Lahat ng Kabanata ng Miss Gray’s Vengeance : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Genevieve anxiously paced around the living room, her perfectly manicured nails in between her teeth. “Where did Noah go?” She muttered to herself. “No no, Eve. Calm down and stop overthinking. He said he’ll be back,” she cautioned, calming her racing thoughts. It was 6 pm already and Noah was nowhere to be found. He’d left two hours ago when they were dressing up for their anniversary dinner. She’d suggested that they have a romantic dinner in a fancy restaurant and for the first time ever, Noah agreed. How happy was she about that? She’d barely kept herself from screaming out loud in excitement. Only heaven knew how much she had been anticipating this day. Plus she was putting on his favorite color. Black and white. And if he doesn’t show up, it will all go to…. Eve stopped pacing around and rushed to the kitchen to grab a glass of water to calm her nerves. The thoughts were getting out of hand and she might faint from thinking negative things. “Genevieve!” The sudden call

~A Year Later~ “Welcome, everyone to the grand anniversary ball of the Hank family.” Melissa’s voice echoed confidently from the platform. “On behalf of my soon-to-be-husband, my mother-in-law, and the entire Hank family, I express our gratitude for acknowledging our invitation.” Claps and cheers reverberated in the large hall as everyone gazed admirably at her. “We also want to use this means to announce that our biggest project and deal is taking place soon and we can't help but add this to our celebration. Tonight, we also celebrate the Hank Corporation partnership announcement with the Grays. Cheers everyone.” The audience applauded again and Melissa raised her glass of drink in a toast followed by the guests and at the count of three, they all took a sip. “Melissa Johan?” One of the guests whispered to another. “Yes. I heard that she got engaged to Mr Hank a few months back. You don't know that? Everyone does.” “I’ve been out of the loop lately. She must be so happy. Des

“That was a good performance out there, Eve. It pains me a lot that I was not able to record their pale faces at that moment.” Eve let out a chuckle at the words of her assistant and best friend. “You should’ve, Ella.” Ella giggled. “Now, they can’t have peace in their own party.” She smiled. It was what she wanted. She wished for them to live in horror. She wanted them to dread her, to live their life in misery and if it was the last thing that she gets to do, she surely was going to have the last laugh. Throughout her marriage with Noah, she’d been nothing but kind and forgiving but what did she get in return? Schemes and more schemes from them. She was no longer the Genevieve that they used to know, the Genevieve who was docile and the perfect submissive wife that everyone knew. Her eyes scanned the dance floor and finally fell on a couple that everyone deemed adorable. “They look compatible together. A schemer must be with a schemer. What an unfortunate union.” Ella foll

Noah’s gaze lingered on Melissa for a while before he turned and walked away without a word. She grunted in frustration. She'd expected him to reassure her as usual and promise to marry her for real and deal with Eve once and for all. Desperation washed over her as she watched him walk away and immediately, she chased after him. “Where are you going?” She yelled, her voice shaky with desperation. “I'm talking to you.” “Go attend to the guests, Melissa. I don't have anything to say to you.” “Really? That's all you can say. You know why I'm in this condition. It's all because of her.” Her voice raised, her chest heaving upward and downward in anger. She was desperate to make Noah reassure her. “She caused me pain and right now, I still feel the pain, the trauma, I can hear her voice in my head. She's going to come back at me. She's going to kill me this time.” She rushed to Noah and grabbed his hand, stopping him from walking further away. “Look at my condition, Noah. What if it we

“Let him in.” Olivia bowed her head and walked out of the office. Ella who was standing at the other side of Eve’s table quickly leaned forward and whispered. “Are you sure you’ll be fine?” “Why do you ask?” “I mean… we both know your past with Mr Hank. Are you sure you’ll be able to handle him in the same room?” Eve scoffed. “You don’t know me enough, Ella? I didn’t take this position to let my silly emotions take over. This is all business, understood?” “I trust you but I don’t trust the man.” “I’m not sure anyone does. Maybe his plotting mother and wife-to-be.” Before Ella could agree even more, the door of the office was pushed open, and loud and imposing footsteps reverberated around them. “Mr Gray?” Ella blocked Eve’s view and lowered her head at Noah, clearly forcing a smile. Ella passed her boss a last look before she stepped away from her view. She glared at Noah as she walked past him. He was handsome. Too handsome to be their enemy. Dark hair, ocean-blue eyes,
