After finishing their meal, Pia and Kathalina stepped into the lively rhythm of the mall. The hum of voices, the glow of bright lights, the polished floor gleaming under their feet all contrasted so strongly with the quiet of the restaurant they had just left.

Pia slipped her arm through Kathalina’s, as if she didn’t want to lose her in the crowd. Kathalina allowed it, walking quietly at her side. She didn’t care about shopping, never had, but this wasn’t about her. This was about Pia.

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 114: From Nothing to Everything

    “I left because I wanted to start over, far from everything I had known. I was hurt, I was lost, and I needed to find myself again, to remember who I was beyond the roles others had given me.” There was no bitterness in her tone, only the honest clarity of someone who had walked through darkness and found her way out.“So I went to Italy, the place I had dreamed of since I was a young girl, the heart of the fashion world, where art and beauty are woven into every street and every moment. I thought that stepping into that world, finding work at a small clothing company, meant my future had finally begun exactly as I had imagined.” She paused, and a soft, self-deprecating laugh escaped her lips.“But just one month later… the company went completely bankrupt.” A ripple of gentle laughter spread through the audience, lightening the mood, as they understood the irony of her beginnings. Even Kathalina smiled, shaking her head slightly at the memory.“My friend Erica and I suddenly found ou

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 113: The Secret, The Story, The Woman

    His earlier quiet fascination transformed into something far darker and more intense. His eyes gleamed with sharp, hungry interest, locking onto her figure with even greater fixation than before. A slow, twisted smile curled at the corners of his lips, and a clear, malicious glint shone in his eyes, visible to anyone who might have bothered to look his way.So that is who you really are, he thought, his mind spinning with greedy excitement. Not just a wealthy man’s wife… but the elusive genius behind a global empire, a name that commands respect and wealth everywhere. You are far more valuable, far more rare, and far more powerful than I ever imagined.He leaned forward slightly, his gaze raking over her with open, predatory admiration, his smirk deepening into something arrogant and sinister.All the better, he told himself confidently, his heart racing with twisted ambition. A woman of your beauty, your talent, and your status… You are the ultimate prize. It does not matter who you

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 112:The Woman Behind the Name

    They had never seen her before, never even caught a glimpse of her face. But now, looking at the woman standing under the spotlight: poised, kind, brilliant, and breathtakingly beautiful, everyone gazed at her with pure astonishment and awe. She was no longer just a name or a mystery; she was the heart and soul behind Eternal Vow, and in that moment, she was unforgettable.All the guests were stunned into silence, their eyes wide with shock. Camera flashes lit up the entire hall as reporters snapped photo after photo, desperate to capture the face of the woman who had been nothing but a mystery for years. Admiration and awe rippled through the crowd, yet alongside it, seeds of doubt began to take root in some minds.“Is it truly her?” a wealthy socialite whispered to her companion, leaning forward in her seat, eyes fixed on the stage. “The Layla? The one they say only designs for royalty and billionaires abroad? I always imagined someone older, more intimidating… not someone so young

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 111: Layla’s True Identity

    Five long seconds passed, yet she remained standing there in the middle of the runway, frozen, her face pale as paper, trembling visibly under the spotlight.From their seats, Kathalina and Erica noticed immediately that something was wrong. They exchanged a quick, alarmed glance; both knew exactly what was happening. They knew this was Hana’s first major event, and they could see the terror written all over the young woman’s face. Without a word, both women started to rise from their chairs, ready to rush to her aid.But Leonel acted fast, gently but firmly pulling Erica back down to her seat.“You can’t go,” he whispered urgently, supporting her arm. “You’re pregnant, wearing heels, and this place is packed with people. Moving recklessly in a crowd like this is dangerous for you and the baby. Stay here.”Erica looked back at him, worried and helpless, but she knew he was right.Seeing Erica hold back, Kathalina did not hesitate for another second. She turned and swiftly made her way

    In fact, she had been collecting pieces from their international lines for years; her wardrobe was already filled with their exclusive designs, something she considered a mark of her superior taste and status. As she listened to the endless stream of praise and admiration pouring from every corner of the hall, she wore a polite, knowing smile, as if their success was somehow connected to her own sophistication.Already, she was mentally listing down the new pieces she intended to order for herself right after the event ended.Beside her, Jade Rome continued to clap slowly, his expression relaxed and pleasant, masking the storm of thoughts brewing beneath the surface. He wore a look of enjoyment, as if he were truly appreciating the art and fashion on display, but his eyes were never once directed toward the runway or the magnificent designs parading under the lights.While everyone else was enchanted by the collection and deeply moved by the profound meaning of Eternal Vow, his gaze r

    “Now that is what I call a suit,” one of them remarked, leaning forward slightly with genuine interest. “The fabric alone speaks of quality, strength, and endurance. It’s sleek, modern, yet carries that timeless class that never goes out of style, just like a true vow. It perfectly captures the idea of standing firm and constant. I’ve been looking for something exactly like this for my most important commitments and milestones.”Another man beside him chuckled, nodding in complete agreement.“You won’t be the only one. Look around, everyone here is thinking the same thing. This brand… It’s not just clothing. It’s art with meaning. Whoever designs these pieces truly understands the weight of a promise and the beauty of something that lasts forever.”Even the critics and fashion editors, who were usually hard to please and quick to find fault, were nodding in genuine approval, scribbling notes rapidly in their books, clearly recognizing that tonight’s collection was something extraordin

    Jeff and Thirdie had long left the balcony, yet Kathalina still hadn’t gone inside to sleep. She remained standing there, wrapped in the cold breeze, her arms folded lightly against her chest as though to steady the rhythm of her racing heart. The night was quiet except for the faint rustle of the

    Kathalina rolled onto her side, hugging the pillow tightly against her chest as though it could protect her from the storm of emotions swirling inside. Her heart was restless. Thirdie’s words from earlier kept echoing, pulling her between anger, confusion, and a longing she hated to admit.After a

    Now, sitting on the veranda beside him, the memory pressed on her chest until she couldn’t hold it in anymore. The night air was cool, carrying the scent of pine, and the lanterns above them cast a soft golden glow. She placed her teacup down, her voice unsteadies but firm.“Thirdie,” she whispered

And now... he stood before her, confessing everythi
