The Ex-Wife's Revenge 85: Was it Gray?
SERENA’S POV Gray was a great boss here, according to the employees I had talked to then, but I had no idea what he was like toward his servants in his house right now. I could recall that he was just fine to them when we were still married. He paid well and never mistreated the people who worked for his family. He often gave benefits, so whenever they would post for a job hiring, anyone would kill for a spot. I did not know about it now, though. Given that Gray did not even know that Lucia was not working for them anymore, that only proved that he had no interest in knowing what had been going on in his house. Unless the information was intentionally hidden from him, that would be a different story. “I am here to apply for a job, and Gray would automatically know that something happened in his house. I am just not sure whether my application would reach him. He’s the highest person in this company, and I am just an old woman who is already weak. I would not be surprised if my appl

SERENA’S POVI pulled my shit together, taking a deep breath. I changed my mind. I wouldn’t go home right away just because of that information. Facing Gray right after learning that from Lucia would be the best thing that I should do. I wanted to see how fake he could be. Acting like he freaking liked me after trying to kill the person I used to be.Miranda was silent as she followed me to go somewhere. I had decided to go to the HR first before going back upstairs. I at least needed to help that woman get hired here. I would make sure that she would not be working much, though. Light tasks, a lot of rest, and a day off would do. I would compensate for the good pay that she needed if ever the company would pay her less.“Good afternoon. I need Lucia Davis’ application form,” I started, ignoring a few gasps from the employees who just saw me enter their workplace for the first time. I had never visited this area, so I understood where they were coming from.It was funny how they beca

SERENA’S POVI was right. The moment I entered my office, I found Gray sitting on the visitor’s chair in front of my table. I had no idea how long he had been here, but I was sure that he had been waiting for me for quite some time now.He did not follow me when I left him with the model. The model did, though, so I guessed they were not really together while I was eating.Looking at the man in my office, I recalled what Lucia told me. My heart started to feel heavier as I went toward him without stating a word.Should I show him the fake jealousy I was feeling? I was not in the mood the last time I talked to him in the hallway. “What’s the purpose of your visit, Mr. Moore? I am sure that you won’t have any problems with the papers that I passed. What is it this time?”I sat on my swivel chair, passing by him without even stopping to flirt and offer seduction—which was my original plan but changed because of what happened earlier.“I am gonna explain myself. I know you’re thinking th
Last Updated : 2024-12-16The Ex-Wife's Revenge 88: Believe Them? Not That Fast
GRAY’S POV I treasured my relationship with my mother even though she was sometimes suffocating, but this was what I hated the most. Whenever she did things behind my back. I had told her so many times that she could not fire anyone in my house without telling me. I had not even talked to Lucia for days now, and this was what Serena would tell me.I entered my mother’s mansion in haste. My jaw tightened as I tried to loosen my necktie. I bought this house as a gift to her for her birthday last year. They recently moved here and left Jane and I’s house because of the location.“Good evening, M—” “Where’s my mother?” I interrupted the maid, not wasting any time. I had been wanting to go here since Serena told me what my mother did to Lucia, but I had to be in a meeting so I did not get to drive here earlier. The maid I hadn’t met since they moved here stood straight when she met my sharp gaze. “T-They are in the common room, Mr. Moore. Do you want me to tell them of your arrival? Mrs
Last Updated : 2024-12-17The Ex-Wife's Revenge 89: They Were Right
GRAY’S POV Being in the same house with them made me suffocate all the time, so I didn’t stay long and left them immediately. It was somehow strange for me because my mother was silent the whole time I was there and only letting Aerah speak up for her. If what they said was true, which I still doubted, then I thought Lucia and I had to talk and settle things. I needed to know what truly happened. I called the HR manager to ask if Lucia was really applying, and the woman confirmed that it was real. Lucia’s application confused me so much, too. If she really did something to my mom that she knew would result in her being fired, then she should not have done it in the first place. She would be scared to step foot in the property we owned because my mother could file a case against her at any time. I would not let that happen, though. Sending Lucia to jail would not be the solution. I had to wait for the next morning to come before I could talk to the woman. She was applying for a job

SERENA’S POV“Where is her daughter, then? How the hell could that woman leave her mother with her two children? Maybe that’s why Lucia doesn’t want to leave her job at the Moores. She’s feeding two children with her salary,” Kelly stated as she looked at the printed file that Caden gave us. Caden’s tandem with Kaihly seemed to be working. I asked about Lucia’s background last night, including her family and other connections, and they both worked for it in one night. Now, I already had the results in my hand. They woke me up with a folder with her life story. “Sarah Davis left and went with her new boyfriend, leaving the two children to Lucia Davis. They are currently living in Washington. Sarah works as a waitress in a restaurant that her boyfriend owns,” Caden added casually. Just like what I said, I asked Caden and Kaihly to know about Lucia’s family and her connections. That explained why Lucia still applied for jobs even though she should have been retiring already.She reall

SERENA’S POVI could see the fire in Gray’s eyes as he felt my touch on his thigh. I smiled in my mind, realizing how the slightest thing that I did affected him so much.His head got closer to mine, and right there I knew I should stop what I was doing. I did not want him to kiss me. I did not think I would go that far right now.Our eye contact remained intense, but it broke when I turned my head away, releasing a heavy sigh as if I were the most problematic person in this room.“What’s wrong?” the bastard asked, searching for my eyes. I shook my head and looked at him with worry.“You know what? I really could not help but worry about Lucia when I saw her yesterday. She told me she needed a job. Are you gonna accept her? I don’t know why was she fired but I really have a soft heart with old people. I don’t want her to work but it seems like she really needed the job. Are you gonna hire her here?” I stated, placing my hand on his.My worry about the old woman was true, but I asked h
Last Updated : 2024-12-19The Ex-Wife's Revenge 92: Culprit
SERENA’S POVMiranda was more than fine knowing that there would be another person working the office aside from the both of us. I believed Lucia wasn’t so sensitive to people, so I guessed she would just be fine spending most of her hours with us. I reminded Miranda a hundred times to not mention anything about my past and what was our plan, as Lucia did not know who I truly was. I hoped she would be alright seeing me every day. As much as I could, I did not want her to be emotional. It might trigger me. “Ms. Ambers, Madame Valeria Ambers wants to talk to you. She asked me to remind you to call her once you come back here. I think she has something to discuss with you, Ma’am,” Miranda announced, breaking the silence in the office.I ceased from signing the papers that Gray sent here. Silently, I dialed my mom’s phone number on my phone, not expecting that she would answer it on the first ring. She did. Isn’t she busy right now? “Mom, what’s up?”“Remember what we have talked abou

The Ex-Wife's Revenge 102: Geraldine’s Birthday
SERENA’S POVI went back to my office with a knotted forehead. I had to be professional and not let my personal emotions take over me. I sat down on my swivel chair aggressively, only to stop myself from complaining about what happened in Gray’s office when I saw a gold envelope on my table. I took it without hesitation, opened it, and read what was inside.“Who put this here?” I asked, my eyes focused on what was written on the material.An invitation to attend Geraldine Moore’s 50th birthday?Oh, I did not know that the wench would like to see me on her birthday. Damn, we made the right choice of not adding me as my mother’s plus-one. Is she really the one who invited me or not? I could not bring myself to believe that she wanted my presence on her special day.“Oh, Mr. Moore’s secretary passed by here to give us that. He said that all of the board members were invited to attend the party. A plus one is even allowed, according to him.”Oh…That was what I thought. The old woman did
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 101: Cutting Ties
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 100: Is She Heartbroken?
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.
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 99: Caden and Kaihly
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 98: Am I Not in Love With Her?
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 97: Is He Going to Avoid me?
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 95: Interested in Me?
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
The Ex-Wife's Revenge 94: Should I Stop?
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
