Ex wife’s Revenge Chapter 140
THE PRICE OF SILENCEAaron had always thought silence was some sort of control.Silence in boardrooms was something that made people jittery. It made the other party divulge excessively in negotiations. He had earlier believed that silence was protection and in doing so, he wanted to protect Raina in his marriage not to turn her into the kind of politics that she did not want to be in. He knew how mistaken he was now he sat alone in his office long after night had swallowed the city.Silence was no defense to anything.It only delayed damage.He was at the window looking down the lights below but faintly reflected in the glass. The office which was a kind of continuation of his power was now a cage. All the decisions he had postponed, all meetings that he had evaded were repeated in his mind with savage clarity.He recalled Raina that appeared before him some weeks ago, her head also firm yet hurt, and accusing him of when she ceased to be his partner. He had not answered her then. He

THE FALL BEGINSThe boardroom was colder than usual.Aaron had realised it as soon as he got inside, how the conversation had dropped and the eye contact had changed,gawkingly away. His reflection in the long glass table--tailored suit, controlled expression, composed posture--was nevertheless going on below, and something was wrong. His authority had been so used to him over the years that it no longer rested on his shoulders.Lucas already sat at the head of the table, his fingers crossed, quiet and ready. Evelyn sat on his right, graceful as ever, her pose careless, her features indescribable. The other board members sat down around them with their eyes averted towards Aaron.OK, let's start, said Lucas.Aaron took his seat. Before going into the actual, I want to discuss the rumours that have been going around the house. My leadership is not related to my personal issues.Some members gave a glance at each other.Evelyn threw her head back. Respect, Aaron, this is reality at this

A WOMAN REBUILTThe office was tiny, compared to the glass towers Raina would be strolling up and down on, with her head held high and cameras flashing on her face. The floor was not marble, the elevator was not personal, and the assistants were not standing outside the door. Nothing more than a hired room on the fourth floor of an ageing building, bare desks, a noisy air conditioner, and a sun peeking through semi-open curtains.And yet when Raina was in the centre of it, and she was holding her phone in one hand and a notebook in another, she experienced something which she had not experienced in a long time.Ownership.Now this is ours, she said to herself.Her aide, Lila, her faithful companion even after all had gone wrong, smiled as she put a pile of files in place on the desk. It might not be so much, but it is... sincere.Raina nodded. "Honesty is more than enough."She put aside her bag and got her notebook open. Plans that were in her own handwriting were filling the pages.

DISTANCEThe place was very silent, which Raina was not accustomed to.Not the silence of the Kingston mansion, with its heavy, guarded silence, and its ears to every corner, and its eyes upon every movement, but a more gentle quiet. One that was unconfident, unrecognized and excruciatingly real.Her standing in the little living room with her baby in her arms, and she turned slowly around the room.This was it.White walls. A modest sofa. An upright dining table banged against the wall. The kitchen was hardly larger than a wardrobe, and the door of the bedroom was so thin that one could hear easily.No guards outside. No employees are awaiting orders to be given. None of the cameras is behind rich ornamentation.Just her.And her child.Raina sighed and sank onto the sofa, falling into it as though the strength had at last exhausted her. The infant moved, his small nose scowling, and then he lay down again, cosy and affectionate.Oh yes, we are, she said to herself.Her phone buzzed

WALKING AWAYThe house was still asleep.That was what Raina needed.She slipped slowly through the mansion barefoot on the cold marble. The walls, which seemed big before, were heavy now, as though they were keeping an eye upon her. Each move was a flashback — jokes, midnight conversations, dark promises.She did not cry.Not yet.Raina tapped on the bedroom door. Aaron was lying on the bed, with one side of his back toward her. He had gone to sleep many hours later than their fight, fatigue tugging him down, and her intellect remaining as alert as ever.She stared at him for some time.This did not necessarily have to be so, she said to herself, but knew that he could hear none.She turned away.It was a suitcase that she drew out in the walk-in closet. Just one. She didn't want attention. She didn't want drama. She put clothes in the laundry painfully, taking only what was necessary--easy dresses, infantalia, papers which she had covertly been collecting during the last few days.S

BETRAYAL WITHOUT INFIDELITYIt was not a confrontation initiated by shouting.It began with silence.It was late, past midnight, and Raina was waiting in the living room, and the lights were dimmed, and the house was unusually quiet. The baby was already asleep, her kiss on his forehead was longer than usual, and the promises she had made, she was no longer quite certain that she should keep. With every tick of the clock, something squeezed in her breast.The front door eventually opened, and Aaron walked into the house without much ado, loosening his tie like he was coming back to any normal day. He paused, and there she sat."You're still awake," he said."Yes," Raina replied. Her voice was calm, too calm. "We need to talk."Aaron exhaled slowly. "Can this wait until morning?""No," she said. "It has waited long enough."He dropped his jacket and approached and felt the tension. "What's wrong?"Raina stood up. "I spoke to Margaret today."Aaron froze.That was all it took.His shoul
