Chapter 49

“Ms. Faith, we have a problem. Two of our models had an emergency and they said they wouldn't be able to make it today,” if I was the same old Faith, I would definitely panic and be nervous.

All of them stopped working when one of my employees in my company here said that a bit loudly. Today is the day that I have been waiting for. Another runway of mine will be done and I will not let anyone ruin this for me. It must be me who should ruin the lives of the people that I am expecting to come again.

My brows simply arched at her. “And so?”

I heard how they were flustered with how I responded. I was wearing my blank face at her, but my eyes’ sharpness couldn't be hidden. They have no idea what I will do, it's inevitable.

“Ms. Faith,” I heard my old secretary called my name beside me. I didn't look at her as I kept my eyes at the man in front of me.

“Is that my problem? Why did I even hire you if you don't know how to do problem solving?”

They started to murmur around and

    Chapter 50Elijah's POV “This is what I only want to say tonight,” I was flustered. I couldn't even move a single finger while I was staring at the woman that I have been waiting for. Her eyes shifted at me, and I knew that a lot of things changed. Her eyes that used to be filled with profound love, kindness, and softness suddenly turned into cold and blank eyes. I have been coming to her company's runway each year, hoping to see her again and make it up to her. But now that she is already in front of me and I finally hear that voice that I was yearning for, I lost all my words. My brain suddenly froze from functioning and the only thing I could hear was the deafening beating of my chest, racing. She looks so beautiful, just like before. It was what runs in my head. Her long hair is gone, but her short hair suits her a lot. She lost weight, different from the old her. “I'm back,” that's what she only said as she handed the mic back to the emcee and left the stage with Brian, the

    Chapter 51“You told him what?!” Lily almost splashed her drink while talking to me over the phone. We're here again, video calling each other. I was looking nowhere. My eyes were pinned somewhere in my hotel room after I drank the glass of water straightly. “She told him that she wants a house and she wants him to design her house,” Brian repeated when I couldn't utter a single word. I don’t know why I said that earlier. I should have not told him that. But then, I wanted to have a connection to start my plan to ruin him. “Are you out of your mind? Why would you do that?!” Lily was being hysterical all over again. She was the most shocked and affected by what I just did. “Well, I was expecting Elijah to follow him around. He's desperate, I swear.” I heard Brian chuckle. “I'm not out of my mind,” I replied when I was able to pull myself back to my senses. “Make your enemy closer, remember? I need a connection to make him suffer,” I filled my glass with water again and drank it s

    Chapter 52*Flashback*“You can't be like this forever, Faith.” Lily said while peeling the apple for me. I remained looking nowhere and had no plan to do anything else. It has been a month since we left and went here in New York. I thought I would be able to get up on my own once I left, but it's not what is happening right now. I know that I am already being a burden to my friends, but I couldn't find the courage to stand up again and continue this hellish life of mine. “How will you make them pay if you're being like this?” None of their words succeed in waking me up and pulling me back together. I heard how Lily sighed when her phone rang. “I'll come back,” she said before I heard her footsteps leaving my room. The moment she left, my eyes just landed on the knife she was using to peel the apple. It looked so sharp that I found it beautiful. “I'm tired,” so much tired. I am more than just exhausted from all the fighting. My hand was trembling when I grabbed the knife. My th

    Chapter 53I did not move the moment I first experienced her hug. In my entire life, she never once embraced me while I always saw her hugging Freya. My eyes remained on my father who was standing there with his teary eyes. It reminds me of how he stood up that night when I lost my baby. It reminds me of how he did nothing there and let his wife hurt me. It's not just about the baby. It's also about me, their daughter, but he feigned ignorance, and didn't care if I would die that night. I heard how my mother sobbed. After four years, our paths crossed again. I did not hesitate to pull her away from me as I created a space between us. I eyed her with my cold eyes while her face was already soaked with her tears. She looked different from before. I can see that she has cancer because of her weight difference from before and now. Where does she get the courage and audacity to face me and act like nothing happened? As if they both treated me as their real daughter? Rage. It was all that

    Chapter 54“Let's use my car,” I paused from going inside my car when he insisted on using his car. He was waiting for my answer while I couldn't decide yet. I eyed his car parked there; I remember that car. How can I forget his favorite car? It still looks new as before beyond the four years that passed.“Why not?” I shrugged and headed straight to his car. “You should not sit there,” my brows crossed when I was about to open the door in the back seat. “And why?” “Because I will look like your driver and I don't want that,” he chuckled and shook his head before he opened the door in the passenger seat. I just tilted my head before I came inside and waited for him to drive. “Where's the place?” He asked. “It's near my parents' house,” I looked away when I said that. I felt his stare at me when I suddenly mentioned them. He has no idea that we are actually going to their house. They gave the entire land to me, then I will use that to shatter and ruin them. Do they think that I

    Chapter 55“He asked you if we are together?” Brian asked while I was busy at my desk. I am in a rush as I still have to go to the property where my house will be built. “Yeah, maybe because you're always with me wherever I go.” It's probably because of that. I don't even know if he knows that Brian was with me in those four years that I was away from them. I heard him chuckle. “What did you say?” “I told him that he's just my architect,” I smirked after saying that. It's because I couldn't erase his image in my head the moment I said that in front of him. He looked really speechless yesterday. I feel like in his head, he's already going mad. “You should have told him that we are together,” “But we're not together,” I replied back. I don't want to lie to him about that. Instead, I want to drive him crazy with those questions in his head that would not make him sleep. “I know,” I glanced at him when his voice saddened. I blew out a light sigh as I stopped reading the papers ther

    Chapter 56I opened the long curtain to check the weather. I bit my lower lip when I saw how moody the weather was. The sky was dark like it was about to pour its tears again. The sun is not seen today.“There's a typhoon coming later, you should not go to work,” I heard Brian's voice say over the phone of Lily who was busy making breakfast. “I have to do some things in my office and check the construction site,” I uttered as I closed the curtains again. “Are you crazy? It's a super typhoon, Faith. Even Lucas' flight got cancelled because of the typhoon.” “Well, if the typhoon will arrive later, I still have time to go and work,” work is work. A typhoon cannot stop me that quickly. “She’s gone mad,” Lily commented as she served me a plate with the breakfast she cooked. “Just stay home, Faith. What if you got stranded there? Don't be so stubborn,” Brian said over the phone but I only ignored his lecture to me all over again. “Shut it, Brian. I'm going out for work,” I still said,

It's because I already saw a million of hopes and excitement from his eyes. There was happiness there and I hate to see that. How can I endure sleeping in a room where I cried a lot? To the same bed where I heard him fucking another woman to the next room in the middle of the night? I regret not listening to Brian when he told me not to leave earlier. If I only did what he told me to, I won't end up here now, having no choice at all. “Alright,” disappointment satiated his face, even his voice that saddened. A temporary silence filled the three of us. Marie was only eyeing the two of us. “There are clothes there that you can use,” he added. I just shattered his high hopes of me going back here. “I'll come with you,” Marie quickly said. If I know, she wants to come with me to ask questions and end her confusion

    Epilogue2 years later…“Levi?” My brows were crossed when my secretary, Elise, said that. “Yes, Ms. Faith. The boy said that he needs you right now,” now, my brows just arched. This is a deja vu to me. Levi always calls me when he is in trouble. I shook my head before I stood up from my swivel chair, grabbed my coat and keys, before I leave. “Alright. I'll continue the work tomorrow. You go home early if you want, Elise.” I smiled at her before I marched out of my office. It's been two years since the chaos in our lives finally ended. After that night, justice was served to my mother, Freya, and to Marie who was raped and harrassed. Though she underwent therapy for a year with all the traumas, but right now, she's living her life. Just like what I promised, I am paying for her education. “Where are you, baby?” Elijah asked over the phone with his husky voice.“Stop seducing me,” I mumbled and chuckled. I parked my car at the University where Levi is studying before I came insid

    Chapter 107 “You know what, I sometimes think that you're friends with God,” Joaquin chuckled unbelievably. “No matter how we tried to kill you, you always survive. You even tried killing yourself and yet you're still alive,” he added. He stood up as he hid his hands inside his pockets. “But not today, Faith… you're gonna die now, and I'll make sure of that.” Am I gonna die here? Is this the reason why I couldn't die when I asked multiple times to die? Only to be killed by these two psychos? “I'm not scared of death, Joaquin.” The side of my lips curled up. He can threaten me with all things, but not with death. “Why do you think I attempted suice countless times? Death, that's what I want. And if you will kill me today, then I shall be grateful because you will fulfill a wish of mine,” I might die here, but who cares? I kept asking for this, and maybe the God above is finally granting my wish. Perhaps, this is where my life ends—where all the pain ends. If my death would end

    Chapter 106 Elijah's POV “Can you fucking sit, Elijah?! You're not helping!” Lily exclaimed. I kept walking repeatedly right in front of them. Faith left earlier and until now, she's not yet coming back. It's already dark, for god's sake! “Bro, maybe she's just taking a long time dealing with that ass. Calm yourself down,” Lucas commented. “She's not answering my calls,” I already called her so many times and she didn't answer. It was only ringing but she wasn't answering it. “Well, perhaps she's still with the client,” Brian said and shrugged. “Her secretary cannot be reached,” Lily mentioned. She already looks frustrated as well. “I don't feel good about this,” her father said. I could tell that he's already overthinking right now. “They are here,” Horan said from the veranda. I was the one who quickly went out of the living room to see Faith with my own eyes. I was kinda able to breathe in relief. “See? I told you, she's fine.” Lucas said and let out a chuckle.However, w

    Chapter 105 “AHHHHH!” I screamed all my rage as I threw the furniture on the screen as the detective bid a goodbye to us. I was shaking in anger. I didn't stop from throwing the furniture around, trying to lessen my pain and hatred. “HE'S A FUCKING BASTARD! HE KILLED FREYA AND MY MOTHER!” I yelled as I ignored the tears that were dripping down on my face. I feel like all the pain and rage that I felt since the death of Freya was gathered inside me. “Faith, stop!” Elijah was so strong that he was able to capture me in his arms, refraining me from throwing another piece of furniture on the ground. As I met his eyes, I felt like I came back to my senses. And there I was, feeling feeble once again. My tears invaded my eyes until my knees folded on the ground. I let go of the furniture from my grasp and began to cry a river. None of them dared to approach me. Only Elijah was able to come near me. I feel so miserable. That bastard ruined my life the moment he tried killing me and F

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 104

    Chapter 104 Elijah and I were left standing there as we both watched the detective leave. A minute later, I saw Lucas who came back inside our car earlier. “He's calling,” Elijah said as his phone rang and I saw Horan calling. “He left,” Elijah uttered over the phone. “Stay there. Adrian is activating the tracking device,” Horan said on the line. The call was loudspeaker. “I'm sorry for what happened. I'm gonna clean this,” a real waiter came to us and immediately cleaned the mess that we purposely created in order to plant the tracking device for the detective. When the waiter finished cleaning the mess, the device was finally activated. “It's working. You can now leave, the detective is back at the station.” I was able to finally breathe when he said that. All my worries fade away in one snap. “Thank God,” I muttered. The strength I pulled in earlier vanished my body. Now, I felt weak after acting tough in front of the detective. “We should go now,” Elijah said as he quick

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 103

    Chapter 103“Are you sure you can do this?” Elijah asked the next day. Today, we're going to do the plan that we talked about yesterday. I would not deny that I feel nervous. How can't I? The detective was sharp. If he is really the culprit, then he would anticipate everything that we could do. I can't mess this up, we can't. If we succeed with this mission, we will have a chance to finally find Marie. “Of course,” I said. I gave all my best to hide my fear in front of him. I knew that if he saw how terrified I was, he would not let me do the mission. “Don't worry about me, Elijah. We have to do this in order to save Marie,” I said as I fixed his collar. I chose to look at it rather than cross his gaze that was stuck at me. I didn't want him to catch my real emotions. “This is not just to save Marie, this is also to end this war,” he added, followed by his heavy sigh as he sat on the bed, looking frustrated and bothered. He's worried, I could tell that in one glance. He doesn't

    Chapter 102 “It's not his real voice,” Adrian said while he kept repeating the voice of the culprit. I was able to record it during the call and from the video he sent. I heard Lucas chuckled. “This bastard is really smart. He's not gonna let us find out so easily who he is,” “What do we do?” I asked. “I have a plan,” we all stopped when Detective Horan arrived with some of his men following him inside. They all looked exhausted but they are still doing their job to find Marie. Lily whistled. “Interesting. Let's talk about it,” “You should take a rest for a while. There's food in the dining room. You guys should eat first,” I might be so eager and in a hurry to find Marie as soon as possible, but I also care for their health. In order for them to look for Marie, they must have enough strength to do so. We let everyone rest for the meantime. Elijah and I went to our room just to spend some of our time together. We were back on the bed, cuddling, while staring at the empty ceilin

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 101

    Chapter 101 With the days passed and we still had nothing to find Marie, I tried distracting myself for my own sake. But it is just really hard to do that, especially that I see all of them working so hard to look for her. “It's good to sit here early in the morning while drinking coffee,” Lily muttered. It's 6 am and we are both on the veranda, watching the peaceful view of the garden in front of us. There was still fog that covered the place a bit and I could still feel the cold that naturally comes every morning. There were no people working to find Marie yet. Well, this day is just about to begin. “Well, you're drinking milk.” I reminded her and we both chuckled with that. She was caressing her belly, which is already huge now. The aroma of my coffee is filling the entire veranda. I do love mornings like this, but I will love it more if Marie isn't in the hands of the culprit. I don't know what will happen today, but I hope we can find something that will lead us to Marie.

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 100

    Chapter 100After the video was sent to us, I hired more people to look for Marie. Detective Horan didn't let his guards down, too. His entire team is working their fingers to the bone to find Marie. The video that we watched kept playing in my head. That bastard punched Marie and it crumpled my chest all the time. She did nothing wrong in life to deserve things like this. “I should have just come with her,” I said with so many regrets. I should have just disregarded my meetings so I could be with her. If I didn't let her enroll by herself, she would not be in that culprit’s hand. She would not experience that kind of thing in her life.“It happened for a reason,” Elijah said while holding my hand. We are outside the clinic of my Psychiatrist. I am here for another check up and I would not be surprised if she says that I am not getting any better. I have been stressed with everything and I could not even make a good sleep. “What reason?” I glanced at him bitterly.I don't see any
