All Chapters of Hands off my wife ( my little secret with Mr CEO): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"How did you even find him?" Alex glanced at me. Unbothered. "I have people." "People?" "People who know how to find people." I frowned. "That's not an answer." That faint smirk tugged at his lips. "It's the only one you're getting." "Alex, seriously. How do you have four men waiting in an abandoned warehouse?" He leaned back, completely relaxed "Being a CEO doesn't mean I spend all day behind a desk, Rayn." "Then what exactly do you do?" His eyes locked on mine. "I make problems disappear." I stared at him. "That's supposed to make me feel better?" His smirk deepened. "It should." "Is it getting hot in here?" Alex loosened his tie slowly, his eyes never leaving mine. Then he undid the top button of his shirt. Just one. I blinked. "What are you doing?" A slow smirk curved his lips. "I made your problem disappear," he said, voice low. "I think I deserve a reward." I laughed, shaking my head. "Here? Oh, no, no, no." Before I could step

I quickly closed my eyes again and let out a shaky breath, pretending I was completely lost in the moment. Ethan didn't move. "Rayn?" I ignored him. Eyes still closed. Breathing uneven. He stayed still for a few seconds. Just watching me. Then, slowly, he pulled away. "You just said Alex..." My eyes fluttered open, slow and confused. Like I had no idea what he was talking about. "I did...?" Ethan stared at me. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes... his eyes were already doing the math. "Isn't that your boss?" My heart dropped straight to my stomach. "Eth..." He just sat there on the edge of the bed, staring at me like he was waiting for an explanation that would make any of this make sense. "Babe, I—" He suddenly got off the bed. Stood up and ran a hand through his hair, frustrated. "Ethan..." He shook his head. "I need a minute." "Wait." I reached for his hand, but he pulled away before I could even touch him. "Just... give me a minute

That morning, Ethan had dressed up for work, and Leo was already set for school. "Bye, Mom!" Leo waved at me. I was sitting at the kitchen counter, slowly sipping my coffee as I watched them get ready to leave. "Bye, baby." Ethan gave me a faint smile before they both headed out. I was wearing a simple fitted sun dress and flat sandals. Casual, but neat enough to leave the house in. I grabbed my bag and headed out shortly after them. I took a bus because I didn't know the exact location of the warehouse. I had already texted Alex that I was on my way. The bus dropped me off quite a distance away, so I had to trek down a lonely alley toward the warehouse. "For God's sake, why this location?" I had been there before, but Alex had always driven me there. This time, I had to go alone. --- At the warehouse, I found Alex already there. He was standing with his hands in his pockets, like he knew I would walk in any minute. He wore a white shirt with the sleeve

I dragged Alex through the back door. The second we stepped outside, cold air hit me — and then I realized where we were. A maize farm. Tall stalks everywhere, swaying . No lights. No path. Just endless green and rustling leaves. “Left,” he hissed, his voice barely there. I tightened my grip around his waist. He was so heavy, leaning almost completely on me, but he knew exactly where he was going. “You've used this path before, haven't you?” I whispered. He didn't answer. He just kept moving, one painful step at a time, parting the stalks with his free hand like he'd memorized this route. A few minutes that felt like forever later, the stalks thinned — and there it was. His car. Black, dusty, hidden under the trees at the edge of the farm. “Are you sure you can drive?” I asked, already breathless. He nodded. But his breathing was wrong. Short. Uneven. Every inhale came with this faint, terrible whistle. I knew he was hurting badly. He was just trying too hard not to s

ETHAN 'S POV I stared at my phone long after the call ended. My jaw was clenched so tight it hurt. "Alex needs me." Those three words kept looping in my head. Over and over and over. I clenched my fist. Why did Alex need my wife? He had doctors. He had nurses. He had a whole damn hospital around him. He probably had family. So why did Rayn have to be the one to stay? Why did she sound so desperate to be beside him? I pushed myself off the bed, anger boiling in my chest. I am her husband. Leo is her son. And she just chose to stay with another man. I grabbed my phone again. Her name was right there on the screen. I wanted to call her back. I wanted to scream, What the hell is going on, Rayn? But I didn't. Because I was terrified of what she would say. Or worse — what I would hear in her voice. My chest tightened until I could barely breathe. And then I remembered it. The way she looked that night when she said his name. Like it meant something.
