Gina's POV

I clasped my hand over my mouth in an attempt to stop myself from making a sound.

Tomorrow night?

Usual place?

It's not like it mattered to me what he does at his spare time anyways. But I felt so infuriated and hurt gnawed deep down.

Well, let's see if he will carry out his plans tomorrow night.

I walked back to the living room, wearing the brightest smile and acting like nothing ever happened.

“Mrs. Gina, how is everything going? Hope your marriage to Mr. Blackwood is not threatening your peace of mind?” Mr. Jenkins asked, after some minutes of awkward silence.

“Not at all. We are coping just fine.” I replied curtly.

“If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here. I was a close friend of your grandfather. I'll be glad to assist you in any way that I can.” He said again.

Hmmm. Since he is willing to assist in anyway…

“I think I'll need your help with something. I need someone who will help me look into something. Can you refer me to anyone that is good in hacking and st

    Gina's POVI took in a deep breath, closed my eyes for a second.The doors split open and I stood. A new surge of confidence overpowered me, then I began to stride inside. Slowly at first, then majestically.“Don't forget Regina; you're the boss here. They are your subjects.” Alex's voice ringed in my ear as I walked on.Bruno and other men walked behind me, with Lawyer Jenkins and Alexander coming behind.Walking up to the stage, I flashed a little smile for the camera. There were so many reporters as expected, taking as many photos as possible.I felt so important and impressed with myself.This is just the beginning, Regina.****When the noise died down, I gave my inaugural speech, one that I have been rehearsing for days.After taking pictures, it was time to go to the fourth floor where the meeting room was. This was where we would have our private meeting with the Board of Directors.Alex and I left first, heading to the elevator.“You did well. I'm impressed. It appears that a

    Gina's POV Just before we arrived home, my phone beeped and it was an email from Daya. The young lady that Alex had been in touch with turned out to be “Antoniette Braxton.” Toni.“She is well known as Toni Braxton. I have attached her photos below. She is Alexander Blackwood’s girlfriend. There are several photos of the two of them which I have also attached.” I scanned through the texts, scrolled down to see the photos.She was a young brunette, apparently not more than 25 years old. She had a killer smile and her photos exuded the aura of a ‘sassy girl’.I downloaded the photos and saved them on my phone for evidence sake.*****We pulled up at the house and when we got down from the car, Alex extended his arm for me to hold but I ignored and walked past him.“Are you okay?” He asked, striding beside me.“Yes.”“I know that our displays of affection is meant only for the public eyes to see but at least, holding my hand is not a crime.” “Alex, I really don't wish to argue now.

    Gina's POVI watched him stiffen at my question. I still laid on his body, gently stroking his hair with a permanent smile on my lips.“What…why…what is this all about?” He stammered.“That's not the answer to my question Honey.” I cooed gently,“Gina, I have to get up. This appointment…” he tried to stand up, but I resisted him by pressing him back on the bed.“Relax. We're just having a friendly conversation. Don't try to run. So tell me…”“I don't know who you're talking about.”“I thought you'd say that. So I brought my phone. Thoughtful of me, isn't it?” I smiled brightly at him.“Too bad you had to lie about it. I thought we were supposed to tell each other nothing but the truth.” I said, feigning a frown.“Anyways, I have quite a few photos of the lovely time you spent with her. Care to see? I'll just show it to you.” The whole time I spoke, Alex kept staring at me in disbelief, his eyes widened with shock.I clicked on the photos on my phone gallery and he kept staring at the

You've been in there for quite a while now.” It was Alex.“Yeah, I'm good. I'll join you in a minute.” After cleaning up, I joined them back in the meeting room.“Jenna, I won't be able to meet with that man today, reschedule it for next month. That's when I'll meet with him.” I instructed and I noticed the stares and shifts.“Alright Ma'am. I'll inform him right away.”“Next month? Don't you think it's too far, Ma'am? ” Mr. Thompson asked curiously.“It's not. I have several engagements for the rest of the month.” “This person could be a prospective buyer of our company shares, or maybe he might want to be part of our company funding.” Mr. Thompson protested.“Are we running short of funds?” I asked, turning my gaze to him.“No, we aren't. But then…” “That will be all for now. I don't feel too well. Our meeting is reschedu

Today was my first day at Alex's company, and I was eager to make a good impression.As I was finishing up my hair, Alex walked into the room, looking dashing in his tailored suit. "You look stunning, Gina," he said, giving my a kiss on the cheek. "I'm so proud to have you by my side today."I blushed, feeling a flutter in my chest. I was still getting used to the idea of being Alex's wife, but I had to admit, it felt nice to have him by my side. Even though our romantic gestures are not actually real.We headed to the garage, where our driver, James, was waiting for us in the black Range Rover Sport. Alex opened the door for me, and I slid into the passenger seat. Alex got in beside me, and James greeted us with a smile."Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood," he said, eyeing my outfit. "You both look lovely today."I smiled, feeling a sense of pride. I was still getting used to being referred to as

I could see the look of fear on their faces, at least they won't disobey me.After the noise had calmed down, I unlocked the door to the restroom and Alex stood right in front of me, wearing a very serious frown.“Frown all you want.” I said, walking away.“You locked me inside, Regina.”“Yes.”“Why?” He seethed.“Because I wanted to handle this by myself. Which I did. You have nothing to worry about.” I said with my ever calm voice.“Who was that?”“You have nothing to worry about.” I said again, nonchalantly, rolling my eyes.Alex charged at me, grabbing my wrist fiercely.“If you make me ask one more question, you'll regret it, Regina.” He growled.“You're hurting me, Alex. I could sue you for this. Let go of my hand…now.” I said, making emphasis on the last word.He released my wrist, still glaring into my eyes and I maintained the eye contact.“You think you've become powerful now, just because you're an heiress, right?”

    Alex's POV“That's absurd, Gina. You can't decide that. I can't even decide that. This marriage is happening whether we like it or not. Nobody is changing the terms.” I protested.“So you think that I'm gonna put up with your stinky attitudes and flirting just because this is an arranged marriage?” “Yes. You will do just that. You know why? It's because you don't even have a choice. Now, leave my room.” I finalized.She glared at me one last time before storming out of the room.Fancy this woman trying to control me. No one tells me what to do. I'll do whatever I want, when I deem it fit.****For the next few days after our last argument, I barely saw Gina at the house. She'd leave for work as early as possible and return in the evening, only to lock herself in her room.We met few times in the dining room or at the garage, where we would whisper greetings and walk pass. We haven't made any public appearance since then, which is relieving.I was getting ready to go to work when Ton

    Alex's POV “Yeah, she found out recently. A lot has happened actually. It's just overwhelming sometimes. She even asked me to call it quits with Toni.” I explained.“Woah. It means she is obviously feeling something for you then. Women tend to get jealous when they like someone.” Jude added.“Far from that. She said it was for the sake of her company. Gina is a hard nut to crack. I've been trying to talk to her ever since.”“Think of the best way to resolve this. Remember the saying ‘chase two girls, loose the one’. I'm sure you don't wish to loose Gina. You know what her presence is doing for you.” Dave advised.“That's exactly why I'm confused. After our marriage, my work has been going so well. Several companies have been showing interest in partnering with me, all because I'm connected to Saxton Empire…”“Then enjoy this moment. Savour it, while it lasts. The marriage is for two years, yeah? Make the most of it. That's my advice for you.” Dave concluded.“And you know that she ju

  • 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 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 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

    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

    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

    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 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 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
