All Chapters of An Ex-wife's Guide to Revenge: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

ERDENI knew Cade was lying on that, and I know now he's going to have a visit from me soon. Lys backs away from me as though I've punched her in the face. “And you believed I’d give up my company so easily?” “Lys, I'm telling you because I know Cade is a liar, and a cheat.” I tell her. She grimaces, turns and follows Trent and Riley. We find both of them pressed up against Trent’s car. Trent is a man whore if I've ever met one, but he and Riley are whispering passionately to each other instead of kissing.Lys walks up to her friend. Her shoulders are hunched and angry, and she snaps at her friend. “We have to go, Riley.” Riley looks up at me, glaring as though I'm the reason her best friend is interrupting her good time. She pushes Trent away, waves at him and walks away. Lys and Riley get into a car and drive off. Trent walks back up to me, slides his hand into his pocket, watching my face. “Did you tell her?” He asks. “No. I couldn't.” “Erden…” Trent says, a warning in his

LYSSANDRA I'm working out the next morning when the idea comes to me. I punch the bag, jogging in place. I need a new replacement in order to throw Cade out of the company. If that's all I need to do, then why not use Erden? It's such a wild idea that for a moment, I stop punching, pull a towel from the towel stand and mop my face with it while I think. No one would mess around with Erden, everyone knows better than to get on his wrong side. I could name him CEO, and somehow force him? Bad idea, maybe beg him to pretend to take the job. Just long enough for Cade to give up and leave. I leave the gym after another thirty minutes of running on the treadmill. Thanks to these workouts, I feel so much better despite my disease. I haven't had another bout in the last week, and soon, I'll need to return to the doctor for another check up. The idea of naming Erden as CEO returns to me, and again, I put it aside for later. Inside the house, Nagia is already waiting in the kitchen. Th

ERDEN“It doesn't matter. None of this is our fault either.” People think I'm the cold, logical, and rational one. But though he's my youngest brother, Aksel is actually the cold-hearted, cold-blooded one.I stand and walk away from him to put some space between us, because I'm tempted to punch him in the face. He seems to realize that too. The door to Lys’s room opens and Doctor Michelle steps out. She looks spent, but at least she doesn't look panicked. That gives me hope that Lyssandra will be fine. She stops beside me while a nurse steps into Lys’s room. I stalk over to her. “What's wrong with Lyssandra?” Doctor Michelle looks from me to Aksel. “I have no idea who you are. I can't share her personal information with you.” She tries to walk past, but I step in front of her. “I brought her here, and she's under my care. I can't take care of her unless you help me.” Doctor Michelle darts a look back at Michelle's door, then her shoulders slumps. “I really hope I don't get sued

LYSSANDRA It's Uncle Nathan. He shifts and sits beside me. He takes my hand in his gently, but I yank it back, glaring at him. “What are you doing here, Nathan?” He grimaces at my tone. “I heard…I heard about what happened with Cade.” He meant Cade making a fool of himself in front of everyone. “What does that have to do with me?” Nathan’s eyes fill with worry. “I know you're mad at me, Lyssandra. But since your father died, you can testify that I've only done what I thought was best for you.”I'm unable to disagree with that. After Father's death, I had moved in with Nathan and his wife for years, while I rebuilt the house which was burnt to the floor. “I'm sorry I called you a… that name at Erden’s house. I was just surprised.” “That's not an excuse to disrespect me that way.” I'm not in the right frame of mind to argue with my uncle. I've just found out someone has been slowly poisoning me, the last thing I need is another argument with my uncle.“What do you want, Nathan?”

ERDENThe chef is hanging from the ceiling. His face is devoid of all emotions, and the dungeon casts shadows on his face. His lips are split, and his eyes are almost swollen shut. They're a deep blue color and he hacks out a cough, trying to double up to shield his stomach as Aksel punches again. “He's going to kill him.” Trent mutters, leaning against the wall beside me.“He's a stone cold murderer. He deserves to die.” “Lyssandra might want to speak to him.” “Why would she do that?” “Because he was poisoning her? Erden, stop thinking like a cave fucking man.”The last thing I'm doing is behaving like one. And Trent is dumb if he really believes Lys wants to spend another second in the company of a man who wanted to kill her. “And didn't you say it was Cade? Why isn't he hanging up here?”Cade didn't know a thing. Farouk went into his phones and computers, and there was nothing there even showing he had any communications with his chef. I had hoped it was him. Hell, I would
