This time around, he lost the battle with his composure and flung the phone into a corner, where it shattered.

He didn't pay it any mind, but instead, took big, deep breaths to calm himself down, and then he finished up with his dressing.

So much for his thinking that Amanda had someone else. Now, he wished that that was indeed the case and she had someone else to give some of her choking affections to so that he could breathe a little.

She was a big embarrassment to him, and it wasn't just because of her obscenely huge weight, but because of her addictions and total lack of self-control.

Each time he remembered the scene that she created at the prolific actor's birthday party that they had attended together, it felt like the earth should open up and swallow him.

Now, she had the grand delusion that they were in a loving relationship, and she had even gone as far as to suggest marriage to him, as well as to mention kids. Hell, no!

She was so desperate, and for some reason, he found hi

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   An unwanted visitor

    The press run went well enough. Steve answered the questions that were asked of him in a calm and confident tone, even though he felt anything but calm or confident.About halfway into the press run, his composure shattered like a fragile piece of glass that had been suddenly dropped onto hard tiles.His phone, which he had kept on the table in front of him, suddenly buzzed, and he picked it up out of habit and glanced at the screen.There was a new message, and the simple word in that message was a replica of the same word that was contained in the dozen or so messages that he had received in the past few days since all of this began.It read, CONFESS.Who was this and why was this person doing this to him? Why had this person, who clearly knew all about what he had done, kept quiet all these years, only to spring up out of the blues now?It made no sense at all. What did they want from him? It would have been easy and perfect if they wanted money because he would have gladly given i

    "Calm your titties, Steve, dear. Also, open your little gift, and tell me what all of this is about. It’s clear enough what it’s about, but I’d like to hear from the horse’s mouth … so to speak." She drawled. She was clearly enjoying herself immensely.Steve slowly dipped his hand into the parcel and brought out some of the papers it contained, his hands shaking.The first paper was a newspaper cutout of the news that reported the mysterious disappearance of the two hookers that he had killed while at the university.The second one was a somewhat clear picture of him carrying the body of one of them into his car, and the third one was the picture of him carrying the body of the second one into his car as well.He shuddered, unable to believe his eyes. How was it possible for the picture to be so clear that if someone knew what they were looking for, they would know immediately that he was the one in them?This picture had been taken over a decade ago and had been taken close to dawn t

    "So what's all of this about?" Amanda asked after Steve dumped the pictures on the chairs and sat down heavily."What do you think? You know very well what it's about. There's no need to pretend. So what now? Are you going to tell everyone?" Steve asked, bowing his head and sighing deeply like a man who carried the weight of the whole world on his head.Amanda stared at his bowed head, not feeling sorry for him in the least. It was what he got for choosing several different females over her over the years, before finally realizing what a gem she was."I don't think I have to do that. From the look of things, you already have someone who seems quite eager to do it. Did you really kill those women? One of them was the girl you were dating back then, wasn't it? It was because of her that you were arrested back then. You actually did it? Oh wow! You really are something else!" Amanda exclaimed, but she didn't sound particularly worried or scared that she was sitting with a cold-blooded mu

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   A new suspect

    It seemed to Steve that she was right and he had no other choice than to own up to what he had done, so he did just that, knowing that this meant that he was now indebted to Amanda for life. But if she could truly help him, then he sure as hell wouldn't mind. At least, it was better to be indebted to her than to spend a significant part, or even the rest of his life in prison for a crime that he had almost forgotten he committed. A crime that he had committed when he was young and stupid. He didn't deserve to go to jail for that. Amanda sat quietly and listened to him speak, nodding where necessary and mulling things over in her head. "Well, I think I only visited your house a few times, so I'm not exactly familiar with and won't remember the place, especially since a lot of time has passed. I'm not sure even you would remember the place that well again." She said a few minutes after he was done talking. "You're right." He replied humbly. There was this calmness and bravado that s

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   Conclusion

    Steve never complained outwardly to the man though, but assisted him whenever he requested financial help, which was beginning to be more frequent as time passed.A few days after Steve was discharged and acquitted of the crime of killing Victoria, he sold his house and moved away from that neighborhood without even informing the man, and he hadn't seen the man since then.So while they hadn't been the best of friends by any means, in Steve's opinion, he had been of immense help to the man, and it seemed highly unlikely that the man would be the one behind all this, but the fact remained that no one could be trusted nowadays."Tell me what you're thinking about. I can practically hear the wheels turning in your head." Amanda said, peering at him, and so he told her all about the man and what he observed from the way the pictures were taken. "Hmm. You're sure that the pictures that were gotten from the CCTV videos were taken from the side of your house that is beside his house?" She

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   Tongue-tied

    As far as Ava was concerned, she had to be the most confused female on God's green planet. There was no other explanation for her behavior and whatever the hell it was that went on in her mind and made her act the way that she did after Derek confessed his feelings to her."I love you, Ava. I just thought that you should know that." Derek had told her.From the hopeful expression on his face, it was clear that he would have liked a reply from her, but there wasn't one to be had.How could it be that all this while, she had longed for Derek to say those three magic words that she had never heard from him, and then when he finally did say them, all she could do was freeze and stare at him like a deer caught in headlights?He was a good man … she knew he was, and for him to open his mouth and actually say those words, then he most probably meant them, so why was she still afraid to accept him back and tell him how much she loved him too?Apparently, the tables had turned and whereas Dere

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   An awkward meeting

    Early the next morning, Amanda called Steve to find out if he was ready to leave, so that she could meet up with him at his place. When he replied in the affirmative, she set off for his place and not long after, arrived with a hefty man in tow.“Um … who the hell is that?” Steve asked as he and the stranger sized each other up.“He’s my friend, Logan. He’s going to be of big help to us.”“What the fuck is this, Amanda? It’s him I’m doing the job for?” Logan asked, clearly displeased.Amanda had some nerve. How dare she bring him to meet her boy toy with his pretty face without first giving him a warning.“Well, do you want the job or not? He’s going to pay you quite handsomely, aren't you, Steve?” Amanda asked Steve, smiling sweetly.“Uh-huh.” Steve replied non-committally, wondering what ‘the job’ was and deciding immediately that he was better off not knowing. Whatever it was, as long as it got him out of the predicament in which he found himself, then it was perfectly fine by him.

    "Do you think this is a wise thing to do? I mean, what are …” Steve began a little fearfully as they made their way over to the house, but Amanda shushed him.“Shut up, Steve. I didn’t peg you for a wuss. I’m almost convinced that the person who took that video used to live here. We’re going to find out information on where they could currently be. It's as simple as that. It's not as though we're doing anything illegal or dangerous.” Amanda replied in that same bossy tone that she had had since she found out about all of this.The tone failed to calm Steve down this time around though, and his heart pounded a mile a minute as they walked together towards the closed front door of the house.He had a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach ... like all was not well, and death was imminent, but that was crazy and he was just being paranoid.Soon enough, they were in front of the door, and Amanda raised her hand and rapped on the door a few times. There was silence for a while, and then

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   Back home

    A few days later, Derek was set to be discharged from the hospital. Everything felt so strange to him, and he felt a tad lonely.He had spent the last days of his hospital stay catching up on his present life or what it was supposed to be like.Nothing made sense to him, and he tried not to dwell too much on the grief that plagued him anytime he thought about his dad or the fact that the other remaining members of his family had turned out the way they had.Reading and watching all the pieces of news that he could gather about the whole incident, as well as asking tons of questions, made him not hurt as much as he would have at Denise's or Blair's death and Amanda's incarceration.He could not wrap his head around anyone doing what they had done, especially the fact that they kidnapped and tortured two innocent children, one of whom was his own daughter.He still had yet to meet his little girl, but he was going to see her that day when he got home.He was nervous as hell, about the m

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   Emotional

    Ava and Derek didn't get to continue the discussion for long after that, because Derek’s doctor came in and demanded that he needed to rest. Derek looked relieved at the doctor's words, and Ava realized that he needed some time to himself.She didn’t blame him, after all, everything she told him was enough to overwhelm even the strongest person.She was just thankful that he seemed to be handling things much better than he did after the accident.The next day when she came into the hospital room and spoke to him, he sounded all cheerful, even more cheerful than he used to sound before they had the previous day’s conversation, but Ava knew him very well and knew that he was forcing the cheeriness.Still, she gave him what he needed and pretended that everything was fine, so they talked about mundane things or just remained quiet when they ran out of things to say.Ava caught him staring at her several times, and his scrutiny made her feel a little self-conscious.She was aware that sh

    However, Derek simply nodded as though he had been expecting such an answer. She could see the pain in his eyes though, but he did his best to mask it."I guess I shouldn't be asking a total stranger this, but do you know what caused me to fall out with the rest of the family?" Derek asked."It's actually a long story, and one that in my opinion, should be saved for when you're much better and out of the hospital.""Nonsense! I'm much better already. Whatever you’re going to say can't be worse than the knowledge that the man I looked up to for most of my life is gone.""Oh, trust me, Derek. It’s much worse than that.” Ava told him. His eyes looked troubled at her words, but they were also defiant.“Okay, I believe you, but I still want to know.” “I think you should focus on recovering first. You have all the time in the world to find out what's been going on in the time frame that you can't remember. You could even be lucky to regain your memory at any time now, and there'd be

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   Awake

    He opened his mouth to ask her the questions he had in mind, but his burst of energy from earlier was rapidly reducing.He was suddenly beginning to feel really boneless and tired. In fact, it was becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of the conversation.“It’s okay, Derek. You can go to sleep. We’ll talk more when you wake up.” The woman told him.Her voice was so soothing and he loved the way she ran her hands through his hair ever so gently.It occurred to him that he shouldn’t be letting another woman touch him that way, but he was too sleepy to tell her to stop.It didn’t matter though, because a moment later, he was fast asleep. He didn’t get to talk to the woman until the next few days.Still, none of his family members had come to see him in the hospital, at least not that he knew of, since he was almost always sleeping.As the days passed, he felt well and alert enough for a conversation with the woman, who was the only person that was constantly around him.His emplo

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   A stranger

    Derek’s life currently seemed like one big joke to him. The doctor had talked to him about memory loss and some shit that he barely remembered, but he had a feeling that there was way more that the doctor hadn't talked about.After the doctor left, he had stared groggily at the television, certain that what he was seeing on the news was a figment of his imagination, or perhaps, it was caused by hallucinations because of his medications.He hadn't stepped out of his hospital room yet, but just from what he saw on the television, it felt like he had somehow stepped into the future, which in a way, he supposed was the case.Try as he might, he couldn't remember anything past the time when he was lying on the road in the freezing cold, with every part of his body in serious pain, while he waited for what he was sure was certain death, and cursed himself to hell and back for not being careful and getting into the accident.Apparently, though, he was very wrong, and almost a decade had pass

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   No walk in the park

    After several seconds had passed, during which Derek continued to stare at Ava with a polite but blank expression on his face, Ava decided that he was joking.After all, he had done the same thing the first time after he came out of his coma when Harper was still missing. So she uttered a small laugh and chastised him.“That’s not funny, Derek. How are you feeling?” She asked him, coming closer to the bed and placing a hand over his forehead when the doctor didn’t object to it.To her surprise and growing dismay, though, Derek moved his head away, or at least, tried to do so. It was obvious that he was too weak to manage it fully, but his intent was clear and that was that he didn't want to be touched by her.“Who are you? Do we know each other?” He croaked out.She could sense fear in his voice, and when he continued to speak without giving her a chance to respond, she understood why he sounded fearful.“Madam, please. I was on my way to my parent’s place when I got into an accident.

  • The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge   Confused

    Luckily enough, the surgery was successful, at least, according to what the doctors told Ava.She wasn’t a professional, so she had no way of knowing if this was correct or not, as Derek had been placed in a medically induced coma by the doctors until he was better.All she knew was that he lay in the hospital bed day in, day out, looking as white and still as a corpse, with the machines breathing for him.As for her, she had made a hasty recovery, which was probably fueled by the need to be present to look after Derek herself, and her flesh wound from the gunshot had all but healed.Although all the threats to Derek's life had been eliminated, so to speak, she still had this irrational fear that some other person who had some beef with him was going to sneak into the hospital and snuff the life out of him.Unfortunately, however, since he was in the ICU, she couldn’t be with him as much as she wanted, which made the whole experience even more scary and traumatic, as she had no idea w

    “It was by sheer luck, if not, they never would have found you on time, and what would have happened then does not bear thinking about. Apparently, they managed to arrest the guy that Amanda initially hired to do all this sometime yesterday.Once the asshole realized that there was no chance in hell that he would get out of this and that he was well and truly done for, he began to sing like a canary. He led the police right to the house, and the rest, as they say, is history. I'm so thankful we got there on time.” Damien said.“Yeah, me too. It’s still hard to believe that Amanda could be filled with so much hate in her heart and that she was willing to go to such lengths to harm Derek, me, and even our child who has done nothing to her.”“I was surprised as well. I always knew that she was a mean person, but I never imagined that she was downright evil. I'm glad you followed through on your instinct.”“Me too. So is Amanda still …” Ava asked, unable to finish the question.“Unfortuna

    Mother and daughter hugged each other for what felt like decades, and when they finally pulled apart, Ava's arm was hurting where she had been shot."I'm so sorry, baby. No one will ever hurt you again, I promise. Not when I'm alive." Ava said, ruffling Harper's hair, and wincing when she saw where the area on her head that had been shaved because of an injury there."The bad woman hit me with a gun. She shot Uncle Steve with the gun. Uncle Steve wanted to run away with me and Gracie, Mom." Harper explained, noting that Ava's eyes were on the wound.Ava gulped and averted her gaze immediately, unable to imagine the horror that Harper and Gracie had been through. Little children like them should never have to see someone murdered in cold blood.Seeing such a thing messed with even grownups like her, not to talk of children.The girls were going to need loads of therapy. Once again, Ava damned Amanda and Denise to hell and back in her mind. Suddenly, she realized the implications o
