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 fab

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 89: Between Desire and Restraint

    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

  • The CEO's Forbidden Wife   Chapter 84: The Truth She Chose to Believe

    Kathalina stayed quiet, her heart racing as doubts threatened to surface. She didn’t fully understand Thirdie. Even though he was mysterious, distant, and often cold, she knew he was a kind person. Deep inside, something told her he wasn’t cruel. The man she had loved for so long was caring, even if she hadn’t always seen it she could feel it in the way he protected her silently, never asking for anything in return, even if it meant hurting himself. Her fingers tightened around the necklace he had given her, seeking comfort in its weight. She lifted her gaze, trying to steady her voice despite the fear and confusion swirling inside her.“No,” she said softly, firm yet unsure. The man frowned, clearly not expecting that answer, sensing her inner strength even as her uncertainty lingered.“I don’t know your full story,” Kathalina continued, her voice steady, “but I know him.” She paused, then added carefully, “And I think… you’re blaming the wrong person.”The man’s expression darkened

  • 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 war

    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. In

    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
