LUCAS

I had set up a meeting with Raphael in his house.

It was on a school day, so I knew Clara was not going to be there. I had questions and allegations, and I hoped Raphael was ready for them.

"Lucas. What a pleasure." He smiled widely at me when I stepped into his waiting room, gesturing me further into the house. "Come, come. I have been expecting you."

I said nothing, just walked behind him as we headed to the living room.

He walked with the assistance of a fancy cane, his steps slow and shaky. His hair had all turned white in color, his beards too… but I noticed how fit his body was even with how old he seemed to be. He looked good too, I could imagine how much women liked the idea of being with him when he was younger… only for him to end up single until old age. Sad.

I could not help seeing myself in him, though. It felt like there was no other woman for me besides Clara, and if she had truly given up on me forever, there was every possibility that this could

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   93. THE SENATOR PARTY

    LUCASI didn’t like being paraded. Not at five, and definitely not at my current age.I would certainly prefer following the happenings of Clara's trips with her reluctant updates.Yet here I was—dressed in a black tux, glass of something expensive in my hand, letting my mother drag me by the elbow through a house full of snakes in suits.“Lucas, please,” she whispered through clenched teeth, fake-smiling for someone across the room. “Can you at least look like you're not being forced?”“I am being forced,” I said dryly.Her fingers dug into my sleeve.She smiled wider. Of course, it was all shades of fake. “Senator or not, you’re still my son. Behave like it.”We stopped in front of a cluster of old men. They looked like they would die of unhealthy living anytime soon.“Good evening, gentlemen,” she began. “You all remember my son. Lucas. Newly sworn in.”They all turned to me at once, eyes sharp and weighing. My father stood behind them with his signature proud-but-distant expressio

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   92. WELCOME TO BORA BORA

    CLARA"Oh my God, we are here. Oh God, I'm going to bawl." Nora shrieked, taking out her new iPhone 16 pro I had gotten her some days ago. We both needed to get fire pictures and videos, I could not let these memories go to waste.She started to record, lowering the window on her side as a limo drove us to our hotel. The limo had been waiting for us on arrival, so I knew that was all Lucas.With a stupid smile on my face, I texted him,ME: Thank you.I tucked my phone back into my purse after that and focused on the road."Aren't you going to make videos? I'm doing a vlog." Nora asked me. I stopped to think for a few seconds, then picked up my purse again and took out my phone.Thank goodness I was here with Nora, I would have wasted this trip, not knowing when to make videos. Or just planning to take pictures and videos but ending up not doing it.I made a video then, showing my view of the car—like, right in front of me. The seats were soft and smooth, and everything smelled clean a

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   91. NEW SENATOR!

    CLARAI turned off the TV as soon as the winner of the special election was called, flinging the remote around the corner.I heard dad sigh, and I tried to fix my face. It did not work."Clara… these things happen for a reason. Maybe this part of your plan for revenge did not work, but I am positive the rest of whatever you have planned for him will work out. Fred's company is going so well with you there now. He is planning to sell all his shares to you soon, and you would be the biggest shareholder and new CEO of Lucas's rival company. That is also a big win. Okay?" He tried to pacify me.My first instinct was to shout. Raise my voice as I told him that nothing was okay. That I was already losing my mind with how alone I felt with all this.West gave me another news. Ella had a third building in plans too. Karma didn't do shit! If I had not come back to New York for this revenge, she would have launched these three businesses as an under 30 years old woman, and she would have seen t

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   90. SPOILT GIRLS!

    CLARA I said no to a vacation with Lucas and the first thing he did was take the woman he probably saw as my competition to a date. Ella posted their date all on her page. Videos, pictures. He was even smiling in one of these pictures… smiling! In a picture, his hand was swung around her shoulder and he stared dead into the camera like he was warning other men off her. My teeth was literally rattling in a rage I did not understand, so I threw my phone back on my bed. I needed to calm the fuck down. That man was not even mine… With the thought in mind, I walked over to the spot I had arranged his gifts and considered doing something stupid. Thankfully, my rage was really against losing these gifts, so I just took a deep breath and went to the mirror instead. I arranged my messy bun a bit, then stepped back to really assess my outfit more. I smiled at my reflection and my honey browns smiled with me, practically. I was gaining weight again. I had lost a lot of weight after

    LUCAS"Uh… thank you, I guess. I love the gifts. A lot." The last part of her statement came later, her voice smaller when she said it. Why was I wishing I had gotten her more? I wanted to take a stretch and get her a house, but she would definitely return that, I just knew it."Anything. Anything at all for you, love."There was a loud pause on the other end, and then she spoke again,"I already know who I'm taking." Her voice sounded like she had a smile on her face as she talked.I sat up straight."Who?""Do I have to tell you? Oh! It’s not you, in case that's why you're asking." She said. I literally bit the inside of my cheek, trying to keep the disappointment off my voice. "Okay. Enjoy…""I will." And she ended the call with that. The next morning I had a meeting early, with West.I walked into the lounge five minutes early. West didn’t stand when I walked in, like other intimated partners would. He just raised his eyes from his phone, then nodded at me subtly.I took my se

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   88. THE THOUGHT MATTERS

    CLARAThere was only one man that could cause that kind of reaction with the way he threw money around.Well, not throw… he was one of the most tactical men I knew at least. Just… he had too much money to give out.I still stood over the bag, my hand shaking as I parted it open. Nora had stopped screaming and just sobbed beside me. I could not even start to ask her why the hell she was crying, because to be honest, I was about to cry myself.I loved gifts so much… He knew I did…There was so much money in the bag. Filled the birkin to the brim, in wads of hundred dollar notes.This spelt Lucas Sinclair so bad. A part of me wanted to shut the option down, cracking my brain to think of why he would even offer me gifts right now. But every other part of me strongly believed it was him. "Oh shit. The bag." I slapped my hand over my mouth, recognizing exactly what kind of birkin it was. Nora glanced at me expectantly, waiting for me to continue."It’s limited edition. I saw… I remember se
