The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A visitor
Barry was finally discharged from the hospital after a long period of nearly two weeks. In that span of time, Derek nearly became a shadow of himself.It literally killed him to see the boy suffering so much and so needlessly. Thankfully, this new incident did not cause any complications in his condition. Derek could not help but feel guilty at having been the one to bring all of this upon Barry. Supposing he hadn't turned a blind eye to all the red flags that Denise had shown him in the past all in the name of being in love, then maybe the poor, innocent child would not be going through so much.He had had CCTV cameras installed in different strategic locations in his house so that he could monitor what was going on in there, and if possible, get some evidence against Denise.He’d be damned if he lost access to his son because of her, and he wasn’t above fighting dirty to get what he wanted. In the meantime, Denise had traveled because filming on the set had begun. Her being away w
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Gibberish
"Great! Here we go again.” Derek thought to himself, sighing heavily. Why did the females in his life have to be so dramatic? It was so draining. “What has come over you, Derek? Why are you doing this to us?” She asked, the tears falling hard and fast. Amanda had clearly taken lessons in being dramatic from her. “What am I doing to you guys?” “You’re treating us like we do not matter to you at all. This wasn’t how your father treated us when he was alive. You put your poor sister on a paltry allowance, for crying out loud!” “It’s Amanda’s own fault that she cannot be trusted with finances, and it is out of the kindness of my heart that I am even giving her an allowance at all. She ran through her trust fund in an obscenely short amount of time, for chrissakes. That’s nobody’s fault but hers.” Derek reminded his mother. “All the same, she is still your sister. Your very own blood! How can you be so unconcerned watching her struggle the way she is struggling?” Mrs Turner asked
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Surprise visit
The wind blew fairly strongly and ruffled Derek’s hair as he drove the five hours to the set location in his convertible. He could have flown down there, but he needed some time alone in silence, and this journey provided him with that.It was not necessary for him to be on the set, or even to show up at all, but he found himself making the journey anyway. He needed a break from everything and the long drive was giving him that much-needed break.However, deep within him, he knew the real reason why he had embarked on this trip, and it was because of Ava. For whatever reason, he could not get her off his mind, no matter how hard he tried and he had finally come to terms with this fact.His feelings for her grew stronger by the day, and were even now, much stronger than they had been after she disappeared.If she knew this, she would probably consider him a creep and make sure never to have to work with him again, which was why he was going to play it cool, at least for now.He got to t
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Opening up
EIGHT YEARS AGO“I would like to get married to you,” Ava said. The weight of the words hung heavily in the atmosphere between Ava and Derek. At first, Ava thought that Derek did not hear her request. She herself could barely believe that those words had come out of her mouth.Of course, she had fantasized about being in a relationship with Derek and having him fall in love with her, but that was all it had been… a fantasy since she had somehow caught feelings for him during the period of time that she took care of him.So how come did her traitorous mouth open of its own accord to utter the words that it had just uttered? Derek continued to stare at her passively for a long time, while she averted her gaze, and wished that the ground would open up and swallow her.“You would like to get married to me.” He said at last. It was not a question, but a statement.“Uh, well.”“Why would you like to get married to me?”“I …” Ava began and then trailed off, embarrassed beyond words. Her ch
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Confrontation
That had been eight whole years ago and a lot of time had passed now, just as a lot of water had passed under the bridge. Derek was a stranger to Ava now, and that was all he would ever be, even if she ever told him about her daughter.“I have to go check out something. Later.” She said, making a hasty getaway from there before either of the men said something, thus leaving them alone together.It was the first time both men were alone in close proximity to each other in years, and the hostility between them was palpable enough for anyone watching them closely to feel.“So are you going to spend all day pouting? Come on. I’ll show you around.” Steve told Derek, extending his hand toward him, but Derek pushed the hand away irritatedly.“Stay the fuck away from Ava.”“And why on earth would I want to do that? She’s a lovely lady and she is exactly my type. I think that something may be brewing there.” Steve replied, his tone so mocking that it was all Derek could do not to drive his fis
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Sinking realization
Derek knew that he should leave Ava alone. It was clear that she wanted nothing to do with him, and besides, she had told him so in so many words, but he just couldn’t help himself.He found her in a small room by herself, and she was talking on the phone, totally oblivious to his presence since she had her back turned to the door.“Alright, honey. I’ll see you in two days, okay? I miss you so much too, but I have to go now. I’ll talk to you later this night.” She said into the phone and waited while the other person spoke before she spoke again.“I love you too, baby. Kisses...” She finished and then hung up the call. Her voice was filled with unmistakable love … much like the love she used to have for him.To hear her sound the way she used to when she talked to him as she talked to someone else made Derek feel like a dagger had been plunged straight into his heart. Apparently, he had been barking up the wrong tree all this while.Ava had someone in her life, and this mysterious per
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Accusations and confessions
"Look, it doesn’t matter. As I said before, it’s all in the past. Damn, you’re beginning to make me sound like a broken record.” Ava told him, making to walk past him, but he stepped in front of her, his gaze pleading.“Ava, please, tell me what you’re talking about. I’m not trying to justify my horrid behavior to you while we were married, but I also need to know what you’re talking about.”“It doesn’t matter,” Ava told him stubbornly.As much as she liked to think that she was over Derek … and she was actually over him, thinking about his betrayal and the callous way in which he had discarded her still stung a bit.“Please, Ava. I need to know.”“Fine, fine. Whatever. I’m talking about the text that you sent to me the night I caught you kissing Denise at the restaurant that night you asked for a divorce. It was your mother’s birthday and I organized a dinner date at the restaurant, but left early when we had a confrontation and I saw you and Denise ... well …” Ava trailed off.Derek
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Reunion
SIX YEARS AGO“You’re not going to believe who called me today.” Amanda Turner told her brother, Derek, as they sat in a restaurant together, having drinks. She had appeared in his office out of the blue and demanded that he take her out, and short of being rude, there was no way he could refuse the demand, so here they were.“Really? And who was it?” Derek asked politely. It wasn’t like he was really interested because he did not exactly roll in the same circle as Amanda’s friends.“Guess.”“I can't guess, Amanda. I’m not in the mood for playing guessing games. Finish up your drink so I can drop you off at home and go back to my house. I have to be at the office early tomorrow.” Derek replied.Amanda was not pleased with this reply, and she pouted to show her displeasure, but her excitement was too great, so she continued talking, ignoring Derek’s unenthusiastic response.“It was Denise!” She revealed triumphantly, knowing that the name was bound to provoke a sort of reaction from he
