I had just finished buttoning my blouse when the doorbell rang.
I frowned at my reflection in the mirror.
It was too early.
Who would come at this time?
Becky?
But she usually called befor

When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 70. Let's Go Somewhere Safe
Serena's Point of View"Michela."The smile on my lips disappeared instantly.Michela was standing in front of me, wearing an elegant formal dress she must have worn to the office today.But there was nothing elegant about her except the dress.Her makeup was slightly smudged.Her hair was messy.And most of all...Her eyes.They were burning.With something so intense that I instinctively took a step back.For a moment, neither of us said anything.We simply looked at each other.Then she began to laugh.A laugh that sent chills through my entire body."So..."Her voice was strangely calm."We meet again."My fingers tightened around the strap of my handbag."Michela..."I looked around.Normally, there should have been people around at this hour.But today, the place was strangely quiet.Almost empty.Every part of me wanted to simply walk away.But she was between me and the door."I don't think we should talk here.""Oh?"She tilted her head."Then where should we talk?""The hote
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 69. My Child?
Adrian's Point of ViewEven though I was with an important client...For the first time in my life...My mind was not fully focussed.Michela had already left headquarters.Watson had confirmed it.Still, for some reason, my mind wasn't at ease.This uneasiness had started the moment I heard Michela was coming here for the final inquiry.It was the kind of feeling you couldn't explain, but deep in your heart, you knew something wasn't right.I had almost the same feeling many years ago.And that time, what I felt became true, and the day ended in the worst possible way.That's why I wanted to be extra careful.I did everything I could to make sure nothing happened.My phone suddenly vibrated.Normally, I would never check my phone during an important meeting.But today, I couldn't help it.The moment I saw who the message was from, my fingers moved on their own.Sir, my landlord just called. There is a leak in my bathroom that has to be repaired urgently, so I had to leave. I'm alread
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 68. I Thought It Was Over
Michela's Point of ViewI had already checked my phone God knows how many times.Still...Nothing from him.No new messages.No missed calls.I laughed bitterly.The one time I truly needed his support...He wasn't there.Even from a text...Yesterday, I had practically begged Rowen to come with me."It's not like they'll allow me to bring you inside," he had said indifferently."So what's the point of me coming?"Just like that, he had shut me down.So simply.I had traveled here alone last night with a heart that felt unbearably heavy.I had stayed in a cheap hotel room with no one beside me.No one to tell me everything would be alright.I let out a slow sigh and looked at the still-closed door.The inquiry would begin soon.After so many interviews...So many investigations...So many interrogations...I had no idea what would happen today.But I knew there was very little chance the outcome would be in my favor.If...If I lost this job...Everything would be over.My reputation.

Serena's Point of ViewI had just finished buttoning my blouse when the doorbell rang.I frowned at my reflection in the mirror.It was too early.Who would come at this time?Becky?But she usually called before coming over, and deliveries never arrived this early.Curious, I walked to the door.Before opening it, I looked through the peephole.The moment I saw who was standing outside, I froze.Then, the next second, I quickly unlocked the door."...Sir?"
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 66. You still love her, don't you?
Serena's Point of View"They saw everything from the CCTV?"I repeated what I had just heard.For a moment, it was so hard to process it.Did HR really see how Karen and the other girls harassed me?Did Adrian see it too?No...Please don't let him see it.I truly didn't want him to.I didn't want him to worry about me even more than he already did."And Serena, you know what?"Becky leaned even closer, pulling me out of my thoughts."Huh?""They discovered this wasn't the first time.""What?""There was another employee from Karen's team a few months before you joined.""She resigned.""My friend in HR said they suspect Karen had been harassing her too."I slowly lowered my smoothie."Really?"I couldn't even believe it.Karen had actually made someone even leave the company?And no one did anything about that...Until now?"Anyway...""Isn't the investigation moving really fast?" I asked."Big Boss said he wanted everything concluded within a week, didn't he?""So obviously the HR d
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 65. I owe every one of you an apology.
Adrian's Point of View"As the Human Resources Department..."The entire meeting room fell into pin-drop silence.Every member of the HR leadership team looked at me."You all should be ashamed that this many employees have suffered inside this company while you all did nothingThe HR Director lowered her eyes first."We sincerely apologize, sir.""It was our failure."Her voice was filled with obvious guilt."All the complaints we received were isolated incidents.""Some employees even withdrew their complaints before we could proceed.""And why do you think they did so?"The HR Director seemed startled by my question."Sir..." she hesitated."It was because we failed as a company to make them feel safe enough to approach us."No one said anything."At least now we should take action."The HR Director quickly nodded."Yes, sir."I looked at Greyson."How long do you think a full investigation would take?""Based on all the complaints, if we investigate everything thoroughly, it would
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 4. You Lost Me Today
Serena’s Point of ViewI shouldn’t have agreed.That was the first thought that came to my mind as I walked to the café where I was supposed to meet Rowen.Last night, I went back to that place I once called home, only to grab some of my clothes and belongings. I didn’t stay there, even when Rowen
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 3. One Chance. That’s All You Get.
Serena’s Point of View“Serena… can you hear me?”Rowen’s voice was the first thing I heard as the darkness slowly faded and I tried to open my eyes.I shut my eyes again as tightly as possible.I wished I could shut my ears too, so I wouldn’t have to listen to his voice. But I couldn’t move my ha
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
