Lahat ng Kabanata ng The CEO's broken vows : Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

A month passed in the blink of an eye.The days that once dragged endlessly with fear, sleepless nights, and painful uncertainty had slowly begun to soften around the edges. Ethan’s condition had improved tremendously, his wounds healing far better than the doctors initially expected. The nightmares of blood-soaked hospital sheets and endless emergency alarms had finally eased.Today, sunlight flooded through the massive glass windows of the executive hospital ward, bathing the room in a warm golden glow.For the first time in months, the atmosphere inside the room felt… light.Alive.Excited voices filled the spacious ward that had practically become a second home to the Chase family.The Montgomery family had arrived early that morning alongside Grandma Chase. Bags had already been packed neatly at the corner of the room, flowers from well-wishers filled one side of the ward, and Eli had spent the last thirty minutes dancing around excitedly because her brother was finally leaving t

“Evie! Evie, over here!”The voice rang out again across the luxurious shopping mall, loud enough to cut through the soft instrumental music floating from hidden speakers.Evelyn froze for the briefest second.The moment she turned and saw Clara waving excitedly from across the glossy marble floor, a violent storm of emotions crashed through her chest all at once.Rage.Disgust.Suspicion.Pain.For one sharp second, Evelyn saw flashes of everything Clara had done—the betrayal, the manipulation, the attempted kidnapping of her children, Ethan lying unconscious in a hospital bed, Eli barely surviving the overdose.Her fingers curled tightly around the strap of her handbag.But outwardly?She smiled.A bright, effortless smile that shocked even herself.“Clara!” Evelyn exclaimed warmly, lifting her hand to wave back. “What a beautiful coincidence.”Not far behind her, Isa nearly choked.“What’s going on here?” she asked sharply, stopping mid-step.Even little Eli looked confused.“Is Mo

“Evie?”Mrs. Montgomery’s voice carried quiet suspicion as she looked across the dining table at her daughter. The warmth from dinner still lingered in the air, but the atmosphere had subtly changed after Ethan’s accidental conversation with Adrian.The older woman narrowed her eyes slightly.“What exactly are you up to this time?”Evelyn nearly sighed.Of course her mother noticed.Mrs. Montgomery had always been frighteningly observant when it came to her children. No matter how carefully Evelyn tried to hide things, her mother somehow sensed when trouble was nearby.“It’s really nothing, Mom,” Evelyn replied smoothly, forcing a small smile. “Do you honestly think I’d lie to you?”Mrs. Montgomery didn’t answer immediately.Instead, she studied Evelyn carefully, as though trying to peel apart every layer hiding beneath her calm expression.Before she could respond, Mr. Montgomery spoke instead.“Whatever this is,” he said firmly, setting down his cutlery, “I hope you’re not putting y

“Ady?!”Evelyn’s sharp voice echoed through the underground parking lot.“What the hell are you doing here?” she demanded as she marched toward him in irritation, the sound of her heels striking the concrete floor sharply.The parking lot was cool and dimly lit, with rows of luxury cars lined neatly beneath flickering white lights. The air smelled faintly of gasoline and polished metal, and every sound seemed amplified in the near-empty space.Adrian, however, looked completely unbothered.Leaning casually against a sleek black car with one hand tucked into his pocket, he simply smiled at her like he hadn’t a care in the world.“Going out to have lunch with my wife,” he replied lazily. “What does it look like?”Evelyn stopped directly in front of him and glared.“This is not funny.”“I know,” Adrian answered with a soft chuckle. “But come on, what’s the big deal? It’s just lunch.”“It’s supposed to be between Clara and me,” Evelyn stressed, lowering her voice slightly even though nobo

Later that night, the Chase mansion was unusually quiet. The massive estate, normally alive with movement from guards, servants, and security personnel, had settled into an eerie silence. Outside, the city lights shimmered faintly beyond the towering glass windows of Adrian’s private study. The faint hum of distant traffic blended with the soft ticking of the antique clock hanging against the dark wooden wall.Inside the study, only the glow from Adrian’s laptop illuminated the room. He sat comfortably behind his desk, sleeves rolled slightly above his wrists, one hand lazily supporting his chin while the other moved across the keyboard. Several unfinished documents were spread neatly across the polished mahogany table, yet his attention had long drifted away from work.For the first time in weeks… maybe months… Adrian was genuinely in a good mood. A dangerous thing. Because whenever Evelyn managed to soften him, he became careless emotionally. And tonight, his mind had completely aba
