Lahat ng Kabanata ng Waking Up As the Villain's Mother: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Chapter 41.When Ajax came home that evening, he went about his usual routine of going upstairs and changing into comfortable clothing. I hastily followed after him.But, I hadn't expected he would change with his bedroom door open. The moment I stepped into view, I was met with the unexpected sight of his bare torso—abs and pecs, clearly defined and on full display. I stood there, momentarily stunned. Who knew Ajax looked like that under all those button-ups?I appreciably sighed. Ajax had a very good figure.He looked conspicuously thin when he was dressed, but it was a different story when he was undressed.My body was

Chapter 43."Dad, why don't you and Mom sleep together?"Ajax, who had been calmly flipping through a business report in his study, paused mid-page. His pen stopped moving. He looked up at his son, who stood with arms crossed and a deeply serious expression—too serious for someone wearing a T-shirt with a cartoon dinosaur and mismatched socks.Caught off guard, Ajax's mind scrambled. He remembered the explanation Gwyneth had used once. So, he parroted it back with confidence."Because your mom sleeps late and wakes up late. I don’t want to disturb her."Dylan narrowed his eyes and immediately called him out. “I’m not one of those little kids you can trick.”Ajax’s composure cracked slightly. “I didn’t say you were.”“You said before that a person has to be honest,” Dylan said matter-of-factly. “Don’t lie to me just because I’m a kid. That’s being dishonest.”Ajax was rendered speechless.Gwyneth hadn’t given him any warning about this conversation. Not even a cryptic message to prepar

Chapter 45.Apparently, I didn’t just inherit a plastic husband. The original owner had plenty of plastic friends too.It had only been a month or two since I arrived in this world, and I’d barely caught my breath. But even in that short time, there was no shortage of people inviting me to go shopping, eat overpriced desserts, and try out every kind of hedonistic pleasure imaginable. One woman even tried to introduce me to a “handsome and obedient boytoy” like it was some kind of sales pitch.For the past months I just keep ignoring them. And based on the original Gwyneth’s personality it wasn’t that unusual. She cuts-off people whenever she wants.But if you ask me, she was indeed a mystery. Her character and attitude makes you curious. She is a selfish woman, yet she still did help her family. She was cold to Dylan but never physically harmed him. And even after marrying Ajax, means that she would have a lot of power and influence in the company, but she didn’t bother to suppress th

Chapter 47.The hallway was softly lit by a few wall lights. Ajax stood there in his usual house clothes—plain, nothing eye-catching—but still managed to look like he stepped out of a magazine. He stood so straight, hands tucked into his pockets, tall and broad-shouldered without being beanpole-thin. Masculine. Effortlessly masculine. And when he wore a suit? He was practically walking pheromones. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately, his looks just happened to fall squarely into the category of my type.Right now, he had on gold-rimmed glasses too, adding an extra layer of elegance to his usual aura. My brain suddenly spat out a phrase: a wolf in sheep’s clothing.Not in a bad way but a more dangerous way. If he could look this hot in plain clothes what more if he really dressed nicely?Can’t you imagine?“Why are you still awake?” he asked me, and I couldn’t help but notice how the fatigue etched into his face made him look more... human.“I couldn’t fall asleep,” I replied. Then, w

Chapter 49.Raul hadn’t expected Ajax to respond with sarcasm. In his mind, everything he had done had been reasonable—honorable, even. But now that Ajax had refused to see him again, there was no longer any point in lingering. Straightening his clothes under the curious gazes of Montclair Corporation’s employees, Raul walked toward the elevator with steady steps and lifted chin, preserving the last shred of dignity he had left.Back in the office area, Assistant Jean was still confused about what had transpired. While Ajax was known to be a man of few words, he had always been courteous, professional, and even-tempered. For him to react this strongly, Assistant Jean naturally assumed the fault lay with Mr. Lumahan. And as a competent assistant, it was his duty to shield the CEO from unnecessary distractions.He promptly made his way to the front desk and instructed the receptionist, “If that visitor comes again, tell him CEO Montclair isn’t available. Don’t let him in.”The reception
