Lahat ng Kabanata ng HER POWER; Betrayed ex-wife seeks revenge!: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 19

Audrey truly stuck to her words—she didn't agree to the business marriage.This had come as a huge disappointment to Elon, who had greatly anticipated that Audrey would eventually change her mind and go with his first proposition. But to his sheer disbelief, she had told him the following morning after the night she returned, that she wasn't complying with the marriage demand. "I already intend to make Theodore pay for what he did to me, Dad. So if that's what you're really asking of me, I guess I just have to quicken the pace of my revenge plot. I go with the second option then. I don't want to marry Jamie," She had told him resolutely.Elon's disappointment and frustration that morning couldn't be quelled by anyone nor even by his lovely wife, Scarlett, who had tried to reassure him that she would talk some sense into their stubborn daughter. But Elon already knew better—He knew the moment Audrey had set her heart on something, it would take a village to literally change her mind.

It took a moment before she said anything as she observed him. But eventually, she did."Yes, I am," Audrey replied to his inquiry. Her tone was flat and her gaze was unyielding as per her demeanor. Jamie, on the other hand, regarded her, his expression reflecting his heartbreak as he nodded briskly in understanding. He first hesitated, but then said. "I wanted to see you before you left. It's been so long." His eyes darted between hers, the tension between them escalating as he added. "I missed you. And I'm sorry I didn't fight hard enough for you the last time. I wish you'd give me a second chance but I totally respect your decision."Audrey's brows knitted together at his words. She couldn't comprehend what he meant by him not fighting hard enough for her. Nonetheless, she remained quiet as she let him do the talking.Jamie heaved a heavy sigh as his eyes bore into Audrey's, the weight of his inner turmoil weighing on him. He was contemplating a thought. He wanted to confess his

It's been three weeks since Audrey returned to Nyx City. She had managed to settle into a cozy apartment at the outskirts of the City, the side of the city that once used to be out of her league now her residence. This was because Theodore had contacted every landlord who owned luxurious apartments in Nyx, so that Audrey wouldn't be able to rent any apartments. He had even forcefully taken away the private villa she had purchased as well, cutting her off their joint accounts and leaving her financially depleted.He was determined to make her life a living hell, all in a bid to get her to leave the City to start afresh somewhere else. Now, Theodore believed he had successfully done that since it had been three weeks since any of them (him, Emily, and his employees ) last set their eyes on Audrey. They believed they had driven her away. However, unknown to them, Audrey was still lurking around, on the outskirts of the City, where her apartment was located.Audrey had tried to keep a lo

Meanwhile, Audrey rushed to Chloe's car outside, plopping down in the passenger's seat and slamming the door close after her. Her breaths hitched and her heart pounded uncontrollably in her chest. Her fingers trembled slightly, her chest rising up and down violently at intervals. She feared she might be having a panic attack. And it might have been triggered by her encounter with Emily. Audrey closed her eyes, trying to catch her breath and steady herself at the same time. A wave of nausea washed over her and she hated the feeling. Hated the fact that she had bolted from the mart like a fucking coward. A fucking pathetic loser who couldn't stand a confrontation from her ex. Before she could fully grasp a hold of herself, tears were already trickling down her face. It started with a lone tear, then another followed, then another till they were flowing down her face like a placid stream. She clenched her thighs nervously, trying desperately to suppress the ache she felt in her chest

"Who the fuck are you, really?" The man paused momentarily as he absorbed her question, finding himself somewhat captivated by her drunken state. He found it amusing that Audrey truly didn't remember him. He knew they had met just once before now, but still, he expected some recognition. After all, other ladies tend to remember their encounters with him even though he struggled to recall such mundane details. However, Audrey's case was different. He remembered her even though in her drunken state, she couldn't recall where they initially crossed paths. He could easily picture—the silver-haired beaut with mesmerizing green eyes he had encountered in the elevator three weeks prior, especially since her face had been haunting his heart and cock ever since then. Ian had asked his aide to get everything he could on Audrey after she left, and ever since then he had been keeping tabs on her, following her every move while he was her fucking guardian angel. He was aware that his hunch a
