The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Allegations
"So, I’m going to point you in the direction of paparazzi, and you’re going to give them all the juicy details while leaving my name out of it. I wanted to do that myself before, but the thought of going on television and saying all that stuff nauseates me, so you're going to do it for me. You can sell the information to the paparazzi. I believe you're going to make a good amount of money, considering the fact that Barry's death is currently trending on the gossip channels.” Derek said.“I know I can make some money sir, but I'm not sure I'm going to make a lot of it that way. I just need enough money to set up a business for myself and …”“Take it or leave it, Andy my man. As you well know, I don't owe you a damn thing. If you’ve got a good head on your shoulders, as well as a great bargaining spirit, then you should be able to make some good money from the paparazzi. Let me know how it goes once you’re done, and I may decide to compensate you for your efforts.” Derek said into the p

Andy was clearly having a field day as he fielded questions from the paparazzi. He left out no part of the story, but said everything the way it had happened, saying parts that even Derek didn’t know about because Denise had conveniently omitted those parts when she confessed what she had done to him.Andy talked about how Denise had abandoned Derek after his accident and had gone in search of fame, only to come back when she found out that Derek was now far richer than she had imagined that he would be.Then he went on to talk about how he had helped Denise go about getting Derek back after they got back into the country. Just listening to the man talk caused Derek to cringe.He couldn’t believe that he had been fooled so utterly and smoothly, despite priding himself on being a world-wise man. Andy’s story made him look like a gullible and foolish man, who was so easily deceived.He listened to the man talk about how he and Denise had drugged Derek and planted evidence to make it loo

He didn’t see any missed calls from Ava and was a little disappointed about that. Maybe she hadn't seen the news yet, although he doubted that. She probably just didn’t care, and he wouldn't blame her if that was the case.Well, it didn’t change anything. He was still going to explain things to her as soon as he got the chance to get her alone. He would apologize for the weak man he had been back then when they were married.He was still thinking about this when his phone rang again. It was Damien this time around.“Hey, man,” Derek said into the phone.“What the hell is going on exactly and why is your face plastered all over the news this morning?” Damien asked without preamble.“Well, what do you think? Didn’t you listen to the news?”“You mean to tell me everything that that asshole is spewing out of his mouth is true? Oh, pardon my manners. I'm so sorry about Barry. I found out this morning that he passed yesterday morning and have been calling you, but you weren't answering your

Denise was having a nervous breakdown, and rightfully so. She couldn’t believe what her life had come to in the blink of an eye, and she knew it wasn't going to stop anytime soon.Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that the timid Andy, who couldn’t even go through with his blackmail to collect money from her a few months back, was going to have the balls to go on live television and blare everything that he and Denise had done for all and sundry to hear.Denise was currently in Amanda’s house, hiding out and crying her balls out. She had just come back from a grossly unsuccessful press conference, where she tried to convince everyone that everything Andy had said was a lie.She didn't manage to convince anyone, but had instead, managed to amass more haters for herself because it was glaring that Andy was telling the truth.Derek wasn’t responding to her text messages, and neither was he responding to her calls. In fact, he had blocked her again, and now, she had no way of re

The confidence that Amanda was exuding restored Denise’s hope a little and she came to sit beside Amanda and accepted the white powder that Amanda thrust in her direction.She suspected that it was cocaine, but she would rather not know for sure. Instead, she used it and not long later, she felt much better, as Amanda had promised that she would feel.“Good, now, it’s simple. You said that Andy has more incriminating things against you, right?” Amanda asked, using some of the stuff that she had given Denise herself.“Yes, he does. He must have recordings of me admitting to wanting to kill Ava and her child. My guess is that he’ll wait until all of this has died down, and then he’ll come out with those recordings.”“Good, then what we need to do is to make sure that he doesn’t come out with them, of course.”“How are we going to do that?”“It’s quite simple actually, and I can believe that you’re asking me that kind of question. He’s going to have to die, of course. If he's dead, he ca

Amanda had begun to despair that Logan was ever going to reach out to her, and she thought he had changed his mind about the whole thing, but surprisingly, she got a call from him the previous evening.Most probably, the news that was going on about Derek had caused him to remember her. He told her that he had been really busy, and that he had even been out of the country for a while, but that he hadn’t forgotten their plans to get revenge.Thus, she had his number, and all she had to do was to put across a quick call to him, and she did just that. After all, he was the one who told her to call him if she needed anything.“I have a quick and easy job for you, Logan.” She said when he answered her call.“Sure, I’m all ears.”“I’m sure you must have seen the gossip channels today.”“Actually, I haven't. I'm not the type to watch what's going on on gossip channels.”“Okay, well. There’s this guy who’s going around spreading stuff about my friend to paparazzi and gossip channels. She need

What had he been thinking coming to Ava’s house on the spur of the moment without first checking to see if she was around or not? Derek wondered as he stood foolishly outside her house, knocking for what felt like an eternity.Nobody was home. Of course, nobody was home. It was a Monday morning, after all, and Ava must have gone to work. She had mentioned fleetingly some days back that she had a new project that she was about to start, and so she was obviously going to be busy putting everything in place to kickstart the project.His coming here wasn’t going to be in vain, Derek decided. If he left now and didn’t tell Ava all that he needed to tell her, he was going to lose his nerve and postpone explaining his side of the story until heaven knows when again.So he got out his phone and put a call across to her. She answered the phone on the fourth ring, sounding out of breath. Also, the place she was in sounded very noisy.“Hello, Derek.” She said into the phone. He wondered if it wa
Last Updated : 2024-08-30The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Acquiescence
There were a number of paparazzi who had followed Ava home. They were all yelling out different questions as they viewed for her attention, but she had in her headset and was ignoring every single one of those questions. She looked very tired, pissed off and irritated, and Derek understood exactly how he felt. When he was in his last year in college and he, Steve, and Damien had had their falling out, he understood why most celebrities hated the paparazzi. Back then, he lost his privacy as the paparazzi followed him literally everywhere, shoving cameras in his face, and trying to force him to talk, whether he wanted to do that or not. The annoying thing was that there was nothing that he could do about them until they chose to go away on their own. After everything died down, he had made it a point of duty to disappear and remove himself from the public eye because he absolutely hated having his privacy invaded by total strangers, who would most of the time, twist the truth to suit

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
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A pleasant surprise
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
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Back home
A few days later, Derek was set to be discharged from the hospital. Everything felt so strange to him, and he felt a tad lonely.He had spent the last days of his hospital stay catching up on his present life or what it was supposed to be like.Nothing made sense to him, and he tried not to dwell too much on the grief that plagued him anytime he thought about his dad or the fact that the other remaining members of his family had turned out the way they had.Reading and watching all the pieces of news that he could gather about the whole incident, as well as asking tons of questions, made him not hurt as much as he would have at Denise's or Blair's death and Amanda's incarceration.He could not wrap his head around anyone doing what they had done, especially the fact that they kidnapped and tortured two innocent children, one of whom was his own daughter.He still had yet to meet his little girl, but he was going to see her that day when he got home.He was nervous as hell, about the m
