Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 116
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.

Gina's POV I clenched my fists under the table, my nails digging into my palms as Elena's voice echoed in my head. **“You’ll employ Lily in one of your companies. No objections, Gina.”** My lips had parted to protest, but Elena’s narrowed gaze cut me off. She tilted her head, her tone dripping with false patience. **“If you don’t, I’ll deal with Alex.”** My heart had stopped at those words. “Don’t you dare involve Alex in your blackmailing scheme,” I’d hissed, my voice trembling with suppressed rage. Elena only smirked, taking slow, deliberate steps toward me. “Then do as I say.” She turned, walking away with her henchmen, her expensive heels clicking against the marble floor. “You have a day to think about it.” And just like that, she was gone, leaving me standing alone in the empty building. I felt sick. I had fought Elena’s control for as long as I could, but she was relentless. She knew exactly where to strike to break me down. And now, she was using Alex. My husban

Gina's POV I screamed, my voice echoing off the lavish walls of our mansion. "Help! Someone, please!" Panic set in as I clutched my abdomen, waves of agony washing over me.An hour after taking the cup of coffee which my maid, Rachel, had brought me, a searing pain tore through my lower belly, leaving me breathless. I stumbled out of bed, my vision blurring.As my feet touched the floor, I felt a strange slickness between my thighs.No, no, no. This can't be happening.I was only two months pregnant, and the thought of losing my baby was unbearable. Fear gripped me as I felt the warm liquid trickling down my thighs. Blood. Oh God, I'm bleeding.“Is anyone there? Lana! Help me!” I screamed at the top of my voice.Lana burst into my room, followed by other servants. "Ma'am, what's wrong?" she cried, alarm etched on her face."I...I think I'm losing the baby, I don't know. I'm…in pains.” I stammered, tears streaming down my face.The steward, James, sprang into action, quickly putting m

Gina's POVJulian's eyes locked onto mine, his expression a mix of shock, guilt, shame, and indifference. The woman's face turned toward me, her lips still locked on Julian's.Lily.My stepsister.His hands were wrapped around Lily's waist, his fingers digging into her skin.I felt like I'd been punched in the gut, unable to breathe. The air was sucked out of the room, leaving only a suffocating silence.Lily's gaze sparkled with malice, her smile twisting into a cruel grin. Julian's face contorted, guilt and shame mixing with defiance.My eyes burned, tears welling up, but I couldn't look away. My husband and my stepsister.Together.My world crumbled, shattered by the betrayal.“Alex, why? What did I do to deserve this?” I asked with ashaky voice, refusing to allow the tears drop.“Enough of the drama! I'm sick and tired of this charade. Julian has always been mine from the beginning. You were used just for the mean time and that time has expired.” Lily sneered.I stared at them in

Gina's POVI stepped into Grandpa Wilson's chambers, and his warm smile enveloped me. Six years had passed since I'd last seen him, but the sparkle in his eyes remained unchanged."Gina, my dear," he said, opening his arms.I rushed into his embrace, feeling a mix of joy and sadness. He was looking so frail; his once-strong shoulders now stooped, and his skin was pale and thin. I noticed the subtle signs of illness and age etched on his face. His movements were slower, his voice weaker."Grandpa," I whispered, tears pricking at the corners of my eyes.He held me at arm's length, examining my face. "You've grown more beautiful, Gina. But I see shadows under your eyes. What troubles you, child?"I took a deep breath, hesitant to burden him with my troubles. But something in his gaze reassured me."Julian and I...we're divorced," I said, the words still feeling foreign.His expression turned stern, but his eyes softened. "I'll deal with him. You're safe now."The familiar scent of old bo

Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 115: The price to pay
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 Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 114
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 Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 113
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 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
