Novel & Cerita A Second Chance With The Ceo After Divorce

It had been real to him. And I'd had it. I'd had everything I wanted, until the footage. Until he'd watched those thirty seconds and seen what I'd done and everything I'd built came crashing down. My phone buzzed again, this time a news alert. "Sterling Industries CEO Continues Recovery at Home with Wife." Wife. They were already calling Eve his wife again, even though the divorce papers had been signed. I clicked on the article. Photos of the building, a statement from the company, a quote from "sources close to the family" about how Eve was supporting him through this difficult time.

"I’ve said everything that needs to be said. The choice is yours." Reality proved that threats worked. I successfully got the divorce certificate. When we walked out of the courthouse, her expression was sour. "You’ll regret this!" I ignored her and walked away. After the divorce, I started a business for the second time. Returning to familiar territory, I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I was determined to build something of my own. I had no time to regret anything, but she did. She announced her breakup with Mr. Hundred Times on social media and stopped caring about the company altogether.

"You've been here. Working. Running the company, actually. Your father retired three years ago. You're CEO now." CEO. I was twenty-seven in my memories. How could I be CEO? "What else?" Something in James's expression told me there was more. "Tell me everything." James sat down heavily in the chair beside my bed. "You got married four years ago. To a woman named Elara Bennett. You divorced her two weeks ago, right before the accident." The words didn't make sense. Married? Divorced? I had no memory of any woman named Elara. "I don't understand. Why would I marry someone and then divorce them?"

I did not even blink before signing my name and tossing it to Rebecca. "Great, I'm done with this marriage, too. Sign it! Let's end this now." Rebecca froze for a second at the sight of the divorce papers, then shot back in disbelief. "You... You'd really go through with this divorce?" I smirked. "Why wouldn't I? What's with the overconfidence?" She stuttered in response. "We've been married for five years, and I'm the CEO of Harris Group, worth billions. Where will you find someone like me after we split?" she asked, still boasting.

"Tyrell Griffin!" I shrugged. Even if she looked good, it didn't matter. Beauty was just another kind of trap. The following days were simple. I spent money every single day, shopping until my hands hurt. If I didn't burn through her money now, I might never get the chance again. When the mandatory waiting period ended, I immediately dragged Victoria to finalize the divorce. Once the divorce certificate was in my hand and I confirmed the two billion dollars had arrived, I turned to Victoria with a grin. "Thanks for the money, ex-wife. Hope you two have a happy life and a house full of kids."

" I said seriously, my eyes locking with hers. For a moment, staring into those wild eyes gnawed at my heart, forcing memories of our divorce. I had wronged her. I had unjustly abandoned my wife and it's up to me to make things right. Luckily for us, the world hasn't had a whiff of our divorce. We both kept a low profile after we separated. I had a business to take care of, one that needed urgent attention and my mom was terribly sick, I couldn't go after Louisa. Everything was crashing after I divorced her – maybe she was my good luck charm. It took me years of determination to save the family's company. Now that's over, I need to get who completes me. Louisa's laughter was a siren's call,

That first love of yours is nothing compared to Ashton! "Renee! How can you talk about Calvin like that? How is he not as good as Ashton?" Roxy snapped. She let out a heavy exhale. The hesitance slowly vanished from her eyes. She took out the divorce agreement she'd prepared ages ago and handed it to Ashton, saying, "Let's end things with dignity. Sign it. I'll give you five million dollars. That's enough for you to live off of for the rest of your life. Celia will stay with me, but I won't stop you from seeing her."

Evelyn said. Well.... I guess they indeed struck luck. Vivian said, looking at Evelyn. After you left, news started spreading that the CEO of Knight Group, Logan Knight, is in a relationship with Madison Reed. I had thought it was just a rumor, the famous tycoon couldn't possibly have such bad taste, right? But it turned out to be true, their billboards were everywhere. Soon after they had a grand wedding, it was the talk of the town. I even heard they had a son together, although he's never been on the news. Vivian explained.

I couldn't just help with repeating everything she threw at me, it felt like my brain was short circuiting. Where was my docile, obedient wife? The one who could sprout out of bed in the dead of night to quickly fix me up a snack if I asked. Only a week ago, she'd kissed me and told me that she didn't mind Cassie moving in with us despite our former romantic history and the undeniable tension but still existed between us, sparking the air and electrifying my nerves. Now she was raving about a divorce, and an absurd settlement. As a CEO I could take that, but we were about to establish a new branch in another state, that money would go to better use.

"Chloe, thank god. I knew you'd come back. We need to talk about this reasonably." "There's nothing to talk about." My voice came out steady despite my shaking body. "I want a divorce." "No." He crossed his arms. "I'm not signing any divorce papers." "You don't get to decide that." "Actually, I do." He moved closer, and I saw the calculation in his eyes. The same look he got during business negotiations. "The company goes public in three weeks, Chloe. Three weeks. Do you know how much investor confidence matters? They want stability. A solid family man with a devoted wife. Not a divorced CEO with drama."
