The nerve!

Blair stared at her husband in disbelief, hardly able to imagine the nerve of him. It wasn’t enough that he impregnated some dumb bitch, but he had the balls to bring his bastard into their matrimonial home without even informing her of what he was going to do.

“Where on earth did you get a baby from and why the fuck have you brought it home?” Blair asked him, unable to hide her anger. There was a bag hanging from his shoulders, which clearly contained baby stuff.

“It’s my brother’s son, and he’s going to stay with us. I have decided to adopt him.” He replied, as though this was the most natural thing in the world.

“Excuse me?”

“Naturally, I'm going to hire a nanny to take care of him because I realize how sudden all of this is and I can't expect you to take care of a child you know nothing about or didn’t prepare for. It’s not going to be fair to you.”

“What on earth are you talking about? How can you just bring a strange child into our home like that and think I'll just roll ove

    “Just tell me one thing, as that is the only thing that matters to me, not any of the things you’ve been saying since you started talking. Is Barry truly dead? These men told me that he was and that someone close to the family told them that. I'm guessing that someone was you.” Derek said, interrupting Blair mid-story. He could tell that she was pissed at the interruption, but he could not care less.“No, he’s not, but he will soon be, which is for the better. He's taking too long to do it, in my opinion. I don’t recognize him as my grandchild. The only grandchildren I will ever recognize are the ones that would come from Amanda. Any grandchildren from you are bastards, in my opinion.”“Well, good luck with that. Amanda can't keep a man long enough for them to get into a solid relationship, not to talk of her giving you any grandchildren.”“Watch your goddamned mouth. Anyway, Barry’s supposed death was just something I told these people to tell you so you would not spend your entire t

    Jerome and the man who was holding him captive by pointing a gun at him and leading him through the forest had only walked for about twenty to thirty minutes when Jerome decided to hell with it!He was not about to be led like a sheep to the slaughter by the asshole behind him.He needed answers and since he did not know how many more armed men were at wherever this man was taking him to, he needed those answers here and now. This asshole was going to provide him with those answers whether he liked it or not.“I have to pee,” Jerome said, breaking the silence that had been between them since they started walking.“I don’t give a flying fuck. If you need to pee that desperately, do it on your fucking self in your fucking pants. All I know is that I want you to keep moving, if not, you might open your eyes in the great beyond quicker than you can say ‘Jack Robinson.”“This is highly inconvenient.

    “Mom? Mom, where are you? I need to tell you something.” Amanda called out, knocking several times on the door to her mother’s room, but she got no reply, which was strange because her mother never went anywhere without informing her, about it first. Also, when Amanda knocked on her door earlier in the day before she went on her fact-finding spree with Denise, her mother didn’t answer the door either. She could not wait to tell her mother about her findings … that the woman they both loathed so much had a child for Derek. She needed to get her mother’s input on that very annoying information. Pushing the door open, Amanda made her way into the large and tastefully furnished room and looked around. Her mother’s bed was made, but she wasn’t in the room. She saw the letter that her mother had left behind and quickly scanned it, then sighed in relief before picking up her phone to place a call across to her. To her surprise, the call didn’t go through … something which never ever

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   RAMBLING CONTINUED

    BACK IN THE DAY Not long after the bastard child came into their lives, things turned for the better for the Turners. Mr. Turner finally got a huge loan approved and was able to get funding from some investors, which he used to start his dream company. The business took off really fast and became an overnight success, much to Mr. Turner’s and even Blair’s joy. He no longer talked about a divorce, and his bastard son had become integrated into their family. To Blair’s chagrin, however, her husband attributed his overnight success to the entrance of his son into their lives and called the boy, whom he named Derek, his ‘lucky charm.’ This never ceased to piss her off, especially when she noticed that he had started to show favoritism to the child over their own flesh and blood, Amanda. He still didn’t bother to confess that he was the real father of the child to Blair, and Blair also didn’t tell him that she knew about his secret. So long as he did not expect her to be the

    Blair did not think that she was going to ever forget the day the will was read in a hurry. That was the day she found out that her husband, whom she had adored for all these years, was nothing but an asshole who placed his bastard son above her, his own wife.She sat there in shock as she found out that her husband had willed almost everything that he had to Derek. Amanda’s trust fund, which was substantial, but was mere peanuts compared to what Derek was given, was hers to keep, but that was all she got.Blair was also well provided for, but again, what she got was nothing compared to what Derek got. For starters, the huge loan that he took from his father to start up his company was written off.Then the bulk of his father’s wealth was passed down to him, with the instructions that he could lend a helping hand to his mother and sister as he saw fit.This was such a huge blow and insult to Blair, who could not believe that her husband would have the audacity to do such a thing, but

    Blair listened to Derek give his absurd ultimatums, hardly able to believe that this was happening to her of all people. How could it be that a bastard boy, whom she had pitied and let live under her roof all these years, now had the unmitigated gall to dictate how she and her daughter, who were the rightful heirs of her husband’s wealth were going to benefit from that wealth.“You must be joking,” Blair told Derek in fury.“I wish I was, mother, but the fact is that I'm not. I will not sit by and watch you both squander everything that Dad spent his lifetime building in a matter of a few years. Since Amanda has refused to be reasonable and you cannot say no to her whims and caprices, then we will have to do things the hard way.”“What the fuck do you mean by that? I don’t care about any of the big grammar you’re using. I want money and you're going to give it to me. That's what Dad used to do.” Amanda told Derek.“Well, in case you failed to notice, Dad is no longer here. I’m in cha

    PRESENT DAYThere was a long pause as Blair finally stopped talking to take a breath. Derek did not bother to say anything into the silence, because his chest and arm had only just stopped throbbing from the pain that was inflicted on him the last time he dared to interrupt her.“Well, are you not going to say something?” Blair prodded him.“Poor Denise. I can't bring myself to feel sorry for her though. How exactly do you intend to frame her for my kidnap and subsequent death?”“Oh, that’s easy. Leave it to me to do that and don’t worry your handsome head about it.”“Alright then. I won't. do you think I could go and sleep a little now, or do you intend to finish me off anytime soon?” Derek asked Blair.He was putting on a brave front, even though inwardly, he was terrified. The last thing he wanted was to die and it was crazy to think that it was most likely going to happen in the span of a few hours or even minutes because Blair looked like she had gotten everything that she wante

    There was silence for a while and then Rooney got up and went outside to check out what was going on. Derek could not exactly make out what he and the other person were saying, but in less than ten minutes, he got the shock of the century.Rooney and another man came in, dragging someone who was tied up and bleeding from his arm. The bleeding man seemed familiar and when the two men who held him captive roughly shoved him to the ground, Derek understood why.It was Jerome, his head of security at home. Blair too was clearly shocked, and for a second, she seemed at a loss as to what to do.“What the fuck is he doing here?” She asked, at last, directing her question to the new man who shrugged before answering.“I found him close to the edge of the woods, near your car. When I questioned him, he said that he was camping nearby and was just loitering around. Rooney here says otherwise, however. He says that the man is this guy’s bodyguard.” The man replied, indicating Derek as ‘this gu

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   Epilogue

    The day was bright, sunny, and cheerful, as were the people who were present at Derek's house to celebrate with him and Ava as they got married for the second time.The large garden at their house had been decorated beautifully and had served as their wedding venue. The two were the stars of the show, and they had eyes for no one but each other.They had just exchanged their vows again, to the thunderous cheers of their friends, family, and well-wishers.To put it more precisely Derek was the one with the friends, while Ava was the one with her family members present.Derek didn’t have any extended family members left, and neither did he want any. The family that he had built and was still building was more than enough for him.He had Ava, who was the best and most supportive partner that anyone could have, and with whom he was madly in love, and vice versa.He also had his beautiful daughter, Harper, who was growing up so fast and was so smart and well-behaved that she melted hearts

    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

    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

    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

    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 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

    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
