Gina's POV

After Lana left, I couldn't sleep. I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind racing with thoughts I couldn't control. Every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was blood. The gunfire, the struggle, the way Elena had almost shot Alex—it all replayed in my head like a nightmare I couldn't escape. My breathing grew unsteady as panic crept in, tightening its grip on my chest.

I couldn't stay in bed any longer. Throwing off the covers, I got up and left my room, making my way downstairs. The house was silent, eerily so, and the dim lights in the living room cast long shadows across the walls. I turned on the television, hoping for a distraction, but nothing on the screen could hold my attention. My mind kept dragging me back to the past, to the series of tragedies that had brought me to this moment.

It all started last year. The downward spiral of my life began when I lost my baby. I had been poisoned—by Lily, of all people. The moment I found out, my world shattered.

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 143: Regret and Recovery

    Gina's POV As I left Alex's ward, I heaved a sigh of relief at the thought that he was getting better at least.“Excuse me, where is Elena's ward? Could you please lead me?” I beckoned on the nurse.“Alright. Follow me.” The nurse led me down the quiet hallway, and with each step, my heart pounded harder. When we reached the door, I hesitated for a moment before stepping inside.“There you go, Ma'am.” She said, before heading back.Elena lay motionless on the hospital bed, her face pale, her leg—the one I had shot—heavily bandaged. The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor was the only sound in the sterile room. Seeing her like this sent a sharp wave of regret crashing over me. My fingers clenched at my sides as guilt settled deep in my chest.I had done this to her.A lump formed in my throat, and nausea twisted my stomach. I thought I would feel victorious after stopping her, after proving that I wouldn't be manipulated anymore. But now, looking at her unconscious body, all I felt

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 144: Homecoming 

    Gina's POV Seven days had passed, and I finally felt like myself again. The morning light streamed through the hospital window as I stirred awake, the sterile scent of antiseptic lingering in the air. Just as I opened my eyes fully, Alex and the doctor walked in, their expressions lighter than before.“Good morning, Mrs. Gina. How do you feel today?” The doctor chirped.“Like the best morning of my life. I feel so light and elated.” I said, stretching."Good news, Gina," the doctor said with a small smile. "You're fully recovered and can go home today."A wave of relief washed over me. I had spent the past week confined to this hospital bed, and the thought of returning home felt like a long-awaited freedom. Lana was already busy packing up my things when Alex stepped closer, helping me sit up. Without warning, he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a warm embrace. "I've missed having you at home," he murmured. I leaned into his touch for a brief moment before pulling awa

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 145: Back to work 

    Gina's POV The sun had barely begun to rise when I woke up, stretching lazily as a sense of renewal washed over me. Today was the day I returned to Saxton Empire, and I was more than ready. After days of being confined at home, I was eager to reclaim my authority, to remind everyone that Gina Saxton was back and stronger than ever.As I swung my legs over the bed, a gentle knock came at the door before Lana stepped inside, a bright smile on her face."Good morning, ma’am. How are you feeling today?" she asked, already heading toward the closet to pick out my outfit.I exhaled deeply, rolling my shoulders. "Much better, Lana. Today is going to be a good day. I can feel it. Please prepare my bathwater. I need to get to work on time today.”She nodded approvingly and moved to draw my bath. "Let’s make sure you look the part then. We have to remind everyone exactly who you are."I chuckled, appreciating her enthusiasm. As I sank into the warm bath, I let the water soothe my muscles. The

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 146: Alex meets Toni 

    Gina's POV As the elevator doors slid open, Alex and ystepped out into the executive floor of Saxton Empire. The luxurious, modern interior gleamed under the soft lighting, reflecting my stature and the empire I had built. Employees I passed by nodded respectfully, murmuring, "Welcome back, Madam Gina."I walked with confidence, my heels clicking rhythmically against the polished floor. Alex walked beside me, his presence solid and reassuring. As we approached my office, Jenna hurried ahead and opened the doors, revealing a perfectly maintained space. My desk was tidy, fresh flowers adorned the corner, and a few congratulatory cards from senior employees rested beside my laptop. It was evident that I had been deeply missed.I turned to Jenna, smiling warmly. "Thank you for holding things down while I was gone. I truly appreciate your dedication."Jenna beamed. "Of course, ma’am. Everyone is happy to have you back. It hasn't been the same without you."I nodded and stepped inside, fee

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 147: Revelations 

    Alex's POV “Alex just hold on! I'm not done with this conversation yet. Why have you decided to treat me like a stranger? Forgetting everything we shared?”I turned around, “what else have you got to say?” I clenched my fists as I stared at Toni, my patience wearing thin. She was upset, her voice rising in frustration. "Why are you so smitten by Gina? What does she have that I don’t?" she demanded, crossing her arms over her barely-there dress.I scoffed. "Everything, Toni. She has everything you never did—loyalty, honesty, and a heart that isn’t fueled by selfishness and deceit."Her eyes darkened with fury, and in her frustration, she spat, "You worship her like she's a Queen. Just because you need her company name and wealth. If I had known it would come to this, I should have asked Elena to end her life instead."The room went silent. My heart stopped for a moment as I processed what she had just said. Toni’s eyes widened in horror as she realized her mistake, her hand flying to

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 148: Alex and Julian

    Alex's POV As rage coursed through my veins, I didn’t think—I simply acted. I stormed out of the suite, my fists clenched so tightly that my knuckles turned white. The revelation that Julian was Antoniette’s cousin and had been working with her to harm Gina made my blood boil.I drove recklessly through the city streets, barely registering the honking horns and blaring sirens that followed my aggressive maneuvers. My destination was clear—Julian’s pathetic excuse for a company. The building was a rundown establishment, an insult to the word ‘business.’ He had once been a man of means, but his greed and poor decisions had left him with nothing but a crumbling office and a tattered reputation.Without hesitation, I shoved the glass doors open and stormed inside. The receptionist at the front desk gasped, but I ignored her, heading straight for Julian’s office. A few employees peeked out of their cubicles, startled by my abrupt entrance, but no one dared to stop me. They must have seen

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 149: Julian's regret 

    Julian's POV After Alex stormed out of my office, I sat there, frozen. My jaw ached from his punches, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the storm of emotions raging inside me. Shame, regret, and guilt clawed at my chest, making it hard to breathe.I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling as memories flooded my mind. Memories of Gina. Of how I had treated her when we were married. How I had cheated on her with Lily, her own stepsister, and shattered her heart without a second thought. Even after she suffered a miscarriage—our child, lost forever—I still went ahead and divorced her, as if she were nothing. And now, here I was, plotting her murder like a heartless monster. What kind of man had I become?A bitter laugh escaped my lips. No, I wasn’t a man. I was worse than the devil himself.Before I realized it, tears streamed down my face. I didn't deserve forgiveness. Not from Gina, not from anyone. I buried my face in my hands, shoulders trembling as silent sobs w

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 150: I don't need your apologies 

    Gina's POV It was almost 2pm in my office. I had been busy all day, buried with a lot of work to do. I hadn't even stepped out one bit.There was a knock on my door and Jenna peeked in, “Ma'am, some people are here to see you.” Oh…ever since I came back from the hospital, I have been receiving gifts and visitations etc. Well, what difference can this one make? “Who are they exactly?” I asked.“Two women. One elderly, one younger. They don't look too good though” she answered.The moment Jenna informed me that two women were waiting outside my office to see me, I had a feeling I already knew who they were. When she uttered their names, my suspicion was confirmed. Lily and Monica.I adjusted my posture, crossing one leg over the other, and let out a deep sigh. "Let them in."Jenna nodded and left, and within moments, the door creaked open. As soon as Lily stepped in, she collapsed to her knees, her body racking with sobs. Monica followed behind her, silent and stiff, her face unreada

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Epilogue: A New Beginning

    Five years later, the estate is no longer just a retreat. It’s a sanctuary—a living, breathing testament to the resilience of love, family, and legacy. As I stand by the grand oak tree in the heart of Seraphina’s Garden, I can hear the laughter of children echoing through the estate. My daughter is among them, her golden curls bouncing with every step as she runs around with her friends, her infectious giggle carrying on the breeze.Seraphina. The little girl who was born during a storm and who now, in the light of day, flourishes as a beacon of joy and hope. She’s everything I ever dreamed of and more. Every day, she reminds me of the strength I had when I thought I had none. And every day, she teaches me that the future is always worth fighting for.I watch as Alex kneels on the grass, helping her with the butterfly she’s carefully cupping in her hands, showing her how to let it go, how to trust the world outside. His love for her is something more than I ever imagined. A father’s l

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 176: Happily Ever After 

    Gina's POV There’s something sacred about peace—not just the absence of chaos, but the quiet fullness of a life hard-earned. I used to wonder if I would ever know such a feeling. Now, sitting in the sun-drenched solarium with my daughter giggling in my lap and Alex stretched beside us on the chaise, I know I’ve found it.I’ve found home.And it didn’t come wrapped in the perfect package or with a roadmap. It came in storms and secrets, in compromise and conflict, in tear-streaked nights and breathtaking mornings. It came in the arms of a man I never expected to love. And in the eyes of a child who showed me how to live without fear again.That’s why I decided to write it all down.My story.Our story.At first, it started as therapy. I needed a way to untangle the knots left behind by everything that had happened—the contract marriage, Victor’s threats, the courtroom battles, Evelyn’s truth, and the secrets buried deep within the Saxton legacy. But the more I wrote, the more I realiz

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 175: The Wedding 

    Gina's POV We named her Seraphina.The moment I held her in my arms, I knew there was no other name that could ever fit. She was born from fire and softness, from struggle and grace. And as she blinked up at me with those curious hazel eyes, so much like mine yet startlingly like Alex’s, I felt my heart permanently tether to hers.“Seraphina,” I whispered against her soft cheek, brushing a kiss there. “You’re going to change everything.”****Weeks passed in a blur of midnight feedings, lullabies hummed through tired lips, and soft coos that echoed down the estate’s halls. Alex and I were exhausted, but blissfully so. Our world had narrowed to a singular, perfect focus—her.The estate, once a symbol of looming uncertainty and painful inheritance, had become our sanctuary. But I didn’t want it to be just ours. My grandfather’s name had been dragged through courtrooms and sullied by lies. I wanted something different—a legacy rooted in healing, not conflict.That’s how the idea for the

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 174: Baby Seraphina

    Gina's POV The nursery smelled like fresh paint and baby powder, soft sunlight streaming through the white lace curtains that fluttered slightly in the breeze. I sat on the rocking chair near the window, my hand resting over my growing belly, which had become more prominent with each passing week. I was just seven months along, and though I felt constantly tired and achy, I also felt an overwhelming sense of love swelling inside me—more than I thought was humanly possible.Alex had just left for a quick meeting with our lawyer to finalize some estate documents. Evelyn was downstairs preparing her herbal tea mix that she claimed would "bring me peace of mind and smooth sleep," and Lana was folding tiny baby clothes in the corner of the room. It was a quiet morning. Too quiet.I shifted in my seat, rubbing my belly as a sharp ache shot up my spine. I winced but brushed it off. Pregnancy was full of strange sensations—this had to be just one of them. But a few minutes later, the ache r

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 173: It's Over

    Gina's POV The courtroom was colder than I remembered, its marble walls echoing the low murmurs of conversation, the clicking of heels, the scratching of pens. I wasn’t physically there—I was still confined to my bed—but through the live stream set up on my bedside table, I watched everything unfold.Alex sat at the front beside our lawyer, composed and confident in his tailored navy suit. Beside him, Evelyn, dignified in a modest beige dress, clutched a worn leather folder tightly in her lap. Her hands trembled slightly, but her eyes held the strength of someone ready to face the ghosts of her past.I pulled the blanket tighter around me, my heart pounding. This was it.“Court is now in session,” the bailiff announced.I gripped the edge of my blanket. This wasn’t just about reclaiming the estate anymore. It was about reclaiming the truth—our family’s truth. It was about protecting our baby’s future from a man who had threatened everything we held dear.Victor sat across the room, a

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 172: The Ruse 

    Gina's POV The room was silent except for the steady ticking of the antique grandfather clock that stood tall near the window. I lay in bed, propped up with an array of soft pillows, my hands gently resting on my growing belly. The sun had barely risen, but I hadn’t slept. My mind buzzed with anxiety, thoughts turning in endless circles.Alex had been pacing the hallway since dawn, talking to lawyers and strategists, his voice hushed but urgent. I could feel the weight of our reality pressing down harder with each passing day. The threat Victor posed wasn’t just legal anymore—it was dangerous, personal. And with each letter from Evelyn, each scrap of evidence we uncovered, the stakes only grew.I had never imagined a world where my family’s legacy could turn into a battlefield, or where protecting my unborn child would mean playing dangerous games of deception and strategy.When Alex finally stepped into the bedroom, his face was pale but determined. His suit was pressed, his tie per

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 171: Shadows in the Silence

    Gina’s POV The morning sunlight filtered gently through the gauzy curtains, wrapping the living room in a soft golden glow. The sound of waves crashing against the distant shoreline was like a lullaby to my anxious heart, and for the first time in days, I allowed myself to relax. I stretched slightly on the couch, my swollen belly cradled by pillows, and let my eyes drift lazily across the pages of the book I was reading.Lana sat just behind me, carefully running a wide-tooth comb through my tangled hair. She was gentle—always had been. Her hands worked through the knots in slow, practiced strokes, humming quietly as she did so. It reminded me of childhood days, when my mother would brush my hair and talk softly about her dreams and regrets. It brought a strange sense of comfort, even amidst the chaos of recent events.“Lana,” I murmured, closing my book and glancing over my shoulder, “would you mind getting me a glass of water?”“Of course,” she replied warmly, setting the comb dow

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 170: Time to Face The Truth 

    Alex's POV The courthouse smelled of polished wood, nerves, and freshly brewed coffee. A place where truth was supposed to hold weight—but truth, I’ve learned, is fragile in the face of men like Victor Wells.The judge’s voice echoed in the courtroom as the proceedings began, stern and unwavering. I sat at the front bench beside our attorney, Mr. Langdon, a seasoned man with sharp eyes and a mind like steel. Beside Victor, his legal team looked smug—too smug for someone who hadn’t even seen the real documentation yet.Gina should’ve been here with me. She would’ve sat tall and poised, even in fear. But the doctor’s orders had been clear: strict bed rest. No exceptions. Not when her life and our baby’s were on the line.Just the thought of her curled up at home in bed while this circus played out made my jaw tighten. I was here not just as a husband—but as her voice, her shield, her sword.Victor looked every bit the conman he was, wrapped in a tailored gray suit and arrogance. He sat

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 169: The Vindicating Truth

    Gina's POV “He claims to be Martin’s son,” Evelyn said. “My grandson. Your cousin, Gina.”The room tilted slightly.“Claims? You're not sure?” Alex asked, cutting in.“That’s why he’s claiming the estate,” I said slowly. “Because he believes it’s rightfully his.”“Yes. But he doesn’t know the full truth. He doesn’t know what Wilson planned. And he certainly doesn’t know that I kept every letter. Every piece of proof.”“And yes, I'm not sure”, Evelyn continued, throwing us into further confusion.My son, Martin, never told me about his son. I know he had a child some years back but I never met him. Surprisingly, this Victor Wells, has the resemblance of Martin. I suggest you carry out a DNA test to be sure if he's from our lineage. That will give you all the answers that you need, because if he isn't, a court case wouldn't be necessary.’She slid a box across the table toward me. “It’s all here. Letters, photographs, even legal documents Wilson sent me but never filed. They’ll be enou
