The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Conversation
“You did what?!” Derek thundered, unable to believe his ears. “Calm down, okay? It was the best thing to do. I mean, it would be easy to see Barry often, and if you were busy and maybe his nanny was busy too or something, I could easily pop in and watch him.” Denise defended herself. “Oh, come off it. You’ve never shown even the slightest interest in caring for that child right from when he was born.” “That’s part of the change I was talking about. The whole events of the past month had me realizing how fickle life is and how one needs to let go of every bitterness, enjoy the little things in life and all that because it can all be taken away in an instant.” “I didn’t peg you for a motivational speaker,” Derek told her sardonically. “I’m not one. Anyway, I want to be as involved in Barry’s upbringing as possible. The fact that you’re even willing to accept him despite everything … makes me realize what a horrible person I’ve been.” Denise said, casting her eyes downward and r
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge BACK IN TIME
“Hmmm. I’m not surprised. I’ve tried my best to get her help, but she doesn’t want any help, and I can't force her until she decides that she wants to be helped on her own. That doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen anytime soon.” Derek was saying.“Yeah, I don’t think so too.” Denise agreed.Before either of them could say anything else, there came the sound of a wheelchair approaching Derek’s room. A few seconds later, the door, which was already ajar was pushed open, and Amanda’s maid wheeled her into the room.The maid looked flustered as hell, as though she would rather be anywhere else but there, but she dutifully greeted Derek and Denise, and then stood aside, looking extremely uncomfortable.Amanda’s foot, where she had been shot, was heavily bandaged, and she looked really terrible. In fact, she looked far worse than Derek, who had been through hell in those woods long before she surfaced there.“You asshole!” She screamed at him the minute she entered the room fully.“It’s
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge TWO SURPRISE VISITS
After Derek had spent two weeks in the hospital, Barry was finally well enough to see him. Denise and Barry’s nanny brought the child, who was discharged from the hospital the week before, to visit Derek. They did not tell Derek that they were going to bring Barry over, so it was a pleasant surprise when the door opened and all three came in, bearing identical smiles that showed how happy they were to have been able to surprise Derek. “Daddy!” Barry yelled happily as soon as he sighted his father, struggling to come down from his nanny’s arms. One glance at the boy, and Derek knew that it didn’t matter that Denise had confessed to him that he wasn’t Barry’s biological father. He did not care to know who Barry’s biological father was because there was no point in knowing. As far as he was concerned, Barry was his son and it was going to be that way until the very end. The nanny helped Barry up into the hospital bed, where he hugged his father for a long time, refusing to let g
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Back in the day
Derek did not want to go to college. As a matter of fact, he did not see any reason why he had to. All he wanted was to work in his Dad’s company, which his Dad had promised to leave to him someday. He already knew nearly everything there was to know about the company.However, his Dad was hell-bent on him furthering his education. Derek loved his Dad very much and loved to make his Dad proud of him, and so, here he was in one of the most prestigious colleges in the country.Gaining admission into the college had been very easy because Derek was something of a genius and once he put his mind to something, he always achieved it.On the first day of college, he did not make any friends, and then on the second day of college, his roommate arrived. One look at the guy and Derek knew that he was serious trouble.The guy looked Derek up and down and sneered without offering a greeting, and neither did he reply to Derek’s greeting. He was dressed in worn and faded clothes and his luggage loo
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Proud
BACK IN THE DAYIt turned out that Steve was very much interested in being friends, but just afraid to show it because he was afraid of being rejected.“No, I was fine. I just had some shifts to cover before I resumed school fully. If I don’t complete them, I won't get paid, you know?” Steve replied to Derek’s question.No, Derek didn’t know, as he had never had to work in his life, and neither had Damien, but of course, neither of them told Steve that.They struck up a conversation, and before Derek knew it, they were all laughing and conversing with each other as though they had known themselves for a very long time.Derek was relieved, because he did not want a belligerent person for a roommate, and he had every plan of staying in the dorm during his first year in college, at least.The three fast became good friends, with Derek and Steve being even closer to themselves than Damien was to them since they were roommates.Derek found out that Steve and his twin, Dave, had both run aw
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Nervous
Ava was nervous as hell. She sat stoically beside Steve as he drove the two of them to Derek’s house, neither of them talking much to each other as they were both lost in thought.Derek had finally been released from the hospital, and some of the more important people who had worked on the last project had been selected to go pay him a courtesy visit.Needless to say, Steve and Ava were among those who were selected. She was both the producer and screenwriter of the just concluded movie, while Steve was the lead actor in it, plus they both used to have a relationship with him, so it was common sense that they go.Ava supposed that the both of them could have refused to go, but that would have been in bad taste. Besides, she had decided to tell him about the daughter that they had together.This visit presented the perfect opportunity for her to tell him since she had no wish to have such a conversation with him in an intimate setting with no one around them.“Are you alright?” Steve a
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Goofy
BACK IN THE DAYSeveral days had passed after Ava blurted out those unthinkable words ‘I would like to get married to you’ to Derek, and everything had gone back to normal.She had stopped cringing so badly each time she thought about the embarrassment that she felt after saying those words to him.Derek hadn't brought up the topic since then, and in fact, Ava began to think that he had all but forgotten about it, since he continued to act with her as he usually did, without his behavior changing in the slightest. It was a huge relief.Today, she was reading a book while they both sunbathed on the patio because Derek felt that he was getting too pale and needed some fresh air, and as a matter of fact, so did Ava.Suddenly, she felt eyes on her and when she looked up, she realized that he was staring intently at her. Ava felt herself blush but held his gaze, wondering what he was thinking. “Do your parents live in this city?” He asked her a second later, surprising her because he hard
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Agreement
At first, Ava thought that Derek was joking about the marriage thing, but soon, she realized that he was actually very serious about it.She began to doubt if that was really what she wanted. Did she really want to get married to a man who just wanted a wife and wasn’t in love with her in the sense of the word?She was not delusional enough to think that Derek was in love with her. What was their marriage going to be like? Did he want kids? Her traitorous heart wanted to be with him very much, but her brain kept telling her that her love for him was not enough.“I don’t know what to say to that.” She said, at last, a little uneasily.“I have made you uncomfortable.” He stated.“No, of course not. I’m just confused. If you want to get married to anyone, why did you choose me?”“Because we both like each other. In fact, I think in your case, it’s probably more than that. Isn't that true?” Derek asked her. She remained quiet, but her silence was answer enough.“Of course, you can take yo

“It was by sheer luck, if not, they never would have found you on time, and what would have happened then does not bear thinking about. Apparently, they managed to arrest the guy that Amanda initially hired to do all this sometime yesterday.Once the asshole realized that there was no chance in hell that he would get out of this and that he was well and truly done for, he began to sing like a canary. He led the police right to the house, and the rest, as they say, is history. I'm so thankful we got there on time.” Damien said.“Yeah, me too. It’s still hard to believe that Amanda could be filled with so much hate in her heart and that she was willing to go to such lengths to harm Derek, me, and even our child who has done nothing to her.”“I was surprised as well. I always knew that she was a mean person, but I never imagined that she was downright evil. I'm glad you followed through on your instinct.”“Me too. So is Amanda still …” Ava asked, unable to finish the question.“Unfortuna
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Tantrum
Mother and daughter hugged each other for what felt like decades, and when they finally pulled apart, Ava's arm was hurting where she had been shot."I'm so sorry, baby. No one will ever hurt you again, I promise. Not when I'm alive." Ava said, ruffling Harper's hair, and wincing when she saw where the area on her head that had been shaved because of an injury there."The bad woman hit me with a gun. She shot Uncle Steve with the gun. Uncle Steve wanted to run away with me and Gracie, Mom." Harper explained, noting that Ava's eyes were on the wound.Ava gulped and averted her gaze immediately, unable to imagine the horror that Harper and Gracie had been through. Little children like them should never have to see someone murdered in cold blood.Seeing such a thing messed with even grownups like her, not to talk of children.The girls were going to need loads of therapy. Once again, Ava damned Amanda and Denise to hell and back in her mind. Suddenly, she realized the implications o
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Reunion
Ava had grabbed Denise because she wanted to use her as a human shield, and her plan worked pretty well, as it was all that saved her from what would have been certain death.The bullets that Amanda had just fired hit Denise point blank and in rapid succession. She died quickly, although the other two women didn’t know it yet.Ava felt Denise’s body jerk with the force of the shots at the same time that she saw Amanda crumple to the ground as though in slow motion.That was confusing, and Ava stared at her in surprise, unable to fathom what had just happened.She glanced down at Denise, whom she still held, and who was clearly very dead, and let go of her body immediately, feeling extremely sickened.She needed to focus on not getting killed, which was what Amanda was bent on doing to her.Amanda was trying to get back up, but before she could manage to do that, someone tackled her, and hit the gun out of her hand,Within moments, policemen swarmed the room, and Ava collapsed in relie
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Crazy
Denise and Ava stared warily at each other after Amanda left the room, and a few seconds later, Ava decided to try to reason with the other woman, even though she wasn’t sure that Denise was going to listen to her. “Denise, please, let us go. I promise not to press charges against you. You must know from all indications that there’s no way the both of you are going to get out of this unscathed. It doesn’t matter what Amanda says now. I can see in your eyes that you know it.” Ava tried to get to Denise. It was all she could do not to rush straight at Denise and grab Harper, who was whimpering in fear and trying not to move so that the knife would not nick her, away from the woman. She could see the fear and indecision in Denise’s face. Apparently, she was wise to realize what Amanda clearly failed to realize, which was that Ava was right and there was no way she and Amanda going to get out of this without being apprehended by the police. “Shut up!” Denise muttered. “Think abou
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A tense atmosphere
Ava didn’t wait to see what would happen next. She rushed straight at Amanda, faintly aware that her arm was hurting weirdly, but her adrenaline was too great for her to think anything of the pain right then. She had taken self-defense classes several times in the past, and although it had been a long time since she took them, those classes came in handy at that moment. Her life, as well as those of Harper and the other little girl, Gracie, depended on her. She couldn't let them down. She began to try to wrestle the gun away from Amanda, who struggled fiercely with her. As they struggled with the gun, it kept discharging, but by some miracle, neither of them was hit. Finally, the gun was out of bullets, and Amanda let go of it while yelling for Denise to come at the same time. Ava wasn’t done with her, though. She thought of poor Harper and her friend who were somewhere in that house, scared to death and definitely not in the best shape. She thought about Derek, who had been throug
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Gunshot
Adrenaline pumped through Ava’s entire body, and utter rage filled her entire being. She was right! She had been right all along. These evil women were the ones who had abducted her daughter and another innocent child. She would have called for help, but there was no service on her phone, and she could only hope that Damien and the police would be somehow able to find her and soon too, before something bad happened to her or the girls. Had it been she had thought things through earlier, she would have gotten a car tracker before coming on this solo adventure. Unfortunately, never in her wildest dreams had she imagined what the night would bring, and so she had failed to take this necessary precaution. One moment, she was standing outside the house in fear, and the next moment, she found herself beside the door. Without caring what was waiting on the other side of the door, she threw herself against it as hard as she could. She thought fleetingly of the poor soul that was growing in
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A scream in the night
Ava didn’t go back home after driving away from Denise’s place. Instead, she parked her car the next block away from Denise’s house in a spot where her car would not easily be detected.Then she waited for what felt like an eternity for Denise to leave her house because she had every intention of following the woman to wherever it was that she was going.Her phone was blowing up with calls from Damien, who had left her several messages, asking her not to do anything drastic that could cause Denise to have the power to get her arrested or something.She ignored the messages and continued to wait. After a while, she saw a car, which she recognized as one of Amanda’s cars, come from the opposite direction and drive towards Denise’s house.Ava’s heart immediately began to beat really fast. Amanda was picking Denise up? Where the hell were both of them headed by that time of the night? Several minutes later, the car appeared again and drove off into the night.Ava let a few minutes pass, a
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A surprise visit
Ava sat in her idling car outside Denise’s house, her nerves failing her now that she was here.What was she thinking, sneaking out of her house like a thief in the night and coming here to the house of her sworn enemy?She just couldn't continue to sit at home, wringing her hands and crying while waiting for something positive to happen.She wasn’t sure what to do now that she was here, but she had to do something.Taking a deep breath, she took her phone and texted Damien to tell him where she was, just in case somehow, her hunch was right.If it was, then it would be incredibly dangerous and foolhardy to just walk into Denise’s waiting arms without telling anyone where she was.Even though it was only a little past eight in the evening, the streets were deserted, and there was no one around.Ava was about to open her car door and get out of the car when the lights in Denise’s house went off. Apparently, she was preparing to go to sleep.Ava sat still for a few minutes, wondering wh
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A bad feeling
It had been several days since Amanda and Denise paid their so-called courtesy call to Ava at her house … a move that Denise thought was incredibly stupid and dangerous.After all, the three women weren't friends and all of their acquaintances knew that, so it was surely going to look weird and suspicious that Denise and Amanda decided to visit Ava.Unfortunately, once Amanda put her mind to something, especially in recent times, it was practically impossible to change her mind, and so Denise had no choice but to go along with whatever she wanted, even if she thought it was foolhardy.“I’ve got a bad feeling, Amanda,” Denise said.“About what?” Amanda, who was in a terribly foul mood asked.It was now common knowledge that Derek had not only survived the gunshots but had also gone on to regain consciousness. Ever since this news broke out, Amanda had been unconsolable and had even taken out her frustration on Derek’s daughter, whom she still held captive.“I don’t know … I’ve got a ba
