Chapter 13: Cooking for Clyden
Maia
After my shift at dawn, I went to the Gonzalo family’s mansion and went straight to the kitchen. I made sure to come here early in the morning so that no one would be awake yet. I’m afraid that the maids will see me cooking food here and accuse me of hogging all of the pantry’s contents. Even worse is if Clyden’s grandparents see me here. They both hate my guts, and rightfully so.
I gently placed the ingredients that I bought from the supermarket on the counter. I slowly brought out the utensils that I needed to use so as to not make any noise. I started whipping up the ingredients that I needed for Clyden’s favorite food— cheesecake.
When looking at Clyden’s appearance, one might think that he only likes savory and spicy food. However, he has a sweet tooth! I found out about this during college when he would always eat the cream bread that I’d bring to school. He even once asked me where I bought them.

MaiaI was currently on a train bound to the venue of the wedding where I was assigned to work. I’m actually working two jobs at the moment to make ends meet. During the nights and dawns, I’d work in a convenience store in the city. While during the days, I'd work as a photographer.Some of you might be wondering why I didn’t pursue a career that was pertinent to my course, but it’s quite difficult to go into the field of your dad’s past expertise.My father was a very rich and famous businessman, and many admired our family for being one of the richest in the country. However, some of my dad’s colleagues joined together to expose his corruption and embezzlement of the company’s funds. From then on, he was forced to give up his enterprises, and we gathered a huge amount of debt. More so than that, our family became the laughing stock of the business industry.My father, who valued his reputation a lot, couldn&rsqu

Maia“Maia? What are you doing here?” She asked.“Emily?” My voice showed surprise. I looked at her bright blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, and pink lips. Without a doubt, this is Emily. She was one of my close friends in college, and she was the captain of the cheerleading team back then. She was the one I asked for help for my surprise confession for Clyden back then.We both looked at each other in shock before she made the first move to hug me. I was caught off guard for a second that I didn’t know what to do with my hands, but after a couple of seconds, I gently brought my arms around her waist. I didn’t want to ruin her dress, so I didn’t press onto her too hard.“Oh my god, Maia! It is you. You haven’t changed a bit from college,” she said while breaking off the hug.I chuckled. “I could say the same about you.”She looked at my stature and saw the camera aroun
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 16: Jealous Maia
MaiaI looked at her once again as I poured her a cup of water. She was wearing a red dress paired with red heels. I don’t know whether this is her casual outfit or something, but her red dress shined against the hospital light.This is the first time that I’ve seen her in person, and I must say that she looks just like she does on television. All of the stories that I’ve heard about her in the house seem to be true too. Clyden’s grandparents always rave about her for being a well-mannered young woman with a good background. Granted that her parents also own a large enterprise, she naturally became close to Clyden because of the partnership of their businesses.I must have been staring at her for too long because she cleared her throat and turned away from me slightly. I blushed and looked away. “I’m sorry, that was rude of me. Please continue on with your conversation. I’ll be waiting outside.”I walked awa
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 17: Home with Clyden
MaiaAfter a week of waiting and whining, Clyden is finally going to be discharged from Haven Hospital. It's like he gained unbelievable strength on the day of his discharge because he walked out of the hospital all by himself. It made me feel like he was putting up an act for the past few days because I even had to feed him! He's practically prancing out of the hospital right now.Once we reached the exit, Karl was already waiting for us inside a Rolls Royce. Some of the patients and workers looked at the bright and fancy car, so I hastened my steps to avoid their gazes. I opened the door for Clyden and guided him to the back seat. I tried to close the door and enter the passenger's seat, but Clyden held onto my hand before I could do so."You'd have more space for yourself if I sit on the front seat," I said and tried to pull my hand away. However, to my surprise, he also pulled my hand towards him, causing me to fall over on his lap. I quickly got up to see i

MaiaI led Clyden up the stairs, still not forgetting about what he had said earlier. I thought that he’d agree to his grandma’s proposition right away, but I was surprised when he refused right off the bat. My heart was still accelerating from his words, so I had to take in deep breaths to calm my heart and mind.I opened the door to his room and led him to the bed. Yes, this is his solo room. That is one of the many things that he asked for in our marriage— for us to have separate rooms. Actually, the bedroom that I’m currently staying in should have been our shared bed, but he wanted to sleep in a separate room, so he had one built opposite of mine.I fixed his clothes in the closet while he was getting ready to shower in the bathroom. I was busy hanging his pants when he suddenly called my name.“Maia.”I turned around and saw him without a shirt. I screamed in surprise and covered both of my eyes. “Wha

MaiaI finally got back from my six-hour shift, and it was now half-past 7 in the morning. I was in the kitchen, planning to cook breakfast for Clyden, when Gertrude, the Gonzalo family’s head maid, suddenly went inside the kitchen.She looked at the ingredients on the kitchen counter and asked, “What are you doing so early in the morning?”“Oh, I just wanted to cook some breakfast for Clyden,” I responded.I heard her softly scoff and placed some of the ingredients back in the pantry. “Umm, I was going to use that,” I said.“Clyden prefers the food that we cook, Miss Maia. Don’t you remember from back then? He didn't eat at all when you were the one who prepared his breakfast. We were the ones assigned with cooking his breakfast, so you don’t have to bother yourself with this anymore,” she fakely smiled.I retrieved some of the ingredients that she placed back and also fakely
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 20: Visiting with Clyden
MaiaEdith’s eyes narrowed, and her voice became an octave higher. “What? Why would you go and visit that— that wenc—.”“It’s okay, Clyden. I’m just going in for a quick visit. Besides, the hospital that my mom is in is quite far from the city. You shouldn’t be traveling that far with all your injuries.”Edith didn’t get to finish her sentence because I interrupted her. Although she didn’t get to say the last word completely, I had a feeling of what she was going to call my mom— wench. I know that what we did to their family was awful, but there was no way that I was going to let her call my mother like that.“No, but I really do want to go and visit your mother. I feel bad that you weren’t able to visit her for the past few weeks since you took care of me in the hospital. I think it’s only respectful that I visit her and explain what has happened. Don’t

ClydenI stayed silent for the entire train ride after Maia revealed that her father had already died. For some reason, I felt like she didn’t want to talk about the topic anymore, so I didn’t push it. The silence was getting kind of awkward, so I was glad when we finally arrived at our destination.She held onto my wrists, her small and delicate hands spreading warmth on my cold extremities. The first time I saw her, I had a good feeling of her personality. It feels like she wasn’t one of the many people who only visited me for their personal gain.Moreover, she’s probably one of the prettiest women that I’ve ever seen. When Karl said that she was my wife, I felt happy. It felt like I had a good life even before the accident.However, everything’s just so confusing. I feel like the people in my family are not very fond of Maia. It’s also strange that I haven’t visited my mother-in-law for two years. There a
