The CEO's Ex-Wife Gets Revenge Chapter 102: Worthy (2)
Flora ate her lunch distractedly, her thoughts still swirling with the excitement of Damien's visit. The taste of her meal barely registered as she replayed their earlier encounter in her mind. Just as she took another bite, her phone buzzed on the desk beside her. She glanced at it, and her breath caught when she saw the notification from Facebook. Janice had accepted her friend request.For a moment, Flora just stared at the screen, her sandwich halfway to her mouth. A mix of emotions washed over her—relief, anticipation, and a touch of elation. She hadn’t expected Janice to accept so quickly. This was her chance to uncover the truth. Not only had Janice accepted her friend request, but she had also sent a message.Curious, Flora set her lunch aside and opened the message. Her eyes scanned the text, and her heart began to beat faster. The message from Janice was smug and cryptic: “I wondered how long it would take for you to reach out to me. I have all the answers you’re desperately
The CEO's Ex-Wife Gets Revenge Chapter 103: Temptation at the Marigold (1)
As Flora stepped outside of the building, Damien was already waiting by his car, leaning casually against his door with a grin that lit up his entire face. The moment he saw her, his grin widened, and he strode over to her , wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her into a deep, passionate kiss. Flora melted into the kiss, her hands gripping onto his shoulders for dear life. Damien's lips were soft yet demanding, and she felt a familiar heat pool in her belly.His kiss stirred something in her, awakening a desire she hadn't realized she'd been holding back all day. For a brief moment, she considered skipping the dinner altogether, dragging Damien to the nearest hotel, and letting their pent up passion take over. But she quickly reined in her thoughts, reminding herself of where they were. Knowing Damien, he had likely reserved a table at one of the most exclusive spots in town and she didn't want to waste the opportunity to sit and talk with him. To simply be with hi

Several hours later, Flora was awakened from a peaceful slumber by the shrill notification sound of her phone. Groggily, she raised her head from Damien’s chest, where she had fallen asleep, and tried to pinpoint where the noise was coming from. Damien remained asleep, his breathing deep and even, undisturbed by the noise. Flora’s eyes scanned the darkened hotel room, adjusting slowly to the dim light filtering through the curtains from the street outside. She realized her phone was still in her bag, which had been hastily thrown into a corner when she and Damien first entered the room. The notification sound had stopped, and for a moment, Flora was tempted to forget about it and lull herself back to sleep, her head resting on Damien’s warm chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. But then she remembered the possibility that the notification could be a response from Janice. The thought jolted her fully awake, urging her to check her phone.Reluctantly, Flora

Janice's message was blunt, leaving no room for misunderstanding. Flora blinked down at the bright screen, curiosity, combined with a gnawing sense of urgency, gnawing at her. She had been expecting a response from Janice, but she hadn’t anticipated just how brazenly dismissive it would be. Her fingers tightened around the phone as she read the snarky text that blinked on the screen: "Here’s the deal, Flora: You’ve got one shot. One. Don’t blow it. Prove you’re worth my time, or don’t. I’m not losing sleep over it. But if you do want answers, start by finding the deed to this house. I'll send the address. You’ve got four days. Tick-tock. And if you don’t have it by then? Don’t bother reaching out. I’m done. But if you do find it… then maybe, just maybe, we’ll talk."Flora scoffed as she read the message, already irritated by Janice’s cryptic demands. She could practically hear the smugness dripping from Janice’s words. She let out a sharp, frustrated exhale, her thumb ja

It almost felt like Janice was toying with her, deliberately making the task as difficult as possible. Flora couldn’t shake the feeling that this was all just another way to keep her under Janice’s thumb, to remind her who was really in control. But Flora knew she couldn’t let herself be intimidated. As she set her phone down on the bedside table, Flora’s gaze shifted to Damien. He was still asleep beside her, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm, his face peaceful in sleep. For a moment, Flora considered waking him up and telling him everything. She imagined his reaction, the concern and determination in his eyes as he insisted on helping her. He had always been her rock, the one person she could count on to help her through any crisis. But as she watched him sleep, she hesitated. Damien had enough on his plate without her adding to his burdens. He had been so patient with her, so understanding of all the drama that seemed to follow her wherever she went. She didn’

Flora returned home early the next morning, the sun barely starting to rise. The house was still, its windows dark, indicating that everyone inside was still asleep. Flora, feeling a surge of rebellious energy, decided to use the kitchen's back door instead of the front entrance, hoping to sneak in without waking anyone.She tiptoed across the dewy grass to the kitchen door, fumbling in her purse for the small set of lock-picking tools she kept with her—something she had picked up over the years for occasions just like this. As she crouched by the door, inserting the pick into the lock, she couldn't help but chuckle at herself. "Is this how teenagers feel sneaking back home after a wild night out?" she mused. It was a novel sensation for her. Her own teenage years had been stifled and repressed, marked by an ever-present fear of stepping out of line and facing Alice's stern punishments. A teenage Flora would never have dared dream of sneaking out. The thought of her stern s

Flora giggled—a soft, light sound that Olivia had never heard from her before. “A little,” she admitted, holding her thumb and forefinger close together to emphasize just how little. “I needed some liquid courage to leave Damien’s side when all I wanted to do was forget everything and stay in that hotel bed with him.” She sighed dramatically, a wistful look crossing her face as she reminisced about the night before.Olivia’s eyes widened at Flora’s admission. She had known Flora was seeing Damien, but to hear her talk so openly about spending the night with him—and to see her in such a carefree state—was new. She found herself both intrigued and amused by this side of Flora. It was rare to see her so unguarded, and Olivia couldn’t help but feel a small thrill at the thought that maybe, just maybe, this could be a turning point for their relationship. “So, you spent the night with Damien, huh?” Olivia teased, a playful smirk tugging at her lips. Flora nodded, her smile broad
The CEO's Ex-Wife Gets Revenge Chapter 106: From Sister to Sister (1)
Flora awoke to a sharp, relentless pounding in her head, each throb feeling like a sledgehammer strike behind her eyes. The light streaming through the curtains was too bright, her mouth felt like sandpaper, and the room spun when she dared to open her eyes fully. It took her a moment to realize she was in her own bed, and another moment to notice Olivia sitting at the edge of it, holding a plate with a steaming bowl of soup. "Good morning," Olivia greeted softly, noticing Flora’s bleary-eyed confusion.Flora squinted at her stepsister, her head feeling as though it might split open at any moment. "What are you doing here?" she croaked, her voice hoarse, her throat dry from last night’s alcohol. The smell of the soup wafted up to her nose, rich and savory, making her stomach rumble in spite of her nausea.Olivia’s smile was gentle, understanding. "I made you some hot soup. You’re going to work soon, right? I thought you might wake up with a hangover after our chat

The CEO's Ex-Wife Gets Revenge Chapter 130: The End (3)
Two Weeks Later The evening had settled into a comfortable warmth as Flora parked her car in the driveway of Damien’s estate. The sky was a gentle gradient of fading sunset hues, a perfect close to what had been a long but fulfilling day with Eva. They had been going over the offers from several publishing houses and TV studios, that wanted to monetize Flora's experience with Alice and Janice. It had been exhausting, but there was a sense of peace that came with knowing everything with Alice was truly over. Justice had been served, and Flora was finally free. With a content sigh, she gathered her things, pushing open the front door. The house was unusually quiet, save for the faint rustle of the breeze outside and the distant clinking of glass from the kitchen. A cozy warmth greeted her, the familiar scent of home wrapping her in comfort as she stepped inside. "Hello?" she called out softly, slipping off her shoes and setting

Flora’s breath caught in her throat, but she held her composure, her hands clenched so tightly her knuckles turned white. She cast a glance across the courtroom and met Alice’s eyes. There was no fire in them, no anger or hatred. Only resignation. This was her fate, sealed and unchangeable. Alice would spend the rest of her life in jail. There would be no escape, no return to the life she once knew. She would die there, alone. The judge then turned her attention to Janice, who sat trembling in her seat. “As for Janice Holden,” the judge said, her tone unwavering, “for the charge of conspiracy to commit murder, and for the misuse of her professional authority as a nurse, resulting in the death of Vera Wicks, this court finds the defendant guilty.” Janice sobbed openly as the judge delivered her sentence: twenty-five years to life, with the possibility of parole only after serving the minimum term. But even with parole, Janice would never fully escape her crimes.

The next few days blurred together, filled with a whirlwind of action and emotion as Flora set the final stage for justice. Filing the formal report against Alice was both cathartic and devastating, but it was something Flora knew she had to do. This was the final step in a journey that had begun when her life was torn apart by betrayal, and now, she was finally fighting back. Alice was arrested almost immediately after Flora's report, and to everyone's surprise, she didn’t resist. For the first time in their long and painful history, she didn’t fight back. There were no screaming matches, no attempts to manipulate or twist the situation in her favor, no venomous remarks hurled in Flora’s direction. Instead, Alice turned herself over with an unsettling calm, submitting a written confession detailing her involvement in both the death of Flora’s mother and the accident that had left her father a prisoner in his own mind. Flora knew Alice’s cooperation wasn’t born

A chill ran down her spine, and she stammered out the first question that came to mind. “Olivia…are you—”Before she could finish, Olivia let out a bitter laugh, the sound filled with a weight of sorrow and exhaustion. It wasn’t a happy laugh, but one of disbelief at her own situation.“Yes, I’m pregnant,” Olivia confirmed softly, cutting off Flora’s stumbling attempt to find the right words. She rubbed her palm lightly over her stomach as if to comfort herself more than anything else. “And before you ask, it’s Cyprus’s.”Flora’s breath caught in her throat. Cyprus. Of course it was his. Her mind flew to that one disastrous night that Olivia had had with the arrogant vice president of Defendwise Ventures.“Olivia…” Flora whispered, her voice thick with disbelief. “What are you going to do?”The question hung in the air like a fragile thread, and for a moment, Olivia seemed lost, her gaze fixed on some distant point beyond the supermarket, beyond the immediate rea

Olivia’s face was puffy, her eyes rimmed red and swollen from crying. She looked utterly devastated, her usual composed demeanor shattered. Her bottom lip quivered as she attempted a smile, but it was weak, trembling at the edges. "Flora," Olivia whispered, her voice cracking. Flora stepped forward, unsure whether to close the distance between them or keep some space. She could see the exhaustion written across Olivia’s features, the turmoil swirling behind her eyes. For a moment, neither of them spoke, the weight of what had brought them here pressing down on both of them. Olivia broke the silence first, her voice barely above a whisper. “I—I didn’t know.” She choked on the words, shaking her head as fresh tears welled in her eyes. “I didn’t know what my mother was capable of. I swear to you, Flora, I didn’t know any of it.” Flora stood still, absorbing Olivia’s words. She wanted to believe her. Desperately. But the betrayal of the past day,

The buzzing of Flora’s phone startled her out of her thoughts. It was Olivia. The message read:“Can you meet me in thirty minutes? There's a small 24-hour supermarket called "Pinegrove Market" not far from the estate. I’ll be there. Please, Flora, I really need to talk.”Flora’s pulse quickened as she read the message. Thirty minutes? She glanced at the clock. It was late, and while her body still ached with exhaustion, the urgency in Olivia’s words cut through any hesitation. Something in her gut told her this couldn’t wait. Without overthinking it, she typed a quick reply:“I’ll be there.”She stood up from the couch, assessing her loose pants and short-sleeved top. They would have to do for such an impromptu meeting. She padded quietly upstairs, not wanting to disturb the peaceful quiet of Damien’s home. He was fast asleep, one arm draped over his eyes, his breathing steady and calm. Flora felt a pang of guilt for slipping out, but she had to do this. Bending dow

Just as the words left Eva’s mouth, the kitchen door opened, and Damien stepped inside. He looked at Flora, his gaze soft and warm, and without a word, he crossed the room and kissed her gently on the temple. “Eva’s already started drafting the court papers,” he said, finishing Eva’s sentence. His voice was calm, matter-of-fact, as though they were discussing something far less monumental.Flora blinked, still processing everything. “Has Alice made a move since we left the estate?” she asked, her voice quiet but steady.Damien shook his head. “No,” he replied. “I think she knows this is the end for her.”The weight of his words settled over the room, and for a moment, there was nothing but the soft sound of the stew bubbling on the stove and Whiskerton’s contented purring. Flora exhaled slowly, a mixture of relief and exhaustion washing over her.That night, after dinner had been cleared away and Catarina and Eva had gone off to bed, Flora sat alone on the couch in t

Flora blinked, her eyes stinging with fresh tears. She knew who had orchestrated this—who had called Catarina and Eva, who had made sure that when Flora woke up, she wouldn’t be alone. It had to be Damien. He had seen how close she was to breaking, how much she needed the people around her now. Swallowing the lump in her throat, Flora looked between Catarina and Eva, her lips trembling with a bittersweet smile. “Thank you,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “Thank you for coming.” Catarina patted her cheek affectionately. “You’re stuck with us now,” she said with a soft almost motherly smile, before turning back to the stove to finish serving the stew. “Now, sit down and eat before you collapse. I made your favorite.” Flora’s stomach growled again in response, and she let out a soft laugh. Their presence, combined with the savory aroma of the stew, filled the room with a sense of comfort that Flora hadn’t realised she'd been craving .
