. I had just woken up while Maia was still in bed. I know better than to wake her up since she’s going to be grumpy all day if I do.I tilted my head to the side, confused. “Why? Is there a special occasion today?”She dropped her ladle and turned to me with wide eyes. “Did you forget?”“Forget about what?” I asked, still confused.She gasped in surprise and covered her mouth. “Come on. Think about it a little bit more. Today’s the 16th of January.”My eyes went wide when the realization came to me. “Shit,” I cursed under my breath.“Oh god! You really forgot! Haven’t you planned anything?”I shook my head and pulled my hair in anger. How could I forget our wedding anniversary?! What am I going to do now? M
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter Special: Clyden's Forgotten Assistant
KarlToday is an important day. My boss, Sir Clyden, just asked me for a favor. I refused at first, but when I heard about his reason, I had no choice but to agree.I was standing in a cornfield, talking to Maia about Clyden getting into an accident. This was all a lie, of course. This is just Clyden’s scheme to get Maia running after him like crazy.“Have you finished the call?” Clyden asked, emerging from the cornfield.“Yes, sir,” I said and handed him my work phone. “I’ll be sitting here and waiting for your signal. Just press the home button when you need me to turn all of the lights on.”“Good. Good,” he nodded his head. “Thanks for this, Karl. I’d give you a hefty bonus when we get back.”“Looking forward to it, sir!” I said and bowed.I pulled out my folding chair and placed it in between the corn stems. I scratched the
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 55: Maia's Star
Maia There he was— Clyden, the love of my life, standing in the very middle of the road. The sun shone down on his face, making him have an indescribable glow. The sun was still shining, but his smile shone even brighter. I felt the wind brushing through my hair, but the cold had long been forgotten. The person right in front of me was the embodiment of the sun, and his warmth emanated just from his gaze, masquerading as a pleasant hug. The sight brought tears to my eyes. I came here knowing that Clyden had gotten in an accident, but this is just as tear-jerking as the thought of him getting hurt. He walked closer to me while I became a blubbering mess. “Why—What… Karl told me that you’re hurt. How could you even walk right now?” I stammered. He pulled me into his chest and comforted me. “Shh, Shh,” he said. “I’m okay. Don’t cry. I’m sorry,” he said while caressing my hair. I looked up at him from his chest and wiped off my tea

Clyden“Sir, when are you going back here? The board directors are already asking where you are!” That was the first thing that Karl said to me when I dialed his number.I sighed. “I know. I know. But I really can’t go there right now. Something very important came up, even much more important than the company.”“Why? What happened, sir?” He asked with a worried voice.I felt a smile creeping up my lips. “I’m going to be a father. Maia’s pregnant.”The line stayed silent for a while, and then I heard some things crashing down on the floor.“Karl, you okay?”“Oh my gosh!” He said in a high-pitched tone which made me raise my eyebrows in surprise. Karl cleared his throat and went back to his normal voice. “No… I mean. Congratulations, sir. It seems like you really have much more important matters to take care of. So, why did you call?&

Maia“I’m home, Maia. I’ve already booked you a check-up with the doctor for your first month of pregnancy.”My eyes widened in shock, and I kept still in my seat, not bothering to look at Clyden. His eyes were burning holes into my skin, but I kept my gaze on my mother, who was coming in.“Mom,” I said in a cautionary voice. However, my mom didn’t even notice the unusual presence in our living room because she kept on talking about my pregnancy.“Are you still having morning sickness? I had the doctor prescribe some medicine for you to help alleviate that. Do you want me to prepare it for you?” She asked.“Mom,” I said louder this time.“I’ve also noticed that you haven’t been sleeping these days. Maybe because Clyden isn’t around. I also had some troubles sleeping when I was pregnant with you and when your father wasn’t around. Maybe you could c
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 52: Maia's Shock
MaiaOkay. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to let Clyden stay here in the house. But, who could blame me? He was so smooth with his words, and he just told me that he loved me despite all of our conflicts in the past. Who wouldn’t fall for that?However, I am slowly regretting it since I couldn't sleep knowing that he was only a few meters away from me. I looked down onto my stomach and caressed it.“I’m sorry if mommy isn’t letting you have any sleep. Your daddy’s sleeping outside, so mommy’s nervous,” I softly whispered.Suddenly, the door opened, and I got a bit frightened. I held onto my chest and propped myself up with one elbow.“What the hell! You scared me!” I said, still holding onto my heart.He smiled sheepishly while holding the door open. “Sorry.”I sighed and leaned back on my side. “What do you want?” I asked.He let out a deep breath
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 51: Maia's Fear
MaiaI jolted awake when I heard that there was someone knocking on the door. I opened my phone and flinched when its bright light hit me.11:42 PMWho the heck would be knocking on my door at almost 12 AM in the morning? Unless...My eyes widened in surprise as I thought of all the worst-case possibilities. No one in their right mind would knock on my door unless they were planning on mugging me.My mom also isn’t here since she’s staying in the hospital for some assessments. What perfect timing!The person kept knocking on my door, and I was getting more anxious by the minute. I looked around to see if I could use anything as a weapon and sighed in relief when I saw a piece of wood near the closet.I walked slowly towards the piece of wood and held it firmly with my hands. The person’s knocks were getting even louder and louder, causing me to move more swiftly.Suddenly, the knocks stopped, but the anxiousne
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 50: Clyden's Misfortunes
ClydenI was already in the airport, waiting for my flight to be called. I tapped my foot on the floor in both nervousness and excitement. I was excited to see Maia and hold her in my arms once again, but I’m also unsure whether she’ll even speak with me. I'm even unconfident that she'll let me inside of her house! I just hoped that she’d give me the chance to explain myself.I looked at my watch and saw that it was only a few minutes until my flight is due. Eager to get on the plane right away, I stood up and waited right in front of the doors.I waited for the exact time of my flight, but not a single reminder resonated in the airport. I frowned. The flight’s already due. Why isn’t anyone opening the doors?Just then, someone spoke into the intercom, and I felt relieved for a second.“Good day, passengers! Today is a very special day since our pilot himself has something to say.”I frowned in confu

ClydenI was all alone in my office because Karl had to set out to the address that I gave to Edith and Jasmine. I told him to make the place as unlivable as possible since they were the reason why I wasn’t able to answer Maia’s call.I was still staring down at my phone, hoping that Maia would call once again when someone knocked on the door.Is Karl already back? That was fast.“Come in,” I mindlessly said, still staring down at my phone.“Did you trash that place like I told you to? You came back earlier than expected, so I’m worried whether you were able to—”I paused when I felt an unusual presence in the room. I looked up, expecting to see Karl, but I saw the person that I never would have expected to find in my office. A tall blonde figure hovered over me, and I looked up to him with a frown.“Lucas? What the hell are you doing here? Why didn't the front desk inf
