All Chapters of Miss Gray’s Vengeance : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Ella had lied when she told Eve that it was an emergency. Perhaps it was but she couldn’t care less. She was way too numb to care if their lives were in danger or not or if they were at the bridge of death. She’d also lied when she told Liam that she wouldn’t return to her apartment alone. Truly, she’d wanted to ask Eve to accompany her but it slipped her mind before she could think of it. And so, seated outside the building of her apartment, she couldn’t help but rest her head on the steering wheel, a sigh of exhaustion escaping her lips. Her life was a total mess at the moment and she didn’t know how exactly to fix it. All she knew was that she needed to get out of the god-forsaken body-clinging dress that she wore and get into something comfortable. Raising her head off the wheel, she grabbed her phone and pushed the door open, strolling to the front door of her apartment. As she stepped into her home, she couldn’t help the fear that overshadowed her from the darkness and the sh

The wedding evening was a euphoric bliss of singing, vows, and romance. As Eve stared at the newly wedded couple having their first dance in the middle of the large garden, she couldn’t help the smile that settled on her lips. She was grinning. It reminded her of her wedding with Noah years ago. Up till this day, it still was one of her best days, the talk of the city. She’d been the most happy bride to be getting married to the man of her dreams and while she smiled and celebrated the whole wedding, Noah’s had been irascible all through. Maybe it was one of the reasons why he detested her a lot. It made her laugh. “They look so good together, don’t they?” She had a dreamy look on her face as she spoke. Her dreamy look was replaced with a frown at the total silence that she received as a reply. Her head whipped to the side only to find her husband missing. He’d been standing right beside her a while ago, she thought. Where’d he gone? She stood on her heels to search for Noah and he

“Why can’t I come with you, big sister? I promise I’ll be good.”Ella looked down at the boy beneath her. He fisted her tailored pants with his small fist and looked up at her in pleading glossy eyes. He was way skinnier than the last time she saw him a few months ago. Her younger brother was barely nine years old yet he had to see how fucked up things were with their family. As she stared at his dark wet eyes, she suddenly had the urge to pull him into her embrace and take him away from the toxic household. Fuck, she wanted to do that more than anything. She wanted to take him away and make sure that he lived a better life than she did. But she was in no good position to have him. She didn’t have a good place or a stable job and her mental health was something else. But one day though. One day. She could still remember when the little boy was born nine years ago. Might she add, out of accident? They neglected him. Their parents. And they didn’t care to give him a name or celebrat

The dim morning sun seeping from the windows assaulted Ella’s eyes and pulled her from sleep. Her eyelids slowly fluttered open, a small yawn escaping her lips. She tried to raise her head from the slightly uncomfortable position that she was in only to find a strong force holding her down. She gasped when she fully woke from the daze of sleep, realizing that she was not laying her head on her pillow as she’d imagined but in fact, her head was on a hard surface. Liam’s shoulder. The smell of lavender and mint aftershave assaulted her nose and she felt her heart immediately skip a beat as always. She glanced back at his hand that was around her upper back, keeping her close to him with a blue blanket around them. Slowly and gently, she held his hand and pulled it away from herself before retracting her head off his shoulder. Ella grunted at the pounding headache that hit her when her eyes fell on the dozens of beer cans on the table and floor before them, the memories of the previou

“A truce. We’re done being enemies. Why don’t we be friends and work together?”In Genevieve’s moment of shock, Eve sidestepped her and walked to the table, leaning against it with her hands squeezing together under her breast. She picked up the new nameplate on the table and ran her hand through it. “Pink is quite pretty for you, you know.”Her words made the girl snap out of her daze. She stormed toward Eve and snatched the nameplate from her. “I’m quite particular about my belongings. I suggest that you don’t touch anything here.”“Don’t worry. I won’t steal anything. Like I said, I’m here for peace. I want us to reconcile.”“Reconcile? Don’t be daft. You offended me by stealing my identity. I can never be friends with you.”Eve clicked her tongue severally and pushed away from the table, her eyes on Genevieve. “You know, it’s the opposite. Look around you.” She stretched her hands around the office, Genevieve’s eyes following every move. “Just look around. Everything here is mine
