All Chapters of The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Ava jumped about a foot high, her heart slamming about her rib cage as she looked around quickly. She did not see anyone. Was she going crazy or what? “Oh, God … Jim’s dead and it's all my fault …” The same male voice came again, fainter this time, but still, Ava heard it clearly. Was it possible that one of the bodies in the car was in fact not a body, but that its owner was still alive?“Cold … so cold … Dad … dying … reach …” The voice came yet again. By this time, Ava finally realized what was happening. There was no ghost anywhere around, unlike what she had initially thought, even though she did not believe in ghosts. There was a survivor alright, but he wasn’t in any of the cars, which meant he was somewhere around.And then she saw him! He was lying on the cold ground some distance away, shivering and obviously in serious pain. The ground beneath him was soaked with blood, and his legs … both of them were clearly broken.“Oh my God! Are you okay?” Ava screeched, running up t

As always, each time Derek remembered the past and the fact that he practically owed Ava his life, his heart constricted within him. Ava had saved his life and look how he had repaid her. She deserved to be happy, and if his absence around her would make her happy, then that was what he would give her. He just wished that his heart would stop panting after her, but it seemed like his heart had a mind of its own and was bent on ignoring his wishes. “I see the way you keep looking at that woman and trying to get her attention. I don’t like it at all. Have you forgotten what led you to break up with her in the first place? Also, I have not had the time to inform you, but I did not get the part I hoped for, which means that our deal is off. You might want to stop embarrassing me by panting after her like a dog in heat. How would you feel if I was lusting after every male that passed by in public for everyone to see?” Denise asked Derek, her voice tight and brimming with jealousy and

EIGHT YEARS AGO Ava had always hated hospitals, and it had to do with the fact that she watched her best friend take her last breath in one. Her best friend's face and body were barely recognizable from the impact of the accident that she had been in. The fact that she had nearly watched someone get crushed to death a few hours ago was still causing her to be shaken up, and now, as she sat in the lobby of the hospital in which the man whom she had rescued was admitted hours ago, she shuddered. “He’s in a very critical condition, ma’am. We’ve got him as comfortable as we can, but we don’t hold out much hope that he's going to make it.” A doctor said, jolting Ava out of her reverie. “Oh, thank you, doctor.” “You don’t have to wait anymore, you know. You’ve done your good deed for the day. We’ve reached his family and they're on their way already.” The doctor told her, but Ava did not feel like leaving. She felt a sort of connection to the poor man whose life she had saved that eve

By this time, Derek’s mother and sister had arrived at the hospital and were waiting anxiously with Ava for more news about Derek.There were squeals of delight, and then tears of joy and relief at this announcement. After a few more moments, they were allowed to go inside and see Derek. Ava stood aside, feeling like an interloper, while his mother and sister fussed over him. She was glad that he was alright, but that also meant that her work there was done. She wondered why the thought of that made her feel very sad. The chances were that he didn’t even know her.Nobody acknowledged her presence, so she quietly picked up her bag and was about to leave when Derek’s mother spoke.“Oh, dear me! Where are my manners? Ava, please come here. I want you to officially meet my son, Derek. Derek, this is the lady who saved your life. Aside from that, she has been taking care of you ever since you were admitted here. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her.” Derek’s mother s

The first day of filming was a success, or at least to Ava, it seemed to be. It was surreal to think that five years ago, she had been so jealous of Denise and wished that she could be like her.Now, she could not even see anything remotely attractive or likable about the woman, who always managed to look like she was mad at everyone and everything, and clearly resented Ava.Unfortunately for her though, she had to work to keep her resentment clearly hidden and even do her best to please Ava since Ava was her boss, and watching her try to do this had Ava in stitches.Oh, how the tables had turned. Karma was indeed a bitch. Apparently though, that wasn’t even the end of it because later that day, after a break, Ava went to interview some of the people who had applied for the lesser jobs on the set. There she found the last person she would have expected to see there, in the person of Derek’s sister, Amanda.Just seeing the lady brought back horrible memories to Ava. It had been years s
