The Forgotten CEO 69. The Countdown Begins
Slowly, Jacyn pulled back just enough to look up into his face, her thumb lightly brushing the back of his hand. "You hold me like you're trying to shield me from a storm, Liam, but the storm is inside you. What did that message say?"Liam looked down into her clear, trusting eyes. She had sharpened her claws over the last three months, memorized corporate law, and prepared herself to face her uncle Wang Lou in the boardroom. She thought she was fighting a greedy relative for a corporate throne. She didn't know she was walking into a room with a murderer who had partnered with the very syndicate they were trying to uncover.He couldn't tell her. Not yet. If she discovered the horrific truth right now, the raw trauma would break her focus right before the final battle. He needed her to stand proud and unshakeable at that board meeting."It's just a final update from our legal proxies regarding the Lou Group's upcoming annual election," Liam lied smoothly, his voice effortlessly masking
The Forgotten CEO 68. Echoes of the Hunt
Three days after Xueqin Yan’s quiet departure from the country, the Lee Group headquarters was slowly returning to its usual, clockwork rhythm. The glass-and-steel monolith always ran on a strict diet of high-stakes negotiations, frantic typing, and the intimidating hum of corporate authority.Jacyn was back at her desk, stubbornly refusing to take any more sick leave and was currently finding her own way to cope with the lingering stress of her recovered memories. Perched right beside her mechanical keyboard was a small porcelain bowl of purple grapes. Every few minutes, she would toss one high into the air, tilt her head back, and attempt to catch it in her mouth.Thud. Another missed grape rolled across her desk.Jawn pinched the bridge of his nose, letting out a heavy, long-suffering sigh. "Miss Lou," he whispered sharply, keeping his voice low so the other secretaries wouldn't overhear. "You are currently sitting in the nerve center of a multibillion-dollar empire. Eat them norma
The Forgotten CEO 67. The Price of Remembering
The aftermath of the gala was quiet, heavy, and drenched in a dull, lingering pain that seemed to seep directly out of the villa's walls.Liam had carried Jacyn out of the hotel through a private exit, ignoring the flashing cameras of the press. He hadn't spoken a single word during the entire drive back to Lee Villa. His focus had been entirely on her—on the way her small hands wouldn't stop shaking, and how she clung to his jacket as if the fabric were the only thing keeping her anchored to the earth.Once they were upstairs, he didn't leave her side for a single second. He didn't change out of his clothes. He simply discarded his heavy tuxedo jacket, rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, and sat in the armchair beside her bed. For hours, through the dead of night and into the gray dawn, he watched her fitful sleep. Every time she whimpered or flinched from the fading echoes of those phantom gunshots, his grip on her hand would tighten, silently reminding her subconscious that h
The Forgotten CEO 66. The Weight of Whispers
The atmosphere inside the mahogany‑lined walls of Liam’s private study was suffocating. While Jacyn slept soundly upstairs, exhausted from the emotional whiplash of her fragmented memories, Liam stood by the floor‑to‑ceiling window, a burner phone pressed to his ear.For a moment, he didn’t speak. His gaze lingered on the faint glow of her bedroom window above, the fragile peace he had fought to protect. Only when the line clicked alive did his voice drop into its cold, commanding register.“Speak.”On the other end, his head investigator, Uncle Chen, spoke in low, hurried tones. “Young Master, we managed to track down the retired forensic accountant who handled the Lou family’s estate liquidation after the accident eleven years ago. He confirmed what you suspected. The white van that chased her parents car was funded through a shell company registered in the offshore accounts of the Lou Group’s rival at the time—the old Han Syndicate.”A cold, lethal fury bloomed in Liam’s chest. His
The Forgotten CEO 65. Fractured Echoes
The morning coffee at the executive desk was usually a quiet affair, but today, Jacyn was on a mission."Young Master Lee," she said, marching into Liam’s private office without knocking, holding a massive, neon-pink binder. "I have compiled a comprehensive, foolproof strategy for the upcoming cross-border merger. It involves exactly fifty-two color-coded tabs and a very aggressive timeline."Liam looked up from his tablet, his expression unreadable, though the faint twitch at the corner of his lips betrayed him. "Fifty-two tabs, Miss Lou? Isn't that a bit excessive for a preliminary brief?""A true professional is never under-tabbed," Jacyn countered smoothly, leaning over his desk to place the binder down. As she did, her sleeve caught on his heavy fountain pen, knocking it off the mahogany surface.Both of them reached for it at the same time.Their fingers brushed—her warm, nimble hand wrapping over his cool, steady knuckles. A sudden, sharp jolt of electricity snapped through Jac
The Forgotten CEO 64. Pockets of Happiness
The following morning at Lee Group, Jacyn arrived twenty minutes before her shift, her steps brisk and purposeful. She was determined to keep her focus sharp after last night’s unsettling encounter in the lobby. Work was her safe haven, a clean slate where numbers always added up, unlike the confusing, heavy tension between Liam and Xueqin Yan.But the moment she sat down, she noticed a small, elegant package sitting right in the center of her blotter. It was wrapped in heavy ivory paper, tied with a simple silver ribbon.Jacyn frowned, pulling it closer. Inside lay a delicate silver pendant shaped like a star. It looked old, the metal polished but bearing the tiny, faint scuffs of something that had been handled for years. A note accompanied it, written in precise, deliberate strokes:For the brightest star I once knew. — Xueqin YanJacyn stared at the silver star. A strange, fleeting sensation tugged at the back of her mind—a faint echo of laughter and a wide, open field—but it vani
The Forgotten CEO 44. Because you are my fiancèe.
"Remind me again why a CEO like you knows how to cook." Jacyn teased him as they prepared the ingredients together."I was sent to study abroad when I was fifteen. I went from being the young master of the Lee's to a nobody. There's no one around to fend for me. I have to take care of myself." He fro

Jacyn followed him as Liam entered a two story villa. It was the Lee Villa. It's an hour drive from the business district. It was on top of a hill and was surrounded by trees.It was a modern designed house. It has neutral colors in it which make it appear classy and manly. It was so spacious inside.

Jacyn was too shocked. She couldn't understand why she had to live with him. Did she really have to do this? Was she really this desperate that she could trade her freedom and her privacy, just to learn and be personally trained by the legendary William Lee? She shook her head in disbelief. She look

"Kring…kring…"Jacyn's standard ringing tone loudly rang. She was still sleepy as she answered the phone without looking at the caller's ID."He-hello!" She was half asleep. She couldn't sleep the night before. She just turned and turned and turned. It was already dawn when she finally fell asleep. "J
