“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?
View MoreCHAPTER 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 We've all withdrawn our shares.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 86 WE'RE WITHDRAWING OUR SHARES“Follow me,” Grey instructed the secretary as soon as he stepped out of his office. Marching towards the conference room, his mind kept racing, conceiving different thoughts regarding the urgent meeting. When he entered, all the members were seated with their faces tight up in a frown. From their expression, he can tell that the urgent meeting must have been arranged due to a pressing ugly event. “Good morning, everyone. I'm sorry for coming late,” he said apologetically as he sat down while his secretary stood beside him. “You don't need to apologize, Mr. Grey. We were the ones that organized the meeting without your consent, so we should be the ones apologizing instead,” one of the men said courtly. “Alright. So to what do I owe this important invitation from my dear shareholders? Please, I'll love it if we can conclude the meeting on time so I can get back to the bunch of work on my table.” Grey said with a polite tone as he rolled his
CHAPTER 85 HAPPENING TOO FAST “Fuck!” Grey screamed, breathing under his nostrils. He ran his hands over his head as he paused and placed a hand on his waist. “What the hell is going on? Why are all these things happening to me!” He lamented, and before he knew it, his vision was getting blurred as tears clung to his lashes. Immediately, he hopped into his car and headed straight to the rehabilitation center. Since the day Cynthia was taken there, he had never bothered stepping his feet there to pay her a visit. “What the hell is going on?” he rambled inwardly after waiting at the reception for more than thirty minutes since when the nurse promised to inform him. Cynthia has a visitor. “What do we do, doctor? You know how powerful this man is; I'm afraid he might sue us in court if he learns that his wife had escaped!” The nurse explained in panic. “Give me a minute,” ’the doctor said and left with confidence. “D—doctor, is everything okay? How's she doing? Where’s my wife?” G
CHAPTER 84ARE YOU MY EX WIFE Stepping into the Shuns mansion to take a quick shower before going to check on Mark and Elena, Grey felt the vibration of his phone in his pocket. Reluctantly, he tossed his hands and took it out, and seeing the caller ID, his face flushed with a frown before he hissed and rejected the call after seeing that it was the same mysterious number who was calling.“What the fuck! Is this person crazy?” He mumbled to himself furiously when the number kept calling persistently.I think I need to warn whoever is doing this nonsense!” He mumbled and picked up the call with fury when the number called for the twentieth time.“Are you crazy or something? In fact, who the hell do you think you are to make me waste precious time just because I was stupidly waiting for you? You know what, you're just lucky that I don't know your address or anything about you; if not, I swear, I'll do everything in my power to find you and make sure that you're well dealt with! Nonsens
CHAPTER 83FINDING THE REAL CULPRIT “What do we do now, boss?” Mark asked Grey after a while of silence. He has never seen Grey in a dark and unexplainable mood like this. Only the terror in his eyes would be enough to smear one alive.Grey remained silent. Everything sounded unbelievable to him.“Boss, I'm still waiting for your response. What action would you like to take?” Mark asked again.With deadly bloodshot eyes, he peered into Mark's eyes and took a deep breath. “You know how best to handle this situation, right? Just make sure you don't take into consideration any relation that I and the woman shared. Deal with her accordingly,” Grey instructed and zoomed off with few words.At the Sims mansion, Elena was seated on the couch, drenched in tears as she held a frame of Cynthia in her hands while she thought of how life had turned against what she planned.“Don't worry, you'll soon be fine,” she mouthed to herself before jolting out of her thoughts when the door flung ope
CHAPTER 82THE UNEXPECTED As he approached the large building, which he recently bought with the intention of turning it into his second warehouse, Grey could hear the loud scream of an adult who was being tortured.“But I told him not to do anything to the culprit unless I see him myself,” he mouthed to himself with furrowed brows as he walked in.Soon his phone rang, causing him to halt his steps to check the caller ID before proceeding. He was reluctant at first to pick up the call, but when he thought of how important the caller is in his journey of life, he had no choice but to pick up the call.“Hello, ma'am Elena,” he said with a calm voice after heaving a sigh of relief.“Yes, Grey. I just wanted to know if you've found the culprit behind the burning of your warehouse. And if you need any help, please don't hesitate to put me in the know,” the woman's concerned voice echoed from the other end of the phone.Grey sighed and rolled his eyes before giving a reply, “Investigations
CHAPTER 81DYING OF DEPRESSION “Hey, is everything okay? ” Lila asked, feigning concern the moment Grey dropped the call.“Yeah, fine. Everything is okay,” he said with a twitch. Grey sighed heavily, trying to conceal his heartbreak in a mild smile but the sad look on his face was too evident to deceive even a blind man.“Oh, thank God, our food is here. Trust me, you'll like their meal, because I've been eating here often, and I can say with confidence that this is one of the best places to eat out,” Lila commented as soon as the waitress served their order and left.With her eyes fixed on the plate before her but obliquely gazing at Grey, she unwrapped her cutleries and began eating, but was surprised to see that Grey hasn't made any attempt of tasting his food.“Mr. Shun, you don't seem to be okay. I'm sorry, this might seem as if I'm prying into your personal life but you don't expect me to believe that everything is fine with you,” she insisted.Grey was still speechless with d
CHAPTER 80CAN WE MEET?“Hi, can we meet?” Grey woke up with confusion to the beep-beep sound of his phone with Lila's message.Huh? His brows furrowed in surprise.All efforts to rack his brain and figure out the possible reason behind their meeting were unyielding.Could it be that she's suing us in court for attempted murder? But the message looks rather harmless. He thought to himself, and without hesitation, his hands quickly typed, ‘Sure, we can,’ followed by the send button.“Perfect!” Lila exclaimed, and immediately, she texted him the time and address. “Good morning, sir,” the maids and the security guards at the gate greeted Grey as he left for work. But unlike the usual Grey who'd answer nicely and ask them about their night, he only glared at them with bloodshot eyes.Every domestic staff member was familiar with that reaction from him, which mostly occurs like thrice or four times a year.Anyone who has worked in the Shun's mansion need not be told what their master is c
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...
