The Silent Wife of The CEO You're Too Panicked
"Look at this!" Billy handed his phone to Max, who was playing his guitar. He was in the process of writing a song.Max stopped playing, squinting as he looked at Billy. He didn't understand why Billy wanted him to watch the video on the phone, but from Billy's forced expression, Max knew he had to comply. Billy could be nice, but opposing him could be frightening.Max played the unedited video he got from one of the crew members at the TV station earlier—something impossible without a connection."What am I supposed to see? What..."Max fell silent as the black-haired woman in a pink dress began to sing. Max squinted to get a clearer view of her face in the video."She...""Zoe, right? It's Zoe! I knew it was Zoe!" Billy immediately exclaimed.Max fell silent again, watching the video until it finished and scrutinizing the face."She does look similar, but it seems not to be her. She's very beautiful, and her eye color is different, as is her hair. Dark eyebrows, unlike Zoe," Max sai

"What is this to show the pain in your heart?" Wolf asked when he saw Zoe's song choice for the upcoming second round.They were already in Wolf's studio at his home, and Zoe had just decided on her second song.Zoe's first-round song choice yesterday demonstrated strength and her ability to endure all challenges, but her next song choice revealed the pain she had to endure. A love song full of hurt. Zoe nodded."According to the PD explaining the rules, I will sing a trio with randomly chosen participants, and each can suggest a song. As long as this song is chosen, I can use it later," Zoe explained.Wolf already knew about that rule, but he just nodded at Zoe's explanation. Even though Sara no longer told him to talk a lot with Zoe—because Zoe was already very normal when calm—Wolf still wanted to hear her talk. Zoe's voice wasn't just beautiful when she sang.Wolf tapped his ear gently. That thought was too... wild. Wolf wanted to dispel such thoughts before he truly went crazy."

Because of that, Wolf could suggest to Zoe that she follow him. Wolf refused that offer, of course. He didn't want to appear in front of the camera for a long time. So, he instructed Jacob to represent Wolf."Oh? Then why did you ask about the details earlier?" Zoe was a bit annoyed, feeling that Wolf had let her do something useless. She explained the details of the next scene that she already knew."I didn't ask about any details. You told me this yourself earlier. Did you forget?" Wolf reminded her, then closed his ears with earphones again, working on arrangements on his computer.Zoe grumbled but couldn't argue. It was true that she freely told Wolf everything earlier. Without feeling awkward or having the need to restrain herself. Zoe couldn't remember when she became so talkative with Wolf.Since she regained the ability to speak, Zoe has spent most of her time talking to Wolf—besides Sara. Wolf's presence could be annoying at times, but he always listened patiently and attenti

"As usual, the music you bring is always 'clean.' There's nothing more I can do for you. It's already very ready."Jacob smiled as he removed the earphones from his ears. He had just listened to the music sample that Zoe would use tomorrow for her first live performance, and as always, Loria's music was well-prepared—thanks to Wolf, of course."Alright, I'll practice some more then." Zoe nodded but also looked nervous.This was her first live performance. The previous rounds were all tapping processes, and Zoe was fine. But live performances meant there couldn't be any mistakes. This made Zoe even more nervous."Did you arrange all of this yourself? If so, maybe I need to learn from you. You're very talented, Loria. If you don't win this competition, I'd be happy to have you work for Wolf. I...""Ah, no... no!" Zoe panicked, shaking her head. She had always claimed that she arranged her own songs because that's what Wolf ordered. She didn't want his name to appear until she was truly

[Son't worry. Sing with congidencce. Thjere's no difference between singing live or tapping. Youy'll be fine."Wolf and his typo-laden messages never failed to make Zoe smile. Zoe actually had the chance to activate the autocorrect feature on Wolf's phone so that his typos would decrease, as they met yesterday. But Zoe let it be.The message wouldn't be as funny and entertaining without those typos. Though sometimes Zoe had to think a bit longer to understand what Wolf meant, she preferred the typo-filled messages. The messages felt special and could only be sent by Wolf."I actually really like this song, but Syanna doesn't allow me to sing it. She thinks my voice doesn't suit it."While reading Wolf's message, Zoe turned her attention away when Laila, one of Syanna's chosen contestants, complained to Zoe about her vetoed song choice."But so far, you've always won using Syanna's chosen songs. What she picks is always right, isn't it?" Zoe clearly didn't want to discredit Syanna, as

Everyone there was momentarily confused, not expecting someone to suddenly open the door, but it lasted only about two seconds. After that, almost everyone screamed with joy, realizing that the person who came in was Max.Even Laila, who immediately got up and rushed towards Max,."Max!""Hello... hi!"Zoe heard all the chatter, but it seemed distant and faint as her mind suddenly went blank. She was not prepared to meet Max right now—with his appearance as Loria. Yesterday, when they met at the gym, Zoe perfectly hid her identity, but now she didn't know how to react if Max were to behave the same way Billy did yesterday—trying to force recognition.They shouldn't be meeting now. This was not in her plans. Zoe tried to calm herself, took a deep breath, and stood up, trying to be as enthusiastic as everyone else. It would be odd if Zoe didn't react like everyone else upon seeing Max, who had become famous in the music world."I didn't know you would be a guest today!"No one knows who

"Zoe? Look at me. Calm down first."Wolf tried to calm Zoe as he saw her on the verge of tears. Yet, Zoe shouldn't cry. Tears would ruin her makeup and all the preparations she had done now."Calm down first... Take a deep breath, slowly. Everything will be okay."Wolf whispered while gently patting Zoe's cheeks. But Zoe shook her head while scratching her neck again. She wanted to say that she couldn't speak."Oh, calm down."Wolf, of course, panicked as well. He understood what Zoe meant, but he hid his panic and gently lowered Zoe's hand from her neck, squeezing it softly."Listen to me, Zoe. Whatever happens today, nothing will change. You will still be mine. Even if you fail here, nothing can change that. I still want you. So, there's nothing for you to fear," Wolf reassured, calming her.But Zoe shook her head and tried to scratch her neck again. She wanted to sing. She wanted to be able to sing in front of Max without any burden. Without tears or lingering feelings."Don't cry.

Zoe felt like she was half in a dream, half awake. She waited behind the stage—after receiving a scolding from the producer for disappearing—with a remarkably blank expression.When the camera switched to the waiting participants, Zoe had to display the appropriate reactions. It may have been just two or three seconds of reaction—applause or a smile—but they had been specifically briefed to maintain enthusiasm. Of course, to keep the show lively. And Zoe missed it all, to the point that Laila had to nudge her several times to keep her from daydreaming too much.Zoe also missed Max's spectacular opening performance, even though the cheers heard in the waiting room were deafening.Zoe almost missed Laila's performance and only applauded at the last moment. Her own performance was nearly overlooked until Laila escorted her to the edge of the stage to keep Zoe from daydreaming.Zoe sang very successfully live because she was on autopil

"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

"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,
