The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 13: Sexual Escapades
KELLY’S POVHolding a newly released magazine from my favorite fashion brand, I pretended to not see Aerah walking toward our table. Aerah seemed to have finished her work at the Moore Estates just now, as she was thirty minutes late on our so-called girls’ night.“Girls! I have missed you guys!” she screamed, making the girls on the table look at her—except me. We were currently in a bar where we were supposed to have our fun tonight. Tsh. Fun, my ass. I would not even be here if it weren’t for Jane’s request. She told me that I should come to gather information even though I already said no to Aerah.“Oh, Aerah! We have missed you, too! You seemed to be so busy with work? You did not even bother to come with us when we had our Paris trip!” Jessica said, kissing Gray’s sister on the cheek. Jessica and Alma, Aerah’s friends in college had been with me for almost an hour now. We were not close, so I did not bother talking to them when Aerah still hadn’t arrived.Aerah sat beside me a

SERENA’S POV“Oh my gosh, Kaihly. What have you done?” Kelly asked with wide eyes, her body relaxed in satisfaction. I was holding the remote as we watched the news that contained Aerah’s face. I only planned about embarrassing that woman two days ago, and now everyone was hating her due to her issues. “I did what you guys wanted to happen,” Kaihly answered, making me grin in silence. I wondered what was currently happening in that family. Did Aerah already know what her own medicine tasted like? I guessed so. I was expecting only Aerah’s governor issue to come out, not all of these. But I guessed these were better than what I was planning. She dared to call me a whore when she was the one who like different men everyday.“Aerah kept calling me since last night. She was asking for a goddamn help to get her out of this. I have been telling her fake reassurances.” “Wouldn’t that woman suspect you for only giving her useless words, Kel? A real friend should be a help.”While I listen

SERENA’S POV Hazel Brown guided me inside the conference room silently. I was behind her, watching her take her every step. My chest felt like clenching every time I would see this woman. I understood that she was the woman that Gray had an affair with years ago, but what more did she have to do with my life aside from that? Her presence always wanted me to throw up.The conference room was close to being empty when we entered it. Gray wasn’t there, and only two of the board members were present, both of them talking to each other. When they saw me, they immediately stood up and nodded their heads. I did the same to show respect.“Mr. Moore would be here anytime soon,” Hazel announced, checking the time on her wristwatch. Miranda sat beside me while we waited for the CEO to arrive. “Where are the others?” I whispered to my secretary. I thought this was a meeting. I was expecting everyone to be here given that the agenda contained important things to talk about. “This meeting is sud

SERENA’S POV “Look, Gray is on the TV!” I put down the newspaper I held and turned to face the television. The mention of that man’s name would never fail to make me turn around to see what was happening. I did not care about him, but I was interested in what he had been up to these past few days. “That’s an unexpected interview. Mr. Moore did not seem to expect the reporters to flock around him,” Miranda commented as she sat beside me, her attention was stolen by my ex-husband, too.She was right. Gray Moore was being interviewed by tens of people outside the Moore Estates building. And by the sharp stares he was sending toward the reporters, it was obvious that those reporters were not anticipated. Hazel was beside him, too, doing her best to make the reporters go away.Gray’s bodyguards were having a hard time handling the situation, as the reporters would not leave Gray’s way if the man would not answer their questions. A smirk emerged from my lips. Gray Moore looked so helples

GRAY’S POV“Hello…”Jane Seri. My head fell downwards as I heard Serena’s husky voice greet me. It was already pitch-black outside, and most of my employees had gone to their homes now—including the vice president of the company. I could not fathom if I was just tired or if Serena’s voice sounded exactly like Jane’s. It was my first time calling her through the phone.“Who’s this?” she inquired, and I frowned as a response. Was she sleeping when I called? Or she did not just save my number?“Gray Moore, Ms. Ambers.”There was a few moments of silence on the other line after I stated my name. Her breaths even sounded like Jane’s.I waited in the middle of the hallway until she could speak again.“What made you call me, Mr. Moore? It is late at night.”I was supposed to ask her whether she was the one who told Hazel that I was texting her, but I thought that was irrelevant. Whether Serena Ambers was the one who told her that or not, Hazel was out of that. “I have been reviewing the c
Last Updated : 2024-09-02The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 18: Mr. Landon Mitchell
SERENA’S POVGray and I had been in a meeting for almost three hours now. He had so many questions regarding the file I sent him, and I was fortunate enough to deliver all my explanations well. It seemed like he would not approve my proposal if I said something that would not satisfy his question.“As I told you hours ago, I have sent this file to each board member. They have reviewed everything and the questions I asked you were the same ones that they sent me. I am quite impressed, Ms. Ambers,” Gray complimented, nodding his head as he scanned the last page of my report. “I would not propose something just because I want to, Mr. Moore. I would not invest in your company if I didn’t know how this kind of business works,” I answered confidently, my chin up. Gray looked up and raised both of his brows, his lips pressed together.I bit my lip. I did not have any idea whether he found me capable or just cocky. Well, I could not care less. I would not be this cocky if I wouldn’t be able

SERENA’S POVI pressed my lips together, forcing myself not to laugh. Landon still had not changed even after we broke up. He was still that same man who I found cringe.“You dummy. Stop using this negotiation as your way to flirt with me. It won’t work, Landon,” I responded, the smile on my lips still had not left. Landon was about to say something when he was ceased by a loud cough. With uncertainty, I turned to look in our front—where Gray Moore was silently watching us. Seeing his face without emotion made me remember what my siblings and I talked about. They said I needed to make this man fall in love with me to get his trust. How am I gonna do that when he didn’t seem to care about what I am doing here with Landon? It seemed like he just wanted to finish all of these and leave. “Moore Estates is not going through bankruptcy, so we don’t need higher discounts for the materials. As per the durability test, I will send an employee to your establishment to check it. If it didn’t

SERENA’S POVLooking at the reflection in the mirror, I saw Gray Moore standing behind me. He was alone and not with his secretary anymore. I faked my confidence and stared at him as if I was not surprised that he was here for the second time. I wasn’t making a noise when I was listening to them argue. Did he notice my presence? “I have been here before you and your secretary entered and started arguing about me,” I told him the truth casually, my tone could not be more unbothered. He did not utter a word, instead he advanced toward me and stood by my side.“Still can’t believe everybody hates me here,” I added playfully, mocking all the people that talked shit about me. Gray opened the faucet and washed his hands, silently listening to whatever I was gonna say.“I hope you won’t believe what Ms. Brown said,” he remarked, not looking at me. Gray then turned off the faucet and went to the hand dryer. I watched his movements through the mirror, my stares were intent.“Which one? The p

GRAY’S POV“I was never in love with my wife, Lucia. Maybe I was interested in her before everything changed—”“You are just in denial. You are in love with Jane, Gray. You have always been in love with her. Even after she passed, you have been in denial. You kept telling yourself that you were not in love with her because your untamed anger was still there. You are mad at her for what she did, and you became angrier when she passed…”Lucia’s words started sinking into my mind slowly, highlighting everything that she was saying. I closed my eyes as I started recalling the times that Jane was still alive.I admitted that I was not a good husband. I was merely a stranger to her, as I was not always at home. My office actually became my house because of too much work that my father was giving me. Those were my preparations once the company would be given to me. Jane would talk to me whenever we had the chance to do so, but I would always answer her like how I answered most people that I
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 98: Am I Not in Love With Her?
GRAY’S POV I did have an idea of what should I do, but I did not think I would be able to trust myself.“I don’t think we should talk about this over the phone, Serena. I just called to apologize, but I would like to talk about us in person,” I responded, regretting that I called tonight and disturbed her. I wanted to apologize, but the original plan was to do it in person. I just called because I happened to miss her voice. “Tsk. Whatever. Let’s talk in person like what you want, Mr. Moore. I am gonna end this call now. Bye.” She ended the call without letting me bid her goodbye. I inhaled a deep breath, turning off my phone. My feelings had been confusing me since then, and now that I had to decide, it seemed like I could not bring myself to decide what should I do, too. I could fucking feel that I wanted Serena to be mine. I liked her as Serena Ambers, but I also could not help but remember how I used to act around my wife. It was fucking confusing me. Did I only like Serena be
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 97: Is He Going to Avoid me?
SERENA’S POV “Yeah, she did. I received an email from one of her friends. I declined because what am I gonna with them? Listen to them talking nonsense about other people?” My shoulders fell. She was invited to one of Geraldine’s private gatherings. I was sure a tea party would not be huge, so only a few people were invited there. One of them was my mother, and that was already a chance to have a connection with her. “You know I don’t have many friends because I don’t wanna waste my time talking about other people’s business, right? It’s not my cup of tea. I would rather spend time with my children and talk about something that would make sense to me,” my mother added, almost rolling her eyes at me. I bit my lip and refrained from talking about how much information we could get from that woman alone. That tea party would not only be about the tea that they would drink. I was sure it was a tea about someone’s life, too. Hopefully my life. It was okay if she talked shit about me as
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 96: Slacking Off
SERENA’S POVI could feel Miranda’s intent stare as we listened to what was Lucia saying. We had been investigating what truly happened in the past, and we had never encountered someone who said that my husband used to be interested in me. Did that really happen? Because I could not remember a single thing regarding that. I had never felt Gray’s interest in me.“He’s interested? I heard from a few employees here that they are only under an arranged marriage. And if he’s interested, he would not flirt with the woman you were talking about…”Is Lucia even telling me the truth right now? How come Gray liked me when I was always a ghost to him? He rarely went home and never knew anything about me. He was always too busy with the company. He was always with his father.“Oh, I don’t know what happened to that man. They were indeed only under an arranged marriage for the sake of business, but I knew that Gray truly liked his wife. He never told me anything but his actions told me so. He migh
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 95: Interested in Me?
SERENA’S POVI was so confused. I could not name what I was feeling right now, honestly. But no matter what it was, it was against my better judgment to freaking feel this way.We were already on our way to my office, and I still could not comprehend these emotions.Should I be freaking glad that Gray said that he missed the old me or be confused because what the fuck? How could he miss someone he used to hate? How could he miss someone that he kicked out years ago?I should be pissed off. That was right. There was no right answer between those two. I should be mad and cussing the hell out of him because even after all these years, even if he wasn’t aware that I was Jane that he said he was missing right now, he was still stressing me out. So, what was gonna happen now? Is this the end of our useless relationship? Is this the end of my pretend flirting with him? This could not be happening at all. I had not even asked him about so many things.If he wanted to be away from me starting
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 94: Should I Stop?
GRAY’S POV I would bury myself to the ground. What the fuck is wrong with me? Serena’s eyebrows squished together. She was just as confused as me, but the difference was I knew where those words came from. I knew why did I say that, but I had no idea why I had to fucking say it out loud. My chin tilted up as I swallowed hard. I ran out of excuses to tell her, but I had to think through it. I should not have said that if it wasn’t meant for her completely. I was damn well aware that it wasn’t just Serena who I missed. I fucking missed my wife, too. “What do you mean? We’re always seeing each other in the company. What’s wrong?” she asked, giggling at me. I cleared my throat, straightening my back. I looked away from her and pretended to look at my employees instead.“It’s nothing. I just remembered something. Forget it.”“Forget what you said? That you missed me? Oh, Gray. No one can hear us talking here. Look, they are all busy. You don’t have to hide how much you want me, my darl
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 93: Jane’s Style
SERENA’S POVThree days had passed and this was the first day that Lucia would start working in the Moore Estates. During those days, Gray and I were both so preoccupied with paperwork that we barely even flirted with each other.The situation seemed to be favoring me because I would rather sign all those papers than sit in his office, waiting for him to notice my exposed cleavage.“Oh my goodness, you look like Jane!”A sly smile formed on my lips as I went down the stairs, my dress almost reaching the ground whenever I took a step toward them.The construction of my proposed project started today, and Gray and I had to be there to check on what was going on. I had gone there two times, but Miranda and I would only pass by all the time. I could not afford to run late at work while I was keeping my professional image.It was undeniably sunny on the site because of the recently demolished land. I made sure that there would be more than enough trees in the surroundings, though. We had t
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 92: Culprit
SERENA’S POVMiranda was more than fine knowing that there would be another person working the office aside from the both of us. I believed Lucia wasn’t so sensitive to people, so I guessed she would just be fine spending most of her hours with us. I reminded Miranda a hundred times to not mention anything about my past and what was our plan, as Lucia did not know who I truly was. I hoped she would be alright seeing me every day. As much as I could, I did not want her to be emotional. It might trigger me. “Ms. Ambers, Madame Valeria Ambers wants to talk to you. She asked me to remind you to call her once you come back here. I think she has something to discuss with you, Ma’am,” Miranda announced, breaking the silence in the office.I ceased from signing the papers that Gray sent here. Silently, I dialed my mom’s phone number on my phone, not expecting that she would answer it on the first ring. She did. Isn’t she busy right now? “Mom, what’s up?”“Remember what we have talked abou
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 91: Peck on the Cheek
SERENA’S POVI could see the fire in Gray’s eyes as he felt my touch on his thigh. I smiled in my mind, realizing how the slightest thing that I did affected him so much.His head got closer to mine, and right there I knew I should stop what I was doing. I did not want him to kiss me. I did not think I would go that far right now.Our eye contact remained intense, but it broke when I turned my head away, releasing a heavy sigh as if I were the most problematic person in this room.“What’s wrong?” the bastard asked, searching for my eyes. I shook my head and looked at him with worry.“You know what? I really could not help but worry about Lucia when I saw her yesterday. She told me she needed a job. Are you gonna accept her? I don’t know why was she fired but I really have a soft heart with old people. I don’t want her to work but it seems like she really needed the job. Are you gonna hire her here?” I stated, placing my hand on his.My worry about the old woman was true, but I asked h
