Chapter 8: Dinner at the Moore’s Mansion

last update Last Updated: 2024-08-12 17:05:56

GRAY’S POV

“What?” I muttered under my breath. Aerah laughed sarcastically.

“You think I’m a fool, my younger brother? Why do you keep defending that woman, by the way? She resembles your wife almost perfectly. Is that the reason why?”

With my forehead knotted, my brow almost met as I shot my sister dagger looks.

“You are out of your mind, Aerah. Will you please just let me run this company properly? Even if Ms. Ambers is Jane or not, we cannot deny that she really put fortune and even helped the company’s growth! We can’t just kick her out!”

“Ah, so you’ll let that bitch wander around our place as if she didn’t have a past with us? With you? My dear brother, are you really becoming a fool?”

Oh, damn. Can she not understand me? She seemed to forget how the board reacted when Ms. Ambers said she would pull out her shares. With her influence, our investors might pull out their shares, too.

“We can investigate about Ms. Ambers to know who she really is. I-I am sure your family is p

    KELLY'S POV All of us turned our eyes towards Gray's secretary. I was confident that we had hidden Jane's identity excellently, but hearing Hazel say that she found something about my sister made my heart drum bizarrely. “You found out something? Didn't we just talk about investigating her this afternoon? How can you find something about her that fast?”Aerah questioned, raising her brow. What the hell does she know about my sister? “Didn't I tell you to get out of our family matters, Ms. Brown? In which part of what I told you was unclear?”Gray eyed his secretary with pure judgment. I knew where was this going. I had heard that Geraldine Moore favored this girl so much that even if Gray was the one who was talking, that old hag would defend this woman. “Let her, son. At least we already have information about that strange woman...”As I was expected. Geraldine would favor this girl with her life.“I already started knowing who she was even before I suggested it. I have known Ms.

I cannot believe you!”My arms were crossed against my chest as I listened to the noise inside my ex-husband’s office. Miranda was beside me as we waited for Aerah to come out so we could come inside.“She hates you so bad, Ms. Ambers…” Miranda commented, her mouth slightly parted. I let out a chuckle and shook my head. Gray called for a meeting this morning to announce my stay in the Moore Estates. Since Mr. Baker, the former vice president of the company was already dead and his shares were now successfully transferred to me, the board had decided for me to take over his position, too.Aerah wasn’t part of the board members, but news flocked really fast and when she heard about my position in the company, her mind went haywire and now she was in Gray’s office, disturbing his dearest brother.“Can’t you understand that that woman’s dangerous?! Who knows if she’s planning something

    SERENA’S POV“Ms. Moore… What brought you here?” I asked, turning to see her. Aerah’s arms were crossed against her chest as she rolled her eyes at me.“You dare to ask me that? Of course, my family owns this company! What kind of question is that Ms. Ambers?” she replied, emphasizing my surname to mock. I knew where this was going. Aerah used to bully me before, but because I respected Gray and his family a lot, I never talked back nor did something that would make them hate me more.For sure, she would do the same thing that she did years ago. She was just unfortunate because I came back here prepared for that.“You work here now? As what? As…”My eyes marveled all over her torso, only stopping when my eyes marked the ID she wore. A grin erupted from my list.“An intern? I thought you owned this company. How come you belonged to the employees who had the lowest pay? Does the company even pay you?” I could remember Aerah not being interested in business before, that was why Gray wa

    GRAY’S POVI spent most of my time in the office just like I always did since then. It was already dark when I left the Moore Estates’ building and headed to the address Marco sent me. “It’s been a long time, dude! How the fuck can you spend your days caging yourself in your office?” Marco greeted me, handing me a glass of alcohol. The bastard did not even offer me a seat first. Three of us were inside the private room of Marco’s newly opened club. Marco and Kole, my friends, came from a well-known family, too. Both of them had established their name in the business industry, so it was rare for us to meet during weekdays due to hectic schedules. Marco had set this meeting randomly for an unknown reason. “You really got connections, huh? I saw a lot of people on my way here. I remember most of their faces but not their names,” Kole commented, the corner of his lips turning up as he looked at our friend, Marco. I sat on the couch and put the alcohol glass on the table. I was not in

    KELLY’S POVHolding a newly released magazine from my favorite fashion brand, I pretended to not see Aerah walking toward our table. Aerah seemed to have finished her work at the Moore Estates just now, as she was thirty minutes late on our so-called girls’ night.“Girls! I have missed you guys!” she screamed, making the girls on the table look at her—except me. We were currently in a bar where we were supposed to have our fun tonight. Tsh. Fun, my ass. I would not even be here if it weren’t for Jane’s request. She told me that I should come to gather information even though I already said no to Aerah.“Oh, Aerah! We have missed you, too! You seemed to be so busy with work? You did not even bother to come with us when we had our Paris trip!” Jessica said, kissing Gray’s sister on the cheek. Jessica and Alma, Aerah’s friends in college had been with me for almost an hour now. We were not close, so I did not bother talking to them when Aerah still hadn’t arrived.Aerah sat beside me a

    SERENA’S POV“Oh my gosh, Kaihly. What have you done?” Kelly asked with wide eyes, her body relaxed in satisfaction. I was holding the remote as we watched the news that contained Aerah’s face. I only planned about embarrassing that woman two days ago, and now everyone was hating her due to her issues. “I did what you guys wanted to happen,” Kaihly answered, making me grin in silence. I wondered what was currently happening in that family. Did Aerah already know what her own medicine tasted like? I guessed so. I was expecting only Aerah’s governor issue to come out, not all of these. But I guessed these were better than what I was planning. She dared to call me a whore when she was the one who like different men everyday.“Aerah kept calling me since last night. She was asking for a goddamn help to get her out of this. I have been telling her fake reassurances.” “Wouldn’t that woman suspect you for only giving her useless words, Kel? A real friend should be a help.”While I listen

    SERENA’S POV Hazel Brown guided me inside the conference room silently. I was behind her, watching her take her every step. My chest felt like clenching every time I would see this woman. I understood that she was the woman that Gray had an affair with years ago, but what more did she have to do with my life aside from that? Her presence always wanted me to throw up.The conference room was close to being empty when we entered it. Gray wasn’t there, and only two of the board members were present, both of them talking to each other. When they saw me, they immediately stood up and nodded their heads. I did the same to show respect.“Mr. Moore would be here anytime soon,” Hazel announced, checking the time on her wristwatch. Miranda sat beside me while we waited for the CEO to arrive. “Where are the others?” I whispered to my secretary. I thought this was a meeting. I was expecting everyone to be here given that the agenda contained important things to talk about. “This meeting is sud

    SERENA’S POV “Look, Gray is on the TV!” I put down the newspaper I held and turned to face the television. The mention of that man’s name would never fail to make me turn around to see what was happening. I did not care about him, but I was interested in what he had been up to these past few days. “That’s an unexpected interview. Mr. Moore did not seem to expect the reporters to flock around him,” Miranda commented as she sat beside me, her attention was stolen by my ex-husband, too.She was right. Gray Moore was being interviewed by tens of people outside the Moore Estates building. And by the sharp stares he was sending toward the reporters, it was obvious that those reporters were not anticipated. Hazel was beside him, too, doing her best to make the reporters go away.Gray’s bodyguards were having a hard time handling the situation, as the reporters would not leave Gray’s way if the man would not answer their questions. A smirk emerged from my lips. Gray Moore looked so helples

    SERENA’S POVI spent my days learning how to manage my time well and almost completely forgetting that my ex-husband learned that I was his ex-wife. I always woke up with a feeling my identity was revealed in public, but days had passed and I still lived the same life as Serena Ambers. Paperworks, office, meetings, and the investigation. I hadn’t even heard the name of Gray’s family for a while now. They were not bothering me at all.Even Gray. Surprisingly, he was not the person that I expected him to be after learning my identity. I thought he would tail me from time to time, asking questions that I would never give him the answer. He was always far away or he had a distance from me whenever we would see each other, but no matter what distance, he would always be there. I couldn’t even remember a single time that I was going out of my office and I didn’t see him. That was just too impossible now. He would be wherever I went to.I couldn’t tell him to fuck off and mind his own busin

    GRAY’S POVI had completely forgotten that there was an ongoing project proposed by my wife because of what was happening. I stared at how Jane’s emotions changed quickly when one of the employees stated the information about Hazel Brown. She didn’t seem to care at first, but now that she heard it, one of her brows rose.“Why are you saying that to me? You must tell that to Mr. Moore because he is the one who’s gonna be with the girl. I am out of their business…” she answered, shaking her head lightly.I did not react, but her indifference was like a knife in my chest. Now that I knew the truth, the difference she had from before was really obvious. She rarely smiled and always rolled her eyes at people. The old Jane would never do that. She would cry for being so guilty if she ever became mean.It didn’t matter. I liked both versions of her. “Mr. Moore, Ms. Ambers is gone. Do you still need something?” I didn’t know how long I stared at where Jane stood even after she left, as I o

    SERENA’S POVIt wasn’t new that I would go to work with a bunch of bodyguards tailing me as if someone would attack me anytime, but the employees of the Moore Estates never got tired of gossiping about it whenever they would see me pass by.I was expecting news and articles coming out today that revealed who I truly was, but I woke up with nothing but a notification about one of my acquaintances back home celebrating her birthday today. The morning was quiet, and only the murmurs of the employees were the things that I could hear. It was almost inaudible, too, making me feel pure confusion. What the hell is happening? I thought Gray would reveal the things about me today. That was what we were expecting. Aerah and Geraldine Moore didn’t welcome me with their bullying, too. It seemed like a peaceful day for someone like me who got her life played by destiny yesterday.“Nice to see you again, beautiful woman…”I only halted spacing out when I came across one of the men who had been run

    SERENA’S POVI ended up going outside and letting Kelly stay inside the house, asking her to notify security that Gray did something magical again that he was able to get in front of our house without notifying us.I took a deep breath as I followed one of our maids, unsure of what to tell him once he opened the topic of me, being his wife whom he thought died years ago.I had my face emotionless when I saw him get alarmed by my presence, immediately walking toward me as soon as he saw me get outside.“What are you doing here? Who allowed you to be here?” I asked, not giving him time to talk first. As much as I could, I did not want to talk about what happened earlier. I wasn’t even sure if I was ready to open that topic. I wasn’t sure if I could already say the right words now.“Jane…”I tried hard not to fucking react even though I could already feel that this night would be hell for me again. My temples were already tingling, and I was already anticipating a fresh set of fucking me

    SERENA’S POV“What the hell? You did not even deny anything, Landon? Huh? What the hell is going on with you? You really slapped Gray with the truth that Serena is Jane? Are you fucking kidding me?” Kelly couldn’t bring herself to calm down right after Landon told him everything that happened in the Moore Estates. We were complete in the lounge area. Caden and Kaihly were sitting next to each other, both of them stopping what they were doing. My mother was just sitting two seats away from them, silent as she drank from her wine glass. I was silent, too, while Landon was trying to calm my sister down. He wasn’t doing well. One more stupid thing that he would say and Kelly would throw things at him. We were both at fault for being so careless, but Landon, not making a story to cover the truth just ended all of us. “Enough, Kelly. There’s no use in being mad right now. We are now caught and the secret has been revealed. There is no going back now—” “It is so easy to say that but what

    GRAY’S POV Hearing Serena’s conversation with Landon made me fucking freeze on the ground. What the hell is this bastard talking about? What does he mean by my sister abusing Serena when Serena was still living with us? “What the hell is going on? Is it fucking true, Serena? Jane?” I asked, trying to fucking confirm what was running in my mind. Do I even need a confirmation? It came from their mouths. I was not dumb to not think that they were talking about Jane, my ex-wife. I walked toward them without breaking eye contact with my wife. The terror in her eyes just confirmed that everything that bastard said was true. “G-Gray?” Jane called me, her voice shaking. I stared at her intently. Is she really my wife? I fucking had no idea where to start. She had been staying with us for the past months now, pretending to be a different person. Pretending to be someone far from Jane. I had my answer about who she really was, but everything wasn’t clicking yet. The pieces that I was tr

    SERENA’S POVI immediately pulled away from Gray’s kiss when the door barged open, revealing the one and only Aerah Celine Moore, who I thought was getting stopped by my secretary to go in.Miranda failed, though. She could only hold her arm to prevent her from attacking me.“Let go of me, you bitch! I need to talk to your shitty boss right now and show her who am I!”What I did here with Gray hadn’t even gone inside my head completely, yet I was about to face another chaos from a Moore again. I secretly fixed my messed up clothes to not raise another issue.I turned my body to see Aerah completely, my chin up as I faked my confidence. I was a fucking slut after letting that bastard kiss me. How can I fucking do that?“What is your problem with me this time, Aerah? Long time no see. I wonder what made you go here this early?” I started, crossing my arms against my chest. I signaled Miranda to let the woman do what she wanted, and I got a sigh as her response as she let Gray’s sister l

    SERENA’S POVMy head was aching so badly. I woke up in my bedroom, all the lights were dimmed except for the lamp beside my bed.Everything seemed to be adding up right now. Charles was telling me that Gray was cheating on me in my memory, but I did not believe him. Is that the reason why Gray was telling me to stay away from him? He was the one who ruined Gray and I’s marriage, according to my ex-husband.I caressed my head and rested my back on the headboard. I felt like I was close to knowing the truth. Lucia told everything she knew to Kaihly and Caden, except the part where she couldn’t tell me about my memories because I couldn’t handle anything. My doctor told us that we should let it go back naturally or I would shit myself again.I agreed. The pain when my memory would be back without force was almost absent whenever it happened.For sure, Miranda told them about Charles already. I wouldn’t be surprised if I went outside and they already had the information about the man.The

    SERENA’S POV— Jane’s Memory —“Oh gosh, Charles. Why are you even telling me this? Gray is always busy and he would never have the time to screw other girls. He couldn’t even go home to our house because of his hectic schedule…”I found it ridiculous to think that Gray would have all the time in his world to have another woman aside from me. Since his father died, he barely went home because of the workload that his father left him in the company. I understood him, and I sometimes pitied him because all I saw was a man who was tired of dealing with so much stuff.I couldn’t do that. I would die first if my father died and left all the stress that he was enduring to me. He didn’t train me for that, unlike Gray who had been doing things in their company since he got married to me.“Oh goodness, Jane. Why are you even asking for my help if you won’t believe me? You said to spy on your husband, right? I am just telling you what I know,” Charles defended, drinking the alcohol he ordered.
