A Dark Agenda: A Heart of Revenge Chapter 6
Rachel snorted and looked at me scornfully. She stalked toward me, her heels clacking against the pavement. When she saw my flawless cheek, she narrowed her eyes dangerously. "Looks like the lesson you were taught in the bathroom that day didn't leave an impression."I egged her on. "Mr. Lindt couldn't bear to see a scar marring my face, after all. He hired the best dermatologist in Alden City to treat me."Rachel seethed. She clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles popped. She raised a fist, wanting to punch me. However, a man's voice rang out behind her, stopping her.She whipped around to see Gerald standing there. Her expression turned shy. However, he gave her a complicated look. Then, he sighed. "Rachel… I know all about the things you did."She froze before forcing out a smile. "I don't know what you're talking about, Gerry."He didn't even want to look at her. "You and your friends tormented and murdered an innocent young woman—you even recorded the whole thing and
A Dark Agenda: A Heart of Revenge Chapter 7
Rachel wasn't wrong. A letter alone wasn't enough to take her down. However, throughout my time as Gerald's personal assistant, I'd secretly gathered evidence on the crimes the upper crust had committed.One of the items was a torn piece of paper. Gerald had thrown it away, and I'd picked it up. I'd also painstakingly pieced together the evidence of the Somner family's "investments" by collecting the shredded documents from the shredder.It was hard to believe that a politician who wasn't all that powerful could have so much money in his account. I had to thank Rachel for leading me to this treasure trove of evidence.…Alden City underwent a massive change. The Somner family was the most powerful in the city, yet many of its senior members were thrown behind bars due to concrete evidence of the crimes they'd committed. The authorities also confiscated their massive fortune.The Somner family became nothing more than a rat scurrying through the streets. Before Rachel was convict

Rachel asked, "Can you forgive me, Lucy?"She didn't believe the Somner family had been eradicated, but she knew it was highly likely she'd get a lighter sentence if I forgave her. I was Lila's family, after all.I was so disgusted that I couldn't help dry heaving. I shook my head at her despite her pleas. She cast her pride aside and kept begging me as her tears flowed.After a while, I pulled out a wad of cash from my pocket and threw it before her, my gaze contemptuous. "There's three dollars."She looked at me, confused. I couldn't help smiling as I threw more cash. "You're really greedy. I'll give you five dollars, then. That should be enough to buy your life."Rachel had once insulted me with those words; I was merely returning the favor. She flushed in rage.A person's life was priceless, but to me, the life of a monster like Rachel wasn't even worth five dollars.As the sunlight streamed in, I ignored the insults behind me as I turned and left. I'd never felt more relaxe

Now that the police force had been cleaned of its poisonous warts, the cops immediately got to work.As the sun rose, I bought a long-distance train ticket and left Alden City with Lila's ashes. On my journey, I heard a news report. "…Dark organizations, among which the Sadler family was the leader, have been apprehended…"The scene changed to show footage of the monsters who'd tormented Lila being arrested. Isla was among them.Rachel had been sentenced to death; the Somner family and many other affluent families had to declare bankruptcy. The Lindt family was the only one who survived the crisis.I shared the photos of Gerald in bed with me online, ruining his reputation. Lindt Group's board of directors couldn't stand his smeared reputation and blamed the company's losses on him.Gerald ended up behind bars without the Somner and Sadler families' support.I shut my eyes as I stroked Lila's urn. The warm sunlight shone down on me, making me feel like Lila was caressing my face.
A Dark Agenda: A Heart of Revenge Chapter 1
The first time I, Lucy White, met Gerald Lindt, I was kneeling on the floor and diligently scrubbing it. My demeanor immediately attracted him, and he couldn't help stealing a few glances at me.The beautiful woman beside him charged toward me and slapped me hard. "Who are you trying to seduce, you vixen? Why would anyone wear a low-cut dress while scrubbing the floor?"I cupped the cheek she'd slapped, looking tearful. Still, I held my head high, revealing my slender neck. I figured I probably looked like a pure white flower standing firm in the wind.Everyone in the Somner family knew that Rachel Somner, the family's eldest daughter, was hypersensitive and got jealous easily. She was also Gerald's fiancée.She stuck her nose in the air as she clung to Gerald and said coquettishly, "I hate pretentious people like her, Gerry. She's a peasant, yet all she thinks about is seducing someone rich so that she can climb the social ladder. She must be dreaming!"She spat at me, making eve
A Dark Agenda: A Heart of Revenge Chapter 2
My vivacious sister, who always had a smile for everyone, my only family, died because a group of monsters had gone too far when "having fun" with her.The only light in my life had been heartlessly extinguished. And so, I'd transformed myself and gotten a job at the Somner residence as a lowly maid.…Gerald's hands roamed over my body after we were done. I could vaguely sense that he was satisfied with the pleasures I'd brought him.He lit a cigarette and gave me a sidelong glance. "From now on, you'll be my personal assistant. I'll make your dream come true."He thought I'd only seduced him because I wanted a more cushy job. I shook my head as tears welled in my eyes. "Being able to have your heart and mercy for a brief moment is already the luckiest thing that's happened to me, Mr. Lindt.""How did your sister die?" he suddenly asked.It took me aback. Then, I answered hoarsely, "Some monsters tormented her to death. They're rich and powerful, so they've escaped punishment t
A Dark Agenda: A Heart of Revenge Chapter 3
I wanted to tell Rachel that she'd given me a new weapon to use against her. I hoped she wouldn't blame me for being cruel.…I became Gerald's lover and moved into an upscale apartment. He frowned when he saw the mask I'd worn the whole day. "Why are you wearing a mask when it's so hot outside?"I didn't answer. Instead, I lowered my head. His patience ran out, and he grabbed me by the shoulder. I couldn't help gasping in pain; tears filled my eyes.He stripped me and pursed his lips tightly when he saw the bruises all over my body. He knew exactly what had happened and said apologetically, "Rach was spoiled while growing up. You'll have to bear with it."In Gerald's eyes, being his lover and suffering Rachel's wrath came hand-in-hand. I looked at him pitifully, which made him ruffle his hair irritably. His gaze turned cold as he looked at me. "Rachel and I have been engaged since we were young. If you can't accept that, we'll have to—"I removed the mask, making him abruptly st
A Dark Agenda: A Heart of Revenge Chapter 4
Ultimately, I accepted Gerald's offer to be his personal assistant. On the surface, I helped him handle his work, but I knew he only thought of me as a lover.I was feeding him some cherries with my mouth when Rachel burst into his office. He was icy to her, merely raising an eyebrow as an indication for her to tell him why she was there.Her eyes reddened, and she was incredulous as she said, "I can't believe you've actually gotten together with that peasant, Gerry."I smiled, my red lips alluring. "Didn't you already realize that when you heard my voice over the phone, Ms. Somner?"Oddly enough, Rachel didn't fly into a rage. Instead, she pulled out a contract with a smile. "This is an agreement on a capital investment my uncle intends to make in your company, Gerry. Dump her, and I'll give this to you."She gave me an arrogant, disdainful look. I raised an eyebrow and looked at Gerald, who was thoughtful. I couldn't help feeling a little panicked. After all, the Somner family's

I hadn't believed it at first, either. But after seeing the surveillance footage capturing those monsters dragging Lila along and later holding her broken body in my hands, I believed it.The world just was that unreasonable.Gerald narrowed his eyes at me dangerously. "I only called off the engagement to protect Rach. If I find that you're planning to hurt her…"I held up my phone before him, my face devoid of emotion. What he saw made him fall silent.The screen showed numerous photos of a bloodied and battered body from an unknown number. The person who'd sent them didn't seem to think the images were enough—they'd also sent a video of a young woman struggling and screaming for help.Rachel was in the lead. She laughed as she held up a kettle of scalding water and poured it on Lila. Lila immediately screamed in agony. "It hurts! It hurts! Save me, Lucy!"Her cries of despair reverberated in my ears, making my hackles rise. I suddenly felt my strength leave me; I slumped onto t
