The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 28: Fake Pregnancy
ShantelleDuring dinner, Auntie Trina told Gavin what to do when he was taking care of me. Since she treated me like a daughter, I could see why she was worried. So, my guilt was killing me already. It seems like she was more upset when she heard I was "pregnant," so she acted that way. Gavin, on the other hand, paid close attention to what she said.Auntie asked us to stay the night because it was almost midnight, and I was surprised when Gavin said yes right away. I thought he'd say no. He also seemed to get along well with my brothers and sisters. Still, it made me happy.We didn't think we would stay here, so Gavin didn't bring any extra clothes. So I just took my brother's clothes and gave them to him to wear.As soon as I walked into my room, I felt like I was going to die. Gavin had already gone to the bathroom, so we couldn't talk about what he had planned for the future. I had to wait until he came back. Auntie was completely sure that I was pregnant, and Gavin loved me ve
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 29: A Warning?
ShantelleI was already in Hawaii and working on my computer. Gavin had already sent me to the airport. He didn't leave Standford because he still had things to do there.I let out a helpless sigh and stared blankly at the screen of my computer. I couldn't think straight. I turned the page and wondered if my recipes were missing something. But I could only think of Gavin's figure."Oh goodness!" I messed up my hair because I was angry. I still couldn't believe that we had already gotten married.But I'm really interested in how Gavin got the papers done so quickly. We had our simple wedding.We are now husband and wife... I suddenly felt bad about my hasty choice.I felt bad about myself, so I got up and left. I couldn't breathe in my room. I need to stop for a moment. I went outside and found a chair to sit on.I took a deep breath and slowly started to feel better. Then I started to think about what had happened before. We went from being strangers to being married in a short time.
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 30: Pissed Off
ShantelleWhen I turned around, I groaned when I felt the mattress sink, like someone was hugging me. I could smell the masculine scent that I was used to. Because his smell was so familiar, I knew right away that I wasn't dreaming.When I opened my eyes, Gavin's handsome face was the first thing I saw. I still didn't know where I was, but when I realized he was watching me, my face got hot."Did I wake you up?" he asked. "You can sleep again. Put your energy aside for tonight," He had a grin.Because of what he said, my cheeks got hotter and I blushed more, but before I could say anything, he put his head down and buried his face in my chest."I want to rest, too," he said in a whisper.After he said that, his body stopped moving and he fell asleep. I knew he was asleep because his breathing became steady. It looks like he's spent. I couldn't help but smile when I could feel his heart beating.As we lay next to each other, I could just barely hear his heartbeat, which helped me fa
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 31: A Good Moment
ShantelleThe next morning, I woke up early. Still lying on the bed, I turned my gaze sideways and stared at the person's face lying next to me. Gavin is sleeping peacefully. When he's asleep, he looks like an angel, a harmless and gentle person. But when he's awake... He's like a bully, and I am always his target. He always bullies or teases me in every possible way, anytime, anywhere.One of his muscular arms was encircled around my waist while I was resting on the other, using it as my pillow. When my eyes landed on his reddish parted lips, I gulped hard. I was fixated on his lips as though there was some kind of energy that was drawing me in - a small voice inside my head seemed to be saying I needed to kiss him. His adam's apple moved, and his lips parted even more. I was tempted but still stopped myself. I seldom dared to take the initiative because I was weak-spirited. In my eyes, his lips were akin to a red apple that I wanted to take a bite on. Feeling helpless, I decide
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 32: She's Lost
Shantelle'Then... will you be able to love me?'I wanted to ask him that, but I didn't have the courage. I know it's too much to ask, mainly because of what I've done. And it's not easy to ask for someone's forgiveness when one has done something wrong that could not be forgiven easily.Riddled with guilt, I sighed helplessly. I should wait for him to forgive me, and I know that there's always a time to heal and a time to forgive.After all, forgiveness is not a thing that one could get overnight. It's a long way process.Then I must prove to him that I'm worth forgiving for - that I deserve his second chance... All I need is determination and perseverance. A long silence prevailed. Gavin didn't speak for a few minutes, apparently in deep thought. "I can't tell... for now, I don't know," he said heavily. "However, I'm confident that in the end, it will be me who will ask for your forgiveness," he said meaningfully.My brows couldn't help but furrowed, and my face scrunched up in
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 33: Run To Me
Shantelle"Shantelle." I looked at the person who called me and saw Baron. "Why?" My eyes settled on the small plate in his hand. He approached me and handed me the plate that had a slice of dessert. "Can you check this one for me? What do you think is missing?" Baron asked. I reached for the plate and took a bite. I tilted my head and thought for a moment before I concluded. The palatableness is quite alright, but I'm concerned about the sweetness. Albeit it doesn't taste bad, I think that something is missing. "How should I put this into words? I think maybe we should make a slight alteration in the ingredients. Just reduce the amount of sugar and instead add some cream. As for the design, it's adorable, though." As I spoke, I looked intently at the desert. "Let me write down the formulation that needs to be altered," I muttered. I pulled out the pencil inserted in my hair just above my ear and immediately sat down in front of the table. I pulled out a new piece of paper,
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 34: In His Arms Again
ShantelleGlancing at the clock, I saw I was already ten minutes late. I hurriedly left my room and almost dashed outside since Gavin's location was a bit far away from my room. When I went out, the sun had already set, and everything was dark, and only a few lights from the hotel and bar gave light to the night. The stars were glistening in the sky, and they shone brightly upon us. I also saw many tourists who walked and roamed everywhere.I almost reached our meeting place, but before I could go there, my phone rang, and when I glanced over it, the caller ID was Gavin. Even though I could already see him, I still accepted his call. He didn't seem to notice that I was not far away from him. He seemed bored waiting for me. His brows were tightly furrowed into a frown - obviously displeased. I stopped in my tracks and spoke as I watched him. "Hello?" "Where are you?" he asked in a tone full of irritation. "I'm still in the hotel," I teased. His expression amused me. The corners
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 35: Meeting Her Again
Today is my last day in Hawaii. Finally going back to Stanford... With a smile, I started packing all my things and the souvenirs that I bought to give to my family and friends as well as my company's staff. All the things that I've been taking care of were finally handled. The recipes of the new dishes I formulated had been finalized and approved. Aside from it, I also trained the hotel and restaurant staff, so everything was already settled. The project was already carried out. Later, Gavin would pick me up at the airport, and we had already discussed that I would go straight to his condo. Just thinking about it, I became a nervous wreck. I will stay there from today onwards. And he said that if I want to visit my family, I'm free to do so. He didn't restrict me too much. We're finally going to live together... I couldn't help but think about what would happen once we lived together. When that thought flashed inside my head, I scolded myself. The heat started to creep onto my

ShantelleI really missed his touch and kisses. Everything about him made me crazy. His fingers inside me made my eyes widen. I felt the pressure slowly building in my abdomen. I knew this feeling... I bit my lip hard, but I couldn't help but call him out. 'I think I'm going to come already.'"Shit! Oh, Gavin! Fuck! Could you not make me scream? Vance might... wake up..." I muttered and gnashed my teeth when I felt something come out of my nether region. I panted heavily, and Gavin just chuckled at me. When he slightly raised his head, the teasing smile on his lips faded, and his expression became sour. "Why?" I looked at him, and he pursed his lips in annoyance. "Tsk. I don't have my condom right now," he said."I thought the earth had fallen. Don't worry, I'm safe today," I laughed mirthfully at his expression. "Are you sure? But having a protruding stomach on our wedding day is not ideal," he frowned. Yes, we weren't married yet, but our wedding was scheduled for four month
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 65: Still, Things Are Not Yet Over
ShantelleFor several nights, we were constantly awakened by Vance's cries. He often woke up at night, so we had no choice but to watch over him. He was like a night owl and also woke up early. He was always asleep at noon, so when it darkened, he was still wide awake. Raising a child was challenging but also fulfilling at the same time. "He's still a baby, so obviously, I need to focus on him. You're a grown-up man, so why do you need to compete with a child?" I said while laughing.Gavin snorted, which made me giggle with delight. "Okay, I'll help you feed him," I stopped teasing him, and he smiled. "Sure. Then feed me later too, hmm," Gavin joked.My heart trembled. His suggestive expression seemed like he was referring to something... dirty... Oh, God! Why am I thinking this way? But... It's almost two months since something happened to us, and since then, Gavin has been abstinent. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Vance's cry. I looked at him and cooed. "Baby Vance~
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 64: No, Not My Child
ShantelleA blinding light stung my eyes as my eyelids fluttered open. However, nothing registered to my mind yet. All I could feel were various movements rushing all around me. "We need to remove the fetus inside her body," said a voice. I blinked and tried to make out what they were saying because I couldn't hear it clearly, as though they were bees buzzing around. My stomach hurt as if someone was slicing it. Tears brimmed through my eyes, which made everything blurry around me. 'Are they doing surgeries on me? Did I lose my baby?'A lump formed in my throat as I tried to understand what the hell was happening around me. I couldn't think straight even though I tried. My heart feels heavy, as if a huge boulder weighed on it. I sniffled. I wanted to ease the heaviness that I was feeling, but I couldn't move. Gavin's figure flashed inside my mind, and it made me weep more. I knew that he would be enraged once he found out that I had a miscarriage. ‘Should I blame him? Or me? Or
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 63: She's Bleeding…
Shantelle"Oh, God! Shantelle!" In the midst of my trance, I heard a familiar voice calling me. It belongs to Dani and Cara. They hastily rushed to my side when I glanced at them, and I could see the horror in their expressions. I was relieved to finally see them. When they arrived, they immediately but carefully helped me to stand on my feet. I whimpered in pain with every movement, making me tear up when an intense pain shot through my abdomen. All I could feel was pain. "The guard told us you were fighting with someone, so we went down in a hurry. What happened?" Dani asked, then turned her gaze to Peighton and pointed her finger, "Is she the one?""Damn! Shantelle! You're bleeding! What to do?" Cara cried in alarm as she tried to dust off the dirt on my skirt. When I looked down, to my horror, I saw blood flowing on my legs. As soon as I saw this, I almost passed out on the spot. I could only stare at it blankly. When I lifted my head and looked at my friends' expressions -
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 62: A Psychotic Woman
ShantelleI swallowed the lump forming in my throat when Peighton finally stood before me. My hand was clenched in a deathly grip as I couldn't help but draw a big breath."It's nice to see you again, Shantelle," Peighton said sardonically and sneered. "Well, I don't feel the same way. Save your breath for the pleasantries, and just tell me why you're here," I spoke candidly. I needed to pretend that I was calm and collected. However, no matter how nervous I was, if she intended to fight, then I won't back down. I have no intention of running away and losing.The smile plastered on her lips faded as her expression contorted for a fleeting moment before her condescending grin returned. "Why treat me so coldly? Aren't you even grateful for what I did for you? Huh?!" she said sarcastically. Seeing that I wasn't reacting to her words, her smile vanished as she darted me a look full of hatred. "Remember? I gave you money that saved your puny life! I felt pity for you. That is why I pa
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 61: Her Reasons
Shantelle Tears welled up in my eyes again because of his heartfelt words. I didn't know if I deserved all this. I knew that I was neither good nor bad. Nevertheless, I felt that I was given too much. "How about your parents? They're probably angry?" I asked him worriedly. He laughed."They are. After hearing what you'd done, they were furious, and no matter how much I explained, they wouldn't listen. I told them that the past doesn't matter to me anymore because I love you, but they didn't listen.”“I told them to accept our relationship, but as though they were deaf, they wouldn't lend me an ear. But you don't have to worry about that. Maybe after you gave birth and they saw our little angel, they would change their minds.”“They are not getting any younger, and they will surely like our child, especially if he is as handsome as me, don’t you think so?" he said with a laugh.It seems he was not that affected by this matter. "Psh. You're really crazy. Still, I want to apologize to
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 60: He Knew, All Along
Shantelle"Thanks, Auntie," I whispered almost inaudibly and teared up again. My tears were akin to a waterfall that had an endless stream. Even now, I am still crying. We stayed in that position for a few more minutes, and Auntie just continued to caress my back. Because of Auntie's words, my mind cleared up, and I gained a little courage. Tomorrow, maybe I'll go back to Gavin's unit and talk it out with him. But for now, I want to sleep. My body felt heavy, and my feet were also hurting. I'll just deal with everything tomorrow.As we snuggled in each other's embrace, we suddenly heard the doorbell ring. I frowned with nervousness. Even though I didn't want to hope, I felt like it was Gavin who was outside. "I'll see who's outside," Auntie Trina said, and I nodded slightly and withdrew from her embrace. She stood up and left. I grew fidgety as I sat on my bed. My heart started to race with anxiety. I reckoned that it was indeed Gavin who was outside. And if he does come, then
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 59: Runaway Again
ShantelleI didn't want to stay in Gavin's unit for the time being. So I told Baron to drop me off at my house."Thank you," Baron nodded, and his lips parted, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't. Even though he didn't ask, I knew that he was worried. He just sighed and then drove away, and I stood silently in front of the door. I want to unwind... To relieve some discomfort, I was feeling. I wouldn't hide from Gavin, and I didn't have the intention of running away. But for now, I need some space. If Gavin still wants to be with me, despite the truth, then I'll come back. However, if he can't accept me... I can't help it. I can't force him to be with me. After all, I ruined his marriage for the sake of money, and he had the right to be mad at me. And... and I had no face to demand him to accept me. Even though he knew that I was the wedding intruder, he didn't ask the reason why I did that. And until now, I haven't been able to explain myself to him. He
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 58: What To Do?
ShantelleI watched Gavin talk to a businessman with a smile on his face. Because of this client, we still couldn't go see his parents. He still had his hand on my waist. Since then, he hasn't let go."I didn't know you were married already," his client told him. He gave me a quick look and a smile. "Well, I can't blame you. She's pretty," he added.My face got red, and I gave the man in front of us a small smile. I'm sure he is already in his thirties. I think he's also married."Right. But Shantelle's not just beautiful. She's just right for me," Gavin said this with a smile. "Anyway, I hope to see you again. Next time, let's talk about business. Let's enjoy the night for now," he said to him in a nice way. The businessman smiled and nodded, and we started to leave.Gavin pulled me away slowly as he talked. He asked with worry, "Are you tired?"We had been at the party for almost an hour and just finished talking to Gavin's clients, friends, and cousins.I replied by shaking my hea
