TRAPPED AS THE CEO'S ex-wife Chapter 69
Lena's POV Xander finally woke up, stretching lazily like someone who had slept far too comfortably. I turned my face away quickly, pretending to be very interested in the curtains, even though my heart was already awake before the rest of me.We took turns showering, carefully avoiding awkwardness. Or maybe pretending it wasn’t there. By the time we were both dressed and ready to leave, the quiet tension from the morning had softened into something calmer, something almost familiar.The drive to his family house felt longer than it actually was. My palms were sweaty, and I kept adjusting my clothes even though nothing was wrong with them. When we finally arrived, the house was already buzzing with noise and laughter.Before I could even process it, the door opened and people rushed toward us.“Oh my goodness, Lena!” Xander’s mum exclaimed as she pulled me into a tight hug. She smelled like home, like warm spices and flowers. “I’m so glad you came.”I smiled genuinely. “I’m glad to b

Lena's POV When I got home, the silence greeted me first.It felt heavier than usual, like the walls themselves were watching me pack my life into a suitcase without asking questions. I moved slowly, folding clothes, arranging shoes, slipping toiletries into a small pouch. My mind was everywhere and nowhere at the same time.I could have told Lucian about the flight.But I didn’t.Not because I wanted to hide it from him, but because I already knew how it would go. Questions. Worry masked as control. That quiet way he watched everything, measured everything, like he needed to keep tabs on my breathing just to feel secure.And honestly, I didn’t have the energy for that.At least I wouldn’t be idle at Julian’s wedding. At least I’d be busy smiling, pretending, playing a role I once knew too well.After packing, I stood in front of the mirror and studied myself. I wore a white long sleeve body hugging top and jeans, simple and comfortable. My curls fell beautifully around my shoulders,

Lena's POV “Uhmm… yes, I know Mr Valentino. Any problem?” I asked.Belle shook her head almost too quickly, a tight smile stretching across her lips like it was practiced.“No problem at all,” she said lightly. “Just stay still so I can roll your hair nicely.”Her tone was calm, professional, but something had shifted. I could feel it. The air around us felt heavier, charged with words unsaid.I stayed still, my hands resting on my thighs as she worked. The soft hum of the curling device filled the room, rhythmic and almost soothing, yet my mind refused to relax.So it really was her.Lucian’s Belle.Any idiot could put the pieces together now. The hesitation. The sudden stiffness. The careful way she avoided my eyes after mentioning his name. I didn’t need confirmation. My instincts had already screamed it.I studied her reflection in the mirror while she focused on my hair. She was pretty. Not in a loud, intimidating way. It was softer than I imagined. Clear skin. Kind eyes. A calm

Lena's POV When I finally reached Groovy Lit, my steps slowed without my permission.The place hadn’t changed much. Same glass windows, same soft jazz playing in the background, same warm smell of coffee and baked pastries that always made the place feel calm even when your heart wasn’t. I spotted Xander almost immediately. He was seated near the window, his long fingers moving across his phone screen, brows slightly furrowed like he was solving a problem that refused to cooperate.For a moment, I considered turning back.Coming here had felt like a mistake the second I stepped through the door. I hadn’t seen him this close in a long time. Not since my life had split into a before and after.But it was too late. He looked up, and our eyes met.I walked over, my chest tight, and sat across from him.“You called me here,” I said, keeping my tone flat.Xander stared at me for a second, like he was confirming I was real. Then his lips curved into a small, hesitant smile.“Hi, Lena,” he s
TRAPPED AS THE CEO'S ex-wife Chapter 65
Lena's POV I was supposed to still be asleep. My body felt heavy, wrapped in that lazy warmth that usually came after a night like the one Lucian and I shared. It had been intimate, quiet, the kind of closeness that did not need words. At least that was what I told myself when I drifted off beside him.But then I heard his voice.Low. Careful. Tense.I did not open my eyes. I stayed still, my breathing slow and even, pretending sleep while my mind slowly woke up.“You’re telling me Belle is in New York?” Lucian said into the phone.My chest tightened instantly.Belle.The name snapped me fully awake on the inside. Belle, as in the woman whose name had caused that strange flicker in his eyes. Belle, as in the past he said he was not ready to talk about. My heart began to thud, slow at first, then faster.I kept listening.“Okay,” he continued. “But are you sure this information is correct?”There was a pause, long enough for my thoughts to spiral.So she was really here.I heard him s
TRAPPED AS THE CEO'S ex-wife Chapter 64
Lena's POV I was at home, lying on my bed with my head resting against the pillow, staring at the ceiling like it had answers for me.There really wasn’t much else to do.I ate when I remembered. Slept when my body felt heavy. Woke up, checked the time, then rolled back over. The days blurred together in a quiet, uncomfortable way. The kind that makes you overthink everything you’ve ever done.Lucian had suspended me.The word still felt strange in my head, like it didn’t quite belong to me. Suspension. It sounded harsh, final, almost like rejection. I could already imagine the office without me, people whispering, people assuming things, people filling in the gaps with their own versions of the truth.That thought alone made my chest tighten.And just like that, my mind drifted to Alexander.Xander.I hated how easily my thoughts went there whenever things fell apart. It annoyed me that he still occupied a space in my head after everything. After the marriage. After the disappointme
