The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER 32: WEAKNESS IN THE DARK
Selene POVIt was a sunny afternoon when I decided to visit my old house. The memories of my old life started coming back to me while driving.The house was just standing there like a ghost home. This is the very place my marriage went down the drain. Where Chloe’s betrayal had first taken root and the beginning of where I lost everything. Though It was smaller than I remembered and the paints on the wall were faded. The gardens, a little overgrown.Parking my car across the street, I just stood there and stared at the house. Everything started coming back to me. The laughter in the kitchen and the quiet evenings Seth and I had by the fireplace. The quality time we had in bed. Everything started coming back all at once. And that stupid belief of mine that I have built something real with Seth which was unbreakable.I saw myself standing in that living room with tears running down my face. Reminiscing on the good time Seth and I had together and the promises made to each other. His un

Seth’s POVThe news anchor’s reports were all in admiration for Selene. As I hurled the remote at the screen, the crack of plastic against glass a pathetic echo of the shattering of my empire. She really thought she had won."She has not won until you are destroyed Seth," Elias Vance drawled from his armchair while adjusting his tie. Vance, the journalistic viper I would paid handsomely to handle my dirty work. He watched me with a glint of detached amusement in his eyes. "The public loves a hero, but they also love a fallen hero even more. Especially when the fall is dramatic." “I want to ruin her. Not just her company, but also her name and reputation. Everything she holds dear.Vance, with a smile “And how do you plan on doing that? We play on her weaknesses. Her past and also her personal vendettas.” Vance picked up a file from my desk filled with manufactured evidence and doctored photos. “We will paint her as reckless and unstable. A vengeful woman who used unethical means t

Selene’s POVToday, my focus had to be razor-sharp. It was the quarterly shareholder meeting, typically a formality but a subtle tension had been building. Leon had warned me of unusual activities –a few unfamiliar names popping up in the shareholder registry. “Keep your guard up Selene,” he advised. With his eyes serious. “Something is fishy.”walking into the grand boardroom, I was met with the usual faces. But scattered among them were a few new ones and their expressions a mix of cold scrutiny and hostility. This was not going to be a routine meeting.I took my place at the head of the table, Ruth and Nina were by my side. Their presence a silent show of solidarity. Leon was stationed in the tech booth ready to handle any technical issues.’“Good morning, everyone,” I began, my voice clear and steady. “Let us go straight to the business of today.”The initial reports went smoothly – financial updates and our expansion plans. Then a man with a sharp, angular face and a perfectly co
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

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”.
