The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Meeting
EIGHT YEARS AGO Ava had always hated hospitals, and it had to do with the fact that she watched her best friend take her last breath in one. Her best friend's face and body were barely recognizable from the impact of the accident that she had been in. The fact that she had nearly watched someone get crushed to death a few hours ago was still causing her to be shaken up, and now, as she sat in the lobby of the hospital in which the man whom she had rescued was admitted hours ago, she shuddered. “He’s in a very critical condition, ma’am. We’ve got him as comfortable as we can, but we don’t hold out much hope that he's going to make it.” A doctor said, jolting Ava out of her reverie. “Oh, thank you, doctor.” “You don’t have to wait anymore, you know. You’ve done your good deed for the day. We’ve reached his family and they're on their way already.” The doctor told her, but Ava did not feel like leaving. She felt a sort of connection to the poor man whose life she had saved that eve

“Nothing. I’m just talking to him. I've heard that it is good to talk to people in a coma. I don’t know how true that is, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to give it a shot.” “He doesn’t know who the fuck you are. I get that you saved his life and all, but there’s no need for you to hang around any longer, He’s in safe hands now.” “I understand you’re worried about your brother, but I really mean no harm. Also, he made me promise not to leave and I intend to keep that promise until he wakes up.” Ava replied. “Is it money you want?” “What?” “Here, I’ll write a check for ten thousand dollars for you, so you can get lost.” The lady said. Ava stared at her mouth agape, wondering what the hell her problem was. “Amanda! That’s no way to talk to the person who saved your brother’s life! I know you’re going through a lot now … we both are, but I won't let you misbehave in that manner. If Derek made her promise to stay, then she would stay.” Derek’s mother said in a firm tone, coming into t

By this time, Derek’s mother and sister had arrived at the hospital and were waiting anxiously with Ava for more news about Derek.There were squeals of delight, and then tears of joy and relief at this announcement. After a few more moments, they were allowed to go inside and see Derek. Ava stood aside, feeling like an interloper, while his mother and sister fussed over him. She was glad that he was alright, but that also meant that her work there was done. She wondered why the thought of that made her feel very sad. The chances were that he didn’t even know her.Nobody acknowledged her presence, so she quietly picked up her bag and was about to leave when Derek’s mother spoke.“Oh, dear me! Where are my manners? Ava, please come here. I want you to officially meet my son, Derek. Derek, this is the lady who saved your life. Aside from that, she has been taking care of you ever since you were admitted here. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her.” Derek’s mother s

PRESENT DAYAva was going to get her heart broken. Derek had no doubt about that. He knew all about Steve and his escapades as well as his sordid reputation when it came to women, but Ava didn’t want to listen to him.“And who made you her custodian? You broke her heart too, remember?”Derek scowled and stomped on the last bit of cigarette. He hated having to think about how he used to treat Ava. How could he have been so blind and stupid not to see her worth until it was too late?How could he have ignored her when all she wanted was for him to like her and make an effort in their marriage? Instead of obliging her, all he had done was to ignore her like a spoilt brat and let his resentment show. Then, in the end, he had been so stupid as to knock up Denise.He cut off his train of thought immediately as he always did anytime it veered into that territory. He had always prided himself as a principled man and even though he didn't love Ava when he was married to her, he could always bo

The first day of filming was a success, or at least to Ava, it seemed to be. It was surreal to think that five years ago, she had been so jealous of Denise and wished that she could be like her.Now, she could not even see anything remotely attractive or likable about the woman, who always managed to look like she was mad at everyone and everything, and clearly resented Ava.Unfortunately for her though, she had to work to keep her resentment clearly hidden and even do her best to please Ava since Ava was her boss, and watching her try to do this had Ava in stitches.Oh, how the tables had turned. Karma was indeed a bitch. Apparently though, that wasn’t even the end of it because later that day, after a break, Ava went to interview some of the people who had applied for the lesser jobs on the set. There she found the last person she would have expected to see there, in the person of Derek’s sister, Amanda.Just seeing the lady brought back horrible memories to Ava. It had been years s

Ava stared aghast at Steve, wondering what he was up to and what he wanted with her with these revelations that he kept coming up with. Maybe Derek was right about this guy not being good news because how on earth did he know so much about everyone? “Who are you, and what exactly do you want from me?” she asked him, raising her chin in defiance and refusing to let him know that he unsettled her. “Aw, Come on Ava. Don't be like that. We are friends, aren't we? I'm only trying to look out for a friend. I meant what I said earlier when I asked you to be careful where Denise and Amanda are concerned. Those two are usually up to no good and have never been.” “Yeah, yeah, I get that. However, if you must know, Derek also asked me to be wary of you so who on earth exactly am I supposed to listen to?” “Hmm. He said that, did he? I'm not surprised at all. However, you have to remember that you were once his wife, and so of course he is bound to be protective of you. I guess he is ju

“How could you not tell me? How could you let me nearly die of embarrassment today?” Amanda screeched at her long-time best friend, Denise in anger. What added to her anger was the fact that Denise did not even seem remorseful, but was instead glaring at her with what suspiciously looked like irritation. Amanda took a minute to feel really sorry for herself. It was a pity that her life had had to come to this. If her father were still alive, she was very sure that she wouldn’t be treated so horribly by everyone who was supposed to love and take care of her. However, her father had decided to have a heart attack and die over five years ago, leaving her at the mercy of her wicked and heartless brother. Now, even her best friend, whom she had stood by through thick and thin all through these years, was beginning to act up. Actually, Denise had been acting up for quite a while now, but Amanda had chosen to turn a blind eye to that fact, hoping against hope that she was mistaken

EIGHT YEARS AGO“You haven't told me why Denise hasn’t come to see me since all this while,” Derek told his mother one day, not long after he was discharged from the hospital.Mrs. Turner released a long, heavy sigh looking like she wished that she was anywhere but there.“Um, I’m really sorry, Derek, but we did not want to tell you anything about it until after you were well enough. Denise has traveled out of the country. I believe she received a very good acting offer that she couldn’t turn down.” Mrs. Turner replied.“When was this?”“About a week after the accident, I believe.”“Oh. Did she come to see me at all?”“Derek …”“I’ll take that as a no.”“Well, according to what she told me, it was quite sudden, and that was why she couldn’t come.” Mrs. Turner tried to defend Denise, but even she sounded unsure of what she was saying.Ava watched as hurt clouded Derek’s eyes, but he tried to pretend like he wasn’t hurt. From then on, he became difficult to be around. He bare

The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Epilogue
The day was bright, sunny, and cheerful, as were the people who were present at Derek's house to celebrate with him and Ava as they got married for the second time.The large garden at their house had been decorated beautifully and had served as their wedding venue. The two were the stars of the show, and they had eyes for no one but each other.They had just exchanged their vows again, to the thunderous cheers of their friends, family, and well-wishers.To put it more precisely Derek was the one with the friends, while Ava was the one with her family members present.Derek didn’t have any extended family members left, and neither did he want any. The family that he had built and was still building was more than enough for him.He had Ava, who was the best and most supportive partner that anyone could have, and with whom he was madly in love, and vice versa.He also had his beautiful daughter, Harper, who was growing up so fast and was so smart and well-behaved that she melted hearts

He led her back to his room, walked over to a drawer by the side of his bed, opened it, and brought out something from inside it.When he turned towards her and she saw what it was that he brought out of it, Ava gasped out loud.It looked like the black box in which her engagement ring had come several years ago.Derek had always had a taste for good things, and he had the money to support his taste.Thus back then, even when he wasn’t really into her, and was only marrying her out of pity, he had gotten her a beautifully crafted and expensive engagement ring.As he opened the box in his hands now and got down on one knee, she could see that it was the same ring that was inside it.He had kept it even after all these years! Tears sprung to her eyes, filling them as he professed his love to her and asked her to marry him again, promising to treat her right this time around and make up for all the lost years.“Yes, yes, Derek. Of course, I’ll marry you! There’s nothing I want more.” She

Ava wasn’t about to take any chances though. After hugging the living daylights out of Derek, while he hugged her back just as tightly, she insisted that they had to visit the hospital right then.“But it’s already late. Besides, I don’t think there's anything they can do or will have to do. We can wait until tomorrow to go there and celebrate this night instead.” Derek suggested, his voice rife with meaning as he threw a suggestive wink Ava’s way, but she didn't allow herself to be swayed.“No way in hell. We’ve waited too long for you to regain your memory to just take it so lightly now that it has finally happened. We’re going now, and that’s that!”“As Her Royal Highness wishes.” Derek joked, making a small, formal bow that made Ava smile.Yes, he was back. She could see in his eyes that he truly recognized her, but even better, he had the same look in his eyes that he used to have before he went to the conference and everything changed.The look that told her that he was in love
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Rememberance
She picked up the papers with the slowness of a very old woman and scanned through them, her hands shaking.She was not surprised to see her name, as well as Derek’s name on the papers because she had recognized the papers the minute they fell out of the book.It was the same ones that Derek had handed to her on that night several years ago, which she had had no choice but to reluctantly sign, while crying her eyes out and swearing never to forgive him for everything that he had done to her.Except that he hadn't really done anything in the sense of the word ... at least, not in the way that she thought.Why on earth were these papers still with him? She had signed them and left that day without giving any thought to what he was going to do with them.Her signature was there on the paper, right where she had signed it haphazardly. In fact, she thought that she could still see a tear mark or two on the papers since she was crying when she signed them, but she couldn’t be sure since th

They walked in companionable silence to Derek’s room. Once they were inside the room, he led her to his walk-in closet where he had stored the journals, making sure to keep a respectable distance between them.Ava knew that it was because she had complained about the scent of his cologne, and now, she wished that she had kept her wide mouth shut.“It’s all in there. Here, let me look for the specific one you asked about.” Derek said, picking it out and handing it to her.“Oh, thank you. Are you sure that you don’t mind me reading it?”“Not in the least bit. I feel like I’d be doing the guy who wrote all that stuff a huge solid by letting you see for yourself all the things that he wanted to say to you for so long but was too chicken to say. He might want to kill me for doing it, but I think he’ll be better for it in the long run.” Derek replied, shrugging.“Okay then,” Ava said happily.Derek, for his part, suddenly became self-conscious. What if she thought that he was a sappy fool a
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge No hesitation
Several seconds passed, and then Derek rushed in the direction that she had gone.He found her in the restroom adjoining the living room. She was throwing up violently into the toilet bowl.Derek went over to her and moved her hair away from her face, providing support until there was nothing for her to throw up anymore.Once she was done, she slowly turned to face him. It was clear that she was reluctant to turn, andDerek remained immobile for a few more seconds before rushing after Ava.He found her in the restroom adjoining the living room, throwing up violently into the toilet bowl, and rushed towards her.He held her and moved her hair away from her face until there was nothing for her to throw up anymore.Then she slowly and reluctantly turned to face him, a fact that wasn't lost on him. In fact, she seemed to be inching awayfrom him so that there was a little space between them.He figured that it was because she had just finished throwing up the contents of her bowel and did
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Unexpected
The next day, Derek arrived home from work with a huge bouquet of flowers for Ava and a smaller one for Harper. The two of them were in the living room, watching Harper’s favorite cartoon and looking all comfy and cozy. Their eyes lit up the moment Derek stepped into the living room, and this filled him with warmth. Harper in her usual fashion, bounded up to run over to him to give him a big hug. Her hugs were one of his favorite things nowadays, and he could never get tired of receiving them for as long as he lived. Ava, on the other hand, was more reserved in her welcome towards him, but she did smile at him in welcome. Her eyes were always cautious around him, which kind of made him sad because that emotion was definitely different from the one he wrote about in his journals after she warmed up to him. “Welcome home. Derek. What have you got there behind you?” Ava asked him. “Thank you. I got you both some flowers.” He replied, and brought forward the hand that was holding th
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Third time is a charm
As the days passed and Derek's memory didn't return, he got more and more frustrated because it felt like things were at a standstill due to the memory loss.On the bright side, catching up with work wasn't difficult for him at all. In fact, it was one of the easiest things he had to deal with and he spent several hours a day at it while Harper was at school and Ava was trying to get back to work.Catching up with the rest of his life was what was difficult though. Nothing made sense, and so he had to go through all of his stuff, trying to find out more about his current than he already knew.He managed to find out a lot just by doing this. He had always been very organized and used to keep journals that documented his daily life.Apparently, he still kept these journals and they were all arranged neatly on a shelf in his library.He went through each and every one of them, trying to catch a glimpse of the man he now was. Going through them made him realize just how different he was f

She smiled at him and slowly came out from behind the chair. Derek had no idea for how long she had been hiding there, but it seemed that it had been quite a while.“Daddy…” She said and without warning, rushed at him and embraced him tightly with more strength than he would have expected a child to have.Derek awkwardly patted her back and embraced her too, not sure if he should pick her up, kiss her cheek, ruffle her hair, or anything like that.“How are you?” He asked her, wincing as soon as the words left his mouth. He sounded like he was having a formal meeting with some board of directors or something like that, not talking to a child.However, Harper didn’t seem to mind. In fact, she made his decision for him by raising her arms, indicating that he should pick her up.“I’m fine, daddy. The bad woman told me that you died, but I didn’t believe her.” Harper told him.Derek immediately did as she wanted and she rested her head on his shoulder in the sweetest gesture ever. To his
