The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Upperhand
There was silence for a while and then Rooney got up and went outside to check out what was going on. Derek could not exactly make out what he and the other person were saying, but in less than ten minutes, he got the shock of the century.Rooney and another man came in, dragging someone who was tied up and bleeding from his arm. The bleeding man seemed familiar and when the two men who held him captive roughly shoved him to the ground, Derek understood why.It was Jerome, his head of security at home. Blair too was clearly shocked, and for a second, she seemed at a loss as to what to do.“What the fuck is he doing here?” She asked, at last, directing her question to the new man who shrugged before answering.“I found him close to the edge of the woods, near your car. When I questioned him, he said that he was camping nearby and was just loitering around. Rooney here says otherwise, however. He says that the man is this guy’s bodyguard.” The man replied, indicating Derek as ‘this gu
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A series of shots
Amanda was the first to see the body, and as soon as she saw it, she let out a hysterical scream that was loud enough to awaken the dead, startling the people with her. “Oh, my God! It’s a freaking corpse. It’s the corpse of one of our security men.” She shrieked, taking several steps back so that the policemen would deal with it. They were the professionals, after all. “Madam, could you be quiet, please, or better yet, it’s not too late for you to go back? This man has been shot dead and we have no idea if his shooter is somewhere around or not. The last thing we need is to draw attention to ourselves. Blake here will take you back to town.” One of the officers told her, drawing his gun, as did the others. “Okay, but there's no need for Blake to take me back. I’ll drive myself back. You need all the men that you can get. Please bring back my mother alive.” Amanda begged. “We’ll try our best, ma’am.” The man promised, and off the officers went, dispersing and leaving her all by
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A parting gift
“Please don’t shoot me. I’m just here looking for my mother.” Amanda pleaded, her voice shaking very badly because of how scared she was. “Well, good for you, because I’m looking for my brother as well.” “I don’t know where your brother is. Please let me go and I swear, I won't breathe a word of this to anyone.” “Shut the hell up, otherwise, I’ll shoot you and take my chances. Your constant yapping is giving me a headache. I’m not going to hurt you if you cooperate. I’m going to use you as bait to get my brother out of there unharmed. If you make any sound in a bid to attract attention to us, I'll blow your brains off." “Okay,” Amanda said. Her captor began to pull her forward, but just then, there came the sound of gunshots in the distance. “Shit! Shit!! Shit!!! I warned Sam. I fucking warned him.” The man swore. He continued to pull her forward, avoiding the route that the policemen had gone through. Amanda kept quiet and let him lead her through the bushes, hoping ag
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A long road to recovery
The media, as well as the internet, had a field day reporting the news of Derek’s rescue less than an hour after he was brought back to town with the police and admitted to a hospital.The location of the hospital was kept a secret so that he could heal in peace. He was still in shock, and could not stop marveling at the fact that he had made it alive out of those woods after all that he went through in there.Nobody had told him anything about Jerome yet, despite the fact that he asked them about him numerous times. He could only hope that the man had also survived.Mostly, he just wanted to rest, and so he spent most of the time sleeping in the hospital bed, while doctors poked at and prodded him, trying to nurse him back to health as soon as possible.The first visitor he was allowed to see was Denise. She hurried into the room, her eyes filled with tears, and kissed his forehead ever so gently.“Derek, I was so worried! I’m so glad you’re alive and I’m sorry you went through all t
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Overnight
"So I was wondering, babe …” Steve began, but then paused. He had come to pick up his sister's kid from school and ran into Ava there.“Yes? What were you wondering?” Ava prodded, giving him her attention.“How would you feel about spending the night at my place? I mean, I understand if you’d rather not and …” He trailed off, his cheeks becoming a faint pink. Ava smiled in amusement. The great and renowned playboy Steve was somewhat shy to ask her to spend the night in his house. She found it rather cute and endearing.“I would absolutely love that, but today can't work because I didn’t inform Harper’s nanny beforehand and my maid is off duty today. I’ll see if I can get the nanny to come this evening, but if she can't, then it will have to be tomorrow or next.” She replied.“Alright then, that’s great. I’ll look forward to your confirmation.” He told her and gave her a kiss on the lips, much to the delight of his young nephew, who began to giggle when they kissed.Ava went to get Ha
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Rediscovery
"I … um, well … I don’t think.” She began to say worriedly, but Steve cut her off and took her face in his hands. “Hey, hey. It was only a joke, but I can see that you don’t like it, and I will stop saying stuff like that. I get that it’s way too early in our relationship to be saying such things, so I won’t any longer, okay?” “Okay. I have a question, though.” Ava told him, her relief clear in her voice. “Sure, what is it?” “Well, I mean, you did say you were joking when you talked about Harper and I moving in or you and I becoming more serious than we are now, but is marriage something that you want to do in the near future?” she asked him. “Well, I don’t know for now. I would say no, but then, I want kids of my own someday, maybe not anytime soon, but I would definitely have kids. So you can relax. I can sense marriage is the furthest thing from your mind.” “It is…” “Good, then we’re on the same page. Let’s just enjoy the moment and forget about all talk of the future and wha
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Speculations
“Oh, my God! That is great news. So he was kidnapped, then? That’s crazy as hell. How can that happen in a big city like this?” Ava asked, coming to sit by him to watch what was being shown on the television.“It beats me, especially because of Derek’s wealth. Makes me realize that I had better beef up security around me. We live in crazy times. There’s not much news on him or what happened to him yet, but I guess we’re going to find out everything in the coming days. Even though he’s a pain in my ass, I’m happy for him that he’s been found.”“Yeah, me too.”“It beats me what correlation or relation they have to all of this, but apparently, Derek’s mother and Amanda were somehow involved in the fiasco earlier today. Amanda is injured because she was shot, and Derek’s mother is dead. She was shot dead by the police. No one knows how they found their way over to where Derek was held hostage or what they were doing there. ”“Oh, my goodness. There must have been some mistake. How on eart
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A changed attitude
To Derek’s surprise, Denise came to see him every day at the hospital until he was discharged. She was the last person that he wanted to see, and he would have very much preferred that it was Ava who came to see him, but of course, that was not going to happen.He had just had his afternoon meal when she came into the room yet again, with a bunch of flowers in her hands. Derek nearly groaned. He had asked her to stop coming, and instead, stay with Barry, but she obviously wasn’t about to listen to his instructions.“How are you feeling today, babe?” She asked him as she sailed into the room, dropping the flowers on the table in the room and coming to give him a kiss on the cheek. She seemed to be in great spirits today, which was surprising because she was always in a foul mood.“I feel fine, thank you for asking. I would prefer it if you stopped calling me babe, Denise. Have you heard anything about Jerome?” Derek asked her, his heart in his throat.He did not want to believe that J
