Lahat ng Kabanata ng Best Revenge: Don't Beg for Mercy, Ex-husband: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

Sara’s lips trembled, grief masking her expression. Shaking her head, she sobbed out loud and threw herself on the ground. “I admit it. I was a very wicked person. She didn’t do me any wrong. Kiara was the most obedient child.”She paused, her sobs dying down to whimpers. “Maybe she was too perfect and that’s why I couldn’t bear it. She was the best at everything. She possessed a charm that made others fall for her at first sight. I was jealous because I had no child of my own in this household. I couldn’t help but wonder if I had a child here, would she be as perfect as Kiara?”Her reasoning didn’t make sense! The woman just wouldn’t admit that she was pure evil. “B- But everything else was a coincidence, Son-in-law!” She scampered forward, trying to hold his leg. Killian kicked her hands off. “I never knew you would end up with Sophia.” Sara continued. “I- I never even knew where my daughter was until you came back with her. I swear I didn’t know that she was even alive!”Wasn’t

Kiara returned home that night, to an empty Villa again. Recently, he rarely got to spend a whole week without traveling. Within one month, he’d had to make at least four to six business trips. The only time they got to be with each other uninterrupted, for a long time, was during their honeymoon on the Island which lasted for two weeks. Kiara wasn’t complaining. Even she had been busy with company work. And she couldn’t help but imagine what if a time would come when they’d just be with each other without any interruption. She knew that time was going to come, but not soon.“Mrs. Stanton, you’re back!” The housekeeper greeted her at the door. The woman was about to leave. “I’ve prepared dinner. It’s in the kitchen. You can warm it up. By the way, Mr. Stanton called a while ago that he wouldn’t be coming home, so I only prepared the meal for you.”“Thanks, Gloria.”“You’re welcome, Mrs. Stanton. Good night.”After the housekeeper left, Kiara entered the empty building. Greg and h

Gasps spread across the place; from the mall attendants and the other ladies who had come to shop as well. Sophia’s expression turned dark, the smug smile instantly disappearing from her face. “You!”Kiara sighed inside. Sophia had appeared at the wrong moment to pick a fight with them. Maya wouldn’t ignore her. Not when she was in a bad mood. She had casually mentioned the conversation she’d overheard Sophia and Samantha having at the bar many months ago. Kiara didn’t know that her best friend still remembered it.The onlookers began whispering immediately, especially the socialite ladies nearby. “Isn’t that Sophia? Killian Reids’ wife?”“You mean the mistress who snatched her stepsister’s husband? Yeah. Rumor has it that she now lives in the Reids’ mansion.”“Oh really? Why? Doesn’t Killian live in the Villa? Did they move to the mansion? Since she’s pregnant, the family must insist on taking good care of her. I heard Samantha Reid dotes on her.”“Duh. She didn’t move to the mans

But Stella didn’t give up. The woman kept on pestering them every day, demanding that Kiara accompany her. In the end, Greg had no choice but to agree. But he also volunteered to go with her. On Friday Night. The event took place in a penthouse that felt like it was hanging above the city. Like a world built only for people who lived above the rest of the city, the whole place had floor-to-ceiling glass walls, giving everyone a clear view of the bright skyline and the light below. The floors were white marble, smooth and shiny under the soft lighting. Gold touches were added around the room, on the tables, on the bar, even on the door handles, giving everything a quiet, expensive look. Soft music played in the background, a calm mix that filled the space without being too loud. Guests walked around slowly, talking in low voices. Their outfits; designer gowns, fitted suits, diamond jewelry, caught the light every time they moved. A long glass bar stood on one side of the room.

How did her jewelry return to Sophia’s hand? Was she the anonymous buyer? Well, Kiara didn’t care how she got it. Staring at the jewelry, she extended her hand. “I’ll pay you double the price. Give it back.”“This?” Still smiling, Sophia traced her fingers across the necklace edges as if she’d worn it intentionally. “I don’t know how much it costs. But you can ask Killian. He bought it for me. Anyway, I’m not giving it back now matter how much you offer, so stop dreaming.”Kiara’s eyes dimmed. She wasn’t going to leave the jewelry. Not in Sophia’s hand. “I don’t think you won’t agree to any price. Just state how much you want.”“I’m not here to negotiate with you, Kiara.” Sophia’s eyes glinted, her palm wandering to her stomach, caressing her pregnancy bump. “I am here to warn you. I’m sure that you’re jealous because of this. Because I’m pregnant and will soon give birth to another heir of the Reids’ family. Did you think reporting to Killian that I bullied you at the mall would m
