Instead, she lowered her eyes again, hiding the storm behind them.

You’re screaming at the person you’re trying to protect, Kathalina thought coldly.

How ironic.

Her fingers returned to the fabric, steady and precise, as if the tension around her didn’t exist. Every stitch was clean. Controlled. Intentional.

“I followed instructions,” Kathalina said quietly, her voice even.

“And I stand by my work.”

There was no apology in her tone.

Inside her chest, something hardened.

You humiliate employees.

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 82: The Secret Erica Discovered

    After they entered the room, Leonel gently helped Erica lie down on the bed. He could see how shaken she was her eyes were red, her hands still trembling. He understood her fear. Kathalina wasn’t just anyone. She was Erica’s best friend.“Stay here, honey. I’ll get you some water,” Leonel said softly after settling her on the bed.But before he could stand, Erica quickly grabbed his hand, holding it tightly.“Leonel… do you think Thirdie can really find her?” she asked, her voice weak and full of worry.Leonel sat back down beside her and pulled her into a gentle hug. “Absolutely,” he said with quiet confidence. “You don’t know that man well enough. He’ll tear Davao apart if he has to, just to find his wife.”He let out a small laugh, trying to lighten the mood.Erica looked at him, a bit surprised. “Really, hon?” she asked, a small hint of hope in her voice.Leonel nodded and gently brushed her hair. “Hmm… so don’t worry too much. He’ll do everything to bring her back.”Then he look

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 81: Racing Against Time

    Thirdie’s private jet touched down on the landing area of the exclusive hotel in Davao. The engines hummed to silence as he leaned back, exhaustion heavy in his bones. He hadn’t checked his phone all morning. He’d wanted to surprise Kathalina, but the moment he landed, Steve’s urgent call had shattered the calm.He looked forward and saw Jeff in the front seat, eyes wide and nervous. The man didn’t know who had called, but seeing Thirdie’s expression, he understood that it was bad news.Even the pilot, seated at the front with Jeff, felt the sudden shift in the air. The tension inside the jet turned heavy, almost suffocating. He didn’t know what had happened, but seeing Thirdie’s expression, cold, sharp, and dangerous, was enough to make him uneasy.Jeff sat stiffly beside him, not daring to speak. Both of them could feel it clearly.Something was wrong.And whatever it was… it had pushed their boss to a level they had never seen before.“The team assigned to protect Kathalina… who’s

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 80: Vanished Without a Trace

    Outside the restaurant, hidden in the quiet shadows across the street, a man lowered his phone after making a call. His voice had been calm, almost casual, as he delivered the message. “She’s already secured,” he reported. “The men have her.”Thousands of miles away, in a high-rise office in Dubai, Harold leaned back in his chair, a slow smile forming on his lips. The city lights reflected against the glass walls behind him, but his attention was fixed on the report he had just received.“Good,” he murmured, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest.“Very good.” His eyes darkened with satisfaction. “Let’s see what you’ll do now, Thirdie…” Harold muttered with a smirk, leaning back in his chair. He didn’t believe Thirdie would stay still after this.Back in Davao, time passed slowly at first.At the restaurant table, Erica glanced toward the hallway again, her brows slightly furrowed.“She’s taking a bit long,” she said softly.Steve looked up from his seat. “Maybe the line’s long?”

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 79: Taken in Silence

    The employees were still confused, their thoughts in complete chaos after everything that had happened. No one dared to speak. The tension in the room was still heavy, and everyone quietly watched what would happen next.Steve casually took a sip of his coffee before handing the other cup to Kathalina. “Here, your coffee, ma’am,” he said in a relaxed tone. Kathalina accepted it with a calm expression. “Thank you, Steve,” she replied softly.Steve then glanced around the room and asked, “So… who caused the problem?”No one answered.The employees lowered their heads, afraid to get involved. Seeing this, Leon stepped forward. “It was Alysa and the branch manager, Raol,” he said. “But it’s already handled.” Erica nodded slightly, her face calm. “Oh… that foolish Alysa again,” she said. “And her lover the branch manager.” There was no surprise in her voice, only disappointment.“Anyway, good job handling it, Leon,” she added. Leon nodded and gave a small smile to her cousin.Erica then

    Everyone gasped.Alysa stared at Raol in disbelief, her trembling hand slowly rising to her cheek. The sharp sting of the slap burned against her skin, but the pain in her chest was far worse. Ever since their relationship began, Raol had always spoiled her, giving her everything she wanted. Never, not even once, did she imagine that the man who treated her like a queen would raise his hand against her.“Raol… you… you hit me?” she cried, her voice breaking into pieces.Tears filled her eyes as she looked around, hoping desperately for someone to speak, to defend her, to say something. But all she saw were shocked faces. Employees and guests passing by stood frozen, their silence louder than any words. No one moved. No one dared.Her humiliation was complete.Raol, breathing heavily, his face twisted with anger and panic, suddenly grabbed her arm roughly and began dragging her toward the exit. His grip was tight, almost painful, as if he was trying to pull her away from the consequenc

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 77: The Calm Before the Fall

    Kathalina looked at Raol and Alysa with a bored expression.Not angry.Not offended.She had already wasted enough time listening to their shouting. Tomorrow’s showcase was important, and there were still gowns that needed to be checked one by one. Every seam, every accessory, every detail had to be perfect.Arguing with people like them was simply a waste of time.Without another word, she turned back to the clothing rack and continued arranging the dresses.Her hands moved calmly over the fabric, smoothing wrinkles and checking the stitching with quiet focus.The silence around her only made the tension in the room heavier.Alysa felt her chest burn with anger.She noticed something that made her even more furious.Raol was distracted.His eyes kept drifting toward Kathalina.Not with anger.But with confusion… curiosity…and even admiration.Alysa clenched her fists.Why is he looking at her like that?Her nails dug into her palm.Kathalina wasn’t even arguing. She wasn’t defending

    It was nearly midnight by the time they arrived in Manila. Kathalina had already fallen asleep during the long ride, her head resting against Thirdie’s shoulder without realizing he had placed it there. Jeff, seated at the front, broke the silence.“Sir, where are we heading? Her place… or yours?”

    The dining table was quiet except for the soft clinking of plates and the faint sound of birds outside. Morning light poured through the large windows, filling the room with warmth. The smell of warm bread and freshly cooked eggs lingered in the air.Kathalina sat across from Thirdie, her hands fol
