Alex's POV

The floor creaked beneath my feet as I paced back and forth, frustration settling in my bones like a sickness. Something was off with Gina, and I was done ignoring it. She had been more secretive than usual, whispering into her phone when she thought I wasn’t around, locking her study door, and coming home at odd hours with an expression that was both triumphant and guarded.

I had tried asking her directly, but Gina was nothing if not calculated. She never gave away more than she wanted to. If I was going to get to the bottom of whatever she was up to, I had to take another route.

That was why I had called for Lana, Gina’s personal maid. If anyone knew what was going on, it would be her.

A knock sounded at the door.

“Come in,” I called, my voice even despite the tension in my chest.

Lana stepped inside cautiously, her hands clasped in front of her. She was a slim woman in her early forties, sharp-eyed but always nervous when it came to situations like this. She k

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 125: A Dangerous Game 

    Gina's POV The night air was thick with tension as I drove home, my fingers drumming against the steering wheel in thought. Jenna had given me just enough information to confirm what I already suspected—Gina was up to something, and it wasn’t good. But I needed more than vague hints and half-truths. I needed the full story, and Gina has refused vehemently to say a word about it, no matter how long I pressed.Well, Gina refused to talk willingly, I’d have to make her talk another way. Then an idea struck me.Alcohol had always been Gina’s weakness. She wasn’t a heavy drinker, but when she did indulge, her lips loosened. If I could get her drunk enough, she’d slip up, and I’d finally hear the truth from her own mouth. The problem was finding the right drink at this hour. It was well past midnight, and most places were closed. As I drove through the dimly lit streets, my eyes darted between buildings, searching for any open shops. A few blocks later, I spotted a convenience store w

    Alex's POV “Gina, what do you mean? Julian divorced you, why would you be meeting him?” I asked.My question was followed by a long, annoying silence. Gina was beginning to drift off to sleep, I can't allow her to sleep when I've not gotten the answers I need.“Gina! Talk to me.” I tapped her knee with urgency which made her shudder.“Mhmmm…It's Elena. You…can't…must not understand.” she stuttered “Elena?” I asked, coming closer because her voice was beginning to drop.“Elena…blackmailed me…threatened.” She said, muttering some incoherent words.“But Elena was just an ordinary housemaid, she left yo take care of her sick mother, right?” I asked.Gina scoffed at my statement,”She's not ordinary, you know nothing. Just…stay…awayyyy.” She stammered before her eyes closed shut.Gina’s head slumped to the side, her breath slowing into the steady rhythm of deep sleep. My jaw clenched as I stared at her, frustration clawing at me. She had finally given me something—Elena. I had been rack

  • 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

    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 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 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

    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

    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 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 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 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

    Gina's POV #Gina's Triumph The night was ours. After months of battles, betrayals, and carefully orchestrated revenge, Alex and I finally had the victory we deserved. As we drove home, the cool night breeze drifted through the car windows, carrying with it the scent of the city—fresh rain on asphalt, the distant aroma of food vendors closing shop, and the faint trace of the ocean in the distance. I let my head rest against the window, a slow smirk playing on my lips as I replayed the look of horror on Julian, Lily, Monica, and Antoinette’s faces when the police took them away. Justice. Finally. Alex reached over and placed a hand on my thigh, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “You did it, Gina,” he murmured. “You got your revenge.” I turned to face him, my heart swelling with gratitude. “*We* did it.” He chuckled. “Damn right we did. Now let’s celebrate.” Stopping by a liquor store, we grabbed several bottles of expensive wine and whiskey. Tonight wasn’t about drinking in

Yeah, call me wicked, but I love having my revengeAfterall, everyone gets what they deserve.The evening air was thick with the promise of a storm, but I felt nothing but satisfaction as I pulled up in front of the police station. The street lights flickered above, casting elongated shadows as I stepped out of my car and walked toward the entrance. My heels clicked against the pavement, the sound sharp and unwavering—just like my resolve. Inside, the station bustled with activity. Officers moved from desk to desk, filing reports, answering calls, and booking criminals. The scent of stale coffee and ink filled the air, but I ignored it, heading straight to the front desk where a tired-looking officer sat, skimming through some documents. He looked up, his gaze assessing. “How can I help you?” “I’d like to press charges,” I said, my voice firm. His brow l
