Exelle
"Miss Kim..."
Audrey's voice calling my name broke through my thoughts, and I turned to face her, mustering a forced smile. My mind had been preoccupied ever since Alexis left an hour ago, consumed by the unexpected revelations we had discussed—events from years ago that I had never imagined had occurred.
"Here are the copies of your contract with Mr. Sanchez, along with the papers regarding the proposal of Vallejo Corporation to EXiellene Royal. I've made four copies of each document in case of an emergency. Are you feeling unwell, Miss Kim?" Audrey handed me a white expanding envelope while inquiring about my well-being. I simply nodded in response.
Without any further questions, she left me to my own devices as I opened the envelope and examined the files it contained. Audrey must have sensed my mood, as she refrained from prying any further.
"How about the blueprint of the building? May I che
ExelleWith a devious smile on my face, I settled into the backseat of the car, my eyes fixated on the contents of my black leather notebook. Revenge 101, it was appropriately titled, for within its pages lay all the meticulously crafted plans I had concocted for them. The car whisked me away to the venue of the grand party, the excitement bubbling inside me like that of a mischievous child. Oh, how I had missed the thrill of playing these childish games of revenge during my time on Earth. It was a sensation I had come to relish, and as I indulged in a mental laugh, I reveled in the delicious anticipation of what lay ahead.Glancing up from my notebook, I caught the gaze of the driver through the rearview mirror.Oh, how foolish I must have appeared, laughing to myself in the solitude of the car. I must have looked crazy for a moment. Attempting to hide my amusement, I addressed him with feigned innocence, pretending
Exelle Their eyes were on me, fixated with awe and admiration as I made my entrance. It seemed I had the power to turn heads, drawing everyone's attention solely towards me. "Man, who is she?" I overheard someone whisper. "A goddess? Haha. But she looks like one," another voice chimed in. "Who is she?" someone asked, genuinely curious. "I don't know," came the uncertain response. "Maybe a friend of Mr. Riguera. She's invited tonight anyways," another person speculated. "Is that the owner of EXiellene Royale?" someone asked, recognizing me. "I guess so. But she looks more than just good. She's really beautiful," a voice remarked, capturing the sentiment of many. "Do you know her?" one person asked another. "Yeah, she's quite famous as the owner of the well-known EXiellene Royale. You know, the hotels and resorts in America. But actually, well-known worldwide," the second person explained. "Oh yeah, I remember. She's the so-called Miss Kim of that hotel and resort, EXiellene
Exelle My first kiss was with Alexis, back when we were college students. We were both curious about the sensation of a kiss, venturing into the realm of the unknown. In hindsight, it seems somewhat foolish, doesn't it? Thankfully, our exploration didn't extend beyond that single kiss. I can still recall the gentle touch of Lex's hand on the bare skin of my back, the pressure he applied as our lips met. I could feel our bodies drawing closer, the electricity between us palpable. Yet, that kiss held no significance for me. I remained guarded, fully aware of our surroundings. It was oddly awkward, my attention divided even as our lips were locked. However, when I sensed the approach of the two individuals we had been awaiting, I brought our kiss to an end. I discreetly pinched Alexis' side, eliciting a flinch from him. Perhaps I had discovered a sensitive spot. Both of us chuckled as we parted, our reactions perfectly aligned. Putting on a show, I turned my gaze towards Hans and
Exelle "H-Hans..." I stuttered, my voice trembling as I called out my husband's name. He didn't hear me, and I didn't bother attempting to call him again. Finding him standing on the veranda in the living room, I noticed it was already eleven at night, yet he remained wide awake, gazing outside. The moonlight bathed his body, casting an ethereal glow upon him. Oh, how I loved this man. But I couldn't fathom why he couldn't reciprocate that love. Silently, I watched him from where I stood, admiring his figure and every aspect of his being. He wore the same white polo he wore to work, and his disheveled hair seemed to suit him perfectly. In that moment, he resembled an ancient Greek god, and despite everything, I couldn't deny the innocence and cuteness he exuded when he was silent. I wished it could stay that way forever. His well-built physique, his sharp nose, his long eyelashes, and his lips, so enticing and kissable—everything about him captivated me, stealing my gaze and cla
Hans Darn it! I slammed my hands furiously on the desk, causing him to flinch under my sudden outburst. "What do you mean you don't have anything for me!?" I demanded, my frustration boiling over. "M-Mr. Alvez, I really don't have anything else apart from the initial report I gave you. Everything you asked me to find doesn't match what you're looking for," he stammered, trying to explain himself. "That's impossible. I can clearly sense that she's Xiellenna. So how is it that you couldn't find any information that matches my wife and Exelle!?" I interrogated him, growing more agitated by the second. He remained silent, unable to provide an adequate response. Gasping in disbelief, I facepalmed and turned my back to him. It was inconceivable to me that even my trusted secret investigator, someone who had never let me down before, couldn't uncover the information I desired. "Leave and come back when you finally have what I want," I coldly dismissed him, not even bothering to give h
Exelle Clad in a simple black dress that fell just above the knee, its off-shoulder cut adding a touch of allure, I strode into the restaurant with confidence, meeting his gaze head-on. A lopsided smile played on my lips, accentuated by the matte lipstick I wore. He, the man I had loved since the days of yore, yet who had never regarded me as a woman deserving of his love and affection, now stared at me with a mixture of awe and surprise. Even without uttering a word or making any overt gestures, I could feel the eyes of others fixed upon me, their gazes filled with curiosity. Sam had often remarked that I possessed the ability to turn heads, and today, standing here, I couldn't help but agree. It filled me with a sense of pride, knowing that I had captured the attention of the one I had yearned for. In all honesty, I had been head over heels for my husband in the past. However, times had changed,
Exelle I stood before him, trembling on my feet, my voice quivering as I mustered the courage to speak. "I-I... I have an allergy to olives. I just cooked all of these for your dinner," I managed to say, but I could still feel the weight of nervousness in his piercing gaze. In that moment, I felt small and vulnerable, like a child afraid of making a mistake in front of a stern parent. Despite my longing to express myself freely, fear held my words captive. I felt more isolated than a deaf person, unable to utter even the simplest sound. But he responded with a torrent of anger, as if I were not standing before him. His words crashed upon me like waves, lashing out at my existence. "I don't fvckin' care if you have allergies or what! All I want is for you to finish everything on that table! I already told you that I hate wasting money and cooking too much food
Exelle "You..." I stare at him, shocked and nervous that he might actually discover that I am his ex-wife, Xiellenna, at this very moment. But, of course, I won't let myself be caught. Not like this. Not this easily. I won't. "You must be kidding me, right?" I whisper, mustering the strength that I had lost a while ago. Damn it, Exelle! Don't let yourself get caught so easily! Think of ways to escape this situation, damn it! Of course, I have to, or all of my hardships to come this far would be in vain and meaningless. And yes, he may have caught me off guard like this, but he can't bring down my defenses that easily. Maybe I faltered, but I am not the old me. I'm not the old Xiellenna anymore. "I am Exelle Kim." His face remains unchanged. My words don't even faze him easily. "Yes. This scar was caused by a burn, but not from a hot iron. It's f
