SCORNED EX WIFE : Queen Of Ashes

Annypen

Camille Lewis was the forgotten daughter, the unloved wife, the woman discarded like yesterday's news. Betrayed by her husband, cast aside by her own family, and left for dead by the sister who stole everything, she vanished without a trace. But the weak, naive Camille died the night her car was forced off that bridge. A year later, she returns as Camille Kane, richer, colder, and more powerful than anyone could have imagined. Armed with wealth, intelligence, and a hunger for vengeance, she is no longer the woman they once trampled on. She is the storm that will tear their world apart. Her ex-husband begs for forgiveness. Her sister's perfect life crumbles. Her parents regret the daughter they cast aside. But Camille didn't come back for apologies, she came back to watch them burn. But as her enemies fall at her feet, one question remains: when the revenge is over, what's left? A mysterious trillionaire Alexander Pierce steps into her path, offering something she thought she lost forever, a future. But can a woman built on ashes learn to love again? She rose from the fire to destroy those who betrayed her. Now, she must decide if she'll rule alone... or let someone melt the ice in her heart.

Beginning

Selena Cortez

"I'm excited for Señorito's arrival!" Clara said, almost yelling. I smiled at her and continued to arrange the ingredients needed for Miss Sanya's cooking.

"I haven't seen him for a long time," she added, what about me? I haven't even seen him yet. I wanted to answer her but I didn't want to spoil her imagination of Señorito so I just let it go.

"You know what Selena, he's not just super good looking! He's also kind! Like he treats us like a family member!" She said excitedly as she started to slicing an onion, without looking what she’s slicing. Now, I am starting to get worried, she might cut her hand if she doesn’t focus on slicing the onions!

"Lena! Clara! Where are the ingredients I’m asking you guys to cut?! You girls should be focusing on your task! Were in a rush! Stop gossiping so your work won’t take longer!" Miss Sanya said gruffly. I sighed and did what she asked us to do.

Clara and I looked at each other as I whisper to her,

“Let's just focus on slicing everything first.” She nod as a response and….

"Here you go!" I said after a few minutes as I hand her the big plate of diced onions.

"Once we’re done with the other ingredients, I'll take it here again." I said to Miss Sanya and she nodded in response. After awhile again,

“Here you go Miss Sanya…" I put down two big plates again in front of her, full of sliced bell pepper and peeled garlic.

"Lena, remember, you have a lot to do at the ranch so don't gossip too much with Clara!" She reminded me before I could completely leave on where she is cooking.

"Yes, I know Miss…" I simple answered her, so the conversation will end and I can go back to Clara.

The thing is I’m not really working here in the kitchen, so some of the chores to here are not familiar. I actually work at the Rancho with the horses in the stable. It just so happens that today Celestine and Samantha are not here, because they have school and base on what I heard it’s their exam day.

And since there is not much to do at the ranch as of the moment, instead of my mother coming here to help prepare the meals, and I want her to rest at home with my father, I volunteer myself to help miss Sanya and Clara.

I also want to see Clara, cause she’s not only my workmate at the mansion, we’re from the same school and also classmates. We are both in Grade 10, but we hardly see each other here at the Saavedras' mansion, like what I had mentioned I am stationed at the ranch while Clara stays here in the kitchen, that’s why I am trying to grab this opportunity to catch up with her however Miss Sanya’s eye is with us. Boo! Party pooper!

Well anyway I understand why though, there's still a lot of work to do since the arrival of Señorito's is a big event. Señorito only visits here once in a blue moon and people working here really looks excited with his arrival.

"LENA!" I turned to the person who called me, his voice sounds familiar and when I saw him my eyes widen in surprise.

“Marco!” I shout back as I wave at him as he continues to walk inside the kitchen as well. Marco is one of my co-workers at the hacienda slash childhood friend slash my schoolmate as well but he is three years older than me.
