REBECCA'S POV

I used to love parties. But now, the idea of dressing up makes my stomach twist with so many emotions I could not explain.

But since all the Elite would be there then so will be my treacherous Ex husband.

"So you will be coming, right?" Jessica's brows arched as she leaned in closer, breaking me from my thoughts.

Her eyes searched mine so closely, like I was going to disappear if she blinked even for a moment.

"Can you just inch back a little?" I wrinkled my nose, slowly setting the card on the bed. "You're starting to suffocate me with your perfume."

Jessica raised an eyebrow as she craned her neck to sniff her fabric.

"Come on, you know I smell good."

I gave a small headshake, trying to fight back a smile. I couldn’t help but tease my best friend. "I know, but I can't help but think maybe you smell too good."

Jessica let out a small laugh, then tugged on my shirt.

My brows furrowed as she pouted. I had a feeling she was going to ask something from me.

    REBECCA'S POV"You should be grateful that the only thing you got was a slap," Jessica hissed, her lips curling up with disgust, her eyes sizing Miriam.Miriam gasped, her eyes flickering between me and Jessica."You won't get away with this..." Her teeth gritted as she tried to step closer, but I darted my eyes over to hers, slowly caressing my palm."Take another step closer and you will be receiving more than a slap."Instinctively, she was dumbstruck, panting heavily as her teeth clenched against her lips."Bad woman, why do you always want to cause trouble?" Will cried out, his tiny hands pressing against my feet, attempting to push me away.With a heavy sigh, I staggered back. My fists curled, not from rage—but shame. I couldn't look at Will. Not after he called me ‘bad woman’. Not after I let someone hurt him."Little brat," Jessica fumed, her fingers moving over to his ears, twisting them until he cried out."Rebecca, have you gone crazy? You will let someone bully your son?" A

Probably Jessica had put him up to this, right?"Thank you so much..." Straining my voice, my heels clicked slowly, taking the card from his hand, and then I grinned, the words sliding from my tongue. "Love."Anna and Miriam eyed me with suspicion."Try it," I say, passing the card t

    REBECCA' S POVMy skin started to tingle when I felt the cold water drop onto my face. His breath on my neck made my fists tighten. I froze against his towering frame that wanted to swallow my entire existence.I had never felt so small."Are you okay, Becca?" His tone was light and gentle, and I recoiled farther against the wall. My toes curled up against my flip-flops.I had heard that name countless times, but yet why did it have to feel so good coming from him?I narrowed my eyes slowly towards Kendrick, and our eyes met. Instinctively, my lips parted slightly. His gaze was sharp and so deep I was almost certain that he might be able to see right through me.I averted my gaze, only for my eyes to land on his bare chest. That was when I realized that my hands were on his abs.I froze again, with my chest heating up.Damn, did Kendrick always have such a nice body?I tilted my head and unconsciously brushed my hand over his tight, rock-board chest.The adrenaline shot up through my

    REBECCA'S POV"What exactly do you want, Reyes?"Our eyes were tightly fixed against each other, none of us wanted to falter.Kendrick's head lowered along with his body, and I held my breath. "Are you sure you want to hear it? I can be quite demanding."His long lashes fanning slowly. "Can you keep up, Belmont?" What a joke. Did he think he could scare me like that?I was about to say something when his voice interrupted me and my words died inside my throat."Take me out to dinner then," he said, like it was the most natural thing in the world. My heart stuttered, and for a second, I forgot how to breathe. What game was he playing, and why did part of me want to play along?"What?" I blurted out just after him, but he crossed his arms."What is the problem, Belmont? Can't keep up?"I narrowed my gaze, letting my eyes wander over him. Kendrick Reyes didn't look like an easy man, and somehow a part of me didn’t see this coming like a coincidence like Jessica had mentioned.His eyes

    KENDRICK'S POV"Damn it." I cursed under my breath, raking a handful of my hair with a deep breath.She was still the same as I remembered. My heart had thumped hard just thinking about how her lips had parted when we were together. It was unusual—I’d never felt this way with anyone, man or woman."That sudden urge to cover our distance and do all the fantasies I cooked up inside my head all these years.I took another deep breath, sinking onto my bed. Somehow her scent managed to linger. My nose tickled.Every time I closed my eyes, I could see her and It was driving me insaneI craved her, but she didn’t need that. Not now. Not from me.That was unusual because I never felt this way throughout my time with any man or woman.I've asked myself a thousand times.Why her? Out of all the people I've known, why does she still haunt me? Rebecca Belmont—my obsession. I looked down at the necklace I always wore, the one with her initial. As if it held a piece of her."Slowly, I caressed it.

    KENDRICK'S POV"Mind your business, Jessica," I snapped, pulling my shirt to cover my neck.This necklace belonged to Becca, but apparently not anymore because I may have snatched it one time when we were growing up and I didn’t return it.I was going abroad, and I never knew when I was going to be back, so the necklace was my keepsake.I held it close so I could still feel tethered to warmth despite my cold, dark, lonely reality.She was my sunshine even though she doesn’t realize it just yet.Jessica tried to peek again over my neck, but I moved away. "That really looks familiar, where did you get it from?"I clicked my tongue, my body leaning against the chair. She was persistent like a bee."It is none of your business. How many times do I have to spell it out for you?" I grumbled, and my gaze shifted back to Jessica.That playful smirk coursing through her lips effortlessly as she leaned against the table, her elbows pressing against the wood for support."That looks like somethi

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Shadow And Champagne

    REBECCA'S POVThe 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

The party is going on for a while and he’s not going anywhere for the moment.” Kendrick’s hand was on my shoulders, his warm breath against the crook of my neck.I eyed him from the corner of my eyes before I gave a nod.How did he know what was going through my mind? The more I stared at him, I was unable to figure out what he truly wanted.We moved through the chattering of the guests, and I could feel stares boring into my back.A part of me loved the attention, but I didn’t like that it was because of him. His presence was magnetic, and he effortlessly drew attention without even trying.Finally, we stopped in front of a door and he motioned with his chin. “You can go in. Take your time to get refreshed. I won’t peek.”I could swear I saw t

    REBECCA'S POV"Shut up," Felix groans as his face twisted, his hands rambling over the papers as he tore it into shreds."Don't worry. Grandfather will be here any minute to deliver the real papers." I flickered my gaze toward the paper that was already laying on the floor."It's good you shredded them because that was only the photocopy."Felix fumed. He took a step forward, almost like he was about to grab my hand, but the moment he remembered what happened the last time he did, he recoiled with a snarl."Get out of my company! And who do you think you are, commanding my grandfather to run your errands...."Anna eyed me up and down again. "You are so shameless," she hissed.I took a deep breath, and then I lifted my hand and with a click, I snapped my fingers. In less than a second, the men grabbed Felix and yanked Anna to the side.They held them down as they continued to struggle."Rebecca, you witch! What do you want from us?!

    REBECCA'S POVI always knew there was a part of me that was off—maybe nuts, if we're being honest. But I never thought I'd live to see the day I'd have to drag out my inner psycho... as a defense mechanism."Get the heck out of my company, you crazy freak. I'm so ashamed to even call you my ex-wife." Felix glared at me like an object he wanted to get rid of in the next minute. But unfortunately for him, we were both stuck in the game.The only way to end it? Oh well, there's no end until I'm no longer on the face of this earth."Trust me, the feeling is mutual." I let out a hiss, tilting my face away from his. "How did I ever marry such a lying, selfish, and ungrateful bastard?"Anna's mouth fell wide open with the collective gasp from everyone that was present."When I let you pitch my designs for free without claiming ownership of my work, you didn't think I was a freak."Felix flinched again, his eyes sliding off Anna, then back, eyeing me sharply when he heard the whispers from ev

    REBECCA'S POV"She's..." The receptionist gulped, her lips quivered against my gaze as we stared at each other.My hands against her collar tightened, tugging her forward, and her nails squeaked against the table.I arched a brow, nodding once—slow, expectant—urging her to continue, even as the last threads of patience slipped from my grasp."Mr. Felix is in the conference room. He's having a meeting with all the shareholders and the stakeholders..." she rambled.My eyes wandered away from her desk toward the elevator as my hands loosened their grip on her shirt.The receptionist scrambled to her feet, her hands brushing against her shirt as she tugged it straight, and then she cleared her throat."Please, you can't tell... you can't tell Mr. Felix I told you or else he'll fire me."I grinned, my elbows pressed against the table, letting my gaze trail back toward the receptionist.She stiffened, her eyes locked straight against mine, and her throat bulged again."Sweetheart, you don't

    REBECCA'S POV"Shut up. You have no right to bargain," the leader grunted, his body swaying from side to side.His hands were still fixed on his crotch, and I could see his teeth dragging against his bottom lip.The feral glare in his eyes was a clear revelation that if given the opportunity, he was going to eat me alive."Down, boy. I'm discussing business," I forced a smile.From my bound wrists, I could see the ticking of the clock. Every moment was a dreadful reminder that time was running out. If I stayed here any longer, I might miss my chance.I could not let Felix get what he wanted—especially today of all days."You've heard of Belmont, right?" I tilted my head toward the remaining two who were still watching me with interest.My senses were dulling due to the crusted robe that was tied around my stomach, fixing me to the chair.Every breath was painful, and it squeezed my lungs, but there was no way I could show them any weakness."Belmont?" they repeated in hushed whispers,

    REBECCA’S POVRing! Ring! Ring!The alarm clock buzzed like a drill against my skull, and I slammed my hand down on it without a second thought.My eyes snapped open. “Monday. Finally.” The word slipped past my lips in a quiet breath.This wasn’t just Felix’s big day. It was mine too. A day I had been waiting for—plotting, planning, perfecting every move. And now it was here.The weekend had blurred by faster than I’d liked. Jessica was probably buried back in work already. As for Kendrick… I hadn’t seen or heard from him since the orphanage.Not that it mattered. Why should I care where he went?I slid open my wardrobe, fingers grazing past fabrics until they landed on the suit. Red. My color. Power. Fire. Control.The blazer shimmered faintly with gold embroidery that kissed the cuffs and collar. I paired it with sleek silver heels that could break bones if stepped on wrong. A matching bag. Gold-trimmed.Royalty. Precision. Unshakable presence.I clipped on a pair of earrings just a

    REBECCA’S POV“Still don’t want my help?” Kendrick’s voice coiled into my ears like smoke, thick and unnecessary. I snapped my head toward him, the sting of irritation sharpening my face.He was being insufferable—like a five-year-old denied his favorite toy. Or worse, like my son Will when he didn’t get dessert. Just my luck. Babysitting the Reyes siblings on a supposed day off.Maybe this was a mistake. No, scratch that. This was a mistake. I should’ve been in my room, piecing together Felix’s downfall like the goddamn tactician I am, not playing chauffeur games with Mr. Ego and Miss Cuteness.The car door flew open and Jessica stormed out, her heels clacking hard against the pavement.“Kendrick! Why are you so evil?” she shrieked as she rushed toward me.I was still on the ground, wincing at the ache blooming in my butt.Jessica pulled me up with a huff, brushing imaginary dust off me like I was some porcelain doll she accidentally cracked.“I only did what she asked,” Kendrick m

    REBECCA'S POVJessica stood in front of the mirror, spinning slowly in her short, candy-pink dress, a hopeful grin plastered across her face."So how do I look?" she asked, batting her lashes like she hadn’t asked me that three times already.I barely glanced up from my phone, lifting a lazy thumb in her direction. "It’s perfect, Jess. Can we go now? Your list is a mile long and we haven’t even made it past the door."She huffed and swatted at the air like I’d just insulted her entire bloodline. "Oh please, don’t be a killjoy."But the moment she turned back to the mirror, I saw it—her smile faltered, her fingers fidgeted at the hem of her dress, and that familiar look of insecurity crept onto her face."I think this dress is making me look fat," she murmured, inspecting herself with a scrunched nose. "I should change."I groaned and flopped back onto the bed, arms wide. "There she goes again." I waved a hand in surrender as she made a beeline for my side of the closet. Not hers—mine.

    REBECCA'S POV"Hey, wake up, sleepyhead." Jessica's voice was way too cheerful for this hour as her hands jostled me lightly.I groaned and cracked one eye open, finding her face just inches from mine. She was hovering over me like a mother hen, her long hair falling like a curtain around her face.God. I could never get used to how clingy she’d gotten lately.It was kind of adorable… but also lowkey disturbing. Like she was trying to glue herself to my side."Hey," I mumbled, struggling to keep my eyes open. The dizziness clung to me like a second blanket, dragging me back toward unconsciousness.Jessica plopped herself beside me, legs folded like a curious little kid. “So... how was your night yesterday?” she asked, grinning way too wide.I rolled my eyes and sat up slowly, elbows supporting my weight. “You mean after you ditched me with your brother? You do know he’s kind of a handful, right?”Jessica snorted and waved a dismissive hand. “Oh, please. He has his moments, but come on

    REBECCA POVKendrick stepped closer, his gaze never leaving mine. His proximity made it harder to breathe, harder to think straight. Each step he took seemed deliberate, l he was closing the distance, not just physically, but mentally, emotionally. I was starting to feel cornered by his presence, the cool detachment in his eyes all too aware, like he knew exactly what he was doing.Of course he knew what he was doing. "Let's have dinner and don't worry I don't bite." He says in a husky tone. For a man who claims to not be interested in women he sure knew how to flirt shamelessly. I opened my mouth to respond, but no words came. Instead, I found myself rooted to the spot, unable to tear my gaze away from his. His eyes—damn those eyes.They were dark and calculating, and in that moment. "Alright let's eat." I frowned, pushing past his shoulders on pushin, aa I nudge him out of the way. I matched over to the table and droppee unto my seat, the scent made my mouth began to water
