Gina's POV

The weight in my chest refused to lift. No matter how many times I told myself that what I was thinking about Elena wasn't true. Yet, the unease gnawed at me like a parasite, making it impossible to focus. It wasn’t like her to disappear. Not after everything I had done. Not without so much as a thank you.

I sat in my dimly lit office, swirling the wine in my glass, my mind drifting through possibilities I didn’t want to consider. Was she hurt? Had someone else taken her? Was she lying low on purpose? Every scenario led to more questions, none of which had answers.

Then, my phone rang.

I snatched it off the desk so quickly the wine nearly spilled from my glass. I glanced at the caller ID—Victor Saxton. One of the board members under me.

I let out a slow breath before answering.

“Gina Saxton speaking,” I said, slipping effortlessly into my composed, businesslike tone.

“Mrs. Gina,” Victor’s voice rang with excitement. “I had to call you personally. The charity pro

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 96: Frustration and Setbacks

    Julian's POVI gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. My jaw clenched as I replayed the argument with Lily and Monica in my head for the hundredth time. It was the same thing every damn day. Lily’s sharp words. Monica’s disapproving glances. Their constant complaints, their nagging voices ringing in my ears long after I had left the house. "You never spend time at home anymore, Julian." "You're always stressed, and you're taking it out on Lily!" "Maybe if you actually listened, your business wouldn't be falling apart!" That last one had come from Monica. And it had taken every ounce of self-control not to snap right then and there. She had no idea what I was dealing with. No idea how hard I was fighting to keep my company from sinking. My funding was drying up. Investors were pulling out. My financial team had warned me that if I didn’t secure new capital soon, I’d be looking at bankruptcy within the next year. And now, on top of everything

    Gina's POVSomething was off. I could feel it deep in my bones. No matter how I tried to push it aside, the uneasy feeling coiled tightly around me, refusing to let go. Elena’s kidnapping—it didn’t sit right. The pieces weren’t aligning the way they should, and that was enough to keep me restless. I had already sent the ransom for her release, yet something gnawed at me, a whisper in the back of my mind warning me that this wasn’t just a simple abduction. When the man provided me with the address where Elena had been held, it triggered something—an itch I couldn’t scratch. The address rang a bell, but I couldn’t immediately place it. His words replayed in my head, his voice gravelly through the receiver as he gave me the address where Elena had been held captive. An address that nagged at me like a splinter buried deep under my skin. I sat in my study, drumming my fingers against the polished wood of my desk, mind racing. The address felt familiar, too familiar. It wasn’t

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 98

    Gina's POVI hated being played. The moment I made the connection between Elena’s so-called kidnapping and her own house, I knew she had staged the entire thing. But knowing wasn’t enough—I needed proof. Cold, hard evidence that would expose her little game and put me back in control. I reached for my phone and dialed the number of the man who had just sent me the address. He picked up after the first ring. “Yes, ma’am?” “I need you to track the kidnapper’s phone number,” I said without preamble. “Find out who he is.” There was a brief silence on the other end before he responded. “I’ll get to work immediately.” “Good. I’ll be waiting.” I ended the call and leaned back in my chair, tapping my fingers against the desk. The anticipation burned through me like acid. I hated waiting, but this was a game of patience now. I needed the full picture before making my next move. All because of this investigation thing, I didn't go to work today. Wat would be the essence of going

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 99: The truth is revealed 

    Gina's POVPatience was never my strong suit. I sat there, gripping my coffee cup so tightly that my knuckles turned white, my foot tapping against the marble floor in an uneven rhythm. I was waiting—counting the seconds—until my contact sent me the final piece of this puzzle. The truth. My instincts had never failed me before, and they weren’t failing me now. I knew that when that message arrived, it would confirm what I already suspected. Elena had orchestrated the entire kidnapping. She had played the victim, forced my hand, and taken my money. But what I wasn’t prepared for was just how deep her deception ran. Five minutes. That was all it took. My phone vibrated against the desk, the sharp buzz slicing through the heavy silence in the room. I snatched it up immediately, unlocking it with practiced speed. The message was short. But the words hit me like a sledgehammer to the chest. “The account belongs to a woman named Catherine Jose. I'm sure you don't want to know

    Gina's POVI crossed my legs, tapping my nails against the glass table between me and Lana. The soft clicks echoed through the dimly lit room, but my mind was too clouded with rage to focus on anything but Elena. She thought she could betray me and walk away unscathed? No. I would make sure she regretted ever crossing me. Lana leaned forward, her voice low and careful. “We need to be smart about this. If we rush, she’ll slip through our fingers.” “She won’t.” My voice was sharp, unwavering. “I’ll make sure of it.” I had spent months building my influence, ensuring no one dared challenge me. And yet, Elena—someone I had once considered useful—had turned against me. She thought she was clever, thought she could outmaneuver me. She was wrong. Lana smirked. “We could set a trap. Make her come to us instead of chasing her down.” I narrowed my eyes. “And how do you suggest we do that?” Before she could answer, the door creaked open. I immediately straightened as Alex walked in

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 101: More Truths

    Gina's POV I stormed into my office the next morning, my heels clicking sharply against the marble floors. The rage boiling inside me was barely contained, simmering just beneath the surface, ready to explode at the slightest provocation. Jenna, my secretary, barely had time to greet me before I cut her off. “I don’t want to be disturbed today,” I snapped, not bothering to look at her. “Yes, ma’am,” she replied softly, stepping aside as I marched to my desk. I threw my bag onto the polished surface, exhaling through my nose as I reached for my phone. My fingers dialed the number with precision, my nails tapping impatiently against the armrest of my chair as I waited. The moment the call connected, I didn’t give James a chance to speak. “Get in my office. Now.” I ended the call before he could respond. I didn’t need to hear whatever excuse he had lined up—I’d hear it when he stood in front of me, sweating under my glare. A few minutes later, a hesitant knock sounded on m

  • Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress    Chapter 102: Antoniette 

    Julian's POVThe evening had been quiet, peaceful even. For once, there was no tension in the air, no lingering arguments or unspoken words left to cut through the silence. We sat around the dining table, the warm glow from the chandelier casting soft shadows across the room. Monica sat to my right, Lily to my left, the clinking of silverware against plates the only sound filling the space. I had almost allowed myself to enjoy the moment when the front door swung open without warning. The sudden intrusion made Lily and Monica pause mid-bite, both of them turning toward the entrance with questioning expressions. A woman stepped inside, her presence commanding yet elegant. She was dressed in a fitted navy blue dress, her long dark hair cascading over her shoulders in loose waves. A confident smirk played on her lips as she scanned the room before locking eyes with me. "Julian," she said smoothly, setting down her purse and walking toward me. It took me a second to process the

    Elena's POVI knocked firmly on the door, stepping back slightly as I waited. The cold night air brushed against my skin, but I barely felt it. My heart was steady, my mind sharp. I had thought about this moment for weeks, planned it down to the last detail. Now, it was finally here. When the door swung open, Julian stood frozen. His eyes widened in shock, his breath hitching slightly as he took in the sight of me. He looked almost… transfixed, as if he couldn’t quite believe I was real. I let the moment stretch, let him drink in my presence, before tilting my head with a smirk. "Are you going to let me in," I said coolly, "or should I start making myself comfortable right here?" That snapped him out of his daze. He blinked, his jaw tightening. "Elena," he finally murmured, his voice laced with disbelief. "You’re supposed to be—" "Gone?" I finished for him, arching a brow. "Yeah, I figured you’d think that. But as you can see—" I stepped closer, my voice lowering, "I’m ver

    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

    Gina's POV The time was almost 10pm. I had closed from work and now, I have one thing left before I can retire for the day. 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
