While they were walking out of the event hall, Aleric asked. “It seems your husband has no idea you are from the Steinfeld family.”

“Yes,” Sydney replied.

“Can I ask why?”

“I just…” she sighed. “Back then when I met him, he was financially unstable. I didn’t want him to feel insecure around me so I hid my identity from him.”

“Wow,” Aleric said, looking impressed. “You seem to care about him a lot.”

“It is all in the past.”

Aleric borrowed his eyes, studying Sydney. “Is it?”

“What do you mean?”

They stepped outside and walked towards the parking lot.

Aleric shrugged. “I mean, if it is all in the past then why are you still hiding your identity from him? Why are you allowing his mistress to treat you like that? I’m just trying to understand why you are being so calm about it.”

“I have my reasons.”

Aleric smirked. “It seems you like being mysterious. You do know that will prevent people from understanding you, right?”

Sydney stopped walking and met Aleric’s gaze. “I don't car

  • The CEO’s Savage Ex-Wife   52 - The Noodle Shop.

    Heartbroken, Jade had packed most of her belongings and moved back to the countryside to stay with her parents. It wasn’t like she couldn't afford to lounge at a hotel in the city until the issue with Arthur died down, but staying in the city meant she was prone to run into Arthur occasionally and she didn't want that. Not after he had threatened to end their marriage. Also, she feared that if she remained in the house with him, she might one day be welcomed with a divorce letter lying on their dining table as her breakfast. She didn't want that to happen so like a coward, she left and went back to the only place she could think of going to. Her mother had been so surprised to see Jade return so soon, but she didn’t ask any questions even when Jade collapsed in tears in her arms. She had just stood there, comforting her in silence. It took two days before Jade opened up about her near divorce with Arthur. She expected her mother to give her a disappointed look. In fact, she had thou

    51: I Am Done.The car was parked at the hospital parking lot. Jade got out of the car and bent to carry her little daughter in her arms before walking into the hospital. Julian uttered a sign of relief when he saw her. “Were you able to get the money?”Jade nodded and gave her daughter to him. “Watch over her, I will make the payment now.”Julian took Iris from Jade with a frown. “Why did you bring her?”Looking at her daughter, she sighed. “It is a long story.”Julian saw the annoyance in Jade’s eyes and came close to her. “Did something happen when you left?”Jade refused to look at him. “I need to go and make the payment.”She left the waiting room and went to the desk to make her payment. Now that the payment had been made, the operation on her mother began shortly after. Hours went by while waiting for the operation to be done. On her mother’s lap, Iris’s head kept lolling to the side.“You need to take her back home. This place isn’t conducive for her,” Jade’s father complaine

  • The CEO’s Savage Ex-Wife   50 - Did You Ever Believed Me?

    A footstep echoed on the stairs before a voice was heard.“What is going on here?”Jade looked up and saw Sydney standing at the top of the porch, looking down at her.Jade walked away from Stella and went to meet Sydney.“Can we go somewhere more private?” She asked. “I am here to talk to you about something."Her mother was about to object when Sydney said, “Okay, follow me.” She walked towards a terrace by a foundation and looked back at Jade. “Why are you here?”Jade was about to tell Sydney what had happened to her mother and how she needed fifteen million dollars for her treatment, but no matter how much she tried, the words stayed stuck in her mouth. She tightened her hands around her bag. “I need the money you owe my brother.”Sydney furrowed her brow. “What money?”She didn’t understand why Jade thought she owed Julian any money. Was she referring to the money he had given her while they were married?A side of Sydney’s lips curved into a bitter smile. If Julian made his sis

  • The CEO’s Savage Ex-Wife   49 - I Don’t Want Sydney To See You

    Not in the mood to tolerate Quinn’s presence, Jade had left the restaurant very early. When she got back home, Arthur was already back. He sat with their daughter, watching an animated movie with her. The moment she walked into the living room, he noticed her presence and looked away from the television. He frowned when he saw him and said, “You came back so early. I thought you said you would spend a long time with your friends.” Hearing her husband call Quinn and Hailey her friends made her scoff. At the moment, they felt more like her headaches than her friends. “I already told you that it depends on my mood.” “Dad! Dad! Look, they are going for the bad wolf!” Iris called out to Arthur, her eyes completely fixed on the television. Arthur looked away from his wife and focused back on the movie they were watching. As Jade started walking up the stairs, he turned and looked at her. “Do you want to join us? The movie is interesting and we have a lot of popcorn.” Jade shook

  • The CEO’s Savage Ex-Wife   48 - As Beautiful As You Are.

    Because she stopped at Arthur’s office before leaving for the hangout with her friends, she arrived at the restaurant late and met Hailey and Quinn already seated at their reserved table. Jade forced a smile on her face as she joined them at the table. “Hi, girlies!”Hailey smiled when she saw Jade. She placed her hand on the edge of the table and leaned forward, studying Jade. “What happened? You came late.” She nodded at Quinn who sat across her, and looked back at Jade. “Even Quinn, the latecomer among us, got here before you.”“I got busy with something, but never mind, I am here now.”Hailey wiggled her brow at Jade when she heard what she said and smirked. “You got busy with something?” She arched her brow and added with a mischievous smile. “Something like what?”Jade understood what Hailey was hinting at so she played along and smiled. “It is whatever you are thinking it is.”Hailey covered her mouth and shook her head. “You all are enjoying your marriage. It makes me miss my

  • The CEO’s Savage Ex-Wife   47 - Your Mother Is Stubborn.

    After Jade ended the call, her mother dropped the phone from her ear and sighed. It seemed her daughter was too deep in her fear that she was failing to see the clearer picture. She wasn’t implying that her son-in-law was innocent or guilty of cheating on Jade. She just didn't want Jade to make a big mistake like Julian that she might later regret. She was certain that the divorce that had happened between Julian and Sydney wouldn't have happened if Julian had communicated better with his ex-wife; that was the reason she wanted Jade to talk things out with her husband before reaching any major conclusion. Her husband stepped out of the kitchen and saw his wife standing in the hallway of the restaurant, staring at the phone in her hand with a solemn face.He walked up and asked, looking at the phone with curiosity. “Why do you look so serious? What is wrong?”She sighed and kept her phone in the blue apron around her waist. “It is Jade. She is having some issues with her marriage."“W
