The meeting ended without ceremony.

Chairs shifted, tablets were gathered, restrained murmurs filled the air as the board members rose and began filing out of the conference room.

Lena remained seated for a brief moment longer, hands folded neatly atop the table, posture immaculate. Only when the room had cleared halfway did she rise, nod once at her father, and turn toward the exit.

She did not look back.

Her heels struck the polished floor in a steady rhythm as she walked down the corridor t

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   32– Your Breached Our Contract

    The first thing Lena did the moment they stepped into her house was rush up the stairs to her son’s room. Just as she had prayed, Junior was asleep. “I have visitors downstairs. So when he wakes, ensure to keep him busy and… quiet,” Lena instructed the boy’s nanny.The woman nodded and only then could Lena relax.She returned downstairs and rejoined her father and Julian.“I want to start by saying that I’m truly sorry,” Lena began as she settled into a couch.Her ass barely touched the cushion when her father spoke. “Why not pour us a drink first. The good vodka.”“I don’t want to drink. And I don’t want anyone drinking at my house today,” she argued.Her father tilted his head. “Really?”“Dad—”“Pour your old man a drink. I deserve that much after the embarrassment I have had to face today because of your recklessness.”Silence stretched.Julian shifted in his seat, uneasy.He knew Lena’s father—Pedro King far more than even Lena. And he understood that despite Pedro’s outward com

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   31– The Mess You Created

    By the time Lena left the studio, the damage had already spread.Her phone would not stop vibrating.Messages stacked on top of each other. Missed calls from board members. From her assistant. From numbers she did not even recognize. Notifications from news platforms. From gossip blogs. From financial analysts suddenly interested in her personal life.CEO of King’s Enterprises Exposed.Secret Marriage to Billionaire businessman Julian Black.Public Meltdown at Magazine Shoot.Lena did not open any of it.She drove home in silence.The city lights blurred past her windshield. Traffic moved normally. People crossed streets. Restaurants glowed warmly behind glass windows. It was strange how the world continued so casually while hers felt like it had been dragged into the open and stripped bare.Her grip tightened on the steering wheel.She had worked too hard for this.It had been years of staying quiet. Years of keeping her head down. Years of building credibility without using her surn

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   30– You’re Bitter!

    It was finally the day of the shoot; well, the trial shoot.But even if it was a trial shoot, it was not treated any less professionally, because it was after all the day the models who’d advance to the main shoot would be selected.Lena arrived at the studio with much more enthusiasm than the actual models and organizers combined.Truth was, she was bored and this was something fun, something to take her mind off her ex husband.The studio was one of the largest sound stages in the city. The high ceilings were crisscrossed with lighting rigs, cables snaking across polished concrete floors, assistants moving quickly with garment racks and clipboards. A long white backdrop had been stretched perfectly across one end of the hall, soft lights angled to create warmth without harsh shadows. Music hummed faintly in the background, just loud enough to keep nerves steady.The trial shoot was important because the actual campaign was no small thing. It was the anniversary issue of the fashion

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   29– You’re Nothing

    It was close to midnight when Julian returned home.The house was dark except for the single light that cast a glow of warm yellow across the polished floor and furniture in the living room. Julian loosened his tie as he walked in. His mind was still far away, still tangled within the time he spent with Lena that afternoon. He replayed the lunch, their walk, their conversation… and the boy.The boy…Julian was confused as to how Leonardo King would have a child and he would not know. It’s none of my business, Julian thought as the front door shut behind him with a soft click. “I was beginning to think you had moved out.”Rose’s voice cut through the silence.Julian slowed to a stop and turned toward the living room.Rose was seated on the couch, legs crossed, a glass of wine in her hand. Her makeup was done. Hair styled. As if she had been waiting to perform.“How surprising to find you at home at this hour,” Julian said with mockery in his tone.“Do not make this about me, Julian.

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   28– Tell Him About His Son

    It was hours after lunch, during the late hours of the evening that Leo parked Lena’s car in front of her manor. He got out of the car and carried Junior out of the back seat, balancing him against his hips and began approaching the front of the manor. The moment they stepped inside, the little boy reached for Lena instinctively.“Mama…” Junior smiled, grabbing tightly onto Lena’s shirt.Lena immediately wrapped her arms around him and pressed her lips to his hair, breathing him in like she had been holding her breath since she left him back at her father’s place after lunch.“How are you my darling?” she cooed.Junior could only babble.Leo watched his sister and her son’s exchange with a gentle and proud smile.“Did he eat already?” Lena asked.“He did earlier,” Leo scratched his head as he walked past them to the living room and settled down. He then added, “put him down for a moment so we can talk.”Lena’s brows furrowed. “You sound serious,” she commented.“So it seems,” Leo sa

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   27– Do You Regret Marrying Me?

    After long hours of tension, lunch finally came to an end and it was time for everyone to take their leave.Lena stepped out of her father’s house first, already pulling her phone from her pocket as if she had somewhere urgent to be. In truth, she just needed distance. Space. Air.“Are you returning to the office?” Leo asked as he stepped out behind her.“I don’t think so. I might just go home and rest a while before coming to pick up Junior,” Lena answered.“I was thinking of coming to yours later today. I’ll just bring him,” Leo suggested.“Oh?” Lena stopped short and turned to Leo with furrowed brows, “did something happen?”“Of course something happened,” Leo said, tipping his head toward the front door of their father’s manor where Julian had just walked out of.That was when it made sense to Lena.She inhaled a long breath and exhaled just the same. “Fine then,” she muttered, handing her car keys to her brother, “bring my car when coming. I wish to take a walk.”“I’ll walk with

    Lunch started normally.While Lena, her father and Julian ate, they engaged in small talk; mostly about business, market trends and overall gossip.Julian took opportunities where he could. His intention was to get to know Lena as best as he could in this short moment.“So, Lena, how long have you

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   25– Gifts From Julian

    For three days straight, Lena walked into the office and found something waiting for her.Day one was flowers. White lilies and deep red roses arranged in a glass vase that probably cost more than some people’s monthly rent. The apology note was small, folded once, tucked between the stems.I’m sor

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   23– I regret leaving Lena for you

    Julian paced the length of his living room, steps sharp against the polished floor, hands braced on his hips before dragging through his hair, then falling back to his sides again.Hours.It had been hours since Lena walked out of his house, and still his chest felt tight, like the air in the entir

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   22– Jack Is Not An Ideal Partner

    “You should maybe take me out on a few more dates, and ask me to be your girlfriend again,” Lena said, her voice quieter, less teasing, more real.The words settled between them.Jack’s heart pounded with heavy thuds. He felt like if he breathed too deeply, his heart would burst. Hope rose across h
