"Hey … hey, don’t do that, okay? I took a big risk coming here because I felt that you would like to hear my proposition.” The man told her urgently.Amanda closed her mouth and took another good look at him. She was right and it was indeed who she thought that it was, and she could not believe the nerve of him in coming to meet her like this in the open.It was one of the criminals who had captured her on that fateful day when her mother was shot and killed out there in the woods. In fact, it wasn’t just one of them, but it was the very one who had captured her and later shot her through the foot as a parting gift.“You have some nerve showing your face here or anywhere in town. Mark my words, you’re not going to leave this establishment a free man.” Amanda told him harshly, hating the very sight of him.Needless to say, every thought of getting laid had flown out of her mind and all she could think about was the different ways in which she would like him to be tortured.“Oh, I think

"I hate him too. If not for him and his busybody, my brother, Sam would still be alive.” The man said, sadness clouding his features for a second. As crazy as Amanda was, she still thought how insane of him it was for him to be mad at Derek for getting his brother killed when the fact was that he and his brother were trying to get Derek killed when it happened. Talk about delusional! Still, his delusion served her purposes quite well, so she was willing to play along with him and get what she wanted out of it. It was still surreal to her that her mother had gone to all that trouble and gotten herself killed just because she wanted Amanda to have her rightful inheritance and the thought of Blair’s selflessness caused tears to spring to Amanda’s eyes. She was going to avenge her mother, she vowed fiercely to herself. Derek was a thief and an usurper. She was the firstborn child, and by reason of that, she was supposed to inherit the bulk of what her father had built over the years.

"Mom, your phone is ringing,” Harper said, coming into Ava’s room with the said phone, which Ava had forgotten in the living room before she came into her room to try to have a nap.“Oh, thanks, honey,” Ava replied and took the phone from the child before looking at the screen to see who was calling.It was Derek, and she was surprised that he still had her number, but then, she realized that he could easily have gotten it from numerous sources if he didn’t have it again.She on the other hand, still knew his number by heart, despite the fact that it had been years since she last dialed it.“Hello.” She said into the phone.“Hello, Ava. How are you doing today?” He asked her politely.“I’m good, thank you, and you?”“I’m fine too. I was calling to check up on you and Harper.”“Oh, thank you. We’re both fine. Also, I was thinking that we should meet somewhere over the weekend to discuss how we’re going to share custody of her. Well, I don’t exactly mean custody, but you both can get to
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Generous
Derek was having a late lunch when his phone started to ring and when he picked it up, he saw that it was Ava who was calling. His heart skipped a beat because it had been ages since he saw her name displayed on his phone screen, but he immediately composed himself.She was someone else’s now, so there was no reason why he should feel giddy when she called him. By the time she picked up the call and spoke, his opinion was solidified.“Hello, Ava.” He said into the phone.“Uh, hi, Derek. I’m sorry to be calling out of the blues, but I figured that we could just talk over the phone,” she replied.“Oh, I hope nothing is the matter. You and Harper are fine, right?”“Yes, yes. It’s nothing like that. We’re both fine, but Steve isn't in support of you and me meeting to discuss.” Ava told him, sounding a little embarrassed.“Ah, I get it,” Derek said, although he didn’t get it at all. There was no way that they wouldn't have to meet in the end, no matter what Steve thought. They shared a chi
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge The nerve!
BACK IN TIMEHe wasn’t being fair to Ava. Derek knew that, but he just couldn’t help himself. Her nagging all the time drove him crazy, and the more he stayed away from her in the guise of working hard, the more he saw her sink into despair.This made him feel guilty as hell, but Ava did not take the hint and realize that the marriage was as good as over as he hoped that she would. Each morning that he left for work before she woke up, she called him, sounding normal as she asked him how his night was and all that.Derek realized that it was up to him to be a man and tell her that he wasn’t interested in the marriage any longer. This wasn’t exactly true, but it was the only way to get her to stop hoping futilely. The truth was that he didn’t actually mind being married to her any longer. In fact, he had come to actually like being married.The only problem was that they both wanted different things and he could tell that she wasn’t happy anymore. She desperately wanted kids. He despe
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Another point of view
Denise had informed him that she was pregnant and was refusing to get rid of it, no matter how many times he begged her to. He had begged her, as well as threatened not to have anything to do with her and the child or contribute to its upkeep, but nothing swayed her.“Ava nearly died from a miscarriage when she got pregnant early on in our marriage. I promised myself not to get anyone pregnant and risk such a thing happening again until we were both tested to make sure that everything was fine.” He told Denise, grasping at straws, but she was unperturbed.“I’m not your wife, Derek, and I can assure you that I’m very healthy and will carry this pregnancy to term quite easily. I’ve always wanted a baby. And now that I’m on my way to having one, nothing is going to stop me. Your sperm isn't poisonous like you obviously think it is. What happened to your wife was unfortunate, but it’s not going to happen every single time. In summary, I'm keeping the baby, and nothing you do or say is goi

He left the house and went off to quickly sign off the deal that he had mentioned, and then went with the clients to have dinner. Throughout the drive to the restaurant, his mind wasn’t settled as he kept wondering how Ava was, what she was doing, and how she was absorbing the news of the divorce.He didn’t get to wonder for very long, as he soon found out. As they got to the entrance of the restaurant, Denise strode faster to catch up with him and linked her arm with his as though they were the world's happiest couple.Short of appearing rude in front of the client who had come with them, he could not extricate his arm from hers, so he gave her a tight smile that expressed his displeasure at the unwanted gesture as they entered the restaurant.Denise for her part, smiled at him very brightly as though she had done nothing wrong, and chattered away. She had been quite talkative all through this evening, and he wondered why.Even the client who was with them found her to be funny and l
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Delusional
For the past several days, Amanda had been walking about with a spring in her step. She hadn't heard from the guy who had walked up to her in the restaurant that day, Logan, but she was confident that she would soon hear from him and that he would reach out to her when he was well and truly ready.She was no longer afraid of him because she knew now that they had the same goal, and that was to get rid of their common enemy. What Logan didn’t know yet was that he was going to help her get rid of other enemies aside from Derek.She did not mind emptying her account, or even spending all that her mother had left her just for that to happen. She would get all that belonged to Derek once her plan was accomplished, and would regain everything that she had lost a thousandfold, after all.She needed to make sure that her mother did not die in vain. She had died trying to make sure that Amanda got what she deserved, and by God, Amanda was going to make her wish come true. Besides, the earth nee

“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
