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
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER NINE-UNEXPECTED PARTNERSHIPS
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
The Ex-wife’s little revenge CHAPTER EIGHT-THE DILEMMA
Selene's POVI didn't anticipate this happening. It felt almost alien to me that anything—or anyone—other than my carefully planned retaliation would enter my life after all these years of intense concentration on it. But Jason was unique. Jason was flawless.He was steady where I was erratic and serene where I was flaming. In the chaos that had become my life, he was a constant presence. And the more I gave myself permission to spend time with him the more I became aware of how much I was starting to like him.I was beginning to fall deeply in love with him. In the back of my mind however, I knew that the woman I was now—the one in charge, the one who had fought her way to the top—could not afford to show weakness. Not to Jason. To no one. I couldn't let go of the strategic accuracy and control that I had used to build my empire. Not when I was this close to achieving all of my goals. The fact that Jason had been patient with me only made it more difficult for me to break up with h
