<I Took Revenge On My Cheating Ex and Best friend
Chapter 23 Cracks In foundation
Sienna Hayes had always known how to navigate high society. She knew the rules, the hidden games, the way power shifted not through words, but through whispers.
She had spent years building her reputation, curating an image of elegance, prestige, and old–money sophistication.
But today?
Today, she felt eyes on her in a way she never had before.
Not admiring.
Not envious.
Suspicious.
She sat at the Blue Haven Country Club, a glass of champagne in hand, surrounded by women who had once
fawned over her, admired her, envied her.
Yet now, there was something different in the air.
Something cold.
The conversation had been normal at first–light gossip, upcoming charity events, fashion, men.
But then–the whispers began.
“I heard her family isn’t as wealthy as she claims.”
“I thought the Hayes family had old money? Someone told me their wealth only came in the last decade.”
“You know how people fabricate their past. You never know who’s real anymore.”

Sienna’s fingers tightened around her glass.
She forced herself to laugh, tilting her head gracefully. “Ladies, if you have something to ask me, do so directly. We’re not in high school.”
The women exchanged glances, the fake sympathy in their eyes burning like acid.
“Oh, Sienna,” one of them, Juliette Montgomery, cooed. “You know how people talk. I’m sure it’s all nonsense.”
But the damage was already done.
Because Sienna knew how this world worked.
Once a seed of doubt was planted, it never truly disappeared.
And she had a very good idea who had planted it.
Ariana.
That bitch.
By the time Sienna got home, her rage was boiling over.
She found Liam in his office, brows furrowed, his phone in his hand.
He looked up as she stormed in, his jaw already tight. “What now?”
Sienna slammed her clutch on his desk. “She’s trying to destroy me, Liam!”
Liam rubbed his temples. “Who?”
Sienna let out a sharp, humorless laugh. “Ariana! Who else?”
Liam exhaled, leaning back. “What did she do this time?”

Shar’s expression darkened “hod did you
The stance that followed was too long.
Foo selling
Seone’s puke spiked.
“Low” she said slowly, “You’re not actually questioning me, are you?”
Lima stood, his presence towering over her, his voice low, cold. “You manipulated me into cheating on Ariana, oldn’t you?”
Sienna’s breath caught
it wasn’t a question
it was a realization.
Liam’s eyes flashed with something unfamiliar.
Something close to resentment.
“You planted doubt in my head,” he continued, his voice quiet but dangerous. “You made me believe Ariana was pulling away, that she didn’t need me. You wanted me to destroy what I had with her.”
Sienna swallowed. “Liam, 1-”
His fist slammed against the desk.
“Don’t,” he snapped. “Just don’t.”
Sienna’s heart pounded.

She had never seen him like this before
tism had always been confident, in control, untouchable.
But now?
Now, he looked like a man who was finally realizing how much he had lost.
And who he had lost it for
Sienna’s panic surged.
She had fought too hard for this,
For him.
She stepped forward, her voice softer, pleading
“Liar, don’t let her win.”
His jaw ticked. “She already has.”
Sienna stilled.
Because in that moment–she knew.
She was losing him.
Ariana wasn’t just destroying her reputation.
She was dismantling everything.
And if she didn’t do something fast-
She was going to be left with nothing.

Chapter 23 Cracks In foundation
Across the city, Ariana lounged in her penthouse, sipping on a glass of wine, watching the dominoes fall.
She had received a message from Mila earlier.
Mila: It’s working. Sienna is losing credibility in her circles.
Ariana had smiled.
Good.
She scrolled through her phone, her eyes landing on a name.
Damian.
Her finger hovered over his contact before she exhaled, setting the phone down.
Because right now?
She wasn’t thinking about Damian Blackwood.
She was thinking about how to make sure Sienna Hayes never recovered.
Because this wasn’t just revenge anymore.
This was a reckoning.
