The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Conflict resolution
What if he had confessed to her the fact that he thought he had had sex with Denise, and had gotten her pregnant? Ava knew the answer to that question, and that was that she would have left immediately.But what if he told her exactly how it happened … that he had blacked out and found himself in bed with Denise, but did not know how he had gotten there, and did not actually have sex with her of his own free will, but had been under the influence.She may probably have thought he was looking for a way to absolve himself of any blame, and it was highly unlikely but maybe, just maybe, she would have been persuaded to forgive him … if there was sufficient proof that what he was saying was true.What if Denise did not hatch this plan with the man who got her pregnant to blame the pregnancy on Derek? Would Ava and Derek have remained married, with Ava trying her best to get him to fall in love with her, while he, on the other hand, continued to avoid her and refuse her affection?Would she
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Acceptance
On the ride back home, Derek felt as light as a bird. He hadn't realized just how much it bothered him that Ava didn’t know the exact details of how everything that led to their divorce happened, but now that she knew and didn’t hate him for him, he was a very happy man.Leaving her house was no mean feat because of the presence of the paparazzi who did not show any signs of leaving at all. As soon as they sighted him coming out of the house, they gathered around like a swarm of locusts, vying for his attention as they bombarded him with questions.The only question he did answer was to affirm that everything that Andy said was true. Then he finally got into his car and his driver pulled away from Ava’s house.He was worried about her staying in the house alone, because of all those gossip-hungry fellows who were camped outside the house, so he left his bodyguard with her, even though he could see that she wasn’t exactly happy about it.Some of the paparazzi began chasing after his ca
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Nostalgic
Dinner that night was a rambunctious affair between father, mother, and daughter. The domestic staff, most of whom were old employees that Ava knew, smiled fondly and happily at the scene, glad that the boss and his ex-wife had finally made peace with each other.They were happy for their boss because all of them knew how much Ava’s leaving had affected him, even though it probably served him right since he was the one who asked her to leave in the first place.However, they all knew what a kind man he was, and no one was perfect. He was the best and most generous boss that anyone could ask for, and every single one of them would rather die than work for someone else.The few people who had left his employ in the past few years were either females who got married and had to move away from the city or people whom Derek had given the capital to start their dream businesses.The summary of the whole thing was that he was a good man, and everyone was bound to make mistakes from time to ti
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge An unexpected guest
Days passed and nothing was heard from the guy who had blared Derek's secret all over television, even though he had promised to come back the following day after his last interview with some more secrets he had to expose about Denise.People were stunned to find out that the guy was the one and same Andrew Tanner, who was once one of the biggest film producers in the industry back then. The man had aged so badly over the years and looked nothing like the way he used to look.Denise also seemed to have gone into hiding and was thankfully not going to the gossip channels to say anything else about Derek, Ava, or their daughter, which was such an immense relief to both Ava and Derek.Denise was also notably absent during Barry’s funeral, which was probably for the best because the last thing anyone needed was for her to start to stir up drama in such a solemn gathering.After the funeral, Derek traveled as he had said he would. He had been putting off this trip for a very long time beca
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Disgusting
At first, Derek thought that he was seeing things. What on earth was Steve of all people doing here? He was supposed to be thousands of miles away shooting a movie as he had told Ava, so how come he was in another state and city entirely?That wasn’t the most surprising thing though. The most surprising thing that had Derek’s mouth nearly hanging off the floor, although on second thought, it shouldn't really have come as much of a shock to Derek, considering the kind of person that Steve was, was the fact that he wasn’t alone.Hanging onto his arm were two different women, both of whom were dressed so scantily that they could have for all intents and purposes, been naked.As Derek watched in disbelief, one of the women used her hands to drag Steve’s head towards her for a kiss, and Steve happily obliged her, kissing the woman as deeply as though his life depended on it right there in the club.The other woman, not to be left out, also dragged Steve’s head towards her for a kiss, and o
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A strained conversation
"You asshole!” Derek said through gritted teeth, not bothering to answer Steve’s greeting.Steve irritated him to the high heavens. Luckily enough, the other guys who were with Derek had gone off to find prospective dance partners, or to do something else, so at least, no one was paying attention to Derek and Steve.“Now, is that any way to greet an old friend?” Steve asked, attempting to make light of the situation, but Derek wasn't having it.“You’re no friend of mine, Steve, and I was about to leave anyway. You can stay here and carry on with what you were doing. Don’t think I won't tell Ava about it though. She deserves to know just the kind of person you are.”“Ah, so that’s what this is about. Have you forgotten that I'm a movie star? Fans come up to me all the time. What do you expect me to do? Turn them away? I can't do that, as you well know. These people are the ones who made me what I am today. They watch my movies, and that is how I make my money. If they stop watching my
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Opening old wounds
However, there was the fact that Ava was now aware of the fact that he didn't cheat on her while they were married, so maybe those words did not hold true any longer, and she did not see him as her vomit any longer.Whatever the case was, she had to know about Steve and then make her own decision about whether she wanted to continue to datesomeone like him or not.Derek hoped she wouldn't continue to date him, because not doing that would mean that he could finally tell her about his feelings and see if she would be receptive to them rekindling their romance again.Aside from that, he also didn't want them to continue dating because he did not want a man like Steve to be a stepfather to his daughter, in case Ava decided to get that serious with Steve in the future.Frankly, if anyone had told Derek that Ava and Steve would still be an item after all these months had passed, he wouldn't have believed it since Steve got bored dating one woman really easily. He did not bother to dignif
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Conviction
“Ah ha! There we have it! I knew there was more to this. It was a mistake, dearest Saint Derek, as I have told you countless times. I was discharged and acquitted by the police after all that brouhaha. Hell, her mother attested to that fact and told everyone how manic her daughter truly was. You know that very well. It was simply self-defense, and I don’t get why you think I should have spent the rest of my life in prison simply for defending myself.”“It doesn’t change the fact that you killed her. Also, don’t forget that I was in the same house with both of you that night. I call bullshit on the self-defense story that you made everyone believe. It wasn’t self-defense. What it was is plain murder ... possibly premeditated murder, even.” Derek said, the usual feeling of guilt stirring up within him whenever the subject of late Victoria came up.“I …”“And what about her father ... the poor man you and Victoria’s greedy mother made everyone believe was crazy? You as well as killed tha
