All Chapters of Divorce Denied! The CEO Wants Me Now: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Karen woke up the next morning, exhausted from a series of messages from a strange number. ‘Mavis, it’s Wade from last night. Are you alright? Who’s that guy? A sugar daddy?’Karen had a headache and before she could think of a response, another message dropped. ‘Can we meet up? I really want to see you.’‘Sure, but not today. I’m too busy,’ she replied drowsily, making a mental note to ask Van later for permission.‘Send your location. I’ll come visit,’ another message dropped, but Karen was being polite out of gratitude. He had saved her and was nice to her.‘I barely know you. Perhaps another time.’“Chatting with him?” Van’s voice rang, jolting her, and the phone dropped. This was the first time he entered her bedroom without knocking, and he looked upset.“He saved me,” she retorted in defense, and for some reason, Van didn’t want to dig deeper.He already got everything he needed about Wade, and it was better to keep him as far away from Karen as possible.“It’s time for your ne

Hands jammed together once again, followed by standing ovations, but this time, it wasn’t out of excitement but rather shock.“Can we have a word from the world’s mysterious CEO?” the reporter asked. Roger forced a smile. It was his turn to speak, and he did so rather lazily.“Thank you, Dad, and everyone present here today. I’m extremely grateful to my family and close relations for helping to make this possible. I hope that going forward, we shall all work together to move the company into greater heights, making it better for everyone than it is now.”The stunned audience overshadowed Roger’s words. They were too frozen looking at him than the words coming from his mouth. The guy looked young but exuded an unmatched authority, similar to that of his father.Even when he was done, they still could not get over it until Giovanni glared at the reporter. She smiled from embarrassment before proceeding with the report.Blood crept to her cheeks, turning them red. “You heard it yourselve

A few days ago, Van returned from taking Karen to Dublin. He miraculously made it on time for the press conference, and everything went as planned.When Roger planted a tracker on him, Van received the signal but was not surprised. Roger would go to any extent to locate Karen.Van was relieved that Karen was safe and he didn't have to see her anytime soon.However, things took a different turn when he came home from work the next day. Delanie was sitting in the living room looking shattered, exhausted, and sorrowful.She didn't greet him with her usual signature smile and immediately addressed him."Dad, Roger hasn't eaten in two days," she said.Giovanni froze. Everything was fine yesterday, and Roger was at the office today. "He must have eaten at work. Let him be," he replied, half-worried. But Delanie insisted, "No, he hasn't, dad, and he doesn't want anyone in his room.""He'll eat when he's hungry," Giovanni casually replied, though he was internally disturbed.The next day, bei

In the days that followed, Roger focused only on the most important tasks at the office, making sure to eat on time, even if he didn't have much of an appetite, and ensuring he got enough rest. He wanted to look his best for Karen, and each day without her felt like torture. The birthday party took place at one of the Dawson hotels. Molly, who hadn't celebrated her birthday in decades, made sure to give it her all. The multiple crystal chandeliers created an elegant ambiance, blending with tiny blue LED lights that resembled stars in the sky. The classic Chiavari chairs were adorned with baby blue satin fabrics around large round tables that could accommodate six to ten guests. The glassy floor reflected the lights, giving the illusion of walking on clouds when the smoke effect was activated. Guests from around the world, as well as family and friends, were invited to the party. Delanie and Declan shared tables with Hector, Hendrix, and Lexi, as both families wanted to keep their

A few days ago, Karen had shown interest in inviting a friend to the party. Van tried to discourage her, but it was useless without revealing everything."He saved me at the club and has been wanting to see me. This is the time to make it up to him," Karen insisted. To her, it was rude to just cut Wade off after helped her.Van was reluctant but eventually agreed after conducting a few more investigations about Wade. The foster family that had adopted him before tragically passed away a week later, and he was back in the system.A year later, another family adopted him, a mafia family based in Mexico. Wade had decided to make them proud after meeting some of the children under the system.Their experience made him to count himself lucky. It wasn’t easy to find good parentage, and his record had been clean since then, nothing like the Wade his real parents had turned him into.Van left after giving Octavia a few instructions about the arrangement, and Karen texted Wade. ‘I will be atten
