Second Vows Of A Scorned Wife Chapter Twenty Eight
*Avina* *THREE DAYS LATER*I stood in front of the full-length mirror in the penthouse, my fingers trembling slightly as I smoothed the fabric of my dress. It was a sharp, charcoal-grey corporate piece that fitted me like a second skin.I reached for my brush, pulling it through my strawberry blonde hair. The color seemed more vibrant today, reflecting the morning light. I pinned half of it back, letting the rest fall in soft waves over my shoulders. The warmth of the hair color made my green eyes pop, turning them into sharp emeralds. I looked like my mother. For the first time in years, I didn't see the hollowed-out shell of Xavier’s wife or the love deprived daughter. I saw Calista Drene’s daughter.“I still hate this,” Macy said, her grumpy voice cutting through the silence of the room.I turned to see her leaning against the doorframe, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. She looked restless, her eyes darting toward the thick manila envelope sitting on my vanity.“You don't

*Ronan*I didn't take the elevator on my way down as I already figured it might take time. Instead, I took the stairs, my lungs burning as I cleared three flights at a time. I burst into the private parking lot, practically flung myself into my car and started it. The screech of my tires echoed against the concrete as I floored the accelerator and took off.The drive to the outskirts of the city should have taken forty minutes but I somehow did it in fifteen, my urgency fueled by the ever growing ball of panic in my chest. I zoomed past buildings, the city blurring into a streak of grey and glass. I didn't care about the speed traps or the cars I forced off the road. Everything and everyone else came second as it stands now. And soon enough, I turned into the long familiar road that led to my mansion but even the sight of it did nothing to ease the dread looming in the back of my head. My mansion was a secluded fortress, hidden behind ten-foot stone walls and a forest of ancient o

*Ronan*The mahogany table in front of me seemed to stretch on for miles, a polished desert of corporate boredom. And around it sat twelve of the most powerful board members in the Graves conglomerate, their voices a dull, buzzing hum in the background. They were talking about quarterly dividends, overseas acquisitions, and the fluctuating price of steel.I didn't care.I leaned back in my leather chair, the scent of expensive floor wax and old money filling my nose. Usually, this was my element. I was the patriarch. I was the one who moved the pieces on the board. But today, the only thing I could see was the image of a white envelope and the defiance in a pair of wide, green eyes.‘I am not pregnant.’The lie had been so blatant, so desperate. I could still feel the phantom heat of her skin when I’d crowded her space, the way her breath hitched when I’d mentioned that night we spent together. “Mr. Graves? Your thoughts on the Singapore merger?”The voice belonged to Victor, a man w

*Avina*I slowly broke away from Maria 2.0 and took some steps back. “What the hell is going on?“ I asked, my eyes swinging from one doppelganger to the other. The one I was previously hugging stepped forward, her hands stretched out and with a pleading look in her eyes. “Avina—”I threw up a finger, shushing her immediately. “I believe I just asked a question and I'm yet to receive an answer.”The other one who just entered sighed and crossed her arms over her chest. “Well, technically, you didn't actually ask any question.”My gaze swung over to her, my forehead scrunching up. “What?”She sighed again, walked over to the sofa and plopped down on it. “Like you've just seen… Yes, we are twins.““And why am I finding out about this now?”She pursed her lips, her shoulders lifting in a shrug. “Because you never really looked at us.“ She waved a hand down her body. “I am way taller than she is and our manner of speech differs too.“Now that she outrightly mentioned it, I couldn't help

*Avina*I have experienced a lot of shocks but ever since I was practically reborn, only on two occasions has anyone managed to stun me into total silence. First was when Xavier made that outrageous demand for me to do damage control for him. The second one was now, I was still dressed in a rumpled dress, my hair sticking out in places and with probably huge eyebags when Ronan told me that I was pregnant. I snorted out a short disbelieving laugh. “What? I'm not pregnant.”Ronan didn't say anything and panic grew within me. My chest constricted, a huge lump of emotions clogging my throat. My breathing grew restricted, my fingers dug into my sweaty palm as I tried to rein myself in. “I mean, I would be the first to know if ever I get pregnant. And not you,” I muttered under my breath, my mind racing. But even as these words left my lips, a twinge of doubt crept up my spine. My first ever pregnancy was practically orchestrated by Xavier, he was the one who kept track of everything a

*Avina*When consciousness finally returned to me, it did so slowly, like something reluctant to surface. At first there was only warmth beneath my body and the faint, sterile smell of antiseptic filling the air every time I breathed in. My thoughts moved sluggishly, thick and distant, as if they had to push through layers of fog before reaching me. For a long moment I simply lay there with my eyes closed, listening to the quiet hum of something electrical somewhere above me.When my lashes finally lifted, the first thing I noticed was the ceiling.They were too white and too smooth.A strip of fluorescent light glowed faintly overhead, humming softly in a way that made the silence around it feel unnatural. I blinked slowly, trying to focus, but the brightness made my eyes water and I had to squint against it. Confusion crept into my mind as awareness began to settle in.This wasn’t my room.Or to be exact, this wasn't the room in the penthouse. The realization stirred uneasily in my
