The Retribution of the Ex-Wife

Since then, Gideon and Addison's relationship has improved to the point where it was before that day. When Gideon could do so, he paid Chiara a visit to the hospital and spent the time there with Chiara's mother and daughter.

During this time, Felicity learned via the news that Gideon Harris had succeeded his father as CEO of the family business. He is one of the most eligible bachelors in Asia and the founder of N-Tech, the country's most successful artificial intelligence company. When she saw her ex-lover, she couldn't help but purse her lips in embarrassment because he had become more masculine in appearance and was more challenging to get back into her life.

In the past, Gideon was nothing more than a man with no aspirations other than to play about with a variety of various women. She left him because she was too ambitious to chase her aspirations and wanted a life of privilege more than anything else.

While Felicity's hand was resting on her womb, she smiled broadly. Everything was part of her plan, from how she conned the head of Davis into believing in her scheme that she was carrying his child to how she got pregnant by a random stranger and provided a piece of fraudulent evidence to wreck the family of Addison. Now Felicity wanted to have Gideon all to herself. Her plan included everything from how she conned the head of Davis into believing in her scheme that she was carrying his child to how she got pregnant by a random stranger.

She whispered those words as she stroked her fingers alluringly across the television screen. "It's time to have you back," she added. Felicity's devious plan was inspired by the thought of reuniting with Gideon Harris, who she had previously held in her arms.

Felicity lowered herself quietly down the staircase while concealing her identity with a mask. It just so happened that Landon Baker was sitting on the couch reading a newspaper when she stumbled and fell on the stairs, so her fall was perfectly timed to alert him to her presence.

"M-My b-baby!" She heaved a sigh when she remembered how uncomfortable her tummy was. The bleeding on her thighs was already extensive, and the intensity of the pain was increasing.

"Felicity!" When Landon Baker raced through her and carried her, she couldn't help but smile in private. She felt like she needed to give herself a good smack since the pain in her gut was so intense. Having said that, she couldn't help but feel elated at the prospect of having Gideon within her reach after tonight.

After the pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, Felicity was immediately given medicine. On the other hand, Landon was sad about losing the kid, while Felicity was content with her decision.

As Felicity went down the corridor after fully recovering, she overheard raucous squeals and applause from the other ward.

When Felicity looked up at the mass of people around Chiara's ward, she was shocked to see that Addison and Gideon were among them. Felicity was speechless for a few seconds after Gideon's eyes locked on the woman. Despite this, he turned his attention to Addison and smiled at the woman as if Felicity no longer held any significance for him.

"Are you willing to wed me?" While he was kneeling in front of Addison, Gideon posed the question.

When Addison responded yes, the audience cheered and congratulated the happy couple.

Felicity coveted everything that Addison Baker possessed, which made her green with envy. The good things that happened to Addison were not due to her deserving them. The admiration of gorgeous men and the abundance of care and attention that Addison received was not due to her.

Felicity leaned up close to Addison's ear and said, "My Dear Addison, enjoy those days that you still have your guy in your arms, for soon, he will fall for my wicked plots just like your father," referring to the fact that Addison's father had been duped by her. She is responsible for ensuring that all that Addison possesses belongs to her. She will take them individually until Addison is so overcome with despair that she falls to her knees.

Everything was white, including the flowers used to decorate the venue, the walls, chandeliers, chairs, tablecloths, and the bridal gown Addison wore. The wedding ceremony could not have been held on a more beautiful day. As she grabbed the bouquet of white roses, which is a flower that represents purity and forever, Addison flashed a bright smile.

When Addison looked back on her past, she realized that she had always had dreams in silver and gold. When Sarah and Gideon finally did make eye contact for the first time, it seemed as if it had been only yesterday. How fun it was for fate to shake things up for them by keeping them apart for several years and then bringing them back together again and again. She mumbled to herself as she delicately stroked the petals of it, "I could have never dreamt that today would come."

"I never even considered that possibility. Look at you, Sweetie. You will wear a stunning white gown that every other woman yearns for. And then, one hour later, you and your future husband will take that forever walk down the aisle." Chiara suddenly materialized out of nowhere and carefully positioned the Belo on top of Addison. She used to wear a wedding dress, but it seemed as though destiny was not on her and Landon's side when they got married.

"Mom! I thought you were going to take a nap?" Surprised, Addison expressed her thoughts. Chiara underwent a procedure that went quite well three months ago. She had to take different drugs and treatments for her leg before she could recuperate and resume her normal walking.

Chiara was moved to tears whenever she saw her daughter. The apprehension may prevent Addison from articulating what she is experiencing at the present time. On the other hand, Chiara was aware that Addison was ecstatic as a result of the fact that she would soon be marrying the man she adored.

"How was it ever possible for me to miss my daughter's wedding? In addition to that, it is the happiest day of your life, and I wouldn't want to just sit there and watch it pass by. "Addison's cheeks became flushed as a result of Chiara's snickering.

After some time had passed, Chiara watched as her daughter, with the assistance of the attendants, put on the dress. It appeared her son-in-law did not give much consideration to commissioning a well-known fashion designer to create a luxurious gown for her daughter's special occasion.

In addition, Chiara strolled around the event earlier and noticed that everything, including the designs, designs for the wedding cake, and the highest-paid catering service, shouted opulence. After a moment, Addison turned around. The light shone brightly off the glittering diamonds adorning her wedding gown. Everything about it was flawless, from the sweeping cape to the sweetheart neckline. A few seconds later, Addison moved on to the next step of her cosmetics application, which ultimately transformed her into the most gorgeous bride.

When the wedding automobile arrived, Chiara immediately offered her assistance to Addison so that she could sit in the wedding car. They also had three hands between them, which helped them avoid getting the cape caught on the car door as they drove. When Chiara realized her daughter's hand was sweating in the gunfire, she chuckled.

Addison said to her mother, "Mom, I'm nervous."

"Do not be concerned, my dear daughter. Your nervousness about the wedding will go away in a short time. I have no doubt that Gideon experienced the same thing then. Remember to be cheerful when you are around your future husband, all right?" Addison gave her mother a nod and rested her head on her mother's shoulder.

The fact that Addison's mother could finally crack a smile brought joy to Addison. Because of something that occurred many months ago, the blaze that had been dormant in her eyes was rekindled. She can grin once more, primarily due to her mother-in-law, Chiara, 's support.

The two people arrived at the entrance of St. Brendan's Catholic church in a short amount of time. The person in charge of organizing the wedding ensured that the bridesmaids, ring bearers, and other significant guests were in the correct positions. The professional wedding planner had previously taught them what to do before they began their trek down the aisle.

On the other hand, Addison increased her apprehension when Louis Smith, Gideon's father, gave his hand to grasp her hand and said, "There's no need to be so anxious about this. Following this, you should get used to calling me father." Louis glared at Chiara and flashed a grin at his mother-in-law to smooth over the awkwardness of the situation.

"The Bride has made her entrance!" As soon as the host announced, the audience fell into complete silence. The attention of the throng was riveted on the most beautiful woman there, even though it was daytime. Behind the veil, Addison's mouth moved slightly as she took in the opulent details of the inside decorations of the church.

Although she and Gideon had planned the wedding together, Addison had no idea that Gideon would put so much effort into it or spend so much money on their union.

As soon as Addison stepped inside with her mother and Father-in-law by her side, she felt it would be a journey into eternity. She could make out the many faces inside; several of their classmates from the same year in college were there to watch Addison and Gideon exchange their vows and become husband and wife.

After moments of confusion, Addison spotted her father standing beside her mother-in-law. Landon Baker offered her a smirk that was just perceptible. The focus then went to Addison's mother as she looked up at her. Chiara gave Landon a sincere smile as she told her former husband that she did not have any ill will toward him and that she had moved on from past events. Chiara knew the only way she could get her revenge on Landon was to forgive him.

The song "This I Promise You" by Anthem Lights started playing, and immediately the mood changed to become intense and dramatic. The wedding was almost like a scene from a fairy tale, in which two old friends reconnected and eventually fell in love.

Chiara saw the man her daughter would spend the rest of her life with as she stood at the end of the aisle. Throughout the entire process, Gideon was at their side at all times. He never missed an opportunity to see her and even helped her with her meds. Without a shadow of a doubt, the young billionaire was, in point of fact, an ideal prospect to be the future spouse of her daughter.

Chiara turned her gaze toward the altar, wishing that Addison might be spared the anguish that she had experienced. As Addison's mother, she wanted nothing more than for her daughter to find the one person in her life who would love her for all eternity.

"I will entrust you with the care of my daughter, son. Take good care of her, thank you," murmured Chiara as she slowly removed her grip from her daughter's hand and handed it over to Gideon.

As Gideon pledged his commitment to his mother while he held Addison's hand, he said, "I gave you my word." Before turning their backs on each other, Gideon gave a respectful nod to his father.

During the ceremony, Addison tried to suppress her emotions but was unsuccessful until Dylan gently gripped her hand and said, "I'm here." Before the event's most anticipated and revered part began, Addison could be heard quietly giggling.

Gideon took the blessed ring from the ring bearer, placed it on Addison's finger as if it had been crafted particularly for his bride, and uttered his vow to seal the unbroken circle of love. This occurred after the couple had recited their wedding vows to each other.

"I want to offer you this ring, Addison, as a symbol and a commitment of our undying love and unwavering faith in each other. I love you." The statement made by Gideon while he lovingly glanced at the woman caused the audience to break into tears.

Addison replicated the action with a hand that was shaking. She did so while saying, "Gideon, with this ring on your finger, I wed you and vow to you my love now and forever." She then slipped the band onto Gideon's finger.

"I now declare Addison and Gideon to be man and wife because they have fulfilled their obligations to each other as outlined in the pledges they have made to one another. You are free to kiss the bride at this time."

A burst of applause broke out in the room as the two individuals locked lips in a passionate kiss. Gideon leaned close to Mrs. Smith between each kiss and said, "I love you." When their lips met, Addison responded with a chuckle and declared, "I love you until the end of time, Mr. Smith."

After the ceremony was over, Addison and Gideon entered the reception area with a smile on their faces. When someone announced their arrival, everyone shouted enthusiastically.

After some time had passed, Gideon led Addison to the center of the stage. Suddenly, an image of her and Gideon from their younger years appeared on the massive screen. Some photos of Gideon, who was watching her sleep in the Library, and some secret pictures of her face were taken without her permission.

When morning arrived, many lights flooded the area, creating a sensual atmosphere for everyone. Everyone was having a good time until an unwelcome guest wearing a red dress appeared. After that, things got awkward. After ensuring that Landon Baker wasn't watching, Felicity sat beside him.

When Landon Baker observed Felicity while attending his daughter's wedding, he did not make a fuss when he saw the woman, even during the ceremony. He instead kept silent. He does not want Felicity to attend his daughter's wedding because he does not want it ruined.

After seeing Felicity, Addison, and Gideon were at a loss for words. While looking at his wife and reassuring her that everything would be okay, Gideon held her hand. The fact that no one in the reception area acknowledged Felicity's presence drove the woman, who was already irrational, completely over the edge.

She dressed up to grab the spotlight, but Addison—that bitch took everyone's attention that should have been hers in the first place.

Felicity winced in her seat when she noticed Gideon and Addison having their first dance as newlyweds. Their smiles showed how much they cared for each other.

As Chiara witnessed her daughter's happiness, she wiped her tears and smiled at Lisa Smith, who tapped her shoulder. "My son will take care of your daughter, I assure you. If he did something wrong to Addison, I would be the first in the family to strike him." The two laughed in unison because they believed Gideon couldn't hurt his wife.

When Gideon raised his glass and extended a toast to the two, everyone else at the table followed suit and raised their glasses. The expression on Felicity's face deepened as she tightened her grip on her fist. It is only fair that she takes Addison's spot. She would become Gideon's wife, and she would be the one to carry on the Smith family name after him.

Felicity stood up. She made a face before turning her back and walking away. "Remember about the time you have left. I am going to get what is rightfully mine, Addison. In a short time, I will be the one to take your position and the fate that befalls you will be identical to that which befell your mother three months ago."
