Ex-Wife Transition: The Comeback Of The Hidden Heiress

•CAMILLA• “Alisha.” I was about to get inside my car and drive home when someone called my name. I turned around and looked at the person. “Hi,” I replied, with furrowed brows, because she was wearing big shades that made it difficult for me to see her face. “I wanted to confirm that it was really you,” she smirked as she leaned closer. “You don’t know me, but I’m sure you have an idea now about why I’m here. I don’t even have to say his name.” Then it clicked. Well, I’d be damned. The last time she and I talked was when she called my husband while he was in the shower, and I answered the call. I could recognize her voice since it was a few days ago when she called. “I don’t know you, but if you don’t mind refreshing my memory, you can remind me.” I smiled at her. She narrowed her eyes at me, irritated. “We talked. Three nights ago. Do you remember?” “No, I’m afraid I don’t.” I folded my arms on my chest and looked at her. “My name is Sasha.” “Oh, you’re my husband’s mistr

•CAMILLA•“She pushed me into the pool.”I looked in horror as Lucius took off his jacket, gently helping Sasha to sit down on the floor and covering her shoulders with his jacket.“Did you push her into the pool?” He narrowed his eyes as he leaned toward me, and I stepped back, my heart pounding in my chest.“Answer me!”“I - She,“ I stuttered, barely able to utter a single word as I looked at Sasha, who was smirking at me.It suddenly made sense why she had jumped into the pool. She knew Lucius would believe her if she told him I pushed her into the pool.“What was the plan, Alisha?!” he sneered. “Did you want to kill her? Do you even know that she can’t swim?”“I didn’t do it, Lucius. She -““Are you calling her a liar?” He snarled. “Are you calling me a liar, even after what I saw?”“You must believe me. I didn’t do it,” I cried. “I was barely standing two feet from her when she fell into the pool. This was all her plan, Lucius. She wants you to be angry at me,” I answered as I lo

•CAMILLA•“Camilla?” My brother, Paxton, gasped when he opened the door.“Hey, Pax.”He let me inside the house and then scolded me. “Where have you been all these years? Do you have any idea how worried we were? We couldn’t find you anywhere.”“I’m sorry, Pax. I promise to answer all your questions. Is our father home?”Paxton was about to answer as we walked down the hallway when Cecilia approached.“Well, well, well,” she smirked as she folded her arms across her chest. “Look who we have here. The prodigal daughter finally found her way back home. I was certain that you were dead and buried somewhere we could never find you.”“Hi, Cecilia.” I frowned as I stood in front of her.She was my stepmother and had been married to my father for over 15 years after my mother’s passing. She and I never got along.In fact, Cecilia never liked me from the day she moved in with us. She always preferred my brothers over me, and she was the reason I left home.“Paxton, please tell your father in

•CAMILLA•After the wedding ceremony, I pulled Santino aside in the library and closed the door.“What did you mean, he’s about to sell his company to you?” I whispered, just enough for people not to overhear our conversation.I didn’t want to risk anyone eavesdropping on our conversation, especially Cecilia.“He’s the reason I ran you over that night, so I can’t let him get off easily. This is the only price that he has to pay. You’re going to be in charge of his company.”“Camilla?!” Francesca called down the hallway.I looked at Santino and sighed. “My goodness, this was never part of the plan.”“Don’t worry, you don’t have to thank me now, but so you know, you can thank me properly when that time comes. I can’t resist seduction,” he whispered before he leaned back and smirked, and then opened the door.“Ugh,” I rolled my eyes with a groan.“Oh, you guys were here all along,” Francesca breathed when she saw me approaching behind Santino and closing the door behind me.Santino only s

•CAMILLA•“How dare you, Alisha?!” Olivia roared on the phone. “After everything that my son did for you — picking you up from the damp and bringing you inside our home — you have the guts to send someone to threaten him so that he would sell his company to him?!” she snapped.“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I left your home as you instructed and allowed your son to be with the one he wanted. So, what do you want from me now?”She scoffed. “You’re going to regret this, Alisha. When my son regains all that he has lost, you’re going to come back and beg for his forgiveness. In fact, I give you a week. You’re going to come crawling back on your knees, begging him to take you back in.”“Olivia, tell your son to stop implicating me in his business because I will not take any more insults from either of you, and stop calling this number.”I hung up the call and got rid of the phone since I was no longer using my old identity.I scoffed as I thought of how Santino might have gotten
