Все главы The Ex-wife’s little revenge: Глава 11 - Глава 20

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

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

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

Selene’s POVI entered my apartment barefoot and the environment was serene, the slight smell of saltwater clinging to my skin, the wind still in my hair. Jason and I were the only people on the beach and it had been quiet and I loved it.There are no boardrooms. No spoilers. No conflicts. Only his hand in mine and the sound of the waves encircling us. It had been a long time since I had felt. . . secure and I yearn to feel like this again and again. But now reality sets in. He opened a glass of wine and poured it for both of us. I watched the city below.From above, it appeared stunning but I knew the reality. There were betrayals, masks and lies beneath the lights and I had to overcome them all.The storm that I had been keeping inside was now clamoring to come out. I was given a glass by Jason as he approached.“To promote peace,” he said softly. I smiled as I accepted it. “For war too.”“You are really serious about this.” He laughed.I nodded.Now is the moment. I had given Ch

Selene’s POVMy bare shoulder was warmed by the soft morning sun that came in through the windows. The afterglow from last night still enveloped my body. I blinked slowly. I didn't know when I had fallen asleep, I had laid on the bed, trying to think and then fell asleep.I exhaled and felt like going back to sleep.Jason's arms around my waist were sturdy and the sheets felt good against my skin. He had already woken. His fingers were making tiny slow circles on my lower back and I loved that feeling and wanted him to continue because it made me forget everything for a while.“Good morning lovely,” he whispered as he planted a kiss on the top of my shoulder.I smiled into the pillow and I said.“Good morning.”This moment had an air of tranquility to it, the way our legs were intertwined, the city's gentle hum outside. And the serenity of being by my beloved's side. This was peace, this was what many craved for and I didn't want it to end.Jason turned his head toward me.“Did you
