The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER 29: THE OTHER MAN
Selene’s POVI threw myself into working late nights, fueled by coffee and a fierce determination. Leon and Nina were around to help and their loyalty were unimaginable.“The pitch for the global expansion fund is tomorrow,” Ruth said to me while bringing me back to reality. Her voice filled with excitement . “This is it, Selene. The big leagues.”I nodded as I reviewed the projections for the last time. “I know. We need a lead investor who understands our vision, someone who is not afraid to disrupt the old guard.”The air in the boardroom was thick with anticipation. Sunlight streamed through the panoramic windows to the faces of the assembled investors. Most were the usual suspects – stern, analytical and their expressions giving nothing away. Suddenly a man walked in which made all attention divert towards him, including mine.If I said he was not charming then that will be me lying to myself. He was not just attracting; his presence was a force of nature. Tall with an easy smil
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER 28: SECRETS IN THE SHADOWS
Selene’s POVNew York city was still buzzing on a Tuesday evening while I was in my office when Nina and Leon hurriedly came in. Their expression a mix of exhilaration and grim realization.“You would not believe what we found Selene,” Nina said almost at the top of her voiceLeon ever the calmer one had simply placed a small, sleek burner phone on my desk.Picking it, I turned it over in my hand. “What is it?”“It belongs to one of Chloe’s security detail,” Leon explained while leaning against the edge of my desk. “Nina was almost caught getting it.”My blood ran cold. “Nina, what did you do?”Nina grinned, a wild reckless glint in her eyes. “Chloe’s secret warehouse. We knew she had a private one, off-site.”And I thought if we could get in, we might find something more interesting than what we already had.”“She went in alone,” Leon starting to explain , his tone mixed with a little exasperation. “I was supposed to be her eyes and ears from the outside, but she moved too fast.”Nin
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER 27: A FRIEND'S BETRAYAL
Selene's POV“You would not believe it, Angela,” I said leaning back in my office chair. Angela, my very close friend and confidant was seated across from me sipping her usual black coffee with her eyes fixed on me.“Spare no details darling and tell me everything,” she said, as her voice was soft and reassuring.Her words gave me a genuine smile that rarely made an appearance these days. “It Is just… Chloe. Despite in hiding she is still a thorn in my side. Every move I make, she seems to anticipate it.” It’s just as if she is watching my every move. “But, right now, I think i have her cornered. There is a plan which she will never see coming.”Angela’s eyebrows rose while listening to me. “I am loving this plan already” tell me more.“Well,” I began as i leaned forward conspiratorially, “i have put together a proposal for the investors. “A proposal so enticing, so lucrative, which they can never refuse”. I know it is a bold move because it involves a complete restructuring
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER 26: WAITING TO STRIKE BACK
Chloe’s POVWe didn't do it out of rage but just habitThere were so many things occupying both our minds though.Seth and I didn't share a bed that night. Yes we were married. But something colder had long since supplanted love. Not resentment, not even hatred. We were just understanding. We were not in need of love.We just needed to sort ourselves out of this mess.Seth took the study and I remained in the master suite. We always performed at our best in that manner, separately and attentively. I was wearing my robe and standing by the window that night gazing at the rolling waves of the ocean in the moonlight.In one hand, I was holding a cup of black tea and in the other my phone.A new message had been sent by Vincent:Weak entry point verified, payroll information base, cleaned it up.Grinning, I typed a brief response:Continue. I need Selene's schedule, call logs and upcoming project proposals.Selene had always enjoyed organizing things on her own. She thought she could brin
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER 25: PLANNING TO OVERTAKE
Chloe's POVI hated silence.I hated it when everywhere becomes so quiet and makes it look like you are in a cemetery or something . Those kind causes your heart to race and fill your ears. It was the kind of silence that comes when everything around you has fallen apart, the kind that creeps under your skin. Now that quiet followed me everywhere. In the corner of my rented villa, I sat by myself on a velvet chair and gazed out at the sea.Calm blue waves smashed against the rocks. The curtains moved gently in the breeze. I didn't get any of it though. It didn't seem real.Even the crystal champagne glass I sipped from tasted bitter. There was no more sweetness. No glitz, it had just the taste of failure nothing more. This is the kind of room I had before I had to run away from the media , fashion shows, yachts and mansions. I was the embodiment of success and elegance. People stood up straighter when I walked in and even spoke more softly. Right now I was just another woman trying
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER 24: DEEP THOUGHTS
Seth's POVSweat and cheap whiskey filled the room. I was in a hotel sitting on a dusty leather couch far away from the city away from the cameras, the lawyers and the headlines that used to adore me.God.How did I come to this, I never expected it at all.Not from anyone, not from Selene.The hotel was the cheapest and also the safest I could find and later, I and Chloe would find somewhere perfect.The walls were aged and yellow.The curtains were unable to close correctly. On the carpet there were stains I didn't want to look at because they disgusted me.However I could now only afford it, no lavish place or expensive food and wine or whatever.I still couldn't believe that Seth, the former CFO of Sinclair Cosmetics, was hiding like a rat. I gazed at the TV screen and I was angry as the same news clip was replayed.Standing tall in that dumb black suit, Selene my ex wife delivered speeches as if she were a member of the royal family. She had given me a blow I might get her gummy
