The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Reminisce
The house was small, but beautifully furnished and looked really cozy and homey. That was the same way his house had looked when he was married to Ava and had let her add her touches to it.It was the same reason why he hardly changed anything after she left back then. That, and the fact that having his house remain the same way reminded him of her.“Here you go. Do you want anything to eat?” Ava asked him, handing him the drink that she had gone to prepare for him.“Thank you, and no. There’s no need for you to go to any trouble on my account. I’ll have something prepared by my chef at home later on.” Derek replied, sipping the drink.“It's not a problem. I was already preparing food before you guys came, and incidentally, I made more than enough for us and was going to put the rest in the refrigerator. There’s no need to do that since you’re here. I’ll be just a moment.” Ava replied.At that moment, Harper came back into the room, armed with several toys which she dumped at Derek’s

Right there on the television screen was Denise, giving an interview to anyone and everyone who would care to listen. It was crazy how fast after his encounter with her at the house she was giving this interview.She looked a hot mess, with strands of her hair flying every which way and her expression livid as she ranted on live television.“He didn't even wait for our son's body to get cold before running off into that impostor’s arms. Do you know how many years we were together and didn't get married, yet he married that woman who is only after his money mere months after meeting her? He was flaunting his daughter with her at me too, not minding the grief I was going through, less than two hours after our son’s death.” Denise was saying.She was painting him to be the black sheep, and herself a saint, probably because she knew that he was too embarrassed to tell the whole world that she had given him another man's child to raise, and he had fallen in love with the child, and still c

“Who could it be? I’m not expecting any visitors today.” Ava said, getting up to go check who was at the door.Derek was not surprised when he heard Steve’s voice a few seconds after he heard the door open. Disappointment wracked his whole being. How did Steve always manage to show up at the most inopportune time to ruin his plans?Now, he would have to postpone telling Ava what he wanted to tell her because there was no way he was going to say all that in front of Steve. Hell, he knew that Steve would not give him the space to do that even if he wanted to.A minute later, Ava was ushering Steve into the dining room where Derek and Harper were still eating. Derek wondered if he was imagining the disappointment on Ava’s face and decided that he probably was and it was wishful thinking on his part.“I saw what Denise was doing on the news and immediately came over to check that you were alright.” Steve was saying to Ava. Derek knew that the reason the other man had come was because Deni

Time hadn’t been good to Andrew Tanner in the least. His life was meaningless and had been so for a while now.He had thought that he would be able to get some money from that wicked and heartless bitch, Denise, which he would have used to get his life back on track, at least to some extent.However, it turned out that she hadn't changed at all. She was still the same heartless, wicked bitch that he had known back then who thought only about herself.For several months now, he had been struggling to make ends meet and living from hand to mouth, unable to believe that sometime in the not-so-distant past, he had once lived like a king.Now, he looked nothing like his former self and had aged far more than he should. He looked much older than his peers and that was saying something, considering that he was already about to enter his sixties.Denise was living large and enjoying herself, while he, who had made it possible for her to do so, was rotting in the slums, hardly able to afford a

"Who is this and what do you want?" Derek asked again. He sounded like he was about to end the call, so Andy dropped his show of acting mysterious and spoke quickly."I'm an erstwhile friend, turned enemy of Denise. I saw the interviews she was granting earlier today and I felt bad on your behalf, so I decided to come clean to you and help you in any way I can.""I'm listening.""I don't know if you are aware of this fact, but the child that just died isn't your biological child.""Who exactly are you?""I'm Barry's biological father. Do you mind if we met somewhere private to discuss?" Andy asked."Actually no. I know how this is going to go, or at least I have a very good guess. You're going to ask for money so that you don't spill the secret to the public. Well, I don't care what you do or you don't do, okay? You can spill the secret to the public if you so wish. In fact, you will be doing me a great favor.""I was hoping that you'd say that sir. I figured that you wouldn't want to

"So, I’m going to point you in the direction of paparazzi, and you’re going to give them all the juicy details while leaving my name out of it. I wanted to do that myself before, but the thought of going on television and saying all that stuff nauseates me, so you're going to do it for me. You can sell the information to the paparazzi. I believe you're going to make a good amount of money, considering the fact that Barry's death is currently trending on the gossip channels.” Derek said.“I know I can make some money sir, but I'm not sure I'm going to make a lot of it that way. I just need enough money to set up a business for myself and …”“Take it or leave it, Andy my man. As you well know, I don't owe you a damn thing. If you’ve got a good head on your shoulders, as well as a great bargaining spirit, then you should be able to make some good money from the paparazzi. Let me know how it goes once you’re done, and I may decide to compensate you for your efforts.” Derek said into the p
Last Updated : 2024-08-29The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Satisfaction
Andy was clearly having a field day as he fielded questions from the paparazzi. He left out no part of the story, but said everything the way it had happened, saying parts that even Derek didn’t know about because Denise had conveniently omitted those parts when she confessed what she had done to him.Andy talked about how Denise had abandoned Derek after his accident and had gone in search of fame, only to come back when she found out that Derek was now far richer than she had imagined that he would be.Then he went on to talk about how he had helped Denise go about getting Derek back after they got back into the country. Just listening to the man talk caused Derek to cringe.He couldn’t believe that he had been fooled so utterly and smoothly, despite priding himself on being a world-wise man. Andy’s story made him look like a gullible and foolish man, who was so easily deceived.He listened to the man talk about how he and Denise had drugged Derek and planted evidence to make it loo

He didn’t see any missed calls from Ava and was a little disappointed about that. Maybe she hadn't seen the news yet, although he doubted that. She probably just didn’t care, and he wouldn't blame her if that was the case.Well, it didn’t change anything. He was still going to explain things to her as soon as he got the chance to get her alone. He would apologize for the weak man he had been back then when they were married.He was still thinking about this when his phone rang again. It was Damien this time around.“Hey, man,” Derek said into the phone.“What the hell is going on exactly and why is your face plastered all over the news this morning?” Damien asked without preamble.“Well, what do you think? Didn’t you listen to the news?”“You mean to tell me everything that that asshole is spewing out of his mouth is true? Oh, pardon my manners. I'm so sorry about Barry. I found out this morning that he passed yesterday morning and have been calling you, but you weren't answering your

The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Renewed proposal
He led her back to his room, walked over to a drawer by the side of his bed, opened it, and brought out something from inside it.When he turned towards her and she saw what it was that he brought out of it, Ava gasped out loud.It looked like the black box in which her engagement ring had come several years ago.Derek had always had a taste for good things, and he had the money to support his taste.Thus back then, even when he wasn’t really into her, and was only marrying her out of pity, he had gotten her a beautifully crafted and expensive engagement ring.As he opened the box in his hands now and got down on one knee, she could see that it was the same ring that was inside it.He had kept it even after all these years! Tears sprung to her eyes, filling them as he professed his love to her and asked her to marry him again, promising to treat her right this time around and make up for all the lost years.“Yes, yes, Derek. Of course, I’ll marry you! There’s nothing I want more.” She
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A pleasant surprise
Ava wasn’t about to take any chances though. After hugging the living daylights out of Derek, while he hugged her back just as tightly, she insisted that they had to visit the hospital right then.“But it’s already late. Besides, I don’t think there's anything they can do or will have to do. We can wait until tomorrow to go there and celebrate this night instead.” Derek suggested, his voice rife with meaning as he threw a suggestive wink Ava’s way, but she didn't allow herself to be swayed.“No way in hell. We’ve waited too long for you to regain your memory to just take it so lightly now that it has finally happened. We’re going now, and that’s that!”“As Her Royal Highness wishes.” Derek joked, making a small, formal bow that made Ava smile.Yes, he was back. She could see in his eyes that he truly recognized her, but even better, he had the same look in his eyes that he used to have before he went to the conference and everything changed.The look that told her that he was in love
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Rememberance
She picked up the papers with the slowness of a very old woman and scanned through them, her hands shaking.She was not surprised to see her name, as well as Derek’s name on the papers because she had recognized the papers the minute they fell out of the book.It was the same ones that Derek had handed to her on that night several years ago, which she had had no choice but to reluctantly sign, while crying her eyes out and swearing never to forgive him for everything that he had done to her.Except that he hadn't really done anything in the sense of the word ... at least, not in the way that she thought.Why on earth were these papers still with him? She had signed them and left that day without giving any thought to what he was going to do with them.Her signature was there on the paper, right where she had signed it haphazardly. In fact, she thought that she could still see a tear mark or two on the papers since she was crying when she signed them, but she couldn’t be sure since th

They walked in companionable silence to Derek’s room. Once they were inside the room, he led her to his walk-in closet where he had stored the journals, making sure to keep a respectable distance between them.Ava knew that it was because she had complained about the scent of his cologne, and now, she wished that she had kept her wide mouth shut.“It’s all in there. Here, let me look for the specific one you asked about.” Derek said, picking it out and handing it to her.“Oh, thank you. Are you sure that you don’t mind me reading it?”“Not in the least bit. I feel like I’d be doing the guy who wrote all that stuff a huge solid by letting you see for yourself all the things that he wanted to say to you for so long but was too chicken to say. He might want to kill me for doing it, but I think he’ll be better for it in the long run.” Derek replied, shrugging.“Okay then,” Ava said happily.Derek, for his part, suddenly became self-conscious. What if she thought that he was a sappy fool a
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge No hesitation
Several seconds passed, and then Derek rushed in the direction that she had gone.He found her in the restroom adjoining the living room. She was throwing up violently into the toilet bowl.Derek went over to her and moved her hair away from her face, providing support until there was nothing for her to throw up anymore.Once she was done, she slowly turned to face him. It was clear that she was reluctant to turn, andDerek remained immobile for a few more seconds before rushing after Ava.He found her in the restroom adjoining the living room, throwing up violently into the toilet bowl, and rushed towards her.He held her and moved her hair away from her face until there was nothing for her to throw up anymore.Then she slowly and reluctantly turned to face him, a fact that wasn't lost on him. In fact, she seemed to be inching awayfrom him so that there was a little space between them.He figured that it was because she had just finished throwing up the contents of her bowel and did
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Unexpected
The next day, Derek arrived home from work with a huge bouquet of flowers for Ava and a smaller one for Harper. The two of them were in the living room, watching Harper’s favorite cartoon and looking all comfy and cozy. Their eyes lit up the moment Derek stepped into the living room, and this filled him with warmth. Harper in her usual fashion, bounded up to run over to him to give him a big hug. Her hugs were one of his favorite things nowadays, and he could never get tired of receiving them for as long as he lived. Ava, on the other hand, was more reserved in her welcome towards him, but she did smile at him in welcome. Her eyes were always cautious around him, which kind of made him sad because that emotion was definitely different from the one he wrote about in his journals after she warmed up to him. “Welcome home. Derek. What have you got there behind you?” Ava asked him. “Thank you. I got you both some flowers.” He replied, and brought forward the hand that was holding th
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Third time is a charm
As the days passed and Derek's memory didn't return, he got more and more frustrated because it felt like things were at a standstill due to the memory loss.On the bright side, catching up with work wasn't difficult for him at all. In fact, it was one of the easiest things he had to deal with and he spent several hours a day at it while Harper was at school and Ava was trying to get back to work.Catching up with the rest of his life was what was difficult though. Nothing made sense, and so he had to go through all of his stuff, trying to find out more about his current than he already knew.He managed to find out a lot just by doing this. He had always been very organized and used to keep journals that documented his daily life.Apparently, he still kept these journals and they were all arranged neatly on a shelf in his library.He went through each and every one of them, trying to catch a glimpse of the man he now was. Going through them made him realize just how different he was f

She smiled at him and slowly came out from behind the chair. Derek had no idea for how long she had been hiding there, but it seemed that it had been quite a while.“Daddy…” She said and without warning, rushed at him and embraced him tightly with more strength than he would have expected a child to have.Derek awkwardly patted her back and embraced her too, not sure if he should pick her up, kiss her cheek, ruffle her hair, or anything like that.“How are you?” He asked her, wincing as soon as the words left his mouth. He sounded like he was having a formal meeting with some board of directors or something like that, not talking to a child.However, Harper didn’t seem to mind. In fact, she made his decision for him by raising her arms, indicating that he should pick her up.“I’m fine, daddy. The bad woman told me that you died, but I didn’t believe her.” Harper told him.Derek immediately did as she wanted and she rested her head on his shoulder in the sweetest gesture ever. To his
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Back home
A few days later, Derek was set to be discharged from the hospital. Everything felt so strange to him, and he felt a tad lonely.He had spent the last days of his hospital stay catching up on his present life or what it was supposed to be like.Nothing made sense to him, and he tried not to dwell too much on the grief that plagued him anytime he thought about his dad or the fact that the other remaining members of his family had turned out the way they had.Reading and watching all the pieces of news that he could gather about the whole incident, as well as asking tons of questions, made him not hurt as much as he would have at Denise's or Blair's death and Amanda's incarceration.He could not wrap his head around anyone doing what they had done, especially the fact that they kidnapped and tortured two innocent children, one of whom was his own daughter.He still had yet to meet his little girl, but he was going to see her that day when he got home.He was nervous as hell, about the m
