Lahat ng Kabanata ng Disgraced Ex-wife; Reborn With Fire: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 29

DAVINABang!Bang!!Bang!!!Three punches flew straight at Robin’s face, heavy ones I had dealt him with every fibre of my being. I had locked away all doubts, distractions, and weakness deep inside me, replaced by a coldness and fierceness for success. Maria stood still, shocked, and her mouth gaped open while Robin staggered backward, holding onto his mouth which was swollen on one side. He however regained himself a few seconds later, and he tapped me on my shoulder, “You did well! Congratulations.”A smile spread across my lips, and a deep and quiet but loud satisfaction settled in my chest. But behind that smile were the number of bruises that lined my skin. There were several times I would wake up every morning in pain while I struggled to achieve just one thing. “You can proceed to your next class…”I threw the boxing gloves off me, like they were hot potatoes, and stretched my neck to walk away. Even with the seething pain in my body, my back was straight, ready to go into

DAVINA“Soft launch of the season…” My tongue rolled as I scrolled through the pictures all over the famous news channels. I, with my hand wrapped around Shaw’s arm, glued together like a real couple. The tension between us that night had melted me in his arms, making the pictures come out too good and it was the rave. Unexpectedly, we now had fan girls fanning over us, wanting us to drop more couple content. However, the news would be shocking to them if they ever knew this was just business. After those pictures, Shaw and I had pulled apart but I couldn't deny that there had been a deep absence in my chest, and Shaw’s eyes didn't move away from me that night. Even though he stared at me with hooded eyes, I wasn't swayed. I was dressed as his ex-wife in that moment and I could tell he had fallen all over again. “Are you ready?” The man who had plagued my thoughts came up to me, while I was seated right in the home office. He dropped a folder on the desk, “Shaw Industries is acqu

DAVINAThe feel of the smooth makeup brushes on my skin, my eyes glittering, the contours that highlighted my cheekbones and the rosy blush on my cheeks, all made me feel anew. A different me. I looked exactly like Lucille now, the woman who would be introduced to the world. This was the moment she never got to enjoy and I wanted to embody it perfectly, for a woman who never got to have her revenge like mine. Her reputation, her achievements were all helping me. She was the backbone of this revenge, what led Shaw to me. And the dress on me? Beautiful. Walking into the mansion last night, I gasped when I saw it. It had a bold, deep red hue, a dress that clung to my body, accentuated my shoulders, and my radiance. It was perfect. It was a dress that the old Davina who wore a common white dress for her wedding never would have worn. “Mr. Shaw chose this dress...” Maria had whispered to me and I had marveled at his attention to detail. Anything that would complement me was sent my w

ADELINE“Woah! Is Mrs. Shaw saying Adeline tried to seduce Nathaniel Shaw?!”“But she is pregnant, how could she do that?”The air froze over in the ballroom, tension rising and voices murmuring. The scornful stares of the guests crawled on my perfect skin like ants. My eyes darted around, beholding the guests, pointing at me like I was a plague. “What did you say?” I asked Lucille, my brows furrowing. “Why did you meet my husband privately?” She asked. “Haha…” I let out a strained laugh, my fingers twitching. “I am afraid you are mistaken. Aren't you being a little too vile, Mrs. Shaw? Do you want to paint me as the bad person?”No one was going to believe her, as long as I didn't admit to it. After all, how could she prove I met him? “You aren't so kind after all. How could you look me in the face? A pregnant guest of yours and disrespect me this way?” My voice shook, as I held my belly, staggering backward. Some women quickly rallied around me to help me, and I rested heavily o
