The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 29: Her Account
GRAY’S POV“What’s happening to you, son? I cannot believe what your sister told me. Is it true that you like Ms. Serena Ambers?”Those were the words that I heard first thing in the morning. I went to my office earlier than usual to finish something that I did not get to do last night. I was not expecting my mom to come here this early, too, just to say those nonsense things my sister told her.“Your daughter is just exaggerating things, Mom. I was not in the mood during the negotiation. They only misunderstood me.”How did Aerah even know what happened that time? As far as I could remember, Ms. Brown wasn’t there and only Serena, Landon Mitchell, and Miranda Rowans were with me in that room. It would be strange if Aerah knew it from Serena.My sister would not even want to be in the same room with her. Talking to her was beyond impossible. “Are you sure? You know what happened when you married Jane—”“Please, let me work in peace, Mom. Stop mentioning Jane in the conversation when

GRAY’S POVI had been staring at her old photos for quite some time now. I was supposed to be working during this time, yet I found myself unable to move in my seat, my gaze stuck on Serena Ambers’ photos from almost three years ago.I noticed how she was always sitting on most of her old pictures. It was always candid and half-body, too. If I wasn’t observant enough, my sight would not even make me realize that she only started posting full-body photos only recently. “She fucking looks like her,” I muttered, biting my lip. Does she really look like this before? If I happened to meet Serena Ambers almost three years ago, I was sure I would fucking lose my mind. Her smile was just the same as Jane’s. Even her posture was like my wife’s.“What’s this?” I whispered as I clicked one of her old photos, trying to be careful not to like it. Serena Ambers in these photos was like Jane with longer hair. I zoomed the post to see her face, trying to focus on what she looked like—but immediately

SERENA’S POVI had been on dates with Landon. Might it be as best friends or as lovers, I did not really mind. His condition wasn’t a new or even a strange event for me. I had been seen with him multiple times, too. If I wasn’t mistaken, I thought there had been a published article about us being seen leaving a hotel. Goodness. My mom even thought that I was sleeping with him after we broke up. “I didn’t know you had an issue with that woman. You don’t usually do this, Serena. What did the woman do?” Landon asked, his eyes narrowing. There was no glint of judgment on his face, but I could tell he was dying to know what was happening. I acted nice toward Aerah yesterday, so he was probably confused. “You know that I lost my baby, right? You are also aware that my ex-husband and his family were the reason why I lost my child,” I started. Landon knew everything about my past, and I was sure he would understand why was I doing this. “Of course. I know everything about that, Serena. I w

SERENA’S POV I thought I needed to breathe fresh air. We would not be able to stop my mother if she really wanted to go here. Well, it was okay, but the things she might do would surely direct our plans to another path. Our mother was kind, but she was not the type of person who would please people so that she could look like the bigger person. She liked to do things her own way… may it be good or not. “What am I gonna do, Miranda? We can’t stop my mother, and we would not be able to control Aerah and Geraldine’s mouths either. This would be chaos.” I rested my face on my palm, appearing problematic. Mom was currently in Spain right now, living her best life in one of our houses there. My mother loved to work, so she probably was working there even though we told her to take a break. She said that there was another reason why she would go here… I wonder what could that be. It was probably for work again. That reason alone would not give us the ability to let her stay in Spain. “M

GRAY’S POVMy jaw clenched as I watched Serena and Mr. Mitchell walk away from us. What the fuck is that man doing here? Visiting? Since when did Serena Ambers become a cripple? As far as I could remember, he wasn’t needed in my company right now. “U-Uhm… Mr. Moore? Aerah is already waiting for me at the parking. I’m gonna have to go now.”I snapped back to reality when I heard Aerah’s friend’s tiny voice. I did not know what her name was… or maybe I forgot about it when my sister told me. I honestly did not give a fuck. She seemed nice unlike Aerah’s other friends who knew nothing but to spend their parents’ money and fool around with men. “You can go now,” I told her, nodding my head. My eyes were still stuck on the hallway where I last saw the image of Serena and Mr. Mitchell walking away. That man fucking pissed me off, and I thought my presence was doing the same thing to him. Mr. Mitchell wasn’t like that when we met, so I probably offended him during our negotiation. Tsh. I

SERENA’S POV “Oh, gosh! Do I really have to apologize for that? He was the one who was in the wrong,” I spoke to myself as I walked down the hallway. Landon just left, and Miranda advised me to apologize for what I had said to Gray a while ago.Well, not necessarily apologize, but I had to show that we were okay despite what happened earlier. I almost forgot that I had a goal to gain his trust and make him fall in love with me. I took a deep breath and faced the door of Gray’s office, ready to knock. Is he still with Aerah’s blonde friend? I wonder if Hazel Brown was inside, too. “Why the fuck does it matter to you? I have told you a thousand times that I want you to stay away from my business! Do your job as my secretary and leave my personal life alone!”Gray’s loud voice from inside the room almost made me jump on where was I standing. I was sure I wasn’t the only one who heard it, as employees who were passing by his office halted, too. What the hell is happening inside? “So yo

GRAY’S POVSerena was hurt badly. Now, whether my mother liked it or not, Hazel Brown would not have a chance to work here again. What she did was against our policy. Physical abuse toward any employees who worked here would have consequences.“I have interviewed a few applicants even before I fired Ms. Brown. I had been planning to do this for a while now so I wouldn’t have a hard time looking for her replacement once she’s gone,” I told Ms. Rowan, Serena’s loyal secretary. We were currently inside the vice president’s office, watching Serena’s bruises get treated by the medic.“I don’t understand where that woman got her hatred toward my boss. Ms. Ambers wasn’t doing anything at all…” she stated, her forehead knotted.I remained silent and only watched Serena sitting on the couch, her eyes still red due to crying. She must have felt so hurt and embarrassed. A lot of employees were looking at her while Hazel Brown attacked her. I clenched my fist in irritation. Some people were near

SERENA’S POV I still could not understand where he was coming from. Every board member had the right to have visitors anytime, for business or personal visits, as long as they could fulfill their job well even without Gray knowing. What the hell is his beef with Landon and he hated the man so much? I would never understand him. I had to lie to Gray that I could understand him just so the conversation could end. I had done my part today. I thought I did well in gaining everyone’s sympathy… especially Gray who even followed me in my office even though he knew damn well that he wasn’t needed there. We were currently in the car, and our driver sending us home. I had to go home earlier because of what happened. That was what Gray wanted, too. He seemed concerned about me, but I refused to believe every kindness he was showing Serena Ambers. He failed to do kindness for his wife then, and it was just hard to believe that he could be concerned for someone when he could not even do it bef

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
