The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge The wait
Contrary to what Amanda thought, snatching up Ava’s daughter turned out to be a herculean task. She had prepared adequately for the day but definitely didn’t think that it was going to take as much time as doing it took. Logan had had to travel three days before with the guy who he had hired to kill Derek, so it was just her, Steve, and Denise, whom she had told about what she intended to do. They followed Ava’s every move right from when she left her house with her daughter until she dropped off the child at the park where the party was going to be held. That was when Amanda began to realize that snatching the kid wouldn’t be as easy as she had thought it would be. For starters, there were adults who supervised the whole thing everywhere. They didn’t let the kids out of their sight for even a minute, which meant that going close to any of the kids at that point was going to be very obvious and an alarm could be raised, which would not bode well for them. Still, she had anticipate
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge The kidnap
Harper had broken off from the group of children and was now merrily chasing another little girl who looked to be the same age as her and was the same size as well.As Amanda and her group observed them keenly, the children ran towards the parking lot, where the car that Amanda had rented was parked.They weaved in between the parked cars, enjoying their game of chase with reckless abandon. “Steve, get ready. They may run over to this side soon.” Amanda hissed at Steve.“But there’s two of them. What are we going to do about the other child?”“Well, I don’t know. Grab her as well. They’re just little kids. How hard can it be? Perhaps you should go to the backseat and Denise should come to the front seat so it’ll be easier for you to grab them, and make sure not to fuck this up." Amanda said.Although he was unwilling to do so, Steve did as she asked. By this time, the children had disappeared from sight again."Shit! When next they come around here, you're going to get down fr
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Presumption
Ava had been busy all morning with working on her script despite the fact that nowadays, she constantly felt tired as hell, because of the pregnancy.She certainly didn't remember being this tired during Harper's pregnancy, but maybe that was because she had spent most of her time crying and ruing the day that she met Derek back then.By the time it was afternoon, she decided to take a nap for at least an hour, after which she was going to head over to the park to pick up Harper, who was no doubt having a field day at her friend's birthday party.Derek had called Ava that afternoon to ask how she and Harper were faring.He did that all the time so that it was almost as though they were in a serious relationship, or even married.That, among other things, must have been why she fell for him so fast again after literally hating him for years.Just hearing his voice reminded Ava how much she missed him, even though he had literally only just left.Ava knew that if it turned out that they
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge More woes
Ava came to with the sound of frenzied knocking on her door and sat up groggily, disoriented for a little while. It didn't take her long to remember what had happened, or why she found herself on the ground, and she bolted up from the ground where she was sitting immediately she remembered.She regretted this sudden movement when her head swam and took a minute to steady herself, while the person who was at the door kept on knocking.As though on cue, her phone also chose that moment to ring shrilly, adding to the noise that the incessant knocking was already producing.Ava wasn't in the mood to receive visitors right then, but she remembered that Harper was still with her friend's mother and the woman could be the one who was knocking to drop her off.The television was still on, but news about Derek wasn't on it any longer. Derek was dead? No, of course not, he wasn't.There was no way on earth he would be dead. She must have dreamt the whole thing up. She snatched up her pho
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Blessed peace
Amanda hadn't felt this exhilarated in a long while. She hadn't bargained for getting an extra kid when she planned to kidnap Derek’s daughter, but the whole operation had gone so smoothly that she couldn't complain. All she had to do after they got the children in the car was to hand Denise the gun and ask her to go in the backseat of the car so she could watch over the terrified children. After that, she asked Steve to come sit with her in the passenger seat where she could keep her eyes on him, because she didn't trust him one bit. It was crazy that even Denise had way more balls than he did. Derek’s daughter was a pain in the ass because she started to scream as soon as she realised what was happening, but Amanda was quicker than that. She turned around and delivered a sharp slap to the little girl's face, effectively silencing her. However, that only lasted for a short while, before Harper was telling them all about how they were going to go to the place where bad peop
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Utter relief
Ava slowly regained consciousness in the hospital room and blinked in confusion.She knew immediately that she was in a hospital, but couldn't exactly say why she was there, or how she got there. "How do you feel, Ava?" A doctor asked her, coming into her line of vision and poking and prodding at her. "Why am I here?" "You fainted, Ava. We kept you under observation overnight." With those words, the events of the previous night came rushing back to her immediately, and she sat upright, her head swimming. "Has my daughter been found? Has Harper been found?" She asked the doctor, who told her that he would get her mom. A few minutes later, Ava's mom hurried into the room. Ava took one look at her mother's bloodshot eyes, which were red from obvious weeping, and any hope that she had been harboring that things may have changed overnight, disappeared immediately. "Oh, mom! Mom! How can this be happening to me? What have I done to deserve any of this? What has poor Derek or Harper d
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Aftermath
Amanda took the children straight to a secluded house that she had purchased and 'furnished' solely for the purpose of housing Harper after she kidnapped the kid. By this time, it was already very dark and she had been driving for hours. The house had a basement, which was where she intended to keep both girls locked up for as long as she decided that they were going to live ... which she didn't think was going to be that long. Derek's daughter was far too annoying for Amanda to let the girl live for very long. In just the short span of time that the girl had spent in Amanda's presence, Amanda already knew that she wouldn't be able to stand her. This was a shame because her initial intention was to torture the child and send evidence of this to Ava as a form of punishment and torture to Ava as well. "I want to go home. Uncle Steve, please tell her to let me go home. My mom will be mad at me and she will be scared that something bad has happened to me." Harper cried when Amanda fin
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Unexpected
Steve, Amanda, and Denise watched the news while they had their mini party, which was mostly them drinking and talking, even though they were all tired from having been out all day. As expected, the media was agog with the news of Derek's death, and the glee on Amanda's face at the thought that her efforts had finally paid off and she was well on her way to getting what she felt was her rightful inheritance was unmistakable. Even Steve who wasn't related to Derek felt somewhat bad at the news of his murder, and it seemed that Denise felt the same way, because she was strangely silent and pensive. It was only Amanda who was full of life and happy as hell. That happiness turned into utter shock and total disbelief in the next hour, though. They were still drinking and discussing trivial things when the news channel that was currently on, diverted from showing the regular news to show breaking news. The breaking news was that billionaire Derek Turner, who had earlier that aftern

“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
