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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 30: Landon’s Condition
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 31: Valerie Ambers
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 32: Almost a Fight?
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 33: Fired
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 34: Bruises
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 35: Forgiveness? I Don’t Think So!
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 36: Progess
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 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
