บททั้งหมดของ An Ex-wife's Guide to Revenge: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

LYSSANDRA I scrubbed my fingers over my eyes, blinking, hoping I'd open my eyes and the sight had disappeared, maybe like a mirage. I could hear Cade, and the man, but I kept my eyes closed. “Lys?” I heard Cade, and my jaw clenched. He chose to call me Lys now? When a man was fucking him in our living room? I opened my eyes and Cade was naked. “What on earth are you doing here? I assumed you'd be at Riley's?” His voice was shaking. I took a look at his partner, and my lips fell open. “Arch? I can't believe this!” I yelled at him, my throat rough with the tears I was holding back. “We can talk this out calmly. Give me a moment to dress up, and I'll be with you.” Cade turned to Arch and sighed sadly. “I'm sorry, Arch. You'll need to leave now.” His voice was apologetic, almost pleading as he spoke to Arch. Arch was a member on my company’s board. Actually, he owned the largest shares in my company. He was the first person who invested in me, and almost twenty years older than Cade

LYSSANDRA“Lyssandra, how many times will I warn you?” Doctor Michelle sighed.She was disappointed again. My vitals were reading high levels of stress, but it wasn't like I expected to go home and find my husband's cheating.“I promise, I'll do better,” I promised again.I'd made this promise three times this month already, and Michelle wasn't accepting it.“We might have to keep you at the hospital if your stress signals are this high when you're back for your next test.”There was a warning in her voice, and I knew she was serious.I promised to stop stressing, and I left. The drive home was a blur, because again, I was thinking.About Erden. I hadn't seen him in years, and though I'd said no to Riley’s idea, I knew he would be the perfect person to help me.Arriving home, I knew something was wrong the moment I pulled into the driveway.I knew it because Cade’s car was here.Of course it was.I killed the engine, and sat for a second.My head was throbbing again, that dull, pulsing

LYSSANDRAI had been surprised many times before.I was surprised when I caught Arch and Cade together on my couch.But nothing compared to this moment.The next second, two men stepped into the elevator and they filled the space between Erden and me. Erden looked away, his jaw locked tight.Tightening my hands around my bag, I stepped around the two men who moved at once to block me from Erden.One of the men with tattoos crawling up his neck shook his head. “Back up.”Was I in an alternate reality? Because nothing else made sense. Did I imagine him calling me his little shadow just now?I craned my head to meet Erden’s eyes, but he looked away. “Erden, are you pretending you do not recognize me?”“Miss, please back away.” The tattooed man repeated, the words rattling out from his chest.His mate, wearing dark shades, stepped tighter together, creating an impenetrable wall, though they were barely tall enough to hide his face from me.I backed away, my heart slamming into my chest ove

LYSSANDRAHe better not try pretending he didn't recognize me.I knew it as well as I knew my name that he knew exactly who I was.“Miss. Veyn? Did you skip our meeting earlier in hopes for a private one?”I waited until he was close enough to me. My next words were not for any other ears except ours.“Erden, you took my virginity at eighteen. I'm offended you would even try to pretend you don't know who I am.” I whispered to him.I watched as Erden lifted a palm in the air and pointed at the cars. The two men beside him separated and spread in different directions.Erden’s fingers went under my jaw and he lifted my face. “I didn't know you still remembered that. You've been married for almost ten years.”What did that have to do with anything?Pulling my jaw from his grasp, I stepped back, ignoring the way my pulse had gone up a notch higher.“What were you doing here? What did you want? You didn't return from ten years abroad to invest in my company, did you?”“I've always been here,

LYSSANDRANathan was a piece of shit, but he was also my uncle and the only family I had left.That more than any need to protect him was what made me step around the wall, and march across the marble floor to Erden.Erden’s head lifted from my uncle's face to meet mine across the hallway. Even across the distance, I could feel the anger burning in them.He made no effort to hide it as he lifted Nathan by his shirt collar and threw him into the wall right in front of me.“What the fuck are you doing?!” I yelled as I ran over to Nathan who was groaning on the floor, his side probably broken from hitting the wall.Erden walked over to my uncle, his fists still clenched. I stepped between my uncle's body and him, daring him to push me aside to get to Nathan.“Get out of the way, Lys.” Erden growled.“Hell no. Do you plan to kill him?” I shouted, placing my hand on his chest and pushing him away. Caught by surprise, Erden staggered back, his eyes clouded and flashing gold.It was the same
