Revenge on My Ex-husband CHAPTER 23
“Guys, I think that black car is following us" I said slowly, watching the back. The car was tinted so dark I could not see even a glimpse of the driver or passengers, if any. But it was gaining speed gradually. “Jameson?" I said, my voice a little higher. “Relax. They're on our side". Jameson said calmly. Oh. So there were passengers in the car. I relaxed in my seat. I trusted Jameson, to an extent. He would not want to sacrifice himself with us. “Do you really think Brandon will come for us?" Charlotte asked, wrapping her hands around her body. “It is certainly a possibility". Jameson replied, glancing at her. “The fact that Tatiana came to you a few days ago? He's got his eyes on you. And he believes you to be sending some letters. Adrian's disappearance will look like your work. From the look of things, it won't be long before things begin to add up". “What things?" I asked. He met my eyes through the rear mirror. “Our interferences with Star T

CHARLOTTE'S POV “What?" He said, looking confused. “I heard you and Jenn. I listened to the entire thing". I nodded at the realization on his face. “You don't get to decide if it's too late". “But isn't it?" He asked hopelessly. “Guys, I'm hungry". Jenn shouted. Our heads turned simultaneously to the sound of her voice.“I'm hungry too". I said, walking past him out of the room. “This isn't over". I called back to him.** “You know, Lettie". Jenn said around a mouthful of food. “I thank God everyday that I have a friend that really is a such terrific cook". I rolled my eyes, wondering why she was being a chatterbox all of a sudden. “Jameson did most of the cooking, not me". She turned to him. “Oh well. That means I have-wait what?" She turned back to me. “Jameson?" “He cooks better than I do" I said somewhat proudly. “And why don't I know this?" Her look turned accusing. I shrugged. “I don't know, probably because whenever I talk abo

JAMESON'S POV “Oh, hi mom". I said, a little too loudly. “Finally accepts what?" She repeated, her eyes narrowed. I felt a bead of sweat roll down the side of my face. “Actually..." I trailed off. “I'm the one accepting something, right?" She asked. She didn't hear that part? I grabbed the opportunity. “Well, no. Thing is-" my dad cleared his throat, cutting me off. I looked at him and he raised his brows. I sighed, giving in. He was right. I had to get it over with. “I need to tell you something". I said to her. She stared at me for a few seconds. “Well, get on with it". She said. I tried to start, but I couldn't. She looked like she was bracing herself. “Let's sit". I said, taking her hand. She shook me off. “I'm all right here". She said stiffly. “Darling". Dad said quietly. She did not reply. She kept her eyes on me. I sighed, walking to a couch. I lowered myself onto it slowly, aware that my mom was watching my every movement. I

CHARLOTTE'S POV “PG 27 here, please" Jenn said loudly, forcing us to separate. “Have mercy on the single ladies". She snarked. “You're 27". Jameson pointed out. She glared at him. “Oh, sorry. I forgot y'all are weird about stuff like that". He muttered. “I'll go watch a movie or something". She stood. “Please entertain her well. You were all she could talk about before she got here". She said as she walked out of the room. “Jenn!". I scolded. “Love you too". She yelled back. “Soon they'll be making babies or something". She muttered. “What's with her?" Jameson asked me, his expression a mix of confusion and amusement. “She's squeamish". I replied. She was, technically. “I see". He replied. He sat. “So", he smiled wickedly. “Were you really talking about me?" I blushed. “She was exaggerating". “Was she?" He asked his smile growing wider. “She was". I looked away from his eyes. He was quiet for too long, and I looked back at h

TATIANA'S POV The tub of ice cream dropped on the ground before I got to my car, but I ignored it. I felt the unknown woman's gaze like spiders on my skin as I drove away, well over the speed limit. I had no idea why I felt so creeped out by her, I just knew I did. She felt very dangerous, her smile was like something out of a horror movie. I wouldn't have been surprised, if she had pulled out a knife to stab me there, with that smile still on her face. My phone rang, jarring me, and the car swerved slightly as I fumbled with the steering. When the car righted I picked up the phone, peering through the rear view mirror at the car behind me blaring its horn. I picked the call. “Hello". “Pretty girl, where are you?" The voice instantly set me at ease, all the worries about the creepy woman dissolved. “Almost home". I said, smiling. “All right then, I'm waiting". He ended the call. A few minutes later I turned into the driveway. One thing I liked about the

BRANDON'S POV Her scream jolted me, but I still stood rooted as she ran to the bathroom. Part of her neck and her palm was red and she hissed as the water touched her. I remembered her father, and finally moved. I took her palm tenderly and led her away from the water. “I'm sorry". I said remorsefully. She sniffed, wincing in a way that was definitely not entirely true. I sat her on the bed and absent mindedly looked for balm. I found it and applied it on her scalded skin. “I'm sorry". I said again. She whimpered. “I'm sorry I couldn't get the address from my dad. You knew he would not have told me any way". She whimpered again. I blinked blankly at her. “That's why you're mad, isn't it?" “Not everything is about you". I muttered, still rubbing the injury. She pulled her hand away. “You'll rub the skin off". She examined it. “Not like it wouldn't scar anyway." She looked up at me. “Why are you mad then? Was it the message you got?" “Adrian is-" I couldn't fin

CHARLOTTE'S POV The rattling on the window was continous, and Jenn and I huddled in a corner in the kitchen. I wasn't even sure where the sound was coming from, the reverberation made I seem like it came from all the windows and no window at once. “So tonight is the night I die". Jenn whispered. I didn't reply. “I haven't even bought a Siamese cat. Or skateboarded in my underwear. Or worked out consistently for three months. I haven't found love. You don't even know why I hate love". She hated love? “Keep quiet, Jenn". “I'm not going to be silenced now if I'm going to die." She replied. I said nothing. Her next word died out when I pinched her arm, hard and long. She gasped in pain and ripped my hand away. “What the fuck?" She whisper yelled. “Keep quiet, Jenn". I said again. She whimpered and cradled her arm. I listened for the noise again and there was nothing. I imagined the intruder was feeling around the house for an easy way to break in. I won

TATIANA'S POV Brandon still hadn't showed up by the next morning, and I did not mind. It gave me the opportunity to slip out of the house unnoticed, even by Emile. Emile made me nervous, Brandon's interest in her was truly unsettling. And I worried that I'd loose him to her, the same way Charlotte had lost him to me. It was fitting, if I wanted to be honest, that someone took him from me too, the same way I'd taken him from someone else. But I did not believe in Karma. I believed in seeing what I wanted and going for it. And that's exactly what I did with Brandon. I wasn't losing him to a help. I was already obsessed with going out, it was obvious I did not have to do it every day, but I did it anyway. As i turned into the drive way of the small house I'd come to love so much I marvelled, as I always did, at how it could be so small and hold so many pleasures at the same time. I'd never really thought about it, but I realised that it was true when they said that home was about th

BRANDON'S POV “Brilliant of you", she seethed, “To think I would befriend an invalid". I raised a brow. I knew that. The fact that she hadn't figured out that I was trying to bait her showed how important the person was. And that made me all the more curious. “What's wrong with making..." Emile's voice trailed off at my mom's death glare. We hadn't noticed when she came back in. The tray of oranges shook in her hands. I watched my mother closely. Emile had spoken out of turn. She had become used to speaking freely to me. But I was not going to let my mother pick on her. “Mom". I barked when she made to speak. She turned her glare on me. “The oranges are about to fall from her hands". I said calmly. Emile used the distraction to place the oranges on the table and disappear. Smart girl. “Go on". I goaded once Emile was out of sight. “Take the oranges. She's peeled them nicely for you. Go and feed them to your pet". She looked like she was going to explode.
Revenge on My Ex-husband CHAPTER 47
BRANDON'S POV “It was you who put it in my head that Charlotte is the killer, you know". I said without looking at Kareem. I studied some documents my temporary replacement secretary-Ava had taken a compulsory leave a few days earlier without prior notice. Something about a serious emergency somewhere. The usual me would have fired her immediately, no worker under me should have the audacity to be so bold. But I wasn't the usual me these days. All the guys, especially Kareem had noticed and noted it. But I missed Ava's efficiency. This secretary was good, but I was beginning to understand that my secretary's standards were out of this world. “You don't really mean that". Kareem said incredulously. I raised a brow at him. “What? You already had the notions before I even noticed. I basically just confirmed what you already suspected". “Charlotte wouldn't hurt a fly. At least that's what I said. But you led me to believe that the letters she sent were not just e
Revenge on My Ex-husband CHAPTER 46
CHARLOTTE'S POV Never did I believe Jenn could betray me like that. But what did I know? She could be out to ruin whatever was left of me. She had some secrets of her own, none of which I knew at all. She was just there when I needed her, and I welcomed her with open arms despite our past because I needed someone. She was hot one minute, cold the next. I always assumed it was because of the trauma she'd also apparently gone through. But then, she'd also gone through trauma. How did I know that she didn't hate me for it? One had happened while we were both in college and friends. Why did she not tell me? And now this. I wasn't sure I could ever go through with getting rid of a child, foetus or no. I'd thought about everything. But there was the voice in my head that kept telling me that I was probably going too fast again, and every where and everyone would soon be in pandemonium because of me. It was my stupid mistake, going to that place after signing the divorce paper
Revenge on My Ex-husband CHAPTER 45
CHARLOTTE'S POV “Wait, what do you know?" I asked. “The baby. That's why your emotions are everywhere". She said slowly. I frowned. “Yeah... I'm not sure that's why I...well, did that". “She raised her brow. “So you reacted that way on purpose". “No! I mean, that's not-" I scowled. “Are you trying to lead me into a trap?" She laughed. “I'm just telling you what you're trying to ignore". “But you're still mad at me". I said. She nodded. “I am. But I admit my fault. It wasn't my plan to bother anyone." “You're dramatic". I said. She didn't reply. “Jenn?" I said hesitantly, nestling at a corner of the chair she was in. “Do you think I should keep the baby?" Jenn slowly looked up from her book. “Keep the baby?" I nodded. “This is a lot- and I'm so terrified of telling dad and Jameson. Maybe I shouldn't bother telling them at all? I should just get rid of it quietly?" Jenn stared blankly for a full minute, than she went back to
Revenge on My Ex-husband CHAPTER 44
JAMESON'S POV Charlotte and her father ran in to the kitchen less than two second after I'd run in. Jenn was staring at a mess of ketch up and some yellow substance I was too distressed to study. And she looked more shocked at our presence than in any real danger. “Oh God". Jenn groaned. “What is the matter? Are you all right, Jennifer?" Mr Schnapp asked. I couldn't help my own facepalm. “She's all right dad". Jenn replied. “Is she? Are you?" He asked again. I turned back before he could take that step I knew he was going to take forward. “She's all right. Jenn tends to be...dramatic". I nodded at him. He raised his brows at me. That did not sound like dramatic". “It is, trust me". I glanced at Charlotte. She was glaring daggers at Jenn. I needed her to take her father away so I could properly berate Jenn. “Is everything all right over here?" The stern voice of one of the staff echoed. He gasped as soon as he saw Mr Schapp. “What do y
Revenge on My Ex-husband CHAPTER 43
CHARLOTTE'S POV Dad silently led the way to his office. It was hard to believe that he blamed himself for our mistakes. It was true he never called while I was at Brandon's house, but I never did either. And I assumed he was angry with me for going against his wishes. Just like everyone else around me, I couldn't see the reason they disliked Brandon, even though they said it constantly. I just felt like he was constantly vicimized for being extraordinary smart and clever. There were a lot of things I didn't see. He could hardly be blamed for the kind of person Tatiana turned out to be, either. He did his best, I could remember clearly. “I asked Lounge to tell you to contact her. Did he?" He asked My traitorous cheeks heated for no reason. “Umm, he did". I said, not meeting his eyes. “Charlotte?" He asked. I peeked up at him. “Is there anything I should know?" I shook my head hard, once. “Nothing". He tilted his head. “Nothing?" “Nothing, s

CHARLOTTE'S POV “Oh my God, I can't believe I'm seeing this place again". I said, stepping out of the car and stretching. Jenn gave me a weird look. “You did not think so. You thought you were going to die?" I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, I did". “I don't understand why you think that way". Jameson said, wrapping an arm around my waist and leading me forward. “I did say you'd be safe, didn't I?" I automatically leaned into him. “I didn't think I was going to die. I just...I guess I thought I was in too much shit to come back home". He smiled down at me. “I understand. But you're home now". I nodded mutely, sagging more into him. “This is just giving Shrek and Fiona vibes here". Jenn quipped behind us. I automatically straightened, wiping my hands down my front. Jameson glanced at me with a strange expression, but said nothing. Instead, he turned back to Jenn. “I'm more of a Prince Charming than a Shrek, you know". She coughed lightly. “Exc
Revenge on My Ex-husband CHAPTER 41
TATIANA'S POV “They know who the killers are?" He said as soon as I dropped the phone. I blinked at him, taken off guard. It looked like I'd put the call on loudspeaker without realising it. He knew almost everything anyway. “That's what she said". He was focused on my foot, although he wasn't touching it at all. He seemed to be in deep thought. “But I thought it was just one killer". I cocked my head, thinking about it too. “Well, I thought so too, but...apparently they're more?" “What did Brandon say? Did he also talk about multiple killer killers?" He asked urgently, his gaze suddenly on me and intense. “No. I don't know? He doesn't tell me much, and last I heard, he said Charlotte is the killer". I watched him. “What's it?" He said nothing, only stared into space. I started to feel anxious. “Jonah?" He didn't reply. “Jonah!" He startled visibly. His face contorted in something like anger, but for only a second. He looked at me. “I'm sorry love.
Revenge on My Ex-husband CHAPTER 40
CHARLOTTE'S POV “Do you need a mega phone?" Jenn whispered in my ear on the way out of the house. “So we can announce to the world that you're growing a baby". I pinched her in the side, hard. It wasn't my fault that there was a lot going on at the time, or that I seemed to be suddenly different. It all felt natural any way. I didn't even notice that I was eating too much. I was just hungry. And people eat when they're hungry. Apparently I was suddenly angry way too frequently, and it wasn't normal. I was also weird that my nose was sensitive, and little things made me nauseous. It was also abnormal to Jenn, who was glaring daggers at me, that I wasn't puking my guts up. Apparently-okay I knew that-that's what newly pregnant women do. I'd always wanted kids, even though Brandon didn't. I always wanted a little version of him that I'd teach to walk and write, and I'd teach him sums and the piano, what little I knew of it. It was heartbreaking when I realized he wa
