“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?

In fact, I don't even know those people!” Elena claimed, feigning innocence with fake tears clinging to her lashes.Amelia's vision began to turn blurry. Everything that had unfolded seemed like a dream to her.“Mrs. Margaret shun, not her mother? Then where the hell did that woman pick her from? She couldn't stop herself from wailing. To discover that her true identity is unknown to her at such an age was something she had never imagined could happen.She stood and watched in tears as her mother was bundled into the police van and taken away like a criminal.Grey's feet became rooted to the spot he was standing. Everything was happening too fast for him to understand.Not done battling with his daughter's
CHAPTER 67ARREST HER. “Security, throw this woman out of this house!” Margret shouted. And the two security guards at the gate rushed to grab Elena by the hand and did as they were ordered.“Are you crazy?” Cynthia yelled after slapping the first security who attempted to lay his hands on her mother.“I don't care who it is that instructed you, but the next time you lay your filthy hands on my mother, I'll make sure that I don't fail my promise of making you rot in jail! Idiot!” Cynthia threatened, forcing the men to let go of Elena's hands.“Mother, maybe you should repeat yourself in simpler terms. I'm sure they're all too dumb to pick sense out of your statement.” She added, sneering at Amelia and Margaret.“Enough of all this nonsense, you daughter of a bitch!” Margret cursed hoarsely.Expecting a cold reaction from Elena, everyone was shocked to see her burst into a brash laugh.“Did you just call me a bitch, Margret?” Elena retorted with a frown and her partly closed eyes.“Wel
CHAPTER 66BACK HOME “I need every detail of the patient in ward 6 before the end of the week. There's something off about that man,” Dr. Lawson instructed the lab scientist before he proceeded to Grey's ward for the morning ward round.“Mr. Grey Shun, you can go home now, but I'll keep you under observation for six months. That means you'll be coming for regular check ups once a week,” the doctor said after close observation of Grey for a few days after regaining his consciousness.“Thank you, doctor,” Grey mentioned and nodded with a smile.“Thank God your health is back to normal now. I think it's time for me to take my leave,” Lila mentioned and waved at Grey, smiling suggestively.The piercing eyes of Cynthia rolled between Grey and Lila. She wanted to see how Grey would react to her goodbye message, but Grey was not naive to Lila's hard-to-get character.“Thanks for everything, Miss Ricks,” Grey said casually after a few seconds of silence while he stared at her flirtatiously.
CHAPTER 65 “Mother, what do you mean by what you just said?” Cynthia demanded calmly.Amelia had her arms crossed on her chest in amazement.Margret glared at Elena, who was running her mouth, causing her to shudder involuntarily.Elena has never seen a woman with such a bitter look in life. Margaret's angry eyes looked as if they could swallow Elena whole if she dared to say anything.“Mother, I just asked you a question that needs an answer!” Cynthia yelled.“Hmmm. Are you talking to me?” Elena asked casually, pretending as if she were lost in some deep thoughts for long.“Of course, she's talking to you,” Amelia cut in.“Please, Mrs. Elena, what did you just say about my mother?” “Oh, y-your mother,” Elena stuttered and smiled suggestively.“I didn't say anything about your mother. If you heard anything, it's probably a slip of the tongue on my side,” Elena defended herself curtly.Lila smiled inwardly but masked her amusement with a stunned expression. She remembered when she ove
CHAPTER 64 A VISIT OF CHAOS“Trust me when I say that I'm not hurt. I know women like Cynthia can be crazy at times, but believe me, they're mostly harmless,” Lila said as she patted Derrick's shoulders with an assuring smile.“Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get some rest. Remember, I just finished donating some blood now,” she said politely and began to walk away.Derrick was not willing to let go of her hands, but she pulled it out by force.“L—Lila,” he called again as he watched her departing back.This time around, Lila was getting pissed off already by his actions. Why did he want to keep her there without any reasonable thing to say? She ignored his call and continued moving, but that didn't stop him from following her again.“Lila, please, let me walk you out and drive you home,” he suggested as soon as he walked up to her.“Besides, you're weak, and I can tell you need some assistance,” he added.“Thanks but no thanks, Derrick. You shou
CHAPTER 63RISING COMPLICATIONS Lila sat on the couch, blowing the hot coffee she had made. Picking up the remote, she turned on the television to watch the morning program of her favorite channel.Scrolling through her phone while waiting for the television to finish processing, her fingers automatically clicked on the HOT NEWS that popped up on her phone.“Popular billionaire Grey Shun faints over his daughter's kidnapping at school!”She froze.Her eyes flinched and ears perked up when the television finally came on, and she heard the newscaster giving a report on the current happenings in the city.She stared triumphantly at the bold black caption at the bottom of the screen. “THE YOUNG MAGNATE, GREY SHUN, IS SAID TO HAVE FAINTED OVER THE REALIZATION OF HIS DAUGHTER'S KIDNAP,”What!Without hesitation, she scrolled through her phone contacts.“Hello, Derrick,” she said as soon as the person on the other end of the phone picked up.“Hello, Derrick, Are you there? Derrick, Derrick, I
CHAPTER 62SET IN OF KARMA “Call the IT department immediately. This has never happened, and it cannot happen now!” Grey instructed.Since the breaking of that news to him, his eyes darkened, and his brain got disoriented. Feigning concern, Cynthia's face assumed a perplexed look as she watched her husband drop his food and begin to pace back and forth in the room. “Honey, please talk to me. Maybe it's something I can help with,” she said with an intricate smile. “Grey! What is it? You can't keep us in suspense like this forever!” His mother asked impatiently. It has been long since she raised a voice at Grey like that, and she jerked him out of a pool of thoughts in silence. Nodding his head, he began, “The website, yeah, the website.”“What happened to the website? You still haven't said anything!” Margret insisted, her heart began to sink in fear, seeing how profusely Grey was sweating even under the fan.“I think the company website has been hacked,” he finally pulled himsel
CHAPTER 61THE ACCOUNT HAS BEEN HACKED. Cynthia couldn't believe what she just heard. How could Grey just blacklist her from all of Shun's establishments? What would now become of her? A poor housewife? Never! She can't sit and watch herself turn into a subject of ridicule by the people around her.“I have to do something and maintain my steez,” she said to herself.“Ho—honey, "I said, Shut up!” Grey cut her words mercilessly and pinned her in place with a dark and menacing gaze. Cynthia was inflamed, but she couldn't snuff out the anger she was feeling, because the anger in Grey's eyes looked like he'd dismember her if she dared to create a fuss. “Can we please meet up tonight? It's urgent.” She grabbed her phone as soon as they reached home and sent a text to Brian. Without hesitation, she sent him the address of the venue.“Why the urgent call? Aren't you supposed to be with your husband by now?” Brian demanded to see Cynthia. She couldn't voice a word but only threw an expre
CHAPTER 60BLACKLIST CYNTHIA Cynthia's feet got stuck on the spot for a few seconds. Everyone was beginning to wonder what could be wrong.She turned, hoping that it was Grey's voice and she'd see him waving at her to stop right there, but she realized it was only a whisper from her weird imaginations as she was only able to be met by his angry eyes glaring at her. His expression was deeply bathed in a dangerous frown that she can't predict the outcome if she fails to comply with the apology conditions.Right behind her, on her left-hand side, she sighted Brian, who winked at her and shook his head as their eyes met.She could read from his expression that he was not in support of her apologizing, but what would be her fate with Grey if she decided to go by what a total stranger wants? Besides, she has not accomplished her mission in the Shun’s family yet.“Miss Ricks, I'm sincerely sorry for what happened yesterday. Please find a place in your heart to forgive me,” Cynthia said a
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...
