Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 11: Emotions
Gina's POVSo, after my divorce with Julian, he had the guts to marry my step sister.A knock on the door shook me out of my reverie.“Sweetie, are you alright? You've been in there for quite a while now.” It was Alex.“Yeah, I'm good. I'll join you in a minute.” After cleaning up, I joined them back in the meeting room.“Jenna, I won't be able to meet with that man today, reschedule it for next month. That's when I'll meet with him.” I instructed and I noticed the stares and shifts.“Alright Ma'am. I'll inform him right away.”“Next month? Don't you think it's too far, Ma'am? ” Mr. Thompson asked curiously.“It's not. I have several engagements for the rest of the month.” “This person could be a prospective buyer of our company shares, or maybe he might want to be part of our company funding.” Mr. Thompson protested.“Are we running short of funds?” I asked, turning my gaze to him.“No, we aren't. But then…” “That will be all for now. I don't feel too well. Our meeting is reschedu

Gina's POVI went back to my room feeling a mixture of nervousness and excitement. Today was my first day at Alex's company, and I was eager to make a good impression.As I was finishing up my hair, Alex walked into the room, looking dashing in his tailored suit. "You look stunning, Gina," he said, giving my a kiss on the cheek. "I'm so proud to have you by my side today."I blushed, feeling a flutter in my chest. I was still getting used to the idea of being Alex's wife, but I had to admit, it felt nice to have him by my side. Even though our romantic gestures are not actually real.We headed to the garage, where our driver, James, was waiting for us in the black Range Rover Sport. Alex opened the door for me, and I slid into the passenger seat. Alex got in beside me, and James greeted us with a smile."Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood," he said, eyeing my outfit. "You both look lovely today."I smiled, feeling a sense of pride. I was still getting used to being referred to as

Gina's POV Immediately, they dragged Toni out of the room. I could see the look of fear on their faces, at least they won't disobey me.After the noise had calmed down, I unlocked the door to the restroom and Alex stood right in front of me, wearing a very serious frown.“Frown all you want.” I said, walking away.“You locked me inside, Regina.”“Yes.”“Why?” He seethed.“Because I wanted to handle this by myself. Which I did. You have nothing to worry about.” I said with my ever calm voice.“Who was that?”“You have nothing to worry about.” I said again, nonchalantly, rolling my eyes.Alex charged at me, grabbing my wrist fiercely.“If you make me ask one more question, you'll regret it, Regina.” He growled.“You're hurting me, Alex. I could sue you for this. Let go of my hand…now.” I said, making emphasis on the last word.He released my wrist, still glaring into my eyes and I maintained the eye contact.“You think you've become powerful now, just because you're an heiress, right?”

Alex's POV“That's absurd, Gina. You can't decide that. I can't even decide that. This marriage is happening whether we like it or not. Nobody is changing the terms.” I protested.“So you think that I'm gonna put up with your stinky attitudes and flirting just because this is an arranged marriage?” “Yes. You will do just that. You know why? It's because you don't even have a choice. Now, leave my room.” I finalized.She glared at me one last time before storming out of the room.Fancy this woman trying to control me. No one tells me what to do. I'll do whatever I want, when I deem it fit.****For the next few days after our last argument, I barely saw Gina at the house. She'd leave for work as early as possible and return in the evening, only to lock herself in her room.We met few times in the dining room or at the garage, where we would whisper greetings and walk pass. We haven't made any public appearance since then, which is relieving.I was getting ready to go to work when Ton

Alex's POV “Yeah, she found out recently. A lot has happened actually. It's just overwhelming sometimes. She even asked me to call it quits with Toni.” I explained.“Woah. It means she is obviously feeling something for you then. Women tend to get jealous when they like someone.” Jude added.“Far from that. She said it was for the sake of her company. Gina is a hard nut to crack. I've been trying to talk to her ever since.”“Think of the best way to resolve this. Remember the saying ‘chase two girls, loose the one’. I'm sure you don't wish to loose Gina. You know what her presence is doing for you.” Dave advised.“That's exactly why I'm confused. After our marriage, my work has been going so well. Several companies have been showing interest in partnering with me, all because I'm connected to Saxton Empire…”“Then enjoy this moment. Savour it, while it lasts. The marriage is for two years, yeah? Make the most of it. That's my advice for you.” Dave concluded.“And you know that she ju

Alex's POV “You sure you want me to stay?” I asked, to confirm that my ears weren't deceiving me.“Yeah, lie down.” She said, tapping on the space beside her.I laid on the bed and slid under the covers with her, making sure she was warm.I pulled her closer to me and kept head on chest as we drifted off to sleep.*****The first streaks of sunlight stirred me to consciousness. I sat up, leaning on the headrest as I watched Gina in her sleep. She was indeed a beauty to behold. Her eyes flickered open drowsily as she yawned and stretched. “Good morning, Princess.” But her facial expression turned sour immediately.“What are you doing here? Did you take advantage of me last night? Is that why you woke up feeling so happy and good?” She questioned, moving to the side thereby creating a distance between the both of us.“What are you talking about? Take advantage of you? I'd never do that, Gina.” I swore.“Then what are you doing here? On my bed? Right next to me?” She asked eyeing the

Gina's POVThree days later…I hurried to the company event centre to see how everything was going. I was hosting the first charity gala since I took over the company.I stood in the grand ballroom, surveying the space with a critical eye. The charity gala was this evening, and I was determined to make it the most talked-about event of the season. As the new CEO of Saxton Empire, I knew that this gala was an opportunity to showcase our company's commitment to philanthropy and community involvement. But I also wanted to make a statement – to prove that I was a force to be reckoned with in the business world.I turned to my event planner, a harried-looking woman named Sarah. "I want this gala to be unforgettable," I told her. "I want people to be talking about it for months to come."Sarah nodded, scribbling notes on her clipboard. "I understand, Mrs. Saxton. We're going to make sure that every detail is perfect. From the décor to the entertainment to the food and drink, we're going

Alex's POVAfter the night's event, we were both famished so we just bade farewells and went to our separate rooms. But then, sleep eluded me. The thought of Toni and Gina filled my head. I can't dispense Toni, at least not yet. At the same time, I can't afford to lose Regina. How do I sort out this issue?“Alex, chase two girls, loose the one.” I ran my hands through my hair in frustration.Toni had been so upset and hurt after what happened the last time and I haven't made time to go and see her.Toni will have to wait. I must win Gina's heart by all means if not I'll appear as a failed man before Jude and the rest of my friends.I must get this done. With a firm resolve, I stepped outside my room to find Lana. I saw her in the hallway, about to retire to her room.“Lana, can I speak with you for a moment?”“Of course, Sir. Let me drop these clothes inside.”“I'll be waiting inside my room.” I walked away briskly back to my room.Two minutes later, there was a soft knock on the

Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 135: Reinstatement
Gina's POV After Alex left, I leaned back in my chair, exhaling in relief. Things were finally falling into place. Julian was humiliated, the partnership deal was dissolved, and I had the full support of my husband. For the first time in a long while, I felt completely in control. But just as I was about to pour myself a celebratory glass of wine, an unsettling thought crept into my mind. My satisfaction dimmed as I remembered one of the biggest mistakes I had made under Elena’s blackmail—firing Mrs. Clara, the efficient managing director of Saxton Luxury Homes, and replacing her with Lily. Mrs. Clara had been nothing but loyal to Saxton Empire for years, overseeing major projects and ensuring everything ran smoothly. She was a force in the real estate industry, well-respected and incredibly competent. Yet, because of Elena’s threats, I had discarded her without a second thought, humiliating her in the process. I clenched my jaw, disgusted at how far I had let Elena control me.
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 134: A blow
Gina's POV As I walked out of my office, leaving Julian standing there in shock, I didn’t spare him another glance. I had more important things to do. “Jenna,” I called, striding toward the hallway. “Yes, ma’am.” She hurried to my side, holding a stack of documents. “Bring the files and start heading to the boardroom,” I instructed. “We don’t have time to waste.” She nodded quickly and followed behind me. Bruno and eight of my personal security men moved ahead, their presence commanding and intimidating as they cleared the path. Every step I took echoed with power, and I reveled in it. As we climbed the stairs to the boardroom, employees moved out of the way, their heads bowed slightly in respect. I was Gina Saxton—CEO of Saxton Empire. And today, I was putting an end to Julian Brookes once and for all. By the time we reached the boardroom, most of the board members were already seated, waiting. The tension in the room was palpable. At exactly 2 p.m., Mr. Thomps
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 133: The Tables Are Turning
Elena’s POVThe moment Julian’s call ended, I felt my blood boil. Alex was interfering. After everything I did to secure this deal—after all the strings I pulled, the threats I made—he thought he could just waltz in and ruin it? Not on my watch. I paced my room, gripping my phone so tightly my knuckles turned white. Julian had sounded furious, and rightfully so. If Gina actually canceled the partnership, everything we worked for would go down the drain. I wasn’t about to let that happen. Without hesitation, I scrolled through my contacts and pressed Gina’s number. The phone rang once. Twice. Then, she picked up. “Elena,” Gina’s voice came through, cold and sharp. “We need to talk,” I snapped, wasting no time. “I just got a call from Julian. What the hell do you think you’re doing?” A pause. Then, a slow, amused exhale. “I assume you’re calling about the partnership deal?” she said, her voice annoyingly calm. “You know damn well why I’m calling.” I gritted my
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 132: A New Threat
Julian's POV The taste of victory still lingered on my tongue as I leaned back on the couch, swirling the remnants of wine in my glass. The night had been perfect—a new car, a thriving business, and Lily in my arms, celebrating our success. Everything was falling into place. Lily had gone to bed an hour ago, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I stretched lazily, feeling the warmth of the alcohol settle into my veins. Life was finally looking up. Just as I was about to stand and head to bed, my phone vibrated against the glass coffee table. I frowned. It was an unknown number. At this hour? My instincts prickled with unease, but I picked up anyway. "Julian Windsor," I answered smoothly, bringing the phone to my ear. There was a pause. Then, a deep, composed voice spoke. "Julian, it’s Alex." I stiffened. Alex? Gina’s husband? What the hell was he calling me for? "Alex," I said coolly. "What a surprise. To what do I owe the pleasure?" "I figured I should be the o
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 131: The Taste of 'Supposed' Victory
Julian’s POVThe past week had been nothing short of *amazing*. For months, my company had been struggling to stay afloat, suffocating under debts and failed deals. But now? Everything had turned around, *all thanks to Elena’s blackmail.* I had signed the partnership deal with Gina’s company just in time, and since then, *doors had opened*. Funding poured in from multiple organizations, investors suddenly saw potential in my company, and the name "Windsor Enterprises" was beginning to be recognized by bigger firms. For the first time in *forever*, I felt like I was finally winning. I sat in my office, leaning back in my chair, staring at the document in front of me—a *new* contract, a *bigger* deal. "$15 million," I muttered under my breath, running my fingers over the thick paper. My company had just sealed an agreement with another major firm, an opportunity that would solidify our growth. A grin spread across my face as I picked up my pen and signed my name at the bot
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 130: A New Beginning
Gina's POV After spending the morning with Alex, I felt something I hadn’t in a long time—peace. For the first time in what felt like *forever*, I wasn’t carrying the crushing weight of my secrets alone. I had Alex by my side. The thought alone was enough to make my steps lighter, my heart less burdened. I arrived at the office feeling… different. There was no tension in my shoulders, no anger simmering beneath the surface. Instead, I felt—dare I say it—*happy*. As soon as I stepped into the sleek, glass-walled building of Saxton Empire, I caught sight of Jenna, my secretary, sorting through a pile of documents on her desk. Normally, I would have walked past her without a second glance, too consumed by my own stress to acknowledge her. But today, something made me pause. "Good morning, Jenna," I greeted with a small smile. Jenna’s head snapped up so fast that I almost laughed. Her brown eyes widened in shock, as if she had just seen a ghost. "Uh… g-good morning, ma’am," s
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 129: Fuck Me, Alex!
Gina's POV I rested my head on Alex's chest and remained there for a long time; oblivious of how time passed by. It felt like ages since I last felt this peaceful. It seemed like a breath that I could finally breathe and relax.I had no idea how we would tackle Elena without triggering her anger, but I believe in Alex. He said he would support me all the way, and I know he would.Finally, I lifted my head and looked into his dark eyes, “Babe, Thank you.” “For what exactly?” He asked.“Everything. For not flaring up like I expected. For accepting me as I am.” I said, my voice shaky and tears stinging at my eyelids.“You're welcome. Now, we can put the past behind us and look forward to a greater future.” He drew me closer and pecked my hair.I broke down into light sobs when the feeling became so overwhelming. How could he forgive me so easily? He doesn't even hate me…Even after finding out the truth.“Shush, Baby. It's alright now.” He wiped the tears at the corners of my eyes and b
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 128: Rebuilding Trust
Gina's POV The moment Alex left, the weight of everything crashed down on me. My legs gave out, and I sank to the floor, my chest heaving as sobs wracked my body. The strong, composed Gina—the one who always had a plan, always had control—was gone. In her place was someone broken, desperate, and drowning in her own mistakes. Tears spilled freely down my cheeks as my mind replayed everything that had led me here. Julian's betrayal.It had all started with that. Then Elena's blackmail She had cornered me, forced my hand, threatened to expose secrets that could ruin me. And in my desperation to keep her silent, I had dug myself deeper and deeper into a pit I couldn’t escape. I had been so consumed with protecting myself, so blinded by my need for control, that I hadn’t realized just how much I was losing. And now, Alex—my husband, my only true ally—was slipping through my fingers too. I wrapped my arms around myself, rocking slightly as my sobs quieted into soft gasps. I ha
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 127: Confrontation
Gina's POV My head throbbed as I sat up in bed, groaning at the sharp pain shooting through my skull. The morning light was too bright, making my nausea worse. I rubbed my temples, trying to piece together the events of last night. I remembered Alex walking into my room, inviting me to drink with him. At first, it had seemed like a simple offer, a way to unwind, but now, I wasn’t so sure. I swallowed hard, my throat dry and scratchy. Something about last night felt off. The way Alex had looked at me. The way he had steered our conversation. My stomach twisted as realization dawned—he had gotten me drunk on purpose. He had wanted me to talk. My breath hitched. What exactly had I told him? Panic surged through me as I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood, dizziness making me stagger. I had to find him. Now. I checked his room first, my heart pounding as I pushed open the door. Empty. The bed was neatly made, as if he hadn’t even slept there. My pulse quickened. Alex
