Substitute Wife For The Blind CEO

Chapter 66: Enough For Two

The taxi ride to the house was smooth but as soon as she got there, all the emotions she had been holding up shattered like a glass being dropped to the ground as it came crashing down like a tidal wave.

The house, once a place she had begun to think of as home, now felt foreign. Each wall seemed to whisper betrayal, each step echoed with a memory she wasn’t ready to face. Her hands trembled as she walked in through the front door, her heart pounding in her chest.

Inside, the silence was deafening even though the household staffs were going about their activities. Looking at them, she could see almost all of them had been changed and that was when she realized this plan had been in mode for quite a while. She was the one who didn’t see it coming. She’d been gullible and naive.

Ruby walked past the living room where Stefan had once held her, whispering promises into her hair. Past the dining table where they had shared quiet dinners. Every room bore the ghost of a moment that now meant nothing.

She entered her—no, Ivy’s—bedroom and grabbed a duffel bag from the closet. It didn’t matter what she took. Clothes were just clothes now. What she needed was distance. Air. A place to breathe without the weight of betrayal pressing down on her lungs.

She packed in a blur—two dresses, some essentials, her prenatal vitamins and the photo from her scan result, smiling like the world was hers.

When she reached for her passport in the drawer, her fingers brushed against a small velvet box. Curious, she opened it—only to find the necklace Stefan had given her weeks ago, the one he said reminded him of the stars. She stared at it, then quietly shut the box and slipped it into her bag.

Some reminders were painful, yes—but they were also real. And she didn’t want to forget that she had existed, even if Stefan chose to forget.

She gave the room one final glance before heading out, with the scan result in hand. As she walked past her and Stefan’s bedroom, a thought crossed her mind and she stepped into the room. fre.ewebnov el.com

Ivy could have him for all she cared but then, it also wouldn’t hurt to create some problems between them she thought as she slipped the result into one of Stefan’s documents that was lying on the bedstand.
