The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 40: Special Treatment
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
The 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 Chapter 42: Hear What?
SERENA’S POVGenuinely worried? What is this man on? I blinked rapidly as I looked away from him, my gaze now focusing on the front. Landon’s voice was loud and clear as he talked about the plan and the proposals, but there seemed to be a problem in my ear that I could not understand anything that I was hearing. Or rather, the words any of the people said within the room would not register in my mind.What the hell? I tried hard to not look at Gray’s direction. He was just beside me, and I had to gather all my effort to not make me look at my side. Gray Moore being vocal with what he felt honestly surprised me. He did not seem like he was acting or faking his concern, but I didn’t want to assume that his worry was goddamn artificial. “You are one of the people who served this company a greater success since you came, Ms. Ambers. I am very grateful you became a part of the Moore Estates. I couldn’t just let you go on with your life without knowing if you’re okay or not,” I heard him
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 43: Maid
SERENA’S POVDamn. This was what I was talking about. How could Gray hear that when I could barely hear what Landon was saying? Damn it! I clenched my fist as I hid it under the table. I then looked turned to Gray—who was looking only at me with a raised brow. I displayed my pearl-white teeth, pretending that nothing was going on.“Oh, I wasn’t talking about you, Mr. Moore. To tell you frankly, you are not the only person that we deal with every day. We have personal lives, too. And, you are not the only person that we know in this room. We could talk about anyone who’s in here right now…” I said, trying not to be sarcastic but still ended up sounding that way. I thought I got it from Landon. “I thought I heard my name, Ms. Ambers. No need to get mad,” Gray answered, withdrawing his curiosity. Well, I guessed that worked. Landon and I almost got caught gossiping about the Moores on the spot and worse, by Gray Moore—the smartest and the only person that had a brain of them all.Gray
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 44: She is Alive!
SERENA’S POV Damn, she knew who I was. Wouldn’t it be strange if I asked her if we had met before while she thought I was Jane Williams-Moore? This maid was probably one of the servants that the Moore family had while I was still living with them. She must have known a lot about me given that we were living in the same house then. “I am Serena Ambers, Ma’am. Nice to meet you…” I stated, my eyes focused on the old maid. I just noticed that she was holding most of Geraldine’s not-so-heavy stuff. There were things that were on the floor when we collided, but the old maid immediately reached for it before Geraldine came. “S-Serena Ambers?” she asked, stuttering and with a knotted forehead. Her eyes marveled at my body from head to toe, almost shedding a tear. She could not help but gasp as the seconds passed and the disbelief still wasn’t leaving her being. Who is this woman? Was she a part of my life before?“Yes, Lucia. Serena Ambers is a different person. She’s not Jane Moore that
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 45: Delusion
GRAY’S POV“What do you mean you saw her here?” I asked, even though I already had an idea that she was talking about Serena. As far as I knew, Lucia had been very close to my wife right after she got hired as one of our maids. “Tch, don’t mind this woman’s delusion, son. She saw Serena Ambers in the hallway and thought that it was Jane. We had the same reactions as her when we first saw that wench at the anniversary celebration. I could not really blame her for assuming that Serena is your ex-wife.” “I don’t think she is a different person, Ma’am. I know who Jane is. She talks and walks like her. She may have a different fashion style, makeup, or hair right now, but I believe it’s her. I have been telling you that Jane is still alive—”“Enough with your delusions, Lucia! That woman is ill-mannered and looks at herself as if she’s someone higher than me. She was the reason why Hazel got fired! Do you really think your Jane acts like that? To hell with that woman!” my mother cut the
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 46: Memory or Dream?
GRAY’S POV Damn. Was I really obvious during the meeting? Even my mom noticed how much I became a fucking attention seeker almost an hour ago. She was watching us closely, she said. I could not come up with what to answer her. She slapped me with the truth, and I did not think I was able to defend myself further after that. “Do you like that woman, Gray? Do you like the woman named Serena Ambers who looks exactly like Jane?” Lucia asked me a few moments later, breaking the silence that I created. My mother and I looked at Lucia simultaneously, having different reactions. I raised a brow, while my mom gave her a look in disbelief. Lucia was only focusing on me, though. She did not even glance at my mother. “What made you ask that, Lucia? You don’t even know Serena…” I answered indirectly. I was not a fool to notice how I was acting these past few days. I knew the difference between being a professional businessman and a man who had an interest in a woman. I wasn’t sure which one I w
The Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 47: Lucia
SERENA’S POVLandon handed me water as I massaged my temple. Well, Lucia was in my dreams, but I was not sure if that dream was actually a memory. How could I be sure if all I knew was I slept in the car?“What did you remember about that woman, Serena? Do you think she’s someone important from your past?” Kaihly asked me, sitting at the edge of the bed.“I actually remember that maid from the Moore’s mansion before. As far as I can remember, Lucia was the only person that had a close bond with Jane. Well, I am not sure, but I have seen Lucia and Jane once talking in the garden, almost hugging each other…” Kelly mentioned all of a sudden. She had been quiet for a while now as if she was trying to remember something. This was the first time that she spoke ever since she went inside my room.Hugging each other? She must be something important from my past. Maybe that was why she also looked familiar to me. She was kind in my dreams, too.Feeling dizzy, I closed my eyes and tried to rec

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
