The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge The nerve!
Rage was too mild a word to describe the emotion that Derek was feeling as he took Ava in his arms and listened to her sob while he tried his best to comfort her.The thought of Steve laying his filthy hands on Ava was enough to make Derek want to break every single bone in his body and listen to him squeal in pain without showing him mercy.He had known all along that Steve hadn't and couldn't, or wouldn't change his horrid behavior. A leopard couldn’t change its spots, after all.Derek had failed Victoria, but he wasn’t about to do the same with Ava. He wasn’t about to let Steve get away with hitting Ava, even if he and Ava were no longer an item, as Ava told Derek. Thankfully, Ava wasn’t like Victoria, in the sense that she wasn't going to cover for Steve and continue to take his abuse silently while refusing every form of help.“I’m really sorry. I don’t know why I’m crying. You did try to warn me, after all.” Ava apologized, raising her head and wiping at her eyes. She was look
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Beaten hands down
Derek was already anticipating such a move from Steve, so the shove did not even shake him too much.He shoved Steve back with the full force of his anger, catching him unawares so that he staggered backward comically and ended up landing on his butt.Steve sputtered in indignation, got up with the full force of his fury, and rushed at Derek. His hand was raised and he formed a fist to punch Derek, but again Derek was prepared. He had always known how to fight because his Dad used to demand that he take self-defense classes from time to time when he was younger.After he recovered from the kidnapping ordeal, he became nearly obsessed with learning every single self-defense technique there was, so taking on Steve was a walk in the park for him.He blocked off Steve’s punch as easily as an adult could take candy from a baby and delivered a solid and oh-so-satisfying punch of his own to Steve’s jaw so that the other man staggered back several paces due to the force of the punch.It too
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Same old story
"You know what? I've been thinking seriously about that idiot Jerome." Amanda said out of the blue to Denise.The two women were lounging in the new luxurious pool that Amanda recently added to her house that she inherited from her mother."What about him? Why will you let an almost dead man occupy your thoughts?" Denise asked, not really interested in the conversation.She was more worried about the fact that no one seemed to be interested in buying her house, which she put up for sale.She had bought the house at a very exorbitant rate because she was desperate and needed to be close to Derek's house. Besides, back then, she did not ever imagine that Derek would cut her off, or even worse, that she would find herself in the current predicament in which she was.Now, that she wanted to sell it off because she was broke, no one was willing to buy it at the price she was offering, even though she drastically reduced the price compared to the amount she bought it."Well, that's the thin
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Bargaining
True to her word, Amanda demanded to see Logan the following day, going as far as to threaten to hire another person if he continued to avoid her.When he saw that she was serious about her threat, he grudgingly agreed that they meet, and met up with her at a park in town. As far as she was concerned, he didn’t need to know that she didn't have the slightest idea where or how to go about hiring an assassin.“I told you that I didn’t want to rush this stuff, didn’t I? Rushing the job was what got my brother killed the last time, and while I love him very much, I'm in no hurry to see him. Besides, like I think I once told you, I have to wait for one of my guys to come back to the country. With him by my side, we’ll take these people down in no time. There’s no hurry unless you want the plan to go to shit.”“I know that. Don’t you think I know that? However, it's taking too long for you to do it. That's not why I called you to come see me today though. I asked you to come because we hav
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Dampened spirits
For the past few days, Derek had been in high spirits. Since that night when he and Steve had their altercation at Ava’s house, Steve left her alone, and as far as he could tell, Ava was glad about that.As a matter of fact, so was Derek. He had been seriously worried about the fact that such a shady and abusive character as Steve was hanging around his daughter and Ava, but now that Steve was gone, he felt much better.As he was thinking about this, there was a knock on his office door, and then the person came in without waiting for a response. It turned out to be Derek’s assistant, and the look on his face wasn’t a pleasant one."I’m sorry to disturb you boss, but I’m afraid that I have some bad news.” Derek’s assistant told him.“Jeez! Those aren’t words I want to hear right now. What’s the matter?” Derek asked the man, already steeling his mind to hear whatever it might be. “It’s about Jerome, sir. Unfortunately, we just received a phone call from the hospital that he died this
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Appraisal
The voices inside the house died down when Derek knocked, and he heard footsteps as someone approached to answer the door.A few seconds later, the door opened, and he found himself face to face with a woman who looked to be in her late fifties to early sixties.She was a beautiful woman and a replica of Ava in an older form. Looking at her, he knew without anyone telling him that this was Ava's mother. He had never met any of Ava's family members, even though he had been married to her for three good years, and that said a lot about the type of man he used to be.Great! He was meeting Ava's mom unexpectedly while he was stressed and disheveled since he was still wearing the clothes that he wore when he left for the office that morning, plus he had also had a very busy and stressful day.The woman looked him up and down, and her eyes lit up. They shone with interest as looked at him inquiringly, and he could tell that she was impressed by what she saw, despite how tired he was."And
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Altercation
"I am, sir. It's very nice to meet you." Derek replied, feeling like he had repeated the words 'it's very nice to meet you,' a million times already.He offered his hand for Ava's father to shake, fully prepared for the hand to be ignored, and was surprised when the man shook the hand without hesitation."You say it's nice to meet me. Well, I call bullshit, and I can't say the same about meeting you though." Ava's dad said."Oh. I'm really sorry to hear that.""You should be.""Grandpa. You said a bad word." Harper chastised."I know honey, and I'm sorry. Anyway, I think dinner is ready. We should go eat." Ava's dad said, getting up.Derek remained where he was standing, wondering if it was going to be rude to tell them goodbye and beat a hasty retreat. He couldn't do that, though. It was better to face and hopefully overcome their anger now than to postpone it since he had every intention of getting back with Ava and building a family with her if she was interested."Well, what are
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Trading words
Ava bade Derek goodbye, feeling really sorry for him. He looked very worried as he left, and she guessed that he was probably worried that her parents would convince her not to let him see Harper or something.Her parents would never do that, and they had, in fact, urged her to tell Derek about the birth of his daughter after she gave birth to Harper.They believed that every child should have both parents in their life, so long as the parents in question were good parents and anyone could see that Derek was a great father.What they were worried about was the fact that Ava was so close and friendly with the man who shattered her heart into a million pieces years ago. Although Ava certainly understood where they were coming from, she was also an adult who could make her decisions by herself, and she valued her friendship with Derek very much because it made co-parenting with him super smooth and easy."Well? Has he left?" Ava's mom asked her as soon as she got back."Yes, he has," Av
