Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Ceo's Ex-Wife: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Hunter strode into his office, angry, tired and frustrated with the world and a particular woman. He hadn't slept throughout the night and now he was staring at his secretary's seat, empty where Emily should have been. He had thought she would crawl back to him as she always did. But three days after her disappearing stunt he still hadn't heard anything from her. He had been sure that she would be back, crying and begging for his forgiveness as she always did. But now, she was proving different and he did not like it, Emily was becoming someone he did not know. But How dare she? He thought angrily. After trying to kill Carla, killing his unborn nephew and almost injuring his mother, she thought she could go scout-free, doing anything she could and thinking she could get away with it. Or did she think he would come chasing after her just because she walked out of his house? Well, if that was her plan, he would prove her terribly wrong. No one offended the Thorne family and went scot

Hunter's mother was pacing in the main hall when Emily more or less hobbled there, still aching from her wounds. In the room was Veronica, Hunter's sister who was already glaring at her, Hunter who was angrily looking anywhere except at her and Antoine Thorne, Hunter's mother herself, and the family's matriarch, Antoine Thorne. If Emily had any illusions that someone in the family was going to listen to her and save her, she knew how impossible it was now. She missed Hunter's father, if he had been there, she would have been rest assured that he would save her. But now... Antoine Thorne had never been one to smile, but the look on her face now was terrible enough to curdle the blood of a demon, never mind those demons never had blood. Her perfectly made-up face was drawn up in a snarl, that would have stopped Emily in her tracks if the slap hadn’t from Carla hadn't. “You evil bitch! How dare you try to kill my sister-in-law out of envy? Just because you can’t have a child doesn’t me

Luckily, Emily had only been weak from the cold and the wounds. When Emily first opened her eyes in the hospital, the sterile white room felt more like a prison than a place of healing. Her body ached, but it was the weight on her heart that was truly unbearable. She lay there, motionless, listening to the hushed whispers of the nurses as they discussed her. The words cut deep, each one a reminder of the twisted narrative that had been spun against her. Her hand instinctively went to her stomach, feeling the bandages, and she knew that nothing would ever be the same. "But how evil could she be to kill a little fetus because of envy?" one of the nurses asked, hissing contemptuously. "You know how wicked poor people can be." The other nurse spat, not knowing that the person they were talking about had been listening to them. "Imagine her doing that to them after they took her in and made her who she is today. People can be so ungrateful." Tears rushed into Emily's eyes. They didn’t k

“Dad, once I finish wrapping up and settling everything here, I’ll come home.”On the other end of the line, Mr Stephens felt the lump in his throat become bigger. From her voice, he could tell that she had been crying.“Okay, Lex. Your mother and I will be waiting for you at home. And Lex?”“Yes, dad?”“I’m sorry, Lex. I never should've abandoned you.”Hanging up the phone, Emily covered her face in her palms. She was already an adult, but here was she, making her parents worry about her still, after she had caused them many heartaches. All because she had decided to follow Hunter.Dave took the phone back and waited quietly while Emily continued to cry, more openly now that she had needed the call.Five minutes later, Emily calmed down, took the tissue Dave had earlier offered, used it to wipe her tears and asked in a hoarse voice,“Can I borrow the social media account of your cousin’s company?”Star Entertainment Network (Sen) was owned by Dave's cousin, Francis Stern, and to prom

When Emily returned to Dave's apartment, Dave was already wide awake. He stood behind the door and looked at her excitedly."How was it? Have you gotten a divorce? Can you show me the divorce certificate? Did the B"*stard come? "He had been looking forward to Emily's divorce from Hunter. Seeing him like this, Emily couldn't help but smile. She took out the divorce certificate from her bag and gave it to him."Chill guy, I'm divorced."When Dave saw the divorce certificate, he almost cried. "Finally! This is the best news I've heard since forever! It's so good! From now on, you're a single beautiful girl! Emily, do you think we should go have fun tonight?"Emily shook her head. "No, I ha
