Semua Bab MR. CEO, Your Wife Is Back!: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"Samuel... Nora, she... she disappeared. Nora's not in the bridal chamber."Samuel turned his body slowly. His eyes stared intently at the middle-aged woman standing in the doorway of the dressing room. The woman's face looked pale, her breathing ragged. Mrs. Alice, the mother of the bride-to-be—his mother-in-law."What do you mean, Auntie?" Samuel's voice was hoarse. "Are you kidding? There's no way Nora would run away on the wedding day."Mrs. Alice closed her eyes for a moment. Her hands squeezed her dress. "I'm not joking, Samuel. Nora is not in the bridal suite. Auntie has looked everywhere. She didn't even have her cell phone with her."Samuel fell silent. His throat constricted. This slap was too hard. All the media were standing outside. The big businessmen, the commissioners, the whole family. They had gathered to witness Samuel and Nora's wedding."Why did Nora leave? She's already embarrassed me," Samuel finally spoke up. His jaw hardened. "I can't believe she would do that

"Nora?"Samuel's voice sounded heavy, almost incredulous. He stood frozen in front of the door, looking at the woman who had only existed in his imagination for the past year.Nora smiled faintly. Her face was pale, her lips dry, and her body emaciated, as if it had been through much suffering."I'm back, Samuel," she said softly.Samuel was silent. He didn't know whether to be angry or happy. He raised his hand slowly, as if to make sure that the one standing before him was not a shadow."How come? Where have you been all this time?" His voice was hoarse. "You just disappeared on our wedding day!"Nora stepped inside, her body trembling. "I'm sorry; it wasn't my wish, Samuel. I was kidnapped. Someone kept me captive, far away from the city. I barely even managed to escape..."Samuel looked at her, his eyes wide. "What?!""Yes... I was only able to escape a week ago, and it took me a while to get back here, to you." Nora sobbed, then suddenly hugged Samuel. "I missed you, Samuel..."F

Dawn had just broken in the sky. Orange light slowly seeped through the gap in the curtains, illuminating the quiet corners of the room. Rebecca woke up on a bed that still felt cold. She glanced to the side. There was no one around. Samuel wasn't home.Again. Rebecca sat up, silent for a moment, letting the realization settle in. It felt empty. Her husband, the man she used to wake up with in the morning and go to bed with every night, was now sleeping elsewhere—with Nora, his girlfriend."Never mind, Rebecca. You should just forget about your feelings for Samuel," she said softly.In addition, Rebecca also remembered the threat from Nora. She still didn't realize that her mother was alive. For a dozen years, she had been hidden by Alice. Who knows where? In the past, she thought her mother had died in a car accident, but she was still alive.And if Rebecca tried to convince Samuel that she was innocent, then her mother's life would be at stake.Then, her stomach suddenly felt strang

"Nothing serious, just a slight injury to the ankle," the doctor said as he lowered the x-ray results from the screen. Nora immediately pursed her lips, looking disappointed. "But it hurts, Doc. Is it really nothing serious?" The doctor smiled politely. "The pain could be due to swelling, but there is no fracture. It just needs to be compressed and avoid standing too long." Samuel who was standing next to him just nodded briefly. "Thanks, Doc." After the doctor left the room, Samuel helped Nora up. He offered his hand, leading her out of the examination room. They were only a few meters away from the door when Samuel's phone vibrated. He looked at the name on the screen, answering immediately. "Bani?" Samuel's voice was low but clear. "Yes, sir. I just got information from a terminal officer. Mrs. Rebecca was seen at a bus stop nearby this morning. She took a taxi, apparently heading towards the city center." Samuel stopped walking. His eyes stared intently at the fl

The nurse had just typed a message on her cell phone screen. Her thumb was about to press the -send- button, when suddenly the sound of rapid steps pounded the floor of the hospital corridor."No need to send it," whispered a sharp voice behind her.The nurse reflexively turned her head. Her eyes widened at the sight of the figure standing there-Nora, with a cold face and piercing gaze."I'm just-" Nora snatched the cell phone out of her hand. She read the text message that hadn't been sent, then quickly deleted it. "Listen carefully," Nora said as she took out an ATM card from her small wallet. She held it out to him. "There's two million inside. Take it. But don't ever send that message to Samuel."The nurse looked doubtful, swallowing hard. "But... Mr. Samuel paid me to find Mrs. Rebecca.""And now I'm paying you to keep your mouth shut," Nora cut in quickly, her tone leaving no room for debate.The woman disguised as a nun was instantly recognized. She looked down for a moment,
