THE EX - WIFE'S RECKONING CHAPTER 88
Camera flashes flickered endlessly as important personalities made their way to the red carpet. A popular artfavouritee in, Naomi couldn't behowhere ld her eyes. “Look! That is my favourite arti,st,” Naomi whispered to her co—worker, then stood up to wave from a distance,. Surprisingly, the artist caught her waving. Immediately, she squinted her eyes a bit, and began moving towards Naomi. Her heavy security detail made it much easier for her to push through the cheering crowd.Naomi felt overwhelmed that she stopped breathing on noticing her favorite was walking to the spot she was standing.Soon, the gap closed. “Tracy the designer who did the wedding gown design and the live reveal presentation right?” She asked.Shocks ran across her stomach floor out of excitement. She got her act together and responded, calmly with a bright smile, “Yes, I am Tracy.”“Oh, nice to meet you.” She said adjusting her diamond ring to sit well in her index finger. “I have heard about the other grou

“Today, I have given my all, everything my parents sacrificed their lives for to give me the best life. I am handing it all to you in exchange for my identity hiding behind this irrevocable mask I did not choose. All I ask of you is simple, Clara. Don't stab me on the back again. Isn't that simple?”She stretched a brown—yellow box, made of raffia palm—like leaves with a decoration of the 19th Century, displaying a King and Queen, standing tall next to a mirror, taking a glance at themselves.Clara took the box with a steely smile that graduated into a cheeky one.“You're such a good child.” Clara said, “Yeah, and a good-old-time friend.”“No. Thanks.” Naomi cut in crossing her arms.“I will take my leave now.” Naomi ended the conversation before it escalated into an exchange of vulgar words as her insides were steaming hot.“Sure, darling. You're always great at making great choices, in time. Get going, Cinderella.” She giggled, mockingly, then turned on her heels and walked through
THE EX - WIFE'S RECKONING CHAPTER 86
“Look who we have here.” A voice shot from a distance as multiple footsteps approached the spot where Naomi was having a conversation with the receptionist; soon, the whole room brightened with a choking fragrance that sneaked into every nose in the hallway. All heads moved in the direction of the busty lady who wore a skin-fitting dark gown, swaying her hips from side to side, walking briskly with poise. Soon, she came to a halt, stretched her phone to her left. One of the men who was dressed in black, holding a walkie-talkie, picked up the phone from her palm.“Hey, Clara.” Naomi let out, with uncertainty written all over her face. Unsure if it was the same girl, she lived under the same roof as the one standing before her. She had to choose her words carefully.Clara smirked, bringing herself to the counter to lean in and said, “I like how your lips quiver when you're unsure of how to address the soon–to–be Mrs Damian.” A cunning wink followed.Silence stretched. Naomi kept readi
THE EX - WIFE'S RECKONING CHAPTER 85
The wedding is in two weeks and my best girl didn't cough a word about her engagement, nor did she feel guilty for pulling such a snitchy behaviour. Gosh! Naomi threw herself on the bed, still drowned in her own thoughts.Her heart ached profusely each time the thought of how she was ordered to handle customising the wedding dress, bridal trend dress, and even the groom's suit style to fit the thirst of the soon-to-be husband and wife, the bridal train and the groomsmen. They had only resolved to settle for Naomi since Natasha was away for other engagements, far off.As though they didn't know who was the main brain behind all the outstanding, award-winning, attention-grabbing clothes designs that have been carrying the name of The DV'S FASHION HOUSE to the world.They had to play along, as the courtesy demanded, visit and seek Natasha’s magical touch first. Maybe, she'll pass the job to the main brain—Tracy.Tracy became the widely respected, even as the least senior staff member in
THE EX - WIFE'S RECKONING CHAPTER 84
“I thought we were in this together, Damian?How dare you stab me twice? Once bitten. Once bitten….”Eyes opened, facing the ceiling boards that happened to whirl in circles for a while, making the bed stand feel like it were sinking into a pool of water below. Her arms felt feeble and not ready to coordinate a single move, not even a jerk. Her eyes blinked twice, trice. “Damian,” she whispered below her breath. That name had been far away from her lips for the past 3 years. Why the sudden strange encounter with him in her dreams lately?Strange. Her heart throbbed on recalling she had an encounter with her mother, Mrs Laurent, in that same dream.Each time she had random dreams about a long-forgotten person, she would usually have an encounter with such a person. A few times, great encounter, many other times, it turns out to be an ugly clash.****The news around town is that Damian is back in town, big and better!Should she cry or frown? Things were about to get ugly. Now, with
THE EX - WIFE'S RECKONING CHAPTER 83
The tension about Tracy's true identity rustled into every ear at the DV’s Fashion House. Slowly, the once most loved staff became an object of resentment. Rumours about a one-time serial killer who fled her hometown came fresh on the news. Scepticism wasn't negotiable, as the word around town about the anonymity of this serial killer boldened with few words — she lives amongst you now.Who could this be? An unsung question remained as everyone at the DV’s House kept alert. And there came a new slogan when Jay Cobbs addressed the House — “watch the watcher.”Naomi has been walking on eggshells and was relieved of her extra duty of babysitting Carmen. He was a big boy now, as Ethan claimed.Still, the big boy never stopped asking after Naomi each passing day. He hallucinated by day and slept and talked at night. His only friend had been taken away and ordered to keep arm's length, as he had heard from the balcony that very evening when she visited to babysit him.Now, his mother jumpe

Flickers of lights fled to every nook and cranny of the room. Thunder claps danced to the rhythmic lights that consistently changed colours from red to blue to green at five-second successive intervals.At the sudden lash of a powerful thunderclap, a tall shadow appeared, fitting the door frame per

Naomi’s heart pounded in her chest as Damian sipped his whiskey, eyes sharp with amusement while he watched her. Every nerve in her body screamed at her to stay calm, to act natural. She could feel the weight of his gaze drifting over her like he was playing a game.“I must say,” he murmured, setti

Naomi’s hands trembled slightly as she turned the card toward him. The words were elegantly scripted, but the message was anything but refined.Meet me on the rooftop alone. Or someone you love will suffer.Her stomach twisted. Damian wasn’t bluffing. He never did.Ethan took the card from her, rea

“Just like that? I will lose everything my father has ever toiled for over a careless woman with low self-esteem? Darn! What was I thinking? Love? Haha… I must have been a fool for letting a mere word like ‘wife’ mess my life up. I am more pained that I needed to stay married to meet the condition
