Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge 1: Divorce
Kiara's pov I was covered in flour, focused on making Nicholas's favorite cake for his birthday, when he walked into the kitchen. I didn't hear him at first, too wrapped up in wanting everything to be perfect. It had been a while since we'd spent a real evening together. He was always going on business trips and barely even had the time for me, his wife. Even on his birthday, he promised me he wouldn't go to work, until I woke up without seeing him by my side. I fought back my tears and made up my mind to bake him a cake after I told my maid to leave the kitchen for me. I just wanted to impress my husband. “Nicholas, you're back early!” I called out, smiling, my hands busy whisking the icing. But he didn't smile back. He didn't even look at me like he usually did. He just stood there, his eyes fixed, as if he was somewhere else. That was when I noticed the folder in his hands. My heart started to beat fast as I dropped the whisker and moved closer to him. “Is everything o
Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge 2: Stranger
Kiara's pov My eyes flashed open to the blurred sight of a middle-aged man leaning close to me. Panic shot through me as I tried to remember where I was, or even who he was. My fingers tightened around the sheets as my head throbbed. “Doctor, she's awake!” He called, his voice echoing around the room. My head pounded as I slowly recalled what happened. Divorce. Nicholas. A car. “Where am I?” I managed to speak as I looked at the man who sat beside me. He looked rich. “You're in safe hands now, Miss Kiara Abernathy.” The man spoke, a small smile leaving his lips. How did he know my name? What in the world was going on? How did I end up in a hospital? He only nodded toward the doctor, who stepped forward to examine me briefly. “She’s stable, but she needs rest,” she said, giving him a meaningful look before leaving us alone. “Thank you doctor,” “I'm sorry it took us so long to find you, ma'am. Your father is sick, and he wants to see you.” He said, his back slumping. I had
Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge 3: Reunion
Kiara's pov I took a shaky breath as I looked at the frail man before me. This was the father I had imagined a hundred different ways, but never like this. My heart was pounding, and my hands wouldn't stop trembling. This was my father, the man I had built up in my mind for years after my mom's tragic accident which led to her demise. “Kiara…” His voice was barely a whisper, as if even saying my name took the last of his strength. Collen exited the room, leaving us alone as I sat beside my dad. I forced myself to move closer, to reach for his hand. It felt fragile, cold, and I could see the effort in his eyes as he looked at me. There was so much I wanted to ask, so much anger and confusion swirling in me, but all of that felt irrelevant now. “Why… didn't you… come for me?” My voice cracked, barely holding back the resentment I had held in for years. A soft sigh escaped him. “I…tried, Kiara. I searched everywhere. But they…took you from me.” His voice broke, and it hurt to
Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge 4: Successor
Kiara's pov I woke slowly, my eyes adjusting to the hospital room. Damon was right there, beside me, holding my hands. “Damon… what…happened?” My voice was barely a whisper, but I had to know. He looked down, pain clouding his face. “Kiara…the baby,” he said quietly. “I'm so sorry. You lost the baby.” “I lost it?” I asked in a shaky voice. “Yes. I… I didn't know you were married.” He said cautiously, a hint of jealousy in his eyes. “I was.” I replied without meeting his eyes, memories of Nicholas flooding my mind. ‘You lost the baby'. These words hit me like ice, freezing every part of me. My baby was gone. A tear slipped down my cheek, then another, until I was silently sobbing. The hurt was too deep to put into words. Losing this baby made me realize I had totally cut ties with Nicholas. But I felt the agony of a mother losing a child. Even if the dad was a scum. Mandy. She had looked me in the eye yesterday, handed me a drink with that innocent smile, and p
Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge 5: Regrets
THREE YEARS LATER Nicholas' povI stared at the dress hanging in my closet, the only reminder I had left of her. I had wanted to throw it out with her other things, but something stopped me. Now, whenever I looked at it, a mix of regret and anger filled my chest. I had thrown away something priceless, something I never deserved. I had everything I could ever want, fleets of cars, estates, wealth beyond measure. And yet, none of it filled the emptiness she left behind. How could I have been so cruel? How could I have divorced her for Sarah?Kiara was pure, like an angel. She was always there for me, despite how coldly I treated her. I didn't deserve her forgiveness, but I'd do anything to hold her again. “I miss you every day, Kiara,” I whispered, pulling her dress close, hoping to catch a faint trace of her scent. It was almost gone, but I could still imagine it calming me. Her hazel eyes used to meet mine with warmth and understanding. Her hair, always tied back, spilled down he
Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge 6: Arrangement
Nicholas' POVIt was almost too good to believe. As we drove towards a house in Charleston, my stomach was churning. My fingers drummed against my knee, and my jaw tightened.Could this finally be it? Could I really be close to finding her?“Luca, you know… it's better we don't go than going there and not seeing my wife.” I shrugged, my hands tightening into fists. “I'm sure, sir.” Luca nodded through the rearview mirror. “I saw her face clearly. I wouldn't drag you out here if I wasn't certain.”My chest tightened. Was it really her? After all this time? I couldn't even imagine what I'd say if she opened the door. Would she slam it in my face?What if she'd moved on… what if some other man was in there with her? I couldn't even let myself think about that. “Kiara,” I murmured under my breath, rubbing my temples. “Please. Just one more chance…”Luca parked in front of a large, stylish house. I looked out, heartbeat pounding in my ears. The place looked perfect for her- quiet, beau
Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge 7: I'm over him
Kiara's PovI stared at my reflection in the mirror, forcing a smile. It was my birthday, but it didn't feel like it. I had picked a simple dress, nothing special, and put on a bit of makeup. I picked up my phone again, staring at the screen. No messages. Nothing from Damon. Had he forgotten about me?It had been weeks since he left for Singapore to take care of business as usual. He promised he'd call me when he landed, but he hadn't. Not even a single text. I shook my head, trying to push the thoughts away. I shouldn't care. I had my work to focus on. I had been so busy these past weeks that I didn't even have time to feel sorry for myself. My position as the CEO of my dad's empire wasn't much of an easy task, but over the past three years, Damon has been my support. I couldn't rely on anyone, not even my step-siblings. They were always trying to get on my nerves. Today was different. I couldn't help it. My heart ached a little. Every birthday reminded me of Nicholas, and the
Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge 8: Guess who's back
Kiara's Pov Damon's lips were demanding, devouring me in ways I didn't understand. Just then my phone rang, interrupting the moment. I didn't want to stop, that kiss was so controlling that I almost forgot whose air I was breathing.I hadn't kissed anyone since Nicholas, and I never imagined the sparks igniting again without him.I jerked back, my face flushing as I strode to grab my phone from my bag. Damon exhaled heavily, his jaw tightening. The look in his eyes grew dark as he pressed on his lips. “Sorry,” I mumbled, glancing at the screen. It was my assistant, Rose. “It's fine,” Damon murmured, stepping back, but his gaze lingered on me as he rubbed his hair. I answered the call, managing to balance my breath. “Yes, Rose?”“Ma'am, your stepmother is here at the company,” Rose's voice came out with tension. “She's causing a scene and demanding access to the family account. We can't handle her.”My stepmother was at it again. I closed my eyes briefly and said through gritted

Kiara's POVI froze when I heard my name. “Kiara, Please wait!” His voice echoed through the hall as his footsteps quickly approached. I stood still, my fist clenched, as pain crept through me. Slowly, I turned to face him. Every nerve in my body was writhing in pain. His eyes were filled with sorrow and disbelief. “Damon, give us a moment,” I said without looking at him. Damon hesitated, giving me a look before stepping back, just far enough to give us space but still close enough to step in if needed. Nicholas didn't wait. He closed the distance between us, towering over me. The same Nicholas who used to shout at me, who made me cry, now stood here, shuddering in front of me. I stole a glance at the few people passing by us and I said, “Yes, Mr. Chavez?” My voice was cold. Very cold. I remembered everything in a flash. The day we got married, the day we moved into his new estate, the day our lovely marriage started to fall apart. I had predicted that he had been seeing someo
Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge 9: Fame and fury
Kiara’s POV The sound of the plane's engines faded into a low hum as we touched down in Florida. My heart tightened with every passing second. It had been three years since I last set foot here, three years since I walked away from a crumbling marriage and a version of myself I barely recognized. Today, I was Kiara Abernathy, CEO of a successful global finance company based in London. I was no longer the timid woman Nicholas married. I came back better, stronger, and with a man that knew my worth. Beside me, Damon reached for my hand, his touch grounding me as I tried to calm the storm raging in my chest. His thumb brushed over my knuckles, and I stole a glance at him. “It'll be fine.” He murmured, his voice as calm as the warmth in his eyes. I nodded, catching a breath. As we exited the plane, the sun kissed my skin, everything felt new and different. I adjusted my tailored white blazer and smoothed the matching trousers that hugged my figure. My heels clicked
