The Silent Wife of The CEO I Just Want to be With You
"I hope you mention a more interesting destination. For example, Paris or Toronto." Wolf complained as he parked his car at their first destination, as mentioned by Zoe earlier."Paris is too far, Wolf. I might not make it back by the final day of the event." Zoe shook her head. Clearly, she didn't want to take Wolf to another continent."Paris may be far away, but did you have to bring me to this place? Like seriously?!"As he looked at the statue in the middle of the island across from them, Wolf squinted. The Statue of Liberty. The first place Joe wanted to visit was the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island.The statue was quite interesting. But of course, for someone who had lived in New York for a long time, the statue no longer held any appeal."What's wrong? I've never been there before." Zoe didn't see the same problem as Wolf did because she had never visited the statue, despite living in New York for a while. She was so busy with her work that she rarely even thought about go

Zoe regretted giving Julio the opportunity to take the first spot in the final round during the draw. Zoe gave Julio the opportunity because she wanted to see and assess his performance, as well as see how much strength he'd bring to the competition.But instead of being more confident, Zoe was now afraid. Julio was that good. He also completely changed the song arrangement. Julio, a musical instrument expert, transformed the song into a magnificent and epic orchestra. His vocals were, of course, impeccable.Zoe truly felt unsure about winning after seeing Julio's performance. When she saw the crowded theater and the mentors standing to welcome Julio as he bowed, she felt tired and defeated."That was exceptional, Julio. This is the final I wanted to see," Billy said, as Julio's mentor, of course, praised him sweetly."That was a pleasure to my ears. I felt like I was in a beautiful cave full of music just for me. It was... magical and beautiful," Syanna also praised, while continuing

Zoe nodded and stepped onto the stage. Zoe had some effects to use today, so she stood behind some dancers dressed in long white fabric around their bodies.The five of them would dance to the song's rhythm and display the impression of calm sea waves, according to the producer, in line with the lights and special effects that would accompany it later. For this one, Zoe just had to accept it. Not bothering to think about any concepts.Zoe closed her eyes as the music began to play. The music was way simpler than what Julio had played earlier, but Zoe would fill it with extraordinary vocals, starting from the first second.Zoe's soft voice invoked beautiful memories at the beginning of the song, then grew stronger as she mentioned hidden love and even stronger as she mentioned longing. Then it became gentle again as she mentioned hope.The song was all about Wolf's feelings, feelings that were also very special to Zoe. Every word in the lyrics was for her. Zoe jus

Zoe looked at Julio in front of her and smiled, easing the tension with a friendly gaze. They stood facing each other, waiting for the MC to announce the winner.Zoe held no grudge against Julio. He may have been "belonging" to Billy, but he wasn't bad. In fact, Zoe had seen him with sympathy several times because, like her, Julio could be quite nervous when singing.But all of that is in the past. They no longer had to go through that. Tonight, it will finally end."Julio Basset. From the moment he appeared, everyone was immediately impressed by his musical talent, and as time went on, his appearances never disappointed. He continued to advance with a sense of classical music that was slowly being forgotten, causing music enthusiasts to momentarily forget the existence of electronic music. And it's not just music; his voice is equally stunning, enchanting audiences of all ages."The event's MC mentioned Julio's strengths, and Zoe agreed. She also envied Julio's

"Loria, congratulations! You're amazing.""You were incredible tonight.""I'll be your fan!"There were various cheers that Zoe only heard fleetingly—somewhere between consciousness and not—but she tried to wave to everyone who congratulated her."This is our winner!" Syanna exclaimed as she opened the door, and another loud cheer erupted.The room filled with crew and all the participants who had ever been on the show, including Laila, who immediately tackled Zoe."Loria!" Laila exclaimed, hugging Zoe tightly."I knew you'd win! I knew it; I knew it from the start!" Laila kept patting Zoe on the back, and Zoe found herself crying again.Laila might be loud and overly eager to share her feelings, but her enthusiasm was infectious. Zoe never felt anything but joy when she was with Laila. Zoe was so grateful for that."Thank you, thank you for everything," Zoe murmured, patting Laila's back."And you always cry so easily,"

"I came because I received an invitation," said Wolf.He did indeed receive an invitation, but he requested the producer not to show his face on camera. His presence was not a secret, but neither was it known to the audience."But you came because you were interested in the singer, right? That means there's someone you want to sign now," said Billy. His intention was clear: he wanted to know who Wolf was going to contract."Perhaps, but I don't need to tell you," Wolf replied, his tone growing colder.Contract offers to singers were not a secret, but they also couldn't be disclosed casually. It could be that agencies or label companies would be targeting the same person."I just want to know because, frankly speaking, I'm also interested in Loria. Julio has already accepted my offer earlier, so I want to offer a contract to Loria now," Billy continued politely, but his politeness made Zoe want to throw her drink in Billy's face."Oh, is that so? Well, g

"Are you crazy? How could you? Loria is the main figure of this party! She's the one everyone will be looking for! Where are you planning to take her? How am I supposed to make up excuses?"Jacob panicked, trying to stop Zoe, but he couldn't prevent her from handing her drink to Jacob and leaving the room before anyone noticed."Loria, wait!" Jacob called out in panic while Wolf dragged him away from the door to prevent him from causing a scene over Zoe's departure.Wolf didn't immediately follow. He intentionally paused by Jacob's side to avoid raising suspicion."I've been kind enough to cover up your relationship with her, but please don't make trouble for me. What if someone asks? How am I supposed to answer?" Jacob continued to panic. He was the closest person to Loria, so it was obvious that everyone would ask him about Loria when she'd gone.But Wolf didn't listen to Jacob's complaints anymore, and he approached the main producer of the event, who had invited him, to bid farewe

"We're here."Zoe jolted as Wolf's car came to a stop. She had dozed off and awakened when Wolf stopped the car."Finally." Zoe straightened up and looked around. Wolf had already gotten out and was circling the car to help Zoe out. There was no way she could get out on her own in that dress."Where are we?" Zoe didn't recognize her surroundings. Wolf didn't take her home.They seemed to be in a cabin, clearly outside New York, considering Wolf had been driving for quite some time. And they were likely in the middle of the mountains. It was still early morning, and the day hadn't yet dawned; Zoe could only see rows of trees around her.Since they'd set off, Wolf hadn't answered any questions about their destination."We're in Catskill."Zoe furrowed her brow. She still recognized the name, albeit unfamiliar, and never visited. The mountains are in northern New York, but not as far as Vermont, Zoe's hometown."We're here because I chose a place better than the Statue of Liberty to visi

"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! 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

"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

"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,
