The lobby fell into complete silence. No one dared to speak.

The director’s face stiffened, his earlier confidence disappearing the moment Mr Rowland spoke.

“S-sir, this is just a small misunderstanding,” the director said quickly, forcing a smile.

“A misunderstanding that a patient admitted to your hospital is looking like this after years?” Kelsey spoke immediately after him.

Her chest rose and fell as the anger in her burned even more because of his words.

The director’s face tightened. “Yo

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 9: Ramon's Warning 

    Meanwhile, Ramon sat in the CEO chair, his back slightly leaned against it, his gaze fixed on the wide glass window in front of him.Outside, the sky stretched endlessly, calm and distant—just like him. His fingers rested lightly on the arm of the chair, as if nothing in the world could disturb him.He was the CEO of Holloway Holdings. A name that carried power. A name that had stood for generations.Holloway Holdings had spread across different industries over the years, building influence that reached far beyond one field. But among all its achievements, one stood above the rest…House of Holloway.The luxury brand that ruled the fashion world—the very one he created himself.A soft knock came from the door, but it didn’t wait long before it opened.Ramon slowly turned his chair toward the person.“Ram… Mr. Holloway,” Wanda said, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, a gentle smile on her lips as she stepped forward with confidence.Ramon’s face remained unreadable.“I felt you might

Her chest rose and fell as the anger in her burned even more because of his words.The director’s face tightened. “You—”But he didn’t complete his sentence. He was afraid of Mr Rowland.“He looks abandoned. Is this how this hospital operates?” Mr Rowland’s voice was calm but still cold as he questioned.The director panicked. “No… no… we will look into it,” he said quickly, then turned to the hospital administrator.The administrator stepped forward immediately with a tablet and whispered to the director while showing him something on the screen.Kelsey’s brows creased as she stared at them, trying to underst

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 7: The Real Kelsey 

    The same day, Kelsey left the house for the hospital, not to have her wound checked but to see her father.Her father, Tony Morgan, suffered a stroke barely a year after her marriage to Ramon. Kelsey had only visited once back then. She didn’t know his current condition, but she was certain that he hadn’t recovered, and he wasn’t dead either. The Holloways would have told her if he was.“I’m here to visit my father, Tony Morgan,” she said to the receptionist, and she was directed to his room.As she walked through the corridor that led to the room, her eyes narrowed as the place looked abandoned, but she didn’t think much of it.Her heart started to pound loudly in nervousness at seeing her father after four years as she stood in front of his door. But when she opened the door—The smell in the room nearly made her pass out.She froze for a moment.Her eyes widened like they might pop out.“Dad…”She called and hurried to him, dropping to her knees.Tony sat in a wheelchair, completel

    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. Bang! “Kelsey!” Doris marched in, her face filled with anger, her voice sharp and loud enough to cut through the room. “So you are still lying down after the disgrace you caused last night?” Kelsey froze for a moment before slowly opening her eyes. She remained in bed, too weak to get up. Doris didn’t stop. “Rolling down the stairs in front of everyone! Do you even know how embarrassing that was?” Her eyes were full of disgust. Kelsey said nothing. Her fingers clenched at her sides. “Don’t blame her, Mum. You know she is always clumsy. She didn’t fall on purpose,” Wanda spoke softly, placing her hand on Doris’ arm, trying to calm her down. Then she turned to Kelsey, smili

  • 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 like this. The gown was not overly expensive. Not flashy. But it made her feel human again. Her fingers unconsciously touched the smooth material before she slowly lifted her head. Then she froze. At the end of the corridor stood Ramon. His back faced her while he held his phone against his ear. One hand rested casually inside his pocket as he spoke calmly on the call. Kelsey stopped breathing for a second. Even from behind… he looked handsome, cold, and untouchable. The black suit wrapped perfectly around his tall figure, making his already powerful presence even more intimidating. No matter how many times she saw him… from afar, from beside him, or even secretly staring when he wa

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 4: The Woman Beside Him

    The following morning, the Ivory Mansion was already busy because of Doris’s birthday party later that evening.Servants moved around carrying flower decorations and expensive gift boxes.Kelsey was already in the kitchen, her hands submerged in cold water as she scrubbed the marble counter for the third time that morning. The tiles were already spotless, but Doris Holloway had said they weren’t “presentable enough for a proper household.”So she cleaned again.Behind her, the sound of heels clicked sharply against the floor.“Are you still not done?” Doris’s voice cut through the quiet like a blade.Kelsey stiffened but didn’t turn immediately. She wiped her hands slowly on her apron before facing her mother-in-law.“I’m almost done,” she said softly.Doris looked her up and down with open disdain, her eyes pausing briefly on Kelsey’s slightly trembling hands.“Almost is not done,” she replied coldly. “A useless woman like you should at least be good at keeping a house clean.
