Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 112
Gina’s POVBy noon, I stepped back into my office, my heels clicking against the marble floor as I shut the door behind me. I exhaled sharply, rubbing my temples as I thought about everything Elena had told me to do. The walls of my office suddenly felt like they were closing in on me. No matter how powerful I was, how much control I had, Elena always had a way of making me feel like a pawn in a game I no longer knew the rules of. Sighing, I pulled my phone out of my bag and dialed Alex’s number. It rang twice before he answered. "Gina," his voice was cautious, and I knew why. Our last conversation hadn’t ended well. "I’ve made a decision," I said, keeping my tone firm. "I’m going into a partnership with Julian’s company." There was silence on the line. Then Alex let out a breathy chuckle. "Excuse me? I thought you said that company was barely surviving. That it wasn’t worth your time." "I changed my mind." "Why?" His voice lost its amusement. "Gina, what the hell are you

Gina's POV The soft ticking of the clock was the only sound in my office. I sat behind my glass desk, staring at the documents in front of me, but I wasn’t reading them. My mind was elsewhere, my thoughts circling around one unavoidable fact—Julian was coming. For months, he had been trying to force his way into my company, showing up unannounced, waiting for hours, only to leave when I refused to acknowledge him. He wanted to see me. He wanted to confront me. And now, he had found a way in. I took a slow breath and leaned back in my chair, steeling myself. Julian had always been relentless. He wasn’t the type to walk away easily. That was why I had to be stronger than him. A soft knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. “Come in,” I called. Lisa, my secretary, peeked in. “Ma’am, Mr. Julian is here.” I exhaled through my nose. Right on time. “Send him in.” The door swung open, and Julian stepped inside, exuding the same arrogance he always had. His expensive suit

Gina's POV I yanked at my wrist, but Julian’s grip was like iron. His dark eyes blazed with something raw, something possessive that sent a chill up my spine. "You belong to me," he growled, his fingers tightening around my skin. Rage burned through me, but beneath it, an unsettling flicker of something else—something I refused to name. I had spent years breaking free from Julian’s hold, from the chaos he brought into my life. I *would not* let him drag me back. "Let me go," I seethed, my voice low but full of warning. Julian only smirked. "Say it like you mean it, Gina." Before I could shove him away, the office door swung open. Alex. His presence hit the room like a thunderstorm. His sharp blue eyes locked onto Julian’s hand wrapped around my wrist, then flicked up to my face. His expression darkened, and in that moment, I knew—Julian had just made the biggest mistake of his life. Without hesitation, Alex strode forward, his movements precise, controlled, but crackl

Gina's POV The boardroom was silent as we entered, save for the quiet murmurs and shifting of papers. The long, polished mahogany table stretched across the room, occupied by the board members, all of whom turned their attention toward me. Alex took his seat without a word, his posture stiff, his jaw clenched. Julian, despite the blood he had wiped off his face, still carried that smug arrogance as he sat across from me. I could feel the weight of their stares, the unspoken questions lingering in the air. Without hesitation, I stood, smoothing the nonexistent wrinkles on my blazer before clasping my hands in front of me. My face was carefully composed, revealing nothing of the turmoil churning inside me. “Thank you all for coming,” I began, my voice firm. “I’ll get straight to the point. As of today, we are announcing a new partnership between this company and Julian’s firm.” A ripple of reaction swept through the room—muffled whispers, exchanged glances, the sound of a chair

Gina's POVI barely noticed when I stepped through the front door. My mind was a haze, my body heavy with exhaustion. The weight of the day pressed down on me like an anchor, pulling me deeper into despair. My hand trembled as I dropped my purse onto the console table with a dull thud. I stood there for a moment, staring at nothing, trying to steady my breath. “Madam, you’re home,” Lana’s voice cut through the silence, soft and cautious. I turned my head slightly, meeting her worried gaze. “How was the meeting, Madam?” she asked. Something inside me cracked. My throat burned as I tried to swallow the lump forming there. I opened my mouth to speak, but the words caught in my throat. Lana stepped closer. “Madam, are you alright?” A bitter laugh slipped past my lips. Alright? I was anything but alright. “No, Lana… I’m not,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. Her brows furrowed in concern. “What happened?” I shook my head, my vision blurring as hot tears welled

Gina's POV I pressed the button at my headboard to summon Lana in. In two minutes, she knocked and stepped in gingerly.“You sent for me. Do you need anything?” She asked.“Please sit,” I tapped on the edge of the bed for her to sit. I rubbed my temples in utter tiredness.“I've been worried about this whole situation. I can't let Elena do something stupid. At the same time, I can't stand by and watch her destroy what I've built. This isn't what I envisaged. At all…” I started, trailing off as soon my voice got shaky.Lana took my hands in hers, giving it a little squeeze as she smiled.“Don't get all worked up. Everything will be fine in the end. Elena may think she has won, but she is just digging her own grave.” Lana assured.As vague as it sounded, it gave me some kind of relief. Everything would be fine in the end. All I have to do, is wait.I heaved a deep sigh of relief, “help my and draw my bath. I need to have dinner with Alex. He has been worried about me. I can't let him b

Gina's POV Morning came too quickly. As I sat before my vanity, brushing through my dark, sleek hair, my mind kept returning to the message Elena had sent me last night. *The usual spot. 6 PM.* Simple words, yet they carried a weight I couldn’t ignore. Elena never called for casual meetings. This was about business, and when it came to her, business always meant trouble. I glanced over my shoulder at Alex, still fast asleep, his chest rising and falling steadily. He had no idea what I was up to, and I intended to keep it that way. If he knew, he’d try to stop me, just like he always did. But Alex didn’t understand—power wasn’t given; it was taken. And I wasn’t about to let anyone stand in my way, least of all my own husband. Pushing my thoughts aside, I adjusted the cuffs of my blazer and grabbed my purse. I slipped out of the house without a sound, leaving before Alex could wake up and ask questions I didn’t want to answer. --- By the time I reached my office, the buil

Gina's POV The evening was windy and the howl of the wind sent shivers down my spine. The quietness of the area gave me an eerie feeling which I couldn't shake away. Stepping out of my car, I left my bag and stuff inside, holding out only my car keys. I walked gingerly to the entrance, having this hunch that I was being watched. I glanced over my shoulders severally but no one was in sight. Elena had better be quick about whatever she has to say so that I can leave this strange place.The hall were I saw Elena the last time was empty unlike the last time. “Elena, I'm here now,” I voiced out but my voice echoed back, informing me that I was the only one here.Well, look who said I shouldn't be late.I leaned against the wall, thankful for the flat shoes I wore today. It would have been a worse situation if I wore heels. I called her line to be sure she was going to come but the line went straight to voicemail.I tried to occupy my mind with diverse things just so that time would pa

Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 162: Hidden Passage
Gina's POV The morning sun spilled through the sheer curtains, casting golden streaks across the soft sheets. I stirred, my body still tingling from last night’s passion, my heart swelling with a sense of fulfillment I never thought possible. Alex was still asleep, one arm draped possessively over my waist, his bare chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm.I turned slightly to look at him. Even in sleep, he looked so peaceful—so *mine*. A small smile curved on my lips, and I carefully eased out of bed, not wanting to wake him. The cool air kissed my skin as I wrapped a silk robe around myself and padded across the room.The house was quiet, still wrapped in the serenity of morning. I made my way to the kitchen to fix a cup of tea. As I sipped it slowly, I couldn’t help but glance out the window. The estate was even more beautiful in the morning light. Birds flitted across the treetops, and the ocean glimmered in the distance, like a sheet of liquid glass.After finishing my tea,
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 161
Gina's POV It had been two days since we arrived at the estate, and I still woke up every morning feeling like I was living in a dream. The peace out here was different—softer, deeper. No emails to answer, no buzzing phones, no looming responsibilities. Just me, Alex, and the gentle lull of the sea beyond our window.That evening, golden sunlight poured through the wide kitchen windows, casting a warm amber glow across the polished marble counters. Alex stood next to me in an apron, his sleeves rolled up and a playful grin on his face as he tried to chop vegetables without losing a finger.“Careful,” I giggled, stepping closer and nudging his elbow. “That carrot’s not going to slice itself.”“Hey,” he protested with mock offense, “I’m improving.”“Oh really?” I raised an eyebrow. “Last night you burned the garlic bread.”“That was the oven’s fault,” he said, feigning innocence, then leaned in to kiss my cheek. “But I must say, cooking with my beautiful wife makes me a much better che
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 160: A night to remember!
Gina's POV I couldn’t stop hugging Alex. Over and over again, I threw my arms around his neck, pressing myself against him as if I could somehow merge our souls together. My heart swelled with so much love and happiness that I thought I might burst. “I can’t believe this,” I whispered against his chest, inhaling his scent—warm, musky, and familiar. “I just… I never thought we’d get here.” Alex pulled back slightly, his hands cupping my face. His thumb traced the corner of my lips, and his deep blue eyes shimmered with affection. “Believe it, Gina. Because from now on, we’re together—*truly* together.” A fresh wave of emotion washed over me, but before I could say anything, Alex suddenly grinned. “We need to celebrate.” I raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t we already?” He chuckled, stepping away to retrieve a sleek black case from a nearby table. When he turned back around, he held up a bottle of champagne, its golden liquid glistening under the soft candlelight. I gasped. “You
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 159: Love Rekindled
Gina's POV The drive to the estate was nothing short of magical. With the countryside stretching out before us, golden fields bathed in sunlight and rolling hills fading into the horizon, I felt a sense of peace I hadn’t experienced in a long time. Alex had one hand on the wheel, his other hand reaching over to gently intertwine his fingers with mine. Every so often, he would glance at me, his eyes twinkling with mischief as he cracked one joke after another. I couldn’t stop laughing. “Okay, okay, stop! My cheeks are hurting,” I giggled, swatting at his arm playfully. “You love my jokes,” he smirked. I rolled my eyes but couldn’t deny it. He had a way of making me laugh so effortlessly, even when I least expected it. As the radio played a soft tune, Alex suddenly turned up the volume and grinned at me. “Come on, let’s sing!” I raised an eyebrow. “You *know* I can’t sing.” “That’s the fun part!” he teased. And just like that, we both burst into song, completely out o
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 158: A romantic escape
Gina's POV The next afternoon, as I sat in the living room, sipping tea and flipping through a book, Alex walked in with a mischievous smile. "We’re leaving tomorrow," he announced. I raised a brow, setting my book aside. "Leaving? Where to?" "The estate," he said, walking over to sit beside me. He took my hand in his, gently rubbing circles against my palm. "I figured we could spend some time there alone, just the two of us. Consider it a romantic getaway." A rush of excitement flooded through me. I hadn’t even stepped foot in my grandfather’s estate yet, and now, Alex wanted to take me there for a whole week? "A vacation?" I beamed. He nodded. "Just you and me." I nearly squealed, throwing my arms around him. "That sounds amazing!" His deep chuckle vibrated against my chest as he hugged me back. As soon as I pulled away, I called for Lana. "We have to start packing!" ### **Packing for the Trip** Lana followed me upstairs, and as soon as we reached my room, I s
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 157: An estate
Gina's POV Ever since I returned from the hospital, Alex had been treating me like a delicate piece of glass. He barely let me lift a finger, always making sure I had everything I needed before I could even ask. At first, I appreciated his attentiveness, but after a while, it started to feel overwhelming. "Alex, I can do it myself," I protested one morning when he tried to help me put on my slippers. He ignored my complaint, slipping them onto my feet with ease. "You’re pregnant, Gina. You shouldn’t have to worry about anything." I rolled my eyes. "I’m not an invalid. I can still function, you know." He smirked but didn’t argue, simply brushing a kiss against my forehead before heading to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. This had been my life for the past few weeks—Alex doting on me as if I were royalty. I won’t lie; it felt good to be cared for, to be loved in a way I had never truly experienced before. But at the same time, it terrified me. Was he doing this because he
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 156: Reassurance
Gina's POV The air inside the car felt heavy as Alex and I rode home from the hospital. My hands rested gently over my stomach, still trying to grasp the reality of the life growing inside me. I should have been happy. This was supposed to be a moment of joy, of hope. Yet, deep inside, I felt something else—something dark, uncertain. The doctor had given me strict instructions—what to eat, what to avoid, when to come in for checkups. She had been reassuring, telling me that everything looked fine, that I was healthy. But none of it eased the fear that gnawed at my chest. Alex glanced at me as he drove. “You’ve been quiet,” he noted softly. I forced a small smile. “Just tired.” He reached for my hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “We’ll get through this together.” I nodded but said nothing. When we arrived home, Lana was already waiting for us. Her eyes lit up with excitement as she rushed toward me. “Oh my God, Gina! I just heard!” she exclaimed, pulling me into a hug. “
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 155: A new Beginning
Gina's POV As Alex and I stepped out of the courthouse, the blinding flashes of cameras assaulted my eyes. The air buzzed with urgency as reporters pushed microphones in our faces, bombarding us with an endless stream of questions. “Miss Saxton, how do you feel about the verdict?” “Do you think justice was truly served today?” “What are your plans for Julian’s company now that it’s been shut down?” "How do you feel about your family members being imprisoned?""What was your reaction when you found out that your sister was with your husband?"Their voices blurred together, a chaotic mixture of curiosity, speculation, and sensationalism. I kept my face expressionless, my lips pressed into a firm line as I walked forward. I had no interest in feeding the media frenzy. Alex, ever the protective force beside me, placed a firm hand on my lower back, guiding me through the throng of reporters. He shot a glare at one particularly aggressive journalist who tried to block our path.
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 154: Court Sessions
Gina's POV Today was the day. I had waited for this moment for so long that it almost felt surreal. As I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind replayed everything that had led up to this. The betrayals, the suffering, the fight for justice—it all came down to this one day. But before I could dwell too much on it, a wave of nausea hit me suddenly and violently. My stomach churned, and I barely had time to rush to the bathroom before I was kneeling over the toilet, vomiting. I gripped the sink afterward, breathing heavily as I wiped my mouth. What was that? I wasn’t sick. I wasn’t even nervous, not really. So why did my body react like this? A soft knock on the bathroom door made me turn. Lana, my personal assistant, peeked in, her face etched with concern. “Gina? Are you okay?” she asked, stepping closer. I forced a small smile. “I’m fine. Probably just the stress.” Lana didn’t look convinced, but she didn’t push further. Instead, she helped me freshen up befor
