KENDRICK’S POV

"Did you just call me old?"

The words exploded out of me before I could stop them.

My fingers curled so tight into the edge of the table I was half-convinced I’d leave splinters in the wood.

My pulse pounded in my temples, hot and blinding, and for a moment, all I could see was red. I wanted to cross the room, rip him off her lap, and remind everyone in this damn house exactly who she belonged to.

But I didn’t move.

I stayed rooted to my chair, locked in place by some last shred of self-control, even as every muscle in my body screamed at me to act.

He didn’t even flinch. Just looked at me—wide-eyed, calm, and completely unbothered. Like I was the child in the room.

“Uncle,” he said slowly, like I needed help understanding, “you’re being loud. I don't think Pretty lady doesn’t like loud.”

Becca tried to hold it in. Really, she did. But that laugh—it slipped out, soft and sweet, like a knife straight to my ribs. She turned her head, biting her lip, pretending it was

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Rebecca, I'm Coming For You

    ANNA'S POVWith the way his eyes kept tilting down towards William, I was not certain if he believed me or not.I held my arm around William and he flinched, slowly shifting his gaze to me. "Will, you're not feeling well, so you should go back and rest. Mummy will come take good care of you." I mustered the brightest smile I could find, patting his hair softly.William nodded and gulped. With his head down, he peeled away from my arm and started walking. Felix narrowed his eyes towards William and then crouched down."Champ, what's wrong?"My fingers tightened around my gown and I swallowed hard. That brat better not say anything or else I might just skin him alive. William's eyes filled with tears as he hugged Felix and he froze. He patted him for a while before he pulled away."I just miss..." William’s words halted and he swallowed them back, staring at his palm. "I just miss you, Daddy."Felix chuckled slightly. He pinched William's nose and let a smile spread. "I've been busy

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Stay Away, Come Closer

    REBECCA'S POVWhat was the essence of knocking when you already barged in, just like he always does? Kendrick Reyes, why can't you just stay away from me?"I don't want to see you," I said bluntly, taking a deep breath.Hopefully, he'll take the hint and just stay the fuck away, but as always, this man loved to test my patience, and surprisingly, it was growing thinner by every minute we spent together.If he wasn't Jessica's brother—and well, he had helped me a few times… not just a few times, he saved my life countless times.I turned away from him when the memory of the way he held me that day at the elevator when we got stuck burned through my head. I gulped as my heart started to race.His alluring scent twirled through my nostrils, and his presence overshadowed mine. And before I could look up at Kendrick, his hand had already found my chin. "What's going through your mind, Becca?"He was so close but not too close—yet more than enough to make me hold my fists together like my

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Two Faced Anna

    ANNA’S POVMy phone beeped, and I snatched it off the bed in a heartbeat. My heart leapt with hope—it had to be Felix.He’d been avoiding me all day. Not a word. Not even after that board meeting he wouldn’t shut up about last week.That wasn’t like him.Sure, he used to get angry, but he never pushed me away. That smug-faced vixen. It's all her fault. My jaw clenched as her calm, arrogant expression flashed through my mind. Rebecca. Always so composed. Always playing innocent.I tapped the message open—and for a second, I felt dizzy.No… no, this couldn’t be real.I blinked. Once. Twice. My chest tightened as my eyes locked on the image on the screen.“Kendrick Reyes of Reyes Corporation meets with Rebecca.”I couldn’t breathe.My fingers trembled as I zoomed in on the picture. Rebecca was in his arms. In the middle of a damn board meeting. And the way he looked at her—soft, close, intimate.Too intimate.I wanted to scream.“That cursed bitch…” I hissed through clenched teeth. “W

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Mine To Guard, Mine To Want

    KENDRICK'S POV"Boss, if Miss Belmont finds out, she won't be very happy with what you did," Lewis grumbled.The way his mouth twitched to the side was like he was trying to be pissed off with my decision. On what grounds?"Lewis, are you working with me or Miss Belmont?" I asked sharply."You," he mumbled with a deep frown."Good, so do what I asked and stop concerning yourself with matters that don't even concern you." I pointed out, and he gave an understanding nod.I watched as he turned away from me and started walking toward the door. My eyes followed him carefully, not sure if he was actually pissed off.I guess it's probably good he won't be close to Becca. I wouldn’t want him getting attached and then start questioning every decision I made when it came to Becca.But he was the only one I could trust for this job, and that meant he had to keep guarding Becca. That way I wouldn’t have to keep losing my mind.My phone buzzed on the table and my attention shifted toward it immed

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Mine To Keep

    KENDRICK'S POV"Moving out?" The words taunted me like a ghost refusing to leave my mind.I could feel the sting in my palm as I tried to breathe. Even though she told me the house belonged to her assistant, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that she was lying.My hands found their way to my tie and loosened it. I kicked off my shoes, falling back onto my bed. A deep exhale followed, and I pinched the space between my brows.The door opened and I turned to see Lewis coming inside. He stood a few paces from my bed with his hands behind his back.I picked myself up slowly and then crouched forward with my elbows on my knees. "What is it? Any news?"Lewis cleared his throat but no words came out for a moment. Then, noticing my eyes narrowing, he took a step backward and I shot my brows up."If you're going to stand there and make me wonder what’s going through your mind, then you might as well just leave." I sneered, turning back to lie down on my bed. "I already have enough to think abou

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   No Easy Exit

    REBECCA'S POVMy fingers hovered over the trackpad, my eyes fixed on the screen in front of me as I scrolled through the file Alyssa had compiled. Surprisingly, she’s proven herself to be very useful and fast when it came to her job.My finger found its way between my teeth and I bit hard. Even though she told me that she and Derek had already settled in their new house, I couldn’t help but worry. Derek was still growing and he needed a conducive environment, and I didn’t think staying at a hotel was going to be enough.I stared hard at the apartment displayed on the screen. I let out a deep sigh and bit my thumb.“Will little Derek love to stay in a place like this?”“BECKY!” Jessica’s voice broke through my thoughts and I whipped my head instinctively toward her. A tender smile spread across my face as she ran toward me, still dressed in her court uniform.After I got back from the company, I was too exhausted to even do anything, so I locked myself inside my room.Well, a part o
