The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 19: Bathroom Quarrel
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 20: Jane Moore
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 21: Gray’s House
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 22: Ring
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
The 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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 24: Unexpected
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 25: Jealous Gray?
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 Chapter 26: Threatened? By who?
SERENA’S POV I bit my lips as I watched Aerah Celine’s inconsistent reactions. How could I not be amused when she would send me dagger stares as if she wanted to kill me and would be frightened at the same time whenever Landon would add another sentence regarding her brother’s suspicious actions? Landon knew that I had a husband then, but he wasn’t aware that it was Gray Moore. He also knew that I was planning to avenge my child, but he did not have any idea that I was already in the process of doing it right now. “Still strange. No one would reject such a nice offer especially if the project is too risky. But as I was saying, I don’t have the right to judge. Mr. Moore probably had his reasons,” Landon concluded, letting go of the topic. I nodded my head, agreeing with what he said. Aerah, on the other hand, remained silent as she listened to us, her eyes now directed to the floor and her eyebrows almost meeting each other. She was probably thinking what the hell was wrong with he

The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 67: Confession Heart?
SERENA’S POV“Who the hell is that man Mom was talking about?” I asked myself as I ate the salad Kelly made for us. Just like usual, all of us were in the lounge, spending our time here however we wanted. The sun was up now, but none of us seemed to have planned to leave the house. Well, I did have a plan, but I would not be so stubborn again like how I did last time. My doctor freaking scolded me when he learned how I didn’t take his advice seriously. Also, no matter how much I wanted to go out and do what I had to do, I would not take any risks again unless I really needed to do so. Geraldine almost learned what was I hiding because of my stupidity and stubbornness. I was too careless and wasn’t thinking smart enough.“Chill, girl. You don’t have to worry about it too much. Mom’s men are all reliable when it comes to technology and physical fights. You won’t be dead if someone tries to kill you again,” Kaihly answered the question that was supposed to be heard only by me. Tch. S
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 66: Picture Frame
GRAY’S POV“Tsk. Forget about that Serena Ambers, man. It’s so fucking obvious that you’re interested in that woman, but you’ll never be at peace with her because of your family. Why don’t you try liking other women? Your former secretary—”“Shut the fuck up, Kole. I told you I am not interested in dating for now. I won’t fucking deny nor confirm anything for now, too, because everything is just so fucking confusing.”I messed up with my hair as I looked down the floor. I was not a teenager to be fucking in denial with my feelings, but I wouldn’t name whatever I felt because damn, they were not the same person, but I was afraid if ever I was falling deeply in love with Serena just because she reminded me of Jane. I had met women like Serena Ambers before. Brave and bold, and they never get too carried away with their feelings just like her, but I was never interested. Maybe as business partners, yes, as I was assured of their professionalism, but other than that, they did not interes
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 65: Favorite
GRAY’S POV “Damn, that was fucking straight to the point,” Kole stated, gasping. He lightly bumped his shoulder against mine as if telling me how bad it was, that it was rude and I should not have said that. Looking at Chelsea’s embarrassed expression, I thought he was right. I should have stayed quiet.“A-Ah, it’s okay Lawrence. You don’t have to force me to Gray. This party is for Marco. It should not be for me and Gray. And duh? We just met and he barely knew me. Stop shipping me to him, guys. It’s quite embarrassing for the both of us,” Chelsea told us, stuttering and not looking where I was. She had this huge smile on her face just a while ago when Marco’s friends were teasing her to me, but now that I told them how uninterested I was, she seemed to deny it and started acting conscious. Did that embarrassment do that to her? I apologized for being blunt, but that was what I truly felt. I wasn’t hoping for an issue. I would rather look rude from their perspective than let them
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 64: Marco’s Birthday
GRAY’S POV “Fucking hell,” I cursed as I parked the car outside Marco’s house. My right cheek still felt numb even if my sister had slapped the hell out of my face hours ago. The rearview mirror showed me the remembrance of it—it was red and had the tiny mark of her ring that was on her fingers when it happened. I hoped this birthday celebration was an intimate one. I could not afford to be seen by guests looking like this. Fuck, why does it have to be Marco’s birthday today? Knowing that man, he was a social butterfly who knew almost all the people in and outside Texas. I got out of the car and went inside my friend’s million-dollar house, bringing nothing but the face my sister hit. I had no time to bring him gifts when many things had happened today when it wasn’t even 10 pm yet. I was not even in the pool area yet I could already hear the sound of the music. What do I expect? Marco was a party animal. I got where they were wearing the suit that I often wore while I worked, giv
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 63: A He?
SERENA’S POV The lounge fell silent as Miranda walked toward me. I glanced at Kelly, hoping to see the expression on her face that said, “I wanna answer it.” But no. My younger sister only gave me a signal by nodding her head, seemingly telling me that I should be the one to answer it. Usually, Kelly would be the one to communicate with our mother. I always led the plan and sometimes would do what they suggested, but when it came to talking to the one who birthed us, Kelly was always our representative. She had the most amazing communication skills among us and she could convince the one and only Valeria Ambers not to go here. I took a deep breath as I received the phone from my secretary. Mom’s name flashed on the screen, making me nervous even more. I answered the call as silence enveloped inside the lounge room, turning on the speaker button so that my sisters could hear her, too.“Mommy…” I greeted, befuddled on what tone should I use. She just heard that I passed out in the de
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 62: She Told Her!
SERENA’S POV “Kelly, stop with the arguing, please. There’s something that we need to do first before anything…” Kaihly interrupted us, her tone worried. We all looked at her simultaneously, forgetting what we were worried about in a split second. It was so rare to see Kaihly without her tablet or laptop. She would not be able to live without those gadgets. But right now, she had nothing on her hand. She was just listening to us, seemingly assessing the situation. “What is it? Are there other things that we need to be worried about besides that our mother is coming here anytime soon? Damn, Kaihly, what is it?”Kaihly took a deep breath and stood up. She then faced us all, the look of terror was hiding behind her eyes, yet it still could be seen from our point of view. With the way she was acting right now, I felt like something bad was about to happen. Kaihly was always calm and composed. She was the only person who could be so chill in the middle of chaos. “Miranda said that they
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 61: The Moore Siblings
AERAH’S POVI only realized that they had gotten away already when an intern walked in front of me. Snapping back to reality, I clenched my fist and continued walking. I could not see them anymore, but the memory still lingered in my mind.Serena just passed out. Why did she have to cling like that to Landon? Why did Landon have to guard her as if someone would do something bad? He was freaking overreacting! I had not heard anyone died from freaking mild headache! If I knew, that Serena was just faking it for fucking attention!That was what she was… like what Jane always did!With my head knotting, I headed towards the clinic where Serena was just a while ago. I heard they did some lab tests on her. Well, not here because a clinic in a company could not do that. The probably got the things that they needed from her and did it at one of the nearest hospitals here—which our family also owned. I had not even gotten inside the clinic when its door suddenly opened, revealing my brother a
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 60: Clinic
SERENA’S POVMy head was lightly in pain, but it was not throbbing enough to make me look suspicious in front of Gray and Miranda. My sight was starting to get clearer as I regained consciousness. I was not in my room. This room was like a mini hospital that I had never seen before. Is this still inside the Moore Estates? I had never been in here.“Ms. Ambers… are you okay? How are you feeling? You have been asleep for hours now. Do you feel dizzy? Is something hurting?” Miranda asked one after another. I sat down on the bed, my forehead knotted.Her questions were making my mind turn upside down. I just woke up, for goodness sake. I would not be able to process any information for now.“Stop, Miranda. My head might hurt again because of your questions. Please, I don’t wanna answer anything for a while right now,” I said, trying not to give an attitude but ended up sighing so deeply.The only thing that I wanted to do right now was go home. They had no idea how much I was nervous pas
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 59: He Remembered
SERENA’S POV — Serena’s Dream / Memory Continuation —I walked toward the dining room silently, hoping to see nothing but the food Lucia had prepared for me. I would surely eat the leftovers from last night. I would not let the food I worked hard for go to waste just because Gray did not show up. Lucia and I put our blood, sweat, and tears for all of these.“Lucia, I am here now…” I announced as I entered the dining room—only to halt and fall silent when I saw a man sitting at the end of the table. All of the dishes that we cooked yesterday were served. His eyes went straight to where I was, but he did not say anything or even greet me good morning. He was still here? I thought he had left already. I intentionally took my time preparing for the day because I thought he would not bother waiting for me. My eyes fell on his empty plate. It seemed like he had been waiting for me to come down and join him. It was clean and shining. “Good morning,” I greeted in a low voice, smiling fain
