All Chapters of Vengeance of an Ex-wife: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Amanda remembered the proposal like Richard had only proposed yesterday. It was ridiculous, she thought but he made her realize that with him by her side, anything was indeed possible. And the most interesting part was she could fight Keith and his lover heads on.She doubted the proposal, saying that it may cost her more than she can bargain for. No man would make such a gamble without sure returns, and Richard was a businessman after all. He sure would want something in return for his so called kindness. And even if he said sincerely that he just wanted to help and would not ask in return, she was hesitant at first.Yet it turns out that he uses his business minded skills on her so she could say “Yes”. That they should treat anything like a business deal if that’s what her mind will be at ease. And for the “payment”? He could have it after, no definite date.It was a risk, Amanda was well aware of the circumstances of engaging herself with his plans. But it’s her only way. There’s n

“Divorce?” Shaina was confused when she looked back at her. “Did I hear it right?”“You’re already married?”Amanda opened her mouth to her defense but no words came out from it. She wasn’t ashamed of being called a divorcee or that she had been divorce before. But hearing it now, it felt different. It was belittling. It was as if it was her fault for getting married early then forcing her way out with divorce.Maybe the Chairwoman was just naturally curious, but her hormones were ruining her senses making her feel extra sensitive at that moment. Amanda can’t help her eyes as they get watered. She was holding it back, fighting herself not to show any weakness in front of the Chairwoman and most especially to those two at the other side of the table.Amanda didn’t want what Richard was always doing—always saving her even if she didn’t ask for it. It felt like she’s indebted to him. A part of her wanted to stand alone and never used anyone as leverage. And yet it’s the exact opposite of

“How is Uncle Kennedy now?”That question had brought Keith back to his senses. He cleared his throat and focused his attention on the subject matter. He can’t let his mind wander that long. It would probably make the Chairwoman think that he often or not paying attention.“He’s doing fine by now. Although he was hospitalized a few days ago due to a mild stroke and high blood pressure.” he gave the details as brief as possible.Shaina covered her mouth in shock, her eyes widened on her discovery. “Oh my!”“Please tell him that I’ll pay him a visit one of these days,” Shaina asked her butler to note on her tight schedule to squeeze her plan to visit his old man. “I have a lot to say to Uncle Kennedy…”“She’s one of the few individuals I wanted to see since I’m planning on socializing again,” Shaina told them. “I wanted to get back on track, and I wanted to be active again in the business.”Keith nodded, and could only agree with the decision of the Chairwoman of the Ferrer Properties.

Amanda can’t find the words to say to Don Kennedy. She’s beyond surprised to know that even that information that only a few knew already reached him. She wanted to retaliate, felt the need to protect her unborn child from the hands of him and Keith. But Don Kennedy had read her thoughts. He shook his head and told her that he’s no threat at all.“I’ve been living in the world for some time now,” the old man genuinely smiled at her. “I fairly knew how to recognize a woman who had something on her sleeves…”“And growing a baby inside your tummy was definitely changing your body, my child. And with keen eyes like mine, I can only assume and verify that you are pregnant.”Amanda sighed of relief although she felt embarrassed the way she would act after Don Kennedy exposed the truth. The old man had been nothing but good to her, she had treated her life like her real grandfather. When she needed some guidance, aside from her parents, she always asked Don Kennedy for some wisdom. And he ne

It was any other ordinary day for Keith. He went to work earlier that morning to attend the monthly meeting with his executives. They are in the middle of a debate when Alan opens the door and interrupts everything.“Sir, this is something important,” Alan said, he seemed shaken.His forehead creased. “How important is it that you need to interrupt this meeting?”“Can’t that wait later?”“I beg your pardon, Sir, please…” Alan said. Keith sighed and ordered the meeting to be postponed until a much later date.Now that only the two of them were inside the conference room, Keith asked his assistant once again. “I don’t have all the time in the world, Alan—”“Don Kennedy encountered an accident,” his secretary dropped the bomb in front of his face. The gravity of the news had put him into a shock, wasn’t able to move even a bit. Alan must’ve mistook it for him to continue. “He’s been sent to the hospital but the doctors declared him dead upon arrival—”Keith abruptly stood up, putting all
