The Ex-wife’s little revenge

Lila's POVThe soft harm of the restaurant's sweet music filled my ears, but it didn't reach my heart. My hands trembled slightly as I adjusted the napkin on the table, a nervous habit I hadn't noticed until now. It was our fifth anniversary. Five years of love, laughter and promises.. I had prepared everything to perfection, picked out the flowers—his favorite of course. The candles were arranged just right, making the intimate setting I have chosen so beautiful and lively.The candles were sweet scented and very expensive but they were worth it for this special occasion.We had made a special reservation in the most expensive restaurants in the city. La Momento was a restaurant for the rich only.I checked the time again. 8:30 p.m. he had said he would be there by now. Seth never broke his promises and I believed in him, tonight I had news and it wasn't just our anniversary, but I knew this beautiful life changing news would make him happy.I swallowed down the excitement that bubbl

Lila's POVMaybe I didn't hear right. But the smile still plastered on Chloe's lips told me that I just did. My heart just shattered and my world crumbled before me in minutes into thousands of irreplaceable pieces.This wasn't happening.I refuse to believe it.I could have wanted anything, would want them to get married to each other if they wished but this, this was cruel, this was betrayal.Chloe was pregnant with Seth's child, it was hard for me to understand. What have I ever done to her? I had loved her as a sister ever since we were little, a knot tightened in my stomach and breathing was difficult.I shouldn't stand here and listen to them mock me.As I left that restaurant away from him, my hands were shaking and my legs were trembling.Leaving the man I thought would be my forever .

Selene's POV. Laughter, clinking glasses and the quiet murmur of pending business transactions filled the ballroom as we got in. Everything was perfect tonight. The polished floors were bathed in a gentle golden glow from the large chandeliers above and the whole space was glistening with luxury thanks to the tasteful décor. I had every right to be here as a distinguished guest. It wasn’t just about the event though tonight. Seth was at the center as well as Chloe. I watched the people mingle as I stood by the window enjoying the cool breeze. I ran my finger along the rim of my glass, the champagne within glistened as I thought about the lies I was about to reveal. I had been planning for five years and waiting for this night to finally have my reckoning. Just a few paces separated me from the man I had once loved and who had deceived me. This time though Seth would come to regret ever believing he could shatter me. I had created the ideal strategy. Every component was in its p

Selene's POVAs I made my way to the conference room, the sound of my heels clicking reverberated through the marble corridor. My steps were confident and measured as they ought to be. Long shadows are cast on the boardroom's sleek contemporary furnishings by the afternoon sun's soft filtered light from the large windows that line the walls.I had been gradually building this empire and today I was going to write another important chapter. I had been putting in a lot of overtime behind the scenes to get ready for this. Establishing my position as a significant player in the fashion industry would be greatly aided by this agreement and collaboration. But it was more than just business. It had to do with power. About command. About being able to control the very people who had attempted to destroy me at last. The conference room door opened and I walked in instantly filling the room with my presence.With his back to me Jason stood near the window gazing out at the expansive city below

Selene's POV.Every one of the city lights that flickered beneath me like far-off stars as I sat in my penthouse served as a reminder of the immense power at my fingertips. Everything I had fought for including my plans, my empire and my retaliation was bearing down on me.However Seth and Chloe were the one thing that prevented me from winning hands down as usual. They gave me everything I wanted but they also caused me irreversible pain.Years had been spent carefully preparing how I would dismantle them one by one and now the time had come. But as I sat there the buzzing of my phone broke the stillness and my heart skipped a beat when I saw the name on the screen.It wasn't a name I anticipated hearing again. It was Victor Hale. As someone who had been burned by Seth and Chloe’s manipulations long before I was, Victor was an old enemy of theirs. He had connections, money and a reputation for being brutal making him a significant player in the fashion industry. Years had passed sin
