Billionaire's Perfect Revenge Epilogue (2)
“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

[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
Billionaire's Perfect Revenge Chapter 1
[MADDOX] “You are fired!”I could not break this news in simpler words than these, and I wasn’t reveling in the way she was ready to break down right in front of me, either. When someone did that, didn’t you feel a surge of guilt come at you from all sides, seeking to smother, strangle, and wreck you until you gave up or gave in?Yeah, that one. Nope. I didn’t feel that.“Oh, come on, Ms. Williams, we both knew this day was coming. Your probation period expired months ago, and you haven’t met a single target. No sale. No job.” I said it casually. I could hear the crackles of domineering power in my voice and didn’t have to estimate what it might be for Genevieve Williams, twenty-five, to be on the receiving end of.However, before Genevieve could respond legitimately on how and why she may still be a benefit to my firm, the door to my office cabin burst wide open, and a man in a crisp black suit came inside with all the authority in the world.The authority I did not remember giving
Billionaire's Perfect Revenge Chapter 2
Jade and I got out of the building in no time and drove separately in our own cars.A familiar bungalow came into view.I parked in the driveway and tossed the keys to the guard standing near the door as I shuffled inside. Jade was already in. Her handbag was tossed onto the couch in the living room.The entire place was thoroughly illuminated, but no one was in sight. I knew exactly where to find Jade, so I headed upstairs, taking off my leather jacket and draping it over a chair before turning down a hallway, focusing on one door among many secured ones.I could hear an enigmatic sound from the other side, and even though I hadn’t opened the door yet, my ears perked up. But when I finally entered, I saw a sight that knocked the air out of my lungs—in a good way.A woman was tied up in a chair. Her blonde hair was rumpled and messy, her skin sweaty, and her clothes wrinkled and blotched with hideous stains of blood. Thick red liquid oozed from a nasty cut on the side of her forehead.
Billionaire's Perfect Revenge Chapter 3
[ZARA]A little lie hurts no one, right?Since a very young age, I’ve struggled to contain my ever-growing temper. I still do. I don’t know.Maybe something is wrong with me. Maybe the nerves shooting emotions into the brain are shorter and faster in my case. Or maybe folks are just plain stupid. Could be anything, really.Like every other person in the world, I have my limitations. I don’t like myself, don’t think anyone does. Not with the temper that I always bristle with. After all, people stay away from those who make a scene. And the experience I have in that department, it’s impossible to break that record.But causing a scene and drawing unwanted attention to yourself doesn’t happen out of a hobby. No one enjoys the look of ‘what a weirdo’ people define them with. No one. Trust me.But sometimes, you just don’t have a choice. Or control, in my case. Although this time, there is a legitimate reason to support my actions.For the last few years, the men from R & R Developers have
Billionaire's Perfect Revenge Chapter 4
[MADDOX]For the first time in my life, I hated the emptiness of my cabin. It annoyed me so much that I wanted to tear this place apart with my bare hands and burn that fucking door.Barking dogs seldom bite. That’s how the phrase goes. But this crazy-ass woman, who stormed out of my office with that flippant attitude, leaving a throbbing imprint of her hand on my cheek, not only yelled her ass off but also bit me.Fuck. How dare she?I clenched my fists, trying to quiet the frenzy of anger coursing through my body. I grimaced at the screen of my phone before dialing a number and anxiously waiting for the call to be answered. It took everything in me not to pursue that stupid girl to her doom. I rolled my shoulders to keep myself from doing anything stupid, like taking the pistol from my drawer and firing a hole in the middle of her head. The fact that I wasn’t easily irritated said a lot about how angry I was right now.The moment Josh came on the line, I snarled, “Office. Now!”I hu

[ZARA]“I have nothing to tell you. Simply get out of my restaurant!” Nicholas Samuel snapped with an angry sneer, pointing his fat finger at the door.I wish I could tell you I knew what was going on here. I couldn’t.Nicholas Samuel was the owner of the restaurant where I worked, and I had been the manager until he arrived at work this morning in a terrible mood and abruptly fired me. I had only taken three days off, and when I returned to work, this jerk sacked me in front of the entire crew.What’s with people humiliating me these days?I had been enraged ever since the incident at Richmond’s office. When I went to visit him the next day, as I had promised, he had taken a flight to New Jersey for an urgent meeting.I knew he was warding me off. What a wimp!“But—I don’t understand. How could you—how could this—what have I done? Is it because I took three days off from work? Is this—” He extended his hand to signal me to be quiet, not letting me finish.“It’s not about your damn le
Billionaire's Perfect Revenge Chapter 6
[ZARA]“Thank you for doing this on such short notice, Brandon. I don’t know what more to say.”Nicholas Samuel fired me almost three months ago, and my life has been a living horror ever since. I’m not sure who to blame for this dreadful run of bad luck that doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon.I don’t know what to do.For starters, I haven’t been able to land a single decent job in the entire city, let alone the local area. I was even willing to travel three hours each way via metro to interview at a four-star hotel that had shown interest in my résumé. But before my hopes could materialize, like a personal reminder of hell, they hired someone else while I waited endlessly for their call.For the following three months, this continued, and I’ll be honest with you: I’ve become hopeless and depressed.I’m not sure where my life is going. How am I expected to get out of this hellhole?Right now, my mother is the only bright spot in my life. She has been incredibly supportive. She sa

*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
Billionaire's Perfect Revenge Chapter 98
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
Billionaire's Perfect Revenge Chapter 97
[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
