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

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

SERENA’S POV My heart felt like it was coming out of my ribcage. I sat on the couch in haste, my full attention now focused on my sister. Kaihly was sitting in front of me, her face serious as she looked at me. “Him? Where did you find him?” I inquired, my eyes starting to get teary. How could I not? We had been looking for witnesses that could help us for years. Kaihly was a computer geek, but even she had a hard time looking for the person who had access to the CCTV cameras at the time. It all disappeared right after the accident as if someone asked to delete them. “Yes. I finally got the records of the employees who worked in that neighborhood almost three years ago. The man said he’s willing to tell us everything as long as we would pay him great amo—” “How much does he need? Pay him millions if that’s what he wants. I need to know who wanted to kill me and my baby.” I had been waiting for this for so long. My team had a hard time looking for any evidence that seemed

SERENA’S POV I found myself locking the door of my room right after clicking the green button, answering Gray’s call. It had not even an hour since I arrived home, yet he was bothering me again. Taking a deep breath, I placed the phone on my ear. “Yes, Mr. Moore?” I greeted, my voice low to appear weak. I had to pretend that I was the victim even if we were not face to face right now. “How are you feeling?” he asked, not even greeting me with a hi or hello. His background was filled with silence, and I could only hear his breaths and the sound of his air conditioner. Is he home already? Strange. It was still too early to go home for a CEO like him. “M-My bruises are still hurting. I have put an ointment already, though…” I faked a cough with a low voice, still appearing weak. My cuts and bruises were hurting, but I knew to myself that I was only exaggerating myself. I could hear Gray taking a deep breath from the other line, making me grin in silence. Are you worried, Gray? Or i

SERENA’S POV “Weird.” That was all I could say as I stared at my cellphone screen. What did I do wrong and he suddenly ended the call? It wasn’t like I still wanted to talk to him. It just felt like I did something that made him act that way. Gray Moore never ended the call first ever since he got my number from my secretary. Hmm… something was fishy. What the hell is wrong with that man? Is that because of my joke that was supposed to be funny? “I don’t know, Jane. Why don’t you just stop thinking about him? You have a long day tomorrow,” I talked to myself, remembering the board meeting that I set for the partnership between Landon’s company and the Moore Estates. Landon would see me tomorrow, and I wondered if Gray and he would have tension between them just like the last time. I hoped they would not. I hoped Gray would consider how weak I would be tomorrow. Weak, my ass. Another day and another pretending in front of those bastards. Psh, how I wish Geraldine Moore

SERENA’S POV I could feel Landon’s hands tightening on my waist as if my ex-husband’s presence bothered him. This was what I was preventing from happening. Gray and Landon being in the same room without my presence would result in no good. “Mr. Moore,” I called, smiling. Landon took his hands off me and faced the man who just come. Gray, on the other hand, had his eyes focused on me now, seemingly scanning every part of my body. “And what consequences did you give that woman? I have heard that your secretary isn’t the only one who abused and embarrassed Serena. Your sister and your mother were involved, too, yet they haven’t received any punishment from you,” Landon remarked, his tone low and serious. Damn. The meeting hadn’t even started yet and they were on the verge of fighting already. My body’s strength would not be able to go in between them. “Mr. Mitchell, I treat every member of the Moore Estates with equal rights… especially to their well-being. Ms. Ambers and my fami
Last Updated : 2024-10-06The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 41: Worried?
SERENA’S POV I had to take several deep breaths to register what the fuck did Gray’s sister just said. First of all, why is she here? I thought this was supposed for board members only? “Aerah, don’t start with that,” Gray warned in a serious tone, sending Aerah dagger looks. Fuck. If this was a normal day, I would have said something to freaking defend myself. But no. My body was aching so bad and this damn bitch in front of me still dared to say something. “Is she really like that, Serena? The fuck…” Landon whispered in my ear as he made sure that I was comfortable in my seat. I let out a chuckle as I remembered what I wanted him to do to that woman. By all the information that he knew, he must have been so disgusted with her by now. Who wouldn’t? That was Aerah Celine Moore that we were talking about. No one liked her aside from herself and her freaking family. “Just pretend that you don’t hate anyone in this room, Landon. Remember that you still have to make that woman fall

The Ex-Wife's Revenge 147: Last Farewell
SERENA’S POVGray Moore looked at me straightly as I bid my goodbye to his friends. He had been waiting for his turn, but even I felt like I was not ready to go yet. I felt like I still needed to say something to him before finally leaving the state.My family was already inside the jet, waiting for me to get inside so we could all leave this place. I thought Gray’s friends understood me when they started waving their hands as they walked away from the both of us.We needed privacy, and I was thankful they weren’t slow to understand what I wanted to happen.“I am leaving now. You may or may not see me anymore once this plane leaves to send us somewhere you’ll probably know soon only if you’re desperate enough to find where I live…” I stated, chuckling. Knowing Gray, he could pay millions just to get what he wanted. “I’ll know where you are. I’d go crazy if I didn’t get an update—”“I would not text you or anything, Gray. I would cut connections to all of you. It is also a challenge f
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 146: Private Visit
SERENA’S POVThe sound of my heels colliding with the floor surrounded the empty hallway of this floor. Weeks later and I finally had the time to visit this wench face-to-face.Hazel Brown was sent to jail immediately the day I got rescued, as she didn’t have any major injuries like Geraldine Moore. I did not know how had she been since she was arrested, but I hoped she was suffering here. I hoped she would rot here.I went inside a room when a policeman opened the door for me. This room was just for private visitations, so this was far from Hazel’s cell. This one was decent and might be comfortable for her. I did not want her to feel this good while she was in jail.“Why did you visit me here? Is sending me to jail not enough for you?” she asked the moment I sat down in front of her. Her hands were handcuffed and there were two policemen behind her, while my bodyguards were on my side. “Any form of punishment and torture would never be enough for me, Hazel Brown. You’re lucky I stil
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 145: Forgiveness
AERAH’S POV My heart was throbbing in anxiety as the maid of the mansion escorted me inside. This wasn’t my first time coming here, but this was the only time that I dared to enter the huge structure and face the people whom I had been having anxiety about talking with. I heard my brother was here again. I needed to talk to him… at least just this once. “I did not expect to see you here, Ms. Moore. You’re looking for your brother?” I was startled when I heard a voice that was similar to the voice of the person that I was most scared to face. Looking to the side, I saw Kaihly Ambers sitting on one of the couches, a plate filled with fruits resting on her lap. She was alone there, and I was so thankful for that. She looked exactly like Kelsey, the only difference was that she had soft features and lacked the boldness on her face. “Y-Yes. Have you seen him? I heard he’s here… according to his secretary. I just need to talk to him,” I answered, my confidence leaving me as the minutes
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 144: Fly
GRAY’S POV Ever since Jane got rescued and woke up from her deep slumber, I started having a new routine. It felt like I was already living in their house because I refused to leave her side even though I had a ton of paperwork to do. One part of her room looked like my office. It had a table and a swivel chair where I did what I was supposed to do in my office. Her family offered me a room, but as I said, I refused to leave her side. I would only do so if it were nighttime. But everything must come to an end. When Jane finally healed, I took the initiative to leave her alone and only met with her whenever she went to work. I would visit her from time to time, though—but only if she allowed it. “What the hell is this, Gray? What’s the meaning of this?” Jane inquired curiously as she put familiar papers on my table. “Have you read it?” I asked her back. The last time I saw those papers was already years ago, when I thought she had died, and all I could ever think was to give her e
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 143: Truth and Answers
GRAY’S POVI was not expecting Jane’s family to let me enter their home after all the things that happened. I wouldn’t question it if they banned me here, but that was not the thing they did. They simply let me wander around their house as if I did not do anything wrong, as we all waited for my wife to wake up.Jane was peacefully sleeping in her room, a bedside monitor standing beside her. It had been two days since she got rescued, and she still hadn’t woken up since then. Fortunately, they didn’t hurt her when we hadn’t arrived where they hid her, so there was nothing serious that happened to her body aside from the wound that she got before they took her. She already got the treatment that she needed, but her doctor said she was still under trauma, which was why she wasn’t waking up.My phone had been vibrating for a while now. It wasn’t a call from anyone but text messages from my sister. She had been asking me if I was going to visit our mother in the hospital, and if I was eve
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 142: Geraldine’s End
SERENA’S POV“Oh, stop overreacting, Aerah Celine. It’s just a shot on your leg. Why bother to cry?”I could not believe this old hag. It felt so strange listening to her confident voice when I had been watching her fake her illness a thousand years ago. How could she do all of that stuff? How could she shoot her daughter?“Mommy, stop this now, please—”“Oh, shut the hell up, Aerah Celine! The moment you chose to side with the woman, I no longer considered you as my daughter! How could you betray your mother, huh?! You are just like your brother—”“And how can you call yourself our mother while doing all of these, huh? I can’t believe you, Mom. After all these years… after all of the things that I have done for our family…”I still could feel the metallic material that was pointed at my temple, but after hours of waiting and I finally got to hear Gray’s voice, waves of relief washed over my chest. We were still here yet I already felt like my problems were now resolved. There was no
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
