Wife on Strike Chapter 206: The Price of a Favor
Kelsey's car stopped in front of Sunlight Company.She turned off the engine, took a deep breath, and stepped out.She had never been inside the company before.This was the first time she was stepping into a business owned by the Bianchi family, and she couldn't help feeling slightly uneasy as she looked up at the imposing building.A few minutes earlier, she had called her grandfather because she wanted to ask for his help.But before she could even explain why she was calling, Nathaniel had told her to come to the company first.So here she was.The moment she entered the lobby, a middle-aged man approached her."Miss ."She recognized him immediately. He was her grandfather's right-hand man. She had seen him a few times whenever she was around Nathaniel."Your grandfather is waiting for you." He turned and started walking.Kelsey followed him.As they moved through the building, she could feel people's eyes following her.Some employees glanced at her curiously before quickly look
Wife on Strike Chapter 205: A New Lead
Ramon managed to hold back his laugh."Laugh at you?" he repeated, shaking his head. "Of course not. I'm here to ask you why you always become a fool when you fall in love."Dimitri stared at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"Ramon relaxed against the chair before answering."Taking the fall always," he said. "First it was Gwen, and now Maureen."Dimitri didn't reply immediately.He walked over to the chair and sat down. He understood what Ramon meant.He used to defend Gwen and take the fall for her back then.But this was different.Maureen had become his wife, and he had promised to protect her. Besides, it was better for him to be locked up here than Maureen.He could defend himself and endure everything in this place, but Maureen couldn't.Without her glasses, she was practically helpless."Forget about Gwen," he said, clearly not interested in that conversation. "Taking the fall for my wife doesn't make me a fool."Ramon raised a brow."But if that makes me a fool, then what
Wife on Strike Chapter 204: A Visit to the Detention Center
They were all seated in the living room of Dimitri's villa.The house was too quiet.Only a few hours ago, they had been at the social event, surrounded by music, laughter, and people dressed in their finest clothes.Now, Dimitri was in police custody for murder.The party had ended for them the moment Maureen returned to the ballroom and told them what had happened.Dimitri's parents, Ramon, Kelsey, and Maureen had rushed to the police station immediately.But despite everything they had said, Dimitri had indeed been detained.There was nothing they could do to get him released immediately.So they had returned to the villa because it was closer to the police station and could give them a place to sit down and figure out what to do next.Maureen sat quietly on the sofa beside Emily.Her hands were clasped tightly together.She hadn't stopped blaming herself since they left the police station."If I could see properly, this wouldn't have happened."Everyone looked at her.Maureen lowe
Wife on Strike Chapter 203: Framed
Maureen finished using the restroom and opened the door.She stepped into the hallway and had barely taken a few steps when someone suddenly came from nowhere and shoved her shoulder hard.Maureen staggered sideways, almost falling to the floor. She quickly steadied herself. But her glasses fell off."Sorry." A voice came from beside her."No..." Maureen muttered in panic.She immediately lowered herself to look for her glasses. Without them, her vision was badly blurred. She moved her hands across the floor, trying to find them.Nothing.She couldn't see them. Then she noticed some movement nearby. The person was still there."Please, could you help me with my glasses..." She started but before she could finish, she was pushed to the side.Something was shoved into her left hand.Maureen barely caught a faint glimpse of the person's face before the footsteps quickly disappeared down the hallway.She froze when she heard a painful groan. It was weak and fading."What's going on?" F
Wife on Strike Chapter 202: The Social Event
Three days later...The car came to a smooth halt in front of the hotel where the social event was being held.Ramon looked through the window at the brightly lit entrance.Several expensive cars were already parked outside, and guests dressed in elegant outfits were walking toward the entrance.The driver stepped out and opened the door.Ramon got out first. He turned around and offered his hand to Kelsey.She placed her hand in his and stepped out of the car.The moment Ramon looked at her, he paused.For a few seconds, he simply stared.Kelsey looked beautiful.She was wearing a simple, elegant black dress that fitted her perfectly. Her hair fell loosely around her shoulders.There was something different about her tonight. Something that made it difficult for Ramon to look away."How long do you plan to keep looking at me like that?" Kelsey asked, straightening her gown.Ramon blinked and smiled. "Because you're beautiful."Kelsey's cheeks immediately warmed. She looked away."Tha
Wife on Strike Chapter 201: The Thirty Days Are Over
After Gwen left, Dimitri returned inside the villa, still angry. But when he entered the living room, Maureen was not there.She had already gone upstairs to her room. They hadn't spoken about what happened outside.He went to his room shortly after and freshened up.Now, he stood at the bottom of the staircase, waiting for Maureen to come down so they could have dinner.He glanced at his phone.Two new messages had arrived.The first one was from his father.‘Bring your wife home. Your mother and I want to meet her.’Dimitri stared at the message for a few seconds.His parents already knew about the marriage, but he hadn't expected them to ask to meet Maureen so soon.Before he could reply, he opened the second message.This one was from his uncle, Reuben.‘ Congratulations on your marriage. I hope to meet your wife when I come to the city. Also, I think I saw that boy with the dirty-blonde hair. I might be mistaken.’Dimitri's expression immediately changed.His brows pulled togethe

Wife on Strike Chapter 1: The “Wife” Who Isn’t One
It took Kelsey only one day after regaining her memories to realize that what she had lived in for five years was never a marriage. It was suffering. “I want a divorce.” The words fell calmly from her lips, yet the entire room froze. Ramon Holloway looked up slowly, his sharp eyes landing
Wife on Strike Chapter 6: Awakening
The next morning… Kelsey slowly opened her eyes. A sharp pain shot through her head, making her shut them again immediately. Her brows tightened as she let out a soft groan. Everything felt heavy… her body, her thoughts… even her breathing. She was still lost when the door suddenly opened.
Wife on Strike Chapter 5: The Fall.
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
