The Ex-Wife's Revenge

JANE'S POV

“Where’s Gray?” I asked the maid as I held my father’s urn. 

I just went back from the funeral home where my father’s remain was cremated. As an only daughter, no one was with me as I processed everything regarding his death. Even my husband, who was always so busy with his family’s business, didn’t come with me.

“He is upstairs, Ma’am. Do you want me to call him for you? He just got back from his office,” the maid offered, but I shook my head to refuse. With tears trickling down my face, I went upstairs to see him, hoping that maybe tonight, now that my father was dead, he would be here to comfort me.

“Ooh, Gray! I like that! Please, I wanna cum so bad!”

“I’ll make you cum, Hazel…”

Standing at the doorway, my hands shook as I tried to convince myself that this was not our room. I refused to believe that Gray would bring another woman here. Not in our household. But no matter how I tried to fool myself that this was not happening, their moans were becoming louder as time passed. I held my breath tight and opened the door.

“Oh, Gray! Please, I am cumming!”

“Ah, Hazel!”

How could they do this to me?

Tears cascaded down my cheeks as I saw my husband on our bed, topping Hazel, his newly hired secretary. The two were oblivious to my presence, but later on, Hazel noticed me standing at the doorway.

“G-Gray!”

The woman got alarmed, making her push my husband off the bed. She picked her clothes up and got dressed, her eyes couldn’t meet mine. Gray’s eyebrows were furrowed as he turned in my direction, seemingly bothered by his secretary’s sudden reaction.

“What are you doing here?” he asked, his tone filled with annoyance. I looked at him in disbelief. Where did he get the audacity to ask that?

“What do you mean by that, Gray? My father just died! I am expecting you to fucking comfort me but this is what I come home to!” I exclaimed, my veins almost popping out. With my hands shaking, I put my father’s urn on the table and went to his secretary. I was about to hit her when Gray’s calloused hand stopped my palm.

“Do not fucking stop me, Gray! I gave you everything! How could you? My father just died and you are here cheating—”

“Cheating on you? What do you mean, Jane? We have made it clear that I will never love a woman like you!” he cut me off. I tried hard to cast his hand away, but Gray was undeniably stronger than me and he didn’t make an effort to make me fall on the ground.

“How could you, Gray? We have been married for three years and this is what you’re going to pay me? I have been nothing but a loyal wife to you! How could you cheat on me with Hazel?”

Hazel was one of the people I trusted the most. I didn’t expect her to betray me! How could she repay my kindness with this? I could not believe them!

“Oh, you wanna know why? Because she’s not a trying hard like you. She does not pretend to be a reserved woman… like you.”

With that, he turned his back on me and picked up his clothes. With tears in my eyes, I stood up and regained my composure, hiding how broken I was right now. Hazel could not meet my eyes until my husband entered the bathroom, leaving me alone with his mistress.

“Are you hurt, Jane?”

The audacity of this woman to ask? My lips trembled as I shot her with a piercing glaze.

“Who gave you the right to call me by my name? You are nothing but a filthy whore! A woman who lured my husband into something... nasty!” 

She crossed her arms across her chest, laughing at me.

“Lured your husband? You were the one who recommended me to him. You made me closer to him, Jane. And… is it my fault that you could not satisfy him?”  

My lips trembled as I tried to suppress my sobs. She was right. I was the one who recommended her to Gray. I found her as a regular but hard-working employee. She impressed me, that was why I told my husband about her in hopes that I would be a help to him. I didn’t know that this wench was nothing but a snake. A fucking traitor and a user!

“That’s right! I was the one who put you in that position, but I didn’t expect that this is your way of saying thank you, Hazel! Of all people, why does it have to be Gray? He’s a married man!” 

“Oh, don’t worry about him being married to you, Jane. Gray would be free from you soon…” she stated, making my eyebrows furrow. Gray would be free from me? What does she mean? I had been married to him for two years and there was never a time that I caged him at home. I gave him the freedom he wanted!

I blinked my eyes rapidly as I watched Hazel walk toward the bedside table as if she owned this room. My heart hurt at the thought. Since when did my husband start fucking this woman? Since when did he start putting dirt in our room?

“There… Take a look at that.”

I was pulled out of my thoughts when Hazel aggressively threw papers at me. I didn’t have the time to react to her disrespect, as I was shaken when I saw what was printed on it. 

“You see that? Once you sign those papers, Gray will be forever free from you. He would no longer suffer being married to you, Jane—” 

“I said don’t fucking call me by my name! You are nothing but a mere secretary. Do you think fucking my husband would make you his wife? Do you think his family would like you once they know your social status? You were nothing before I made you his secret—”

“Enough! Who do you think you are to threaten Hazel? You don’t have the right to speak so high and mighty about your stand in this family, Jane! We all know where you stand. I have never loved you as my wife!” 

Both of us were interrupted when Gray went out of the bathroom. Compared to what he looked like a while ago, he now appeared more decent. His piercing gaze was directed at me, seemingly loathing my entire being.

“What’s the meaning of this, Gray? You’re divorcing me for this woman? You’re gonna go this far?” I stated, my voice trembling. 

“Well, what else do you want me to do with you? Your father is now dead. We are only married in papers. I never loved you. You know that, Jane.”

I could not believe him! I spent years of my life satisfying him. I endured his family’s insults in hopes that they would accept me. He was my only hope in this family, as he was the one tied to me. But what is happening now? He fucked one of the people I trusted… and now he would divorce me? He was so fucking cruel!

“You can’t do this to me, Gray—”

“I said enough!” 

Tears were flowing like waterfalls as Gray got ahold of my arm and forcefully made me leave our house. He only let go of my hand when I was already outside, shivering in the cold. 

“Leave this house and don’t ever show your face to us again! We are getting divorced soon, so don’t even tell people that you are part of my family. That you are still my wife, you disgusting whore!” 

Hearing that made my forehead knot. Of all the insults that he called me, I could not fathom how this was the only thing that confused and hurt me at the same time. Disgusting whore? I didn’t even like another man aside from him!

“W-What? What do you mean, Gray?” I asked, stuttering. Since when did I become a whore? For goodness sake, he was the only man I had loved for years!

“Oh, stop acting like you don’t know. I am not a fool, Jane. Now, get the fuck away from me and leave my house! I don’t want to see you ever again!”

Gray turned his back on me and walked away until my blurry eyes could no longer see him anymore. I wanted to follow him so badly, but coming back to that house would surely do me nothing but accusations. No matter what I say, he would never like me. His family would never like me.

With shaking knees, I wandered under the dark sky, the cold breeze hitting my pale-white skin. Thunders rang my ear, but the sound of my heart beating was so loud that the noise surrounding me was becoming muffled. 

Gradually, raindrops fell onto my skin. I embraced my body due to the cold. My mind seemed to be blank, unable to think clearly due to what just happened. I had nowhere to go. 

I walked barefoot, having no idea how was I gonna survive tonight. Oh, how I wished someone would kill me this instant. That way, I would be able to be with my father. I would not suffer like this. 

As I was walking, the thunder was suddenly replaced by a loud honk. I shifted my gaze to the side—only to see a bright light coming from an unfamiliar car. It was driving towards me at speed. My body froze. I felt like my feet were rooted to the ground, making me unable to walk away.

It was as if God had heard what I wanted, as the car collided with my body with force. Waves of excruciating pain shattered my being. My head was dizzy and I knew I would doze off anytime now. And as I was about to close my eyes, the car’s door opened. My sight was blurry, but I would never go wrong if I said that the familiar-looking woman walking towards me was no other than my husband’s secretary, Hazel.

“Oh, you’re still alive? I knew this would happen. Good thing I brought this...” she stated, holding a bat that would surely destroy my skull once it hit me. I tried to scream for help, but no sound would come out of my mouth.

“You know what? I pity you so much. I actually don’t wanna do this, but Gray hated you so much that he wants to get rid of you completely…”

Gray? Does kicking me out of my house and divorcing me not satisfy him enough? How could he ask someone to kill his wife who did nothing but care for him?

“Poor Jane. Once I successfully kill you, we will be forever free from you. Goodbye, Jane Williams…”

A lone tear escaped from my eyes as I began to close it, my heart unwillingly accepting my sorrowful end. As a powerful blow hit my head, memories of the past years played in my mind. It was funny how all I could remember was my suffering. There was not even a single happy day during my marriage. 

Is this what you want, Gray? Is this what your family wanted? To get rid of me? Dying with bitterness made my heart filled with rage. If I were given another chance to live, I would make sure that all the pain I had been feeling right now would go back to them. 

Especially him. My ex-husband. Gray Moore. I would not spare anyone from your family. I will make sure you will pay for this.
