All Chapters of Wife on Strike : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

It was noon, and the mansion was quiet as though it was midnight. Kelsey slowly zipped up her traveling bag for the last time after making sure she had packed everything she needed. She stood still for a moment and moved her eyes around the bedroom. Five years. She had spent five years in that room. Yet there was nothing there that truly belonged to her except a few clothes and the diary she almost lost. Kelsey suddenly felt emotional. No matter how strong she wanted to be, it was never easy to leave a marriage, especially one that produced a child. “I will be fine,” she assured herself softly. Last night, Ruby had called to tell her she had returned to the country. Her business trip had not gone well, so she came back earlier than expected. And now, Ruby was coming to pick her up. Just then, her phone buzzed. Kelsey checked it and saw Ruby’s message telling her she was already at the gate of the mansion. A warm feeling spread through her chest immediately.

Ramon’s face was sharp and dark as he walked toward them and stopped beside Kelsey, his eyes fixed on the hand Dimitri was still holding. “She is my wife,” he said again to Dimitri, as if telling him to let go of her hand. Dimitri released her hand immediately, only then realizing he was still holding it after unclenching her fist. “We are getting a divorce though,” Kelsey said to Dimitri trying to correct Ramon’s words. “I see,” Dimitri nodded with a pleasing smile, and for no reason, that smile almost pushed Ramon over the edge. “I will see you some other time, Kelsey,” he added before leaving, not wanting to stay any longer. Ramon’s eyes followed Dimitri’s back coldly as he walked away. The two of them had never gotten along. They were business competitors. Ramon had been seated in the VIP section when he spotted Dimitri and had immediately scoffed. But then his eyes had moved to the woman beside him. At first, he thought he was seeing things. He had looked again,

Wanda sat quietly inside the car as the city lights passed outside the window.Her expression was tight, and the fingers resting on her lap were clenched together.The gala event had ended almost thirty minutes ago, yet her chest still felt heavy.And the reason was simple.Ramon.Throughout the entire event, he never looked at her. Not that he used to anyway, but today had been worse.She was completely invisible in his eyes and also to every other person at the hall.And all because of Kelsey.Wanda had never expected to see Kelsey at the event.“Bitch,” she cursed bitterly under her breath.She had been happy when she returned home yesterday and learned that Kelsey had left the mansion.Finally, she had said to herself.After so many years, she believed she would finally become Ramon’s wife. She had worked hard for it, and with the help of Doris and Venus, Ramon would definitely marry her someday.Besides, in the business world, she and Ramon were a perfect match.And like every ot

Kelsey stormed out of Ramon’s office with anger burning inside her chest.Her steps were fast and sharp as she walked through the company hallway. Her mind was a complete mess after the conversation with Ramon.‘If we get a divorce, just know that you will never see Kendrick again.’His words kept echoing painfully in her head. How could he say something like that so easily?Kendrick was her son too.Her eyes burned slightly, but she forced herself not to cry.She refused to cry inside Holloway Holdings.Lost in her thoughts, she turned at a corner without paying attention.Suddenly, a small body bumped hard into her.“Ouch!”The little boy lost his balance and fell to the floor.Kelsey’s eyes widened instantly.“Kendrick!”She froze for a second before quickly squatting down in panic.“I’m sorry...”But before her hands could even reach him, another figure rushed over quickly and pulled Kendrick into her arms first.“Kendrick!” Wanda’s frightened voice rang out.Kelsey’s hand paused

Kelsey remained silent inside the car after Ruby whispered the plan to her. Her brows stayed slightly furrowed as she processed everything Ruby had said. "Isn't that too manipulative and dangerous?" she finally asked softly. Ruby rolled her eyes immediately. "Please. Compared to what Wanda has been doing for years, this is nothing." Kelsey leaned back against the seat tiredly. "I don't want Kendrick to hurt in the middle of it," she admitted quietly. Ruby's expression softened slightly. "I understand your worries, but he won't," she replied calmly. "You really need to act fast. If you keep allowing Wanda to fill his head with nonsense, one day he truly won't see you as his mother anymore." Kelsey's fingers tightened slowly around her handbag. That was exactly what she feared the most. Ruby glanced at her briefly before speaking again. "You don't need to fight Wanda directly. Just make Kendrick trust you, and my idea is the best and fastest way," she said, then paused for a mo
