Chapter 55: Maia's Star
Maia
There he was— Clyden, the love of my life, standing in the very middle of the road. The sun shone down on his face, making him have an indescribable glow. The sun was still shining, but his smile shone even brighter.
I felt the wind brushing through my hair, but the cold had long been forgotten. The person right in front of me was the embodiment of the sun, and his warmth emanated just from his gaze, masquerading as a pleasant hug.
The sight brought tears to my eyes. I came here knowing that Clyden had gotten in an accident, but this is just as tear-jerking as the thought of him getting hurt.
He walked closer to me while I became a blubbering mess.
“Why—What… Karl told me that you’re hurt. How could you even walk right now?” I stammered.
He pulled me into his chest and comforted me. “Shh, Shh,” he said. “I’m okay. Don’t cry. I’m sorry,” he said while caressing my hair.
I looked up at him from his chest and wiped off my tea
Sand KastleThank you all for reading this book! This was such a journey for Maia and Clyden, and I hope you loved it just as much as I did. I was having a dilemma on how to end the book, but I think this one's a good attempt—to have Maia be remembered as she deserves it. Thank you once again, and I love you all!!

KarlToday is an important day. My boss, Sir Clyden, just asked me for a favor. I refused at first, but when I heard about his reason, I had no choice but to agree.I was standing in a cornfield, talking to Maia about Clyden getting into an accident. This was all a lie, of course. This is just Clyden’s scheme to get Maia running after him like crazy.“Have you finished the call?” Clyden asked, emerging from the cornfield.“Yes, sir,” I said and handed him my work phone. “I’ll be sitting here and waiting for your signal. Just press the home button when you need me to turn all of the lights on.”“Good. Good,” he nodded his head. “Thanks for this, Karl. I’d give you a hefty bonus when we get back.”“Looking forward to it, sir!” I said and bowed.I pulled out my folding chair and placed it in between the corn stems. I scratched the

Clyden“So, where are you taking Maia today, Clyden?” Maia’s mom, Victoria, asked me once I entered the kitchen. I had just woken up while Maia was still in bed. I know better than to wake her up since she’s going to be grumpy all day if I do.I tilted my head to the side, confused. “Why? Is there a special occasion today?”She dropped her ladle and turned to me with wide eyes. “Did you forget?”“Forget about what?” I asked, still confused.She gasped in surprise and covered her mouth. “Come on. Think about it a little bit more. Today’s the 16th of January.”My eyes went wide when the realization came to me. “Shit,” I cursed under my breath.“Oh god! You really forgot! Haven’t you planned anything?”I shook my head and pulled my hair in anger. How could I forget our wedding anniversary?! What am I going to do now? M
The CEO's Forgotten Wife PROLOGUE
I tapped my foot on the hardwood floor and bit my lips in anxiety as I waited for my name to be called. I’ve been here multiple times, but I never seem to have the strength to push through with my decision. This time around, though, I promised myself that I’d finally be able to file our divorce papers. My heart may not like the idea of divorcing Clyden, but my mind tells me that this will be the best decision for the both of us. I’m also pretty sure the Clyden would love the idea of us finally separating. I am the only one who’s still holding onto our broken relationship, after all. “Mrs. Gonzalo. The attorney is ready to see you now.” I stood up and wiped my sweaty hands on my jeans. I probably should have worn something more formal, but this was a last-minute decision.

Maia I sat down at the dining room table and waited for my husband’s return. It was his birthday today, and I wanted to celebrate it with him. I cooked all of his favorite food and even traveled for an hour to his favorite bakeshop just to buy the chocolate cake that he loves. “Ma’am, Mr. Gonzalo is currently out on a business meeting with the Ledgers, and he will most definitely not be coming home tonight. I would advise you to go back to your room and not wait for him anymore so that I can clean up the table.” I’d been waiting for about an hour when Gertrude, the Gonzalo family’s maid, came in to persuade me not to wait for him anymore. For some reason, I always feel like Gertrude isn’t very fond of me. Al
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 2: Chasing Clyden
MaiaI felt a surge of happiness when I thought about the first time that I met Clyden. Thinking of this, I slapped myself awake and waited for Clyden’s return.Finally, at 1 AM in the morning, Clyden finally came back.He was wearing a black suit, but he had already removed his blazer and placed it on his shoulder. His sleeves were also folded up, and the first three buttons of his dress shirt were unbuttoned. Overall, he looked disheveled and tired but still as handsome as ever.“You’re back!” I excitedly said and ran to where he was. I had already forgotten about how long I had waited for him, and I was surrounded with happiness. Clyden, however, remained silent and just looked at th

Five years agoMaia“Are you sure about this?” Camille asked as we walked over to the basketball court.“Yes, I’ve never felt this way to a guy before, so I think I should give it a chance,” I said and breathed in deeply.“You’re fucking insane! Who the hell confesses to a guy in front of the entire student body during a basketball championship? Only you, Maia, only you.”She’s right, though! What I’m going to be doing is definitely insane.“How come you’re so persistent? He’s been acting indifferent toward your advances for the past few months, yet you still have the guts to ask him out in public?” She asked incredulously.I shrugged my shoulders. “He’s charming in that matter! Almost all of my suitors back then would want me to say yes right away, but Clyden understands me! He’s giving me such a fun
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 4: Rejecting Maia
ClydenI woke up at exactly 5:00 in the morning. I always have to wake up early since I still have to cook for my younger siblings and cousins. My family was currently living in our ancestral home because we couldn’t afford to move out and pay for rent every month. Although the house is a little bit cramped, I am thankful that grandma and grandpa still accepted us into their home. They may be a little bit bossy at times, but I think it's only normal since we’re intruding in their home.I cooked for exactly 12 people, and it was about 6:30 AM when I was done. My relatives were now going down the stairs and sitting down in their respective seats. There were only ten seats at the dining room table, so my elder sister and I would stand up to eat.I went upstairs, taking two steps at a time, to come to fetch my mom for breakfast. I gently knocked on her door and waited for her to respond.“Come in,” she said, so I opened the door and ma
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 5: Avoiding Clyden
MaiaI was woken up by my blaring alarm clock, and I could already feel that this was going to be a long day. I crankily got out of bed and did my shower routine slower than usual. I still needed to go to school since I didn’t want my parents to worry, especially my dad.I put on some plain clothes and simple make-up and went downstairs to eat my breakfast. My parents were already sitting at the table, so I tried to put up a fake smile while making my way over to them.“Good morning, mom,” I greeted while kissing her on the cheek.“Morning, dad,” I bowed to him, which he only greeted back with a nod.My father and I have always never been that close. He would always be busy with work ever since I was young, and I would rarely see him at home. He also never attended any of my milestones, so I guess it's only natural that our feelings became distant from each other.He’s also very conscious of our family ima
