The Ex-Husband's Revenge Chapter 12
Eduard tried his best to hold his temper. He didn’t want to say anything but his connection with Isabella. He would let Donovan just get shocked when he found out the truth.Though he couldn’t deny the pain that he felt inside his heart because of how the woman was acting.He was thankful that Abby was there. The support that he was looking for was given to him by a strange woman.A woman who looked down on him as well during their first meeting.“It’s on Wilbur Avenue,” Abby said.“Okay,” Eduard said. “Please let’s drop Miss Abby on that address.”There was a deafening silence for a couple of minutes between him and Abby.“So, how long have you been in the company?“Almost a year. I just graduated last year and was lucky to land in the company right away,” Abby said and smiled at him.Eduard nodded.“I see.”After that, silence was between them again.Eduard was thinking a lot of things. He couldn’t believe that Abby would be there to support him even if they didn’t know each other.

“Not enough? Tell me, what do you want?” Ana continued and then she took a checkbook out from her bag. “Name your price.”Eduard was shocked. He didn’t expect that Ana would be doing that to him.“Eduard, you have to leave. You are just an illegitimate child. You do not have any right to whatever my husband owns!”His fist rolled when he heard those words.“Auntie, please leave. I am tired and I still have work to do,” he said and then he turned around to go upstairs.“How disrespectful can you get? After I raised you and made you eat in my palm, this is what I am going to get from you? How are you going to treat me?”“Auntie, I cannot really understand what you wanted to happen but I do not want us to fight over the company. Like what I have said from the very start. You should have come to my father instead of me.” He continued in a firm tone.He had already had enough insulting words for the day and to have an argument with the old woman was the least that he wanted to do that nigh

A long sigh was heard from the other line.Eduard could feel that Dan was concerned about him.“Well, just stay calm, okay? I saw your wife with another man. I do not want to give meaning to it at first but they were just so intimate that it was so hard to ignore,” finally, Dan said.He was right all along. His ex-wife was not afraid to flaunt her infidelity in broad daylight.“It’s okay, bro. I am fine. You don’t have to worry about me. I already know about it,” he said in a calm tone. It does affect him but not that much anymore. He had something else to put his energy into at the moment.Dan was shocked on the other line.“I see. If you need someone to talk to just let me know. Tell me when you go back and let’s have a drink,” Dan said.“Okay,” he said and then ended the call.He looked at the ceiling. He never thought that he would find himself in that situation.He could still remember how Isabella fought for their love. Her parents were against their relationship. They prefer Is

“Ryan? Are you still there?”“Oh,” Ryan mumbled. “Yes, sir. Someone is waiting inside your office.”Eduard couldn’t help but wonder with Ryan’s gesture. Probably, it was Auntie Ana again.He took a deep breath as he continued his way to the lift.It didn’t take long and he reached the floor where his office was.It was the room that his father designated for him while he was assessing his skills.The next day after they met, his father had his staff prepare his office for him. He could say that it was one of the best days of his life. He never imagined that he would be given a chance to work in his father’s company.He was still young and his Auntie Ana always reminded him that he had no place in the company. He was lucky enough that his father recognized him and he should be thankful for that.“Good morning, sir,” Ryan greeted him as soon as he opened the door.“Good morning. Who’s there?”“It’s Sir Eddie,” Ryan answered and the fear in his voice couldn’t be hidden.“What does he nee

“Ryan, can you please come in?” Eduard called Ryan as soon as Eddie left the office.He knew that with his brother’s words, there would be a difficult fight between the two of them.It didn’t take long and Ryan was already inside his office.“Did you find any information?”“Unfortunately, sir, I didn’t have the time to go through it because of the things that I needed to arrange for you,” Ryan answered.Eduard nodded. He saw how busy Ryan was in checking everything that he needed.“I see.” He sighed. “What if we hire a secretary for me?” He suddenly asked and looked at Ryan.“I think that’s fine given the workload that you will have, sir.”“Okay, then tell the HR Department to give me the resume of applicants,” he ordered. “I wanted you to focus on more important things.”“I’ll advise them to send the resume of applicants right away. Is there anything else you’d like me to do?”“None other than what I want you to find. But next time that I will be asking, I am expecting good news fro

“Oh,” Eduard mumbled. Ryan was right. He was not yet introduced to the board and to the company.“Do you want me to raise this to the chairman so he can hold a meeting and introduce you? I think that will help you a lot,” Ryan suggested.“I am not really sure. I don’t know if my father will want me to do that.”“Sir, since you will be in the business world, you should be aggressive. I do not think there’s anything wrong with being introduced to the company. Aren’t you confident that you are going to pass his judgment?”Eduard was taken aback by Ryan’s world. He was right. What was he afraid of?He knew to himself that he was going to do his best in order to get the position. He was not after the money of his father but he wanted to protect the legacy.“You are right. I guess, let me talk to him and I will tell him that I cannot get the things that I need in order to learn the business because people are holding off on the information from me,” Eduard said.“Alright, sir. I will leave

It was another day for Eduard going to his father’s company. It was still early in the morning and as soon as he entered the building, he was greeted by the employees. His eyebrows knitted together because he knew that they were not yet informed who he was and what was his role in the company.“Good morning, Sir,” they greeted him one after the other with smiles on their faces.“Good morning,” he said as he nodded his head.“Good morning, sir,” Abby greeted him as well when he passed by the reception.It had been a couple of days since he took her with him to meet Donovan and Isabella.“How are you?”“I am fine, sir. Thank you for asking.”Eduard just smiled and then went on his way. He could not explain the feeling he had at that moment. It was the first time that he felt proud. Before people would always look down at him because he was either an illegitimate child or because his mother was called a whore.For the first time in his life, he felt that he was top of everyone.“Good mo

"Take a look at this resume," Eduard said when Ryan came near him. He handed the piece of paper to his assistant."Isn't she already working here?"Ryan's eyebrows knitted together as he looked at the photo intently. He was trying to recall the woman's face. It didn't take long and he nodded his head."You're right, sir.""I think she's the receptionist. Why is her resume still here?""I am not sure but that can be a mistake. Let me ask the Human resource department.""Please," Eduard said and he put Abby's resume at the top of his table.Ryan made a phone call and Eduard was just listening to his assistant as he was speaking to the Human Resource department.If it was really a mistake, he could see that he had to review the other department's process as well. It was a small mistake but impacting.What if they contacted a person who was already an employee? Wasn't that embarrassing? Their system would really be questioned if that happened.He let out a deep sigh. His father worked hard

“Is this the woman that he hired as his secretary?” Auntie Ana asked while one of her eyebrows raised.She looked at Abby from top to bottom. Obviously, she was looking down at her.“How can she be qualified? I heard that this woman didn’t have any degree. Ryan, what exactly is your boss planning?”Ryan was just quiet. He didn’t want to get involved with the family feud.“Tell me, is he trying to degrade the quality of the staff that we are hiring in the company? I came here and recommended to him someone who graduated from a very prestigious university but he declined it. How could this woman who didn’t even graduate college got the position? What kind of game is he trying to play?” Auntie Ana continued in a firm tone.Abby was just silent. She was looking down at the floor because she didn’t know what to say. She was right. She was not deserving of the position but what could she do? Eduard ordered her to report to him directly.“Look! Look at her, Ryan. She couldn’t even carry hers

“Ryan, are you there?”Ryan cleared his throat before he answered. “Yes, sir. I am here.”“Okay, can you come in with the new secretary? I want you to run over to me what are the things that I need to do for today,” he said.“Alright, sir. We will be there shortly,” Ryan said and then he looked at Abby. “You are going to be fine.”Abby smiled.“Come on, let’s go. Let us not make him wait.”Abby stood up and then she followed Ryan as he knocked and opened the door in Eduard’s room.She could feel her heart beating so fast. That was the moment that she had been fearing since last night.Abby took a deep breath before she entered Eduard’s office.She and Ryan were standing in front of his executive desk. He was looking through the documents on top of his table.It was just that time that she noticed how good looking their acting CEO was. He had a high nose which looked like it was perfectly drawn. His eyes were brown with thick eyelashes and eyebrows.His lips were red like those lips of

“Good morning,” Eduard said in a formal tone.“Good morning, sir,” Abby and Ryan said at the same time.Abby couldn’t help but feel nervous as she faced Eduard. She bowed her head. She couldn’t look him in the eyes.“Hi, Abby. How are you?”Abby quickly raised her head.“Hi, S— sir,” she mumbled. Her voice almost couldn’t be heard.“Ryan, please do the orientation to Abby,” he said and then he went into his office without giving her another look.“Abby, are you okay?” Ryan asked as soon as Eduard was gone.“Y— yes,” she said as she nodded her head.“Are you sure? You look like you are not. You are so pale,” he said.“I am so sorry, Ryan. I am just really afraid. Do you know why I am the one who has been chosen?”“Well, I think the CEO just likes to work with you, why?”“I am afraid that he might make things hard for me because of our previous encounter.”“Jeez! Forget about that. Eduard is kind. He may look so cold but he is a kind-hearted man,” he said. “There is nothing to be afraid

The sound of the alarm clock woke up Abby.She rubbed her eyes and lazily got up the bed.Abby suddenly woke up herself as she realized that it was the day that she feared. She never thought that she would be working directly for the CEO after she got hired.Due to her education, they said that she couldn’t get a position inside the office. One should have a master’s degree to be an office staff and she accepted that already.But today was a different day for her. She didn’t know what exactly she did for her to finally get the job she wanted ever since she graduated.Though inside her heart, she didn’t know if she should feel excited or nervous.Abby had no idea why of all people she was chosen to be the acting CEO’s secretary.Her heart started to pound again as she remembered that she would no longer be at the reception.“Abby?” Her mother’s voice made her get up quickly from the bed. There were knocks after that.“Abby? Aren’t you coming to work?” She continued to ask.“I am going

“Please make sure to come to the office thirty minutes early,” Geneva continued. But all her words didn’t sync to Abby’s head. She was just looking at her while her heart was still throbbing so fast. “Miss Nixon?” The HR officer called her attention. “Are you listening to me?” “Oh,” she mumbled and then she nodded her head. “B— but ma’am, why am I going to report in his office?” “He requested you to be transferred under him and work as his secretary,” Geneva continued. “Haven’t you had an encounter with him?” Abby suddenly felt her cheeks turn red. “Yes, Ma’am.” “I can’t help but wonder what he is planning because out of all the applicants he has chosen you instead. You have to be very careful and do your job very well,” the HR office reminded her. She smiled timidly. “I will. Thank you, Ma’am.” “Okay, you can go now.” Abby nodded and then she stood up and left the room. She closed the door and then leaned her back on it. She sighed. She didn’t know if she should be thankfu

“H— huh?” Abby mumbled.“Didn’t you hear me? Come here at the HR before you leave today,” the woman on the other line hung up after saying that.Abby was left shocked. Her heart was beating so fast as she tried to think what were the things that happened today.She didn’t receive any complaint so why was she being called?“Miss?”“Miss?”The man in front of her repeatedly called her.“Oh, I am so sorry, sir.” The Ex-Husband's Revenge

Eduard’s eyes became sharp as he looked at Auntie Ana.“While I still have my respect, please leave. If you continue to say anything about my mother, I do not know what I can do next. Please take that woman with you and leave my office. Or do you want me to call my father to let him know that his wife is trying to disturb me from working?”Eduard tried to hold his temper but he really wanted to shout at the woman who was in front of him.He could take everything that they wanted to say about him but not about his mother. She had already suffered enough and she was already at peace.“Why? Are you afraid that the people here in the company will lose respect from you when they know the truth?”“Ryan, can you please guide the guests out of the office?”“Okay, sir.” Ryan who was standing behind Auntie Ana said and then he convinced the woman to leave and not to cause anymore trouble.“I cannot believe that even Ryan is following this man. What has he done?”“Please, Ma’am. I do not think i
