REBECCA'S POV

My eyes widened, caught between reality and the storm of thoughts clouding my mind. I stumbled forward, my frantic steps barely supported by knees that threatened to give out.

One hand tangled in my hair, the other clutching my shirt—I gasped for air, but it felt like none existed. Tears pooled, blurring the dark around me.

“No… please stop. Make it stop.” My voice rolled out in hushed pleas as my steps faltered backward, shaking my head.

Heavy footsteps echoed. The metallic scent of blood. Everything hit me like it was happening all over again—my entire body trembled.

I felt a presence, and then a quick but firm grip cupped my cheeks, yanking me closer, and my body stiffened. My chest rose and fell, trying to gasp for every breath I could find.

“Becca!” A deep voice called, and hands cupped my cheeks, nudging me gently—pulling me back to reality. “Becca, calm down.”

My lips quivered and a hot tear rolled down my cheek as my vision tried to come alive. I saw Kendrick ove

    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

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Pushover? No. Villianess? Yes.

    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

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Pressed Against Steel

    REBECCA'S POVI pushed forward, but it only made Kendrick lean in, and I felt his breath on my neck.“Get out, or else I’ll hurt you.”“I’m counting on that… because at least then your eyes will be on me.” His lips curled, and the corner of my eyes twitched.Kendrick’s eyes lowered, and his lips parted like he was staring at the most appetizing dish he had ever seen in his life. The kind that made my heart race like my life depended on it.This feeling was something I had never felt. I took a breath, forcing it down, not willing to admit whatever it was.“If you keep panting that way...” Kendrick rasped, blinking his long, thick, curled-up lashes, and I clenched my fists as his tone trailed. “I might be tempted to silence those perfectly shaped hearts you call lips.”My eyes widened, but I couldn’t move. All I could do was stare—and feel.The sight of him alone in this elevator was suffocating me more than I would care to admit, and my heart kept thudding so fast that the veins at th

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   Trapped With The Annoying CEO

    REBECCA'S POV"Anything you need, Miss Belmont," Alyssa nodded.What amazed me was that there was not even a single hint of hesitation in her eyes. I smiled—she was learning fast."I noticed that the top designers, most of them seem to be from affluent families. Why is that?"Alyssa sighed and slowly helped me rest my back in one of the seats."Ma'am, you may not know this, but Sterling Fashion House is a nightmare, especially when you don't have money and connections or you're not ready to sell..." Alyssa's voice wavered, swallowing hard, the lump in her throat visible.My interest piqued, narrowing my gaze. "Sell?""Sell your body and be one of the directors’ sex toys.""What?" I arched a brow, and Alyssa stiffened. "Is this true?"She managed a nod. I scoffed, feeling the nudging headache all over again. Felix was a cheater, but I never knew he would stoop so low—because there is no way he's not involved in this.If I'm not exaggerating, he's the pioneer.I bit my lips hard, and I

  • Hell Has No Fury: His Ex Wife Revenge   She Needs Me

    KENDRICK'S POV"As your parents, we only want what is best for you," my mom pressed on.My dad nodded quickly. "Your mother is correct."I tilted my head, and my dad turned away. "Forget it. If that's your choice, we will have to accept her. But still, you can't keep hiding from us.""Accept?" My mom scoffed, then rolled her eyes at my dad. "Easy for you to say—you didn’t carry him for nine months. We’ve heard troubling things about that woman."She took a deep breath, her hand placed against her chest like she was about to pass out any minute. "No way I would let my only son be involved with a woman like her."A woman like her? I almost let out a deep laugh that made my parents flick that concerned look—like I had lost my mind."You act like you have a say in this matter."The air suddenly stilled, and I saw the twitch in their eyes. Just because I decided to let things slide doesn’t mean I didn’t remember how they shipped me abroad to study—as if I needed it.They are the reason wh
