When the meeting adjourned, the board members stood, gathering their folders and exchanging polite farewells. Kathalina rose gracefully, tucking her papers neatly into her bag. Thirdie stood at the same time.

Fate or perhaps cruel design pulled them toward the same direction.

Thirdie’s voice cut through the lingering chatter of the conference room.

“Come to my office. We need to talk.”

Kathalina froze, weighing the request. For a heartbeat, she thought of refusing. But reality was sharper, ther

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 90: Temptation in the Dark- R18

    Kathalina’s eyelids slowly peeled open, heavy as if weighed down by stone. Heat burned through her body, restless and unbearable, coiling beneath her skin until even breathing felt difficult. Her throat was dry, almost painfully so, and every nerve in her body felt overly sensitive.The dim light from the bedside lamp barely illuminated the room, casting soft shadows across the suite and making everything feel distant and dreamlike. She blinked slowly, trying to clear the haze clouding her thoughts as fragments of memories drifted back into her mind in broken pieces…..Thirdie calling her name, strong arms carrying her, the cold rush of water from the shower.A faint blush crept onto her cheeks at the blurry recollection. Even in her confused state, she remembered enough to know he had saved her.Her eyes wandered around the room again, searching for him instinctively.But he wasn’t beside her.Slowly, she pushed herself upright despite the dizziness threatening to pull her back down.

    For a moment, she stayed still, silent, her breathing uneven, her body weak.Minutes passed slowly, stretching into nearly ten, and Thirdie remained by her side the entire time, his clothes damp, his attention unwavering as he watched her every movement.Just as he shifted slightly, intending to step out and ask for the next step, Kathalina suddenly reached out, her trembling fingers catching his sleeve.“Don’t leave…” she whispered, her voice fragile, filled with fear.He froze instantly.For a brief moment, he didn’t want to move at all. Every instinct in him told him to stay. But he knew he needed to act fast.“I’ll be right back,” he said gently, his voice softer than before.“I just need to ask something.”Carefully, he loosened her grip and moved toward the door, opening it just slightly. Through the narrow gap, he looked at Nigel.“What next?” Nigel’s expression was serious now, all traces of humor gone.“Dry her. Change her clothes. We need to stabilize her condition before any

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 88: The Hardest Choice

    The moment they stepped into the open air, everything stopped.Jeff froze. Steve looked away. Leon’s jaw tightened. Seeing her condition said everything without words.Thirdie carefully lowered her in his arms, making sure she was steady before he let go. Then, without hesitation, he removed his coat and wrapped it around her, shielding her from the cold and covering her fragile state as gently as he could. After that, he lifted her again into his arms, holding her securely as he turned and walked toward Jeff and Leon.“Secure the area,” he ordered sharply. “No leaks. No media. I don’t want her name anywhere in this.”Jeff nodded immediately. “Yes, sir. I’ll handle it.”Thirdie’s gaze shifted to Leon. “Make sure every suspect is accounted for. I want names, connections, everything.”Leon responded firmly, “Understood.”Thirdie adjusted his hold on Kathalina slightly, keeping her close as he continued, his voice low but deadly calm. “No one leaves this mountain without my permission.”

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 87: The Storm Unleashed

    The sound of gunfire gradually faded into the distance, replaced by heavy footsteps and sharp commands as the police and military secured the entire area. One by one, the remaining kidnappers were dragged out, their weapons confiscated, their resistance completely broken. Some had tried to fight back earlier; those men now lay motionless outside, a grim reminder of how quickly everything had collapsed.But none of that mattered to Thirdie. His focus was only one thing…..Kathalina. And she was still missing.Room after room was cleared, empty.Hallways nothing.The deeper they searched, the heavier the silence became.Jeff’s voice came through urgently, “Sir, we already checked the east side….nothing.”Leon scanned another corridor and added, “Upper floor is clear as well.”Steve clenched his fists tightly. “She has to be here somewhere…”Thirdie didn’t respond. His eyes were cold, sharp, and dangerous, like a man holding back a storm.Then they saw him.The man with the scar.Officer

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 86: The Breaking Point

    The door opened again, the sound echoing inside the small, dim room. Kathalina didn’t move. She remained seated on the cold cement floor, her back pressed against the wall, her expression calm despite everything. The tray of food in front of her was still untouched, now slightly scattered from earlier, and the bottle of water sat beside it. Two men stepped inside. One of them was the same man who had brought the food before, but this time, he wasn’t alone. The moment they noticed the untouched tray, their expressions darkened.“She didn’t eat?” the second man asked sharply.“Looks like it,” the first replied, clicking his tongue in irritation.They walked closer, their presence filling the small space with tension. Without warning, one of them grabbed Kathalina’s arm roughly, pulling her slightly forward. “Why didn’t you eat?” he demanded, his grip tightening.Kathalina looked at him, her gaze steady and unafraid. “I’m not hungry,” she answered calmly.The man frowned. “Then drink the

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 85: Eight Hours of Silence

    In Kathalina’s hotel room, the atmosphere was heavy with tension. Thirdie sat on the sofa in the living area, his posture relaxed, but the cold intensity in his eyes said otherwise.Across from him, Leon, Steve, and Jeff stood in silence, waiting. No one dared to speak lightly. The situation had already gone too far.“We’ve confirmed the location,” Steve finally said, breaking the silence. “An abandoned building near the mountain area. Our contacts have already informed the police, and backup is being prepared.” Leon nodded.“We also have people surrounding the area quietly. We just need the signal.”Jeff glanced at Thirdie, hesitating for a moment before speaking. “Sir… the plan is ready. But… are you sure you’re going there yourself?”The room fell silent again. Jeff swallowed. “This is clearly a trap. They want you there. Your life is at risk.”Thirdie didn’t respond immediately. His gaze remained fixed ahead calm, unreadable.“They’re not just after Miss Kathalina,” Jeff continued

    “Kathalina,” she said quietly, stepping forward. “I didn’t expect… I’m glad you’re here.”Kathalina smiled warmly and hugged her. “I’m finally here, Nana Maring. I’ve always wanted to see this place… and I missed you.”Nana Maring nodded, her expression calm but pleased.“It’s good to have you,” Na

    The office was silent except for the steady sound of typing and the soft hum of the air conditioner. The city outside was already wrapped in night, but Thirdie hadn’t noticed. He hadn’t eaten since noon, and his eyes were still fixed on the screen.Jeff stood near his desk, arms crossed, watching w

    The hum of the elevator was the only sound as Kathalina and Erika stepped inside, the polished steel doors sliding shut behind them. The brief meet-and-greet with the branch employees had gone better than either of them expected. Smiles, applause, curious whispers that carried both awe and exciteme

    After finalizing plans with Erika, Kathalina stepped out of the Manila branch, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the streets. She didn’t head straight back to the hotel. Her steps were deliberate, purposely she needed to check on the house she had grown up in, the one that had been
