The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback
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.This is probably the most annoying of all! Mom leaves and Dad’s other family arrives. I can't accept it! annoying too much!
"Mom, can you just stay here? I won't allow Celeste to be left here with Dad's new family. Maybe what will they do to Celeste," Hiro said, My older brother.
"I can handle myself Hiro, but I won't let Mom leave," I said calmy. It's just a little and I'm about to cry.
"It's good that you're leaving Celestine. I can't stand to be with you here. Don't worry I'll take care of your child, I'll take good care of them. I'm Cassandra," Someone suddenly spoke to us.
The heck dad's hook.
"Wow! I thought the maid threw away the garbage, why is there anything left here? And look, the garbage is breathing and talking now," I said sarcastically.
She ignored what I said and faced a woman who was not very tall and was also holding a cup of coffee.
"Btw this is my precious daughter, Cassidy," She said happily.
"How dare you talk to my mom like that ?!" Cassidy yelled at me.
The thickness of her face to shout at me? she's still brave huh?
"Oh she's your mom? Well She's really your mother. You know why? You have the same habits," I said sarcastically.
I didn't wait for what they would say and I pulled mom and hiro but I still couldn't get away from my peripheral vision that she would pour me the coffee she was holding. I immediately took the umbrella held by hiro and opened it and blocked it in front of Cassidy. I saw the shock on her face. Didn’t she expect that I would act faster than her? I just laughed in my mind.
I glared at Cassidy before finally getting in the car.
After i delivered Mom and Hiro to the airport i went straight home. Hiro will be studying in Dubai for sure and Mom will be able to stay in London for a long time. For sure a big change will happen especially I have a share in dad’s attention.
When I entered the kitchen I caught Cassidy leaning against the sink and drinking fresh milk. Wow? she's really drinking my fresh milk huh?
"You know Celeste, if I were you I'd just leave here. You know it's hard to live with two families," she suddenly spoke as if annoyed.
"Well I'm not you. Why didn't you leave? Isn't that your suggestion?" I answer her back. I saw the annoyance on her face again.
I just felt that gun was pointed at my senses. I didn't react because I'm not afraid of this. I have also become accustomed to always being targeted by a gun because I also trained to hold a gun for almost three months before becoming trained to it.
