Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

Sienna was still leaning against the wooden door. Her heart was pounding wildly, and she pressed a hand against her chest in an attempt to steady her erratic heartbeat.She looked down at herself. The thin T-shirt clinging to her body, the shorts that ended well above her knees, and her messy hair, completely untied.Sienna’s face grew hot. Not because the morning air was beginning to warm, but because embarrassment was quickly spreading through her entire body.They had been married for a year. A year spent living under the same roof.Yet Damian had never—not even once—seen her in a state like this. Their bedrooms had been separate from the beginning, and Sienna had always maintained that distance strictly. Even in Damian’s house, Sienna always dressed neatly whenever she stepped out of her room.And now, in her own house, on what should have been a peaceful morning, Damian had seen her like this.“Sienna?”Damian’s voice from outside sounded confused, with a hint of impatience. “Why

Damian fell silent at Sienna’s sharp remark. Her words struck him hard, making him pause for a moment and reconsider his own behavior.He had just realized it—his tone had been too forceful, too demanding, exactly like the way he used to order Sienna around in his luxurious home. Apparently, that old habit was still deeply ingrained in him, surfacing without him even realizing it.Damian’s jaw slowly relaxed. He let out a long breath, trying to suppress the remnants of the emotion that had flared up in his chest.“I’m sorry,” Damian said quietly, his voice sounding awkward and unfamiliar even to his own ears. “I... didn’t mean to pressure you like that.”Sienna stared at Damian with a strange expression, her brows still slightly furrowed. She had never expected an apology to come so easily from the lips of a man who had always been so arrogant and unwilling to back down.Damian himself felt uncomfortable with the situation. He shifted his stance, avoiding Sienna’s scrutinizing gaze th

Damian was about to pull Sienna away from the crowd when a hand suddenly grabbed Sienna’s arm from the other side.“Wait,” Julian said, his voice firm yet still polite. He refused to let Damian simply take Sienna away. “Sienna came here with me tonight. I’m the one who brought her here. You shouldn’t just take her away like that.”Damian stopped in his tracks. He turned around and stared at Julian with a cold, piercing gaze, clearly displeased by the man’s interference. Especially since Julian, not Damian, was the one who had come to the party with Sienna.“Mr. Mercer,” Damian said in a low voice, the words carrying a veiled threat. “Sienna is still my wife. I believe I have more right to speak with her than you do.”Julian tensed at the sharp emphasis on the words my wife. His jaw tightened, but he did not immediately release his grip on Sienna’s wrist.Standing between the two men, Sienna could feel the tension escalating. She turned toward Julian and gave him a look—a silent plea f

Sienna and the others immediately turned toward the source of the voice.Suddenly, Sienna’s fingers tightened around Damian’s arm, silently revealing just how tense she was at the sight of this woman.The woman who had always intimidated her without regard for the situation and never hesitated to humiliate her in front of others.Damian glanced down when he felt Sienna’s fingers tighten around his arm. He could sense the panic on her face.Beatrice’s voice echoed through the crowded ballroom, causing several guests nearby to turn their heads curiously. The soft orchestral music suddenly felt strangely out of place against the tension that had erupted in the middle of the ballroom.Beatrice approached with the firm click of her high heels against the marble floor. Her shimmering evening gown contrasted sharply with her hardened expression, her narrowed eyes sweeping over Sienna from head to toe.“I asked, why are you here at this party, Sienna?” Beatrice repeated, her voice sharper thi

The brief introduction went smoothly. Vivian smiled warmly, occasionally offering Julian small compliments about his reputation in the construction business, making the atmosphere feel natural and pleasant—as though there were no hidden intentions behind her words.“I often hear the name Mercer Construction mentioned among investors,” Vivian said with genuine-sounding admiration. “You’re truly impressive, Mr. Mercer.”Julian smiled politely, responding to the compliment with humility.Sienna stood beside them without joining their conversation. She maintained a faint sense of wariness hidden behind her smile.Vivian glanced briefly at Sienna before turning her attention back to Julian, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat awkward.“Excuse me, Mr. Mercer, may I borrow Sienna for a moment?” Vivian asked, making her voice as gentle as possible. “There are a few things I’d like to ask her, woman to woman. It won’t take long, I promise.”Sienna remained silent as she looked at Vivian,
