REBECCA'S POV

The chatter of the guests swirled around me, blending into the soft hum of the music as I let my eyes scan the party. It was just as I remembered—dim lights casting a warm glow over the room, and the gentle melodies seeping into every corner.

There was a certain comfort in the familiarity of it all, but at the same time, it felt strange.

I couldn’t remember the last time I had stepped foot into a party like this.

Felix always thought it wasn’t important, always tucked me away from the world.

I was his little treasure, something too precious to be shared. It was as if he wanted to hide me from everything and everyone, like I could only exist in the shadows of his world, unseen and untouchable.

What a joke.

But now, standing here, I couldn’t help but feel a flicker of something—freedom, maybe, or just the weight of everything I had been missing.

"Where are they?" I whispered under my breath, letting my gaze move freely across the room.

The only reason I came here was to s

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Beneath My feet

    REBECCA'S POV"You unhinged witch. How dare you try to kick my brother out from his own company?" Miriam yelled."So noisy," I remarked in a low tone.Anna's eyes were drifting away from reality as they moved away from me. I cupped her face, bringing her back into reality. She jerked, gritted her teeth as I brought her face close... so close that our lips could almost touch.She tilted her chin up, struggling to meet my height. Was she standing on her toes?Anna searched for warmth in my eyes but found none. It was just the cold, emotionless, heartless monster she created staring right back at her."Kneel," I rumbled under my breath. It was soft but yet sharp enough to cut through her entire body. I loosened my hold on her chin and her body slipped from my grip. Miriam was too scared to even come close, pulled Anna into her arms and held her gently.Anna was shaking, but her eyes drifted back towards me. I tilted my head to the side so she would be reminded that this wasn’t over

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   I Don't Bluff

    REBECCA'S POV"Apologize and I'll let you go," I said firmly while everyone stared like I was performing some sort of magical display.Anna and Miriam started exchanging weird glances. Their pupils dilated as they held themselves. Even though they were startled, there was no single sign of remorse coming from them—but it was fine.If they apologized on the first trial, then it was not going to feel earned. It wasn’t going to be fun because I wanted to break their resolve and enjoy every bit of it."Still not apologizing? Fine." I nodded, my gaze turning towards Lewis and he straightened. His stance rigid as he waited for my order. All it would take was just a word and he would move swiftly—but no. I wanted their willingness."Give me another bottle," I ordered, and he nodded.However, Mr. Kole stepped forward with his hands stretched out. I narrowed my eyes from his arm and then slowly trailed it back toward his face."Mr. Kole, I am sorry for the damage and don't worry, I'll take car

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   She's mad

    REBECCA'S POV"What is going on here?" Mr. Kole’s voice breaks through the moment.Before anyone could explain, Miriam jumped in quickly. She stood up from her seat and tucked her hands around his arm.His face narrowed into an icy glare. He suddenly looked much more sober. His eyes were on me, probably waiting for me to speak, but I just sat there watching my prey—Anna.I watched as she held her breath, staring right back at me with so much hate and venom. But actually, I had never felt anything better."Mr. Kole, this witch is disrupting your party and causing trouble. She needs to leave immediately!" Miriam chipped in.Mr. Kole finally turned towards Miriam. The smile of satisfaction was evident on her face. She was more than certain he was going to take her side—and honestly, I didn’t even care.Jessica stood up, placing her hand on my shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze."Mr. Kole, please don’t listen to her trash talk. Ever since we got here, these two ladies have been causing

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Vengeful Queen vs Bitter mistress

    REBECCA'S POV"I have better things to do than to stalk my ex-husband's mistress," I said bluntly.I made sure to pitch the tone of my voice just enough so the rest of the people could hear it. Anna's palm squeezed over the table and she snapped, smacking it against the table."Who are you calling his mistress? I'm Felix's—""Are you even married to him?" Jessica giggled beside me, but it came out in a whisper that was loud enough for her to hear."What! Say that again." Miriam jumped to her feet, her finger pointing toward Jessica."You're acting so pissed. I wasn't talking to you." Jessica tilted her head, and she crossed her arms before she turned it away from them.Anna forced a smile with a bitter scoff as her eyes turned red. "Felix and I would have already been married if you didn't ruin our lives. And now you come here playing the victim.""Me?" I pointed a finger at my face, chuckling softly. "Come on, Anna, you can't blame me for your poor taste in men. If your precious Feli

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   I Like It Here

    REBECCA'S POV"Please, don't act like my brother and ruin the mood." Jessica rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest. "What could possibly go wrong?"She chuckled slightly, her voice fading slowly inside my head as I narrowed across the lounge.Instinctively, my chin tightened—and so did my palm.What could go wrong? Literall everything?Jessica must have noticed my gaze, and she gasped, moving forward until she was blocking my path."Shit. We should probably leave." She bit down on her lips, her face turning red."I swear, I didn’t know your ex–sister-in-law and that witch would be here," she added.I believed Jessica. If she had known they were invited, she would have turned down the offer and stayed home, ranting about how they ruined her evening.That was something my best friend could do."Why should I leave?" I asked sharply."Ummm..." Jessica swallowed hard, staring at Lewis, who was also dumbstruck like she was. She exhaled, turning back towards Anna and Miriam—Felix

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Let's Get Wild

    REBECCA'S POV“Lewis, is there a problem?” Jessica asked slowly.I squinted when I noticed the way the corners of her cheeks were already tinged red. I smirked, exchanging a weird glance between her and Lewis.This little flirt.Lewis, who was always so guarded and rigid, cleared his throat and took a deep breath.Hmm. Interesting.He turned toward me, giving a slight nudge with his head.“Mr. Reyes has asked me to accompany you ladies for the night,” he said.I trailed my gaze toward the stairs, searching for any trace of that man who had a knack for lingering in matters that didn’t concern him.Jessica had invited Kendrick but he turned down the invite, so why was he sending Lewis to watch me? Or could it be he was just worried about his little sister?“Really,” Jessica chuckled, crossing her arms over her chest as her head tilted from side to side, almost like she was searching for Kendrick.“My brother has never been interested in me staying out this late...” Her voice trailed of
