REBECCA'S POV

Anna was panting, confusion clouding her eyes, flickering like a candle in the wind. She definitely hadn’t expected that last twist—but then again, never let your enemy predict your next move.

“Rebecca… how dare you?” she rasped under her breath, her voice shaking more with humiliation than rage.

My lips twitched. She was crumbling, and I didn’t even have to lift a finger.

Alyssa stepped forward, and my gaze followed her. She moved toward the food flask that had been such a spectacle all day. With calm precision, she crouched down and peeled something off the side—a sticker, small and cute, almost childlike in its deception. Underneath it? The brand label of one of Langford City’s most popular food chains.

“Mrs. Sterling,” Alyssa said sweetly, batting her lashes, “you said your husband made this. But the packaging says otherwise.”

Gasps filled the air.

I crossed my arms and scoffed, fully expecting this. I knew Felix didn’t make that meal. Either Anna was trying to push m

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   No one hurts my son

    REBECCA'S POVOnce I got back to the hospital, William was sitting on the bed. He looked much better and before I could push the door open I spotted Kendrick inside.What was he doing here?"Look, one of the fastest ways to wipe your opponent is just to take them out from their weak spot," he says.I peeped through and that was when I spotted the little game tablet they were both staring at.William smiled softly. All his attention was right back on the screen and he seemed to be listening to everything Kendrick was talking about.As I stepped inside both of their eyes tilted to meet me. I cleared my throat.William suddenly became silent, holding the tablet to his chest like I was going to snatch it from him."What are you doing here? Where is Jessica?" I asked.Kendrick didn’t answer me; instead, he rubbed William’s hair. "You can keep it. I'll show you some cool moves some other time. Your boss mom is here."William chuckled, eyes still down.I crossed my hands over my chest. Were

    REBECCA'S POV"You know what? You're right. I am with your mother and precious sister." I chuckled. "Afterall they deserve it."Felix’s gaze widened as he let his hands slip from my shirt and staggered back. He panted, rubbing his chest. Slowly, I straightened my stance."What is the matter? Did my words strike you too hard? Well, good.""Release them right now!"My fingers rolled across the smooth wooden table. "I will, but you will have to earn it first. Can you do that for me?"Felix’s face tightened. "Are you doing all of this because of William? He is fine. Why do you have to go through such wicked and cruel lengths?""William is fine, you say." I scoffed, pushing my lips to the side as I stepped out to meet the bastard. Anger had already formed in my fist as I jabbed his chin.He stumbled back."My son..." I panted, wiggling my fist as if trying to shake off the pain. "is... in the hospital. How do you think he ended up there?"Felix stared at me, dumbfounded, his palm pressed a

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   The Missing Sterlings

    REBECCA'S POV"I know this is a lot, but I need you to help me watch over Will today," I said, fixing my sleeves as I stepped out from the bathroom.Jessica tilted her gaze towards me. "Sure. Thankfully, I don't have any cases lined up today, so you have my full attention."I grinned. "What would I do without you?" I leaned over, placing a little kiss on her cheek as she giggled. At least with Jessica here, I could concentrate at work today. As I stepped out, I noticed that Lewis wasn't here yet.Well, that was even better. Thankfully, I had already made provisions, and Alyssa was already downstairs.I stared at my watch one last time before the floor chimed faintly under the bite of my heels.Alyssa waved at me in the garage, and I smirked, my heart racing with the awareness that it was going to be a long day.******"Miss Belmont, now that the meeting with the new designers has been finalized, what is the next step?" Alyssa asked, clutching her tablet as I made my way inside the off

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Custody and Conspiracy

    REBECCA'S POVRing! Ring! Ring!The sound buzzed through the darkness I had drifted into a while ago. My palm rubbed my face before a low guttural yawn was released as I reached out toward my phone."Alyssa, what's up," I mumbled, pinching the space between my brows with my elbows pressing through the wood table.The faint beep from William’s monitor resonated with my heartbeat as I waited for her response."Miss Belmont, it's already late in the evening and I couldn't reach you all afternoon. The company is in a frenzy and the shareholders have gone ballistic. Is it true that Mr. Sterling is now the new CEO?"I closed my eyes when the reality of the decision I made started to dawn on me. I literally just signed out my company to the Sterlings and now everything was going to fall apart."Miss Belmont, Miss Belmont, can you hear me?" Alyssa called out.I took a deep breath, feeling the dryness hitching my throat. "Umm, don't worry about it. Just keep doing what I asked. The summer coll

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Delusional Me

    KENDRICK'S POV"Stop... whatever this is," Becca says, but I caught the little quiver in her low tone."Are you sure that's what you want? If it's not, you can stop this right now," I said, taking in her delicious scent. Today she was covered up with creamy vanilla with cherry essence. This was the first time I had gotten something like this from her, and I had to say that it was so good.Thud thud.My ears tilted up when I heard the sound coming from the outside among faint mumbles, and my lips curled. Becca must have heard it because she flinched, trying to move forward."Kendrick, get off. Someone is coming," she yelps, tugging at my wrist, but I chuckled."I am a man of my word, Becca." I slid my hand down to her stomach and wrapped her tummy. The one that's going to be bearing my seeds soon.Delusional me.Wham.The door opened, and that was when I let her slip from my hands. Rebecca fixed her shirt, her cheeks flushed red as she turned."Rebecca? What are you doing here?"I whip

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Your body wants me.

    REBECCA'S POVMy breath hitched as I swallowed hard, feeling my muscles weaken under his stern, freaking eyes."What... What did you just say?" I chipped, half-stutter laced in a mutter.His body jerked, curving through my own chest slowly as he moved in like he was going for the kill. His hand found my chin, almost like he was pulling my soul. I felt my toes curl together, and at that moment, trying to maintain eye contact was self-torture because my heart was drumming like a fool."You. Heard. Me, Becca."The way his voice rolled out effortlessly, like it was specifically designed to say those words.His head dipped, almost closing whatever distance remained between us, and I panicked.My head whipped toward the other side, and I felt his body pause. For a moment, he didn’t say anything, and neither did I.This was probably for the best. Things shouldn't get complicated.I had too much pride to be the other woman. Even if his feelings were genuine, I wasn’t about to repeat my past
