บททั้งหมดของ Wife on Strike : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Dimitri walked beside Kelsey as they left the building.The afternoon sun hung high above the fields. Workers moved back and forth carrying supplies while trucks rolled through different sections of the property.His eyes swept across the land before settling on Kelsey again."You are staring again," Kelsey said softly to him.Dimitri's lips stretched into a huge smile. "I wasn't aware it was forbidden."Kelsey rolled her eyes lightly. "You should look around the field since you asked to walk around.""I believe you are smart enough to know why I asked that," Dimitri said calmly."I really, really don't," Kelsey replied innocently.Dimitri's lips twitched for a second before he chuckled. Then he suddenly held her hand. "I guess I should move forward then."Kelsey trembled in shock and quickly tried to pull her hand away. "What are you doing...?""Holding your hand," Dimitri responded simply while holding it tightly but gently.Kelsey felt her head spin at his response. "Of course I kn

Kelsey stared at Ramon. For a second, she actually thought she had heard him wrong. Then anger rushed through her chest. She let out a short laugh, not because she found it funny, but because she couldn't believe the audacity. Slowly, she turned to face him fully. "You have no right to ask me that." Ramon's expression darkened completely. "What?" "You heard me." Kelsey folded her arms tightly across her chest. "You have absolutely no right to ask me that question." Ramon stared at her. The anger in her eyes caught him off guard. Until now, he had expected her to explain herself. Instead, she looked furious. "Explain what I just saw then," he said coldly. Kelsey laughed again. This time louder. Several workers nearby quickly looked away. The atmosphere became even more tense. "Explain?" she repeated. "Yes." "To who? You?" Kelsey's voice rose. "The same Ramon Holloway that has been parading Wanda around for years?" Ramon frowned. "What does Wanda have to do wi

The moment the car stopped in front of the Ivory Mansion, Ramon pushed the door open and stepped out. "Come out," he said to Kelsey, who had her arms folded across her chest, clearly showing she wasn't pleased with him. Her anger had not disappeared during the drive home. Not even a little. She had spent the entire journey trying to understand how Ramon had managed to drag her out of her workplace like some criminal. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "Come out of the car," Ramon said impatiently. But Kelsey made no attempt to move. She adjusted herself in her seat and remained where she was. Ramon hissed under his breath, lowered himself, grabbed her arm, and pulled her out of the car. "What exactly is wrong with you?" Kelsey shouted as Ramon dragged her through the living room and upstairs to his bedroom. The moment he opened the door, he pulled her inside and finally let go of her arm. Because of how suddenly he released her, Kelsey staggere

The living room fell into silence after Ramon spoke.For a long moment, Andrew said nothing. He sat quietly, his fingers tightening around the glass in his hand.Ramon, on the other hand, felt uncomfortable.He had rarely refused Andrew anything before. Not because he was forced to. But because he owed the man more than he could ever repay.Finally, Andrew let out a slow sigh."I understand." His voice was calm.Ramon felt even worse.But it wasn't something he could change. He wanted to put his marriage in order and bring his little family together.And if Wanda kept being part of the picture, it would be difficult because he could now see that Kelsey obviously didn't like her.Andrew lowered his head sadly. "Perhaps what she did was unforgivable for you not to even consider me."The words made Ramon's jaw clench. "Uncle...""It's okay," Andrew said, forcing a smile.Just then, a noise came from the stairs.Ramon looked toward it and saw Kelsey and Kendrick coming down.His gaze inst

Monday arrived sooner than Kelsey expected.The weekend felt unusually short.As she stepped out of the cab in front of Morgan Cocoa Plantation Headquarters, her thoughts drifted back to Kendrick.Kendrick’s bright smile appeared in her mind.“Mummy is amazing.”A small smile tugged at her lips before she quickly shook her head.She needed to focus.The moment she entered the building, she noticed something was wrong.The atmosphere felt tense.Employees who usually greeted her warmly looked nervous as they greeted her.Kelsey’s footsteps slowed. Her stomach tightened.Just then, she saw Maureen walking towards her in a hurry.“Good morning, ma’am,” Maureen greeted softly, then quickly added, “It’s good that you are here. I was about to call you.”Kelsey frowned. “What happened?”“The department heads are waiting in the conference room,” Maureen answered calmly, though her tone still carried tension.“Already? They didn’t even wait till I came,” Kelsey murmured, not moving.She rememb
