Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 59: Storm in Silence
E L L ETwo Weeks Later"I can't believe you're going through with this." I gritted out, looking at three of my biggest shareholders. No matter how hard my family and I had tried, two weeks wasn't enough to time to get the company back on it's feet. "What do you mean? They offered me an unbelievable deal, and I'd be crazy to say no. Not only that, the company is not making any money, and the board is losing confidence. They are starting to think the company is a sinking ship. We've lost one shareholder, and a lot of customers. It's not ideal. So, yes, I'm going through with it. There's no point wasting more time and resources on a sinking ship." Mr. Browne said, and the other men nodded in agreement. "This is unbelievable. You're selling the shares, and you don't even care. My father built this company, and you want to throw it all away, just like that." My words didn't seem to have any effect on them, as they still stood their ground. "Elle, it's been difficult, and there's noth

E L L EI took another swig of wine, as I adjusted my glasses, trying to make more researches about this new company.It was a Saturday morning, and if just finished with my laundry and took a shower. I was putting on just a old baggy T-shirt. It was Sebastian's.That was the only thing of his I had carried with him after our divorce five years ago, and for some reasons, I couldn't seem to let go of it. But, it was just a T-shirt anyways. I was definitely not wearing it because it reminded me of the times we had spent together.Nope.Not at all.I was wearing it, because I was a busy woman and couldn't be bothered to wear an actual shirt.That's right.I was just wearing the t-shirt and nothing else.I had a whole day to myself, and I planned to spend it on researching about this new competitor.It's not like I had anything else to do.I poured myself a glass of wine, and sat back down in front of the computer.My glasses were starting to slide down my nose, and I pushed them back.I

E L L EThe day of the party had arrived, and I was a ball of nerves.It was not like me, and the Elle I was before would not have been so worried.I had a reputation.The Ice Queen.I was fierce, and strong.But, for the past two weeks, my reputation had gone down the drain. The media were not having a good time with me.They made fun of me, and laughed at me.It was like a circus.A circus, and I was the main attraction.My father and mother were devastated.They hated the fact that the media was talking about me. They hated the fact that there were lies and false accusations.But, first I had to put a face and name to this woman and finally see what the hype is all about.The launching was held in a huge luxurious hotel, and the place was packed.Everyone was dressed in their best, and I could feel eyes on me the moment we walked inside."You know, I'm not going to lie. You do look really fierce and hot. If I wasn't in love, I would have totally gone for you." Giovanna commented as

E L L EThe party was in full swing, and everyone was having a great time.They were getting their products, and enjoying the rest of the evening.While, I was in a corner, seething with anger."What do we do now?" Gio asked."There is nothing we can do.""Elle, this is serious. You cannot sit here, and not do anything. That woman is evil, and she's planning something. You have to do something.""What? What exactly am I supposed to do, Gio? This is beyond me. It's bigger than I imagined.""You are Elle freaking Marino, the woman who has taken over the business world, and has left her mark. Do not let that bitch win.""Follow me," I said to Gio as we walked towards the shelves of the newly launched cosmetics products, and stopped.I got eye shadows, foundations, contours, lipsticks and eyeliners. I got the relaxers, took out my card and paid for them.The attendant handed me my receipt and I thanked her."What are you doing?""Just wait." I told her, as we walked to the nearest exit.T

E L L EA FEW MONTHS LATERLife was not going the way I wanted it to go.Everything was falling apart.I could see the look on my father's face, and how defeated he was.The company was losing clients, and sales were getting lower each day.No one was buying our products, and the market was dominated by Emory's company.It was not like the clients were complaining.It was the opposite.Everyone was happy, and satisfied with their purchase.But, there was no comparison.Rome Beauty had taken over, and there was no stopping them.Everyone was excited about the launch of the new product.An eye shadow palette, and it was selling out.In fact, they were launching a whole new line of eye shadow palettes. They were the talk of the town and everyone was excited.Everyone except, me.I was angry and frustrated.We'd worked hard and tried so much to maintain our status.But, it was like a huge slap in the face.We were losing.And, it hurt."Elle, I need you here, please."

E L L EThe next morning, I got a call from Avery."Elle, something crazy happened last night. Check your WhatsApp, I sent a picture to you."I did as she said and went to my WhatsApp."Holy shit. Same thing happened to me, Avery. I have this small gash on my face and reddish patch.""What are we going to do? Should we sue them or something? I knew something was definitely off with their products, it was too good to be true. There must be a dangerous chemical in their products that's harming our skin. This isn't right.""I'm going to do a little digging, Avery. We need to find out what is in their products.""Elle, they're launching another line. A skincare line. Can you imagine what could happen to everyone? To us? This is ridiculous. And, to think they'd release another line after damaging the skin of people who bought their other products. That's ridiculous. Do you know how many women will buy that product? Millions. That's what's going to happen, and we're just going to stand and

E L L EI invited Daniel out to have lunch with Giovanna and I, while we discuss how everything goes.He arrived ten minutes late, already having an apologetic face as he approached our table. Daniel has been my friend for the longest time, and he's one of the sweetest guys I know."I'm sorry for being late, ladies. You know how New York traffic is.""It's okay, Daniel. You're not that late. Come, join us." I said and gave him a smile."Thanks.""Do you know Giovanna?" I asked and they shook hands."Nice to meet you, Daniel.""Nice to meet you, too. How have you been, Elle? It's been a while.""It's okay. I'm fine. You?""Yeah, good. So, what's up? Is there a problem?""Yes, there is. And, it's not a small one.""Okay. What is it?""Well, remember when we were at my house and I showed you the product samples from Rome Beauty?""Uh-huh.""Well, they did something really fucked up.""Like what?""They hurt a lot of people.""What?

E L L E"That's what we've been trying to tell you, Elle. We've seen a lot of advertisements on their social media platforms. I can't believe this is happening."I was lost for words and was fuming with anger."They have no limits. Those bastards. I can't believe they are doing this.""They're going to release another line, and hurt millions of people.""And, their profits are going to double, or even triple. Those fuckers. She doesn't care. People's lives are at risk, and she doesn't give a shit. They don't deserve this. All she cares about is money. What a fucking bitch!""What are we going to do now?" Mina asked."We have one month to find out what's in their products, and the side effects. If something happens to a single person, we're suing their ass. And, we'll make sure everyone knows about this.""Are you going to tell Sebastian? Maybe, he's not aware."I looked at her, the sound of his name leaving a bitter taste on my mouth. "No, Mina. I'm not.

M A R YI was shocked to say the least as Elle hung the call on me. This wasn't the Elle I used to know. The Elle who was the softest person, a girl who could never hurt a fly, would have at least considered it.But, I guess, Sebastian and I have done too much damage, and now, she has a whole new persona.It was clear that she wouldn't take my son back. But, the problem was, would Sebastian give up on her?The answer was simple, no.He has never given up on her. Even after six years, he's still hoping, waiting for her to come back.She has a new man in her life. One who clearly has her attention. And that's why I knew this wouldn't be easy.Mikhail is clearly important to her.They've got a connection, and I could see it in her eyes, she cares about him. She's happy with him.And that is what Sebastian is fighting.He doesn't want to give up. My poor son is still holding onto the idea of her coming back. He's living a lie, and the problem is, he doesn't want to know the truth.That th

E L L EI was applying sunscreen on my body when I felt someone sit down beside me."Let me." Mikhail said softly, taking the bottle from my hands."Sure." I grinned.He squeezed some onto his palm, then began spreading it on my back."You're so beautiful, Elle. And your skin is glowing. The weather agrees with you." He said.I smiled at his comment. "Thank you. But, it's not the weather that makes me glow. It's you. You're the reason I feel good."He placed a sweet kiss on my shoulder, making my stomach do backflips. Several months with this man and he still makes me feel all warm inside.I was wearing my two piece swimsuit. It was yellow and black, with ruffled sleeves and a bow on the top of the bikini top. It had a thong and made me look hot.We were going to the beach behind the house, Avery, Giovanna, Mikhail and I. Avery and Giovanni were also getting ready.I leaned into him, sighing as he applied sunscreen on my shoulders."What is it?" he asked."Nothing. Just thinking about

S E B A S T I A NThe last few months have been depressing to say the least. I was slowly losing myself right in front of my own eyes and I couldn't do anything about it.I couldn't find a way to stop the change that was happening, even after everything I did to try to get her back. It wasn't enough, and I didn't understand it. I tried to make things better for her, but somehow they kept getting worse.It was as if there was some other force out there, some unknown entity that didn't want me to have her, and the more I tried to get her back, the harder this unseen force pushed against me.It was my fault for not believing her and blindly living with the real devil for years. But, wasn't the suffering and pain I felt during my time with her supposed to mean something?My entire life had been about making sure that the people I love, stayed safe and were happy.I gave up the only thing that mattered to me out of stupidity and no matter how much I've changed and regretted my actions, Kar

E L L EHow did I only just discover that there was literally a huge library room full of books in this mansion. It was like living in a dream, where all you have to do is ask for something, and it would be done.The library had all sorts of books.Novels, short stories, history, biographies, self-help books, poetry, and many more.It was truly heaven.Mikhail was out to get some of our luggages that weren’t complete from the airport. Avery and Gio were in their bedroom.I made myself a cup of coffee, locking myself inside the library and searching for a book that would satisfy my craving.I came across a novel titled 'The Black Dahlia' by James Ellroy. The title was quite interesting, so I grabbed the book and sat on one of the armchairs, making myself comfortable and beginning to read.The story was intense. I was sucked into it.i was so invested in the crime fiction book that I almost missed the sound of a knock coming from the door. I used my pen to keep track of the page number,

A V E R YI walked into our bedroom, sighting Giovanna straight away. She seemed to be having an important call as she paced back and forth."Yes yes, I will only be able to deliver them after a few days. I need to get settled first, before any business. And besides, we can't do anything here. We're on vacation. I don't have to answer to anyone here. But seeing as it's urgent and you're a loyal customer, I'll get back to you soon." She said and ended the call. "Who was that?" I asked, walking towards her. She seemed tensed and I could tell something was wrong."Oh, no one.""It doesn't seem like no one.""It's business, baby. You know I can't tell you much. But, I have to deliver some goods to this client.""When are you going to tell Elle about what you do?" I've been meaning to ask her this, but I was never able to get a chance."Not now, babe. Not yet. I can't tell her right now. She has a lot on her plate and knowing her, she'll worry too much. I don't want her to have to deal wi

E L L EA shiny black BMW SUV was parked and waiting for us. We piled into the car and drove off.It felt good to be back to my hometown, even though I wasn't born here. But it was the country where I had family, and it will always have a special place in my heart. I could see the buildings, and the beautiful landscape.The roads were wide, and it was just so peaceful and relaxing.Mikhail was at the front seat with the driver, while Giovanna, Avery and I were sitting at the back. We were in a car, and we had guards following behind us.I didn't mind, as long as we were safe.And I had a feeling that we were in good hands."It's so beautiful here.""Right? I love it." Giovanna smiled."I do too." Avery said. "It's been a while since I've been here." I said, watching the beautiful nature as the car sped past the forest. "And we're going to make sure that you enjoy every moment. We'll have a great time. Trust me. Just relax."I nodded and smiled. "Thank you for being here. All of you

E L L EI woke up on a queen sized bedroom, that was definitely not mine. And definitely not on land. I woke up on a plane."What the hell?" I muttered, trying to remember how I ended up on a plane.I remember going to my bedroom with Mikhail and falling asleep right after, only for me to wake up now, and in a private jet."Finally awake?"I turned to my right and saw Mikhail walking into the room."What the hell happened?""Good afternoon, sweetheart.""Afternoon? Mikhail, what's going on? Why am I on a plane? Where are we going?""We're going to Italy.""What? Why?""I don't want you in danger anymore. And, we can't keep you safe in America. We've decided that you'll be safer away from America, and away from your parents. Your safety and well-being is top priority. You need a break."And it made sense.And I didn't know how I felt about this.I was conflicted and happy at the same time. Happy because I was leaving the country, where a person is out to kill me, and conflicted because

M I K H A I LThe past few weeks have been hectic, and taking a huge toll on Elle, mentally, physically and emotionally.We had hired the best investigators and the top security guards, and the search was still going. But, they have found nothing. It's almost as if the person was a ghost, or had someone covering up for them.The news about the case being dropped had spread like wildfire and Elle was devastated.I was also furious, and I couldn't help but think about the mayor and his shady dealings. The system was corrupt, and the police department and the authorities were full of crooks.They could care less about their citizens and only wanted money.This is why the case is dropped.Because the mayor is in their pockets and they're willing to drop the case and protect the person who's trying to kill Elle.This was a fucking joke.We were fighting an invisible enemy.Their excuse was that it could have been just a regular thief who tried to steal from her. If they truly just tried t

L A N AI walked into the hotel bar, my golden dress catching the attention of everyone in the room. But, I had my target for tonight.I graciously sat on the barstool and waved the bartender over."Hi, can I have a vodka, please.""Of course, ma'am." I smiled and crossed my legs, looking at the people sitting at the tables, or drinking at the bar.This was a perfect opportunity to get what I needed."Here's your drink, ma'am." The bartender set the drink down in front of me and I nodded."Thanks." I grabbed the glass and sipped the bitter alcohol, my eyes scanning the room.There.The perfect one.His eyes were already on me, his beer belly protruding. There was no physical attraction, but I needed to do what needed to be done. And which other person to drop the case against trying to find my ken than the Data Protection Officer himself (DPO) himself?He wasn't the head of the department, but he had the information I needed. The case against trying to find me and the people behind the
