Ex-Wife Reckoning 33
“You heard me, didn't you?" Xavier asked.Seriously?"I remember you having good cooking skills. My maids can't make traditional dishes, but you can. So, you are going to work on it, and they will assist you," he said.He was really serious about this."Any questions?" he asked, looking at her."With all due respect, sir, I am your PA and not your maid or cook," Giselle replied, feeling her aching heart.She couldn't believe this.He wanted her to cook for his fiancée's family? Seriously?He chuckled, adding to her aching heart."You have said it all, Miss Harrison," he smirked."You are my PA. My personal assistant. You are meant to assist me personally, and this task is quite personal," he said.She stared at him, feeling angry already."I need to make a good impression on my future in-laws," he added."You really want me to cook for your fiancée's family?" she asked incredulously.He nodded. "Yes, Miss Harrison."Her heart ached."You should get on with it. They are literally on th

Xavier released Giselle, making her move away from him and face the sink."You said you wanted to get water, babe," Arabella said as Giselle sensed her walking into the kitchen."Yes, I was," Xavier replied, placing his cup on the counter next to her."Bring me water, now," he ordered before walking away."Let's go back, baby," he said to Arabella. Giselle looked behind her and saw them walking out of the kitchen.She scoffed, shaking her head as she washed her hands. Rubbing them on her arms where he had gripped, she wondered what was wrong with him. Did he have to be mean all the time? Her arms hurt.Her eyes fell on his glass cup.Sighing, she reached for it and was about to move it to the tap when a thought hit her.This was his glass cup. He had sipped from it.The DNA test.It would be perfect for the DNA test.Yes!She looked behind her. No one was in sight. She wondered what the maids were still doing out there, but they should remain there. She needed to do this now.Gise

Giselle froze as the driver said, “Do as he says, ma'am.""Wha...."He turned around and showed her his own dagger.Her eyes widened."Get out, bitch!" the scary man outside yelled, grabbing her hair and forcing her to come out.She let out a scream as he clenched her hair tightly and forced her to lean on the car door. He moved the dagger to her neck, making her gasp as she raised both hands.Her heart pounded rapidly as she let out breaths of fear.Giselle sensed the driver walking out of the car. He grabbed her bag forcefully, making her whimper."Please... don't hurt me.""Shut up!" the scary man yelled, making her flinch and close her eyes. He was very close, moving the dagger dangerously near her neck."One more word and I will slice your tiny throat," he warned.Terror washed over her.God, his breath made her want to throw up.She had never seen her death so near!"What did you find?" he asked the driver, and Giselle looked at him. The driver was searching her bag impatiently.

Xavier watched Giselle from where he sat. She was the reason he couldn't sleep tonight, the reason he was wide awake. Thoughts of her consumed him.He couldn't stop replaying everything that had happened that day.And now, she had the audacity to come out here, dressed in such attire.What was her plan?His eyes landed on her cleavage, and he felt his sweatpants tighten. They traveled down to her long legs and flawless skin. No doubt she was still as beautiful as five years ago.She has broken his heart. He couldn't forget that. Why was he checking her out?What was she even doing out here anyway?"Xavier," she called, covering her cleavage with her robe.Good thinking."I didn't know you were here," she said, glancing at him as he continued sipping his drink."How are you feeling?" she asked.He scoffed internally."Did you take the pain...""What the hell are you doing out here?" he retorted calmly."I can't sleep," she replied.He raised his brows. "Why?""I... I am hungry," she mu

Giselle walked out of the room dressed in the same clothes she had worn the day before. She closed the door and headed to the living room.It was a new day, Sunday morning, and she couldn't wait to return home to her kids. They had been bombarding her with texts.Not the kids themselves, but Blaire was the one sending the messages on their behalf. They dictated what to write, and she sent it to Giselle.Yes.They mentioned something about going to church, but Giselle didn't think they would go today. Maybe next week."Good morning, Giselle," she heard Isa's voice, making her look in that direction. Isa stood close to Marta, both smiling at her."Good morning, Isa. Good morning, Martha," Giselle greeted them, returning their smiles."Good morning, ma'am. This is for you," Martha said, handing over an envelope.Giselle accepted it, furrowing her brows."It’s from the boss. He said it’s your salary for the month," Martha explained, causing Giselle's heart to jump for joy."Wow, thank you

Giselle knew that Blaire hadn’t done the work with her, but she felt grateful. "I know you didn't do the work with me, but you have done so much for my kids and me, Blaire. You let us live in your house, eat your food, and you put up with my kids' baggage.""That's what friends do. I am not doing it for any payment or whatsoever," Blaire replied.Giselle heaved a sigh."Seriously, take that away," Blaire insisted."Blaire…” Giselle called. "You have a lot to do with the money. Like your kids' school, new clothes for you, and makeup. You need a freaking boyfriend, silly," she added, giving Giselle a playful hit on the shoulder.Giselle chuckled a little."I don't want any money from you, Giselle. I just want you to be happy," Blaire said, making Giselle's heart melt."You are the best, Blaire. But I need to support you. We can't keep eating your food for free," Giselle countered.Blaire got on her feet. "Giselle, stop. I don't like what you're saying."Giselle sighed. "Blaire...""You

“Oh God, Giselle," Harley squealed excitedly as she hugged Giselle. Giselle was excited as well, taking the hug. "It's been years." Harley said, releasing Giselle but they held hands. "Five long years. You look good." Giselle said, smiling as she admired Harley’s expensive attire. I mean what you do you expect? Her brother is a billionaire now. "Thank you. You too." Harley said, making Giselle force a smile. She knows Harley said that just to make her feel good. "God, five long years, indeed. You know, i wanted to reach out to you after what happened but my brother didn't let me." Harley said.Giselle nodding, accepting the fact that Xavier hated her back then. He still does."I wanted to hear your own side of the story but you know how he is." Harley said.Giselle shrugged. "It's okay. I understand. I am not upset with you. I actually thought you were angry with me as well." Harley huffed. "No, I can't be angry with you. Especially when I didn't hear your own side of the story

"Fucking bitch." Harley muttered as she walked towards Rob’s desk. She placed her bag on his desk. "What's wrong, Harley? You look angry." Rob said, standing on his feet. "That's because I am angry, Rob. I can't believe my brother is actually getting married to that thing." Harley said, heaving a sigh and looking away as she placed her hand on her hip. "Oh," Rob said, widening his eyes a little but curiously. "You don't like her for your brother?" He asked. "Of course I don't. She is obviously young and stupid." Harley said, flipping her hair a little. Rob dropped his gaze, feeling excited about the hot gossip. "Well, I think you are right. I don't like her either." Rob said. "Yes, you are not supposed to. She is unfit for him." Harley said as something took her eyes towards the hallway. It was Giselle. She is standing a bit close to the coffee room, pressing her tiny phone. "Do you know who is a perfect fit for my brother?" Harley asked Rob, while still looking at Giselle. "

Giselle sighed as she unlocked the door to Harley’s office. She walked in and turned on the lights.So much for partying.If it weren't for Damien, she wouldn't be there. She would be with her kids right now, not witnessing the drama between Xavier and Arabella.So annoying.She couldn't even drink. She was banned from taking anything beyond water and fruit juice.Drinks had literally destroyed her. She couldn't let that happen again.She walked toward the desk and picked up the only file on it, which had "Monday" written on it.Opening it, she discovered it was Walker’s shoot. Wow. Another shoot. She blushed, recalling her huge portrait on the wall of his company building.She couldn't believe her eyes. She looked very beautiful in the picture.She loved it.Damien was such a nice guy. He had paid for everything she was wearing. He had taken her to a nice restaurant and a spa where she got everything done.He was very nice.No doubt she liked him.What was there not to like?She turn

The night is beautiful and a bit windy. It is past eight pm and the city's lights are igniting the beautiful city. Lens Masterpiece company has two huge lights at top of the building that is pointing to the sky. The building is booming with music, and moving down, you would see a projector on the wall of the building, displaying most of Arabella’s personal pictures and some of her and Xavier together. A lot of exotic cars are piling up in front of building. There are a lot of press and photographers all over the place taking pictures of the arriving guests in their beautiful attires. There are flashes of lights from the cameras all over the area, giving the sense of a Met Gala event or Oscars. There is a red carpet on the ground, leading from the end spot of the company's compound to the inside of the company. There is also a long red ribbon on both sides of the carpet, separating the press and the photographers from the carpet pathway. Guests dressed in very beautiful and expen

Giselle furrowed her brows in confusion.Why is she here?How did she get here?She looked at the bed. Her kids were not with her.What was going on? She didn’t understand.She moved to get out of the bed, but the door opened, revealing Xavier.She froze.He was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, holding a covered plate and a glass of juice in his hands.She furrowed her brows.He smiled at her the moment their eyes locked."Good morning, baby," he said, walking towards her."Baby?""Rise and shine," he said, placing the plate and glass on the nightstand.He leaned in front of her, smiling.She shifted a little, confused to say the least."What's wrong?" he asked, furrowing his brows."What is this, Xavier?""What do you mean?" he asked, pretending as always.She scoffed, standing on her feet and moving away from him."Baby, what is—""Baby?" she retorted, scoffing.He furrowed his brows."Did you kidnap me?""What?""Yes. That's what you did. You kidnapped me. Where are my

Giselle's heart raced more than it already did. Xavier was kissing her roughly and holding her tightly.What had gotten into him all of a sudden?She struggled to push him away from her. She moaned out of frustration, hitting his shoulders with her hands, but he kept on kissing her. He held the back of her head tightly.She felt pressure between her legs. She experienced a lot of emotions: adrenaline, goosebumps, pressure, and anger.He was too strong for her. She didn't like this. What was wrong with him?He moved them toward his desk, making her rest on it as he continued kissing her.She did what her instincts told her to do. She kicked his groin, making him let out a groan and release her. She attempted to run away, but he held her hand and drew her back.In an instant, she gave him a hard slap on the face, making him look away.Giselle was panting in anger. She wanted to hit him again and again. He deserved it. He was her worst nightmare.Her worst mistake!“You bastard! Don’t yo

“Big sis," Alex called.Giselle got on her feet and walked around her desk while still staring at Alex. He was amazed to see her.So was she.He looked different. Different from the little Alex she used to carry in her arms all those years ago. She hadn't seen him in a long time, even after she got married.He was very tall, muscular, and very handsome too.She got closer to him, and they hugged each other."I can't believe my eyes," he said, unwrapping her and looking at her from head to toe."You look different and more beautiful," he added.She chuckled. "Oh my God, Alex. You don't know how happy I am to see you.""Me too, big sis. I looked for you after our parents told me what happened. I couldn't reach you. Aria and I couldn't reach you. I still can't believe what they told me."She stared at him."That you are not my real sister," he added.Her heart clenched."Seriously, sis, I didn't know. Aria and I didn't know until they kicked you out," he said worriedly.She nodded. "It

Loads of regrets washed over her as he smirked at her.She felt terrible.She felt dirty.She felt shameful.She felt pissed beyond anything. She pushed him away, and he almost fell."You bastard!" she yelled, pushing him again."Don't you ever come near me again!" she almost cried, running out of the kitchen.She ran toward the restroom and entered one of the stalls. Sitting on the toilet seat, she covered her face with her hands.She cried silently, feeling very awful.That didn’t just happen to her.He was a devil.He was a bastard!She hated him!She hated him so much.What is wrong with you, Giselle? How could she let him come near you like that?How?!What is wrong with you?!She hugged herself, sniffling.She felt so pathetic.She couldn’t believe she let this happen.She felt very awful.Damn you, Xavier.Damn you!*******After some minutes in the bathroom, she headed back to the studio. She managed to compose herself before stepping out.She still felt awful, but she had to

Giselle turned her gaze away from Xavier just as Damien pulled away from the hug. He gave her a pleasant smile, and she returned it, though a wave of nervousness still lingered beneath the surface.She felt exposed beneath the dress, knowing there was nothing underneath to shield her, though the fabric did its job—barely. The slit ran dangerously high.Harley had picked the dress for her.In fact, Harley had orchestrated everything. She had intentionally caused delays in their preparations and misled Rob with false information.She’d wanted to mess with Arabella a little, claiming Arabella would fall for the misinformation and act immediately.Giselle had her doubts—but looking at Arabella now, caked in makeup and visibly fuming, it was obvious she had taken the bait.It was actually hilarious.“So, what do you think, Damien?” Harley asked.Damien shook his head slowly, his eyes still fixed on Giselle with awe, much like the others in the room.“I think I’m going to make a lot of sale

Ava bit her lips, regretting asking the question. Well, she can't back down now. She has to finish what she started.She couldn't ignore the signs. Her curiosity had to get the best of her.She seriously can't believe Giselle is here and in front of her.The same Giselle her mean girlfriend hates so much."Um...Cameron is an old friend. She talks about her friend called Giselle sometimes." Ava said.Giselle’s face twitched."So I wanted to know if you are the same Giselle she was talking about." Ava said."Yes. Cameron is my best friend." Giselle said, smiling a little.Ava is amazed by that.Giselle is not as she expected. She just called Cameron her best friend.And happily too.Giselle is instantly reminded of the little issue between her and Cameron."But we.....," she paused, looking at her fingers but looked back at Ava. "We are not in good terms."Ava nodded. "Really? Mind telling me why?Giselle shrugged but furrowed her brows a little as she recalled something."Wait, are you

Giselle furrowed her brows as Ava continued staring at her in a blank but strange way."Do you know her?" Elodie asked Ava."What? No, no. Her name is just familiar," Ava said, extending her hand to Giselle and smiling.They shook hands."It is nice to meet you," Ava said."Same here," Giselle replied, smiling a little."So, where did you and my dad meet?" Elodie asked Giselle."I told you, princess," Damien said."I know, Dad. I just want to hear it again, but from her," Elodie said, smiling at Giselle.Giselle let out a chuckle. "We met at the mall. He was buying some pretty dresses for you," she said, making Elodie giggle."And we met again today at the company where I work," Giselle added."That means you both are meant to be," Elodie said, making them chuckle."That's enough questions, princess. Let's have dessert," Damien said, motioning toward the dining table.Elodie held Giselle's hand as they headed toward the dining table.She is so adorable, Giselle thought.When they reac
