Finally, after helping Avanna with the money and returning from seeing the First Lady, I knew it was time to launch my first revenge on Tyler like a silent storm brewing on the horizon, ready to unleash its fury upon an unsuspecting coastline.How dare he break my heart into pieces, and he has the gut to also run from his responsibility to be a father to the woman he impregnated? I knew deep down that if he didn’t learn his lessons the hard way, he would hurt more women, and I would not allow that.In my mind, "I would be the last woman he breaks her heart, and Avanna would be the last woman to shed tears because he used her."Quickly, I called, “Robert!” As I called Robert, he answered as if he were a faithful guardian, always waiting in the wings to heed my beck and call. And as with this, he stepped right through the door into my home office.“Yes, ma’am!” He answered respectfully with a bow, and I said, “Send a letter to my former address. Tell him we will have a nice dinner toni
As Tyler sat on the comfortable leather sofa, I picked up my glass of wine from the glass table separating us and took a gentle sip. Of course, I saw the excitement still written on Tyler’s face as I took that gentle sip. To him I looked beautifully different. I mean, how couldn’t I? I was dressed in a long gown with a strapped arm. I was stylish like a model on the runway and as beautiful as the queen goddess herself. “You... you... look beautiful, Alda,” he stammered. He was afraid to say the word, which immediately made me smirk gently at the tip of my lips. I took a side look at Robert, which he understood immediately. Understanding what I meant, Robert took one step forward, then bent slowly down towards the glass and served Tyler a glass of wine from the same bottle as mine. I saw the smile written buoyantly on his face the instant Robert began to pour wine into the glass. I could tell what was going through his mind. However, if that were to be the case, he would only decei
Sometimes, the hunter becomes the hunted, and the hunter may not even know about this until he is suddenly attacked by the hunted in his most unconscious state.This was what Tyler did not know. He did not realize that his intentions were as glaring as a mirror that could never keep a secret. Hence, with every thought of his, I could read it on his face. Every dreamy desire about my wealth, I could see in his eyes.How dare he think that after all he did to me, I would easily give him a chance to get back with me? He must have thought I am so daft that I would make the same mistake twice.However, it was my time for revenge, and it is okay to let him think that he has a chance with me.The moment we were done at the VIP section and I had the chauffeur drive him back home using the same limousine that brought him, Tyler slept happily that night.Like a child who was promised a new iPhone 15 Pro Max, he smiled throughout his sleep until the next morning, and without a doubt, he would ha
With what Mr Reynolds had said, Tyler complied immediately and located the recommended Tax advisor Mr. Reynold had referred him to. And just with this, as he stepped into the tax advisor’s office, Tyler saw that it was a spacious and elegant room adorned with dark mahogany furniture. The walls were lined with bookshelves filled with thick volumes on tax codes, financial regulations, and legal precedents. A large oak desk dominated the center of the room, behind which sat the tax advisor, a distinguished-looking gentleman with silver hair and sharp, attentive eyes. The desk was meticulously organized, with stacks of paperwork neatly arranged alongside a sleek computer monitor displaying complex financial charts and graphs. A plush leather armchair sat in front of the desk, inviting Tyler to take a seat. Soft light filtered in through the windows, casting a warm glow over the room and highlighting the rich, earthy tones of the wood-paneled walls. The air was filled with the faint sce
“Hello everyone. My name, as you may already know, is Tyler Harrington, and I am the owner of this home.” Tyler began his speech immediately, his mouth almost kissing the microphone on the stage, and his hand rested on the stand on which the microphone was seated.In the same manner, the press stretched forth their different microphones, and flashes of light decorated the whole place as if a world celebrity were giving an honorary speech.“The purpose of this event is as seen right in my background, which of course is self-explanatory. I am making a donation of this beautiful house to charity. This is coming from a place of willingness and a way that I give back to society.”“While I was coming on the stage, some reporters asked loudly, and I heard them loud and clear about why I am donating this house to charity and if my ex-wife knew about this donation, among other questions. I will answer them right away.”“The reason for me donating this precious house to charity, precisely the o
"Though I do not like to answer this question while I am being recorded and I know everybody is watching right now, for the sake of the purpose of this event, I will answer. Yes, Matriarch Alessandra and I are getting back together as the good and loving couple that we used to be.”Even when Tyler had not pointed to any reporter to ask his or her question yet, a sudden question popped out from the same reporter who asked the question earlier.“You said 'loving couple' as you used to be, right? If you were that loving couple, why then did you divorce her?”“Well, in different marriages, people divorce for so many reasons. For some couples, it could be because the husband's workload is too much and the wife always complains. For other couples, it could be that the husband does not give the wife attention. Another couple may divorce because of a financial crisis and...“Mr. Harrington, it seems as though you are running from the question. And for this, I will ask again,” the same reporte
The next morning came, and I was ready to visit the orphanage home, inspired by how CEO Harshit had thanked me on TV the evening before. In this sense, I was dressed in a sophisticated ensemble that exuded elegance and grace.I wore a tailored cream-colored pantsuit crafted from luxurious silk, its clean lines accentuating my slender figure. The fitted blazer, adorned with delicate gold buttons, added a touch of refinement to my outfit.Under the blazer, I donned a soft lavender blouse, its gentle hue complementing my complexion with a subtle hint of femininity.My accessories were understated yet tasteful, with a delicate gold necklace gracing my neckline and matching earrings adorning my ears. A slender gold bracelet adorned my wrist, adding a subtle sparkle to my ensemble. My hair was swept back into an elegant chignon, held in place by a stylish hair clip adorned with shimmering crystals.Likewise, my choice of footwear was both chic and practical. I opted for nude patent leather
Just like CEO Harshit said, one of the ladies behind her bowed to me and said, “Ma’am, please walk with me.”Just as she said this, she began to walk forward in another direction, different from the one that led to the front door. Hence, we began to walk in a dark corridor until we met the light and found ourselves in the garden.The garden in the orphanage was not really a garden, as the word had depicted it. Instead, I could see right from the start that it was a name given to one of the living rooms where the orphanage children could play.In this room, I saw toys of different sizes and colors scattered on the floor. I observed drawings of happy children on the walls and various sofas and flowers in jars and vases, making the room even more beautiful.I had not waited for more than two seconds in the room when the same lady who led me in bowed to me again, saying, “The children will be here at any moment, ma’am.”As she said this, it seemed as though the children heard her. They em
