GRAY’S POV

I 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

    SERENA’S POVDoes he think that I would let him talk to me right now right after I saw him with that model? I refused to be one of the women that he could run to any time whenever he was sick with his other girls.How dare he talk to me right after he complained that he was just one of my men? Damn him. I would not let him manipulate me. I was not one of the women who was so obsessed with him. I would be more than willing to dump him right here.“I know what you’re thinking right now, Serena, and I swear that I am not guilty nor doing something like that—”“I did not ask, Mr. Moore. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll go ahead. I still have to talk to my secretary.”I passed by him and never looked back. I did not even glance at the model that was just behind him, watching us act like we were freaking lovers.Oh, we used to be, Ms. Model. The man you liked right now had a bad family background. They were all a suspect in an attempted murder almost three years ago.With that in my mind, I s

    SERENA’S POVWho does she think she is? If she thought that I would back down just because people believed that she was the good one between the two of us, then she was wrong. I did not give a flying care even if her fans would come to me and say mean things online.I would be more than willing to ruin her image because of what she did just now.But I was not that evil, so I would let this pass. Who knows if her modeling career is the only life she had, right? I would not take that from her… at least not now. She was not crossing the line yet. Her insecurity did not even meet Aerah’s attitude.At least this woman still had class inside her because she was not causing any scene. Her voice was so low that only the three of us could hear what she was saying.People would think that we were having a girly talk here, to be honest.“You bitch. I’ll remember what happened today and what are the things you said to me. I’ll make sure you’ll regret all of these,” she stated for the last time, f

  • The Ex-Wife's Revenge   Chapter 84: Fair Boss

    SERENA’S POV The old maid was still looking up at the ceiling when I stood right in front of her, failing to notice my presence. She looked different compared to the last time I saw her. She was old but did not have as many wrinkles as she had right now. Her heavy breathing was evident, too, making me think of what was happening to her. She was not this weak the last time I bumped into her. She could even carry that old hag’s stuff back then. In a short time, it seemed like she aged too much.I cleared my throat, breaking the silence between us. Lucia turned her head in my direction, the tiredness in her eyes immediately disappearing as she gazed at my face.“You’re the one who bumped into me the last time you went here. What’s your name?” I asked, pretending to not know. I hadn’t asked Kelly if she had gone to the Moore’s house to investigate this woman. She rarely went out these past few days, so I guessed she hadn’t gone there yet.“G-Good morning, Ma’am. Yes, I am that person. H

  • The Ex-Wife's Revenge   85: Was it Gray?

    SERENA’S POV Gray was a great boss here, according to the employees I had talked to then, but I had no idea what he was like toward his servants in his house right now. I could recall that he was just fine to them when we were still married. He paid well and never mistreated the people who worked for his family. He often gave benefits, so whenever they would post for a job hiring, anyone would kill for a spot. I did not know about it now, though. Given that Gray did not even know that Lucia was not working for them anymore, that only proved that he had no interest in knowing what had been going on in his house. Unless the information was intentionally hidden from him, that would be a different story. “I am here to apply for a job, and Gray would automatically know that something happened in his house. I am just not sure whether my application would reach him. He’s the highest person in this company, and I am just an old woman who is already weak. I would not be surprised if my appl

    SERENA’S POVI pulled my shit together, taking a deep breath. I changed my mind. I wouldn’t go home right away just because of that information. Facing Gray right after learning that from Lucia would be the best thing that I should do. I wanted to see how fake he could be. Acting like he freaking liked me after trying to kill the person I used to be.Miranda was silent as she followed me to go somewhere. I had decided to go to the HR first before going back upstairs. I at least needed to help that woman get hired here. I would make sure that she would not be working much, though. Light tasks, a lot of rest, and a day off would do. I would compensate for the good pay that she needed if ever the company would pay her less.“Good afternoon. I need Lucia Davis’ application form,” I started, ignoring a few gasps from the employees who just saw me enter their workplace for the first time. I had never visited this area, so I understood where they were coming from.It was funny how they beca

    SERENA’S POVI was right. The moment I entered my office, I found Gray sitting on the visitor’s chair in front of my table. I had no idea how long he had been here, but I was sure that he had been waiting for me for quite some time now.He did not follow me when I left him with the model. The model did, though, so I guessed they were not really together while I was eating.Looking at the man in my office, I recalled what Lucia told me. My heart started to feel heavier as I went toward him without stating a word.Should I show him the fake jealousy I was feeling? I was not in the mood the last time I talked to him in the hallway. “What’s the purpose of your visit, Mr. Moore? I am sure that you won’t have any problems with the papers that I passed. What is it this time?”I sat on my swivel chair, passing by him without even stopping to flirt and offer seduction—which was my original plan but changed because of what happened earlier.“I am gonna explain myself. I know you’re thinking th

  • The Ex-Wife's Revenge   88: Believe Them? Not That Fast

    GRAY’S POV I treasured my relationship with my mother even though she was sometimes suffocating, but this was what I hated the most. Whenever she did things behind my back. I had told her so many times that she could not fire anyone in my house without telling me. I had not even talked to Lucia for days now, and this was what Serena would tell me.I entered my mother’s mansion in haste. My jaw tightened as I tried to loosen my necktie. I bought this house as a gift to her for her birthday last year. They recently moved here and left Jane and I’s house because of the location.“Good evening, M—” “Where’s my mother?” I interrupted the maid, not wasting any time. I had been wanting to go here since Serena told me what my mother did to Lucia, but I had to be in a meeting so I did not get to drive here earlier. The maid I hadn’t met since they moved here stood straight when she met my sharp gaze. “T-They are in the common room, Mr. Moore. Do you want me to tell them of your arrival? Mrs

  • The Ex-Wife's Revenge   89: They Were Right

    GRAY’S POV Being in the same house with them made me suffocate all the time, so I didn’t stay long and left them immediately. It was somehow strange for me because my mother was silent the whole time I was there and only letting Aerah speak up for her. If what they said was true, which I still doubted, then I thought Lucia and I had to talk and settle things. I needed to know what truly happened. I called the HR manager to ask if Lucia was really applying, and the woman confirmed that it was real. Lucia’s application confused me so much, too. If she really did something to my mom that she knew would result in her being fired, then she should not have done it in the first place. She would be scared to step foot in the property we owned because my mother could file a case against her at any time. I would not let that happen, though. Sending Lucia to jail would not be the solution. I had to wait for the next morning to come before I could talk to the woman. She was applying for a job

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.

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

    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

    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

    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

    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

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,

    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

    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
