Chapter 44: Clyden's Reason
Clyden
I 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

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
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 48: Clyden's Missed Call
ClydenI am losing my mind. I’ve been to every person I know, yet I’m still not able to get any news about Maia. I’ve also gone to the hospital that her mother was admitted in, only to find out that she had long been discharged.I closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose as I leaned against my chair. I was currently in my company’s office, dealing with the blunder that Jasmine and grandma Edith caused a few days ago. The moment they went back into the house, I had them pack their belongings then I banished them right away.I was going to press charges against them, but I backed out in the end. At the end of the day, they’re still a part of my family. However, I already told them not to show their faces to me anymore because I might just change my mind if they did.I had too many problems on my plate these days. First, I learned that the people I was living with were actually stealing my money behind my back. Second, m
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 49: Lucas' Warning
ClydenI was all alone in my office because Karl had to set out to the address that I gave to Edith and Jasmine. I told him to make the place as unlivable as possible since they were the reason why I wasn’t able to answer Maia’s call.I was still staring down at my phone, hoping that Maia would call once again when someone knocked on the door.Is Karl already back? That was fast.“Come in,” I mindlessly said, still staring down at my phone.“Did you trash that place like I told you to? You came back earlier than expected, so I’m worried whether you were able to—”I paused when I felt an unusual presence in the room. I looked up, expecting to see Karl, but I saw the person that I never would have expected to find in my office. A tall blonde figure hovered over me, and I looked up to him with a frown.“Lucas? What the hell are you doing here? Why didn't the front desk inf
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 50: Clyden's Misfortunes
ClydenI was already in the airport, waiting for my flight to be called. I tapped my foot on the floor in both nervousness and excitement. I was excited to see Maia and hold her in my arms once again, but I’m also unsure whether she’ll even speak with me. I'm even unconfident that she'll let me inside of her house! I just hoped that she’d give me the chance to explain myself.I looked at my watch and saw that it was only a few minutes until my flight is due. Eager to get on the plane right away, I stood up and waited right in front of the doors.I waited for the exact time of my flight, but not a single reminder resonated in the airport. I frowned. The flight’s already due. Why isn’t anyone opening the doors?Just then, someone spoke into the intercom, and I felt relieved for a second.“Good day, passengers! Today is a very special day since our pilot himself has something to say.”I frowned in confu
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 51: Maia's Fear
MaiaI jolted awake when I heard that there was someone knocking on the door. I opened my phone and flinched when its bright light hit me.11:42 PMWho the heck would be knocking on my door at almost 12 AM in the morning? Unless...My eyes widened in surprise as I thought of all the worst-case possibilities. No one in their right mind would knock on my door unless they were planning on mugging me.My mom also isn’t here since she’s staying in the hospital for some assessments. What perfect timing!The person kept knocking on my door, and I was getting more anxious by the minute. I looked around to see if I could use anything as a weapon and sighed in relief when I saw a piece of wood near the closet.I walked slowly towards the piece of wood and held it firmly with my hands. The person’s knocks were getting even louder and louder, causing me to move more swiftly.Suddenly, the knocks stopped, but the anxiousne
The CEO's Forgotten Wife Chapter 52: Maia's Shock
MaiaOkay. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to let Clyden stay here in the house. But, who could blame me? He was so smooth with his words, and he just told me that he loved me despite all of our conflicts in the past. Who wouldn’t fall for that?However, I am slowly regretting it since I couldn't sleep knowing that he was only a few meters away from me. I looked down onto my stomach and caressed it.“I’m sorry if mommy isn’t letting you have any sleep. Your daddy’s sleeping outside, so mommy’s nervous,” I softly whispered.Suddenly, the door opened, and I got a bit frightened. I held onto my chest and propped myself up with one elbow.“What the hell! You scared me!” I said, still holding onto my heart.He smiled sheepishly while holding the door open. “Sorry.”I sighed and leaned back on my side. “What do you want?” I asked.He let out a deep breath
