Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 110: Backlash
Gina's POVI watched as Elena cleared her throat, squaring her shoulders like I hadn’t just slapped the life out of her a moment ago. Impressive. Most people would’ve cowered by now. But she wasn’t most people. She smirked, brushing imaginary dust off her sleeve before tilting her chin up. "From today onwards, Gina," she said in a sickeningly sweet tone, "you’re going to obey my every word." I scoffed, folding my arms. "Oh? And why would I do that?" "Because," Elena said, her smirk widening, "if you don’t, I’ll expose everything. The world will know exactly what kind of woman you are. Your perfect little image? Gone. Your empire? Crushed. Even the little marriage you think you're proud of? Gone. I can imagine how Sir Alex will react to hearing all the malicious things his angelic wife has done in the name of revenge. And you will have no one to blame but yourself." I clenched my jaw, my nails digging into my palm. She was bluffing. She had to be. Still, I needed to know ex

Gina’s POVI exhaled sharply, my patience wearing thin as the voices around me clashed in another round of petty insults. Julian and Lily were ganging up like the pathetic duo they had always been, and Monica… well, she just stood there, soaking in the drama like a queen presiding over a circus. But then Elena snapped her fingers, and the room fell into silence. "Enough," she said, her voice firm. "We didn’t come here for all this bickering. Let’s get to business." I folded my arms, tilting my head slightly. "Oh? And what business would that be?" Elena smirked. "Simple. First, you’re going to sign a partnership deal with Julian’s company and assist him with funds." A sharp laugh escaped my lips before I could stop it. "Excuse me?" "You heard me." I shook my head in disbelief. "Elena, if this is some kind of joke, I’m not laughing." Elena leaned forward slightly, her eyes gleaming. "It’s not a joke, Gina. It’s a demand. And if you refuse, well… you already know the cons

Gina’s POVBy noon, I stepped back into my office, my heels clicking against the marble floor as I shut the door behind me. I exhaled sharply, rubbing my temples as I thought about everything Elena had told me to do. The walls of my office suddenly felt like they were closing in on me. No matter how powerful I was, how much control I had, Elena always had a way of making me feel like a pawn in a game I no longer knew the rules of. Sighing, I pulled my phone out of my bag and dialed Alex’s number. It rang twice before he answered. "Gina," his voice was cautious, and I knew why. Our last conversation hadn’t ended well. "I’ve made a decision," I said, keeping my tone firm. "I’m going into a partnership with Julian’s company." There was silence on the line. Then Alex let out a breathy chuckle. "Excuse me? I thought you said that company was barely surviving. That it wasn’t worth your time." "I changed my mind." "Why?" His voice lost its amusement. "Gina, what the hell are you

Gina's POV The soft ticking of the clock was the only sound in my office. I sat behind my glass desk, staring at the documents in front of me, but I wasn’t reading them. My mind was elsewhere, my thoughts circling around one unavoidable fact—Julian was coming. For months, he had been trying to force his way into my company, showing up unannounced, waiting for hours, only to leave when I refused to acknowledge him. He wanted to see me. He wanted to confront me. And now, he had found a way in. I took a slow breath and leaned back in my chair, steeling myself. Julian had always been relentless. He wasn’t the type to walk away easily. That was why I had to be stronger than him. A soft knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. “Come in,” I called. Lisa, my secretary, peeked in. “Ma’am, Mr. Julian is here.” I exhaled through my nose. Right on time. “Send him in.” The door swung open, and Julian stepped inside, exuding the same arrogance he always had. His expensive suit

Gina's POV I yanked at my wrist, but Julian’s grip was like iron. His dark eyes blazed with something raw, something possessive that sent a chill up my spine. "You belong to me," he growled, his fingers tightening around my skin. Rage burned through me, but beneath it, an unsettling flicker of something else—something I refused to name. I had spent years breaking free from Julian’s hold, from the chaos he brought into my life. I *would not* let him drag me back. "Let me go," I seethed, my voice low but full of warning. Julian only smirked. "Say it like you mean it, Gina." Before I could shove him away, the office door swung open. Alex. His presence hit the room like a thunderstorm. His sharp blue eyes locked onto Julian’s hand wrapped around my wrist, then flicked up to my face. His expression darkened, and in that moment, I knew—Julian had just made the biggest mistake of his life. Without hesitation, Alex strode forward, his movements precise, controlled, but crackl

Gina's POV The boardroom was silent as we entered, save for the quiet murmurs and shifting of papers. The long, polished mahogany table stretched across the room, occupied by the board members, all of whom turned their attention toward me. Alex took his seat without a word, his posture stiff, his jaw clenched. Julian, despite the blood he had wiped off his face, still carried that smug arrogance as he sat across from me. I could feel the weight of their stares, the unspoken questions lingering in the air. Without hesitation, I stood, smoothing the nonexistent wrinkles on my blazer before clasping my hands in front of me. My face was carefully composed, revealing nothing of the turmoil churning inside me. “Thank you all for coming,” I began, my voice firm. “I’ll get straight to the point. As of today, we are announcing a new partnership between this company and Julian’s firm.” A ripple of reaction swept through the room—muffled whispers, exchanged glances, the sound of a chair

Gina's POVI barely noticed when I stepped through the front door. My mind was a haze, my body heavy with exhaustion. The weight of the day pressed down on me like an anchor, pulling me deeper into despair. My hand trembled as I dropped my purse onto the console table with a dull thud. I stood there for a moment, staring at nothing, trying to steady my breath. “Madam, you’re home,” Lana’s voice cut through the silence, soft and cautious. I turned my head slightly, meeting her worried gaze. “How was the meeting, Madam?” she asked. Something inside me cracked. My throat burned as I tried to swallow the lump forming there. I opened my mouth to speak, but the words caught in my throat. Lana stepped closer. “Madam, are you alright?” A bitter laugh slipped past my lips. Alright? I was anything but alright. “No, Lana… I’m not,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. Her brows furrowed in concern. “What happened?” I shook my head, my vision blurring as hot tears welled

Gina's POV I pressed the button at my headboard to summon Lana in. In two minutes, she knocked and stepped in gingerly.“You sent for me. Do you need anything?” She asked.“Please sit,” I tapped on the edge of the bed for her to sit. I rubbed my temples in utter tiredness.“I've been worried about this whole situation. I can't let Elena do something stupid. At the same time, I can't stand by and watch her destroy what I've built. This isn't what I envisaged. At all…” I started, trailing off as soon my voice got shaky.Lana took my hands in hers, giving it a little squeeze as she smiled.“Don't get all worked up. Everything will be fine in the end. Elena may think she has won, but she is just digging her own grave.” Lana assured.As vague as it sounded, it gave me some kind of relief. Everything would be fine in the end. All I have to do, is wait.I heaved a deep sigh of relief, “help my and draw my bath. I need to have dinner with Alex. He has been worried about me. I can't let him b

Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Epilogue: A New Beginning
Five years later, the estate is no longer just a retreat. It’s a sanctuary—a living, breathing testament to the resilience of love, family, and legacy. As I stand by the grand oak tree in the heart of Seraphina’s Garden, I can hear the laughter of children echoing through the estate. My daughter is among them, her golden curls bouncing with every step as she runs around with her friends, her infectious giggle carrying on the breeze.Seraphina. The little girl who was born during a storm and who now, in the light of day, flourishes as a beacon of joy and hope. She’s everything I ever dreamed of and more. Every day, she reminds me of the strength I had when I thought I had none. And every day, she teaches me that the future is always worth fighting for.I watch as Alex kneels on the grass, helping her with the butterfly she’s carefully cupping in her hands, showing her how to let it go, how to trust the world outside. His love for her is something more than I ever imagined. A father’s l
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 176: Happily Ever After
Gina's POV There’s something sacred about peace—not just the absence of chaos, but the quiet fullness of a life hard-earned. I used to wonder if I would ever know such a feeling. Now, sitting in the sun-drenched solarium with my daughter giggling in my lap and Alex stretched beside us on the chaise, I know I’ve found it.I’ve found home.And it didn’t come wrapped in the perfect package or with a roadmap. It came in storms and secrets, in compromise and conflict, in tear-streaked nights and breathtaking mornings. It came in the arms of a man I never expected to love. And in the eyes of a child who showed me how to live without fear again.That’s why I decided to write it all down.My story.Our story.At first, it started as therapy. I needed a way to untangle the knots left behind by everything that had happened—the contract marriage, Victor’s threats, the courtroom battles, Evelyn’s truth, and the secrets buried deep within the Saxton legacy. But the more I wrote, the more I realiz
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 175: The Wedding
Gina's POV We named her Seraphina.The moment I held her in my arms, I knew there was no other name that could ever fit. She was born from fire and softness, from struggle and grace. And as she blinked up at me with those curious hazel eyes, so much like mine yet startlingly like Alex’s, I felt my heart permanently tether to hers.“Seraphina,” I whispered against her soft cheek, brushing a kiss there. “You’re going to change everything.”****Weeks passed in a blur of midnight feedings, lullabies hummed through tired lips, and soft coos that echoed down the estate’s halls. Alex and I were exhausted, but blissfully so. Our world had narrowed to a singular, perfect focus—her.The estate, once a symbol of looming uncertainty and painful inheritance, had become our sanctuary. But I didn’t want it to be just ours. My grandfather’s name had been dragged through courtrooms and sullied by lies. I wanted something different—a legacy rooted in healing, not conflict.That’s how the idea for the
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 174: Baby Seraphina
Gina's POV The nursery smelled like fresh paint and baby powder, soft sunlight streaming through the white lace curtains that fluttered slightly in the breeze. I sat on the rocking chair near the window, my hand resting over my growing belly, which had become more prominent with each passing week. I was just seven months along, and though I felt constantly tired and achy, I also felt an overwhelming sense of love swelling inside me—more than I thought was humanly possible.Alex had just left for a quick meeting with our lawyer to finalize some estate documents. Evelyn was downstairs preparing her herbal tea mix that she claimed would "bring me peace of mind and smooth sleep," and Lana was folding tiny baby clothes in the corner of the room. It was a quiet morning. Too quiet.I shifted in my seat, rubbing my belly as a sharp ache shot up my spine. I winced but brushed it off. Pregnancy was full of strange sensations—this had to be just one of them. But a few minutes later, the ache r
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 173: It's Over
Gina's POV The courtroom was colder than I remembered, its marble walls echoing the low murmurs of conversation, the clicking of heels, the scratching of pens. I wasn’t physically there—I was still confined to my bed—but through the live stream set up on my bedside table, I watched everything unfold.Alex sat at the front beside our lawyer, composed and confident in his tailored navy suit. Beside him, Evelyn, dignified in a modest beige dress, clutched a worn leather folder tightly in her lap. Her hands trembled slightly, but her eyes held the strength of someone ready to face the ghosts of her past.I pulled the blanket tighter around me, my heart pounding. This was it.“Court is now in session,” the bailiff announced.I gripped the edge of my blanket. This wasn’t just about reclaiming the estate anymore. It was about reclaiming the truth—our family’s truth. It was about protecting our baby’s future from a man who had threatened everything we held dear.Victor sat across the room, a
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 172: The Ruse
Gina's POV The room was silent except for the steady ticking of the antique grandfather clock that stood tall near the window. I lay in bed, propped up with an array of soft pillows, my hands gently resting on my growing belly. The sun had barely risen, but I hadn’t slept. My mind buzzed with anxiety, thoughts turning in endless circles.Alex had been pacing the hallway since dawn, talking to lawyers and strategists, his voice hushed but urgent. I could feel the weight of our reality pressing down harder with each passing day. The threat Victor posed wasn’t just legal anymore—it was dangerous, personal. And with each letter from Evelyn, each scrap of evidence we uncovered, the stakes only grew.I had never imagined a world where my family’s legacy could turn into a battlefield, or where protecting my unborn child would mean playing dangerous games of deception and strategy.When Alex finally stepped into the bedroom, his face was pale but determined. His suit was pressed, his tie per
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 171: Shadows in the Silence
Gina’s POV The morning sunlight filtered gently through the gauzy curtains, wrapping the living room in a soft golden glow. The sound of waves crashing against the distant shoreline was like a lullaby to my anxious heart, and for the first time in days, I allowed myself to relax. I stretched slightly on the couch, my swollen belly cradled by pillows, and let my eyes drift lazily across the pages of the book I was reading.Lana sat just behind me, carefully running a wide-tooth comb through my tangled hair. She was gentle—always had been. Her hands worked through the knots in slow, practiced strokes, humming quietly as she did so. It reminded me of childhood days, when my mother would brush my hair and talk softly about her dreams and regrets. It brought a strange sense of comfort, even amidst the chaos of recent events.“Lana,” I murmured, closing my book and glancing over my shoulder, “would you mind getting me a glass of water?”“Of course,” she replied warmly, setting the comb dow
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 170: Time to Face The Truth
Alex's POV The courthouse smelled of polished wood, nerves, and freshly brewed coffee. A place where truth was supposed to hold weight—but truth, I’ve learned, is fragile in the face of men like Victor Wells.The judge’s voice echoed in the courtroom as the proceedings began, stern and unwavering. I sat at the front bench beside our attorney, Mr. Langdon, a seasoned man with sharp eyes and a mind like steel. Beside Victor, his legal team looked smug—too smug for someone who hadn’t even seen the real documentation yet.Gina should’ve been here with me. She would’ve sat tall and poised, even in fear. But the doctor’s orders had been clear: strict bed rest. No exceptions. Not when her life and our baby’s were on the line.Just the thought of her curled up at home in bed while this circus played out made my jaw tighten. I was here not just as a husband—but as her voice, her shield, her sword.Victor looked every bit the conman he was, wrapped in a tailored gray suit and arrogance. He sat
Gina's Revenge: Return of the Heiress Chapter 169: The Vindicating Truth
Gina's POV “He claims to be Martin’s son,” Evelyn said. “My grandson. Your cousin, Gina.”The room tilted slightly.“Claims? You're not sure?” Alex asked, cutting in.“That’s why he’s claiming the estate,” I said slowly. “Because he believes it’s rightfully his.”“Yes. But he doesn’t know the full truth. He doesn’t know what Wilson planned. And he certainly doesn’t know that I kept every letter. Every piece of proof.”“And yes, I'm not sure”, Evelyn continued, throwing us into further confusion.My son, Martin, never told me about his son. I know he had a child some years back but I never met him. Surprisingly, this Victor Wells, has the resemblance of Martin. I suggest you carry out a DNA test to be sure if he's from our lineage. That will give you all the answers that you need, because if he isn't, a court case wouldn't be necessary.’She slid a box across the table toward me. “It’s all here. Letters, photographs, even legal documents Wilson sent me but never filed. They’ll be enou
