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   A Delusional Man And More

    FELIX'S POVWhy was this woman fond of embarrassing me every goddamn fucking time?Anger swirled through me as I grabbed Anna's hand and we pushed through the crowds. Their hushed whispers, filled with sneers, deepened through the air, thick and suffocating me.Bang!I closed the door with a loud thud and then tossed Anna aside. She crashed against the table and let out a whimper."Felix…" she cried, holding onto her stomach, but irritation just coursed through my veins the more I stared at her."Don’t you even fucking try to cry. What the heck is wrong with you?" I yelled at the top of my lungs.Anna’s eyes filled with tears even more and I gritted my teeth, covering the distance between us. My hand latched onto a lock of her hair and forced her away from the floor."What is your problem? I thought we both agreed not to provoke that woman, so why did you get on her nerves, huh?" I roared, feeling the tightening inside my chest as I tightened my grip.Anna hissed from the pain, her ha

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Now I Did

    REBECCA'S POVIf I remember, Felix can't even cook a fly to save his life.Oh well, their relationship was none of my business, so I tried to walk past, but somehow Anna drove her steps towards the side where I was, almost crashing into me."Oh, I didn't see you there. I'm so sorry," she says sweetly, her voice dripping from years of fakeness like I would care.I stared down at her. She was one of those typical five-foot girls men seemed to crave. Who knows, maybe that was the reason why I got cheated on.I wouldn’t call myself tall, but I still towered over most women—especially in heels.She was expecting me to react, but instead, I turned my gaze away and tried to walk away, but her arm latched onto mine, squeezing me.I stared at her grip and then to her face, trying to wonder what sort of twisted plan she was harbouring. I could already notice some of the few staff in the cafeteria staring at us."Anna, is there something I can help you with?" I asked.Anna tugged me forward, gri

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Shamelessly Yours

    REBECCA'S POV"So, you are Philip Harts?" I asked, even though I had heard him the first time."Yes, ma’am," Philip said with a nod.He turned towards Kendrick, and I noticed the look of disdain etched between his brows before he straightened his back."Miss Belmont, don’t you think your bodyguard is too hostile? I was merely trying to give you a handshake, and he stopped me."A scoff tore from my throat as I seized up his appearance. “He was doing his job. People like you don’t even deserve to stand in front of me.”He blinked, but I turned my face away from him and walked away.When we got to the hallway, I heard Alyssa behind me. "Miss Belmont, you didn’t have to do that for me."My jaw hardened. "Who says I did it for you?"Alyssa paused and muttered, "Oh."I smirked. She was so easy.People like Alyssa were generous, kind, and easy to fool and they don’t even realize it. I’m afraid people will try to take advantage of her.Part of the reason why I took her in—aside from the fact

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   The Devil Wears Confidence

    REBECCA'S POV"Miss Belmont, that's not—""What? If you can't provide proof about you being there, why should I or anyone on this board listen to you?"Mr. Jerome's face was pale, and I noticed the color draining from his eyes. His lips parted, and I stepped in quickly."If that was why this meeting was held, then it's better to cancel it altogether. I won't sit here after a tedious day and let you run your mouth to slander me," I said with a straight face.If Mr. Jerome and these board members thought that they were going to tear me down, then they should guess again. Since they wanted to play dirty, it was only fair I returned the favor and played even dirtier."Miss Belmont, according to what I heard—""Oh, so you're judging me based on what you heard from someone? Who is it, then? Maybe you should bring him or her here so they can explain themselves."Mr. Jerome's hand tightened over the table.According to my analysis, Jerome was working with Felix, and that made him the masterm

    REBECCA'S POVThe air felt still like time had stopped, heavy with unspoken tension. Every second he stalled me, the meeting slipped further from reach.Deep down, as I watched the way his gaze hardened, I already had a feeling that there was no way he was going to change his mind.I held his piercing gaze, and then I walked past him—and surprisingly, he didn’t stop me. I tilted my head to the side, and I had to admit, a smile formed on my face when I heard his steps behind me.Alyssa was about to open the door when I stopped and turned to Kendrick. “Are you sure you want to go in? Won’t people recognize you?”Kendrick crossed his arms. “Are you worried about my identity? It’s not like it was a secret in the first place. Most people don’t know me because I didn’t grow up in Langford City.”I gave a knowing nod and then I paused again. Kendrick was already here, I might as well use his presence to my advantage.“Since you’re here, I might just make the announcement that you will be wi
