Dimitri remained seated behind his desk, staring at Gwen. The proposal in his hands had become completely meaningless.

His mind kept going back to the same question.

How could she be alive?

He had seen her after the accident. He had seen the blood. He had heard that she died. He had spent years believing it. Ramon and he had become enemies because of that.

Yet she was sitting right in front of him.

Alive.

And she was talking about business like nothing had happened.

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 143: A Dinner For Two

    The evening arrived faster than Kelsey expected. By the time she finished getting ready, the sun had already begun to disappear from the sky.Kelsey stood in front of the mirror for a moment, looking at herself.The beautiful gown and shoes she had found in the box kept on the table were clearly chosen for her. She didn't need to ask who had left them there. She knew Ramon must have kept them there. It wasn't the first time he had done something like that, but she hadn't expected him to go that far just for a dinner.After making a few final adjustments to her hair, Kelsey left her room and headed downstairs.As she reached the living room, she noticed Ramon standing near the sofa.He was speaking quietly to Kendrick. The little boy had his arms folded across his chest, his face carrying a clear look of displeasure.Kelsey slowed down.She couldn't hear what they were saying from where she stood, but it was obvious Kendrick wasn't happy about whatever his father was telling him.Then

    Dimitri remained seated behind his desk, staring at Gwen.

He had heard that she died. He had spent years believing it. Ramon and he had become enemies because of that.Yet she was sitting right in front of him.Alive.And she was talking about business like nothing had happened.Dimitri slowly placed the documents on the desk. He opened his mouth to speak, but the only word that came out was..."How?"Gwen let out a sigh. She understood him, but she didn't rush to answer. She simply looked at him for a moment before letting out a soft breath."I know this is difficult to understand."Dimitri shook his head slightly,"I just don't understand how you could be alive all these years and nobody knew.""Nobody knew because I didn't want anyone to know."Dimitri's brows drew together,"Why?"Gwen smiled, "

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 141: The Woman He Thought Was Dead

    Meanwhile... Dimitri sat behind his desk, going through some documents when his phone caught his attention. He picked it up and saw the message from Kelsey. "Are you back?" A small smile appeared on his face. He hadn't expected her to reply so quickly. Instead of replying, he called her. The call connected after a few seconds. "Hello?" Kelsey said from the other end of the phone. "Are you back?" "Why?" Dimitri asked with a smile. "Were you hoping I'd still be away?" "Wouldn't that be better?" Kelsey simply responded. Dimitri leaned back in his chair. "So, you didn't miss me at all?" Kelsey chuckled. "You've only been gone for a few days." "Exactly. A few days is enough time to miss someone." "Well, I can't say I did," Kelsey said thoughtfully. Dimitri placed a hand over his chest dramatically. "I'm hurt." "You and Ruby would surely get along," Kelsey said, shaking her head even though he couldn't see her. "You're always dramatic." "Ruby?" Dimitri repeated,

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 140: A New Beginning

    Four days later... Kelsey stood in front of the large window of her bedroom, staring quietly at the garden below. The morning sun poured through the glass, lighting up the room. She had returned to her normal routine. Or at least, she was trying to. The small cut on her forehead was barely noticeable anymore, but the things she had learned that night were still impossible to forget. Her mother was a Bianchi. She had a grandfather she never knew existed. A lot had happened during those four days. Savannah was still in police custody, waiting for the investigation into everything she had done. As for Laura... Kelsey had decided to pardon her after Laura and her mother had almost cried their eyes out while begging for her forgiveness. But Kelsey didn't let them go without conditions. Laura and her mother were made to sign an agreement stating that they were never to step foot into the city again. If either of them returned, Kelsey would have them arrested immediate

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 139: Her Own Choice

    The warehouse remained silent after Kelsey's words.Mr. Bianchi stared at her with his brows raised, his gun still pointed at Savannah."Do you understand what you're saying?""Yes." Kelsey stepped forward, her eyes fixed on him before shifting to Savannah, who was still clutching her bleeding shoulder. "I know what she has done. I know she wanted me dead. But I won't kill her. She will face the consequences of what she has done."Mr. Bianchi shook his head. "She will come after you again.""Then I'll deal with it if she tries again," Kelsey replied.Mr. Bianchi chuckled."You're being too soft." His voice carried a hint of amusement. "In our family, weakness can get you killed.""I'm not part of that family," Kelsey countered. "In my life, I decide what kind of person I want to be."Mr. Bianchi's expression turned cold. "You are making a mistake. Sending her to the police won't stop her.""I'll worry about that myself," Kelsey said, looking straight into his eyes.The old man stared

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 138: The Bianchi Code

    Back in the warehouse...The sound of slow footsteps echoed through the warehouse.Everyone turned toward the entrance.An old man walked in slowly, supported by a black cane in one hand. His steps were not rushed, but every movement carried a heavy authority that made the entire warehouse fall silent.Behind him were several men dressed in black.Ramon immediately pulled Kelsey behind him, shielding her with his body.His men quickly raised their guns and pointed them at the intruders.Savannah's face had already turned pale."Dad..."The word escaped her lips unconsciously.For the first time since she appeared in the warehouse, real fear flashed across her eyes.Kelsey's eyes widened when she heard Savannah call the man dad.Even Ramon paused.Mr. Bianchi didn't answer Savannah. His eyes only moved past her and landed on Kelsey.For a moment, his cold expression softened."Without doubt..." he said quietly, but the relief in his tone was obvious. "You are my blood."Kelsey looked a

    Kelsey stepped out of her room after changing into the dress. The soft fabric brushed gently against her skin as she carefully held the side of the gown, afraid she might accidentally step on it. For a moment, she stood quietly outside her door. It had been a very long time since she dressed up

    Kelsey fell hard to the floor, her palm scraping painfully against the marble tiles.Her cheek burned badly from the two slaps Doris had given her, and before she could even recover, another harsh voice rang through the living room.“How dare you come back here after what you did to Kendrick?!”Kel

    Kelsey had almost reached their table when Ramon came rushing back into the shop like a storm.He brushed past her without even looking at her and immediately knelt in front of Kendrick.“Kendrick, look at me,” Ramon said worriedly while checking his condition.The little boy was still struggling t
