The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 9 – Let's Break Up for Now
Zora had no intention of taking that path. Her goal was to learn new skills to help develop the business she wanted to set up. Having honed her skills with the Gannons, it lifted her spirits, making her realize how profitable she could be in that field.“My mom moved in circles in the movie industry. It just doesn’t appeal to me.”She didn’t want to mention Coco either and instead added, “I’d rather explore something different. I want to learn ethical hacking, clothing design, and modeling. Anything related to fashion is what I want to pursue,” she said thoughtfully.The best revenge would be to develop herself to be better than she was before, and when she succeeds, she would ensure that nobody could help Piper for what she did to her unborn child.Although Coco knew that Zora could still achieve all the aforementioned with help from her parents, she still couldn't allow her to stay alone at the apartment.“While you're at it, don’t let this opportunity pass you by. I just don’t want
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 10 – Do You Still Want to Break Up with Me?
“I’m sorry, Piper, but let’s break up for now,” Ezrah's expression was aloof as he delivered those words as if they were inconsequential. Piper was dumbfounded, shock registering on her face.After carefully orchestrating that accident to leave no traces behind, she was relieved that even though Zora had escaped, another accident claimed her life, indicating that fate had intervened.Just when Piper thought everything was finally falling into place as it should have been, Ezrah dropped this heartbreaking news.“Ezrah, what are you talking about?” Her expression was so glum that not even all the makeup could brighten it. It was as if she had just risen from the grave.Ezrah remained aloof. At that moment, all he could think about was the Company and his image in front of the media.He may not have been a good husband to Zora, but she had still protected him. How could he let her sacrifices be in vain? Being with Piper would only disrespect those sacrifices.“You heard me, Piper. My wif
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 11 – Kicking out Piper and his brothers
“Well, that is my condition. If you break up with me, I will tell my father to withdraw everything. So, what do you think? Do you still want to break up with me?”Piper was certain that Ezrah would change his mind. After all, he prioritized money more than anything in the world.Ezrah thought carefully. That partnership would boost the Gannons’ finances by twenty percent, but if he moved on so fast, then it would only confirm Ethan’s accusation that Piper was the reason for Zora’s death.In the worst case, he would lose his position to either of his elder brothers, and that would also mean disaster for the company, which has thrived over the years under Ezrah’s leadership. After coming to a conclusion, he pushed the file he was scrutinizing before back to her.“You should know by now that I’m not one who flinches at threats. Goodbye, Piper.”Piper was so shocked, a tear dropped down her cheek. Was Ezrah planning to remarry Zora’s dead body? How could he let go of such an opportunity b
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 12 - Go back and audition
Coco had forgotten to warn Zora about the Queen of the movie industry, Bianca Davis. Anyone who wanted to climb higher would have to kowtow to her as she was the fiancée of the producer, Zane Green himself. The actresses patronized her as her recommendations were always final, and no one dared to cross Bianca. Sadly, Coco was not in Bianca’s good books as a result of continuously refusing to dance to her tune. She ended up not only with minor roles but also with bullying like this during auditions or the main shoot. “It's alright, Zora. Please don’t get into trouble,” Coco whispered in her ears, but Zora was too upset to be reasoned with. Having dealt with Ezrah’s brothers, she hated the likes of Bianca, who felt like the world revolved around them. Director Sonny saw everything unfold and did not utter a word. It seemed like Bianca met her match this time or Coco got the right person to stand in her defense. “No. She stepped on your foot. I saw it, and she has to apologize,” Zora

Zora felt at a loss. If the producer sacked her, then who was this man to tell her otherwise? Perhaps it was because he hadn’t seen what had transpired earlier. She tried to explain it to him. “But…” “He’s Mr. Newman,” Coco took the words out of her mouth. Zora stared at her with confusion on her face, not knowing who Mr. Newman was. Coco understood the confusion on her face, going on to explain. “The biggest investor of the production. He must have seen everything through the CCTV.” It was one of Mr. Newman’s hobbies to casually check if his money was being put to good use. One of his clauses was also to bring up new faces in the movie industry, as viewers tend to get tired of the old ones unless they are extremely good. It was better for him to weigh his options the right way. Zora was glad the studio had cameras. At least there was someone higher than Zane to give justice to someone like her. She stole a glance at him, seeing how the man had paled, and even Bianca had moved away
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 14 – What would you do in my shoes?
Mr. Newman’s expression was slightly sorrowful as he revealed, “As a babysitter.” Zora scoffed and was about to refuse when he made the greatest revelation. “But you would have to marry him. It’s simple. I want you to marry my son for one year. I will pay you handsomely for it.” Zora didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard. After experiencing a loveless marriage firsthand, she was not willing to make that mistake again. Not even someone as powerful as Mr. Newman could make her consider it. “Mr. Newman, I think you have the wrong person. I’m neither ready to be a babysitter nor get married. I’m sorry, but you just wasted your time.” She opened the car door, about to step out when he explained calmly, “My son had an accident and is in a vegetative state. Before that, a girl was pregnant for him but died giving birth to his child on the same day he had the accident.” Zora paused, puzzled by the revelation. This situation seemed more
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 15 – You came at the right time
Coco weighed the options. Zora had married Ezrah with a prenup, but in this situation, she would walk away as a billionaire. She only wanted the best for her best friend, telling her exactly what she would have done under the same circumstances, given the same situation. “It’s not a bad idea since he’s in a vegetative state. You can check his health records and make sure he isn’t waking up anytime soon. Also, make sure you put everything into writing. Have the contract signed in your interest.” “Trust me, that money would be a great start-up for whatever business you want to venture into. Minor roles would never give you that amount even in twenty years.” Zora thought through Coco’s suggestions. Her family’s net worth was worth millions, and after a few years, she could return to New York after her companies were flourishing and begin to avenge her dead child. “I think you have a point, but I will still think about it a little. Let’s eat first. I need a lot of rest.” Back in New Y
The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife Chapter 16 – I won't just believe that she's dead
Lake Chapman was Ezrah’s best friend since childhood. However, unlike Ezrah, he only had a sister who didn’t care about the family business. The dark side of it was the fact that all the pressure remained on Lake, making him too busy to even listen to the news.If his sister had not called him to gossip about Ezrah’s predicament because she had eyes on Ezrah unknown to Lake, he would not have taken time off his busy schedule. With two busy friends, it was almost impossible to see each other.Phone calls were even a luxury between the friends. Ezrah had not thought about calling him since the tragedy, not wanting to burden him with his bad luck, but since Lake was in his office, he could download everything to the latter.Lake was saddened, taking in Ezrah’s tired form and asked seriously, “So what is this I’m hearing about your wife? I mean, I never got to know her but she seemed like
