All Chapters of The Stand In Wife's Revenge : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

I sat looking at my reflection in the mirror. I was unable to fully comprehend the whirlpool of memories feelings and ideas in my head. Something significant that had once belonged to me seemed to be just out of reach.However just like the warmth that was once mine it slipped away each time I attempted to grasp it. I looked back at the woman in the mirror and blinked. I wasnt entirely sure who she was. It appeared as though she was carrying a burden she was unable to get rid of as her eyes were worn out and aloof.Even though I didnt really know her I knew that I couldnt keep acting in this way. I couldnt keep looking in the mirror and wondering who I was before. I had to alter my behavior. I didnt know exactly how but I had to take charge. With the exception of a slight nighttime hum the room was quiet. I reached into my drawer and took out a pair of scissors.I spent a lot of time staring at them almost mesmerized by the blades gleam. Cutting off the previous version of myself seem

Ava gasped when I gave her a gentle but startled kiss. As I moved more slowly and intensified the kiss tasting her lips as though this was the only thing that mattered my heart pounded in my chest.Her hands arched into me hesitant at first then more confident as if she too was giving in to the sensation to the connection we were sharing in that delicate moment. Every inch of my body seemed to react to hers with a surge of heat building up in my chest. Feeling the warmth of her body against mine I pulled her closer as I slid my hands around her back.There was a sense of urgency and desperation but there was also tenderness and something more profound than simple desire. Her body pressing against mine and her leaning into me as though she couldnt get close enough made it seem like the distance between us had always been too great and too far away but now we were closing it and drawing each other closer in a way I hadnt anticipated.But then I pulled back a little breathing in short ga

With my heart racing I hastily sat up. I needed to know what Alex had said because it was significant and made the room feel heavier. In a curious yet nervous tone I asked “What is it Alex?” My gaze locked with his seeking clarification. He paused his brow furrowed as if he was still considering how best to phrase it. He sighed though and then reached for his phone which had been left on the floor next to his pants.After fumbling with it for a moment he extended it toward me. Anxiety fluttering in my stomach I took the phone from him. Whatever information he was about to show me or whatever was displayed on the screen had to be significant. As soon as I looked down my eyes locked onto the picture that occupied the screen. An expansive stunning estate was depicted in the image it was an amazing property that would have appeared in a luxury publication.Large and contemporary, the mansion was tucked away in a beautiful setting. It was amazing. I was drawn to more than just the esta

My door was gently knocked on waking me up. The sound was so faint that at first I thought I might have imagined it but then it came again this time more gently as if someone was attempting to be courteous without waking me up too soon. With the last of my sleep still clinging to me I rubbed my eyes. Long shadows were cast throughout the room by the softly filtered light from the window which was still early. In an attempt to get rid of the residual weight from the previous night I tossed the blanket aside and stretched. My body already craved the comfort of food and some company even though it felt like I had just closed my eyes. Even though my hair was probably a mess and I was still in my pajamas when I walked over to the door there was something about the knock that gave me a strange sense of calm and warmth as though the outside world was still accessible and safe.Alex was standing there with a tray in his hands when I opened it. His hair was still slightly disheveled from sl

Following breakfast, I experienced a surge of fresh vitality. The burden of the previous few days was still very much present but something about today—what Alex had in store for me—made it seem like a new beginning. I had showered allowing the warm water to remove some of the emotional weight that was holding me back in addition to the physical filth from the past. Although I was unsure of what to anticipate I was prepared for whatever this new chapter held. The women were already in the bedroom quietly getting ready when I returned. Monica, Clara and Sophia all moved professionally coordinating their motions as if they had practiced this a thousand times. There was a sense of purpose anticipation and something else I couldnt quite put my finger on in the room. With his arms folded Alex watched me intently from the doorway. Although he had warm expectant eyes there was more going on. Although I was unable to solve it I felt both anxious and in control.As I entered Monica grinned a
