Chapter 5

She laughed out loud in self-mockery, “Haha, what did you just call me? Aria, dear?”

Vera, Talia’s mom, faked a smile as she stared at Aria. She behaved as if she could not see the pain on her face, “You are my darling daughter, so of course, you are dear to me.”

Aria was not in the mood to entertain her hypocrisy. She looked at the woman with her tearful face and asked, “Why did Dad call me back?”

Vera laughed lightly, “How could I know, darling? He hasn’t said anything to me.”

“And what is the meaning of this?” Aria questioned as she pointed at the burner.

“Can’t you read?”

Aria looked at Vera and sneered, “I see, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I can see that you are happy with your daughter being a mistress, and you even look like you are very proud of her.”

Vera’s expression changed when she heard that. Her gentle demur turned ferocious, and she looked like an entirely different person.

“Aria, mind how you talk to your elders.”

Aria did not care. Her voice was

  • Dear Ex, Time For Retribution   chapter 27

    Chapter 27“Boss, Mark is calling, what do I tell him?” Aria texted Damian. Mark had been calling her since morning. It seemed like he was very desperate.“Tell him to come to our company. I will have a meeting with him.”“Okay, boss.” Although Aria did not know what Damian had planned, she trusted him.She called Mark and delivered the message, “Mr. Thompson, I have spoken to the CEO. He has arranged a meeting for you, so you should drop by the company.”“I should come to DHL?” Mark asked in a stunned voice. Did Damian call him to his company to humiliate him?What other choice did he have? His company was already in shambles, and if he delayed any further, he might even be removed as the CEO.Whether Damian humiliated him or not, as long as he was willing to give him a chance, then he would bear with it.“Aria, thank you so much. I will be on my way.”After she hung up the phone, Damian called her, “Come to my office.”“What is it, boss?”“I am planning to make Mark be in charge of

    Chapter 26“What is wrong? Don’t you like the food that I ordered?”“We have been together for three years, and you don’t even know that I am allergic to mangoes?”“What?”“You don’t even know a single dish that I like! Mr. Thompson, kindly, enjoy your dinner. Someone is waiting for me outside. I don’t want to waste too much of their time.”“Who is waiting for you? Aria, are you really seeing someone? Who is it?”“My life has nothing to do with you now. I don’t really have to report to you about every move I make in life, right? Anyway, I will speak with Mr. Hall and I will get back to you.”After she left, Mark lost his appetite. Seeing all the dishes that he had meticulously ordered, he did not feel like anything.Aria was right, they had been together for three years, but he absolutely knew nothing about her. His mind had been focused on Talia all these years, and he had not paid Aria any attention.Right, Aria said that someone was waiting for her. Mark hurriedly followed after Ar

  • Dear Ex, Time For Retribution   chapter 25

    Chapter 25Seeing that Aria had finally shown up, Mark sighed in relief. He thought that she would not come again.He immediately stood up with a smile on his face and welcomed Aria like a gentleman, “Aria, you are here? Quickly come on in and have a seat.”Aria entered the room with her head held high. Her face was calm, and Mark could not detect any emotions from her. She looked at Mark and spoke, “I hope I did not keep you waiting for long.”Mark immediately shook his head, “No… no, I just got here.”“What do you want to say to me? I thought that you made everything pretty clear the last time we met.”“I… I wanted to apologize. Even though we are divorced, it was wrong for me to fire you without any reason. I…”“You don’t have to apologize. What was bound to happen had happened, and there is no turning back time. We should just move on with our lives and forget about each other.”“Aria, can’t you come back to the company? Look, we will give you whatever you want, just come back, pl

  • Dear Ex, Time For Retribution   chapter 24

    Chapter 24Mark’s father, who had been touring the world for over six months, finally landed back in the country.His first stop was the office.“Father, you are here?” Mark welcomed him, although you could tell from his expression that he was not very pleased.“Aren’t you excited to see your old man? Why are you looking at me like that?”Talia walked over and greeted, “Father, you must be tired from the long flight. I have made you coffee, it will help you feel relaxed.”Declan looked at Talia and frowned. Why was she calling him father?Mark noticed the confusion on his father’s face and quickly made a simple introduction, “Father, this is Talia, my soon-to-be wife.”“Hmm, she is the girl you have been talking about?” Declan asked as he looked Talia up and down with a deep gaze.”“Yes.”“So, that means you have already divorced Aria?”“Yes, Dad. We are already divorced.”Declan looked at Talia and spoke, “Give us some privacy. I want to have a word with my son.”Talia looked at Mark

  • Dear Ex, Time For Retribution   chapter 23

    Chapter 23“You said that you had something for me. What is it?”“Here, take a look and sign your name on it.”Aria took the document from Damian. It was a marriage certificate, and Damian had already signed his name on it.“Err, isn’t this done at the civil registry?”Damian looked at her and chuckled, “But you wanted a fake, right?”“Oh, yeah. I almost forgot about it.”“But if you want a real one, I can make some arrangements, and we can head over to the civil registry office.”Aria touched her nose awkwardly. She had no plans of getting married again in this lifetime, so that was why she had suggested they get a fake marriage certificate. She did not want to entangle herself in another web of emotional destruction.She quickly signed her name and handed the document back to Damian. “I hope that we will get this done as soon as possible.”…Mark waited until 2 P.M.When he realized that he had probably been stood up, he was so angry that he ended up breaking everything on the table

  • Dear Ex, Time For Retribution   chapter 22

    Chapter 22Since Aria was no longer going to the office, she put on comfortable home clothes and headed to the kitchen. It had been a while since she cooked, and she missed the smell of the kitchen.Damian seemed to be a very private person, as there were not many servants in the house.She had only seen one auntie who came every day to clean the house and cook for them.Aria also loved that kind of life. She was not used to people being all over her place and invading her privacy.After she got married to Mark, she insisted that she did not need servants. They had only employed a cleaning lady, who came to clean the house. As for everything else, like cooking and laundry, she did it all on her own.Well, since she loved Mark so much, she wanted to be the one to personally take care of him, but alas, that had not been enough to keep the man.Aria shook her head to remove the unnecessary thoughts from her mind. Since she was free, she was going to make some delicious soup and a few dis
