Chapter 45: Delusion

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-13 23:32:37

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

    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

    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

    SERENA’S POV The conversation ended when my doctor arrived at our house. Actually, Dr. Howard wasn’t originally my doctor through my whole journey of struggling with amnesia. My doctor lived in California, and the one who was with us right now was the only one of her friends that happened to live in Texas. He was the most trusted one that we could reach for right now. We were lucky that he was available when we called. My siblings and Landon left my room for my check-up and a brief talk with Dr. Howard. He asked me many things about what happened, but as someone who could not even remember if it happened to me… I could only answer a few and most of my answers were unsure, too. “I think what you just had was your memory. You were unconscious when it happened, so you think all of it was just a dream. It’s just strange how can you not be aware of what happened to you when Ms. Rowans told me that you were shouting out of pain when you were in the car,” Dr. Howard explained as he w

    GRAY’S POV“I am sorry, dear, but you know how much I bonded with your wife ever since I became one of your maids. Saying these words to you might make me lose my job, but my disappointment is thicker than my love for your family…” I watched how tears fell from Lucia’s eyes one by one. Seeing Serena for the first time might have triggered something in her. She was still probably grieving, and having to be face-to-face with someone who looked exactly like Jane surely woke up something inside her. Ever since Jane died and Lucia became aware of what was the reason behind it, her treatment toward me had gone cold. You would not see Lucia passing by me without asking how my day was or if something bad happened to my day. But ever since she learned about everything, she would not even glance at me and would only nod whenever I would talk to her. She wasn’t saying anything, but I knew she blamed my family. She was blaming us. She was blaming me. “I understand, Lucia,” I stated in a low to

    AERAH’S POV“Aaaaaaaa! Fuck you, Serena! Fuck you! Why do you keep getting all men in Texas?! Damn!”No matter how many times I refresh Serena Ambers’ comment section, Landon Mitchell’s name would still appear at the top. I had been doing it since yesterday, hoping that something would change and the man of my dreams’ name would disappear. Still, it wasn’t gone. His name and his comment stayed the same as if telling me that I really stood no chance against Serena when it came to Landon’s type.“Minimize your voice, girl. People are staring at you,” Kelsey stated as she rested her face on her palm, almost rolling her eyes at me. Just like me, we were both in a bad mood. I thought I ruined her day, as she would not feel the same way I did if I did not call her to be with me. Kelsey had other plans and I only forced her to listen to my rants that was why she was here.“Do you agree that I am prettier than Serena? That girl didn’t even have my curves! How can Landon call her beautiful wh

    SERENA’S POVWhat? Mr. Moore? Did I hear her right? I could see Miranda trying so hard to block the gate just so the people outside would not see us. Damn, what the hell is he doing here? Kaihly said that it was just Gray’s secretary outside! “She is resting right now, Sir. I don’t think Ms. Ambers would like it if you would go inside without her permission…”What the hell?Irritated, I took a deep breath and cleared my throat, making Miranda look at her back—specifically in my direction. Her eyes immediately widened, seemingly troubled that she saw me here right now.“M-Ms. Ambers…” Miranda called, stuttering. The commotion outside halted. Slowly, I walked toward the gate and stood beside Miranda—where I could see who were the people outside. Gray, standing like a gentleman revealed himself. He was with someone, probably his newly hired secretary. My brow instantly raised. Where did he get the audacity to be here? When did I tell him that he’s allowed to step foot in front of my p

    GRAY’S POVI could feel my blood rushing in my veins as I looked straight at the road. We just fucking left Serena’s residence, and only I could tell how fucking embarrassed I was because of what happened just a while ago.What were you fucking thinking, Gray? You really thought it was a good idea to visit the woman who clearly showed you that she doesn’t like you around? Your mother fucking told you that Serena did not give you a single fuck!“She is only like that when she’s not feeling well, though. We are okay whenever she feels fine,” I talked to myself. I caught my secretary taking a glimpse of me through the rearview mirror. He was probably thinking that I was losing my mind here. Damn, Serena. What the hell are you doing to me?Speaking of her, she still did not look fine. Her bruises were still visible. Actually, that was the first time I got a closer look at those because she always wore blazers and sleeves at the office. I wasn’t aware that Hazel could fucking scratch her

    SERENA’S POVMy brows were almost meeting each other as I went back inside the house. Landon and Miranda were behind my back, and none of them seemed to have the energy to state a word.My heart was still drumming hard. The anxiety and anger were mixing within my chest, unable to tell which one came before everything I felt.That was so freaking close! Gray was not a stupid person to trespass on someone else’s property, but he was also a powerful one to get away with it if he decided to trespass on my house. He was an influential man. If he fucking went inside because Miranda failed to stop him, he would freaking see Kaihly and that would be the end of this freaking revenge. They would know everything with only one glimpse of my sister!“What the hell, Miranda?! How did that man know where we live? Did you freaking tell him? He almost got us! Kaihly, I thought it was only Gray’s secretary that was inside the house? Goddamit!” I exclaimed, my hands slamming the table. Miranda swallowe

    SERENA’S POVIt was another day to be strong again. I had to face the Moores with all these questions in my brain, and it still sucked because again, I could not remember anything. My mother and I had talked before I left the house, and we had agreed that I would not attend the party unless someone asked me that was not her. We just could not reveal that we were mother and daughters that easily. I still refused to have them investigate my mother even though I was sure that none of them knew her as my father’s wife then. Even I wasn’t aware of her existence until three years ago. “What’s the update about Mr. Garcia taking over Mr. Jordan’s share, Miranda? I haven’t talked to Mr. Moore about it. Is there any progress? Has the CEO already scheduled a meeting?” I asked as I sat on my swivel chair, watching Lucia wipe the picture frames—specifically the frames that had my picture in it. She had been doing that for a while now, but I wasn’t saying anything. I liked watching her do things

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
