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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   87. GIFTING!

    CLARA"Nope, thanks." I ended the call and threw my phone on the mattress, sighing loudly.I needed to know what actually happened in that meeting. I wanted to get some kind of closure, know if dad was finally out of the Senate seat. I climbed on the bed, picked up my phone again and called dad. He answered my call just like the first time, and just like the first time too, he spoke tiredly,"I don't feel like talking, sweetheart. I will let you know the details when I'm strong enough. Just know that I won't be on seat anymore once everything is finalized…" He trailed off and goosebumps erupted all over my skin. This was actually real. Dad was no longer going to be senator, my plans had crashed to the ground before I even got the chance to properly gloat about it.The line went dead and swallowed a painful lump, pulling my duvet over my body. I didn't know why but it was ten times more official now that I realized the panel had officially expelled my father from seat.Was there a tem

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   86. SENATE CONFERENCE

    LUCASClara insisted on going home right away and I took her back on my way to work. I waited for her to change her mind on our way but she just played with her fingers the whole ride, looking like she had something to say, but holding back from saying it still.I could have said something, tried to check if she would change her mind.. but something kept me from saying the words. Maybe it would take a while for Clara to finally confess the little she felt for he again, but I could manage to wait.Three days later, I was at a conference meeting with the Senate. Raphael was in attendance. He was late, and he looked like he would rather be somewhere else, but he sat there through the entire duration of the conference, paying rapt attention until it was his turn to speak.He told us simply, "There is no need for us to sit long here. I know you all said there will be votes whether or not to expel me from the Senate. Two-third of you all is needed to kick me out of seat, but there is no nee
