Chapter 39: Maia's Truth
Maia
“I’m sorry that we had to cut our trip short, Maia,” Clyden said while holding my hand.
“Don’t be sorry. We’ve been gone for so long, and I’m also worried about grandma Edith’s health.”
We had just arrived back in Haven city, and we were currently driving towards the hospital. The moment Jasmine said that grandma Edith had collapsed, we unhesitatingly checked out of the hotel and booked a plane ride home. We had a 14-hour flight, and I could feel myself getting tired. I glanced at Clyden, and he looked even worse than me. He had dark circles under his eyes, and he was massaging his temples.
“Are you alright?” I asked, caressing his thigh.
“Yeah. My head’s just hurting for a little bit, but I’m glad that you’re here with me,” he smiled.
I removed his hands from his temples and placed his head on my shoulder. “Sleep for a while. We still

MaiaI bit my nails in anxiety and walked back and forth in the waiting room. Jasmine was with me in the room, but I ignored her heated glares and just thought about Clyden’s well-being. After what felt like forever, the doctor finally went out of the room and gave us a bitter smile.“Good day, Mrs. Gonzalo and Jasmine.”We both stood up and stood in front of the doctor. I placed my hands together and fiddled with my fingers.“What—What happened, doctor? Is he okay now?” I asked nervously.The doctor sighed and looked at the ground. My heart stopped as all the worst-case scenarios ran through my mind.“Do you want to hear the good news first or the bad news?”“Bad news,” I said.“Good news,” Jasmine said at the same time as me.We both looked at each other then she glared at me.The doctor cleared his throat and brought out his chart. &l
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 41: Maia's Departure
MaiaI opened the door to the house, my eyes stained with tears. My throat felt raw, so I went to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water. I slowly drank the water, thinking about all of the memories that Clyden and I made in this space. Tears threatened to spill from my eyes once again, but I held them in. After taking another gulp of the water, I quickly washed the cup and walked out of the kitchen.The living room was dark, and the servants were all probably asleep. That’s a relief, I thought. I don’t want them seeing me in such a miserable state. I trudged up the stairs, savoring its feeling, knowing that it'll probably be the last time that I’ll be going up these stairs.I entered my room and gently closed the door. I don’t want anyone waking up and seeing what I’m about to do. I looked at myself in the mirror and felt a tear escape from my eye. Although I was expecting this to happen, it still hurts now that it has been done. I
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 42: Maia's Fresh Start
Maia“Thanks for helping us out, Lucas,” I said while opening the front door of our new home. It was definitely much smaller than our past house and the Gonzalo family’s mansion, but this is more than enough for me and my mom to start a new life.“No problem. I was really worried when you called that day, but I’m glad you did. You can just call me whenever you bump into any trouble. I’d help you right away,” he smiled.“You know, I’m offended that I’m not the first one that you told me about your situation, Maia. Where have our years of friendship gone? You trusted this tall blondie instead of me?” Camille pouted from behind us.I chuckled and ruffled her hair. “You were really the first one that I wanted to call, but I still remember the price of the dress you bought for me. I couldn’t ask you for some money once again.”"I told you that I could afford it!" S
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 43: Maia's Surprise
MaiaIt has been about a week since we moved here, and I’d be lying if I said that I haven’t been thinking about Clyden. Most nights, I would look at our pictures and wonder if he is also going through the same thing. Has he signed our divorced papers? Has he finally cultivated his relationship with Addison?I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts. There wasn’t any use crying over spilled milk. I have a new life now and my mother to take care of. Speaking off, I have to go to our backyard to harvest some of our vegetables. I’m planning to make a beef and vegetable stew for my mother this morning, and it was perfect since I saw some potatoes in our backyard yesterday.I brought out a small shovel and a bucket from the garage and put on some work boots. Aside from harvesting some potatoes, I also planted different vegetables like lettuce, carrots, and tomatoes. Now that I still don’t have a job, I need to make a sustainable
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 44: Clyden's Reason
ClydenI woke up, confused. The first thing that I saw was the white ceiling of the hospital, similar to the ceiling of the hotel we had in Greece. I almost smiled and turned to my side to see Maia sleeping soundly next to me, but all that I saw was the IV bag connected to my wrist. For some reason, I felt different. I felt… sadder.I frowned and looked around. I was wearing a hospital gown, and there wasn’t anyone with me in the room. My head started aching, and I felt a series of scenes flash through my mind, making me hold onto my head.Maia and I’s trip to Greece…My car accident…My cold marriage with Maia….My conversation with Maia’s dad….My college days….“You seem a little bit confused, Mr. Gonzalo,” a man said beside me. I was startled and looked at him with narrowed eyes.“Relax, sir. I’m just here to talk to you about your co
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 45: Clyden's Visitor
Clyden “Thanks, Karl. I owe you another one. I really don’t know how I could handle all of my problems without you,” I said as we entered the house. “No problem, sir. I really hope that you and Miss Maia patch things up together. Have you tried calling her?” He asked with a frown. I nodded my head. “Yeah, like a hundred times. But I think she had already blocked my number. She’s not answering any of my calls. I’ve also tried calling her friend, Camille, but she picked up the phone, told me to fuck off then blocked me afterward. I really don’t know what to do anymore,” I said dejectedly. “I’m sure that we’ll figure things out. But for now, let’s put all of these in your room,” Karl said, gesturing to my things. I nodded my head and opened the door to our room. However, I felt something strange the moment I entered. It seems different today… almost a little empty. I looked around the room and opened the drawers. Empty. I also looked in t
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 46: Clyden's Criminals
Clyden I got up from my seat as my mom nodded at me in encouragement. “Do you know where she is?” My mom asked in a hopeful voice. My shoulders slumped, and I sat back down on the chair as I thought about where she could possibly be. I sighed. “That’s the problem. I don’t. I’ve contacted her a hundred times already, but it seems like she has already blocked my number.” “Why do you look so defeated? Are you going to give up just because you don’t know where she is?” My mom asked in a stern voice. I aggressively shook my head. “No—no, mom. That’s now what I’m saying. It’s just that—I don’t know where to start.” She looked at me and let out a loud laugh. “Are you mocking me now?” I asked with a pout. She pinched my cheeks. “No, but I’m having a good time seeing you run after Maia like this. The sweet girl had been chasing you for five years. I think it’s only fair that she gives you a little chase too.” “On w
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 47: Maia's Morning Sickness
Maia I groaned as I felt the sunlight hitting my eyelashes. I wanted to sleep more to get rid of my morning sickness, but there were just too many distractions in the house. If it wasn’t the strong and hot sun, then it would be the sound of the barn animals early in the morning. I felt something come up my throat, so I rushed out of bed and into the bathroom. Ugh. Not again. It has been two weeks since we’ve moved to the province and one week since I’ve found out that I’m pregnant. I’ve been hating every second of my pregnancy because I can’t seem to put anything down. I’ve been craving some fruits for the past week, but I’m still not able to buy any up to this day. I can’t ask my mother to go to the market because she’s still a little bit weak, and I also physically can’t go to the market because commuting makes me feel dizzy. The thought of not being able to eat fruits this morning put me in a sour mood, so I initiated a group video call with the pe
