He rushed over to her immediately, his heart pounding harder than it had ever pounded in his life.

He lifted her head up and checked for a pulse, calling her name over and over as though that was going to make her get up, laugh, and tell him that it was all a prank.

He did find a pulse, although it was a very faint one, and when he found it, he sagged with relief, reached for his phone, and called his driver who had dropped him off immediately.

“There’s an emergency. Please get the car ready and keep the engine running. We have to get to the hospital as fast as we can.” He told the man, not bothering to listen to his response.

It would be much faster for the man to drive them to the hospital than for him to wait for an ambulance to arrive, he reckoned. He was also in no frame of mind to drive right then.

Already, he had lifted Ava up in his arms and was headed as fast as he could down the stairs, still dressed in his suit.

The driver had the car ready as instructed and was already wa

    “What do you mean by she was the one who told you to stay back? Why would she want to be in the house all alone?” Derek asked the woman.“We were all at the party together, sir. She wasn’t feeling too well and asked the driver to take her home. I offered to come home with her, or at least send someone along with her, but she vehemently refused and asked us to stay back since she was capable of looking after herself. If we had known that it was this bad …” The woman trailed off, wringing her hands worriedly.“Alright, alright. That’s fine.” Derek told her.Not long after, he went home to have a much needed shower and rest. Then later in the evening, he went back to the hospital to see how Ava was faring.She had been stabilized, which was such a big relief to him and everyone. She spent a total of ten days in the hospital before she was discharged. By this time, she had found out about the loss of the baby and was inconsolable. Now that she was better, Derek too was feeling the sadnes

    Derek took a deep breath and slowly let it out before replying.“Ava, I don’t think that that’s a good idea … at least not now. First of all, it’s way too early to start trying for a baby so soon after the miscarriage. Also, I don’t want to have kids right now, and even if I do want them later on, I’ll most likely adopt them.”“You were happy when I told you that I was pregnant. You wanted the baby that we lost.”“Yes, I did, but remember that we both had no choice really. We did not plan the pregnancy. It just happened, and then it almost took your life. ”“It wasn’t the baby’s fault. These things happen to women more often than you think, and it doesn’t mean that I can't carry a baby to full term. I’ll just be closely monitored this time around.” Ava insisted. “I don’t want a baby,” Derek told her very firmly and watched the hurt enter her eyes.However, he meant what he said and he now realized that it was better to tell her how he felt and what he wanted, rather than to give her

    I think we have made a dreadful mistake, Ava. We certainly didn’t think this through before we decided to get married.” Derek told her uneasily.“I didn’t make a mistake, Derek. I wanted to marry you because I loved you, and I still do, so I married you happily. If you think the marriage is a mistake, please speak for yourself.” Ava replied, holding her head high, but she could not keep her chin from trembling and tears from filling her eyes.“I just meant that we clearly want different things, and we did not discuss any of this beforehand.”“I know, but it’s fine. You were optimistic that we could work things out after we got married, but now that we are, you're refusing even to try. It's okay though. Marriage is about compromise. I’m willing to compromise with you and accept your terms. You’re right. Several children who are already in this world need a loving home and we can provide them with that. We’ll start with the adoption process once you're ready.” Ava replied.Derek was dum

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   Seemingly pissed

    It felt like a huge weight had been lifted off Ava’s shoulders. Derek had accepted the news of his daughter quite well, and he was happy to play his fatherly role. What was left now was to tell Harper about who he really was to her, and she did so that very afternoon. She took Harper to her favorite ice cream parlor, where they both got some ice cream. “Harper, I need to tell you something really important.” She told her daughter after they had both devoured their ice cream. “Okay, Mommy,” Harper replied, giving her mother her full attention and looking so serious that Ava burst out laughing for a moment. The girl sometimes acted like one who was much older than her age. “So remember how you said you wanted a daddy?” “Yes, mommy. Are you going to marry Steve so he’ll be my daddy?” Harper asked excitedly. “Calm down, honey. No one talked about marrying Steve, but then, your real daddy wants to meet you.” “Oh … is he nice? Do you think he’ll like me? Do you think he’ll want

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   Depressed

    Amanda had never felt so mad, depressed, and vengeful at the same time in her life. Her mother … the woman who got her like no one else and who tried her best to make sure that that evil beast that Amanda called a brother, didn’t cheat her of what was supposed to be rightfully hers had died trying to save her idiot of a brother. Her mother, Blair hadn't even been buried yet, and yet that asshole had cut off every single benefit that he used to give her before, telling her that he was sure that Blair had left her some substantial amount and that she was to use it in supporting herself the way she saw fit. She had tried to go to his house a few days after he got back from the hospital to apologize for her behavior at the hospital the other day, but the worthless security men who manned his gates refused to allow her entry onto his property. It wasn’t even like she actually had anything to be sorry about, after all, it was true that it was his fault that their mother was dead. If he ha

    Less than an hour later, Amanda was sitting in Denise’s living room and looking around the place in awe and a little envy, while sipping a glass of whiskey which she had helped herself to without asking for permission first.“This place is big and quite nice. How on earth were you able to afford to buy this house on such short notice?”“Well, I work and I have savings too, you know.”“I know that, but for you to have been able to afford this house just like that, your savings just won't cut it.”“Is that what you wanted to see me about? To quiz the shit out of me about my house or try to find out how much I have in my bank account? If you did not gamble away every cent that came into your hands, then maybe you would have known that it is indeed possible to save up to buy something as important as your own house, especially if you weren't fortunate enough to have rich parents who bought you everything under the sun once you asked them for it.” Denise said angrily.She hadn't really mea

    “So he didn’t react to the fact that you’ve been lying to and deceiving him all these years?” Amanda asked in disbelief after she had overcome her shock.“No, he didn’t. You know Derek and how soft he is, even though he pretends to be all hard and macho. He already has a soft spot for Barry and the boy is going to die any moment from now, so he doesn’t want him to spend his last days worrying why his favorite person abandoned him. Talk about a softie! He did ask me to leave his house though, which was why I got this one next to him because if I plan on getting him back, I need to be close to him.”“I get that you think that you’ve somehow managed to solve all your problems, but you're forgetting something, aren't you?”“What’s that?”“What do you intend to do about Ava and her daughter?” Amanda asked, but somehow, she already guessed what the answer to that question would be.“Nothing at all. Derek’s a billionaire. He has more than enough money to go around and last a few generations

    Denise actually indeed had somewhere to be as she told Amanda, and once she was certain that Amanda had been kicked off her premises, she headed there in her car, her heart beating as she hoped to high heavens that the purpose of her outing was going to be fruitful. Amanda hadn't always been this way. In fact, once upon a time, Denise was the one who used to look up to her and want to be like her. Back then, Amanda was fit, beautiful, and rich as hell, so who wouldn’t want to be like her? It didn’t matter that she was three years older than Denise was because she was fun-loving, just as Denise was, and was also quite laid-back, although she was also quite bossy. The two women had met in one of the classes that they usually had together and Amanda had been the one to speak to Denise first. Denise still remembered that day very well. BACK IN THE DAY (COLLEGE DAYS) “Hey, do you happen to have a spare pen that you could lend me?” The person beside Denise asked. Denise looked over to s

    “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

    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
