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

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 126: Uncovering The Truth 

    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 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 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

  • 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 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 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 140: The fight

    Alex’s sudden presence shifted the entire atmosphere in the warehouse. The men holding me hesitated, their grip loosening just slightly. I took the opportunity to yank my wrist free, stepping away from them while keeping my expression composed. Elena crossed her arms and let out a humorless chuckle. “Oh, look who decided to play the knight in shining armor,” she mused, tilting her head as she assessed Alex. “You’re interrupting a very important business matter, Alex. It doesn’t concern you.” Alex smirked, completely unfazed by her words. His dark eyes locked onto her with a dangerous glint. “It concerns me when my wife is being forced to do something against her will.” He stepped further into the room, his presence alone making the men visibly tense. Julian, standing by the desk with his arms crossed, let out a sigh. “Gina should’ve known better than to go against us,” he said, shaking his head. “This is what happens when you betray your own family.” I scoffed. “Family? You al

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 139: Threats

    Gina's POV By the time I left the house and arrived at the office, the weight of the upcoming meeting with Elena sat heavily on my mind. I had spent the morning handling reports and checking in with my staff, but no matter how busy I kept myself, my thoughts kept drifting back to what could happen later today. Elena had made it clear that she wasn’t pleased with my decisions. She had probably expected me to be her obedient pawn forever, bending to her threats and following orders like a puppet. She underestimated me. And now, she was desperate. A knock at my office door pulled me from my thoughts. "Come in," I called. Jenna entered, holding a neatly organized folder. "These are the latest financial reports for Saxton Luxury Homes." I nodded, taking the folder. "Anything I should be concerned about?" Jenna hesitated. "Well… Lily's management before her termination caused a few internal conflicts. Some of the employees are still adjusting to the change." I sighed, r

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 138: Preparation

    Gina’s POVThe moment my phone rang, I had a feeling it was her. Elena. I hesitated for a second before answering, already bracing myself for whatever tantrum she was about to throw. "Are you out of your damn mind, Gina?!" she snapped the moment I picked up. I exhaled slowly, keeping the phone away from my ear as she continued her rant. "You went against everything we planned! Terminating the partnership with Julian? Firing Lily? What the hell are you thinking?!" I remained silent, letting her vent. "I trusted you to play your part," she hissed. "Now you’re just making things worse! Do you realize what you've done? Do you understand the consequences—" "Are you finished?" I finally cut in, my tone calm, but cold. There was silence on the other end, as if she wasn’t expecting me to interrupt. "Listen to me, Elena," I continued, standing up from my bed and walking toward the window. "I don’t take orders from you. I never have. And as for the blackmail—" I let out a qu

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 137: Disappointment

    Julian’s POVI walked out of Saxton Empire feeling like I had just been gutted. The cool afternoon breeze did nothing to cool the fire raging inside me. My fists clenched at my sides, my jaw tight as I stalked toward the car where Marcus was waiting. The moment I slid into the passenger seat, Marcus glanced at me through the rearview mirror, sensing the storm I was barely containing. "How did it go?" he asked cautiously. "What was the meeting about?" I didn't answer. I couldn’t. I was too angry. Too humiliated. Marcus glanced at me again, waiting for a response. When I remained silent, he pushed further. "Julian, what—" "Just drive," I snapped, my voice cold and edged with frustration. Marcus swallowed back whatever he was about to say and started the car, knowing better than to press me when I was like this. The drive back to the office was silent except for the hum of the engine and the occasional honk from impatient drivers. My mind was a mess, replaying the moment

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 136

    Gina's POV As I sat in the passenger seat of my sleek Lamborghini truck, watching Mrs. Clara drive through the city streets, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction. Today was about making things right, but it was also about reclaiming my authority. No more bending to blackmail, no more losing control. Mrs. Clara had been quiet for most of the drive, her hands gripping the wheel tightly. I could tell she was anxious about stepping back into Saxton Luxury Homes, but she had nothing to fear. Lily's reign of incompetence and cruelty was over. When we pulled up to the company’s massive glass building, the first thing I noticed was the commotion at the entrance. The main gates were slightly ajar, and a security guard stood with his head bowed, flinching as a shrill voice berated him. Lily. She was standing in front of the poor man, her hands on her hips, her face contorted in rage. "You had one job!" she snapped. "One! And you can't even open the damn gate on time?" The gateman, a

  • 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
