Damian's long strides echoed through the executive corridor toward his office.

He shoved the wooden door open with unnecessary force before slamming it shut behind him, the loud bang reverberating throughout the room.

He shrugged off his black suit jacket and carelessly tossed it onto the sofa.

His fingers roughly loosened his necktie, which suddenly felt suffocating around his neck.

He walked past his desk and stopped in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the city's tower

  • Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!   Chapter 12: Growing Uneasy

    Damian's long strides echoed through the executive corridor toward his office.He shoved the wooden door open with unnecessary force before slamming it shut behind him, the loud bang reverberating throughout the room.He shrugged off his black suit jacket and carelessly tossed it onto the sofa.His fingers roughly loosened his necktie, which suddenly felt suffocating around his neck.He walked past his desk and stopped in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the city's towering skyline.His gaze swept across the busy streets below, but his mind remained completely occupied by the image of the woman standing at the beauty products booth.That smile.Damian clenched his jaw until it ached.For an entire year as his wife in front of the media, Sienna had always worn a formal smile—stiff, obedient, and restrained.It was the smile of a woman who knew exactly where she stood and understood her limitations.But the smile she had given the shoppers at the mall...It had b

  • Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!   Chapter 11: Meeting Again

    Damian froze where he stood.His gaze slowly traveled over Sienna from head to toe.Her long hair was neatly tied back.Her face was adorned with light makeup that highlighted her natural beauty, and she stood confidently with perfect posture."Mr. Damian?"His secretary called out awkwardly after noticing that his boss had suddenly stopped walking.Damian ignored him.Without caring about the puzzled looks from the dozen executives following behind him, he turned around and strode directly toward the booth where Sienna was standing.Sienna remained where she was.When Damian stopped in front of the counter, she quietly clasped her hands in front of her skirt before raising her head and offering him her most professional smile."Good afternoon, Mr. Blackwell. Is there anything I can help you with today? Perhaps skincare products for yourself or a gift for a colleague?" Sienna greeted him politely, using the same professional tone she would use with any customer.Damian's chest tighten

  • Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!   Chapter 10: Going Back to Work

    Sienna leaned back against the sofa, looking at Naomi with calm confidence in her eyes."We never needed someone who uses their help as a way to control us, Naomi," Sienna said firmly, yet reassuringly.Naomi froze. "What do you mean?""I've already set aside enough personal savings from my mother's inheritance to cover the foundation's operating expenses for the next two months," Sienna explained calmly. "And starting next week, I'm going back to work. I've already submitted applications for several job openings."Naomi's eyes widened. "You're going back to work? You haven't worked outside the house for an entire year. Can you really do it?""Yes, I can," Sienna answered confidently, her smile filled with determination. "I have a degree in Business Management that has been left unused for far too long. Now it's time to use it for myself and for our foundation. We can stand on our own, Naomi. Without the Blackwell family's support, and without relying on anyone else."Naomi stared at

  • Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!   Chapter 9: A New Beginning

    Night slowly settled over the quiet suburban neighborhood.Sienna sat on the edge of the wooden bed in her bedroom, gently rubbing her sore neck after spending the entire day cleaning the house.She had changed out of her casual clothes into a loose T-shirt and a pair of comfortable cotton pants.The sound of her growling stomach broke the silence of the room.Sienna smiled faintly and reached into her pocket to take out her new phone."I'll just order some food online tonight," Sienna murmured softly.However, her hand suddenly froze.Her thoughts drifted back to the days before—to the evenings when she always prepared dinner for Damian, when she faithfully played the role of an obedient wife without ever complaining.Sienna quickly closed her eyes and shook her head.She didn't want to think about Damian anymore.She was free now, just as they had agreed.She no longer owed Damian anything."Stop thinking about that house, Sienna. It was only a temporary place for you, and now you h

  • Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!   Chapter 8: Denying the Emptiness

    Joanna flinched at Damian's outburst.He had always been a cold man, but he rarely raised his voice like this when Sienna was home."Y-Yes, sir. I'll make it right away," Joanna replied with a trembling voice before hurrying back to the kitchen.Damian let out a frustrated snort.He roughly unbuttoned his suit jacket, and the moment he took it off, he tossed it onto one of the dining chairs.He slowly walked around the living room, his eyes scanning every corner of the house.The towering walls.The paintings worth hundreds of millions.The gleaming marble floors.Everything remained exactly the same.Nothing had changed physically.Yet an unmistakable emptiness lingered in every corner he passed.Damian made his way to the small study overlooking the back garden—the room where Sienna used to spend her time reading books or reviewing project analysis reports.The door was slightly open.Damian pushed it open gently.The room was spotless.The stacks of supporting documents were gone.

  • Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!   Chapter 7: They Need Sienna

    The room grew even colder.Hearing Sienna's name mentioned in front of Damian felt like triggering a time bomb that could explode at any moment.Damian fixed Mr. Hendra with a murderous glare.A painful silence lingered for several long seconds before Damian finally straightened his posture and adjusted the buttons of his suit jacket with slightly tense fingers."This company pays billions to employ a team of professionals," Damian said in a low, emphatic voice, "not to depend on a woman who isn't even part of the company's organizational structure."No one knew about their contract marriage, and because of that, no one could ever learn that Damian and Sienna's marriage contract had already ended.Damian rose abruptly from his chair and roughly grabbed his phone."This meeting is over," he said without looking back. "I don't want to hear any of you relying on Sienna. If this report isn't flawless by tomorrow morning, you and the entire analysis team are welcome to submit your resignat
