DAVINA

Several nights after seeing my supposed dead body in a coffin, already rotting from inside out, I buried myself in work. I extended defense classes, I extended my classes with Mrs. Bailey and spent even more time with the business coach who disliked me so much.

I wasn't interested in anyone liking me anymore. I was only interested in what they had to offer. The knowledge. If I spent my time on trying to make them like me, they would dislike me even more, call me crazy and not worthy, a trait that Adeline had instilled in me.

I saw it, right at the memorial service, as she posed as the good sister, while subtly putting me down. I realized she had done the same with my friends. I would pursue them, want them to keep liking me but they would end up with Adeline instead.

My heart bled that night, when I realized all my efforts were futile because a certain person was busy putting me down and no one cared to tell me.

5am came, Robin was waiting.

I stood up, rigidly. My clothes

  • Disgraced Ex-wife; Reborn With Fire   A Void In The Heart

    DAVINA“Soft launch of the season…” My tongue rolled as I scrolled through the pictures all over the famous news channels. I, with my hand wrapped around Shaw’s arm, glued together like a real couple. The tension between us that night had melted me in his arms, making the pictures come out too good and it was the rave. Unexpectedly, we now had fan girls fanning over us, wanting us to drop more couple content. However, the news would be shocking to them if they ever knew this was just business. After those pictures, Shaw and I had pulled apart but I couldn't deny that there had been a deep absence in my chest, and Shaw’s eyes didn't move away from me that night. Even though he stared at me with hooded eyes, I wasn't swayed. I was dressed as his ex-wife in that moment and I could tell he had fallen all over again. “Are you ready?” The man who had plagued my thoughts came up to me, while I was seated right in the home office. He dropped a folder on the desk, “Shaw Industries is acqu

  • Disgraced Ex-wife; Reborn With Fire   The Capable Woman He Chose

    ADELINEI stepped into the ballroom, my long train of my black dress that accentuated my curves, and supporting my belly dragging behind me. This was another party I was invited to amongst the many that sought my presence. Mrs. Harrison, the organizer immediately carried herself toward me as “Miss Adeline, I’m honored you accepted my invitation.”“How is the baby doing?” Socialites, women of class surrounded me, actively asking about my health. Their happy smiles around me, filled with respect and reverence were what I longed to see. They knew who was in charge. “I heard about your foundation and my husband is willing to donate.”“I’m glad you are taking good care of your family, and Davina’s legacy.”“What can I do?” I smiled as I rubbed my belly. “This is what Davina would want me to do. To keep the family together. It’s a shame she wasn't here to see me give birth to this child. It was her long life dream to have a child through me.”“You are so kind! She must not have felt the

  • Disgraced Ex-wife; Reborn With Fire   Davina Is Ready

    DAVINABang!Bang!!Bang!!!Three punches flew straight at Robin’s face, heavy ones I had dealt him with every fibre of my being. I had locked away all doubts, distractions, and weakness deep inside me, replaced by a coldness and fierceness for success. Maria stood still, shocked, and her mouth gaped open while Robin staggered backward, holding onto his mouth which was swollen on one side. He however regained himself a few seconds later, and he tapped me on my shoulder, “You did well! Congratulations.”A smile spread across my lips, and a deep and quiet but loud satisfaction settled in my chest. But behind that smile were the number of bruises that lined my skin. There were several times I would wake up every morning in pain while I struggled to achieve just one thing. “You can proceed to your next class…”I threw the boxing gloves off me, like they were hot potatoes, and stretched my neck to walk away. Even with the seething pain in my body, my back was straight, ready to go into

  • Disgraced Ex-wife; Reborn With Fire   Nothing Inappropriate Happened

    DAVINAI straightened up almost immediately. No one was going to see me crash out, with tears in my eyes. I didn't let those tears drop, I wiped them off while stalking out of the room in seconds. However, I kept trying to recall how I left my bracelet with him. No matter how deeply I thought about what exactly happened last night, I couldn't. It was too foggy and I had let this particular thing weigh down my mind for the whole day. Grace was waiting as soon as I finished from the shower and this time, thankfully, she gave me a formal-looking dress, unlike the one from last night. By the time I was done, it was 10pm and Nathaniel walked into the house, with his assistant behind him. He had his hands in his pockets, his shoulders accentuated with the suit jacket that hugged him nicely. As he moved closer, I caught a whiff of his cologne, and it immediately jogged a memory inside me. “Mr. Shaw…you smell so divine…” That voice was distant but it was mine, still. His scent had made

  • Disgraced Ex-wife; Reborn With Fire   What Happened Last Night?

    DAVINAMy eyes met the white and well-crafted ceiling of my vast bedroom. It was silent all around me, not the soft music that played in the private room at Cloud Restaurant. And not Mr. Shaw’s voice that hummed all through the room. A gasp escaped my lips as I shot up from the bed, recalling my meeting with him. But then a piercing headache quickly settled in, one that made me groan and bend over in bed. A sinking feeling took over. I was instantly searching and probing deep into my memories. I remembered nothing from the first sip of alcohol I took. Except for a few traces and blurry scenes. I held my face, my fingers shaky as they covered my plump lips. “Ma’am…” Maria walked into the room, with a calm smile. She passed me two hangover pills with a bottle of water and she watched me down everything. “We need to get ready for the day—”“Wait.” I held out my hand to her while wiping my lips. “How…how did I get home last night?” “I…” Maria swallowed, and her face turned red a litt

  • Disgraced Ex-wife; Reborn With Fire   One Night Of Freedom

    NATHANIELDavina’s demand made me take a pause, relaxing in my chair to think. Her eyes were probing, desperate for an answer. She wanted to place herself before brutal situations and see how well she would perform. But I wouldn't give what she wanted, she wasn't ready even though it was a brilliant idea. “Your request is brilliant,” I noted and she smiled but then, I cut that feeling off. “But I cannot grant that until you prove yourself further.”“How?” Her brows knitted, her fists clenched even tighter. “After one week with Professor Wallace, you will take tests, physical, oral, and written. If you score a cumulative score of ninety percent, then we will move on to the next phase. A brutal real-life application of all you have learned.”“What? That’s going to be too intense. It’s not fair.” She rebutted, her lips twisting in displeasure. I smiled inwardly, noting the array of expressions on her face, as this was the first time she ever had to display so many emotions and it was d
