Being a widower with one child for four years did not make Arion give up on finding his wife's whereabouts. Tania's body disappearing in a plane crash didn't convince the guy she was dead. He never missed a day to look for Tania's whereabouts. "If she's really dead, at least her body should be in front of me." That was the sentence Arion always said to strengthen his life. After four years, a miracle finally came. The figure he had been looking for all this time was now standing right in front of him. However, there was something strange. No, there wasn't. It was not Tania. That woman did not know Arion at all. She was even trying to stay away from Arion. So, was it her? Or was it just another person with a similar appearance? But is it true that there are people who look so much alike that the surrounding people can't tell the difference? What kind of mystery does that woman have that Arion won't let her go?

The Missing CEO's Wife Chapter 1 The Answer Is Always The Same, No!

Jakarta-Indonesia

"Tania! Stop!"

"Shut up! Stop calling me Tania! I'm not Tania! I don't know who you're talking about!"

"Tania! Stop! Don't go there!"

A woman around 28 years old running at high speed to avoid being chased by people she didn't know. She ran without knowing where she was going until she had to stop because she was cornered and couldn't run anymore. Her heels slammed into a bridge divider. Right, behind her was the sea. So, she couldn't run anywhere, except...

"Stop or I'll jump from here!" threatened the woman with sweat pouring down her face.

"Tania!!!"

The shouts of several people chasing the woman rang out simultaneously as the woman called Tania carelessly threatened the people in front of her. They were not evil; they were people who loved that woman very much. It was just that, because of a misunderstanding, everything became complicated and ended up like this.

"Tania, don't be rash! Okay, we're not calling you by that name anymore. You are you, she is she. We won't torture you to replace him. But please, don't be rash! You can come down from there and we can talk it over. Save your life, jumping from there is not the solution."

A man who looked most worried about the woman in front of him, who was now on top of the bridge barrier, instantly stopped in place. The man restrained his movements so that the woman in front of him would not act carelessly. One misstep and it's over for her. He tried to calm her down and not threaten her.

"Do you promise not to call me by that name again?"

There was a hesitation on the face of the woman wearing a white blouse and long black pants. The woman looked closely at the few faces in front of her to make sure. Almost all the faces in front of her were unfamiliar to her.

"We promise! We won't call you by that name again."

The man who had calmed the woman down approached slowly. He was extremely cautious because the woman's position was extremely dangerous now.

"Okay, now you stay there and go down slowly. I'll help you. Don't move recklessly!"

After reaching right in front of him, the man extended his hand. The woman complied by extending her hand as well. She prepared to get down from there using the help of the man in front of her. It was fine at first, until just as the woman was preparing to jumping from there, one of her feet slipped and threw her body off balance. Because she was moving too fast, she ended up falling. Instead of falling into the arms of the man in front of her, she fell backwards and the sea instantly devoured her body.

"Tania!!!"

Byurrrrr!

Two months ago...

A man in his full suit rubbing his forehead from earlier. The man continued to grimace incessantly. When asked if he wanted to go to the hospital, the man always refused. It was not the doctor's medicine that he needed, but the medicine of the heart.

"Tania, where are you, Babe?"

The man's mumbling sounded so weak. His hands were always trembling as he reached for a photograph that he kept on his desk. The man gazed sadly at the photo in his hand. A woman was smiling sweetly at him. The man smiled too when he saw her. Difference was that he was smiling bitterly. A man almost shed his tears, unable to hold back the longing for the woman he always stared at the photo of.

"Mr. Arion, please sign this document! Sir?"

"A-ah, yes? Why?"

The man called Arion was stunned when his name was called by one of his employees. The man immediately put down the photo he had been holding. He is now focused on the woman who interrupted his reverie.

Arion picked up the pen he had placed in the top pocket of his suit. He took the document that required his signature and put his signature on the white paper with his name clearly written underneath. Arion Xavier. The sole heir of the Xavier Family. One of the most prominent families in Indonesia.

"Thank you, Sir."

"Hm. Please, call Romi when you come out of my room! Ask her to come here quickly!"

"Yes, Sir."

The woman dressed in a lilac blouse with a knee-length span skirt immediately retreated from her superior's room. Just as Arion had requested, the woman immediately called out to Romi upon exiting.

"Yes, Sir. What's wrong?"

A man who was younger than Arion immediately faced his superior's desk. He stood up straight until his superior opened his mouth.

"Is there any news from Tania?"

Romi answered a question he had heard many times before. Since the answer was no, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"No, Sir. SAR team-"

"Never mind. I know the answer. You just go out!"

"Yes, Sir."

Romi sighed harshly when he saw the disappointment on his superior's face that he had seen so many times after asking that question. The man felt a little sorry for Arion, who was always gloomy when he asked about Tania-his beloved wife.

"Vian, are you at the Corporation? I want to go there."

After Romi left-his assistant-Arion took the cell phone and dialed the number he had previously called so many times. He asked for his best friend's whereabouts and got a nod on the other end.

"Yes. I'm at the corporation, in my room. You just come here!"

Hearing that answer, Arion got up from his seat. The man took the car keys from his desk drawer and left for the basement. He had already told his assistant where he was going. So, if there was anything, Romi could contact him directly. Arion wanted to go to his best friend's Corporation.

-oOo-

"Mr. Vian, there's Mr. Arion in front."

"Let him in!"

"Yes, Sir."

Arion entered after arriving in front of the office of the person he contacted earlier. Arion entered with two tote bags in his hands. He couldn't have come there empty-handed, could he? Coincidentally it was lunch time

"Why? Do you want to talk about your problems again? Do you think I don't have problems too?"

I spent our third anniversary alone in our penthouse, adjusting a white rose and waiting for a man who didn't want to come home. When my fiancé, Chris Osborne, finally arrived, he didn't notice the 1982 Lafite or the dinner I’d prepared. He looked at me with disgust, calling my desire for a wedding date "pressure" before storming out to a private club. I followed him, hiding behind a marble pillar at The Vault as I recorded his voice on my phone. He was laughing with his friends about a $20 million bet. He called me a "boring ice queen" and a "marble statue," explaining that he only needed to keep me around until the merger closed so he could steal my shares and "cut me loose." To make it worse, my own father was in on it, prioritizing his stock price over his daughter's life. Broken and barefoot in a torrential Manhattan downpour, I sought refuge at the Four Seasons. I collapsed into the arms of a tall, dangerous-looking stranger and begged him to take me upstairs. I wanted to be erased, to forget the transaction my life had become. After a night of salt and desperation, I left my engagement ring on his nightstand as payment for services rendered and fled. The next morning, I realized I had jumped from the frying pan into the furnace. My "stranger" wasn't a nobody. He was Gallagher Osborne—the ruthless patriarch of the family and my fiancé’s uncle. He tracked me to a private clinic, trapping me in a room while holding my medical file and the ring I’d discarded. He told me I was his now, and that he’d dismantle Chris piece by piece if I didn't comply. I was a piece of currency to my father, a bet to my fiancé, and a prize to his uncle. I had no allies, no escape, and no mercy left. I realized that being the "perfect daughter" had only made me a target. If they wanted to play games with the "Ice Queen," I decided to give them a frostbite they would never forget. I trashed my art gallery, backdated a diagnosis for a psychotic break, and sent a cryptic suicide note to Chris. As Gallagher watched from the shadows and Chris panicked over his investment, I began the process of scorching the earth. The merger was still happening, but I wasn't the bride anymore—I was the wrecking ball.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
