The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 39: Passed Out
ShantelleGavin and I went to the supermarket because I decided to buy some mangoes and tomatoes. I also bought other ingredients I would need for the food that I wanted to eat. I think it wouldn't be complete without a sauce, so I purchased anchovies. "Are you planning to cook? You're just wasting time for this," Gavin said as he pushed the cart while I put the ingredients inside it. I was taken aback by what he said, so I looked at him. "Who said I would be the one who's going to cook? For your information, you'll be the one who's cooking." I corrected what he said. His forehead furrowed because of that."As far as I can remember, you never said anything like that," Gavin answered while his eyebrows almost met. I think he was annoyed because his expression and the tone of his voice were about to rise.I was upset about what he said, so I pretended I didn't hear him. I just continued putting the ingredients in the cart while he was still pushing it. "Hey! Did you hear what I've sa
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 40: Am I Tricked?
ShantelleAs I opened my eyes, I saw Gavin sitting beside my bed. He was looking down at me worriedly while caressing my hair. I noticed that we were in an unfamiliar room. I think we're inside a hospital room."What happened?" I asked Gavin. I was about to get up, but I felt dizzy again. Gavin sighed, then he assisted me with leaning against the bed's headboard."You lost consciousness earlier. The doctor also said that you're anemic," he answered with a serious face. I was taken aback by what I've heard. "Huh? Me? I am anemic? Seriously? Why do I not know about that?" I asked him while I was frowning.‘Since when have I been anemic? Am I? Or maybe it's the cancer cells? There's no way!’The doctor already said that I was free from it, and it's been four years already since it was gone and cured. Damn. I am scared. I don't know how to react.Gavin just laughed happily at my confused expression. "Looks like you believed it.”“When the doctor also told me you were anemic, I didn't
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 41: Too Exhausted
ShantelleIt was already six in the evening, and I was leaving the office. I still didn't answer all of Gavin's calls. I had to complete everything because the deadline for some projects are almost near. No one could distract my attention. I didn't want to mix my personal life with my work. I also don't want the quality of my business to go down just because of the emotions I'm feeling right now. While walking in the parking lot, someone forcefully grabbed my arm. I was startled. I looked behind to see who had stopped me. It was Gavin. He looked directly into my eyes and seemed dangerous, as if he was angry at me. We exchanged looks, and I glared at him. He was surprised at how I looked at him.He suddenly let go of my hand and put his hands inside his pockets."Why aren't you answering my calls? I was worried about you," he said, and I felt he was concerned because of his voice. ‘Wait. Was Gavin apprehensive? Who did he deceive?’ I haven't yet confirmed what Nurse Peighton sa
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 42: Will It Be Our Ending?
ShantelleI don't know how many minutes it has been since I slept. I just felt Gavin's gentle tap on my shoulder."Babe, wake up. You need to eat," he whispered.When I opened my eyes, his face immediately opened up to me. He bent down and looked at me. He smiled gently, but I frowned. I would have slept well if he didn't wake me up.Gavin walked away and picked up the tray on the table. He sat on the bed, so I sat as well. I leaned my head on the headboard. I watched him as he blew the food into the spoon. If I only knew the truth, I might have fallen for him even more because of what he was doing. "I already told you I have no appetite," I said annoyingly. "Fine. You don't have an appetite, but does the baby in your stomach have no appetite either?" he irritatingly asked me. Gradually, his patience was running out.I frowned. "It's just blood. The baby won't be hungry," I answered philosophically.I noticed that Gavin's tears seemed to roll down his cheeks. He couldn't stop laugh
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 43: Confrontation
ShantelleToday I didn't have the heart to work, so I just told Dani that I wouldn't go to the office because I had something to take care of. Ever since Nurse Peighton told me that my marriage with Gavin was fake, I have been perturbed and uneasy. 'What if what she said was true?'Albeit I tried to believe that Gavin wouldn't do it, there's a part of me that wanted to know the truth. I want to know if his words were true. So I went to the municipal office to check our marriage records. And the result was... there was nothing. There was no record that Gavin submitted our marriage certificate. No marriage license was issued under my name and Gavin from the local civil registrar. Even though I don't want to face the truth, I need to. It was all in front of me. I sucked in a deep breath and blinked my eyes repeatedly to stop my tears from spilling. My heart was heavy with betrayal. ‘Why didn't I even suspect him?’ I should have known both parties must be present when filing the r
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 44: It’s Over Now
ShantelleI angrily pointed my finger at his face and exploded in a fury. I was shaking in anger and couldn't control my emotions. As soon as all the words that I spoke reached his ears, his face turned ashen. He was stunned, and I saw the profound glint that flashed in his eyes. I didn't know if he was just faking it since he was well versed in acting, but he didn't seem to understand what I was saying. "W-what do you mean?" he asked in surprise. "Aren't you clear about this? Damn it! You won! You managed to deceive me into believing that our marriage is real! But it's a fake, right? It's fake! I was a fool! Damn you!" I screamed at him. I really wanted to hit and strike him, but all I could do was point my fingers at him and cry. I wanted to hurt him physically to express how much I was in pain at this moment. Tears continuously trickled down my cheeks as I watched his expression. His face went pale and grim. Gavin's lips parted and pressed together as if he wanted to say so
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 45: Food For The Heart
ShantelleAs soon as I set foot in the company and headed straight to my office, I saw Cara and Dani facing back and forth outside my office as though they were thinking deeply about something. They were awoken from their reverie when they saw me and immediately dashed in front of me. From their expressions, I could see the flickering worry reflected in their eyes. However, I was not in the mood to care about them at this moment, so I went straight to my table and sat on the swivel chair, and immediately opened my laptop as soon as I was seated, and they followed suit. I was not planning on talking to them and would have ignored them, but then Dani spoke up. "Girl! Do you know how worried we were when we came to know that you hadn't come home for a few days? What happened to you and Gavin? Did you two fight, so you ran away from home?”“Do you know that he even came to my house just to look for you? He thought that I was hiding you because none of his calls got through when he was
The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 46: He's Getting Out Of Hand
Shantelle "Girl! This is the best opportunity to make Gavin jealous! Use Baron to make him feel threatened!" Dani suggested and laughed. Cara nodded to express that she was in favor of Dani's suggestion. My mouth fell open as I looked at them in disbelief. "What? Are you two crazy? How can you suggest using him when he's just concerned about me?" I chided while shaking my head in distress. Dani and Cara shrugged. "Well, don't be naive, Shantelle. Since you're already living in his unit, do you think he won't be affected by your problem with Gavin? Even if you didn't use him to make Gavin jealous, he would still be involved because Gavin would definitely think there might be something going on between you and Baron! He would definitely get enraged once he found out," Dani said. As soon as her words registered in my mind, nervousness started to creep into my system, but I tried to ignore it. I took a deep breath and replied, "I doubt it. He doesn't love me and definitely wouldn't

The Ex Groom and His Dominating Revenge CHAPTER 66: Still, A Lot More to Come…
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
