2024-01-28 06:00:49Zoe 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

Laila explicitly explained the main points she clearly saw, unaffected by the mixed emotions Zoe experienced during her relationship with Wolf.Despite Wolf's rough and annoying nature, as well as his occasional strange behavior—or the sex—what Laila said was undeniably true. Wolf, who even rejected Sara, whom Zoe considered perfect with all her dazzling qualities, suddenly willingly kissed her twice.That means there's something there. Something different. Maybe—just maybe—Wolf wasn't just talking about his voice earlier. Those ambiguous words about Wolf wanting her, when combined with that kiss, made more sense.And Zoe's head became even noisier at that moment. It was as if something was suddenly pacing back and forth, trying to extinguish the thoughts that she had kept at bay.The repressed thoughts now seemed to race to the surface, trying to shout as loudly as possible. Saying that what she hoped for was not impossible. There

Max smiled, stroking Zoe's arm and even her shoulder, and Zoe didn't resist. Zoe tossed her long black hair a few times, laughing to cover her lips. However, she shouldn't have directed that sweetness towards Max.Wolf had to remind himself several times not to charge towards the man with the guitar. Max clearly exuded charm while flipping his slightly long hair and flashing his bright neon-like smile multiple times, creating an atmosphere of dazzling charm. Wolf wanted to unplug any socket to turn off that pleasant ambiance, but he could only watch.Wolf moved to the exit door of the parking lot, taking a detour to return to his car so as not to surprise Zoe with his appearance. He continued to observe them until his neck felt stiff and his eyes felt sore from rarely blinking.Unable to bear seeing them seemingly conversing endlessly, Wolf finally hissed and took out his phone. Contacting Zoe was necessary now since he saw her reaching for her phone from her po

Mata Zoe squinted. She couldn't understand why she had to receive such a sour reception."So, what should I do?" Zoe asked."You just need to answer my call and leave that bastard! You can use it as an excuse to leave, and...""Ah, that could work." Zoe nodded. She didn't think about that idea."But I need to talk to him because...""Do you still need to talk to him?! What else do you need to hear from him besides nonsense?" Wolf hissed."Most of it may be nonsense, but I need to listen. I intend to pretend to be interested in him. If possible, I will become his lover."CKIT!Wolf pressed the brake pedal too quickly. Fortunately, there were no other cars behind them."What? You want to be his lover? Are you insane?" Wolf turned half of his body, looking at Zoe with an angry face."You're the crazy one!" Zoe shook her head, tired of hearing Wolf's incomprehensible anger."How can you miss the major part of m

"Is there no other way you can do it?" Wolf asked, turning his car into his driveway."There might be, but the easiest way to approach Max right now is by pretending to be his girlfriend. Max is interested in me." The irony is that this was the idea Zoe had after Max rejected her, as Zoe made her shake her head. Now, Max was approaching her without hesitation just because Loria looked a bit different from Zoe.BLAK!Zoe jumped as Wolf suddenly slammed the car door hard when he got out."What's wrong with you?!" Zoe finally lost it because of Wolf's unclear emotional shifts. He went from angry to calm and then angry again."I question your decision, Zoe! How can you decide to get close to that man again? You hate him, and...""Exactly! That's why I want to get close to him again! Because I hate him! I want to teach him a lesson so he understands that what he did won't go unpunished. By getting close to him, I have access to 'disturb' him even

Zoe had no intention of making the atmosphere between them sentimental, as Zoe just wanted acknowledgment for Wolf's highly ambiguous behavior.But then Zoe realized that she genuinely needed clear acknowledgment. It would make her feel more at ease. It wasn't just about Wolf's easily changing relationships with women, but also about her fragile emotional state.Zoe wanted to hear that she meant something to someone. Valued and wanted. Not just a disposable option."Zoe..." Wolf sighed, closing his eyes. He was unable to refuse when Zoe asked somewhat gently.Wolf could no longer consider Zoe's desire ridiculous, especially after seeing Zoe's face slightly reddening. Even if it was just a fleeting moment, Wolf noticed a glint of tears that had lingered earlier.Wolf reached for Zoe's hand and pulled her closer. "It's going to be really weird, but bear with it."Zoe raised an eyebrow, not understanding why Wolf thought it would be weird.

Wolf wants to devour Zoe slowly, but it's not possible. His lips and body are too happy to find what she's been waiting for all this time.As Wolf tried to take off his clothes, he pushed Zoe's body onto the sofa in the front room. Wolf damaged Lili's expensive dress when he took it off and threw it on the floor."We're outside..." Zoe reminded him of the location while Wolf was kissing her."Hmm..." Wolf just mumbled. He must know; he just doesn't care. Nobody's going to come to his house.Wolf lifted up Zoe's naked body, took her down on the couch, and embraced the body she missed with an almost crushing force."Akh..." Zoe complained slowly as Wolf squished too hard."I'm sorry, but I'm going to be very rough." Wolf warning came in wishper.No protests, of course. Zoe doesn't mind having it rough when she wants it too. The scent and muscle that currently dominate him never disappointed her in this.Zoe's hands roamed over his flat stomach as she locked eyes with Wolf, attempting to

"I don't know if all the effort you're putting into this will pay off," Zoe said, gazing admiringly at the blue and white dress in front of her.The dress was stunning. The combination of the two colors made Zoe feel like she was looking at a clear sky. The stack of accents shaped like flowers at the waist perfectly matched the bright theme. Zoe's chosen song for the week was about joyful love, and the dress complemented it well.Zoe didn't know where Lili found the ideas to match the dress with the theme of her song, but one thing was certain: Lili's dresses never failed in her eyes."Of course, it will pay off and be sweet!" A muffled cheer came from Lili, who was currently inside the billowing skirt of the dress, making adjustments to ensure that the flower accents at the waist wouldn't easily move and get wrinkled."In a little while, I'll be opening another boutique in New York. I need exposure. And being your personal stylist is the exposure I need," Lily said with a sweet smile

Zoe felt relieved that her emotionless, zombie-like appearance didn't lead to her elimination, but she couldn't be certain about her luck for the following week.Lili waved her hand dismissively. "What nonsense is that? I always watch every episode on TV, so I know your abilities. I've seen others, too. So don't underestimate yourself. You'll make it to the finals! I'll prepare your dress for the final right now," said Lili confidently, hands on her hips.Zoe laughed and was amused to have someone who believed in her so much—besides Wolf."Thanks for the confidence and also for the dress. I'm sure it will be beautiful." Zoe extended her arms, and Lili hugged her tightly with a wide smile.Lili's camaraderie brought Zoe great enjoyment. Clay's wife was warm and very resilient. Lili was younger, but Zoe knew from Wolf that Lili's journey to be where she is now wasn't easy. Zoe already knew what brought Lili close to Dr. Howard. That struggle alone made Zoe realize that Lili could be som

"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

"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!

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

"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!

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

"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.

"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,
