Adrian’s Point of View

“Was I too harsh?”

I was startled.

I never intended to say those words out loud. But before I could stop myself, I already had.

Silence followed.

Watson glanced at me briefly through the rearview mirror.

But he said nothing.

He knew me too well to understand that I wasn’t expecting an answer from him or anyone else.

Still, he clearly looked surprised.

That was fair.

Even I was surprised by my own words.

I leaned back slightly against the seat, my eyes resting on the passi

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   68. I Thought It Was Over

    Michela's Point of ViewI had already checked my phone God knows how many times.Still...Nothing from him.No new messages.No missed calls.I laughed bitterly.The one time I truly needed his support...He wasn't there.Even from a text...Yesterday, I had practically begged Rowen to come with me."It's not like they'll allow me to bring you inside," he had said indifferently."So what's the point of me coming?"Just like that, he had shut me down.So simply.I had traveled here alone last night with a heart that felt unbearably heavy.I had stayed in a cheap hotel room with no one beside me.No one to tell me everything would be alright.I let out a slow sigh and looked at the still-closed door.The inquiry would begin soon.After so many interviews...So many investigations...So many interrogations...I had no idea what would happen today.But I knew there was very little chance the outcome would be in my favor.If...If I lost this job...Everything would be over.My reputation.

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   67. Under My Protection

    Serena's Point of ViewI had just finished buttoning my blouse when the doorbell rang.I frowned at my reflection in the mirror.It was too early.Who would come at this time?Becky?But she usually called before coming over, and deliveries never arrived this early.Curious, I walked to the door.Before opening it, I looked through the peephole.The moment I saw who was standing outside, I froze.Then, the next second, I quickly unlocked the door."...Sir?"

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   66. You still love her, don't you?

    Serena's Point of View"They saw everything from the CCTV?"I repeated what I had just heard.For a moment, it was so hard to process it.Did HR really see how Karen and the other girls harassed me?Did Adrian see it too?No...Please don't let him see it.I truly didn't want him to.I didn't want him to worry about me even more than he already did."And Serena, you know what?"Becky leaned even closer, pulling me out of my thoughts."Huh?""They discovered this wasn't the first time.""What?""There was another employee from Karen's team a few months before you joined.""She resigned.""My friend in HR said they suspect Karen had been harassing her too."I slowly lowered my smoothie."Really?"I couldn't even believe it.Karen had actually made someone even leave the company?And no one did anything about that...Until now?"Anyway...""Isn't the investigation moving really fast?" I asked."Big Boss said he wanted everything concluded within a week, didn't he?""So obviously the HR d

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   65. I owe every one of you an apology.

    Adrian's Point of View"As the Human Resources Department..."The entire meeting room fell into pin-drop silence.Every member of the HR leadership team looked at me."You all should be ashamed that this many employees have suffered inside this company while you all did nothingThe HR Director lowered her eyes first."We sincerely apologize, sir.""It was our failure."Her voice was filled with obvious guilt."All the complaints we received were isolated incidents.""Some employees even withdrew their complaints before we could proceed.""And why do you think they did so?"The HR Director seemed startled by my question."Sir..." she hesitated."It was because we failed as a company to make them feel safe enough to approach us."No one said anything."At least now we should take action."The HR Director quickly nodded."Yes, sir."I looked at Greyson."How long do you think a full investigation would take?""Based on all the complaints, if we investigate everything thoroughly, it would

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   64. Most Restful Sleep.

    Adrian's Point of ViewWas that the most restful sleep I'd had in years?I honestly wondered as the car moved through the morning traffic.I had fallen asleep sitting against a wooden headboard.It was probably the most uncomfortable place I had ever slept in my entire life.I wasn't even lying down.I was just sitting.My neck ached.My back wasn't much better.Still, despite all that, I had slept like a baby.Sleep was never something I truly enjoyed.It was simply another task I had to fit into my busy schedule, yet somehow found extremely difficult to accomplish.I didn't even know when it had become like this.Maybe after my mother's death...I had consulted countless doctors, sleep specialists, and tried every possible solution.Still...Some nights, without medication, I couldn't sleep at all.Some nights were manageable with soothing music, scented candles, and every external aid imaginable.And on other nights, despite how exhausted I was and how much effort I put into fallin

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   63. I Didn't Need an Explanation

    Adrian's Point of ViewShe looks so serene...Just like her name.I thought as I looked at her peaceful sleeping face.Over the past few hours, I had been continuously checking her temperature.An hour after she fell asleep, I woke her to take another dose of paracetamol.She was so sleepy that her eyes barely stayed open.Still, she obediently took the medicine.Fortunately, her fever hadn't gone up again after that.I replaced the cooling patches every now and then, just to make sure it stayed under control.Now, watching her sleep so peacefully, I finally allowed myself to let out a quiet sigh of relief.The room was silent except for the soft rhythm of her breathing.The morning sun had begun filtering through the thin curtains, casting a gentle golden glow across the bedroom.My laptop was still open on my lap.Several documents waited for my attention.Yet...My eyes were fixed on her.The tension that had been there for days had finally disappeared from her face.No more nightm

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   4. You Lost Me Today

    Serena’s Point of ViewI shouldn’t have agreed.That was the first thought that came to my mind as I walked to the café where I was supposed to meet Rowen.Last night, I went back to that place I once called home, only to grab some of my clothes and belongings. I didn’t stay there, even when Rowen

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   3. One Chance. That’s All You Get.

    Serena’s Point of View“Serena… can you hear me?”Rowen’s voice was the first thing I heard as the darkness slowly faded and I tried to open my eyes.I shut my eyes again as tightly as possible.I wished I could shut my ears too, so I wouldn’t have to listen to his voice. But I couldn’t move my ha

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   2. You can keep him.

    Serena’s Point of ViewAll the lies I had believed so far… all the false hopes I had clung to as if my life depended on them…How had I let myself believe this for so long?It was indeed my husband inside Room 1243, naked, without even a thread of fabric covering him.“Who the hell?!” Rowen’s voice

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   1. Room 1243

    Serena’s Point of ViewI sat outside the gynecologist’s office, staring at the clock nervously. It was almost 11:30, but Rowen was still not here.I checked our chat again, but there was no reply; he hadn’t even seen my messages.I called him. It took so long before he finally answered. “Serena?” H
