"Look, it doesn’t matter. As I said before, it’s all in the past. Damn, you’re beginning to make me sound like a broken record.” Ava told him, making to walk past him, but he stepped in front of her, his gaze pleading.“Ava, please, tell me what you’re talking about. I’m not trying to justify my horrid behavior to you while we were married, but I also need to know what you’re talking about.”“It doesn’t matter,” Ava told him stubbornly.As much as she liked to think that she was over Derek … and she was actually over him, thinking about his betrayal and the callous way in which he had discarded her still stung a bit.“Please, Ava. I need to know.”“Fine, fine. Whatever. I’m talking about the text that you sent to me the night I caught you kissing Denise at the restaurant that night you asked for a divorce. It was your mother’s birthday and I organized a dinner date at the restaurant, but left early when we had a confrontation and I saw you and Denise ... well …” Ava trailed off.Derek
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Reunion
SIX YEARS AGO“You’re not going to believe who called me today.” Amanda Turner told her brother, Derek, as they sat in a restaurant together, having drinks. She had appeared in his office out of the blue and demanded that he take her out, and short of being rude, there was no way he could refuse the demand, so here they were.“Really? And who was it?” Derek asked politely. It wasn’t like he was really interested because he did not exactly roll in the same circle as Amanda’s friends.“Guess.”“I can't guess, Amanda. I’m not in the mood for playing guessing games. Finish up your drink so I can drop you off at home and go back to my house. I have to be at the office early tomorrow.” Derek replied.Amanda was not pleased with this reply, and she pouted to show her displeasure, but her excitement was too great, so she continued talking, ignoring Derek’s unenthusiastic response.“It was Denise!” She revealed triumphantly, knowing that the name was bound to provoke a sort of reaction from he
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Mistake
Derek soon found out that reuniting with Denise was not as bad as he had thought it was going to be. They had been friends since college, after all, and he had actually missed her.She also knew a lot of things about him and his companies, so having her around was good. His mother and sister were thrilled at this reunion, but Derek wasted no time in telling them that it wasn’t what they were thinking at all.She had to work with his company, and that was the only reason he was hanging out with her so much. Soon, he realized that he was simply deceiving himself. Despite everything, he still had feelings for Denise, which had to make him the dumbest man on God’s green planet.He kept these feelings firmly under check, however, and immediately tried to distance himself from her, but since they had to work together, it was difficult to stay away from her entirely.Denise for her part, seemed to regard him as just a friend and did not seem to have any romantic feelings whatsoever towards
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge The order
PRESENT DAY The phone rang shrilly in the almost empty room, and Rooney, a one-time criminal who was very notorious for having committed several crimes in the past years, but somehow, always managed to get out of prison in record time, answered it on the third ring. “Yes?” He said into the phone in that gruff and gravelly tone that never ceased to make people afraid to cross him. “Rooney?” A female voice came from over the phone. “This is him. What ya want?” “Do you know who is speaking?” “I do. What ya want?” Rooney asked again. He had never been known for his warm or patient nature. “Okay. I just wanted to make sure. Listen, it’s time.” “Time for what?” “Time for what we discussed some months ago.” The female voice said. “Sure thing. I need my money before anything else, though.” “And you’ll get it in full and then some if you execute what I want perfectly.” “That’s good news to me ears. So it’s time for me to do it then? Do you want it to be done today, tomorrow, or some
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Late night drink
"Great work today,” Steve said to Ava, slipping into the empty stool beside her and signaling for the waiter to come over.She was sitting in a bar close to her hotel and slowly sipping a drink while thinking about the events of that day.“Oh, hey! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be resting after today’s hectic activities?” Ava asked him, noting how strong and handsome he looked and how good he smelled.A couple of women who were sitting close to where Ava was seated muttered excitedly to themselves, covering their mouths and giggling as they cast not-so-covert glances at Steve. He nodded and smiled politely at them before sitting beside Ava.“I was indeed about to go rest, but then I realized that I needed a drink, so I came down here, and lo behold, who should I run into but the very woman whom I haven't been able to get off my mind these past few days? God indeed works in mysterious ways.” Steve replied to her question, smiling mischievously at her, his pearly white
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Cut off
To Derek’s relief, Barry was admitted and stabilized within minutes of his arrival at the hospital. They were regular visitors at the hospital after all, so it was not always a hassle to get Barry admitted anytime he had a crisis.It was only after Barry was settled that Derek looked down at himself and realized that he was dressed in his pajamas. In his haste, he had neglected to change into more presentable clothes.Luckily enough, it was night, or rather early morning, depending on how one looked at it, which meant that he could quickly rush home and change into more presentable clothing before day.“I’m so sorry about what happened, boss. I came as soon as I could.” Jerome his bodyguard told him, coming up to meet him in the corridor of the hospital.Jerome was a huge and beefy man with a very stern expression, but he had a soft spot for Barry and always found time to play with him whenever he was less busy.“Ah, Jerome. You’re here. Thank goodness. How did you know I was gone?”“
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Underestimated
The first thing he noticed was the small but scary-looking gun the other guy brought out seemingly from nowhere and casually pointed at him.The second thing he noticed was that this was no ordinary robber but a hardened criminal. The look in the man’s eyeswas cold and mean enough to freeze even the hottest parts of hell.“Get in.” The man told Derek, angling his head to indicate that Derek was to get into the open passenger side of the car.“What do you want from me?” Derek asked, stalling and trying to see if he could find a way to wrestle the gun out of the man’s hand.He wasn’t by any means a trained fighter or anything, and this man who was waiting impatiently for him to get into the car looked like one who fought and shot people for a living.However, Derek wasn’t about to just hand himself over on a platter of gold, so he tried again.“Is it money you want? I have tons of it and would be more than glad to part with some of it if we both just agreed to forget this unfortunate l
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Information
The film crew was having a quick break when Ava noticed that Denise was having what appeared to be a heated conversation with Derek’s bodyguard. Ava remembered the man from when she was married to Derek, and they had even been friends back then.Derek was nowhere in sight, which was just as well, because she wasn’t interested in seeing him, especially since for the past few days, she had been having conflicted feelings about her decision to continue to keep him out of her child’s life.“You have no fucking right to talk to me in that tone. It is not my fault that your boss is a deadbeat father who would leave his son bedridden in a hospital, knowing fully well that I’m working. Anyway, the boy has a nanny, not so? Well, get the nanny to stay with him. You don’t very well expect me to leave the set in the middle of filming.” Denise yelled at the man, whose expression remained impassive.“There always has to be some drama where this lady is concerned.” Steve, who was seated close to Ava

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
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Something's off
"You’ll see her when you’re fully recovered, or at least when you've recovered to a good extent. I had to send her away to stay with my parents because I could not give her attention while spending most of my time here with you in the hospital.” Ava lied, surprised by how steady her voice was as she told the lie.“Is that safe at all? I don’t want whoever is after my life to go after her and your parents, or something.”“Don’t worry, Derek. No one is going to go after them. Damien has been of such immense help to us. He got bodyguards to be with them 24/7 until all this is over and whoever is behind it all is caught.” Ava told him, wondering if she should tell him that Steve was dead, and then deciding against it.There would be plenty of time for him to find out about it and other things that had happened while he was in a coma, such as Amanda and Denise of all people visiting her.“That’s so nice of him. He’s a real one … Damien.” Derek said. His voice was becoming weaker by the mom
