All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Damian's long strides echoed through the executive corridor toward his office.He shoved the wooden door open with unnecessary force before slamming it shut behind him, the loud bang reverberating throughout the room.He shrugged off his black suit jacket and carelessly tossed it onto the sofa.His fingers roughly loosened his necktie, which suddenly felt suffocating around his neck.He walked past his desk and stopped in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the city's towering skyline.His gaze swept across the busy streets below, but his mind remained completely occupied by the image of the woman standing at the beauty products booth.That smile.Damian clenched his jaw until it ached.For an entire year as his wife in front of the media, Sienna had always worn a formal smile—stiff, obedient, and restrained.It was the smile of a woman who knew exactly where she stood and understood her limitations.But the smile she had given the shoppers at the mall...It had b

That afternoon, the mall corridors were still bustling with shoppers.Sienna stood gracefully behind the beauty product booth, straightening a few brochures that had become slightly disorganized after assisting previous customers.A thin layer of perspiration gathered at her temples, yet her warm smile never left her lips.Behind that smile, however, her thoughts remained occupied by Damian's words. One question continued to linger in her mind.'Why didn't Damian sign the divorce papers? Or... was he simply lying to me?' Sienna wondered.She stood silently for a moment as no customers passed by her booth. Damian's words kept replaying in her mind. Could he have been telling the truth? Edward had not contacted her with any updates regarding the progress of her divorce from Damian.She decided she needed to find out for herself that afternoon. She had to meet Edward.As Sienna remained lost in thought, a familiar voice suddenly called her name."Sienna?"The warm, familiar baritone made

The atmosphere in the room instantly grew tense.An oppressive silence settled over the air, broken only by the steady ticking of the wall clock.Edward showed no sign of surprise. As a lawyer who had spent years dealing with all kinds of people, he simply straightened in his seat and looked directly into Damian's dark eyes, which were filled with guarded anticipation."If you already know why I'm here, then there's no need for me to beat around the bush, Damian," Edward said calmly, though his voice carried unmistakable emphasis. "Sienna came to my office this afternoon. She only wants legal certainty regarding the agreement the two of you made a year ago."Damian let out a cynical scoff. Leaning back against the sofa, he folded his arms across his chest."That woman really is impatient." His voice remained cold, though something stirred uneasily inside him at the mention of Sienna's name. "She has only been out of this house for a few days, and she's already chasing after you as if

After getting off the bus at a stop not far from her house, Sienna walked toward her mother's old house, enjoying every breeze of the night air brushing against her face.Sienna's steps moved slowly along the increasingly quiet sidewalk.The dim streetlights accompanied her as she made her way toward her destination.However, Sienna's steps suddenly came to a halt at a corner of the street.Her gaze locked onto the old wooden bench on her left. Its color had faded with time, but to Sienna, this corner held a memory that remained deeply etched in her mind.Her thoughts were instantly pulled backward, thrown into a memory from exactly one year ago.One year ago.Heavy rain poured over the city without pause. The rumble of thunder split the dark night sky.Sienna sat curled up on the wet wooden bench. Her body trembled violently, not only because of the cold rain seeping through her clothes, but because of the devastation that had just shattered her life.Her stepmother and father had mo

Sienna continued staring at the question on her phone screen for several seconds.She pressed her lips together. After considering it for a moment, she felt there was no reason to hide her address from her old friend.Her fingers moved across the screen again, typing a reply.[I’m currently living in my late mother’s old house, Julian.]Sienna bit her lower lip. Had she made the right decision by telling Julian where she lived?But even if she had not told him, Julian would probably have figured it out anyway.Before Sienna could put her phone back on the table, Julian’s name suddenly filled the screen, accompanied by the ringtone of an incoming call.Sienna was slightly startled, but she quickly swiped the green button.“Hello, Julian?” Sienna greeted softly as she answered the call.“Sienna.” Julian’s rich baritone sounded cheerful and full of energy from the other end. “I just read your message. Would it be okay if I picked you up and drove you to work this morning?”Sienna was sli
