“I think the deal is already signed,” Rose said, pushing the pen aside. She had just signed the contract. “Thank you so much, ma. This means a lot to our company, and I promise that we won’t ever give you a reason to regret signing this contract with us,” Mrs. O smiled, her face filled with gratefulness. She was sure to be promoted now that Rose had signed the contract; Derek had promised her a promotion if she could get Rose on their side. “I think that’s all for now,” Rose giggled from her sitting position, letting out a charming smile. “Yes, ma, that is all for you until the contract kicks off,” Mrs. O replied with a bow. “Okay then. I hope to hear from you guys soon,” Rose said, picking her bag and phone from the table and preparing to leave. “You have been so calm throughout the meeting. I hope you are good?” Rose asked, her eyes dancing around Derek, who still seemed lost and lacked an idea of what was happening around him. Derek stared at her for a while before forcing out a reply. “I…am fine,” he stammered. “I…just have a little headache,” he added, shifting uncomfortably on his seat. He stretched out his suit and forced out a smile. “Okay, Mr. Derek. I think you should get some rest then,” Rose giggled. “And yes, extend my greetings to your beautiful wife, Sofia,” she added, but this time with a malicious smile that sent a signal only to Derek. Rose enjoyed his fear and horror, and she felt on top of the game. She walked gingerly towards him, her heels clicking in sync with the floor as she approached him. Her hips swayed to the rhythm of her heels, and her hair bounced to the tone. Getting close enough to the horrified man, she bent to his level, pulled closer to his ear, and whispered, “Tell her that she will receive my present soon.” She withdrew and tapped him on his shoulder. “Have a good day, Mr. Derek,” she added, and walked away. “See you soon, Mrs. O,” she waved at Derek’s secretary and walked away. Derek watched as Rose walked out of the meeting hall, and his head threatened to explode. “I must be dreaming,” he giggled. “I must be dreaming, I must be dreaming,” he stood from his seat with force and stormed out of his office. His secretary and bodyguard watched him in shock as he stormed out of the office. They wondered what was wrong with their boss and the connection he had with that woman. They had watched him act all strange since he saw her, and they could feel the familiar chemistry between the two of them. Derek stormed out of his office with one thing on his mind: to confirm if the woman he had just seen was really Rose. Outside the meeting hall, he scanned the entire building for Rose, and luckily, he saw her almost leaving. Without thinking twice, he rushed to her and grasped her wrist before she could exit. “Wait! Come with me,” he said, holding her palm and dragging her to a secluded area, ignoring the curious glances from onlookers. He didn't care about the number of eyes watching them; the only thing he cared about now was discovering the truth. Upon reaching his destination, he released his grip on Rose. Annoyed by his behavior, Rose slapped him across the face. “Are you mad?” she yelled, her ocean-blue eyes flashing with fury. “How dare you drag me around like I’m some kind of toy?” she added, her eyes still blazing with anger. Derek, undeterred by her reaction, grasped her collar and ripped open her suit. As his gaze fell on the familiar birthmark on her shoulder, his eyes flew open, and he stumbled backward, collapsing to the floor. The birthmark was the only proof he needed to confirm that this woman was indeed Rose. “Satisfied?” Rose threw at him, knowing his intention all along. “You badly wanted to confirm if I am really Rose, your ex-wife, whom you tried to kill, right?” she giggled, bending down to his level. “Well, I am glad you discovered the truth you wanted,” she added, fixing her suit. “Who are you to think that you can get away from me?” she let out a malicious smile that sent chills through Derek’s soul. “You…can’t be alive,” Derek managed to stutter. “I watched you drown, I…” Derek couldn’t finish his statement when Rose slapped him across the cheek. “How dare you say that shamelessly?” she yelled, anger evident in her voice. “Just you wait and watch me chop you bit by bit,” she spat on his face. She bent to his level, cleaned his ear, and whispered into it, “I will make you beg for death, but it will be far-fetched.” She let out a malicious smile. She stood up, dusted her suit, and said her final words, “Be ready for me, Derek.” Saying this, she walked away, leaving Derek to himself. Derek watched as she walked away, and his eyes grew wider with terror. “It really is her,” he whispered. “It really is her, and she’s back for vengeance,” he continued, his voice trembling with fear. “But I can’t let her have her way. I can’t let her expose my secret, I can’t let her ruin my reputation. I have to end her again before she ends me,” he stammered, struggling to pick himself up from the floor. “I have to end her before she ends me,” he blurted, his eyes filled with determination. He wasn’t taking any chances and risking his reputation being stained. It would be the end of him and the reputation he had built over the years. Without thinking twice, he pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed a number. “This will be the beginning of your second fall, Rose,” he said, his voice cold and menacing, as he waited for the call to be picked.

Chapter 137: A Family Dinner 1 month later……“Come on, babe! Aren’t you done yet?” Derek stressed; he was already tired of waiting for Rose. Him and the kids had been waiting for Rose for almost 30 minutes, and she hadn’t descended the stairs yet.“Gosh, mom! We’re going to be late for the outing,” Kendell poured in frustration, and Rose replied from the room where she was still applying makeup. “I’ll be down in a jiffy; I’m just adding finishing touches to my makeup,” she screamed back.“But you said that twenty minutes ago, and you’re still repeating it,” Derek replied. “Yeah, but I’m serious this time around. I’m done,” Rose said, already cracking the door to the room open.“I told you I am done,” she said as soon as she stepped out of the room. Hearing the sound of the door opening and noticing her voice grew nearer was enough to inform them that she had finally stepped out of the room.“Gosh, mom! It took you forever to look this beautiful,” Ken gasped, taking in his mom’s beaut
BACK AS THE BILLIONAIRE NEMESIS (AN EX-WIFE REVENGE) Too hard to believe
Chapter 136: Too Hard to Believe Derek and Rose paced around the Dave’s restlessly; yes, they were still definitely mad at Dave for what he did, but they never wanted any harm to come to him. As they strolled around impatiently, Mr. Reynolds and Sofia could be seen walking into the hospital with worried looks on their faces. Derek had called them earlier to inform them about Dave’s condition.“How is he doing?” Mr. Reynolds asked the couple as soon as he was close enough.“The doctor isn’t out yet; we’re still waiting for him,” Rose replied, as if she had been forced to.“Ouch!” Mr. Reynolds mumbled and sat in a provided seat. “I just hope nothing happens to him,” he said with desperation in his tone.“I might be mad at him for what he did to me, but honestly, the last thing I wanted was for him to end up in that hospital; I never wanted that,” Derek said after a while of pacing around.“You don’t need to worry, son. I believe everything will be alright, so worry not and keep prayin

Chapter 135: Unexpected Turnaround Two months later………“Do we really need to go see that jerk?” Rose said with dissatisfaction as the driver drove her and Derek to the station. “Of course, babe. I’m so desperate to see him, and I just don’t know why,” Derek clarified, but Rose gave a loud hiss. “So you’re suddenly concerned about a man who nearly sent you to an early grave? Absurd!” She folded her hands under her breast and turned away. Of course, that act of hers was to be pampered by her husband.“No, babe, I’m not going there because I care for him. I’m going because I have this great urge to, and furthermore, I really need to clarify something from him,” Derek explained further. “Whatever! Do as you please. What can I even do? It’s not as if you ever listen to me.”“Oh, babe, but I always do. You know you’re my best advisor,” Derek said, tickling Rose, but she remained stern. “If you always listen to me, then why aren’t you listening now? Why are you being really naughty now?”
BACK AS THE BILLIONAIRE NEMESIS (AN EX-WIFE REVENGE) A Special Moment
Chapter 134: A Special moment As Rose waited anxiously in the waiting room, she noticed Sofia and Mr. Reynolds approaching her from the corner of her eye. Immediately, she turned away, attempting to avoid a conversation with them. “Rose, how long will you continue avoiding us? You know this isn’t the right time for this, right? Even if you want to be mad at us, it shouldn’t be now, please,” Sofia said calmly, standing in front of Rose. Mr. Reynolds stood nearby, listening as Sofia spoke.Slowly, Rose lifted her head and stared at Sofia. “I’m not angry at anyone; I’m just in a lot of trouble now,” she replied calmly, turning to face them. “I’m sad that Derek had to go through all of that alone, and that I’ve been blaming him without knowing the reasons behind his actions,” she continued, her voice laced with pain. “I feel terrible for not sharing in his pain or supporting him through his difficult time. I was always quick to blame him without understanding his predicament.”Sofia sa

Chapter 133: The Hidden Truth“Sorry that I had to take that call,” the doctor said, dropping his phone on the table. Earlier on, before Mr. Reynolds could say the things he wanted to, the doctor’s phone rang, alerting him to a call he had to take. “It’s nothing,” Mr. Reynolds said with a calm smile, but beneath his smile, his tension still flickered around. “Thanks for understanding, sir. So, you can start now; I am ready to listen.” The doctor assured with a bright smile, and Mr. Reynolds nodded and shifted uncomfortably on his seat. He stretched his back and cleared his throat before saying his first words, “Well, it’s a long story.” His voice was filled with emotions as he spoke. The doctor and Sofia turned to him with keen attention. Mr. Reynolds gave a sad sigh before he continued, “A long time ago, Derek’s mom died while giving birth to him, thereby leaving him in the care of his dad.”“A year after his mom’s death, I advised his dad to get remarried, seeing how difficult
BACK AS THE BILLIONAIRE NEMESIS (AN EX-WIFE REVENGE) A Call for Alarm
Chapter 132: A Call for AlarmSofia and Mr. Reynolds waited impatiently for the doctor to arrive and give them a report. Derek had been taken to a ward, and now they were made to wait helplessly for the doctor’s arrival. A few minutes later, they saw the doctor coming from afar, and before the man could get closer to them, they rushed to him to inquire how things were going with Derek.“Doctor, how is my son doing?” Mr. Reynolds was the first to speak, and they waited impatiently for the doctor’s response. “Please, can we talk in my office?” the doctor said instead of responding, and Mr. Reynolds and Sofia gave each other a quick glance before they turned back to the doctor.“Ummmm, okay,” Mr. Reynolds responded, and they both followed the doctor to his office. They walked for a while before arriving at the doctor’s office, and upon getting there, he directed them to two seats where they sat before he occupied his. Taking his seat, he cleared his throat before turning to the adults
