The 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

SERENA’S POVI could not believe it. I did not want to believe it. There were so many questions in my head that kept popping up, and Gray, standing up in front of me while I remained clueless did not help at all.“You probably had your reason. Anyway, I have to go, Mr. Moore. My secretary and I still have to deal with things.”I turned my back on him and left the bathroom, not looking back. My pace was slow while I walked, but the more questions that were left unanswered in my mind, the more that it would get faster that I did not realize I was already running.Tears pooled in my eyes as I ran through different hallways, unsure where should I go. My mind was going haywire as I found myself almost passing out at the fire exit, my knees trembling.“W-What the hell does he mean?” I asked myself, tears falling down my eyes. I was so confused. I could not remember anything, but the words he said were far from what I believed. All of them seemed to be altered in a way that would make my min

SERENA’S POV“Why the hell would he do that in the first place? Didn’t he want to divorce you?” Kelly exclaimed as she stood in front of me, both of her hands resting on her waist. Kaihly and her picked us up in the Moore Estates parking lot, expertly disguising themselves as different people. I told them we were fine, but they were so stubborn that I did not realize that we were already at home. “Your husband is so fucked up, Jane,” Kaihly commented, resting her head on my shoulder. I sniffed, nodding my head in response. We had confirmed that Gray and I’s marriage was still registered with the help of Kaihly’s technical skills. Gray faked it like what he said, but when we dived deeper and Kaihly used things that all of us weren’t aware of, we freaking saw what Gray was talking about. “What’s the purpose of lying when we all know that he was in favor of the fucking divorce? Everyone was in favor of that aside from Jane because unfortunately, she was so in love with that man that sh
Last Updated : 2024-09-09The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 23: Wedding
SERENA’S POVI put the wedding ring back inside the drawer, hiding it as if it was something I did not want to see ever again. I used to look at it with admiration when Gray and I got married, as it symbolized that we were one in our marriage. But now, I could not bring myself to stare at it without feeling the clench in my heart. “A million dollars was wasted to symbolize cruel love,” I whispered to myself, shaking my head. I shut my eyes firmly and did not let another lone tear escape from it.The darkness in my vision started to have images, as it gradually played a few memories that I had been keeping for years now. FLASHBACK — Almost 6 years ago“After this big day, you can build a family of your own. You can have your complete and happy family, my princess,” my dad told me as we watched the guests get entertained by the wedding host.He was beside me as he held a wine glass, but I doubt he was drinking at all. My father was never a drinker.“Do you think Gray will like me, Dad

SERENA’S POV “Wouldn’t Gray suspect you for being absent today? You don’t look sick,” Kelly stated as we passed by different designer stores. Kelly forced me to go shopping with her today. I knew it was risky and we might get caught here, but I could not spend another hour alone in our house. I might go crazy due to unwanted memories that would attack me. “I don’t care if he suspects me or not. I do my job well. He shouldn’t have a say in this,” I replied casually. Aerah did this all the time, so she never got the promotion she wanted. This would be the first time that I would spend my time with my sister without talking about things that were not related to the revenge I wanted to do. “What if Aerah sees you with me? What are you gonna tell her?” I asked her, wondering.Well, I thought I could get away with Aerah’s anger that easily. I could just tell her that people wanted to be friends with me, and I did not think there was something wrong with that. However, I was sure that wom

AERAH’S POVRena?Who the fuck interrupted me? With piercing stares, I turned to my side to know who owned that manly voice. My eyes widened slightly, my feet almost freezing on the ground.Fuck. Landon Mitchell?My gazes shifted from the Landon to Serena, and Serena to Landon Mitchell, the only man who dared to reject me when I made the first move on him while I was traveling in France. Landon went to Serena’s side and rested his arm on her shoulder as if they had known each other for years now. I felt the bitterness in my chest as I watched Serena’s huge smile, seemingly happy to see Landon here.How the hell did they know each other? Landon has multiple businesses including furniture and construction materials, but he was more active when it came to his bar businesses. Serena was not the type of person that would go to a bar. How did she know him? She seemed so connected to the people I knew. “Landon. What brought you here?” Serena asked with a smile, almost making my mouth sligh

The Ex-Wife's Revenge 141: Mastermind
SERENA’S POVI felt lightheaded as Charles continued carrying me. The only hope that I had with me right now was the fact that Gray would be with us anytime soon. How dumb it was to feel like this when I was the one who ran away from him before I got kidnapped.I was the one who put us all into this.“Jane, I have to stop carrying you for now. Aerah Celine will guide you while I protect the three of us from any person who might come to us. This will be quick. Gray and the backups will be here anytime soon…” Charles whispered to me, making me open my eyes amidst the gunshot that I was hearing around the building.I was comfortable being carried by him, as my injured leg could not take it anymore. But hearing that this would be over soon, it was as if the motivation to get through all of these that I thought had left my body made me agree to what he said.My silent nod was his cue to put me down carefully. The moment that my feet felt the solid ground immediately had me gasp in pain. Ae
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 140: Charles and Aerah
SERENA’S POV My lips seemed to be experiencing draught due to dryness, my bruised leg was numb, and I was damn well sure that I had lost a lot of blood during my whole stay in this building. It had been so many hours since Hazel told me those things. She said that she would finish me and I would not be able to leave this place alive. During my hours of stay here, I had a lot of time to think of what she told me. I even came across thinking of the things that I wanted to tell not just to my family but also to Gray before Hazel decided to kill me. It was so heavy in my chest to even think that I would not have the chance to talk to Gray after learning all of those things, but somehow, while I stayed all alone here for I did not know how many hours, there was a time that I accepted that this would be my end. That I would die without achieving the justice and happiness that I deserved. I did not know what Hazel was waiting for. Is this her way of killing me? To let me have an infection
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 139: The Search
GRAY’S POVIt had been a day since Jane went missing. Because of this happening, we paused everything that we were about to do during the whole team building. To be fair to the other employees who had been so excited about this out-of-town activity, I gave them all a budget to stay on a nearby island where they could enjoy things without interruptions.There were only a few of us left here, and when I said few, only Jane’s relatives and mine were present. Including the police officers that we contacted, of course.“Look for my daughter in all the corners of this island and the nearby ones. It is so impossible for her to be missing in this small place. I need you to find her.”The woman whom they called Victoria, the mother of the love of my life sat at the end of the table with a wine glass in front of her. Just like what they described her, she had a strong facade because of her sharp features which no one dared to talk about while she was speaking.I did not know if I was the only o
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 138: The Truth
SERENA’S POVIt was like a long dream. A dream that I wish I did not remember at all for the sake of saving my heart from all the pain that I already felt for the past years when I could not remember anything.It was just the same. Remembering everything or not, I would still end up hurting.I remembered all the things that happened now. From my childhood up to the night that I got into an accident—or perhaps, an intentional one that made me forget half of my existence.How could Gray do that? That night, Hazel told me that it was Gray who asked her to kill me. Right after sleeping with her in our house, that was what he did to get rid of me.But there was something wrong. There was something that wasn’t connecting to what she was saying in my memory.If Gray really tried to get rid of me, why didn’t he sign the divorce papers? Why did he act like he was so in love with me? Things like that were not adding up at all. Was Hazel trying to trick me that time? Was that a real thing and sh
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 137: Jane Is Missing!
SERENA’S POVIt was so stupid of me to even try standing up and turning my back on him. The ache in my chest was pushing all my stupidity to keep going and leave this man. I didn’t know where to go and how would I come back, but I kept on walking away even though I was screaming inside because of pain.I did not want to be with him right now.I had the advantage when I was walking away as Gray seemed to be not in his right thinking right now. He had only called my name, but the words I said seemed to strike him so much that he couldn’t even move to follow me.I started running away even though the sharp wood that was attached to my leg was stabbing me in every step I took. I couldn’t find the way out of this mess, but I was lucky enough that I didn’t hear his footsteps near me.“Damn it,” I whispered as I held on to my knee to support my body. I was gasping for air as I stopped and looked behind me, relieved that I was all alone on my way back.“How stupid can you be to let yourself b
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 136: Found
SERENA’S POV How did he get here? I believed he was also busy looking for the treasure that we had to find. Why did he even come here? I meant, it wasn’t like I did not want someone to find me, but I was expecting Landon or the other employees to find me!“Fuck, what happened?” He ran toward me in haste the moment his eyes landed on my bloody legs. It already felt numb, so I did not notice that he was referring to it immediately. I did not speak, instead, I just watched him worry about me while my mind started roaming around what had happened today. I never spotted Gray talking to Hazel, not even just for once ever since this day started, but seeing that woman follow him around like a dog just fucking made my chest abnormally in pain. I was slowly regaining my memories day by day, and I felt like I was close to the part where both of them would betray me. And no matter how much I wanted to learn the truth, every memory that I would remember just made my heart ache even harder. I re
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 135: Lost
GRAY’S POVI could not take my eyes off my wife when I saw her walking toward the seashore wearing only nothing but a two-piece. The last time I saw her wearing one was years ago, and we weren’t really close at that time.“Stop being a creep, man. You’re staring at her too much.”I blinked twice to pull myself together. Perhaps I might be looking like a creep right now as I continued admiring my wife even if I was meters away from her. How could I not? She was so gorgeous and I was sure I wasn’t the only one appreciating her beauty.They had been walking around the beach together with her secretary and her other friends, taking pictures together like there was no tomorrow. I didn’t follow her, of course. I wanted her to enjoy this vacation with little to no interruption of her activities.“Too bad you won’t be seeing her be a sporty woman today, man. Why did you even ask them to move the schedule for the beach volleyball? It would be lit,” Marco inquired with curiosity, watching my wi
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 134: Two-Piece Bikini
AERAH’S POV “Did you see that, Mom? What the hell is going on between them? I thought Gray was avoiding that woman already? What is happening, and why has your son been clinging to that woman since this morning? He didn’t even stay in our cottage when we ate breakfast…” I eyed the two of them as they walked away from the crowd. Couldn’t my brother think properly? He knew that we hated that woman, yet he was still doing this shit and kept neglecting what we were telling him. The person that I paid to spy on him told me that my brother was rarely with Serena, and seeing how he was acting right now just made me think that the bastard was lying to me. “Are they in a relationship now, Mrs. Moore? Gray is so unbothered with our presence. He hasn’t talked to me since we came here. What do I do, Mrs. Moore? Huh?” Hazel inquired, her voice slightly shaking for an I did not know reason. Is she threatened that Serena Ambers, who shared the same face as Gray’s ex-wife, was probably going out w
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 133: Can I Still Neglect It?
SERENA’S POVSince we could not waste time, we only did a few hours of resting before proceeding to the activities that were prepared for today. I guessed this was what Landon was telling me a while ago.All of us changed into the shirts that were provided for each team. Our team wore pink shirts, while Gray and his team wore white. I couldn’t imagine how dirty it would be after all the games that we were about to play.“Catch the duck for the first game? You wouldn’t force me to play that, Miranda. Over my dead body,” I whispered as I listened to the host announce the first activity. I would rather stay in our room the whole day than have myself roll on the sand trying to catch a duck while blindfolded. “It is for men only. We are not allowed to join yet, so it would be Landon, Caden, and the other men in our team as well. We’re just gonna sit here to support them…”I felt relief in my chest as I heard the words. The hosts started reading the mechanics. If I understood it right, eac
