The Divorce Housewife Turned Ceo Novels & Stories

she said "Please, I ask again, what do you want?, is it money?, name your price and I will pay!" I said with all seriousness "I know something that you think no one else knows" she replied "And what's that, stunk brain?" I asked "you are married to the CEO because of his wealth, you are just a gold digger and that's why you hide your identity so well," she said

I told them about the divorce, sticking to the clean, publicly palatable reason, that Cary had had an affair. I omitted the minor detail that our entire marriage had been a contractual transaction from day one. I hastened to add the good news, hoping to soften the blow. ‘But I’ve got a new job with a big company, Velos Capital. And I’ve just been promoted. I’m the Chief Administrative Officer now, a proper C-level executive.’ I said it with a pride I hoped was convincing. ‘Very few people, let alone women, make it to that rank at my age.’

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. Her eyes widened when she saw me. "Serena! Tell me you didn't actually go through with it!" she exclaimed, rushing over to me. I held up the divorce certificate in response. "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."

“Two weeks.” I knew very well that there was no way that the distribution of the property listed on the divorce papers would go into my account immediately. The fact that I would have to think about my own survival after this was even more suffocating. Finding a job out there wasn't easy, especially with my current status. Selling the family home? Seriously. That's not an option. I still had my wits about me and although it wasn't much, I had my skills. If only my problems with Maximilian Von Ziegler were over, I could start reorganizing my life.

Before they got married, he hadn't protected his assets. Now that Riley wanted a divorce and to split his assets, he had no way to stop her! The only option left was to refuse the divorce. Even if Riley sued for divorce, he would not agree. Sean had to deal with Riley and also handle Jack's difficulties. He was so overwhelmed that he didn't have any time to visit Sharon and James. It wasn't until a year later, when he was pushed out of his CEO position by Jack and demoted to a director in the human resources department, that he finally had time.

Ethan broke the silence. “Leave him. You're the one stopping me from making sure he rots in jail for abusing you. Just say the word and it's done.” “It’s not that easy,” she murmured. “Ryan’s all I have known since my parents passed away. I know he can be vicious sometimes but..” “But what?” Ethan cut in, his tone controlled yet a trace of rage bubbled beneath the surface. “He tore the divorce papers… and now he’s behind bars. The land with which this house is built is his and he assured me he wasn't going to sell it to me” Melinda stammered.

Her smile had now cleared off her face. "What you two had back then wasn't a family dealing. You two were practically strangers in the same house." She smirked as she spoke. Throwing her hands around like my broken marriage didn't mean anything. "I didn't need to do anything. Drake was practically begging me to save him from his bore of a wife. I mean, no offense, but you were dumb and stupid back then. No one would have accepted you even if you tried." "And I hope you don't have it twisted in your head that you can get Drake because you are now a CEO? It doesn't work that way darling. I'm back now and I'm here to stay." She finished and I could see her grit her teeth.

“Get that woman out of this house. I will speak to Sabrina myself and plead on your behalf.” “That won’t be necessary,” Adrian said firmly. “She signed the divorce papers. It’s official.” Dorothy’s voice rose in disbelief. “What? How could you let her go?” “Because she is selfish and tried to take everything I built,” Adrian replied, sinking into the couch. Dorothy’s eyes flashed with anger. “Adrian, you are not a scientist. Everything you claim to have was because of her. I will not give you my blessing if you continue with this… homewrecker.”

He appeared more like a ghost. Caleb adjusted his suit, took in a deep breath and sat. The rest followed after him. “I want to extend my sincere gratitude to you all, for your persistence, compassion, and your ability to keep the company running in my absence.” He cleared his throat and cast a glance in Xavier's direction. “However, due to certain circumstances concerning my wife's… disppearance that are beyond my control at the moment, I will not be able to effectively carry on my duties as the CEO of this great establishment.”

She had imagined this moment, she thought she would break, drained by the end of her marriage, but surprisingly, not a single drop of fear came out. Instead, she felt some odd sense of relief. The three years of being under Hawthorne's control, trying to please them and working hard to fit in their status are over. She was now free to build her future. Sophia stood up, exiting the office. The sun was rising behind the city skyline, casting long shadows on the streets. She felt small, useless and insignificant. A woman without a marriage, a divorcee with no career. All she had was mounting responsibilities. Her mother was still counting on her to get money from Marcus for her surgery. Little
