Kiara's POV

A dull ache spread through my body as I forced my heavy eyelids open. The brightness of the hospital room made me squint, and for a moment, everything was blurry. My head throbbed, my limbs felt weak, and I struggled to move.

“Kiara…”

The familiar voice broke through my haze, filled with so much emotion that it tugged at something deep inside me. Blinking a few times, my vision cleared, and I saw Jamie sitting beside me, her eyes glossy with unshed tears.

“Oh, thank God!” she choked, covering her mouth with one hand. “You scared the hell out of me.”

I tried to speak, but my throat felt too dry. She quickly reached for the cup of water on the bedside table, helping me sit up slightly so I could take a few small sips. The cool liquid soothed my throat, but my body still felt unbearably weak.

“How… How long have I been here?” I managed, my voice barely above a whisper.

“Since last night,” Jamie said, sniffling. “You were unconscious, Kiara.”

I swallowed hard, memories o

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    31: You ruined everything

    Damon’s POVI had been in a hotel room since I left Kiara’s office that day. I didn’t want Sarah to make it any worse, so I texted her that I wouldn’t be home for a few days. I just needed some time alone, to clear my head. What Kiara did never made me love her less, but it rather made me jealous—maybe a little bit or a lot. I couldn’t imagine them working together. I hated him around her and wanted to protect her at all costs.When I found out that Nicholas was the one who saved her when she had an accident, I decided to take the credit because I was jealous again. What if Kiara falls for him again after knowing that? What if she stops loving me because of that jerk?The thoughts were messing with my head. I just couldn’t afford to lose Kiara. She’s been through a whole lot and deserves to be loved the right way. She deserves to be happy. “See you next time Sir,” the receptionist smiled widely as I dropped the room key and checked out. On getting home, Sarah was fixing breakfast a

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    30: Lost friend

    Kiara’s POVThe clinking of cutlery and the gentle hum of the hotel restaurant chatter filled the space. I was seated at a table with Taylor, Simon, and Rosa, and we were having breakfast tacos. I tried to get myself together because I couldn’t afford to let my emotions show. Yesterday, the meeting with Nicholas infuriated me more than I expected. I felt a sting of regret when he asked me why I chose him to work with me. Everything felt overwhelming at that moment, and I managed to regain my composure even though I felt his eyes on me all through the meeting.Nicholas has always been so intelligent, and when I was with him, I would see a lot of investors begging to work with him. Chavez Enterprise was one of the most successful companies in the US. I couldn’t imagine him starting to get wrecked, not even in the slightest way. He had allowed himself to be brainwashed by the woman he called his first love. I’m so certain she must have been a professional gold digger. Well, all I want

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    29: Not this time

    Nicholas’ POV I walked into the meeting room early. It was quiet. I had told Luca to wait for me outside, that I'd handle it all by myself. Rosa was fixing the projector, while two other people were checking some files. After exchanging subtle greetings, I pulled out a chair and sat down, feeling restless for no reason. Kiara was going to be here anytime soon. My fingers drummed on my knee, my jaw clenched as I observed the highlights of the meeting on the projector. Wondering why she had chosen me for this project, I took a deep breath. Then the door opened. She walked in. Kiara. My angel. My heart paused for a second. She looked good. Too good. Drop-dead gorgeous. Oh my… My chest hurt because the woman making her way to her seat was once mine. I noticed her face… It was empty. She didn't smile. I knew she hated to see me, but she didn't even frown. She just acted like I wasn't there.Why did she look so tired? This was something that just anyone could see. I knew her better t

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    28: Before the flight

    Kiara's POV My stomach twisted at the thought that I had lost Damon. I sighed, staring blankly at Jamie as I scratched my head. “Don't overthink it, girl. He loves you. You know that right?” Jamie placed her hand on mine, giving me a reassuring look. Right. I was overthinking again. I never wanted to hurt Damon and wished I had explained everything to him. I pressed my lips together, chuckling slightly as she smiled widely, pulling me into a hug. I needed this. “Thanks, Jamie,” I whispered, closing my eyes as a wave of relief crashed through me. We started to get ready for my three-day trip. She had agreed to stay back at the office, handling things with Collen. Tomorrow was the day I'd have an official business meeting with my ex-husband, Nicholas. An hour later, Jamie went to bed while I sat in the mirror. Taking a deep breath, I thought about my decision. Did I make a mistake bringing Nicholas onboard? I planned to use him to get things done. Damon was the person I love

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    27: Bailed Them

    Kiara’s POVThe air inside the police station was cold and sharp. I wasn't smiling and my stomach twisted at the thought of seeing them. Deep down, no matter how much they hated me, they were still my step-siblings. I walked in, ignoring the stares of some officers who recognized me. I have made the headlines too many times lately. At the front desk, the officer nodded when I mentioned their names. “They're in the back. They've been quiet today,” he said, standing up to lead me in. I scoffed, my heart beating louder than expected. Quiet? That didn't sound like Mandy. As we got closer to the holding cell, I heard her before I saw her. “I can't sleep here again, James. I swear I'll lose my mind. I can't take this anymore!”“Shut up, Mandy,” James replied in his usual cold tone. When they saw me, Mandy jumped to her feet like she'd seen an angel, or a devil. She rushed to the bars, grabbing them as if I were her only hope. “Kiara, please. I'm sorry, okay? I messed up. Just please

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    26: Sweet Acceptance

    Nicholas’ POVThe shrill ringing of my phone pulled me out of sleep, cutting through the quiet morning. I groaned, rubbing my eyes as I reached for it on my nightstand. Luca's name flashed on the screen. I answered, my voice still hoarse from sleep. “What is it, Luca?” “Sir,” Luca's voice held excitement. “We got in. Kiara's company accepted your application.” I sat up abruptly, the drowsiness vanishing instantly. “What?”Kiara had accepted my application? Unbelievable. I hadn't expected it at all. “Yes, sir,” Luca confirmed. “We got the official email this morning.”For a moment, I didn't know how to react. My fingers tightened around the phone as emotions flooded through me. My eyes widened in happiness as I emerged from my bed. I had sent out applications to several companies, expecting rejections or complicated negotiations, but never in my wildest imagination did I think Kiara would approve me. A part of me wanted to believe it was her way of making peace, but I wasn't that
