The Return of The Scorned Heiress CHAPTER ONE
In a grand style, I arrived in the home of my husband—or should I say, ex husband because our marriage was as good as dead. I ignored the flabbergasted look of his securities and I went straight to the lounge hoping to find him there and I did.I met Gabriel Damasco, my heartless husband having brunch with a familiar woman—something he never did with me.Jessica Ford, his secretary.I knew it! I always knew he had a thing for her, never doubt a woman’s instincts. He was having a secret affair with the pretty brunette in the disguise of office duties. One time, he travelled with her to Tokyo for two weeks and never bothered to call once nor picked my calls. He had always compared me to her, saying I would never be as beautiful or elegant as she was.He would regret his words—I swear on my mother’s grave.“Hello husband.”I said, announcing my arrival.The confused look on their faces slowly turning into great shock was simply refreshing!“Imelda?”Gabriel almost choked.“In fl

I cried quietly in the limo on my way back to my father’s mansion, it’s been five years since I was last there, only my grand mother lived there now, my father passed away the second year of my disappearance and although he wasn’t the best father in the world, the news hit me like a storm.“Hello Grandma.”I said as I stepped into my grandmother’s room. She was a famous business tycoon that retired some years ago but was still highly influential and looked a decade younger. “Rosa?”She gasped, immediately recognizing me. Unlike everyone, she called me Rosa—my mother’s name.“Yes Grandma, it’s me.”I muttered, tearfully as I hugged her.“Oh my Goodness. How come?”She asked, her green eyes filling with tears.“It’s a long story, Grandma.”I said, sitting beside her.“I almost died of worry, child. I thought I would never see you again.”She told me, holding my hands in hers.“I’m here now.”I assured her and her smile brightened my heart.“Have you seen your husband? Did

A week. That was what Easton Grant gave to me to think about his proposal.Why did he want to marry me?He was older than my father and to my knowledge, has been divorced twice. He has been unmarried since fourteen years, why the sudden change?I told my Grand mother about the offer and she insisted the ball was in my court, she also added that such power did not come without sacrifices.Was I really going to do this just to avenge my old self?...I was relaxing by the pool when a convoy of exotic cars arrived in my father’s compound. I took off my sun shades to see properly who the visitor was.Gabriel Damasco.“How dare you, Imelda!?”He growled as soon as he was out of his car and walked angrily to me.He was in one of his expensive Prada business suits—the devil wears Prada and Gabriel Damasco was a handsome Devil at that.“I assume you have received the papers from Hernandez.”I said, casually as I got out of the pool. I was wearing a red bikini that revealed the

My wedding was in a week and was definitely going to be the wedding of the decade! Imelda Del Monte weds Easton Grant.A match made in power.I was picking out a few dresses from a high class designer when I met Gabriel’s younger sister, Janet Damasco entering.“Imelda.”She called, walking towards me. She was pregnant with her third child and despite her beauty and elegance, she was in an abusive arranged marriage.Even if Gabriel had made me feel unworthy of love, he never for once hit me.“Janet.”I called too, straightening to my full height and she took a good look at me.My mind flooded with all the insult and disdain her and her mother showed me while I was still married to Gabriel.“When Gabriel told me of your new self I didn’t dare believe it would be this good.”She scoffed, trying to get on my nerves like she always did.“Yes, unlike that failed boob job your doctor did on you.”I told her with an evil smile.“I hear you’re getting married to an old man, is th

My wedding was as wonderful and luxurious as I wanted, I wasn’t as happy as I was on my first wedding but it was for a greater reason. I was marrying for something tangible not something as useless and painful as unrequited love. Easton and I were greeting our guests and thanking them for coming when I saw Gabriel coming through the small distinguished crowd. My god, he was finely dressed in a dark suit, tall and divine, his black hair was slicked backwards and his jaw freshly shaved, his blue eyes were bluer than ever and there was no man more handsome than he was at that moment. “If it isn’t the bride and groom.” He said to I and my new husband. “What are you doing here?” I snarled, agitated by his presence. “I invited him. We can all still be friends.” Easton said and I saw no sense in that. I wasn’t comfortable with my ex husband at my wedding! “If I may present my gift to the bride.” Gabriel said with a smile and presented to me a small gold box.

I could hardly breathe with how fast my heart was beating in my chest as I stepped on the porch of my new husband. I just cheated. I just cheated on my new husband!What if he knew?This could sabotage my whole plan.Was I really going to let my stupid feelings for Gabriel ruin all my plans? Never!“Imelda.”Easton called as soon as I entered the living room where he sat waiting for me with his phone in his hand. He has been calling.“I uh, went out to see a friend.”I lied, smiling and trying not to give anything away.“And you couldn’t pick up your call?” He asked me as he stood up on his feet. “Why didn’t you tell me, then? If it was just a friend? Why did you have to sneak out?”With each question he asked, I felt like I would have a heart attack.“My phone was on silent and I didn’t want to disturb you. You were already asleep.”I explained to him. He scoffed.“Imelda.”He called and I straightened up in my position. I needed to be calm.“This might be a contract ma

Easton said nothing throughout the ride home and even when got home, he was still quiet. I could tell he was upset, he must be suspicious and jealous about Gabriel and I. I needed to talk to him about it. I needed him to understand I would never betray him… again. “Easton?” I called as we ate dinner in silence.He looked at me. “I would never betray you.” I told him. “How can you promise that? You’re still in love with Damasco, even a blind man can tell.” He said, bitterly. “It doesn’t mean I’ll go back to him. He hurt me.” I said. “If hurt was enough reason to stop loving someone, the world would be filed with hate.” He told me and then continued eating. I had no comeback to that. I stared at myself in the mirror as I did my nightly skin care routine. I had the face and body I always wanted but my heart was heavy. I should be happy, I should be fulfilled but I wasn’t and it felt so frustrating. I needed to get over my feelings for my ex husb
The Return of The Scorned Heiress CHAPTER EIGHT
Gabriel’s mother, Lydia Damasco, was a lot like my grandmother when it came to business strategies but at heart, they were as different as day and night.I remembered the day she called me a troll and unfit for her son, in fact, she had even brought home another woman for her son to marry. It was a horrible day for me, being ridiculed in that manner.Now, she was requesting for my presence in her home, initially, I didn’t want to go but after Gabriel pleaded with me, I decided to use this as an opportunity to redeem my worth.I dressed up for the dinner in an exotic vintage green dress worth millions of dollars, my make up was light and spot on and my hair curly and lush.I drove out in one of Easton’s Exotic cars and mentally rehearsed for the dinner with my ex husband and mother-in-law.“Thank you for coming, sweetheart.”Gabriel tried to kiss me but I dodged it.“I don’t want to give your mother any impression that we still have something so please respect that.”I told him,
