All Chapters of The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Ava's dad, along with Ava and her sister were in the backyard. Harper was with them, already munching on some food or snack that someone gave her, while still dressed in her school clothes.Just looking at Ava was enough to cause Derek’s heart to start beating. Jeez! He needed to get a grip on himself. What was he? A high school kid with a crush on the cheerleader?He walked over to where Ava's father was by the grill, greeted him, and shook his hand firmly.Ava’s family was clearly not one to hold a grudge because just like her mother had done, her father greeted him as normally as though nothing happened the previous day.Ava also greeted him and smiled at him. However, he couldn’t help but notice that she looked strained, which was not at all the way she usually looked whenever he came around since they became friends again.In fact, after she greeted him, she avoided his gaze altogether and busied herself with doing other things … things that Derek couldn’t help noticing did not a

"I heard that Jerome is dead. I'm guessing you had something to do with it.” Denise said to Amanda, eyeing the other woman.She more or less lived in Amanda’s house nowadays, while she waited for someone to buy her house that was close to Derek’s so that she could have some money.She hated having to be without money … lots of it, to be precise, so she had also put up the luxury cars that she bought from the time she lived with Derek for sale.At least the sale of these items was going to keep her afloat pending when the scandal died down and she was able to start working again or pending when Amanda finally got rid of Derek and she got her share of his money … whichever one came first.“Of course, I had something to do with it. Having money is a really good thing. If you have money, you can do literally anything you want.” Amanda said, puffing up with her own self-importance.Denise took some time to reflect on how life really wasn’t fair at all. She had worked her ass off ever since

Not long after their lengthy man-to-man conversation, Derek and Mr Jones went back into the house because Derek had to prepare to leave.Emily looked at him inquiringly when he came back inside, and he smiled at her to assure her that all was well. He said goodbye to everybody, and finally, Ava got up to see him off to his car."Do you mind if we take a little walk down the street, Ava?" He asked her."Of course not. I don't mind. In fact, a walk will be just great after all that tension." She replied."You thought that there was tension in the house today? In my opinion, it was much better than yesterday.""I guess you're right about that. I hope my dad wasn’t too harsh on you when you guys went to discuss.""No, he wasn't. In fact, he bestowed the privilege of being part of the family upon me, and I feel very honored because your family seems to be really interesting, at least compared to mine, or rather the one I used to have.""That's a good sign then.""He did tell me that he pre

“I thought I already told you that I would have nothing to do with the kid. The only person I'm going to go after is your brother, and maybe I can be persuaded to go after his ex-wife too, but I'm not going to unalive an innocent child." Logan told her, scowling when she mentioned Harper."No one said you had to do anything to her yourself. You can surely hire someone to kill her or something, or if you don't want to do that, you can kidnap her and leave the rest to me. I don't mind doing it myself. You've got another thing coming if you think that Derek won't leave his wealth to her if anything happens to him or that bitch he's so obsessed with. If they're all out of the way, then naturally, since I'm the closest living and only relative, for that matter, I'll get everything." She told him. It was simple common sense.He seemed more grumpy than he usually was, and she wondered what an earth his problem was, but she did not care enough to ask him."Were you fucking that actor guy?" He

They were silent for a few minutes. Harper was already fast asleep because it was past her bedtime already and Derek realized that he should probably leave so that Ava could get some sleep as well."I should probably be leaving now," Derek said, getting up and stretching luxuriously. One day, in the near future, he hoped he wouldn’t have to leave Ava and Harper at the end of the day anymore, but for now, he would do whatever it was that made Ava comfortable and happy.Ava stared at his rippling muscles as he stretched, remembering all too vividly how hard and silky they used to feel under her hands. Damn! This was becoming even more difficult to bear.Shaking herself, she got up with him, so that she could walk him to the door, even though he had come here so many times that there was no need for that anymore and he could see himself out.With each day that passed, she fell more and more in love with Derek. As for him, she couldn’t tell how he felt because he acted the way he normall
