The CEO's Forbidden Wife Chapter 72: Almost Ordinary Day
Kathalina woke up just before seven, as she always did. Even after sleeping late, her body never forgot the time. It was a habit she could never break. The city outside was still quiet, and the morning felt slow and gentle.Soft sunlight slipped through the thin gap in the curtains, spreading a warm, golden glow across the room. Dust floated quietly in the air, catching the light. For a moment, she lay still, listening to the faint hum of the city waking up.She blinked slowly and turned her head toward the pillow beside her. Reaching out, her fingers brushed against her phone. The screen lit up as soon as she touched it.Low battery.She let out a small sigh, the corners of her lips lifting slightly in tired amusement.She sighed quietly. “Of course.”Then she remembered. Thirdie had asked her not to end the call last night. Her heart softened a little. She wondered if he had ended it after seeing her fall asleep… or if he had stayed longer, just watching her. The thought made her ch
The CEO's Forbidden Wife Chapter 71: He Never Looked Away
Pia’s first reaction was shock.She stared at Thirdie, eyes wide, because she couldn’t believe he was talking to Kathalina. For a second, she thought she heard something wrong. But then she heard Kathalina’s soft voice clearly through the phone.Her shock quickly turned into pure joy.“What?” she gasped, walking quickly toward him. “Let me see!”She leaned beside Thirdie and looked at the phone screen. The moment she confirmed it was really Kathalina, her face lit up like a child who just received the best surprise.Without hesitation, she grabbed the phone from Thirdie’s hand.“Oh my gosh! I didn’t know you were on the phone!” Pia said excitedly. “I’ve missed you so much! I wanted to talk to you for so long!”Thirdie shook his head with a small, teasing smile. “Mom, behave. You’re scaring her.”“Scaring her?” Pia snapped, ignoring him. “I should be scaring you, Thirdie! You never eat, you never rest, and now you’re calling her late at night? What were you thinking?”Then suddenly, Pi
The CEO's Forbidden Wife Chapter 70: Under the Same Night Sky
After sending it, she set her phone aside and went straight to the bathroom. The warm water washed away the long day meetings, travel, worries she didn’t say out loud. She followed her usual night routine slowly, taking her time, letting herself breathe.When she was done, she changed into comfortable sleepwear and sat back on the bed, drying her hair. Just then, her phone buzzed.Thirdie was calling.She answered, and his face appeared on the screen.“Video call?” he asked softly.She nodded. “Sure.”She noticed right away that he wasn’t home. The background was dark, the lights unfamiliar.“It’s already past one,” she said gently. “Why are you still outside?”He paused for a second, then smiled. “Late meeting,” he replied calmly. “It ran longer than expected.”She looked at him closely, not fully convinced, but she didn’t push. “You should rest,” she said. “You’ve been working too much.”He smiled again, softer this time. “You too.”She lay back against the pillows, phone held abov
The CEO's Forbidden Wife Chapter 69: Eyes in the Dark
In Davao, across the quiet street from the hotel, a man leaned against his car. The city lights reflected on the windshield, hiding his face in shadow. His posture looked relaxed, but his eyes never left the building.His phone rested in his palm, half-covered, as if even the night should not know what he was doing.“Sir,” he said quietly into the phone. “Kathalina Ruiz has arrived.”At the other end of the line, Harold listened in silence.“She’s with two companions,” the man continued. “No visible bodyguards.”There was a short pause.“Can you move?” Harold asked calmly.“Yes,” the man replied without hesitation. “Stone let her travel freely. No guards close to her. But her boss and best friend is Erica Reed, the wife of Leonel Reed from Reed Corporation. He’s influential too.”Harold did not answer right away.His fingers tapped slowly against his desk as he thought.Did Thirdie really allow Kathalina to come to Davao without protection?That didn’t sound like him at all.If Thirdi
The CEO's Forbidden Wife CHAPTER 68: The Trap Begins
Two hours later, the plane touched down in Davao.Kathalina felt the familiar pull of exhaustion the moment her feet hit the ground, but she didn’t slow down. She had never allowed tiredness to win, not when work was waiting.Steve and Erica walked beside her as they left the airport and headed straight to the hotel. Erica had already booked the rooms ahead of time, so check-in was smooth and quick. The bellboy took their luggage, promising to bring everything up to their rooms.“I’m starving,” Erica said the moment they were done. “We didn’t even eat before coming to the airport.”Kathalina nodded. “Let’s eat first, then rest. We start early tomorrow.”They chose the hotel restaurant and sat near the window. Outside, the city lights of Davao glowed softly, calm and quiet compared to Manila.Steve stood up. “I’ll go to the restroom first.”“I’ll call my husband,” Erica said, already pulling out her phone as she walked a few steps away.Left alone for a moment, Kathalina stared out the
The CEO's Forbidden Wife CHAPTER 67: The Flight to Davao
It was 8 p.m. when Erica and Steve stepped into Kathalina’s office. The quiet click of the door sounded unusually loud on the top floor, where only a few executives remained working.“Boss, it’s time. We need to head to the airport,” Steve said, glancing at his watch.Kathalina looked up from the pile of sketches and fabric batches on her desk. The Davao gala had originally been Erica’s project. Normally, Kathalina wouldn’t have handled it personally, but Erica hadn’t been feeling well. She had insisted on accompanying Kathalina to make sure everything went smoothly.“Oh, come on, Kath,” Erica teased, leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed. “Did you tell your boyfriend slash ex-husband that you’re leaving the city tonight?”Kathalina groaned, hiding her face in her hands.“Oh, please, Erica, stop teasing me.” She knew how much they loved pushing her buttons.“Right, boss,” Steve added with a grin. “If you didn’t tell him, he’d probably burn the city down just to find you.
