Sydney sat in the back seat of the car, looking at a building. She removed her glasses and folded them before turning to the investigator, who was sitting in the front seat. “Are you sure this is where she lives?”

“Yes, I’m very sure of that.”

Sydney nodded and got down from the car. She walked up to the house and knocked on the door. She heard someone walking towards the door before it was opened. The woman who had opened the door looked surprised to see Sydney.

The neighborhood was lined up with cracked curbsides and houses covered in molds, showing years of neglect. Judging by her expensive outfit and pleasant cologne, it was obvious Sydney wasn't from the neighborhood.

The woman smiled stiffly at Sydney. “Can I help you?”

“I’m here to talk to you about something important,” Sydney said. “Can I come in?”

The woman looked around her living room before nodding reluctantly. “Sure, I’m sorry to keep you standing.”

She opened the door broadly. Sydney and the investigator walked into t

  • The CEO’s Savage Ex-Wife   29 - A Nobody Who Looks Like A God

    Jade dropped the phone from her ear and groaned. She was angry at everything! And the person she was most angry at was Sydney! She wouldn't have been stuck in that position if Sydney had acted pettily by freezing Julian’s account. But no, that bitch had to prove she had power and went ahead to put an obstacle in their way!Gosh, she was frustrated. She gripped the phone, not able to control her anger. The thought of even leaving the restroom to join her friends in the waiting room unsettled her. She shouldn't have come for the spa date in the first place. At least it would have saved her from all the embarrassment she had incurred. She sighed and looked at herself in the mirror. A wrinkle was visible under her eyelids, she brought out her skincare product and smeared some of it along her eyelids. She couldn't afford to look like her problem. Never. She was adjusting the collar of her jacket when one of the doors of the stalls opened and Quinn walked out. Jade froze. Had Quin been

  • The CEO’s Savage Ex-Wife   28 - Get Out Of My Office

    Julian had just arrived at the office. When he sat down, he got busy with work, checking all the sales records and the allocated finances for upcoming projects. Sydney had promised to give him back his position as the CEO if he was able to increase the company’s sales. He was going to endure the sale skyrocketing just to show her how serious he was in winning her back. While reading one of the piles of documents on his desk, his phone started ringing. He looked at the phone vibrating on the desk and thought about ignoring it. He had been receiving a lot of calls lately after the news of his demotion spread throughout the whole country. At that moment, he didn't want to talk about anything to anyone. The phone stopped ringing and he continued reading the documents in his hand. Just when he thought he finally had a moment of silence, the phone rang again causing him to become unconscious of who was calling him relentlessly. He leaned close to his desk and checked the caller. When he s

  • The CEO’s Savage Ex-Wife   27 - You Can’t Afford It, Can You?

    The next morning, Jade went back to her bedroom to prepare for the day. Arthur had left for work so she didn't meet him in the bedroom. She had her bath and sauntered to her walk-in closet to check for the outfit she was going to wear. After browsing through the closet, she settled for a soft woolen brown skirt and jacket. She looked at the section where a variety of fancy bags were arranged and wondered which bag to pair with her outfit. She groaned as she thought, she wouldn’t be in this position if she had purchased that beige Birkin bag. With a heavy sigh, she picked a nice black clutch and went back to her bedroom. She got dressed and walked out of the bedroom. She went to the dining room and met her daughter seated at the table, eating her breakfast. She joined her in the dining room and waited for the chef to serve her meal. After she was done eating, she kissed her daughter on the cheek and bid her goodbye.Then, her nanny entered the dining room to take her daughter to schoo

  • The CEO’s Savage Ex-Wife   26 - The Birkin Bag

    26: The Birkin Bag.Jade dropped the phone from her ear and stared at it absent-mindedly. She had thought Julian was going to send the money for the Birkin bag that night. Who would have thought that his account got frozen by his ex-wife?Jade leaned back on the headrest of her bed and scoffed. She had always seen Sydney as a nobody who was only leeching on her brother’s money, but the bitch had had something up her sleeve all the while. Now that her brother no longer wants her, she has decided to get revenge.Jade shook her head and laughed at how Sydney was behaving.Was she a child?Why is it so hard for her to accept that Julian no longer wants her?She needed to pick up her broken pieces and leave her brother alone!Why must she go as far as freezing his account?!Jade gripped her hair. She felt like she was losing her mind, if Julian stopped sending money to her, she didn’t know how she would cope.While she was still deep in thought on how to find the money for the Birkin bag,

    Just as Sydney had said, Julian was appointed to the finance department. That morning he had gone to the company very early to pack his stuff from his previous office to his new office. After the news spread through the office that Julian had been denounced by his ex-wife who was also the Steinfeld heiress, many employees started avoiding him like he was a plague. Nobody wanted to be the next target of his vicious ex-wife. After putting everything he owned in a box, he walked toward the desk, looking at a desk plate which had the bold letters ‘CEO Julian' written on it. He picked up the name tag and turned it in his hand. He had taken a huge pride in owning that tag, but now it was nothing but a reminder of what he had lost. He gripped it in his hand and walked back to the box. He took one last look at the tag and dropped it into the box. Then, he picked the box up and made his way out of the office. Two women walking in his direction in the hallway quickly turned and went to the o

  • The CEO’s Savage Ex-Wife   24 - Poor Pretty Thing.

    Sydney had just finished a meeting with the executives. She walked back to her office on the top floor of the company building, with secretary Ava following behind her. While they were alone in the lift, Sydney asked. “How is the woman’s daughter doing?”“She is adapting quite well.”Sydney had kept to her promise about sending the daughter of the woman who had poisoned her to an orphanage. “Good,” she said.The lift opened and she walked out. She got to her office and paused by the door. She frowned when she saw what was sitting pretty at her desk. “What’s that?"Secretary Ava entered the office and observed the object. “It is a bouquet.”“I know,” Sydney said, moving close to her desk. “I’m asking what it is doing here.”“I have no idea how it got there.”Sydney picked up the bouquet and checked the tag attached to it. Her frown deepened when she saw Julian’s name. They had been married for five years and he had stopped giving her flowers in the third year of their marriage. Rece
