The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Getting rid of the evidence
The terror that Steve felt earlier quintupled immediately. This time around, however, he did not remain frozen in terror, because there was no time for that, and a sense of urgency had hit him.He rushed over to where Victoria was lying motionless on the ground and checked for a pulse. He found a very faint one and sagged in relief. Victoria was out cold though, and from the looks of her, she was going to be unconscious for quite a while, which was actually for the best, as he could go about discarding the corpses and think of how to convince her to keep her trap shut about the death of the girls.He could not go to jail for something that wasn’t his fault, after all. So he got the bodies of the two girls in the car and went back to make sure that the door to his house was locked firmly, and no one could get into it.He also took Victoria’s keys so that she would not be able to get out of the house. Then he got into his car, drove like a maniac to the lake where he planned to dump th
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Oversight
The first thing Steve noticed was the pieces of Victoria’s shattered phone. It was then he remembered that he had flung her phone against the wall in a panic earlier when she was trying to call the police.Victoria had only one phone, so how on earth had she managed to call Derek? He found the answer to that beside her. She had used his second phone, which he left on one of his tables to call Derek, which meant that Derek knew that she was with him.He tried to remember if he told Derek that he wasn’t at home and that Victoria wasn’t with him when Derek called him on his way home, but he couldn’t exactly remember. Fuck! Fuck!! Fuck!!! He was well and truly screwed. He supposed that he could lie that Victoria took his second phone home, and that was how she was able to use it to get in touch with Derek, but he wasn’t exactly sure that the lie would hold any weight.Steve could see that Victoria was very much conscious and she had even managed to move some distance from where she was ly
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Broken friendships
Steve took a minute to see if she would move, but she didn’t, so he approached her gingerly. Her right leg was resting at an odd angle, and was clearly broken, which was perfect for the story he was going to tell everyone about what had happened to her.He had pushed her down the stairs backwards, so that the bump at the back of her head from where it collided with the table earlier, could be explained away as a bump from her head colliding with the edges of the stairs.He bent beside her and was aghast to see that she had survived this fall. How on earth was that possible? The stairs were high enough for her to have succumbed to the fall, especially considering that she already wasn’t in the best of conditions when he pushed her down them.He did not bother to wait to analyze the situation any longer, but instead, hurried over to pick up the throw pillow from earlier, and placed it over her face.Her struggles were very feeble because of the injuries she sustained from the fall. Stev
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Welcome back
It had been ages since Derek felt this ecstatic about coming home from a business trip. In fact, this time around, coming home was all he looked forward to while he was on the trip.Although he talked to Ava and Harper every day while he was on the trip, hearing their voices on the phone wasn’t the same as seeing them and talking to them in person. Not, it wasn’t … not by a long shot.He arrived back in his city late in the evening, didn’t even eat the food that was prepared for him, but instead, headed straight to Ava’s house. She had gone back to her house against his advice after the whole brouhaha with the press died down.At least, she kept the bodyguard he assigned to her, although she kept complaining that there was no need for a bodyguard and she did not like the fact that the man followed her literally everywhere.Derek had informed her that he would be coming over to see her and Harper that evening, but he was totally unprepared for the burst of emotion and joy that filled b
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Questions
She immediately felt guilty for thinking this way, because there was no reason why she should feel that way. Steve had been nothing short of nice to her … a bit overbearing, maybe, but he definitely did not deserve to be thought of as a nuisance or a subject that ruined the mood.“Yes, he calls me every day. He’s actually arriving later tonight, which is a surprise because he originally told me that he would come back in two weeks.” She replied to Derek’s question.Derek wasn’t surprised. Steve was obviously rushing to come back home so that he could sweet-talk Ava into ignoring whatever it was that he was sure Derek was going to tell her.“I ran into him on my trip,” Derek said.“Ah, yes. He informed me about it that same night. Apparently, he and some members of the crew flew in to celebrate a birthday party.” Ava explained. She did not sound particularly worried or suspicious.“Ava, I want to ask you a serious question.”“Sure, what is it?”“Now, I don’t want you to see me as a med
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Doubts
“Are you suggesting that Steve might become violent towards me?” Ava was asking, her tone sounding a bit worried.“He dares not! However, I’m just saying if such a thing were to happen, then you can count on me to help you.”“Oh, okay,” she said, mulling all that he had said over.Derek wouldn’t understand, but she was glad … fiercely glad to know that Steve might be cheating on her. She supposed it was weird of her to feel that way, but the fact remained that she was a coward who didn't want to have to face him and tell him that she was no longer interested in the relationship.She had a feeling that he would not like that one bit, and now, what Derek had hinted about Steve being violent worried her.She had been suspecting that he was cheating on her for a while now, because, first of all, their sex life was nothing to write home about, and frankly, she didn’t care. They hardly ever had sex, and she knew without a doubt that he was getting it elsewhere.So she was biding her time an
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge An ally
“You won't guess what happened some days ago,” Amanda said to Denise, smiling secretively as she waited for the other woman to guess, but Denise wasn’t in the mood for guessing games.“What is it? I’ve got a headache, and as you well know, I'm not really good at playing guessing games.”“Well, well, well, someone’s in a shitty mood today. What's it with you and the scowling and grumpiness that you’ve been doing all day?” Amanda asked, not sounding particularly offended. In fact, she was in a very good mood.Money always put her in a good mood, and a few days back, she had received money … lots of it, from her dumb brother, so yeah, she was as happy as a kid in a candy store … at least for now.“Well, if you must know, I'm not happy at all. Derek has blocked my access to the account he gave me, from which I used to be able to withdraw at any time. I mean, I still had access to that account even after he kicked me out of his house, but now, I can't access it all of a sudden. How on eart
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Reminisce
"Anyway, you were going to tell me about something that happened some days ago,” Denise said, finally remembering that she wasn’t the one who started the conversation.“Ah, yes. Derek transferred my share of the money our father left behind to me. I’m now wealthy. I’m so happy.” Amanda divulged, her gaze far away.She was thinking about how she couldn’t wait for the luxury car she ordered immediately after receiving her money to arrive. It was also high time she went on a much-needed vacation.“Are you serious?” Denise asked, unable to hide the blatant jealousy and anger in her voice.“Yeah. I was surprised too.”“Hmm … is it just me or do you sound like now that he has paid you off, you no longer care about our plan to take all your father’s wealth for yourself?” Denise asked, watching Denise closely.“Of course, I still plan to do that. In fact, I plan to do that now more than ever. I was going to tell you, but we haven't seen each other in a few days, and I couldn't say such stuff

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
