The CEO’s Savage Ex-Wife

It was the third anniversary of the JS Group. A lot of elite guests showed up to celebrate the anniversary with the reputable CEO, Julian, who had founded the company and built it up from scratch. Sydney, Julian’s wife, sat with one of the shareholders of the company, Ashley, watching her husband with a proud smile as he gave a speech at the podium. “… I’m so grateful to everyone who came to celebrate with us tonight. Three years ago, this company was just something I had envisioned, but thanks to Ashley, the company has become what it is today,” Julian said, smiling warmly at Ashley.. “Please give her a round of applause.” Sydney’s smile dropped. Ashley wasn’t even his wife yet he was flaunting her before everyone. Sydney tightened her hand around her glass of wine as she thought, if only he knew she was the one who had invested in his company three years ago. The whole audience rose to their feet and clapped. Ashley covered her face with her hands, smiling shyly. “Please don

“You must really think you are worth being called my wife.” Julian mocked her, his voice laced with disgust. “All you did was take my money like a spoiled brat and spend it on other men! It is obvious I’m way out of your league, Sydney. So stop wasting my time and sign the divorce papers!” With a heavy heart, Sydney signed the papers and flung it at Julian. “Pick it up and get out,” without looking at him, she said. “Also, don’t worry about me staying here, I will be leaving in the morning.” As Julian walked out of her bedroom, a lone tear dropped down Sydney’s eyes. Just in one day, she had lost both her baby and her husband. The next morning, Sydney had arranged all her belongings in several suitcases. She zipped up the last suitcase and took one last look at her bedroom. It used to be theirs before Julian moved out. She would miss living in the same place with Julian, but as much as it would hurt her it was high time she moved on. The workers looked at Sydney with pity as she ca

After driving for an hour, the car parked in front of a magnificent mansion. The staff working at the mansion had already filed out to welcome Sydney. It had been five years since she had been home so they wanted her to feel welcomed on her arrival. The man who had come to pick her got down from the car and went to open the back door for Sydney. He was her father's personal chauffeur. Seeing that her father had sent his personal chauffeur to pick her up, Sydney felt her father must have missed her too and might have forgiven her for what she had done. Sydney got down from the car. Although it had been years since she left, the mansion looked the same and felt like home. The head of the staff stepped forward and bowed in courtesy. “Welcome home, Miss Steinfeld.” After greeting Sydney, she directed the staff on what to do. Some of the staff came to meet her and helped in removing her jacket and another collected her purse and placed it on a tray. Others went to the boot and took ou

Sdyney walked into the auction room and spotted Aleric sitting alone. He was Julian’s business rival as they both owned construction companies and usually competed for projects. She walked towards him and sat down, crossing her legs as she got herself comfortable. She turned to his side and said, “You must be the famous Aleric.” The man turned and focused his attention on Sydney, his brow raising slightly as he studied her face. “I’m sorry, do I know who you are?” Aleric asked politely. “I’m Sydney, Julian's ex-wife,” Sydney replied with a dry smile. Aleric looked surprised. “I didn’t know you guys had divorced. I’m sorry to hear about that,” he said calmly. Sydney shook her head. She picked up a drink from the tray of a passing waiter before saying, “Please don't be. The divorce was for the best.” She studied Aleric. He was handsome and had a muscular build, but he wasn't as hot as Julian. Wait, why was she even comparing him to Julian? “You must be wondering why I'm talkin

After the auction was over, Sydney went to the restroom. She met Ashley in the restroom, standing proudly before a mirror. She was retouching her mascara along her eyelashes when she noticed Sydney’s presence. She lowered the mascara brush from her face and scoffed. “What are you doing here?” Sydney fought the urge to roll her eyes as she walked past Ashley. “This is a restroom.” Ashley caressed the heart of the sea necklace around her neck and said, “You must be embarrassed that you lost something like this to me.” She straightened up and looked at Sydney. “You got yourself another rich man yet you can’t afford to bid one million dollars. Why? Did your new man find out that you are worthless?” Sydney ignored Ashley and looked at her reflection in the mirror, adjusting her curly chestnut brown hair to the side of her face. “Let me give you a little advice just for old times. You aren't married to Julian anymore. No man will spend so much on you as he did. Keep that in mind before
