Before The Divorce: My Ceo Husband Novels & Stories

"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?"

That day, I will make her understand that she has no other place to stay except with me,' Kayden thought to herself and dialled a number to talk to his assistant. "Yes, boss!" "I am divorcing Clover. I want the process to be finished within a week," Kayden said as he darted toward his car and hopped into the driver's seat.

I gripped the door frame for balance as I stared at him. He grabbed my collar in one swift move, shoving me forcefully against the frame. His hateful glare locked onto mine. “Two years ago, when the company was on the brink of bankruptcy, you forced me to sign the divorce papers. “I thought you’d be living well by now. I never expected to see you reduced to signing contracts over a few drinks.” He leaned in closer, his voice low and filled with venom. “Look at me now—I’m Matthew Anderson the CEO. My company didn’t go bankrupt; it went public. Do you regret leaving me behind to clean up that mess?”

“Vicktor, come to your senses! I am your wife! How could you do all of this to me?” Vicktor took a step forward, his expression hardening. “We’re getting a divorce, Lucy. You are no longer my wife.” The word “divorce” that came out of his mouth sounded icy, carrying not even the slightest hint of hesitation. Lucy froze. Her chest felt as though it was being crushed. Tears gathered, but she fought them back with everything she had. She took a long breath, trying to gather the remnants of her pride. “Fine… if that’s what you want.”

‎I stood up abruptly and brought out a dress, in their presence there, I swung it over my body while removing the pyjamas off my body and then walked out of the room. ‎They could have all the time in the world with themselves. ‎While I walked on the cool pavement of our estate, I wondered what to do with my life now, Lexa was back and my husband had gone back to her while I remained invisible in the marriage. ‎ I wasn't considering divorce in any way but that seemed to be the only option. ‎Seconds later, I boarded a taxi and arrived at the hospital several minutes later. ‎I met the doctor, and after waiting for my results, the news he gave me shocked me to my bones.

My head’s too fucked up, and I’ve got a meeting in an hour that I can’t blow off. But as I’m adjusting my tie, that gnawing feeling creeps back in—the one that’s been there ever since she walked out. I thought she’d come back. I thought... fuck, I don’t know what I thought. That our bond would be enough to hold her? That she’d realize how important this was? Instead, she’s gone. She left me. And now, I’m staring down the barrel of a divorce I didn’t see coming. I head downstairs, the smell of coffee hitting me as I enter the kitchen. My mother’s already there, sitting at the counter, looking at something on her tablet.

There is a forced hush in the yard, Mum’s eyes is wide as saucers. “Daniel Flanagan, what is it about divorce you do not understand? We…” I point at him, then at myself, “are divorced. So because I am becoming a CEO, sorry, because I am now a CEO, you think you can gaslight and waltz your way back in with an insincere apology that you did not even give when I found you guilty?” I scoff, “Do you want me to tell them all what you did? With Cecelia, your ‘ordinary’ secretary?” I roll my eyes and whisper to him, “Or do you want me to tell them how you sent your wife into the hands of another man because of a business deal you were to wimpy to get for yourself?”

The divorce certificate in my hand wasn't a symbol of failure but of new beginnings. When I arrived at the Dreamland Studio, Maya was waiting for me, pacing anxiously in the reception area.

"Holy shit," she whispered, staring at the document in disbelief. "You actually did it. You left the CEO of Blackwood Enterprises,one of the most powerful men in the entire world."

“I think that's too late. Your dad said nothing after answering the call, but I saw fear in his eyes.” Haley pondered further. She had just been divorced, and a financial crisis was the last thing she needed. It seemed that all the troubles seemed to have started when the Blue Diamond Company pulled out their assets. But then, it occurred to her that her ex-husband worked in the same company. He was now its CEO. “Did you say three weeks ago?” Haley asked. “Yes. Why?”

He was about to tear the paper away when the title of the next document caught his eye; APPEAL FOR A DIVORCE Hunter flung the document at the wall. His heart was beating so fast, he could hear it pounding against his chest. How dare she? A divorce? Did she think she could just go like that without any consequences?
