Double-sided Revenge Chapter One: Sour Goodbye.
Chapter One: Sour Goodbye.“ Sssshhh” Ruben sucked in cold air in an attempt to ease the splitting headache threatening to tear his head apart. “Mr Ruben, you have come a long way from being Mr Janssen’s lackey. This is wonderful. I heard your app hit five million downloads within a few hours of its launch.” A crooked politician approached Ruben.“Mmh, thanks. Excuse me.” Ruben took the quickest route to the elevator.“That rude bastard, being the biggest entrepreneur in the Netherlands, must have gotten to his head.” The politician spat on the floor and walked along.The elevator stopped at the highest floor of the world-class hotel. With unstable hands, Ruben searched his pockets hurriedly for his room key card, urging himself to be quick to avoid the nosy reporters capturing him in his current state.Someone had drugged him. Ruben De Vries gritted his teeth at the thought of whoever dared to drug him, the tyrant of the tech industry. They must have lived a thousand lives to gather

Chapter 2: "I believe we have something to discuss, Miss Janssen." Six years later… Tess left the High Court after successfully clearing her client of all charges, her eyes brimming with joy and satisfaction at the number of zeros after the client credited her account. “As expected, clearing conglomerates of all the ‘false charges’ against them pays.” She looked behind her to see if anyone was following her before she walked towards the direction of a black van parked in an auspicious area by the court. “Mummyyy” A cheerful voice filled the air as a little boy ran into Tess’s embrace. His peerless blue eyes and rich brown hair is particularly outstanding, at a glance one could tell he is the son of Ruben De vries. Tess smiled widely at the sight of her intelligent son, wrapping him in her embrace, she graced his cheeks and face with wet kisses. “Luuk, my sweetheart.”“ Ugh mother! Stop doing that, I'm not a kid anymore.” Little Luuk protested against his mother's show of affection,

Chapter 3: let go of mummy‘‘I believe we have something to discuss, Miss Janssen’’ Ruben's eyes burned as he watched Tess’s nonchalant countenance, stressing the ‘Miss’ in hopes to get a reaction but she didn't crack. ‘‘Sure Mr Ruben.” Tess laughed. The rest of the people in the room didn't notice anything wrong, they thought of it as normal interaction between an employer and his employee. Ruben dragged Tess all the way to his office, meanwhile a little figure wearing a black hoodie with his face half covered watched all these play out quietly in a corner. As soon as he saw Ruben, a tinge of surprise flashed past his eyes, “ This must be my father.” Luuk thought. The weird interaction between his parents didn't escape his sharp eyes. ‘‘Father is hurting mother, that's not manly.”Ruben shut the door behind them, his eyes brimming in anger as he turned to Tess ‘‘what's the meaning of all these? Why are you here? A lawyer? You?”“ One question at a time, Mr Ruben, I can't keep up w

Chapter 4: Many crave this“Who was it?” Ruben’s eyes grazed past Luke’s tiny frame as he continued to work on his phone. “Just the neighbors, they brought dumplings.”“Dispose it.” Ruben replied sternly. “Why?” Luke protested. “Why? “ Ruben raised his head, his sharp eyes peered into Luke, he felt something change in Luke's eyes but he couldn't phantom the cause.“It was made with love, and motherly affection. She shared dumplings with us without asking for anything in return and without being asked to… Unlike your wife t-that doesn't seem to care at all.” Luke's voice broke with each word he spoke. “Luke, that's no way to speak to your mother.” Ruben corrected. “She's not my mother, she's a stranger...I have never felt motherly love from Brittany. I have had my fair share of abuse from her dad… She's not my MOTHER!“ A streak of tears fell off Luke’s face, his doe eyes made him seem even more pitiful. “Luke.” Ruben's voice softened instantly. He had always been careful with matt

Chapter 5 : "Are you Luke's friend?" “Ok, I will see you tomorrow. '' Luuk hid his inner excitement. A part of him was very happy Luke wanted to stay with Tess so desperately that he agreed instantly when he proposed the idea. Knowing Luke wouldn't back off from the plan, Luuk was rest assured he didn't have to contort a plan to convince him. “Okay! My regards to mother.” Luke replied excitedly. In his mind he already drafted a plan on the joyous days he will spend with his mother. He packed his personal credit card in a wallet and placed an order for a cloth he and Luke had agreed to wear to avoid suspicion. He begged Luke for a photo of mother but the irresponsible lad didn't have a single photo of their mother. Luke's eyes twitched with anger from the recollection. “ If I was the one living with mother, I would take numerous photos of her. Unlike that cold lad.” He clicked his tongue.Luuk sat on his reading desk, working on his computer to place the order for his clothes when he

Chapter 6: "Luke"“You did what?!” Luke’s drowsiness slipped out of his body faster than he would finish a cup of ice cream. It was currently 8am and Ruben broke the “earth shattering” news to him in his bedroom. “F-father you-” “Son, there’s no need to be that surprised haha, father is capable of such. In fact, if you want, I can make sure no one comes 100 feet close to the location of the park,” Ruben boasted heartily. His eyes were clouded with pride. He didn’t see the darkening expression on Luke’s face the more he spoke. “Father, do you realize what you have done?” Luke’s voice trembled. Ruben’s smile faded gradually as he noticed the strange tone contrary to the one he was expecting. The reaction seemed off. “W-what’s wrong Luke, why are you crying?” Ruben panicked. “Father, are you trying to alienate me from other children my age? I just want to enjoy a good time with you, while having interaction with other kids like other young people would. Why won’t you understand me?

chapter 7: "I will, it's mother."“There, I see an ice cream truck .” Tess pointed to a truck parked under a cherry blossom tree. As it's autumn, the flowers have bloomed vibrant pink colored petals. Attracting a crowd to the ice cream truck. The mouthwatering display of various flavors of ice cream contributed to the huge number of children pleading with their parents for ice cream. The ice cream truck attendant was very jovial, he amicably, in a sweet monotone told everyone to form a queue based on the earliest to arrive. Tess stood at a spot in the middle while Luuk lingered by her side. Unlike other kids with their faces full of snot and all kinds of smears from junks , and their tummy bulging, Luuk maintained a calm demeanor, actually he looked bored. He would rather read a book on space ships than waste his time on a queue with an adult for ice cream. Basically sweetened ice which is detrimental to one's health. ‘It's all for the greater course.’ He reminded himself. His eyes

chapter 8: "That was a little? "Luke sat beside Tess quietly. Relishing in the flowery scent and motherly love she emitted. He felt a little strange and nervous. His heart tickled with warmth and he felt like crying. His nose and eye lids grew red from holding back tears. His heart ached for Tess. The underlying sorrow in her aura couldn't be unmasked. Her shoulders shivered slightly and a streak of tears drifted from her eyes, all the way down to her palm. Seemingly unconscious, her eyes stayed glued to the stage without blinking. Luke watched the tears fall in the saddest, lonesome way possible. Her tears looked like a piece of tiny diamond, as it was getting darker from the heavy clouds and the lights from the water fountain manifested on her face for a few seconds. “My love, during the long hesitationI couldn’t find the right words to express my feelingsWith all my heart in those ordinary hellosI just want to ask if you’re doing wellNot knowing what to say nextI put down t

Chapter 137: “Father! That uncle looks like you.”“What’s wrong?” Aiden said in concern.“T-that man, do you know him?”“Who? Oh Don? He is the leader of the Urchins. He surfaced in the underworld a few years ago and do you know the first thing he did? He got rid of all of his relatives and thereafter claimed the urchins. It was a bloodbath.”“Do you know his history?”“Quite a bit. He originated from a small village in the underworld, ridiculed with sudden famine and drought due to change in weather, people died like chickens. This led to an increase in crime rates. The government saw this as an opportunity to buy children from the underworld at cheap rates for experimental purposes. Families resorted to selling their children. Birth rate increased and the rate of emigration increased. The balance was thrown off. I heard he was one of the unfortunate children sold off.”Aiden paused and continued in a quiet voice. “Midway through the journey, an accident of unknown causes happened, it

Chapter 136: “ How could a person’s mind be so deep?”The magistrate looked just as old as Tess pictured. His saggy, unfriendly eyes and bent posture made him appear unsightly.

She violated that rule and was arrested accordingly.” The magistrate interrupted.“So high and mighty. Then how do you explain poisoning my uncle?”“Uncle?” The magistrate asked in confusion and so was everyone in the room.They
