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

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
Last Updated : 2024-09-14The 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 100: Is She Heartbroken?
KAIHLY’S POVI would not know what exactly should I do right away if ever I was alone in this situation. Caden took the lead in instructing Landon what to do, and I just followed most of what was he saying. With the help of Caden and I, Landon got to escape the situation by misleading the direction of the people who followed him the moment he drove his car away from the coffee shop.Caden seemed to be so aware of the ins and outs in this area. He was the one who talked to the man on where to go. I felt like a display here knowing that Caden did most of the things. I was just assisting him with what he needed me to do. I had been admiring how smart he was for the whole night, and the only thing that was new to me was how disappointed I was in Landon after knowing that he did not bother sending Aerah home.I meant, I did not like the woman for what she had done to my sister but if I probably did not know who she was, I would pity her for liking a man that was not so interested in her.
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 99: Caden and Kaihly
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
