The Ex-Wife's Revenge 74: Into You
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

GRAY’S POVI left my penthouse later than I usually did. The celebration last night ended past midnight. I stayed not because I enjoyed the company of my employees, but because Kole and Marco went to the same bar that Mr. Mitchell and Ms. Rowans chose. They arrived fifteen minutes after Serena left. They got invited to our table and unsurprisingly got along with Serena’s team. I only stayed there for the drink, to be honest. I wasn’t even speaking to anyone—including Lina, the plus one that I told Serena last night. She was one of Aerah’s friends who had been following me around for years now. She was a good woman, and when I said good, she was far from doing the things that my sister usually did. She was with me last night because I foolishly followed Kole’s advice—which was to look to other women instead of liking Serena. I had no plans on pursuing Kelsey Robins like what he suggested. I ended up noticing Lina, which was a foolish decision, too, as the woman only got her heart
Last Updated : 2024-12-01The Ex-Wife's Revenge 78: Smart and Careful
SERENA’S POV I did not expect Caden to be here, but I was definitely not mad. He wasn’t disturbing me, anyway. And this was a great opportunity to show him what was it like inside the Moore Estates. He would have an idea of what kind of environment he was about to face once he successfully bought one of the major shares. “How did you know where my office was? Did Kaihly tell you?” I asked Caden as I signaled him to sit on the visitor’s chair as an offer. We decided to go back to my office instead of staying in the hallway for so many reasons. Caden had the visuals to attract anyone who would see him, so he could be a distraction if we passed by some of the employees’ workplaces. And of course, I would not have them stay in public where people could hear what we were gonna talk about. I was sure Caden didn’t come here just to see me. He was here to discuss something about what we had talked about earlier. “I happened to be in the same elevator as Gray Moore, so I took the chance to
Last Updated : 2024-12-02The Ex-Wife's Revenge 79: Landon, Caden, and I
SERENA’S POV A jealous Gray Would surely entertain me. I had not seen him jealous in the years that I had known him. Not even once. Making him jealous meant proving that I was becoming an effective flirt and I would get to enjoy how messed up he could be at the same time.That was like hitting two birds in one stone. I discovered that I tend to have fun whenever I see him perplexed and affected by what I always did.“I am up for everything you wish to happen, Ms. Serena Ambers. As long as you have a valid reason and we’re doing it the right way.”I cracked a laugh.“The only valid reason that I can tell you is my husband and his family ruined my life. What we’re doing right now doesn’t even equal to what they did to me before. I at least want to be even—or punish them more.”The corner of Caden’s lip turned up. My mother mentioned that she had paid Caden a great fortune to participate with us, but to be honest, I didn’t think Caden agreed to team up with my family just because of the

SERENA’S POVI tapped my fingers on my table, my face resting on my palm. It had been thirty minutes since I left Gray’s office, and what he answered me still lingered in my mind.What does he mean he had no idea when did it start? Is he playing with me?How can a person not know when did they start liking a person? Is that even possible?I had to leave his office because an executive passed by and had to talk to him. I didn’t want to be a disturbance so I went back here. Caden left just a few moments ago, so I was alone here since I asked Miranda to take care of the lunch that I promised the team. I had paperwork waiting for me, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to focus so I just let myself fool around, figuring out what the Gray’s answer meant. I tilted my head on the side, my forehead knotting. No matter how much I thought of it, I could not understand it still. If I were to recall when was the time that started I liking him then, I could still narrate every thing about it. It wasn’
Last Updated : 2024-12-04The Ex-Wife's Revenge 81: Villain of the Story
GRAY’S POVI should have advised my secretary to not let anyone in my office while Serena was here. I knew it was working hours, but I did not have the energy to talk to anyone aside from her. She left and I could not think of other reasons to make her come back. I just knew she would not believe me if I said it was about work-related stuff. She did not seem to like my answer to her last question, too, so I had zero hopes of seeing her again for the rest of the day. She might have an interest in me, but it was evident that she valued herself more. As she should. It was the only right thing to do.If she did not want to come back here, then I would go to her instead. Her office was just near mine, and I heard the man named Caden already left. I had all the means to go there and talk to her again.“Ahm, are you going somewhere? Where are you going? We can go out together since… I am also about to leave. Please wait for me.”I instantly ceased walking. Shit. I almost forgot that Lina w

The Ex-Wife's Revenge 109: Gray’s Assumption
GRAY’S POV“I told you that Serena Ambers is a big-time person, man! First, she bought one of the major shares from your company. Second, she is always favored by the board members. Third, she is the only daughter of Victoria. You know how influential Victoria is due to her connections, right?”“Well, I did not anticipate that. I was busy enjoying the party last night and it fucking shocked me when Aerah made a fucking scene. Is this the kind of drama that you’re dealing with in the Moore Estates almost every day, Gray?”Marco and Kole’s sentences weren’t even interesting anymore. I asked them to come to my penthouse to have a drink with me, as I didn’t want to have this confusion just for myself.Seeing Serena pass out like how she did the last time added to my curiosity about her. She had been working in the Moore Estates for some time now, and it felt like there were still a lot of things that I did not know about her.Just like what my friends told me a while ago. They were the on
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 108: No Other Options
LUCIA’S POVI knew that they were bad, but I could not believe that they would come to this point of evilness. Just thinking of what Jane went through made my stomach ugly. How could I live with those demons for so many years?Jane told me that they still didn’t know who was behind all of these, but thinking that one of them once lived with me for years was just absurd. I couldn’t accept that I served my service to the devils.Jane was currently in the board meeting right now, and I was still here, unable to stop myself from sobbing. My heart was breaking for her. She was too kind to experience such things. She was too kind to even meet those bastards.Now I understood why was she hiding herself. Now I understand why she was being careful all the time. My poor Jane. She couldn’t even remember anything. She didn’t even have any idea who was the devil who tried to kill her.The Moores disgusted me so much. It was just right that I never liked them. It was just right that I loathed them
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 107: Lucia and the Things She Knows
SERENA’S POV“You shouldn’t have done that, Mom. You know I can handle myself. You shouldn’t worry about me too much. I am okay…”I thought I would have to wait for another day before my mom’s face and I would be on the news and all social media platforms. I was wrong.Hours after we had arrived at our house, Kaihly showed us the latest published article about the things that happened at Geraldine Moore’s party—specifically the scene that Aerah Celine made.“Oh, you really expect me to stay chill and act so unbothered while they’re embarrassing you in front of those people? I had never seen such a person act like that in my entire existence! How could they be so shameless and drag you to their mess?! I saw what happened and that young woman was the one who spilled the juice on you!”I massaged my temple and drank the last sip of wine from her wine glass. All of us in the house weren’t sleeping yet because of what happened. This was the first time that we opened the topic because my m
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 106: Lucia’s Discovery
GRAY’S POV“Oh my goodness, Gray! Even you? Are you gonna blame me for that? That bitch ruined your mother’s party! You’re still gonna side her after that?”“What are you expecting me to do, huh?! Why are you blaming the woman for something that she never did? You ruined Mom’s party! You should be taking accountability!”I did not understand how deep her anger was toward Serena, and I did not think I would be able to do that. She made a scene and ruined our mother’s special day for the sake of shaming Serena. Now, even her own mother did not want to see her. She did not just shame herself; she also shamed her whole family.“Do you even know what happened, huh?! Were you there? Of course, you’re gonna say all of that because you didn’t see what the hell that woman did to me! You’re just assuming that I am the one who’s the bad guy here because you never side with me!”My sister stood up and faced me, looking up to meet my gaze. Her eyes were bloodshot, and the way her teeth were greete
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 105: Ruined Party
SERENA’S POV “I have been watching what you’re doing to my daughter, young lady. I witnessed everything that happened, Ms. Moore. Are you really one of the Moores? Is this how you represent your mighty family?” My mother’s sophisticated voice echoed throughout the hall, silencing everyone who dared to speak against her. I was still holding my breath, praying that she would not mention anything about the past. I knew she wasn’t dumb to do that, but my anxiety was increasing as she continued informing everyone that I was her daughter. “S-Serena Ambers is y-your daughter, Madame Victoria?!” Geraldine exclaimed, her jaw almost dropping to the floor. I held Caden’s arm and pressed it as if it would do something to calm my mind. “Yes, she is my daughter. And just like you, Geraldine Moore, I can’t also stand seeing my daughter be treated like that by someone who doesn’t seem to think right before taking her actions. You humiliated her in front of these people, Geraldine. I can’t believe
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 104: Victoria’s Daughter
SERENA’S POVThis was a fucking wrong move. It would be okay if I was alone here and no one was watching—especially my family. I could make a way out of this and make myself the victim all the time.But Aerah was uninformed that she wouldn’t be able to realize that this was the stupidest shit that she had ever done. This wasn’t just an anniversary or random event; this was her mother’s celebration for fuck’s sake. How could she not realize that her mother’s special day would be ruined because of what she did?Oh, how can I forget that her mother might approve of this? She came from her, anyway. She might be supportive as fuck just so they could humiliate someone. “I didn’t do anything, Aerah. I was just passing by and you happened to pour your drink on me—”“Ah, so you’re pointing the blame on me now, huh? Look at my dress! I know you can pay for this but don’t you know how sentimental this dress is to me? You don’t! What am I gonna do now, huh? You ruined my night!” she interrupted
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 103: Geraldine’s Birthday Part 2
SERENA’S POVFuck you, Gray. How could you fucking do this to me? Showing up with Hazel Browns, really? Damn him! Damn him and his family!“Don’t let your emotions eat you now, Serena. People are watching. You might as well save it for later.”I could feel Caden tapping me on my arm secretly, but my eyes were unable to look away from the two persons who had just gone inside the hall. I could hear a few murmurs from my surroundings, making me think that I wasn’t the only one surprised by the woman’s sudden appearance.Who the fuck wouldn’t be surprised when he showed up with the woman he cheated on me with before? He even banned Hazel because the woman beat me up so badly!I cleared my throat and turned my gaze to Caden, displaying a smile to hide my irritation. There was something inside me that made me want to ruin this celebration. I didn’t know what to feel, to be honest. But I was afraid that I would do something I might regret later. Fuck.“What’s with that look?” Caden asked me,
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 102: Geraldine’s Birthday
SERENA’S POVI went back to my office with a knotted forehead. I had to be professional and not let my personal emotions take over me. I sat down on my swivel chair aggressively, only to stop myself from complaining about what happened in Gray’s office when I saw a gold envelope on my table. I took it without hesitation, opened it, and read what was inside.“Who put this here?” I asked, my eyes focused on what was written on the material.An invitation to attend Geraldine Moore’s 50th birthday?Oh, I did not know that the wench would like to see me on her birthday. Damn, we made the right choice of not adding me as my mother’s plus-one. Is she really the one who invited me or not? I could not bring myself to believe that she wanted my presence on her special day.“Oh, Mr. Moore’s secretary passed by here to give us that. He said that all of the board members were invited to attend the party. A plus one is even allowed, according to him.”Oh…That was what I thought. The old woman did
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 101: Cutting Ties
SERENA’S POVIt was another day to be strong again. I had to face the Moores with all these questions in my brain, and it still sucked because again, I could not remember anything. My mother and I had talked before I left the house, and we had agreed that I would not attend the party unless someone asked me that was not her. We just could not reveal that we were mother and daughters that easily. I still refused to have them investigate my mother even though I was sure that none of them knew her as my father’s wife then. Even I wasn’t aware of her existence until three years ago. “What’s the update about Mr. Garcia taking over Mr. Jordan’s share, Miranda? I haven’t talked to Mr. Moore about it. Is there any progress? Has the CEO already scheduled a meeting?” I asked as I sat on my swivel chair, watching Lucia wipe the picture frames—specifically the frames that had my picture in it. She had been doing that for a while now, but I wasn’t saying anything. I liked watching her do things
