When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 230. This Time, He Stayed.
Serena’s Point of ViewWhen I opened my eyes the next morning, the first thing I realized was that I was still in Adrian's arms.My face rested against his chest, and I could hear the rhythmic beating of his heart.His arm was wrapped around my waist.For a moment, I simply lay there, listening to his heartbeat.Then a smile appeared on my face.Unlike the first time we made love, he hadn't left before I even woke up.Last time, all I'd had was a note from him to remind me of our night together.But this morning, he was here, holding me.How wonderful was it to wake up like this?After a few moments, I felt his arm move slightly around me.I lifted my head to look at his face.His eyes slowly opened, and a smile lit up his face as soon as his gaze landed on me.“Good morning, angel.”His voice was still a little husky from sleep.“Good morning, baby.”I kissed his cheek.He tightened his arm around me, pulling me closer.I rested my head against his chest again.For a while, we stayed
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 229. All the Time We Lost
Serena’s Point of View“You can explain everything to me later,” I murmured.Adrian gently took my hand away from his lips.For a moment, he simply looked into my eyes.“Angel, are you really sure?”I nodded.“Yes.”He gently brushed his thumb over my lips.It was such a simple touch, but his eyes clearly showed how much longing was behind it.“You don't have to do anything just because you're upset about tonight.”“I know, baby. I'm not doing this because I'm upset.”I placed my hands on his chest.“But baby, tell me something. Do you think we should wait until everything is over?”“What, me?” He pointed a finger at himself.Then he shook his head immediately. “No, angel. I've been waiting for you to be ready. I don't want to wait anymore at all.”I smiled at him.“Then I'm ready now.”The expression in his eyes changed.The restraint and doubt slowly disappeared, replaced by a longing that made my heart race.He lowered his head, and his lips found mine.I slipped my arms around hi
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 228. Tonight, I Choose Us
Serena’s Point of View12:30 a.m.I looked at the clock on the wall for probably the hundredth time.Around eleven, Adrian had sent me a message saying he would be late and asking me to go to sleep.But I'd told him I'd wait.There was no way I could fall asleep before he came home, especially after an unbearable day like today.Then, around 12:20, another message arrived.Adrian: I'm leaving the restaurant now, angel. I'll be home soon.I knew it would take him at least thirty minutes to get here.Yet I'd been watching the clock ever since receiving that message.When I finally heard the sound of the front door opening, I jumped to my feet and almost ran toward it.Adrian closed the door behind him and turned to me.He was still wearing the dark suit he'd worn that morning.His tie was loosened, and the first few buttons of his shirt were undone.He looked exhausted.“Adrian…”He smiled faintly.“Angel.”He walked straight toward me and pulled me into his arms.Tightly.As if he'd us
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 227. The Limits of Pretending
Adrian’s Point of View“You have no idea how hard it is for me to cover for you, Adrian.”Her words left me speechless for a moment.Thinking about it carefully, what she said wasn't entirely wrong.We had an agreement. She didn't like this engagement either, but she was playing along according to our plan. She was doing her best.Though she didn't have to go that far, I could understand that she'd had to do something to cover for me.I could understand the pressure she was under, especially considering how her mother kept pestering her with questions all the time.I took a deep breath.“I'm sorry.”“I wasn't trying to take my frustration out on you. It's just that this whole thing is driving me crazy. And when the only person I believed was on my side didn't support me either, it made me even more frustrated.”Sofia stepped a little closer.“Adrian… I was supporting you. In the most effective way.”“I appreciate what you're doing. But Sofia, I've told you there are limits you can't c
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 226. You Have No Idea
Adrian’s Point of View“I used to think you got angry at everything.”I looked at Noah.He was leaning against the wall, holding a glass of wine, his eyes lazily fixed on the people celebrating across the room.“I thought you had no patience at all,” he continued. “But only now do I understand how much patience you actually have.”I let out a humorless chuckle.“There's so much more you don't know about me, Noah.”“I know.”He straightened up and looked at me.The expression in his eyes changed to something serious.“And I wish you'd tell me those things too. Maybe then I could understand you better.”I studied his face for a moment.“When the time is right.”Noah sighed in frustration.“That's the answer you always give me.”“Because it's the only answer I can give you right now.”He emptied his wine in one go, as though he couldn't bear the frustration anymore. Then, lowering his glass, he looked at me.“Adrian, I seriously don't understand why you're putting up with all this bullsh
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 225. A Toast to a Lie
Adrian’s Point of ViewApplause erupted around us.I leaned toward Sofia, who was standing beside me.“They never asked me about the date.”She looked at me.“They didn't ask me either,” she whispered back.I stared at her face for a fraction of a second.I couldn't understand. If she hadn't known about the date either, how could she remain so calm and look so happy while I was almost losing my mind?Sofia looked away from me as someone beside her congratulated her.She smiled and thanked them.Someone else reached out and shook my hand.I couldn't even force a smile anymore.They should have asked me first.That was all I could think about.“And of course,” Michael added cheerfully, “we intend to make it a grand celebration. We'll invite our closest business associates, friends, and several important guests. As our closest family members, you're all invited, of course.”People cheered. Richard nodded at Michael.“We'll have full media coverage. This is such a special occasion for bo
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 2. You can keep him.
Serena’s Point of ViewAll the lies I had believed so far… all the false hopes I had clung to as if my life depended on them…How had I let myself believe this for so long?It was indeed my husband inside Room 1243, naked, without even a thread of fabric covering him.“Who the hell?!” Rowen’s voice
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 1. Room 1243
Serena’s Point of ViewI sat outside the gynecologist’s office, staring at the clock nervously. It was almost 11:30, but Rowen was still not here.I checked our chat again, but there was no reply; he hadn’t even seen my messages.I called him. It took so long before he finally answered. “Serena?” H

Adrian’s Point of ViewI returned to the office after the meeting at 4Axis.There were documents waiting. There were always documents waiting.I went through one file, trying to read the figures carefully, but I wasn’t focused.My mind kept returning to the restaurant.To her.I hadn’t expected to
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 7. Adrian Henrix
Serena’s Point of View“Sir… I didn’t realize you had arrived.”Marco’s tone shifted instantly into something respectful and polite as he stepped toward the table by the window.The tall man in the dark suit didn’t respond. He simply looked at the customer, his eyes completely emotionless.I turned
