Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband

347 Rest and Reunion (Winona)

When I wake up, the sun is low in the sky, casting a warm, golden glow through the enormous windows. The bed beneath me is impossibly soft, and for the first time in days, I feel... good.

The dizziness has faded, and my headache is gone.

I stretch out, feeling the luxurious sheets under my fingertips. This place is a dream. But more than the comfort, I'm starving. I sit up and glance at the time. It's early evening, and Jayden and the kids are still out.

The suite is quiet and I get up and pull on a robe.

I hear the door click open. It's Jayden. "We're back."

"I'll come out."

"You look better."

"I slept like a log."

I give him a quick kiss as we head out to the living area.

"Mommy!" Abby rushes over. "We saw so many cool things! Daddy took us to see the tallest building ever!"

Bobby, always the calm one, strolls over more casually. "It was pretty cool."

Sarah tugs on Jayden's hand. "Daddy, can we show Mommy the pictures we took?"

"Sure thing," he says, settling onto the sofa beside me.

The girls clamber up with their devices, showing me photos of their adventure. It's heartwarming. watching their excitement. I can't help but smile at how much they're enjoying this experience already. After the kids are done with their photos and stories, Jayden turns to me. "I had the hotel arrange something special for dinner. You ready to eat?"

My stomach growls in response, and we both laugh.

"I take that as a yes," Jayden says..

"Can we go in the pool?" Sarah asks.

"Sure. But eat first and then go and get changed." Jayden says.

There is a knock at the door and it opens.

Jayden gets up to wheel in a tray laden with covered dishes. "It's all local delicacies. Thought we should get the full Dubai experience."

He places the dishes on the dining table. "Go wash up for dinner, kids."

They run off to the bathroom which apparently has gold dolphins for taps.

He pulls the lids off one by one, revealing an array of food-spiced lamb, fragrant rice, fresh bread, and vibrant salads. The smells are incredible.

"This looks amazing," I say, my mouth already watering

The kids are back and sitting down.

Jayden serves me a plate, and the two of us sit down with the kids, who are already digging in. The flavors explode in my mouth with every bite-rich, savory, and perfectly spiced.

I didn't realize how hungry I was until now.

"This is delicious," I say between bites.

"I knew you'd like it," Jayden says, his eyes twinkling. "You do have good taste."

1 laugh, "Really?"

Jayden gets the kids ready for bed. It's a real relief.

Henry is having his bottle and I'm staring at him. I love him so much. "I bet you sleep all night tonight."

Once the kids are settled, Jayden and I retreat to the other side of the suite, the city lights twinkling outside the windows.

I collapse onto the couch, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. Jayden sits beside me, pulling me close.

"This is nice," I say, resting my head on his shoulder. "Just being here with you."

"It's better than nice," he murmurs, pressing a kiss to my temple. "I've missed this-missed you."

"I've missed you too." I snuggle closer to him, savoring the warmth of his body against mine. It feels like coming home.

We sit there in comfortable silence for a while, just enjoying the quiet and the feeling of being together again.

After a moment, Jayden breaks the silence. "So... Viktor's, my head of security. His family has a farm. I went there the other day." "Wait. You went to an actual farm?"

"I did. You

love it there."

I lift my head to look at him. "You think so?"

He grins. "I know so. It's incredible, Winona. They have everything-organic farming, renewable energy, livestock, beekeeping. It's not just a farm, it's a whole operation."

I can see the excitement in his eyes, and it makes me smile. "Sounds like you've really connected with him."

"Yeah," Jayden says, his tone more thoughtful now. "It's been.... challenging with some people at Nexus, but Viktor's been solid. He's helped me a lot."

"I'm glad," I say, reaching for his hand. "You deserve to have people like that in your corner."

Jayden nods, but there's something else in his eyes. "Some of the staff... they're not exactly thrilled about the changes I'm trying to make."

i squeeze his hand. "You'll get there. You always do."

He sighs, leaning back against the couch. "I hope so. But you know what? I'm not worried. Not as long as I have you by my side."

I smile, feeling a warmth spread through my chest. "I'm here for you, Jayden. Always."

"I know," he says softly, brushing a strand of hair away from my face. "And I can't tell you how much that means to me."

We sit there for a while longer, just talking about everything and nothing. I tell him about my decision to sell my share of the business and focus on being a full-time mom for now, something that surprises him but makes him happy. "I'll support you however you need me," I tell him, resting my head on his chest.

Jayden wraps his arms around me, holding me close. I don't know what I did to deserve you."

"I'm sure we can manage anything over here temporarily. Have you told them you're looking to sell up yet?"

I feel the hesitation in Jayden. "I'm not looking to add more stress to the situation. I'd rather not mention that, right now,"

"Okay. But that's still your end game, right?"

"Oh, for sure."
