Dumping My CEO Husband AND His Annoying Little Heir Was the Best Career Move I Ever Made!

Chapter 11 The hotel suite was sweltering , Ronan was propped up in bed , an IV line taped to the back of his hand , feeding from a bag hanging above him . Days of interrogations , audits , and isolation had worn him down to nothing . His body had finally crashed , and a fever left him weak and aching . He stared at the ceiling , watching the IV drip . Drip . Drip . A burning pressure sat on his chest . His vision kept blurring and refocusing , like the whole world was wrapped in fog . Outside , the city lights sparkled , but they couldn't reach him in this brightly lit cage .

A knock at the door . Two sharp raps . He watched the door open slowly . It was Evelyn , in a black coat , holding a tablet and a folder . But behind her ... nothing . Just empty space . The fire in his chest flared . A sharp , itchy feeling exploded in his throat . He turned his head , his body shaking with a violent coughing fit . Evelyn rushed toward him , but he held up a hand to stop her . " What is it ? " Ronan asked , his voice raw but steady once he caught his breath . " Mr. Grey . " Evelyn sat on the couch across from him . " Should I call someone ? " " No.

" He shook his head , his chest burning . Evelyn started her report . " The preliminary due diligence on the Southbridge project is in . It's more complicated than we thought , but we've identified the core risks . Audit and Legal are in emergency negotiations ... " Ronan listened, giving instructions and asking questions , his mind still sharp . His judgment was still precise . They finished with the work stuff quickly . Evelyn put away her tablet and pushed the folder toward him . " A few urgent documents for your signature . The originals have been filed . " " Thank you .

" Ronan took them , signed each one , and handed them back . After Evelyn left , the room was empty again . Another knock . 09:48 Dumping My CEO Husband AND His Annoying Little Heir Was the Best Career Move I Ever Made ! 58.8 % hapter II " Come in , " Ronan said without opening his eyes . His assistant , Marcus , came in . " Sir , how are you feeling ? Should I get the doctor ? " " No. Report . " Marcus took a deep breath . " Sir ... Ms. Pax went to the office . She confronted Mrs. Grey . " Ronan's eyes snapped open , that itch in his throat flaring up again before he forced it down .

" Is something wrong with Orion ? " " No , sir , " Marcus said , shaking his head . " Ms. Pax was just upset . She said Orion's been crying and not sleeping , and she accused your wife of keeping you from him . " Ronan's face darkened , his expression turning ugly . Marcus hesitated . Ronan's tone was sharp . " Spit it out . " Marcus chose his words carefully . " Ms. Pax wasn't very ... discreet . Mrs. Grey told everyone about the abortion and the divorce . In public . She said that your business was no longer her concern .

" Ronan's hand clenched so hard the IV needle ripped out , blood blooming on the tape . The burning , metallic feeling in his throat exploded . He started coughing , a raw , gut - wrenching sound . A fresh sweat broke out under the gauze on his forehead , his face turning from pale to a sick gray . Marcus fumbled for a tissue to press against the bleeding hole in his hand . " Get out , " Ronan choked out between coughs . " Sir , I'm getting the doctor ! " Ten minutes later , a doctor came in , re - taped the IV , and left without a word . Ronan's temples throbbed with a wave of dizziness .

She didn't want him anymore . She hadn't even given him the dignity of a private goodbye . She'd ripped open every wound in public just to cut him out . Ronan sank back into the pillows , his vision blurry , the light in the room distorting like it was shining through frosted glass . A hot sting filled his eyes , and a single tear traced a path down his temple . He couldn't remember the last time he'd cried . Seven years ago , when he found out Sloane cheated , he'd been angry , sure , but he'd kept a level head . He'd negotiated a clean divorce to minimize the chaos .

A physical injury , he could entrust to doctors and time . Even Orion's problems , he could manage with therapy and patience . But this ... with Wren leaving him ... he was completely powerless .

Ronan stared at the ceiling for a long time before he slowly pushed himself up . If she was really determined to go , forcing her to stay would just make things uglier . He picked up the hotel phone . " Marcus , come in here . " Marcus opened the door quietly . Ronan stared blankly out the window . " Contact Ms. Vance . Redraft the divorce agreement .
