REBECCA'S POVThe audacity of this man never ceased to amaze me every time he opened his mouth to spout one of his nonsense.I stood up from my seat, and he watched me with interest, blazing with that victorious smile. The kind that clearly said he had me where he wanted me.“Lewis,” I called out softly, totally ignoring his remark.“Miss Belmont,” Lewis said after me.I stared at Felix, letting the silence and the tension ripple through the air and let him burn with anticipation of what I was about to say.“Shut him up.” I turned to Lewis. “My ex-husband is talking too much and it's making me dizzy.”Felix’s eyes faltered, and then he stood up straight. Then he started to chuckle. “Rebecca, you wouldn’t dare…”Thwack!Lewis’s hand connected to his face, and Felix’s groan filled the air. His body tilted backwards, and his eyes were red—filled with shock.Lewis stood over him with his fist still clenched. Felix scoffed, and then his thumb trailed over the blood smeared from the side of
FELIX'S POVJerome slid into the seat across from me."You don't look so well. What's on your mind?" he asked."My main problem is that woman," I snarled.He smiled.Jerome raised a brow. “You mean your ex-wife.”I slammed my palm against the table. “Wife. We are not yet divorced, and I have no plans to do so.”Jerome nodded, and then he took a deep breath."She is trouble. Keeping her by yourself is going to make things complicated, and besides, you have Anna Sterling now by your side. You’ve gotten everything you wanted."Jerome clicked his tongue."It’s better to just get divorced."I pulled my hand away from my chin and turned away from him. Anger slammed through my chest. The only reason I married Rebecca was because she was desperate, and she seemed to care then.The marriage was arranged by my family, but we got along quite well. She took what I loved. In return, I took what she valued. Her money, her mind and her freedom. I made sure she was isolated from everything.She took
FELIX'S POVI squinted through the window, one hand braced against the frame as I craned my neck to see downstairs.Another unfruitful plan...Just like that, I couldn't get her. After all the planning with Anna, and still the Langford City police couldn't just throw Rebecca in jail so she would have to beg me to release her.Anna had told me that she had this grand plan to get Rebecca arrested, and now from the looks of things, Rebecca had outsmarted her."What a bunch of pathetic fools. Can't even successfully arrest one woman."From the top of my office, I stared down at her. Victory etched on her face—but not for long.I turned away from my window and walked over to the other side of my office.Cramped and suffocating, the office could'nt even seat five people without elbows clashing. Rebecca wanted me boxed in. In her dreams.This was merely a setback and I plan to play this game with her for as long as she wants. In the end, she will beg me.That is the only way this is going t
REBECCA'S POV"Is there anything else, Miss Belmont?" Anna asked as she set my bag on the table.My legs crossed against the other. "That will be all. You can go."Anna gave me one last stern look before she nodded and turned to leave.The door closed, and Lewis leaned closer. "Miss Belmont, why are you provoking her? She looks like the kind of person who won't let things slide."I stared at the door in front of me. "Of course she won't, and that is precisely why I’ll keep getting under her skin."Lewis gave a thoughtful nod.Anna Sterling was the woman who destroyed my home. It was only fair that I do the same to her. She took my home, and I plan on taking her life.Killing her would be an act of mercy. But her life... it can take various painful forms. Anna was the type who loved to be the center of attention. She craved it like a drug.The ecstasy of fame and power—I'll make sure she reaches for it but never gets it.The door opened again, and I flicked my gaze towards it. Alyssa wa
KENDRICK'S POVMy fingers drummed against the table, my eyes were fixed on the wall clock that hung over the wall.I squinted my gaze.“Why does it seem like this thing is not even moving?” I grumbled.The faster I left the office, the sooner I could go see her. I wanted to call her, but I still didn’t have her number. Or I could just ask Jessica to give it to me.Funny, how I stalked her for years and still never got her number. Anyway, I couldn’t blame myself for that part because she was someone’s wife at the time.I threw my head back. Jessica was my only option.She might just end up teasing me, but if that was what it took to get Becca’s contact, then fine.I scooped my phone from the table and craned forward, my fingers already about to start typing on the screen when I heard a knock on the door and I paused.“Mr. Reyes, are you in?” Mia Hermes, one of my assistants, called out from the door.With Lewis occupied for now, I let Mia handle things—at least until he returns, if he
REBECCA'S POV"Miss Belmont, please don't complicate things," he says. "We are just doing our job." He gave a sublte and polite nod."Well, Your job is shitty and it sucks. Kindly consider a change of pofession." I snapped.There was no way I was going to let myself falter just because he was polite.If I was correct, this must have been Anna’s doing. She had always detested me, no doubt—or maybe it was the both of them.The lovebird duo.Unfortunately, I was not in the mood for games."I am sorry, gentlemen. I have no intention of skipping work today."Two steps forward, and I was already standing eye to eye with the man in front of me. "I didn’t get dressed to be hanging around in a police station, and besides, you just came here on baseless claims."I narrowed my gaze, and I could see the man’s lips tighten."If you want me to go with you, then you should at least provide proof. Else, I would not hesitate to sue you for trespassing because, after all, this is my company."I turned
