The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER 22: THE BOARDROOM MEETING
Selene’s POVOnce I was thrown aside like I was nothing and now I stood in front of the tall glass building.I wasn't the woman pleading for a seat this time though. The entire table belonged to me. My black suit fit me like a glove and my heels clicked purposefully. With my hair pulled back in a low ponytail, I looked focused, tidy and sharp.I had chosen this outfit because it made me look powerful. Today there was no softness. Nothing but steel and power. After adjusting the shoulders of my coat, Nina gave me the file.“Every board member is present. They are waiting for you.”“Excellent, “I replied. Ruth gently fixed my blouse collar. “You don't have to prove anything to them “I looked at my reflection in the glass window and a smile spread across my lips.“Let's watch and see.” I said.Together with Nina and Leon I entered the elevator. We remained silent. This was more than just a meeting they knew, we all did, I was here to show them who I was.I had been preparing for this
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER TWENTY ONE: LIES
Selene’s POVOur table seemed like it was a silent war room despite the cafés serene exterior. Ruth's brow was furrowed in concentration as she typed quickly on her laptop. Leon was sipping his espresso and looking through his phone's news feeds.Nina was standing behind me taking brief notes while mumbling into her headset.The encounter wasn't informal. We were getting ready for a powerful blow. My hands were clasped around a hot cup of tea as I sat quietly but my mind was alert.The second media leak had caused Chloe's business to tremble. Sponsors halted transactions, investors withdrew and their legal team was frantically trying to stem the flow. However it wasn't enough, I wanted more of it.Ruth continued to look at her screen as she spoke.“Her lawyers just filed a request to block any more leaks.”“I think they are desperate,” Leon whispered. “This indicates that it is effective and they felt the blow.”Nina lowered her phone to add .“She has also scheduled a live intervi
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER TWENTY: BLAZING FIRE
Selene’s POVThe following morning began without an alarm.I think I set the alarm before going to bed and maybe it rang without waking me or maybe I had knocked it away sleepily.I turned to the other side. My sheets didn't have the sun rays stretching across them.The loud noise from beside me was the first thing that woke me up.It was from my phone, not from the outside.Bzzzz.Bzzzz.BzzzzzzJason stirred beside me.“That must be Ruth.”I hardly opened my eyes as I reached over and grabbed it. Seventeen calls were missed.Three voicemails.Ruth: It's all over Selene. It is burning. You must watch this. With sleep still slipping from my body I sat up quickly.The remote was already in Jason's grasp. After turning on the television he switched to the news channel we frequently watched.And it was there.NEWS FLASH: Leaked Document Verifies Sinclair Was Aware of Everything. Experts Predict This Will Break Her in the Chloe Sinclair Scandal.A board member resigns following the
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER 19: CALMNESS
Selene’s POVMy bare shoulder was warmed by the soft morning sun that came in through the windows. The afterglow from last night still enveloped my body. I blinked slowly. I didn't know when I had fallen asleep, I had laid on the bed, trying to think and then fell asleep.I exhaled and felt like going back to sleep.Jason's arms around my waist were sturdy and the sheets felt good against my skin. He had already woken. His fingers were making tiny slow circles on my lower back and I loved that feeling and wanted him to continue because it made me forget everything for a while.“Good morning lovely,” he whispered as he planted a kiss on the top of my shoulder.I smiled into the pillow and I said.“Good morning.”This moment had an air of tranquility to it, the way our legs were intertwined, the city's gentle hum outside. And the serenity of being by my beloved's side. This was peace, this was what many craved for and I didn't want it to end.Jason turned his head toward me.“Did you
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
