The evening sky stretched across the city, painting the horizon with muted shades of orange and violet. cars moved steadily along the quiet streets, carrying the family back home from the hospital, Lira still hadn't woken up yet, and they had to leave.

Inside, Harold car, air was thick with tension. Serena sat beside him, her hands resting tightly in her lap. She stared out of the window, her mind racing with questions, suspicions, and unease. Her thoughts were jumbled, swirling like storm clouds in her head.

What really happened at Lord Blackwood Mansion? she wondered. Had the maid, spoken the truth, or had she lied to protect herself? The thought made her stomach twist.

Harold drove in silence, his hands steady on the wheel, but his eyes occasionally flicked toward her. He noticed the tension in her posture, the way her fingers clenched and unclenched. Finally, unable to hold back, he asked softly, “Serena… what’s wrong? You’ve been quiet since we left the hospital. Tell me

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    The last breath

    Serena’s fingers trembled slightly as she sent the last message to the maid. Her lips curved into a thin, cold smile. She rose from her bed and walked toward her wardrobe. For this night, she didn’t need glamour, just something simple. She slipped into a dark silk dress that flowed smoothly around her knees, it was the kind of dress that made her look elegant but not noticeable. She leaned toward the mirror, her head slightly tilted, and met the eyes of a woman hiding something, then a cynical laugh escaped her throat. “The job will be done soon,” she whispered to herself. She walked back to her bed, picked up her phone again, and typed quickly to the man she had hired: Meet me at the river park. Gotta be on my way now. Sliding the phone aside, she moved toward the shelf where her bags were displayed. A whole collection of luxury lined the shelf, Prada, Dior, Chanel, each one telling the story of money well spent. Her hand trailed slowly across the leather and polished b

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    Unseen shadow

    The night had fallen quietly over Lord Blackwood’s mansion. The tall walls and wide windows stood dark against the silver moonlight. Inside, everything was still. The maids kept their voices low, the guards moved softly at their posts, and even the air seemed heavy with silence. It was not the kind of peaceful silence that comes with rest, and silence born from fear. The scene that had taken place earlier, Damian Blackwood the police into the mansion was still fresh in everyone’s mind. Nobody dared to speak carelessly or move too freely. Whispers of suspicion clung to the air, but no one was bold enough to voice them. Among everyone, the most silent person was Elsa. She had not spoken a word since the police left. While the other maids returned to their duties, still shaken but slowly calming down, Elsa kept to herself. Now, as the night deepened, she lay on her bed in the maids’ quarters, staring at the ceiling. Her body was still, but her mind refused to rest. The interro

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    Under the shadow of truth

    The trembling maid stepped forward, looking fragile and small. Her hands fidgeted nervously with the folds of her apron. Her shoulders shook slightly, and her eyes darted around the room as if searching for a way to disappear entirely. She shifted from one foot to the other, biting her lip, as though trying to hold herself together, but her fear betrayed her. At this, Damian gave a slight nod. Then the lead officer stepped forward, circling her slowly, like a predator sizing up its prey. “We will begin with her,” he said in a firm voice. The maid’s chest heaved violently. Her gaze flitted between Damian and the officers, her eyes wide with fear. She swallowed hard, trembling so violently that her knees almost gave way. Her mind raced. Please… don’t let them suspect me… just don’t… “What’s your name?” the officer demanded. “Elsa,” she whispered, her voice breaking and trembling with each syllable. Just then, a faint rustle ran through the gathered staff. Some exchanged nervo

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    Shadows in the mansion

    Damian’s hands tightened on the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white. The hospital’s bright lights receded behind him, and swallowed by the afternoon sun as his car tore down the road. The engine roared, tires screeched against the asphalt, and every sound mirrored the storm boiling inside his chest. His jaw clenched, with his teeth grinding together. Rage burned in his veins like fire, pushing the car faster, faster. He saw nothing but the image of Lira’s pale face, and her fragile body lying helpless on that bed. Twenty minutes later, the tall gates of Lord Blackwood’s compound came into view. The guards at the entrance barely had time to react before Damian’s car skidded to a halt in front of them. Dust rose, glinting in the afternoon sunlight. The bodyguards straightened instantly, fear flashing in their eyes as they rushed to open the gates. He didn’t wait for them to greet him. He slammed his foot down again, the car surging forward into the compound. Its tires

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    The vow of vengeance

    The doctor stepped out, his expression carved from stone. Damian’s chest seized at once, his heart slamming against his ribs, every second dragging like a blade across his skin.“Doctor…” Damian’s voice cracked, desperation pouring out of him as he lunged forward. “How is she? Tell me—what’s happening to her?”The doctor exhaled heavily, his eyes softening, but his words were a dagger. “Mr. Blackwood, you need to calm down. Mrs. Blackwood’s condition is critical. We’re doing everything possible to stabilize her. From the test results… we discovered she was injected with a poisonous substance, scopolamine.”The world tilted. Damian’s knees buckled, forcing him to brace against the cold wall. His breath fractured into ragged gasps. “Poisoned?” His voice broke into a roar that carried grief and fury alike. “You’re telling me someone poisoned my wife?”“Yes,” the doctor replied cautiously. “The poison sent her body into shock. She’s extremely fragile. For the next twenty-four hours, she’l
