“I'm done with you, Lila; you and I know that there's no chemistry between us.” Grey Shun, the CEO of Bintex Ltd., one of the leading textile companies in the city of New York, told Lila Sims with his face devoid of any remorse. Lila Sims has been living in depression since the first day of her three-year-old marriage. She had done all she could to please Grey, but the more she tried, the more she kept getting depressed. Young, talented, and beautiful career woman, Lila Sims gave up everything for the sake of her marriage with Grey, turning her into a shadow of herself. A marriage she worked hard to keep moving ended like a flash of light on a day she least expected—her twenty-fifth birthday dinner! Lila Sims was ready to accept the divorce in good faith and let go of everything, until she discovered Grey's mystery mistress, who has been the cause of her misery in marriage. She vouch to take her revenge to the fullest. Lila conspired with Brian, Grey's ex-rival, to ruin Grey's life, but Brian wants more from her; he wants a relationship with her. Will Lila risk her heart for love again to get her revenge the way she planned, or will she give up on her revenge plans to avoid being heartbroken a second time?

Did he travel?” Ethan asked with an inquisitive look while having breakfast with his mother.Lila took a deep breath before giving a reluctant reply to the curious little boy.“He didn't travel, Ethan, just that he has been busy at work recently,” she answered with a twitch.“So, what about Mr. Grey? Did you love him? Or—is he?”“Come on, Ethan.” Lila interrupted.“You don't need to talk while eating. Please, observe some table manners.” She reprimanded him, scaring the little boy.A few minutes later, little Ethan couldn't hold his silence anymore when he heard the persistent knocking on the door while his mother had left for the kitchen.“Mother, I think Mr. Grey is at the door,” he said.With a broad smile as she opened the door, Lila's brows furrowed with a fading smile at the sight of the unexpected figure at the door.“What are you doing here, Brian?” She asked with a frown while blocking his
CHAPTER 94IN LOVE AGAIN Without hesitation, Grey stood up and rushed over to the passenger's side and joined her in the car.“W–what are you trying to do, Grey?”Lila questioned as her brows furrowed in confusion.Fixing his innocent eyes on her as he placed his palms on her hand while she held the steering wheel, his soft whispers made her numb at the moment.“Please, can you permit me to do Ethan's paternity test for a second time? I don't mind if you make a suggestion for the hospital of your choice,” he said calmly. The only response she could give was an unexplainable gesture in silence as she stuttered.“Grey, I—I don't think…”“Please, just this favor, and I'll be off your neck with disturbance,” Grey interrupted as he figured her response was going in the negative direction.Before she could utter another word, he was gradually leaning in as his hand met her cheek, and a warm whisper of his breath crashed against her skin until their lips met in a passionate, tender, and fier
CHAPTER 93 REUNION SPARKLING “What—did—you—just—say?” Lila's brows furrowed as she uttered those ceasing words. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, leaving her with no choice but to get a good parking space and stop. Her eyes were suddenly turning fierce as she stepped out of the car and leaned on it. With a fixed and bitter look at Grey, she lowered her head and wrapped her hands around her chest. “Ghmmm…ghmmmm…” She cleared her throat. “If you don't mind, Mr. Grey, can you repeat exactly what you said while I was in the car?” She asked, peering her inquisitive eyes on him. “What phrase didn't you understand, Lila? I simply asked why Ethan was proven not to be my son, yet you gave birth to him just nine months after our divorce. So, tell me, are you a harlot or just some chronic cheat who …” Slap!!! “How dare you come to my house and accuse me of some nonsense infidelity, Grey?” She cut his statement short as her hands met his cheeks with a resounding slap. “So, yo
CHAPTER 92 THE DNA TEST “Mr. Brian, do you know that man? And why did we even come to the hospital, by the way?” Little asked with an inquisitive look after they left the hospital.Without a second thought, Brian answered wittily. “Sure, he's a friend, and—I actually wanted to see a doctor friend of mine, but unfortunately, he seems not to be on duty today.” Brian explained, convincingly and confusingly, to the little boy at the same time. “But—I think I know that man somewhere. He has once been to our house,” Ethan added. “What? No way!” Brian answered with furrowed brows. His mind began to race that the boy might tell his mother about meeting with Grey at the hospital. “I know who you are talking about, but this one is entirely a different person. In fact, he just returned from overseas yesterday. Probably, I think it should just be a resemblance, okay?” Brian explained, and the boy nodded. “Remember, every individual in this life has a lookalike somewhere he or she does
CHAPTER 91Brian returned to his house early in the morning so that he could get ready for work. Sitting in the dining room while sipping a cup of tea, he heard a knock on his door. “Come in,” he said without hesitation, believing that it could be Lila, because most times she does pass by the house before she proceeds to her office, which is just a few miles away. “Lila, I thought…” he paused when he heard a masculine voice greeting. “You, what are you doing here?” Brian said with an agitating frown. “Calm down, man. I'm only here for peace, so no need for the violent attack.” Grey, he said softly as he moved closer. “Well, you have a nice apartment.” He said as he rolled his eyes around the corners of the room. “I know that already. Can you just go straight to the point? I've got a lot of things to do .” Brian said rudely. “Alright. The thing is… I'm here for a favor, which I need so desperately from you.” Grey mentioned and paused to take a deep breath. “I… I saw Lila with a
CHAPTER 90HE KNOWS ALREADY. “Ethan, I said you should go inside. Don't worry, I'll explain everything to you once I'm done,” Lila said casually as she tried to avoid the little boy's question with a convincing peck on his cheek, but Ethan's smartness won't let him fall for her trick easily.“Come on, Ethan, have you forgotten that you have some homework to do? Let's get it done before your tutor comes.” Aunt Kendy convinced him when she saw the boy's hesitation to leave.“Answer my question, Lila. Whose son is he?” Grey insisted as his countenance began to turn unfriendly.“I don't owe you any explanations for the paternity of my son, Mr. Greyshun. Besides, where are your two daughters?” Lila responded with a straight face.Her hesitation made Grey's stomach churn. “Could it be that she was pregnant before the divorce?” he mouthed to himself. “Fine, I'll let that be. So what about the burning down of the warehouse? The condemnation of Cynthia's dress at the party? The cajoling of m
CHAPTER 89 IS THAT MAN MY FATHER? “Where is she?” Grey asked with a disgruntled look. “W—where is who?” Aunt Kendy replied wittily, putting up a look of confusion on her face. “Where is Lila, ma'am Kendy? Stop pretending as if you don't know what I'm talking about!” Grey retorted, his voice rising to a higher pitch at every word she uttered. “Look, Mr. Grey, I still don't know what you are talking about. Have you started going insane? How can you barge into my house and start asking me questions about the same woman you betrayed and sent to her early grave?” Aunt Kendy ranted, threatening to call the police on him if he didn't disappear from her door. Her words sent a chill down his spine. Instantly, a wave of guilt blew over him. Every day of his life since the departure of Lila, he had been secretly living with that guilt of being the root cause of her death. Even though he never loved her, Cynthia has been unable to fill that space that she left. “Oh, are you still stan
CHAPTER 88FIND HERJust as planned, Mark ensured that he convinced Grey to dump the old woman on the lonely, secluded streets.Almost suffocating from the dust of the unwashed sacks, Lila wasted no time storming out of the building an hour after the place became silent.“Fuck! I almost got caught! You need to be more careful next time, Lila!” She scolded herself.The ride back to the Shun's mansion lasted for thirty minutes. As soon as they approached the parking lot, Grey's phone began to ring.When he checked the caller ID, he wasted no time in picking it up.Mark's brows slightly furrowed in confusion. For the long time he had known Grey, he had never seen him pick a call from a strange number on that particular phone.“Hey, what's up?” He said that as soon as he picked up the call.“Were you able to trace her?” Her? he asked, his voice filled with curiosity.“Yes, boss. I'll send you pictures of her address now. I don't think that lady is who she made people believe she is.” Th
CHAPTER 87LILA, YOU'RE ALIVE!The message beep sound of her phone jolted her out of sleep. “Everything is done, ma'am. We've all withdrawn our shares. Thanks for the payment.” The voice of the man echoed from the voice note he sent to her.Lila stretched her body as she stumbled out of the bed.In a nick of time, all the dramas that had been happening lately involving the Shun family flooded her head, and she couldn't keep away from smiling.She stood at the large mirror hung on the wall and smiled at how far she had gone with her revenge. Even though she had spent a lot to convince the shareholders to withdraw their shares, it is nothing compared to the accomplishment of her goal.Seeing Grey's face wrapped up with frustration was one thing that gave her the utmost joy.Without hesitation, she drew near the bedside table and grabbed her phone to place a call.“Hey, how's she doing? Is she still breathing?” She asked as soon as the person on the other end of the phone picked up.“Yes,
Chapter 1Divorced on my birthday “Honey, you've not said anything since we got here. You neither compliment my dress nor comment on my food,” Lila said.Grey kept mute, as though she were talking to a ghost, not even lifting his eyes and looking at her.“I suppose today should be my happy day. You brought up the idea of us coming here to spend some time alone, and now you're staring at me without a word? Are we doing a retreat?” Lila was losing patience with the serene environment.“You would have allowed me to party with friends rather than with this attitude you're giving me now.”“Enough of the talk already, Lila!” Grey yelled at her, dropping his spoon on the table.“In fact, I'm done! I'm done with you. You and I know that there's no chemistry between us.” Standing up, he ducked his hands into his pocket, brought out a piece of paper, and handed it over to her.“Ensure you go through those papers and sign the divorce. If there's anything you don't understand, you can contact my...
