Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 60
Gina's POVI was in the kitchen frying some eggs when Alex walked in. The time was still five forty-five in the morning. I didn't expect him to be up by this time. Alex has never been an early riser.“See who's awake by now?” I said when he bent over and kissed my neck.“Morning, Babe. I had to wake up early because I have a lot to do at work. Is breakfast ready yet?”“About to be. Let me jus finish up with these eggs. Go on and freshen up, I'll join you later.” I said.Thirty minutes later, we were at the dining table, munching away. “I'm done, My love. Have a nice day ahead. I'll call you during the day.” We kissed briefly before he left.After we finished eating, Lana cleared up the plates and proceeded to do the dishes. Lana just returned from her break yesterday, after two weeks.I stepped out of the bathroom after having a quick shower when Lana came in.“There is someone in the living room, Ma'am. She is here to see Mr. Alexander” “Alexander? My husband?” I asked, in surprise

Gina's POV Getting back to my room, I dialed Alex's and he picked up at the first ring.“Why didn't you tell me that your sister would be coming?” I blurted out,“Which of my sisters?” He asked, his voice a bit higher than usual.“Which of them did you plan to visit you? So you knew that your sister would be coming and you didn't deem it fit to inform me before hand? Well, for your information…” I was about to tell him of my intention to keep his sister outside but he cut me off.“Hey, can you be calm? At least, hear me out. I didn't know that she would be coming.” “Really? You want me to believe that? How then did she know your home address?” I asked.“I told her. I mean, she asked about it. But I didn't know that she had plansof visiting. Besides, which of my sisters are you talking about? Can you describe her?” “Average in height, has blue eyes, rude, witty and blonde hair with a sharp tongue.” I described.Alex let out a low chuckle, “oh, that must be Anna. She's always like th

Elena's POVI found myself pressed against the cold wall, my ear straining to catch every word spilling from the room. Julian and Lily were arguing again, their voices sharp and raw, cutting through the silence of the hallway like a blade. I had expected it, of course. It was only a matter of time before Lily realized the truth—before she saw Julian for what he really was. The perfect, doting husband act wouldn’t last forever. Not when it was built on nothing but greed and obligation. I smirked to myself as I listened. "You only care about me because of my father's will!" Lily's voice cracked, filled with frustration and pain. I could practically see Julian standing there, his jaw tight, his fists clenched at his sides. He would never admit it outright, but we all knew the truth. And poor, sweet Lily—so naive. So desperate to believe in love. Foolish girl. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn’t hear the argument dying down. I didn’t hear Julian moving toward t

Elena's POVI stood outside the living room door, my heart hammering against my ribcage as I counted down the seconds in my head. Gina had said the drug would take about thirty minutes to work, but I waited an extra ten, just to be sure. I couldn’t afford for this plan to fail. Not when I was this close to proving what kind of man Julian really was. The tray of biscuits trembled slightly in my hands, but it wasn’t nerves—I knew exactly what I was doing. I had planned this down to the last detail. Taking a deep breath, I turned to the maid standing beside me. She was young, barely older than me, with soft brown eyes and a naïve, eager smile. “Do you remember what we discussed?” I asked her in a low voice. She nodded, her lips curving up slightly in amusement. “Of course, miss.” I glanced toward the living room where Julian sat, flipping lazily through his phone, oblivious to what was about to happen. Then, I caught the maid’s gaze again and gave her a subtle nod. That was he

Elena's POVMorning came, dragging a thick silence with it. The air in the mansion felt heavier, as if last night's storm of emotions had left an unseen fog lingering between the walls. I could hear the occasional creak of footsteps, the hushed murmurs of servants exchanging words they didn’t dare speak aloud. I took my time getting ready, brushing my hair with slow, deliberate strokes while gazing at my reflection. My face betrayed nothing. A satisfied smirk tugged at my lips before I smoothed it away. No, I needed to keep my composure. There was still a role to play. A knock at the door made me sit upright. "Come in," I called, already knowing who it was. Lily stepped inside, her face pale, eyes red-rimmed and swollen. She had barely slept—if she had at all. Her lips trembled slightly, and for a moment, I thought she might break down right in front of me. But she straightened her back, her fingers tightening around the handkerchief she clutched in her hand. "Elena," she

Lily's POVThe morning light streaming through the curtains did nothing to lift the weight pressing against my chest. My head throbbed, my eyes ached from crying, and my heart—God, my heart felt like it had been torn in two. I sat curled up on the edge of my bed, knees drawn to my chest, staring blankly at the wall. The events of last night played over and over in my mind like a nightmare on repeat. Julian. The maid. The way they looked at each other. The way he had barely even tried to explain himself. A fresh wave of nausea rolled through me, and I clenched my hands into fists, trying to suppress the storm of emotions threatening to swallow me whole. Then, the door creaked open. I stiffened but didn’t turn. I already knew who it was. "Lily," Julian’s voice was soft, cautious. I closed my eyes, forcing myself to take a steadying breath. "Can we talk?" he asked hesitantly. I didn’t answer. I heard the door shut, the quiet click of the lock. Then, the sound of his f
Last Updated : 2025-01-31Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 66: Setting Boundaries
Gina's POVThe evening air carried a quiet hum through the house as Alex walked in, his usual confident stride bringing warmth into the space. I had been setting the table for dinner when I heard the front door open, followed by the unmistakable sound of his deep voice. And then, a softer, more excited voice followed—his sister. I turned just in time to see her throw herself into his arms, giggling as he spun her slightly before setting her down. “Anna,” he said with a chuckle, “you’re still as dramatic as ever.” She grinned, flipping her long, sleek blonde hair over her shoulder before turning her gaze toward me. “And this is your must be Gina,” she said, looking me up and down with an assessing expression. I forced a polite smile.Alex wrapped an arm around me. “Anna, this is my wife, Gina. Gina, my very troublesome little sister.” Anna scoffed playfully. “Troublesome? Please. I’m an angel.” Alex smirked. “Angel? That’s a stretch.” I chuckled lightly, though somethi

Gina's POVDinner was quiet, the clinking of cutlery against plates the only sound filling the dining room. Alex sat across from me, his gaze occasionally flickering toward mine with a small, reassuring smile. Despite the chaos Anna had already caused since arriving, he was trying to keep the peace. I, on the other hand, wasn’t in the mood for pretense. Anna had been sleeping all day, completely oblivious to the running of the house. And now, just as we were finishing up dinner, she strolled into the dining room, stretching and yawning dramatically. She didn’t offer so much as a glance in our direction. No greeting. No acknowledgment of our presence. Instead, she plopped herself down in a chair, tossing her hair over her shoulder. “Lana, bring my food,” she ordered, her voice dripping with entitlement. I set my fork down slowly, watching as Lana hesitated, glancing at me for permission before retreating to the kitchen. A few minutes later, the housekeeper returned with a

Elena's POV I was packing my bags, my mind racing with thoughts of Asia and the new life that awaited me. But just as I was about to zip up my suitcase, my phone rang."Hello?" I answered, expecting it to be Gina."Hi, is this Elena?" a deep voice asked."Yes, it is. Who is this?""My name is Mark. I'm Gina's associate. She sent me to drive you to the airport."I nodded, even though he couldn't see me. "Okay, thanks. What time should I be ready?""How about we meet at the coffee shop on 5th street at 2 pm?" Mark suggested.I agreed, and we hung up. But as I continued packing, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't right. I had an ulterior motive, one that I couldn't reveal to Gina or Mark just yet.I finished packing, but instead of taking my suitcase with me, I left it behind. I dressed up in a sun hat and glasses, concealing my face. I made my way to the coffee shop, my heart racing with anticipation.When I arrived, Mark was already there, sitting in a black sedan.

Gina's POV I walked into my house, dropping my bag on the floor. I was exhausted from a long day at work. As I made my way to the kitchen to grab a glass of water, I remembered that I hadn't spoken to Elena in a while.I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed her number. She picked up on the second ring."Gina! Oh my god, it's so great to hear from you!" Elena exclaimed.I chuckled. "Hey, Elena. I'm sorry I haven't called you in a while. How have you been?""I've been good, Gina. But I've had some trouble," Elena said, her voice serious."What kind of trouble?" I asked, my instincts on high alert."Julian and his friends sent some men to capture me," Elena said, her voice shaking.I gritted my teeth. "Those bastards. I'm so sorry, Elena. Are you okay?""Yeah, I'm fine. I managed to escape," Elena said.I took a deep breath. "Elena, I think it's time for you to get out of the country. I want you to fly to Asia."There was a pause on the other end of the line. "Asia? But why, Gina?""Beca
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 92: In Hiding
Elena's POV Some Days Earlier***I trudged wearily back to my apartment, my arms laden with groceries from the market. It had been weeks since I'd last spoken to Gina, and I was starting to feel like a ghost, invisible and forgotten.After leaving Lily's house under Gina's instructions, I'd gone into hiding, always looking over my shoulder, waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'd rented a small apartment a few months ago, and it had become my refuge, my sanctuary.But I couldn't stay there all the time. I had to keep moving, had to keep changing my routine, just in case someone was watching. So, some nights I'd lodge in a hotel, paying cash and using a fake name.It was a lonely, isolating existence, but I knew it was necessary. I'd seen what Gina was capable of, and I knew that if she wanted to find me, she would.As I approached my apartment building, I noticed something that made my heart skip a beat. Two men, dressed in black and wearing masks, were snooping around the entrance.
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 88: Fools
Julian's POVI bent over and ripped the blindfold off the girl's face, my heart pounding. The dim light of the warehouse flickered over her tear-streaked cheeks, but as soon as I got a good look at her, my stomach twisted. It wasn’t Elena. Lily gasped beside me, her hand flying to her mouth. "Julian… this isn’t her."Monica, standing a few feet away, erupted into laughter. "You idiots," she scoffed, shaking her head. "You fools are always being deceived."My jaw clenched so tight I thought my teeth might crack. Rage surged through me like wildfire. I spun around and locked eyes with one of the men who had captured the girl. Without a second thought, I drove my fist into his face, feeling the satisfying crunch of bone against my knuckles. He staggered back, blood dripping from his nose. "You had one job," I snarled. "One fucking job! And you couldn’t even do that right."He groaned, holding his face, but I wasn’t done. I stepped forward, grabbing his shirt, yanking him close. "Go fin

Julian's POV The next evening, we got our confirmation. Bill’s men had eyes on Elena. She had just returned to the apartment after being out all day, and she was alone. “This is it,” Monica said, pacing excitedly. “We need to act now.” I glanced at Lily, but she was avoiding my gaze. “Bill’s men are in position,” I told them. “They can handle the grab. But once we have her, what’s next?” Monica grinned. “We make her talk. One way or another.” Lily shifted uncomfortably but said nothing. I nodded. “Alright. Let’s do this.” I made the call. Lily finally looked up, her eyes wide with unease. “Julian…” I reached for her hand, squeezing it gently. “Trust me.” She hesitated, then gave a small nod. I looked back at the message on my phone. Take her to the warehouse. We’ll be there soon.*******I paced the length of the warehouse, my shoes clicking against the cold concrete floor. The dim light barely illuminated the figure tied to the chair in the center of the ro

The events of the past few days had been overwhelming, and I was grateful for the comfort and safety of Alex's arms.We stepped into the bathroom, and Alex turned on the shower, adjusting the temperature to just right. We stood under the warm water, letting it wash away the stresses of the day. Afterwards, Alex gently towel-dried my hair and applied a generous amount of hair oil, working it through my tangled locks with a gentle touch.As he combed out my hair, I felt my eyes grow heavy, the soothing motion lulling me into a state of relaxation. Alex helped me slide into my nightgown, his fingers brushing against my skin, sending shivers down my spine.We climbed into bed, and Alex wrapped his arms around me, holding me close. I felt safe, protected, and loved."Gina, I want you to promise me something," Alex said, his voice low and serious."What is it?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper."I want

Gina's POV As the violins played a soft, romantic tune, Alex pulled me close, his arms wrapping securely around my waist. I let out a breathless laugh as he swayed us gently, our feet sinking slightly into the cool beach sand. “Dancing barefoot on the beach?” I teased, gazing up at him. “Who knew you were such a romantic?” He smirked. “You bring it out of me.” I shook my head, smiling. “I still can’t believe all of this. The dinner, the music, the stars…” I sighed, resting my head against his chest. “It’s perfect.” He pressed a kiss to my temple. “That’s all I wanted—for you to be happy.” I closed my eyes, letting the moment wash over me. The rhythmic crash of the waves, the warmth of Alex’s embrace, the feeling of being utterly and completely loved. It was everything. After what felt like forever, he pulled back slightly, his hand still gripping mine. “Come with me. There’s one more thing I want to show you.” I arched an eyebrow. “Another surprise?” He chuckled. “Tru
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 84: A helpless Romantic
Gina’s POVAlex led me inside the penthouse, and the moment I stepped through the door, my breath hitched. It was stunning. Soft, golden lights illuminated the spacious living room, casting a warm glow over the polished marble floors. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a breathtaking view of the ocean, the waves shimmering under the moonlight.A plush white sofa sat in the center of the room, surrounded by sleek modern furniture. In the corner, a grand piano rested near a collection of candles flickering gently, filling the air with a subtle vanilla scent. I turned to Alex, my eyes wide. “This place is incredible.” He grinned, watching my reaction. “I hoped you’d like it.” “Like it?” I spun in a slow circle, taking everything in. “Alex, it’s—” I shook my head, speechless. He walked up behind me, his hands resting gently on my waist. “Only the best for my wife.” A shiver ran through me at the way he said it. I turned in his arms, looking up at him. “You didn’t have to do
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 84: Kisses
Gina’s POVAs the credits rolled on the screen, Alex stretched and turned to me with a mischievous glint in his eyes. “The night’s not over yet,” he said. I raised an eyebrow. “Oh? There’s more?” He smirked. “Of course. You didn’t think I’d settle for just dinner and a movie, did you?” I chuckled. “Honestly? I was already impressed.” “Well, prepare to be amazed.” He took my hand and led me back to the car, opening the door for me like a true gentleman. As I slid inside, he leaned in slightly, his lips brushing against my temple before he shut the door. The simple touch sent warmth rushing through me. When he got into the driver’s seat, he started the engine and turned to me. “Comfortable?” I nodded. “So where are we going?” He grinned. “Patience, my love.” With that, he pulled out of the parking lot and started driving. As we cruised along the countryside, the city lights faded behind us, replaced by open fields and the soft glow of the moon. The radio played sof
