Clyden

I 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

  • The CEO's Forgotten Wife   Chapter 26: Exposed Maia

    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

    Maia “Made for each other, huh? How exactly are you and my wife made for each other?” We both turned around to see Clyden towering over us with his arms crossed. He raised his eyebrows then turned to both me and Lucas. Lucas pushed back his chair and also stood up. He faced Clyden, and although he was a little bit shorter than him, it was only by a few centimeters. “Welp, that’s my cue to leave,” Lucas said and attempted to leave. However, Clyden held onto his shoulder and smirked. “No, it’s okay, Mr. Lucas Ledger. You can stay. I’m actually a little bit curious about what you just said to MY wife.” I clicked my tongue and tugged on the hem of Clyden’s suit. “Clyden, let him go. We didn’t talk about anything special.” “Hmm,” he said and looked at me. “That might be the case to you, but I wonder what the case is with Mr. Ledger right here.” Lucas sighed and removed Clyden’s hands away from him. “What a stubborn man you are.

    Clyden“Wee Woo! Wee Woo!” Maia started acting like an ambulance the second Camille and I carried her to the kitchen.“Settle down. Settle down, love,” I said and caged her in my arms.“I’m an ambulance! Let go of me, you douchebag! I need to save people's lives!” She said and tried pushing me away from her. However, I kept my grasp tight because who knows what she’ll do when I let go of her.Camille facepalmed and said, “How the hell did I get those drinks mixed up? Maia’s going to kill me tomorrow.”“It’s too soon to talk about tomorrow. How will we get Maia upstairs without other people noticing?” I asked.Camille waved her hand. “She’s fine. Just lead her upstairs then it’s all good. Just let her sleep it off!”Just then, Maia was able to get out of my grasp and started performing CPR on a loaf of bread on the counter. &ldqu

    MaiaI snuggled closer to the warm pillow. This is probably the warmest pillow that I’ve hugged. However, it was a little bit hard, so I tapped it gently to fluff it up. The ‘pillow’ didn’t fluff up at all, and it became even harder. Confused, I wandered my hands around and felt the pillow move beneath me.I finally opened my eyes and saw two big mountains beneath my face. I looked up to see Clyden’s smirking face as I held onto his abdomen.“Enjoying yourself?”I broke away and moved to the farthest corner of the bed. I looked around the room and felt relieved when I saw that it was my room. But, what is Clyden doing here? Wait… How did I even get here? And why is he naked? I panicked and peeked through the covers to see if I was also not wearing anything.Clyden chuckled. “Relax. We didn’t do anything. I wouldn’t do that without your formal consent.”I nodded my

    JasmineI woke up in a bad mood since that bitch Maia was getting on my nerves. Not only did she enter later than me, but she even dressed up in a nicer gown during last night’s party. I even ruined her black dress so that she’d be embarrassed in front of the media and the other guests, but that bitch always has something up her sleeves. She’s really so sly.You might all be wondering why I hate her so much, and I’m going to tell you all the reasons why.Growing up, my mother really never paid that much attention to me. She always took Clyden’s side and opposed my requests. I knew that we weren’t well-off in the financial department, but is it too much to ask for some luxury items as a teen? Is it so bad that I also wanted to party and stay out? While all my other friends had the privilege to get into yachts, VIP clubs, and the like, I couldn't afford any of those since my family was too stingy to give me the money for it. She

    Maia1 month laterAfter the news of Clyden’s and I’s marriage broke out, we were the talk of the town for quite some time, but like every other news out there, it also died down as time passed by and as other interesting events also came about.At first, there were some media outlets that came to our house every day to get a second statement from Clyden, but after a while, they also gave up when he did not heed their requests. And although the Ledgers were a little bit offended by the news, they did not give up as Clyden’s company’s major shareholder because his company is doing so well. Backing out from it would just be a loss for them.Now that Clyden is all better and his injuries have all healed up, he’s working little by li

    ClydenI’m currently sitting inside my car, waiting for Karl to come and fetch me. Since it’s been about two months since my accident and I don’t have any external injuries anymore, I decided to visit the company to familiarize myself with the environment and to get some updates about its signs of progress.I saw Karl coming down the stairs of the parking lot, so I opened the door, got out of the car, and locked it.“Good morning, sir,” he bowed.“Don’t bow at me anymore. It feels like I’m a crown prince or something.”He simply nodded his head and pointed towards the entrance. We climbed up the stairs, and I took a deep breath before the main entrance of the building.It was about 10:00 in the morning, so I’m guessing that the employees were already here. Once I entered the building, almost everyone turned to me. Some even whispered to each other, but I didn’t pay them any at

    Maia Clyden and I were currently inside his car, driving towards the charity event. Grandma Edith and Jasmine went to the venue before us because Jasmine had to get ready for her performance. I squeezed my hands in anxiety and let out a deep breath. Clyden noticed this and hovered his hand over mine. His single hand was able to cover both of my hands. “Why are you nervous?” He asked. I felt comforted by the warmth of his hand. “I—I’m just feeling nervous now that I'm meeting new people. What if they hate me? Oh god, what if the media roasts my looks?” Clyden chuckled and held my hands tighter. “What are you talking about? The last thing that people could roast about you is your looks. I mean, look at you!” I glanced down at my white body con dress and leaned on the car seat. “I don’t see anything special.” “Hey, don’t say that. You’ll be the most beautiful woman in that event,” he said. I looked at him incredulously and

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

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?
