Billionaire's Perfect Revenge Chapter 26
[MADDOX]“To a new beginning.” I raised the toast. “Cheers!” And took a sip, grinning to myself and watching her as the look on her face turned from annoyed to skeptical, before a small glimpse of panic shone in her baby-blue eyes.By the time I put the glass back on the small dining table where I stood presently, she had already taken a step back.“Why exactly are you here, Maddox?” she asked, slightly panicked, mostly suspicious.It did not slip my mind that it was the first time she called me by my first name. I decided at that moment that I quite liked it that way. My name on her soft plump lips. As I remembered the way they tasted that night at her place, in her bedroom, on her bed, blood prompted in the south.God, this woman could make a man horny just by saying his name.“Why don’t you make an educated guess?” I hummed nonchalantly and shifted my gaze from her to the rest of the room around.It was a decent two-bedroom apartment.The walls were bland. No paintings. No picture

[ZARA]If only I hadn’t been so careless…God, why did I leave the album out there in the open? After making sure Armonica or Brandon didn’t get their hands on it, I stupidly left it on the dining top after cleaning up the room. How dumb could I be?Then again, it wasn’t like I was expecting company.Maddox Richmond just dropped by uninvited.The asshole. The bane of my existence. The jerk who couldn’t keep his dick in his pants.I thought in exchange for the album, he was probably trying to get his way with me. It wasn’t rocket science to read him, the kind of creep that he was.He wasn’t doing an outstanding job of hiding the lust and want from his eyes. I could practically see the reel of that night playing in his mind, in the way the corner of his lips twitched to the side, the way he held me close and breathed in my scent and the shudder that travelled down his chest.All the signs were there.Except, it wasn’t as if with him in the same room I could think of something else eithe

“Not happening, Mr Richmond. And in case you’re forgetting the most important thing,” I turned my face to look at him and raised an eyebrow. “I still hate you. Like a lot. So much that I want to strangle you right now. I don’t think having me around would be safe for your health, well, or life, for that matter.”Instead of being offended, he chuckled at my words.Jerk!“Well, what can I say—perhaps I love to live dangerously,” he grinned.“I don’t,” I grimaced. “I have no plans of going to prison.”“Then don’t kill me. Simple.”“Not so simple. Especially when seeing your face—all I want is to chop it with that butcher knife in my kitchen drawer.”“Jesus, didn’t take you to be so violent,” he sounded surprised and I almost felt a flicker of pride curling my lip up. “It kind of looks hot on you, though.” But then he opened his mouth again, and I mentally groaned.Fuck me!“You know what? If you’re not inclined to leave soon, maybe I should be the one out,” that’s it. I couldn’t take thi

[ZARA]Call me insane, but it was the first time I really looked into his eyes. And really noticed how deep and ridiculously gorgeous they were. The light that sank on his face always tricked me into believing they were a sort of hazel. They were not. Weirdly, under the light of the room, and the shadows that captured his sturdy face, they appeared to be green. The green that reminds one of the fresh wands of grass and the force of nature in the wild.Did he know his eyes changed colours? Or was it just another trick of the light?“Is that a yes?” he asked. His deep baritone voice grazed my ears and swept down my throat.After Maddox jumped over me, fastened my wrists with his tie and held them over my head, I had been a gasping and panting mess. Words had abandoned me, and all I could do was blink and gaze into his eyes. His face stood so close that I could feel his hot breath brushing the front of my face, his masculine scent stronger than ever, waking up those butterflies that I ha

“Did I tell you how sexy you look in that robe?” Coming back over to me, he sat down with one leg on the floor while the other folded on the couch. Sinking his hand behind my back, he helped me sit up and adjusted my back against the hand rest. My wrists were still bound, but he seemed in no rush to release me from the torture.“The moment I saw you, I wanted to peel it off you,” he whispered huskily, not even trying to hide all those sinful things he wished to do with me.He leaned in to press a kiss on my jaw. “And then take you on this very couch.”I sucked in a sharp breath, my head space dazed and devoid of all thoughts and worries. The only thing that mattered right now was the pulsing ache between my legs that only he could fill.“Just fuck me al—”But he didn’t let me complete it. This time when his lips came slamming onto mine, there was no softness or gentleness or slowness in his crusade.It was rough, brutal, and absolutely mind-numbing.Lips smashed, teeth clashed, tongue

[ZARA]The anniversary celebration at the luxurious hotel owned by the Gracias family was more lavish than I expected. But I should have known better.Armonica came from a wealthy family and she seemed like a person who would spend every penny of hers if it contributed to someone’s happiness. She was a devoted daughter, and it’d be a lie if I wasn’t looking forward to meeting her parents, curious if they had any similarities, or what sort of people raised a wonderful girl like her. Although they probably wouldn’t have time, seeing the long queue of affluent and important people loitering all around them.It went without saying when Brandon and I made it to the venue and Brandon’s gaze fell on her, waiting for us at the entrance, he took fifteen extra seconds to pull his bearings together. He could barely breathe at the sight of her. And even though I had gotten used to his flustered reaction around this girl, it still baffled me that he was the same guy who used to be an annoying play

“Oh great, now I’d have to get another one,” grumbling, the woman fixed me with a glare before stamping her heels away.I watched her retreating with a was she alright look on my face.Maddox chuckled. “Come on, let me help you clean up!” He moved his arm around my back and led us towards the opposite side of the entrance.I was still in a daze about what happened, a little unhappy that my dress was ruined. I had spent an unreasonable amount of money on it at the convincing of Armonica. It was too late to realize that instead of leading me to the lady’s room at the other end of the hallway, Maddox pulled me to an elevator and punched for the floor.“Wait, the washroom is on—”But he didn’t let me finish. The moment the doors of the elevator slid shut, he pinned me to the wall and slammed his lips on mine. My heart jumped at the familiar softness of his mouth, and the strong and addictive fragrance of his cologne. The kiss was hard and rough and urgent. As if he had been waiting for it

[MADDOX]“Now, even the newspapers know about it! When are you going to bring her to meet me?”It was the third time mom mentioned the article going viral in newspapers and other business magazines. A picture of me and a woman in a black dress. They took the picture at my uncle’s anniversary party and, of course, the girl in black was none other than Zara Fisher.Someone snapped it right before we got into the elevator.The good thing was that only Zara’s back was visible. The idea of people knowing about her made me apprehensive from the inside and made me sick as fuck.Not because I was embarrassed to have her by my side. But because I was not. If anything I felt like a fucking vagrant who won a lucky jackpot. The root of my concern was the undeniable truth that there were people who could see her as my vulnerability and try to cause her harm. I might not be sure about my feelings referring to her, but I definitely didn’t want her to be rolled up in the tangle of this wicked busines

[ZARA]I play with the button on his shirt and grin. “What if I told you, it wasn’t exactly our first meeting?”He looks puzzled. “What do you mean? Have we met before? When?”“Five months before we met in your office.”“Are you serious?” Sitting straighter, he adjusts me on his lap while I move my arms around his round shoulder. “When? And why don’t I remember anything?”“In the restaurant where I used to work. You know, the one you had me fired from?” I arch an eyebrow, still pissed at what he did.He’s quick to apologize, his warm fingers exploring the expanse of my back. “I think we already established the fact that I was a dick then. Can we move on? Please?”“Alright.” I roll my eyes and laugh when he tickles my sides. “You were there with a few of your employees, and as luck would have it, we were also running low on staff. So, I came up to take your order.”“You did what?” He looks so shocked, it makes me grin wider. “What the hell was I doing?”I shrug. “I don’t know? You were

“With contacts like him, dad found me within an hour. I was in the hospital. Badly beaten and bruised. Yet, the first thing dad did when he saw me in the hospital bed was to throw everyone out of the room and slap me hard. He told me I was lucky to be outside because if we were at home, he would have broken my legs if that’s what it took to stop me from being a brat.”“But…” a small smile curled at the corner of his lips. “Little did he know we weren’t alone in that room. When he tried to hit me again, a notebook smacked the side of his face.”“What?” Did I hear him right? “Who did that?”Maddox looked at me before turning his gaze back to the warm fire. “A little girl. Not over nine. She was so tiny and yet so fierce in front of my dad. She even shouted at him to leave me alone. Dad was furious. Oh, you should have seen his face. He literally turned red. Before dad could react, another man stepped into the room. He was the father of that little girl and later I came to know they were

*ONE MONTH LATER*[ZARA]There’s a knock on the door and the first thing I do is look up at the time.It’s five past midnight. That can only mean two things.One: The person outside is in a grave emergency.Two: Someone is here to rob us, but has the decency to announce his presence so we could prepare for the worst.But when I step out of my room and look through the peephole, breath hitches in my throat for an entirely different reason.Maddox stands outside with a sweeping backdrop of snow.I don’t think twice before unlocking the door and pulling it open. A flurry of chilly nights whips me in the face, shooting a blunt shiver down my spine.“What are you doing here?” There had to be a good reason for him to show up at this godawful hour of the night. “Is Louis, okay?”It’s only been a month since we all learned of Nadine’s brutal death. News that took everyone by surprise and the whole media by storm. Even after a month had passed, we could find people on the streets, in shops and

Ten minutes later, Zachary, Kevin and Zara walk out of the house, too. They are still in some sort of conversation when Zara finally notices me and holds my gaze for a little longer than I expected. I’m the first one to look away and instantly feel like a fucking coward.Every cell—every bone—in my body screams at me to make this right, to bring her back home no matter what it takes. But a huge part of me is as clueless as a newborn baby. It doesn’t know what to say or what to do to convince her to come back into my life—to give me another chance. Do I even deserve a second chance? It’s because of me she had to endure so much that only became her fate because I couldn’t let go. I didn’t know how to.“Are you ready to go?” I hear Kevin ask as he made his way over to where I stand near their car. He looks around. “Where’s Nathan?”“He left.” I fill him in. “Something came up. I hope it’s alright if I tag along.”“Are you kidding me?” For the first time, he doesn’t look like he’s about t

[MADDOX]It’s odd how often I have driven by her house, but never really cared to turn my head and look. But now that I stand in front of it, I know why she fought so hard to take it back.The house is nothing out of a fairy tale. It’s decently constructed, has only one floor and is yellow. Not just any yellow but the one that makes you question why someone would do that to their house. Do they not love it? Is that supposed to be a punishment for the eyes of the beholder? How could a house be so yellow? It’s literally tormenting.But maybe it’s because I have known Zara long enough that I can tell you for sure this is just her way of showing a middle finger to the world. A message in capital letters that she doesn’t care about and can’t be bothered by the opinions of others. She’s gonna be herself no matter what and the rest of the world can simply fuck themselves.If one can look past the yellowness of the house, one would see the details that make this house a home. There’s a picket

“Thanks for coming on such short notice. Mr Gracias. Mr Richmond.” Officer Newman greeted us, gesturing us to take seats.Zachary and I took seats across from him while Nathan and Kevin decided to wait outside.“It’s no problem, officer. How can we help?” I asked.“Well, as we conversed over the phone, we found some bodies. They are, as expected, burnt and impossible to recognize. The face, that is. And because, Mr Gracias, your sister is still missing, we were hoping you will be willing to go through the accessories and clothes we found on the victims. This will help us narrow down our options and decide what the next course of action should be.”“Of course.” Zachary said, and for the first time, I caught the strain in his voice.“Great.” Officer Newman said and retrieved three transparent packets from the desk behind him. Carefully, he laid them all on the table and stood up. “I’ll give you guys a minute.”’Once the officer left us alone in the room, I turned to face Zachary. “Do yo

[MADDOX]“How long are you gonna sulk?” Nathan asked, and the whim to throw him out of the car was exhausting.“I’m NOT sulking.” Without saving him a single glance, I told him as calmly as possible. I looked outside the window instead and searched for a familiar face.Five minutes ago, we pulled up outside the police headquarters. Zachary and his brother, Kevin, were supposed to meet us here. For now, all I could see were cops and irrelevant people moving in and out of the building. No sign of the Gracias family.“And not growing any younger, either.” Nathan deadpanned, and I finally decided to fix him whatever glare.“Did you just make a joke about my age?” That should be hardly any concern to me. Especially when mom did it all the time. But since the moment I woke up this morning, I hadn’t been in the mood to take anyone’s shit. It might have had something to do with the fact Zara ended everything between us yesterday and left for good. Actually, fuck that! My mood was spoiled beca

“It’s not true.” He retorted, but when I gave him a pointed look, he shut his mouth and let me finish.“That what you think, what you say and what you do is best for everyone. That you have the right to decide for everyone because, in your head, no one is more capable than you are. You’re so controlling that you don’t even care how suffocating that could be for someone. In fact, not just me, for anyone at all. You make the rules and expect everyone to follow them without question. You are so deep in your head that you’ve become delusional. No one can reason with you because you don’t listen and neither do you trust. You know of whom you remind me?”There was a beat of silence before he spoke, the crease across his forehead tightening. “I am NOT like Richard.”“No. You aren’t. But you’re no different either. You are just as tyrannical, if not less.”He peered down at his hands and shook his head. “I…I don’t know how that happened.” A look of surprise crossed his face, water glistening
Billionaire's Perfect Revenge Chapter 93
[ZARA]I woke up in a dark room.For a second, I thought I was back in that hellhole.I sat up with a jolt, so fast my head swayed and the entire room spun. A dark figure loomed near the foot of the bed and fear hijacked my mind.I whimpered, feeling something hard against my back, stuck in the middle of a shadow of the man and something that barred me from crawling backwards. Panic prickled the back of my neck, chewing at the little sanity I still had intact. But it was only when the shadow moved and took a step closer, I screamed like hell.“Zara!” Someone called. It came from the dark figure. “Calm down. It’s me.” He said and took another, cautious step in my direction. The shaft of light sneaking from the cracks between the curtains struck his face. My shoulders dropped, and panic melted when it hit me who he was.“Brandon?” It really was him. But…“Shit! I didn’t know you could screech like that.” He said and I could tell he was trying to act all cool while from the inside he was
