The Silent Wife of The CEO

"Damn!" Zoe cursed as she saw the elevator queue. It was so long, so she reluctantly changed direction and headed for the stairs. Her destination was the sixth floor; her leg would go limp if she ran. But waiting for the elevator would make her late. Zoe had no other choice; her morning had been filled with her boyfriend's curses, demanding her to fetch an item he considered a lucky charm. She won't make any more mistakes. Zoe ran up the stairs with her hand on her stomach. She wanted to be cautious, not to disturb her pregnancy. But she didn't want to ruin Max's appearance—her boyfriend. With stumbling steps, Zoe headed towards the dressing room where Max was waiting. "Here!" Zoe burst in, rushing to open the door, and hastily tossed the pair of socks—a good luck charm owned by Max—into the air. Max didn't have the confidence to sing without those smelly socks—he believed his performance would fail without them. A foolish belief, but Max cared deeply about it. Max knew Zoe would

"You're all so stupid! I've said it over and over again to take care of yourselves! I don't care what you do if you don't cause trouble! Your brains can't even comprehend something as simple as this?!" Billy is furious and exclaimed. "You're the most foolish!" He glared at Max and shouted harshly."Can't you control yourself and stop sleeping with just any woman? You'll ruin your career if you keep getting involved with random women and getting them pregnant!""Who are you calling a random woman?!" Zoe snapped back equally loudly.Zoe might have just destroyed her chances for a career. But Zoe didn't care. Billy had just belittled her."I'm his girlfriend. We've been together for years! I'm not a random woman! Iris is the random one! You saw it for yourself, didn't you?" Zoe shout angrilyIris, the woman Max had met this morning, and by noon they were almost intimate. She's the random woman."But she's Iris White, and you're nobody! She can support Max's career to improve while you'r

TWO YEARS LATER"Zoe, wake up! There's a VVIP guest. You take it!"Zoe stood up from the sofa that served as her bed, looking at the person who had just woken her up with an annoyed expression, but then Zoe smiled. She recognized the person.Tiana, a woman in her forties, was also the owner of the strip club where she currently worked.Zoe reached for the string that was usually used to hang a name tag, but it wasn't a name tag hanging at the end of it. There was a stack of cards with various writings that could be chosen. But Tiana seemed impatient."Yes... yes. I know you'll thank me. But later. He's not a patient person and wants to have fun tonight."Tiana took the greeting card from Zoe's hand and threw it onto the table. Zoe looked at it disappointedly, as she had just found a quicker way to communicate besides writing."Sorry, but not tonight. I'll see it tomorrow. I need to get you ready. Put this on."Tiana wasn't usually rough, but her guest was a VVIP regular. In a hurry, T

Zoe nodded in response to Wolf's question. The writing was not wrong. But the request was considered wrong by Wolf. The man, who had deep green irises, looked at Zoe as if he had just met a crazy woman."Do you want more money? If it's just more money... I'll give it to you. Your body is not bad. But not this." Wolf flicked the paper out of her hand, considering it trash."Mmmm..." Zoe mumbled while waving her hands in panic. Afraid that Wolf would leave.But that mumbling made Wolf, who was just about to put on his shirt, stop and look at her with a questioning face. He could see that Zoe was having trouble speaking."Are you mute?" Wolf used sign language. But Zoe didn't understand the sign language.She wrote the answer again on the paper, then held it out.[I'm not deaf, but I can't speak. Nerve problem in the brain. It's long. I don't want to explain it. But I still want to marry you.]An answer that made Wolf snort. Because it was hilarious."So your brain is impaired. No wonder

"Are you sure you're going to do this? How... One moment."Although she had read Zoe's note, Tiana still seemed to find it hard to accept. She checked it once more while Zoe was organizing her things.There wasn't much, just her make-up kit and some boots she bought herself. Other than that, her costumes mostly belonged to Tiana. Today, Zoe would be moving into Wolf's house."He's not the kind of person you can have as a husband, Zoe. You know that, don't you?" Tiana took Zoe's hand, asking her to consider.Zoe reached for the card hanging around her neck and showed the word 'I know.' Many common words hung there, including 'thank you,' 'no,' and 'okay'. Short words that she didn't need to write anymore."Then why... Don't tell me you still haven't forgotten..."Zoe patted Tiana's hand, then typed a sentence on the cell phone hanging around her neck.[They killed my son, made me unable to speak! I won't forget!]Zoe pointed at her writing several times to show her anger. Tiana sighed.
