Arvan's POV

After leaving the Whitmore family mansion that afternoon, I had gone straight back to Hargrove Group to finish several pieces of work that had been left pending. The meeting with the investors ran longer than expected, followed by a stack of documents requiring my signature before I could finally leave the office.

By the time the car entered the apartment complex, the sky was completely dark.

I parked in the basement, then walked to the elevator alone. The sound of my footsteps echo

  • Mr. CEO, Your Abandoned Wife Has Powerful Brothers   Chapter 72

    Lara's POVThe clock read nine in the evening.I had just finished pouring myself a glass of wine when a notification sound broke the silence of the apartment.Rio had just fallen asleep, so I was taking my time relaxing before calling Arvan.I reached for my phone on the table.A message had come in from a number I had saved recently. The person who had been willing to work with me to keep tabs on Reyna.I opened it immediately."That woman is at it again. She won her way into Mrs. Whitmore's favor effortlessly. Mrs. Whitmore seems very taken with her."My brow furrowed immediately.I kept scrolling."Mrs. Whitmore praised Reyna several times in front of everyone. She said only Reyna truly understands what she wants."My hand began to tense.I read the next line."Mrs. Whitmore even teased Mr. Hargrove and said Reyna was a good girl."A jolt went through me.My chest filled with unease at once. But I forced myself to stay calm.There were still a few more messages."After the inspect

    Arvan's POVAfter leaving the Whitmore family mansion that afternoon, I had gone straight back to Hargrove Group to finish several pieces of work that had been left pending. The meeting with the investors ran longer than expected, followed by a stack of documents requiring my signature before I could finally leave the office.By the time the car entered the apartment complex, the sky was completely dark.I parked in the basement, then walked to the elevator alone. The sound of my footsteps echoed softly through the empty corridor.A few minutes later, the apartment door opened.I tossed my car keys onto the table and loosened the tie that had felt suffocating all day.The spacious room welcomed me back with its silence.Usually I enjoyed an atmosphere like this. No noise, no interruptions.But tonight was different.Rather than feeling calm, my mind was crowded with thoughts that kept colliding into one another.The image of Reyna kept surfacing uninvited. Not because of Mrs. Whitmore

  • Mr. CEO, Your Abandoned Wife Has Powerful Brothers   Chapter 70

    I said my goodbyes to Mrs. Whitmore first, after making sure there was nothing more that needed to be discussed that day. The older woman still managed to wave with a warm smile as I walked toward the Ashford Corporation car waiting in the front yard.Behind me, the other team members were also beginning to leave the mansion one by one. Before long, the car I was in slowly pulled away from the old house that held so many memories.I leaned back into the seat, letting my gaze drift out the window. The old trees lining the road gradually gave way to city buildings.Inside the car, the atmosphere was far more relaxed than it had been during the inspection.Some of the team members began to chat."Mrs. Whitmore is so warm, isn't she," said one of the staff with a smile. "At first I thought she'd be very difficult to discuss things with.""Right," another replied. "Clients of her caliber are usually extremely particular. Turns out she's such a welcoming person.""And funny," someone else a

    Arvan and I turned at the same moment.Meanwhile Mrs. Whitmore continued speaking casually, unaware that the scheming woman she was referring to was me — the very same person she had just been praising."Get close to Reyna before someone else claims her," Mrs. Whitmore added. "I heard she's still single. Is that right?"Mrs. Whitmore glanced toward me."I heard it from Olivia," she said with a friendly smile. "She mentioned you're still single. Not yet married. Is that true?"I fell silent.Such a simple question, yet it made my chest tighten.Without thinking, I stole a brief glance at Arvan.His face remained expressionless. Not the slightest change. As though the question had nothing whatsoever to do with him.Yet I had known him too long.The sharpness in his eyes told a different story. There was something he was holding back.I drew a quiet breath.My marriage to Arvan had always been kept secret.Even after becoming his wife, almost no one knew me as Mrs. Hargrove.Not a single

  • Mr. CEO, Your Abandoned Wife Has Powerful Brothers   Chapter 68

    Reyna's POVTwo days passed faster than I had imagined.Since the coordination meeting for the Mrs. Whitmore project with Hargrove Group, the busyness had left almost no room to think about anything else.Together with Sera, I refined several design details based on the technical team's feedback. A few times Ms. Brennan also called me in to make sure all the documents were ready before the renovation work truly began.I was grateful those two days passed without having to face Arvan again.At least I had time to settle my mind after our encounter that had felt so awkward.This morning was the next stage.The first site inspection at the home left behind by Mrs. Eleanor Whitmore's late mother.I tidied the folder containing the blueprints and final evaluation notes into my bag before leaving the villa. Today was not merely a field visit. Every technical decision we made here would form the foundation on which the renovation began.I drew a long breath.Whatever happened later, my focus

  • Mr. CEO, Your Abandoned Wife Has Powerful Brothers   Chapter 67

    Arvan's POVI stood in front of my office window for a long time after Lara and Rio left.The door was closed.The room had gone quiet again.Yet somehow, my mind only grew louder."Maybe Reyna isn't as bad as I've believed all this time."I dragged a hand roughly across my face.Why had I said that?The words even sounded strange to my own ears.For four years I had always been certain that Reyna was the source of every problem in my life. The woman who had deliberately trapped me. The woman who was skilled at playing with tears. The woman who had used Kirana to keep me tethered to that marriage.But now... every time I met with her, that certainty seemed to lose its footing a little more.Especially after today's meeting.The image of Reyna filled my mind again.She was standing in front of the presentation screen in a simple cream blazer. Hair tied back neatly. Her voice calm as she walked through every detail of the Whitmore mansion renovation. Not a trace of uncertainty on her fa

  • Mr. CEO, Your Abandoned Wife Has Powerful Brothers   Chapter 43

    Every eye in the room shifted toward me. I felt the weight of that attention like something physical — Ms. Brennan with her slightly raised brow, Mrs. Whitmore with her warm smile, Arvan with an expression I couldn't immediately read.And the man at the far end of the table, still with that genuine

  • Mr. CEO, Your Abandoned Wife Has Powerful Brothers   Chapter 42

    I shook Lara's hand off.Stood up straight, steadying my breath, before meeting her eyes directly."I don't know what you're talking about," I said, my voice calmer than I expected. "And I don't have time for you right now."I moved to leave. But Lara stepped into my path.Her body shifted smoothly

  • Mr. CEO, Your Abandoned Wife Has Powerful Brothers   Chapter 41

    Eleven forty. Ms. Brennan and I walked out of the Ashford Corporation building toward a restaurant just two blocks from the office. One of those lunch venues the executives regularly used for formal meetings — not extravagantly grand, but refined enough to signal that whatever was discussed inside

  • Mr. CEO, Your Abandoned Wife Has Powerful Brothers   Chapter 38

    I shook my head hard.Impossible.That thought was too wild, too far from the reality I knew. Even though right now I was living in a luxurious villa and Aldric's car also looked expensive—he himself had said it—this villa wasn't his. That luxury car wasn't his either. All of it belonged to his bos
