The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: THAT NIGHT
Selene’s POVThat night I didn't get much sleep. Jason was at my side, his arms wrapped securely and warmly around my waist but my thoughts would not stop swirling and fighting each other. I continued to stare at the wall clock as it approached dawn, waiting for the time when the storm will start.I fell asleep and woke up at precisely 7:45 amI quietly stepped onto the cold floor of my home office after slipping out of bed. I reloaded the browser on my laptop. And there it was on every major news page, the headline displayed in bold black letters.BREAKING NEWS: Financial Crimes and Fraud Accused of CEO of Sinclair Cosmetics. I gazed at it for several moments and a broad smile came on my lips.That is it. The start of the end for them.I wasn't too concerned with getting dressed up. Nothing but slippers and a cozy grey robe. After making a cup of black coffee for myself, I returned to the screen. It was already being discussed by the news hosts.I almost jumped for joy. This is g
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER 17: CHEERS TO PEACE
Selene’s POVI entered my apartment barefoot and the environment was serene, the slight smell of saltwater clinging to my skin, the wind still in my hair. Jason and I were the only people on the beach and it had been quiet and I loved it.There are no boardrooms. No spoilers. No conflicts. Only his hand in mine and the sound of the waves encircling us. It had been a long time since I had felt. . . secure and I yearn to feel like this again and again. But now reality sets in. He opened a glass of wine and poured it for both of us. I watched the city below.From above, it appeared stunning but I knew the reality. There were betrayals, masks and lies beneath the lights and I had to overcome them all.The storm that I had been keeping inside was now clamoring to come out. I was given a glass by Jason as he approached.“To promote peace,” he said softly. I smiled as I accepted it. “For war too.”“You are really serious about this.” He laughed.I nodded.Now is the moment. I had given Ch
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER SIXTEEN: CALM OCEAN
Selene's povI blinked slowly. The sun was shining through my windows when I woke up and I could feel Jason's hand gently stroking my back and then it moved under my arm and took a nipple and played with it.It made me shuddered. He had been awake for some time and seemed to be taking his time learning every inch of me by his languid playful touch. I was lying on my stomach naked beneath the sheets, tangled in them. Sweat and a sweet scent filled the air which could have been either love or desire. “Good morning, my love.” He whispered and planted a gentle kiss on my shoulder. I looked in his direction. I gave a small smile and cuddled, enjoying the peace and quiet. A devilish grin twisted his lips. “You alright?” I gave a small nodded and our eyes kicked for some time and I saw the desire in them, the same desire that just made me wet.“Why are you asking ?” I asked seductively and traced my fingers along his bare chest, he grinned and he climbed on top of me before I could say
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER 15: THE STORM IN HIS EYES
Selene's povWhen I heard the knock it had already passed midnight. And I didn't know who it was. It was definitely not the maids because I had told them that I didn't want any kind of disturbance.It was soft and hesitant. I froze in place right in front of the mirror. My hair was loose and untidy from my hands raking it through all night and my silk robe clung to me. I was unable to sleep, restless and caught between guilt and memories. It was him I knew.Jason.I approached the door slowly. My heart was beating so loudly that I feared he could hear it over the woods. I briefly thought about acting as though I wasn't in my room but he had known. As if it had decided without my input, my hand nevertheless reached for the handle. His eyes were heavy with something I couldn't place when I opened the door, perhaps pain or loneliness or maybe desire.“Selene.” He breathed as if calling my name would ease his pain. I took a large swallow.“ Why are you here?”I had to see you. “I couldn
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER 14: STRATEGY
Selene's povThe first headline slammed home. Immediately, I saw it that morning, a smile spread through my lips.I stared at the headline which read:‘The cosmetics company of Chloe Sinclair is being scrutinized for allegedly using funds illegally.’Even though what was about to happen was merely a whisper or hint. It was enough however to get the media talking.The TV screen in front of me was softly glowing as I watched the news unfold, illuminating the otherwise dark room as I sipped a cup of coffee. I let myself smile for the first time in weeks. It was tiny and hardly perceptible but it was on my face and it filled me with so much happiness and joy. Chloe was rushing and so was Seth. I had security cameras installed so I could see everything.Despite Chloe's team's best efforts to project a calm glamorous image, there was a hint of panic in every phone call and email. Seth who is always the mastermind was occupied with making his own phone calls, in an attempt to buy his way ou
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER THIRTEEN: I RELEASED THE STORM
Selene's pov As I sat in my home office, I watched the city below me move through the large window. Life continued on as usual with cars honking and people passing by but not for me. For me everything was different. Jason continued to send messages. I didn't want to read them and one of the messages he had sent had said that he would want us to go on a dinner date.I didn't want to and I didn't want to go home either.I had to maintain my concentration. Now getting revenge wasn't just a plan. The only thing that kept me steady was the love that Jason had for me. I opened the little drawer next to me after taking a deep breath. I didn't often use the black phone that was inside. It was safe, untraceable and clean. I hit a single button. Only once did it ring. “Ms Selene .”.Nina replied on the other end. Her voice was calm and cool, she was never in a rush. “ It's time.Give it all to me.” I muttered.Chloe had been using Nina as her personal assistant for the last eight months. Nina
The Ex-wife’s little revenge Chapter 12: Fallout follows
The boardroom was quiet now but I could still hear Chloe's shaky voice and from the corner of my eyes, I could see Seth's terrified face and he was really sweating.I was unaware of the commotion I had just caused, the city below buzzed. I have been painted as weak, broken and replaceable by Chloe and Seth. But I wasn't that and I had shown them today how mistaken they were. My eyes were cold and my voice steady and my words were incisive enough to cut through flesh. And there was nowhere for them to run to when I presented all the proof of their deceit and treachery.Even Seth's slick tongue was insufficient to save them, he was just looking like the fool that he is. The quiet that followed me back to my office was deafening though. My phone buzzed again.Jason.For the fifth time today. I kept staring at it until the screen ceased vibrating. He too had sent messages. Lots of messages and the usual love messages.The other messages read: ‘Selene please talk to me. It is not as it a
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER ELEVEN-THE CONFRONTATION
Selene's POVI was struck with the enormity of what was going to happen as soon as I entered the boardroom. Although the polished floors shone in the gentle illumination, the rooms' sleek pricey furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows gave off an air of detachment much like everything else in the game. That was appropriate. I had been preparing for this moment for years and now I was finally in charge. Neither Seth nor Chloe knew what was going to happen. When I entered they had already taken their seats, their gazes lifted from the papers strewn across the conference table.As she gazed at me Chloe's exquisitely manicured smile momentarily wavered. Seth attempted to maintain an expressionless expression as usual but I could see the glimmer of recognition in his eyes. I could tell he knew this would not be a casual meeting by the moment he hesitated before his jaw tightened. Chloe said in a tone that was a combination of surprise and phony composure. “This is unexpected’’ .I didn't
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER TEN-BETRAYAL
Selene's POV I had always taken great satisfaction in maintaining my composure. Regarding everything. My plans, my business, my feelings. This empire was something I had carefully constructed and nothing or no one could bring it down. Not Chloe, not Seth and most definitely not my emotions. I was not going to let the advantage slip away from me. So I believed. It took place on a Thursday afternoon. I had just concluded a meeting with Victor. I could almost taste Seth and Chloe’s demise and our alliance was growing stronger every day. I began to believe that nothing could stop me from pursuing the plan. Then I saw something that broke everything. I was reviewing the most recent financial forecasts at work when I noticed a familiar face outside my penthouse office window. Jason. He was talking to someone while approaching a car with his hand on the door. I initially didn't give it much thought. However I later recognized the other individual. Seth. I watched them freeze, my heart po
