68: Visiting the House

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-24 23:41:07

GRAY’S POV

My mother, just like usual, could not help but rant to me again because of Serena Ambers and my sister’s attitude. To be honest, I would be more confused if she would not do that. That was what she did all the time—to rant and complain about almost the same thing. Aerah got her attitude from her.

Good thing my mother was also a worrier because when she heard a loud honk from the other cars, she almost went under cardiac arrest and immediately scolded me for being too careless and comfortable on the road. She was not a fan of using phones while driving—or perhaps doing something while inside the car.

She ended the call right away, thanks to the cars that honked so loudly.

Our house was hours away from the company, and I had been driving for a long time now. I had no plans on staying at work for the whole day, anyway. I had my meetings canceled so I could take my time staying at home.

The house that I bought for Jane was inside the village that my mother’s family owned, so

    AERAH’S POVIt was so unusual that my brother did not go to work today. I had been trying to look for a chance to talk to him and apologize for what I did, and now that I finally got the courage to do so, his secretary would tell me that he would not work today. He even canceled all his meetings that were supposed to happen later.What the hell is wrong with him? Is he avoiding me? Did he really take my slap personally? I only did that because I was pissed off! I felt like he was disrespecting me!“Do you know when will he come back? Can you ask him why isn’t he going to work today? I need to tell him something urgent.”I had to apologize right now or I would not get a good sleep tonight again. I could not afford to be sleepless and had puffy eye bags just because of guilt. Damn it!“Mr. Moore said that he has something important to do today, too, Ms. Moore. He advised me to not call him for things that relate to work—”“But I wouldn’t talk to him just for work! Duh?

I finally got to change and look pretty again, but there was something that was still bothering me now. “Goodness, Mom,” I groaned as I clicked the red button to turn off the call for the nth time now. She had been calling me since I received that nonsense text. Gosh, isn’t she used to me yet? I thought she would not be shocked anymore if she heard another gossip about me from her friends again. She seemed to forget that men would not stop salivating over her only daughter.Am I at fault for that?I knew I fooled around again days ago, but I made sure that there would not be any clips or pictures that those bastards would take of us while doing the deed. Well, that happened successfully, but it seemed like I would not be able to control their nosy mouths and they would start telling people about how good I was in bed.Stupid bastards.“Finally done,” I sang like I was singing in a theater. I did not

    AERAH’S POVInstead of going back to work, I just decided to drive and go home. It was not the end of my shift yet, so I was already expecting another scolding from my mom.I should not have gone here after receiving that message from her, but I thought it would be better to have myself calm down in my room instead of fooling around with men to release my stress. I had a date with Landon tomorrow, and I could not show up looking like I did not have a good rest today just because my best friend decided to ruin my day. I took the chance to go straight to my room when I did not see my mother in the common room where she always spent most of her time. I could not afford to hear another sermon from anyone. Not now that I was having a bad day. I might talk back and say things that I would regret after.Tch. I thought the only good thing that happened today was when Landon spilled his coffee on me which made him ask me out. My dress was ruined, but I gained a chance to be with him.I left

    SERENA’S POV “You seem like you are in a bad mood. What happened, huh?” I sat beside Kelly, who had her forehead knotted while scrolling the screen of her phone. Kaihly told me about what happened last night, and I immediately knew she was being like this because of Landon. I could not understand her most of the time. She had rejected Landon when the man confessed to her the first time, and now that Landon was pretending to like Aerah Celine and would go on a date today, she started sulking and never went into her normal mood. She should be celebrating because the plan was working and making progress. Aerah wasn’t smart, so I knew she would give in to Landon the moment that man got her trust. “Nothing happened, Jane. You and Kaihly had been bothering me for a while now. What the hell is your problem?” she asked irritatingly, rolling her eyes at me. I giggled, already imagining what would be her reaction once I told Landon to not show up to his date with Aerah. Landon and I might

    AERAH’S POVI just wanted to flee as I listened to my mom shout at the top of her lungs while on the call with me. I should have answered her in the bathroom. I was too confident that she would not say anything annoying. I was lucky that I did not put it on a loudspeaker like I usually did. “Excuse me for a while, Landon. I just have to talk to my mom…” I excused myself, forcing myself to smile. Landon only smiled at me, taking another sip from the frappe he ordered. I left the table in haste, walking as far away as I could from our table. I entered the women’s bathroom, locking it to ensure that no one would enter while I argued with my mother. “What now, Mom? I told you not to call me, right? Goodness! I am so humiliated!” “Humiliated? Oh, I am surprised that you still can feel that way! I thought you forgot about it since you never listened to me and your brother! I am with my friends right now and I couldn’t even look at them when they showed me another article that had your fa

    SERENA’S POV Damn, yay. Is she drunk? This was not the secretary that I had known for years. Or maybe this was the real her outside her job… I just failed to notice it because I never went out with her unless it was work-related. Chill, Jane. Everybody was enjoying so I did not have the place to sulk. I would be a killjoy if I decided to tell Miranda how foolish I felt right now. I should goddamn stop being childish. Why am I a grown-up woman if I still act that way?“You’re so quiet. Are you thinking of something? What are you feeling?” Landon asked a few moments later. He only whispered in my ear, so we did not get much attention from the team. That was how I liked it. “I was fine before I saw everybody’s outfit. How come y’all are dressed like that after working? I thought we would all be in our working attires so I did not bother changing. I should have worn something nice before going here if I only knew,” I answered the truth, rolling my eyes in exaggeration. Landon chuckled

    GRAY’S POVFrom being the calm and composed woman that she was, Serena halted talking to me, only regarding her secretary with a sense of panic.It was only a mention of her mother arriving, but she started disregarding me like we just didn’t have a conversation seconds ago. As if she just didn’t claim that I was into her.Their voices could not be heard, so I had no understanding of what were they talking about. They did not want me to hear anything, I guessed. Serena turned to me after a few moments of their talking. “I have to go. Enjoy the night and the celebration. Tell the team that their lunch would be my treat tomorrow.”She tapped my shoulder she used to caress with her delicate fingers and turned her back on me, Miranda following her as she almost ran toward the exit.Even Landon Mitchell ran after them. Who is this woman that Ms. Rowans was talking about? I still had Serena’s documents. Her mom’s name wasn’t stated there, but it said that Serena came from an influential f

    SERENA’S POV“Oh, Kaihly. I know you would have a great time with Caden. The man is a gentleman and you share the same interest with him. He also came from a family of wealth. He is a perfect fit for you, dear.”Kelly and I looked at each other as we listened to our mom tell Kaihly the things she didn’t have any interest in. “Damn. I don’t think my twin is liking what she said. Mommy should stop telling her about dating or she wouldn’t want to work with Caden,” Kelly whispered at me, both of us watching Kaihly, who had a poker face on as she typed something on her laptop.“That man didn’t come here for love, Mom. And I am definitely not interested in dating someone right now. I don’t even know if I like men, what more on dating them,” Kaihly rebutted, making Kelly and I burst out laughing.We had been watching them argue about Caden Garcia, the man my mother introduced to us. He arrived at exactly 4 in the morning and was currently resting in the guest room right now. It was already

    SERENA’S POVI spent my days learning how to manage my time well and almost completely forgetting that my ex-husband learned that I was his ex-wife. I always woke up with a feeling my identity was revealed in public, but days had passed and I still lived the same life as Serena Ambers. Paperworks, office, meetings, and the investigation. I hadn’t even heard the name of Gray’s family for a while now. They were not bothering me at all.Even Gray. Surprisingly, he was not the person that I expected him to be after learning my identity. I thought he would tail me from time to time, asking questions that I would never give him the answer. He was always far away or he had a distance from me whenever we would see each other, but no matter what distance, he would always be there. I couldn’t even remember a single time that I was going out of my office and I didn’t see him. That was just too impossible now. He would be wherever I went to.I couldn’t tell him to fuck off and mind his own busin

    GRAY’S POVI had completely forgotten that there was an ongoing project proposed by my wife because of what was happening. I stared at how Jane’s emotions changed quickly when one of the employees stated the information about Hazel Brown. She didn’t seem to care at first, but now that she heard it, one of her brows rose.“Why are you saying that to me? You must tell that to Mr. Moore because he is the one who’s gonna be with the girl. I am out of their business…” she answered, shaking her head lightly.I did not react, but her indifference was like a knife in my chest. Now that I knew the truth, the difference she had from before was really obvious. She rarely smiled and always rolled her eyes at people. The old Jane would never do that. She would cry for being so guilty if she ever became mean.It didn’t matter. I liked both versions of her. “Mr. Moore, Ms. Ambers is gone. Do you still need something?” I didn’t know how long I stared at where Jane stood even after she left, as I o

    SERENA’S POVIt wasn’t new that I would go to work with a bunch of bodyguards tailing me as if someone would attack me anytime, but the employees of the Moore Estates never got tired of gossiping about it whenever they would see me pass by.I was expecting news and articles coming out today that revealed who I truly was, but I woke up with nothing but a notification about one of my acquaintances back home celebrating her birthday today. The morning was quiet, and only the murmurs of the employees were the things that I could hear. It was almost inaudible, too, making me feel pure confusion. What the hell is happening? I thought Gray would reveal the things about me today. That was what we were expecting. Aerah and Geraldine Moore didn’t welcome me with their bullying, too. It seemed like a peaceful day for someone like me who got her life played by destiny yesterday.“Nice to see you again, beautiful woman…”I only halted spacing out when I came across one of the men who had been run

    SERENA’S POVI ended up going outside and letting Kelly stay inside the house, asking her to notify security that Gray did something magical again that he was able to get in front of our house without notifying us.I took a deep breath as I followed one of our maids, unsure of what to tell him once he opened the topic of me, being his wife whom he thought died years ago.I had my face emotionless when I saw him get alarmed by my presence, immediately walking toward me as soon as he saw me get outside.“What are you doing here? Who allowed you to be here?” I asked, not giving him time to talk first. As much as I could, I did not want to talk about what happened earlier. I wasn’t even sure if I was ready to open that topic. I wasn’t sure if I could already say the right words now.“Jane…”I tried hard not to fucking react even though I could already feel that this night would be hell for me again. My temples were already tingling, and I was already anticipating a fresh set of fucking me

    SERENA’S POV“What the hell? You did not even deny anything, Landon? Huh? What the hell is going on with you? You really slapped Gray with the truth that Serena is Jane? Are you fucking kidding me?” Kelly couldn’t bring herself to calm down right after Landon told him everything that happened in the Moore Estates. We were complete in the lounge area. Caden and Kaihly were sitting next to each other, both of them stopping what they were doing. My mother was just sitting two seats away from them, silent as she drank from her wine glass. I was silent, too, while Landon was trying to calm my sister down. He wasn’t doing well. One more stupid thing that he would say and Kelly would throw things at him. We were both at fault for being so careless, but Landon, not making a story to cover the truth just ended all of us. “Enough, Kelly. There’s no use in being mad right now. We are now caught and the secret has been revealed. There is no going back now—” “It is so easy to say that but what

    GRAY’S POV Hearing Serena’s conversation with Landon made me fucking freeze on the ground. What the hell is this bastard talking about? What does he mean by my sister abusing Serena when Serena was still living with us? “What the hell is going on? Is it fucking true, Serena? Jane?” I asked, trying to fucking confirm what was running in my mind. Do I even need a confirmation? It came from their mouths. I was not dumb to not think that they were talking about Jane, my ex-wife. I walked toward them without breaking eye contact with my wife. The terror in her eyes just confirmed that everything that bastard said was true. “G-Gray?” Jane called me, her voice shaking. I stared at her intently. Is she really my wife? I fucking had no idea where to start. She had been staying with us for the past months now, pretending to be a different person. Pretending to be someone far from Jane. I had my answer about who she really was, but everything wasn’t clicking yet. The pieces that I was tr

    SERENA’S POVI immediately pulled away from Gray’s kiss when the door barged open, revealing the one and only Aerah Celine Moore, who I thought was getting stopped by my secretary to go in.Miranda failed, though. She could only hold her arm to prevent her from attacking me.“Let go of me, you bitch! I need to talk to your shitty boss right now and show her who am I!”What I did here with Gray hadn’t even gone inside my head completely, yet I was about to face another chaos from a Moore again. I secretly fixed my messed up clothes to not raise another issue.I turned my body to see Aerah completely, my chin up as I faked my confidence. I was a fucking slut after letting that bastard kiss me. How can I fucking do that?“What is your problem with me this time, Aerah? Long time no see. I wonder what made you go here this early?” I started, crossing my arms against my chest. I signaled Miranda to let the woman do what she wanted, and I got a sigh as her response as she let Gray’s sister l

    SERENA’S POVMy head was aching so badly. I woke up in my bedroom, all the lights were dimmed except for the lamp beside my bed.Everything seemed to be adding up right now. Charles was telling me that Gray was cheating on me in my memory, but I did not believe him. Is that the reason why Gray was telling me to stay away from him? He was the one who ruined Gray and I’s marriage, according to my ex-husband.I caressed my head and rested my back on the headboard. I felt like I was close to knowing the truth. Lucia told everything she knew to Kaihly and Caden, except the part where she couldn’t tell me about my memories because I couldn’t handle anything. My doctor told us that we should let it go back naturally or I would shit myself again.I agreed. The pain when my memory would be back without force was almost absent whenever it happened.For sure, Miranda told them about Charles already. I wouldn’t be surprised if I went outside and they already had the information about the man.The

    SERENA’S POV— Jane’s Memory —“Oh gosh, Charles. Why are you even telling me this? Gray is always busy and he would never have the time to screw other girls. He couldn’t even go home to our house because of his hectic schedule…”I found it ridiculous to think that Gray would have all the time in his world to have another woman aside from me. Since his father died, he barely went home because of the workload that his father left him in the company. I understood him, and I sometimes pitied him because all I saw was a man who was tired of dealing with so much stuff.I couldn’t do that. I would die first if my father died and left all the stress that he was enduring to me. He didn’t train me for that, unlike Gray who had been doing things in their company since he got married to me.“Oh goodness, Jane. Why are you even asking for my help if you won’t believe me? You said to spy on your husband, right? I am just telling you what I know,” Charles defended, drinking the alcohol he ordered.
