The CEO's Forgotten Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

I tapped my foot on the hardwood floor and bit my lips in anxiety as I waited for my name to be called. I’ve been here multiple times, but I never seem to have the strength to push through with my decision. This time around, though, I promised myself that I’d finally be able to file our divorce papers. My heart may not like the idea of divorcing Clyden, but my mind tells me that this will be the best decision for the both of us. I’m also pretty sure the Clyden would love the idea of us finally separating. I am the only one who’s still holding onto our broken relationship, after all.    “Mrs. Gonzalo. The attorney is ready to see you now.”   I stood up and wiped my sweaty hands on my jeans. I probably should have worn something more formal, but this was a last-minute decision.   

Maia I felt a surge of happiness when I thought about the first time that I met Clyden. Thinking of this, I slapped myself awake and waited for Clyden’s return. Finally, at 1 AM in the morning, Clyden finally came back. He was wearing a black suit, but he had already removed his blazer and placed it on his shoulder. His sleeves were also folded up, and the first three buttons of his dress shirt were unbuttoned. Overall, he looked disheveled and tired but still as handsome as ever.  “You’re back!” I excitedly said and ran to where he was. I had already forgotten about how long I had waited for him, and I was surrounded with happiness. Clyden, however, remained silent and just looked at th

ClydenI woke up at exactly 5:00 in the morning. I always have to wake up early since I still have to cook for my younger siblings and cousins. My family was currently living in our ancestral home because we couldn’t afford to move out and pay for rent every month. Although the house is a little bit cramped, I am thankful that grandma and grandpa still accepted us into their home. They may be a little bit bossy at times, but I think it's only normal since we’re intruding in their home.I cooked for exactly 12 people, and it was about 6:30 AM when I was done. My relatives were now going down the stairs and sitting down in their respective seats. There were only ten seats at the dining room table, so my elder sister and I would stand up to eat.I went upstairs, taking two steps at a time, to come to fetch my mom for breakfast. I gently knocked on her door and waited for her to respond.“Come in,” she said, so I opened the door and ma

ClydenI cycled faster to school since I woke up a little bit late. My boss scolded me yesterday for being twenty minutes late and let me work one hour more for my tardiness. I breathed out a sigh of relief when I arrived at school on time and parked my bike on the bike stand. I was chaining it to the posts when somebody called my name.“Clyden,” Marco called out. I turned to him and saw him running towards me. However, I saw something strange just as I glanced over to him. Maia, the girl who confessed to me yesterday, hid between her friend’s knees and looked down on the ground. Her friend tried to push her away, but she kept her place.Is she— Is she hiding from me? I smirked. She doesn’t think that I don’t genuinely see her, right?“What are you smiling at?” Marco asked. He tried to peer over to Maia’s direction, but I pulled him to the building.“Nothing, let’s get to class

MaiaPresent timeMy mother sobbed as she unfolded the events that happened five years ago. I stayed silent all throughout her story, but I could feel my eyes welling up in tears. What is this that I’m feeling? Betrayal? Or maybe some kind of relief?I feel betrayed by my parents since I genuinely thought that Clyden married me for who I am. I felt like everything that I knew was all lies. Even the most important people in my life were able to betray me. How many more people lied in front of my face?I looked down on the ground in disappointment. Looking back at it now, he never really showed that he loves me. In all of our anniversaries and milestones, I’m always the one giving gifts. In every Gonzalo family gathering, he’d want me to stay in the background so I wouldn’t embarrass him in front of his family.My mom sat up and held my hand. I could see that she was having a hard time reaching out to me, so I went closer to h
