The Silent Wife of The CEO You Accept Me
Zoe lowered her head. She felt afraid, understanding that Wolf's expectations of her were extremely high. Yet she dared not hope too much, considering she could no longer speak after what happened yesterday.Of course, Zoe had tried to speak during her time at Rainbow Wings dozens of times, but she hadn't been able to produce a single word.But Wolf's offer this time was much more 'healthy' than before. She didn't have to hide her vengeance, and she had something to offer, not just his body. The clear difference would lead to a different direction in this agreement.[I accept.] Zoe handed over the pink cat, and Wolf cheered."YES!" Wolf jumped up and rushed to hug the surprised Zoe. Wolf truly embraced her.It was not a perfunctory hug, but a tight one that lifted Zoe from the bed, forcing her to stand as Wolf swung his body in sheer joy. And it was the first joyous hug Zoe has received in the last few years.Tiana had also hugged her, but it was different. Tiana's hugs were usually b

"ZOE!"Sara shouted upon seeing Zoe emerge from behind Wolf."I thought you'd never come back!" Sara exclaimed, hugging her tight and checking to make sure she was okay."Doubting my efforts?" Wolf grumbled irritably, as Sara didn't think he would succeed."Of course, I doubted your efforts. You've never wooed a woman before. I doubted you'd make it this far and convince Zoe to come back." Sara didn't care about Wolf's hurt feelings."I pursued her because I didn't want her talent to go to waste, so now... she's yours." Wolf immediately averted his gaze to his phone."I'll go now. It's up to you to decide where you want to go after this. I'll be at the office until the evening," Wolf said to Zoe, who nodded. She wouldn't wait for Wolf, either.His work had piled up because he couldn't concentrate for the past few days. He had to start paying for it today. But Wolf turned back when he reached the door."Zoe... she spoke again yesterday, but only for a short while. It was unintentional,

Sara smiled and then lowered her feet, which were supporting each other earlier. Zoe's defenses were quite thick."I'll explain something to you. It's about how unique the human mind is. It might be boring, but I hope you understand why I need to make you talk about the most unpleasant part of your life," Sara said.Zoe tilted her body slightly to face Sara, wanting to hear better."Do you know how humans deal with pain or injuries?"Zoe remained silent for a moment and then shook her head. She didn't understand how to answer."They usually avoid it. When accidentally touching fire, you pull your hand away, right? The same goes for emotional wounds, though the form is different. People tend to run away, occupying themselves with work, alcohol, or maybe food. Ever heard of stress eating? That's the lightest example of what I mean."Zoe nodded, understanding the example better."But that's not a solution for emotional wounds. Unlike fire, emotional wounds tighten their grip when avoided

"Sshh! Don't be too loud."Sara gasped, emitting a warning hiss. She stood up slowly from her chair, then waved her hand, signaling Wolf to go outside.Wolf frowned, not understanding why, and then Sara pointed to the long chair. Sara pointed out that Zoe was sleeping there.Wolf stepped back, and Sara followed. They talked in the hallway of the building."She's been sleeping for a long time. Almost 12 hours now," Sara said."Isn't that too long? Is she sick?" Wolf was naturally puzzled."She had a slight fever earlier, but that's not what's making her sleep for so long. She's just mentally exhausted. She's starting to talk to me!" Sara smiled widely, celebrating her success."Really? Do you know what happened to her?" Wolf was also relieved. It was progress."I won't tell you!" Sara immediately set boundaries to avoid accidentally revealing details."I'm not asking you to tell me." Wolf hissed because he already knew enough about what happened."Just make sure Zoe has met enough jerk

Tapi Wolf eventually opened his eyes because it would look very strange if he kept them closed when Zoe knew he had awakened. Wolf calmed himself and tried to look at Zoe with a normal face. He didn't want to give any clues that something extraordinary had happened."So, why are you looking at me if you don't want to kiss me?" Wolf asked, his voice trembling a bit—a part of his effort to calm himself and suppress enthusiasm."I just wanted to check if you were still asleep or not. Not to kiss!" Zoe hastily came up with an excuse and blurted out the first thing that came to her mind."Then what do you want to do after that?" Wolf struggled to find material to keep their conversation going."I don't have a plan; I'm just curious why you're sleeping here." Zoe panicked again, searching for an explanation. Still unaware of anything."Oh, I'm just continuing my work, so I'm here until late at night and get sleepy," said Wolf as he slowly sat up."Are you hungry?" Wolf asked. Actually, it w

Zoe's calm face immediately transformed into an unfriendly frown."Calm down first." Wolf hastily corrected himself."I don't mean to go back on my promise, but I'm just suggesting something different regarding your desire for revenge. I won't prevent anything, but I want you to hear my proposal."Zoe's face relaxed again, and she sat more calmly, preparing to listen."I know your grudge against Iris, and that man runs deep. You want to end their careers by creating a scandal to destroy their reputation, right?"Zoe nodded and lowered her head. The intention was clear, but when Wolf said it, Zoe felt guilty, remembering that she had lied to Wolf thoroughly. She was somewhat relieved that she could use the excuse of not being able to speak to postpone her apology."I have a more suitable way for you to get revenge—probably more challenging as it may take time depending on your progress, but more satisfying. You don't have to engage in illegal activities like stalking."Zoe looked up ag

"Venti!"The coffee shop cashier receiving Zoe's order seemed to smile as Zoe just shouted at him. Unnecessary enthusiasm. He could hear Zoe's voice just fine, but it required patience in another form because after that, Zoe fell silent, preparing to continue her order."Caramel... ribbon crunch frappuccino!"Finally, the continuation of the order was uttered, but it wasn't over yet. The order was for Sara. It couldn't be that simple, and Zoe had to get it right.Zoe felt like crying, of course, because Sara had truly forbidden her to use any notes now. After more than two months of little progress—except for a few words spoken whenever Zoe didn't intentionally try to speak—Sara was now pushing her a bit to talk, like ordering coffee for her."Is this not cruel?" Wolf, watching from a seat not far from the cashier, could clearly see that Zoe was in distress."No. She has to speak when she wants to. I specifically asked Barry to give her a chance," Sara, sitting beside him, observed.I

"Not important, because it's impossible," Sara said, shaking her head."God damn it! You spoke earlier! Finish it!" Wolf grumbled irritably."Unless you also fall in love with her! That's what I was going to say earlier! But I know it's impossible because, of course, your heart is made of stone. That's why I didn't want to discuss it!" Sara snapped, causing the person at the next table to look over. Sara apologised with a smile, and, of course, she was forgiven—because the occupant of the next table was a man."I... That's impossible..." Wolf mumbled, staring at his empty cup."I just want her voice. I want to make it big, that's all," Wolf reiterated his intention."I know! That's why I told you not to be too sweet. I don't want Zoe to be tempted and think too far. It's a pity if she falls in love with you!" Sara sighed, then looked at Zoe, who was walking towards them with two glasses in hand.Wolf didn't pay attention to that; his eyes were fixed on the table surface. His head sudd

"LORIA MOREAU!"Zoe froze. She heard her name, but couldn't believe it was hers."Wake up, baby. And smile. It’s yours."Wolf's whisper finally stirred emotions in Zoe. She blushed with emotion, only able to stand when Wolf helped her. Unfortunately, Wolf couldn't escort her to the stage.Luckily, Syanne's hand was there to assist her, followed by Jacob, who was closest to the stage, helping her navigate the stairs to reach the top.Zoe expressed her gratitude several times to the person presenting her award before finally standing in front of the microphone to deliver her speech.Zoe took a few deep breaths, wiping away tears, before finally being able to address the camera and the patiently waiting audience."This is something I never dreamed of, standing here and receiving this." Zoe glanced down at the trophy in her hands once more and smiled."I... I once buried this dream. I no longer hoped to sing, let alone receive this. Not long
The Silent Wife of The CEO Extra 1 - End and Done
Zoe did something that Wolf would not like. She wouldn't lie, but she would inform him later, once the task was complete. Zoe wants to handle this herself without anyone else's interference.Of course, it's not easy. She walks with an anxious heart. Zoe adjusts her sunglasses several times on her nose, while her other hand carries a beautiful pink flower and gift box.Zoe feels anxious, knowing that people will recognize her when she enters later. But she's resigned. It's not possible to hide her identity now, considering the person she's going to meet.Approaching the counter after filling out a form with the prisoner's name and number, Zoe submits it."Please wait over there. We'll call you," says the prison guard behind the counter.He stares at Zoe several times as another guard checks Zoe's belongings—making sure no contraband is smuggled, glancing to confirm—even reading her name on the form but doesn't comment.Relieved—because
The Silent Wife of The CEO Just With You
"Here." Wolf handed the cup to Zoe.Zoe wanted to take it, but her hands were still busy responding to messages on her phone."Cliff really doesn't have a girlfriend, does he?" Zoe asked."Hm? Why are you asking?" Wolf asked suspiciously."For Sara. She wanted to confirm this because she doesn't believe someone like Cliff is still single.Zoe sighed, showing the message Sara sent to her. Showing that she wasn't lying. She was indeed asking for Sara, not for herself."Not yet. According to Clay, he used to have one—a journalist or an MC, if I'm not mistaken. But they broke up when Cliff was about to move here. Either he moved and then they broke up, or they broke up and then he moved."Wolf just repeated Clay's words, of course. And now Zoe repeated them in the form of a message to Sara and sent it to reassure her."How do you know these details?" After sending the message and taking her cup, Zoe asked in amazement. The knowle
The Silent Wife of The CEO Your Fault
"Should have been in jail..."Max denied reality once again. For him, Loria still couldn't possibly be Zoe because she should have been in jail."You're endlessly foolish!" Billy slammed the table and went berserk.He grabbed Max by the collar with his handcuffs. Of course, chaos ensued immediately, and shouts erupted as the police guarding the area rushed in to subdue Billy, pinning him to the ground.But evidently, Billy was truly furious with Max, as he continued to resist and curse at Max even while being held down."YOUR STUPIDITY KNOWS NO BOUNDS!""SILENCE!"The judge's thundering voice overshadowed Billy's outburst. Not only Billy fell silent, but also the journalists and spectators who were making noise."Once again, if anyone disturbs me, I will reschedule this trial! UNDERSTOOD?!"The silence in the room signified that they all understood."Take him out. Mr. Dacosta, I'll make sure your charges include this incident. Assaul
The Silent Wife of The CEO Your Other Name
The prosecutor began with standard questions, asking about Sara's background—education, how long she had been a psychiatrist, and so on. Only after that did she mention Zoe."Since when has Ms. Zoe Anderson been your patient?" the prosecutor asked."For over a year," Sara replied clearly. Gone was the cheerful demeanor she usually wore when facing patients."Can you explain Ms. Anderson's condition at that time?""Zoe came with a desire to heal because she suffered severe trauma that was very visible and prevented her from leading a normal life.""Could you please explain more about that trauma?"Sara nodded calmly because everything matched the expectations given by Cliff."Zoe came in a state where she couldn't speak, but medical examinations showed that Zoe didn't have any physical injuries anymore. The absence of any disturbances in her nerves confirmed that her inability to speak was a result of PTSD. Severe trauma due to a bad incident
The Silent Wife of The CEO My Protection For You
"That's... Strange. You must be kidding!" Iris shook her head vigorously while staring at Zoe from head to toe, trying to recognize her as the same person she saw before with Max."Have I ever joked when talking to you?" Wolf replied flatly, pulling a chair for Zoe. The chair is furthest from Iris. She was still at a loss for words and kept staring at Zoe."Are you really Zoe Anderson?" Iris continued to stare at Zoe."Yes, before I changed my name to Loria Moreau, that was also my name." Zoe replied calmly. The apprehension that had plagued her earlier had vanished.The meeting with Iris might have been unexpected and almost annoying, but Zoe felt empowered, knowing that she was currently in control.Seeing Iris's surprise, Zoe felt satisfaction. A victory for successfully showing her new self to Iris. Zoe was no longer the disheveled individual she had encountered, who garnered disdain due to her perceived inferiority."That's impossible! You don't lo
The Silent Wife of The CEO Your Met Her
Zoe smoothed her cream-colored skirt and blazer. Darcy's choice, so Zoe wouldn't appear intimidating or grim.She felt nervous, as she could see from a distance how journalists were crowding in front of the courthouse. They were undoubtedly waiting for the enigmatic figure of Zoe Anderson. There were no images of Zoe in the news because there was no documentation of Zoe's case.Due to her prior injuries and hospitalization, Zoe did not attend the trial as a suspect. No one recorded her face or bothered to find out at the hospital because the case clearly made her a suspect.Zoe also ran her fingers through her hair, which was back to being blonde. She wasn't wearing a wig today. It was the first time she would appear without her black hair, and honestly, it made Zoe even more nervous. It felt like she was removing the mask that had protected her. Zoe would be Zoe in front of everyone, no longer Loria.Wolf, who had been observing Zoe's nervousness, said, "Your be
The Silent Wife of The CEO Your Cunning Move
"He's trying to save himself! So cunning!" Wolf hissed irritably.It was clear from Iris's statement that she only wanted to save herself by blaming Max and Billy."She made them look like she was under pressure to hide the truth about Zoe. Iris then used that pressure as an excuse to justify all her strange actions. She hid from her mistakes by using mental health as an excuse." Sara shook her head, looking annoyed. She was obviously upset when someone used mental health as a lie."She managed to escape using a lifeboat before her ship really sank." Cliff looked at Iris, who continued to sob and cry amidst her words."It doesn't matter. Let it be," Zoe said, folding her arms and staring at the television without blinking."What do you mean, let it be? She's lying again!" Wolf also pointed to the television with a disapproving face."At least she has been honest, especially about me. Whatever she said makes things right; just let it be," Zoe repeated.
The Silent Wife of The CEO Your Unwanted Opinion
"Why so fast?" Zoe stared at the summons she had received in panic.When Benson mentioned that she would receive a summons to attend court, Zoe assumed the trial would take place maybe around one or two months later, but it turned out to be only three days later and effective in two days."I think Benson waited until his file was complete before calling you. That's why now he just has to submit it to the court, and the schedule comes down immediately," Cliff explained. He took the letter from her hand to examine it."I only have to come once, right?"Zoe asked to confirm, as she really didn't want to attend the trial multiple times."Yes, that's why I asked to meet with the psychiatrist who treated you. I need to ask them to answer questions about your condition well. They have to give the right answers for the judge to grant the request," Cliff explained today's plan."I think they'll be here soon. She said they still had a patient earlier,
