The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Delusional
For the past several days, Amanda had been walking about with a spring in her step. She hadn't heard from the guy who had walked up to her in the restaurant that day, Logan, but she was confident that she would soon hear from him and that he would reach out to her when he was well and truly ready.She was no longer afraid of him because she knew now that they had the same goal, and that was to get rid of their common enemy. What Logan didn’t know yet was that he was going to help her get rid of other enemies aside from Derek.She did not mind emptying her account, or even spending all that her mother had left her just for that to happen. She would get all that belonged to Derek once her plan was accomplished, and would regain everything that she had lost a thousandfold, after all.She needed to make sure that her mother did not die in vain. She had died trying to make sure that Amanda got what she deserved, and by God, Amanda was going to make her wish come true. Besides, the earth nee
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A heavy heart
Barry was beside himself with excitement when he learned that Harper was coming over to the house for a sleepover. As a matter of fact, Derek was also beside himself with excitement.It was time to start making up for lost time, and he couldn’t wait to be a proper father to his daughter. He had purchased a bunch of toys that he hoped Harper would like since he didn’t know what she liked yet.Around seven that evening, Ava arrived at his mansion with Harper, who like Barry, couldn’t stop jumping up and down in excitement. For all her exuberance on the phone, Harper was a little shy at first when she saw Derek, but that did not last for long. “Dad said you’re my sister, Harper,” Barry told Harper who nodded and assured him that she was also aware of that fact. Then he led her away eagerly so he could show her the toys that Derek had bought for her.Thus, the two adults were left alone in a somewhat uncomfortable silence, or maybe it was uncomfortable only for Ava. There was a reason why
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Another fight
Ava got home to meet Steve waiting for her in her living room, a none-too-pleased expression on his face. She pretended not to notice his expression and greeted him normally, wondering what his problem was now. “Where are you coming from, Ava?” He asked her after responding to her greeting, his tone implying that he knew exactly where she was coming from. “I went to drop Harper off at Derek’s place. She’s having a sleepover there with him and his son.” She replied, determined not to get into a fight tonight because it seemed that that was all they ever did lately. Prior to dating him, she had had no idea that Steve could be so jealous. “I thought I made it clear that I don’t want you having any dealings with Derek.” “Excuse me?” “I’m a guy, Ava and I know how my fellow guys think and behave when they like someone. Derek likes you and you spending so much time with him is only going to make him think that you like him too.” Steve told her, softening his tone when he realized t
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Setting boundaries
Watching his two children play with each other was the best thing that had happened to Derek in a long while. His heart was full to bursting point, or it would be if he and Ava got back together, but that wasn’t going to happen and he had to respect her wishes. It was almost time for Barry’s bedtime, but the little guy showed no signs of feeling sleepy anytime soon. It wasn’t every day he got to have another kid, least of all his best friend come to his house and sleepover, so his excitement was understandable. Derek supposed that since the next day was a Sunday, and he wasn’t going anywhere, he could let the children stay up late and then everyone could sleep in the following morning. As he was thinking this, he heard the sound of footsteps which were headed towards the living room where they were. He thought nothing of it, thinking to himself that it was probably one of the maids or Barry’s nanny who was coming. It turned out that it wasn’t any of those people, but rath
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Emotional
It had been ages since Derek visited the family of Tim, his late personal assistant who had died in the car accident that had almost claimed Derek’s life too. Spending time with Harper and Barry made him realize just how long it had been since he last saw Tim's children and the thought of this made him feel extremely guilty. He had been sending them their monthly allowance without fail, but then, money wasn't all that mattered. Showing up to show that he cared also mattered. Thus, he put a call through to Tim's widow and asked her if she would be at home with the children the following evening, which was a Sunday evening. She was delighted to hear from him, as were her children and she assured him that they would be home. So Derek spent Sunday afternoon doing a bunch of shopping with Harper for company, under the very watchful eyes of his new bodyguards. Barry didn't come along with them because he wasn't feeling too well and even if he was feeling well, the stress of shopp
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge The visit
“Uncle Derek! Uncle Derek!” Tim’s children exclaimed happily when Derek arrived at their house, flinging themselves into his arms and hugging him tightly.The children were twelve, ten, and nine years old. The youngest was just one year old when their father died in the accident.Derek hugged each of them back as tightly as they hugged him and asked them how they were doing. By this time, Tim’s widow, Vanessa, had come into the living room. Apparently, she had heard all the ruckus and came to see what was going on.She was a young woman, who was a little younger than Ava was and in the years after Tim’s death, she had become a shadow of herself and had become so lean that Derek was worried for her health.He was glad to see that she was doing fine now and was looking robust with health. She came over to him and hugged him tightly the way the children had done, and he let her.She had once told him that he was the closest thing she had to keeping the memory of her late husband alive, a
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Bad news
“I’m afraid you have to prepare yourself for the inevitable this time around, Derek. I'm even surprised that the young lad has managed to fight this illness for this long, but unfortunately, we’re nearing the end. It’s best you and his mother prepare yourselves.” The doctor told Derek, his gaze sympathetic.Apparently, Barry’s condition had taken a turn for the worse after Derek left to go home the previous night. In fact, according to the doctor, if Derek had brought him in an hour or so later than when he did, he may not have made it.“No, no, that isn't possible. That was what you said nearly ten months ago, but he’s still here. You could be wrong this time around as well.” Derek said, shaking his head several times as though that was going to negate what the doctor just said.He knew he was being unreasonable, but he just couldn’t help himself.“I know, but sometimes people get lucky. I’m certain this time around though, and I don’t want you to be caught unawares.” The doctor told
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Unnerving
“Mummy, Uncle Steve is here to see you! Look what he got for me.” Harper exclaimed, barging into her mother’s room as Ava was dressing up to attend an event.As usual, he had brought Harper a gift which was in a box that was tied with a pink bow and now, the little girl put the box on her mother’s bed and waited eagerly for Ava to give her approval for the gift to be opened.“Harper go to your room and continue with your homework. I don’t want to have to tell you twice.” Ava told her daughter sternly.“But Mom, I have to see what Uncle Steve brought for me first.”“You’ll see it after you have obeyed me and done your homework, but if you continue to argue with me, I’ll ask Steve not to bring you gifts anymore.”“Okay, okay, Mom. I’m going to do them.” Harper said and quickly disappeared through the door without further argument.Ava had to smile. Her daughter loved gifts, as did any young child, and the thought of not getting them had to be a nightmare to her, so she was willing to do
