A three-year prison sentence couldn't break her. A ruthless family couldn't silence her, her boyfriend's betrayal didn't break her. Now she's married to his father, a powerful man who promises to help her reclaim her mother's company. Will Lexi Thompson's quest for revenge destroy everything she's fighting for or will she find justice before it is too late?
View MoreLexi's POV “He is your boyfriend?” Julian asked and I gritted my teeth in anger. By ‘is’ he was indirectly acknowledging that we were still together. “Not at all, Julian. He's my ex. We are no longer together” I answered, my eyes never for once leaving Ethan's face. Ethan's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched. “So, you are the one who has been fucking my father, huh? You are the bitch that my father wants me to meet, huh?” He sneered and I rolled my eyes. “You were so desperate for a man's touch that you had to go after my father. Just how shameless can you be, Lexi? It could have been someone else for heaven's sake” I felt a surge of rage at his words, but I kept my cool. I can't let him know that his words were getting to me. Ethan was a punk and he would be pleased to know that his words were affecting me. I can't give him that satisfaction. “To hell with you, Ethan. You have no right to speak to me like that,” I spat my voice barely audible. “You betrayed me by fucking my
Lexi's POV He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “Yes. I'm sorry for hitting you with my car” he said. I felt a shiver run down my spine at the huskiness of his voice. “It's fine,” I said as I tried to leave the bed, but he pushed me back gently. “You can't leave. The doctor said you need to rest,” He said softly, but I shook my head. “I can't stay here. I have important things to attend to,” I said firmly, but he shook his head. “You have to rest. You have been through hell already,” He said. I couldn't help but feel that he wanted something from me. “What do you want from me?” I asked as I folded my hands across my chest and he chuckled. “You are indeed smart,” he said, as he winked at me. He stood up from where he sat and walked towards the window, with his hands behind his back but he turned to face me. “First things first, we have to introduce ourselves. I am Julian,” “Lexi,” I gave a curt reply. “I know all about you, Lexi,” he said, his eyes glinting wit
Lexi's POV Unable to bear it anymore, I turned and walked away, leaving my family to their mocking laughter. I have a long and difficult road ahead of me, but I was determined to succeed. I wanted to reclaim my mother's company, Eclipse Holdings, and restore it back to its former glory. I would get my mother's properties and I'll clear my name. I'll let everyone know that I wasn't responsible for my mother's death. I'll let everyone know that the real culprits are my father, my step mother and step sister. Before anything else, I got to the bank and withdrew some funds from my account. Claudia and my father have freezed all my accounts, including my mom's own, but little did they know that there was one bank account left. Only my mother and I have access to it. When I was done, I made my way straight to the cab station, ready to go to my mother's company, my heart racing with anticipation. I hadn't set foot in the building since her death and the thought of going back the
Lexis's POV I stumbled out of the house, my heart heavy with the height of Ethan's betrayal. I can't believe that he would do such a thing to me. Moving on so fast and worst of all, with my step sister. I swear, if it were someone else, I wouldn't have been so angry like I am now. I have long expected a lot of things from my family. Even though I was still shocked that my step mother would pay the wardens to kill me, I'm not surprised. She is a cruel woman and she would do anything to get whatever she wants. If she could kill my mother, who was once her best friend, just because she wanted the company, she would do anything. If she could seduce my father and get pregnant for him when my mother was still barren, she would do anything. So I'm not even surprised that she wanted me dead. She wants to wipe me off the face of the earth so that she would keep the company to herself, I guess. But never for once did it cross my mind that Ethan would betray me too. The pain and anger th
Lexie's POV "Alexandra Thompson, you have been granted your freedom." Your appeal has been approved. "From this day forward, you are no longer confined to this cell. You are now a free woman," the warden announced, his voice firm but laced with empathy. All I could do was stare at the middle-aged man in disbelief, my mind racing with his words. “What did you just say, Mr Felix?” I asked in shock. I had to make sure I heard him clearly. “Congratulations, Miss Lexi. Try as much as possible to stay out of trouble, so you don't come back here. You could lose your senses. Stay safe,” He flashed a smile at me before walking away. Goodness! This was finally happening! I've finally been released from this hell hole after three painful years. After what felt like forever, I stood up from the bench as I made my way out of the cold, grey prison walls, feeling the warm sun on my skin for the first time in three years. I took a deep breath, to calm my frazzled nerves. I can't be
