The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Outsmarted
PRESENT DAY “That is why I told you that it is best that Derek never resurfaces.” Andy had said only minutes ago. “I don't know what you want me to do. Seek out his abductors and ask them to kill him? Like I told you earlier, I love Derek and this time around, I'm prepared to make our relationship work and give him all the love that he deserves but has never gotten.” “Well, if that is what you want, then I guess I can't stop you. I will still be needing money to keep my mouth shut though.” Andy told her. Denise burst out laughing at this “Unfortunately, it is not going to make a difference whether you close your mouth or not.” “What do you mean by that?” “What I mean by that is that Derek already suspects that Barry isn’t his.” “What makes you say so? You and Derek share the same blood group, which is the same one that Barry has, isn’t it? What on earth will make Derek begin to suspect that Barry isn't his biological son? Did you give him any reason to doubt you and carry
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A surprise visitor
For the first time in over three weeks, Derek saw the sun. It was blinding in its intensity and he had to squint his eyes to protect it from its punishing glare, but he was glad to see the sun. When his eyes adjusted to the light, he took a good look at his surroundings. He had been right. He was being held captive out in the woods in the middle of nowhere. Even if he managed to escape, which was unlikely unless he was kept alive until his wounds healed well enough for him to try to escape, he would most likely die of thirst and starvation out here. “There is water in that bucket over there, as well as some soap. Use it to wash yourself very well.” His captor told him, still pointing the gun at him so that he would not make any funny moves, not that Derek was in the condition to do such a thing. There was no question of wrestling the gun out of the man’s hands except he wanted to wind up dead, so Derek approached the bucket gingerly and began to take his bath, wincing when the
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Flowers
FLOWERSThere was a knock on Ava’s door while she was still sleeping even though it was nearly eleven in the morning It was a Saturday after all and she was sleeping in after the events of the previous evening when Amanda disrupted her dinner with Steve.This was because she had slept late the previous night since sleep eluded her, either because of the altercation with Amanda or for some other reason.Her maid answered the door and came to wake her up with a huge smile on her face and a large bouquet of roses in her hands.“What the hell? Where did you get those from?” Ava asked groggily.“They’re from Mr. Steve. He’s in the living room if you want to see him, otherwise he said it is not a problem if you're not up to having visitors just yet. I informed him that you were sleeping."“No, no. It’s fine. I’ll see him.” Ava replied, blushing like a schoolgirl with a huge crush on the star football player in school.She couldn’t remember when last she got flowers. Actually, she could and
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Ranting
There was only one way to find out whether what Andy told Denise about Ava having a daughter was true or not and that was that she needed to see for herself.She didn’t know where Ava lived and she had no way of finding out, but she would surely find out. First of all, though, she needed someone to rant to and what person was perfect to rant to other than the one person who hated Ava more than she did?So after dropping in to see Barry for a few minutes, so that it would be on record that she came there, she made her way over to the house that Amanda shared with her mother without informing her that she was coming over."Hello, Amanda," Denise said by way of greeting when the maid ushered her into the living room where Amanda was eating as usual.“What’s up?” Amanda said disinterestedly Denise was surprised at the lackadaisical greeting. It was the first time that Amanda was showing disinterest towards her and this made her a little worried as Denise was the one who usually got tir
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Dead of the night
Jerome ruffled Barry's hair lovingly, kissed his forehead, and told him that he was going to be back to see him really soon. The boy was still alive, but only barely and the only person with him was his nanny since Denise could not be bothered to stay in the hospital for anything more than an hour or two and apparently, neither could Amanda or her mother. Over the years, Jerome had become more than just a bodyguard to Derek's family. He was now as close as family and he loved Barry as dearly as though he were his own son. He felt really sorry for the child who never ceased to stop asking for his father ... His father who could even then be dead. Jerome cut off this train of thought immediately. Derek couldn't be dead. He refused to accept this. Derek would be found alive and never would Jerome make the mistake of letting him go anywhere without adequate protection again. Already, the police had found Derek's car abandoned somewhere in town, and now were giving their all to fi
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Confirmation
It took some work and stealth, butDenise managed to get Ava's home address from one of the people with whom they worked on set. It took a while for her to get it, but she did manage to get it in the end. Since she was the mother of Derek’s son, the woman she asked for the address gave it to her without being suspicious, no doubt thinking that it had to do with work, but of course, that couldn't be farther from the truth.Denise just had to know whether what Andy told her was true or not. She would not be able to rest until she confirmed it.The next day after she got the address, she and Amanda decided to go there and check out the place where their rival lived for themselves.It turned out to be a modest house with beautiful lawns that was nowhere near as big as Derek's house or even the house in which Amanda and her mother lived."All that is going to change when she tells Derek about his daughter." Amanda thought to herself in anger.The thought of Derek spending money on this w
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Ramblings
“I'm all ears,” Derek said. As difficult as it was under the circumstances, he had finally become calm and was waiting for his mother to explain herself and what all of this was about. “So here’s the thing. I’m seriously pissed at you.” She began. “I figured as much. Why are you pissed at me though? That is my question. Is it because I have refused to have anything to do with Denise? I'm a grown man though, so I am able to make my own decisions, including who I want to spend the rest of my life with. "It actually has nothing to do with Denise." "She's in with you on this, isn't she?" "No, as a matter of fact, she knows nothing about any of this. So anyway, it all started from way back… way before you were born.” “Alright. That's a start. I'm listening.” “Yeah, but before then, I would like to inform you that the major reason you are here today is because of what you've done to my daughter and me. We do not deserve any of that at all." “Ah! So money is the reason why
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Lost in thought
Something was up with her husband. Blair Turner knew this as surely as she knew her own name. It was obvious in the way he had changed entirely towards her. Gone was the loving man who hung on her every word and couldn’t wait to get home every day just so he could be with her. Now, he stayed out late, always claiming that he was working late, but somehow, Blair knew this was not true. There was another woman. Her instinct told her this. The signs were always there. It hurt her so much because she believed that it was because her husband didn’t find her attractive any longer that he found himself a mistress. She had given birth to their daughter, Amanda less than a year ago and her body hadn’t bounced back to normal yet, which was probably why he was panting after another woman. Despite how many times she asked him if something was wrong or if he was seeing someone else, he always denied it, so Blair decided to take matters into her own hands. One day, when it was almo

The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Complicated
“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
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Tantrum
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
