Chapter 59

Chapter 59

The typhoon destroyed nature and a lot of buildings around. The construction of my house continued and they still have to clean everything first before starting the building of the house.

“What do you mean you want more?” Brian asked while we were having breakfast together in the hotel.

“He's not yet struggling, Brian. I want to trample him on the ground until he cannot stand anymore and wear a freaking smile on his face,” what did he say? He will get me back? Then I will show him what I am capable of.

“So, what do you want?” That's the big question now. Aside from making him struggle as he chases me, I want more than that. I want her to be torn inside and out and completely ruin his entire life.

“I can find the women he fucked and brought to your house before,” Lily mentioned, which captured my attention in one snap.

“Then what?” Brian asked.

“Pay her and make her speak about the past. She has to tell the entire world how Elijah cheated on me,” I found a little sly smirk glued beside my lips. A brilliant idea was finally found.

“That would ruin him,” Brian uttered. Exactly why we have to do it. I don't just want a part of him to be torn, I want the entire him to tear apart to the point that he couldn't pick up his broken pieces.

“What? He was the one who will ruin himself, not us. All we have to do is to expose him,” I couldn't even conceal that smirk I was wearing. The people have no idea why Elijah and I divorced when our marriage didn't even last for a year. Exposing the real reason behind it would ruin his image and it will affect his career as well.

“So, you want me to find them?” Lily asked again.

“Yeah, do it for me, Lily.”

“No problem,” she replied.

Before heading to the hotel, I stopped by the construction of my house to check everything out. It was too noisy there because of the construction. Everyone was so busy as well.

“I want materials that will make it resilient,’’ I said to Engr. Calvera.

“Of course, I made sure that every material that will be used is resilient enough for the house,” he proudly assured me.

“What about you parents? Where did they stay?” That's the question that ruined my mood swiftly. I looked away and shrugged at him. I don't give a fuck if they sleep on the streets.

“It doesn't matter,” I replied.

“I gave them shelter,” I didn't bother looking beside me when I heard that voice intervening with our conversation.

“Really?”

“Yeah. I have a condo, so I let them stay there.” I remained silent while he was saying that. I acted like I didn't hear him at all.

“If you want to visit them, I can give you the address, Fai—”

I faced him immediately, which made him pause from speaking.

“Why would I visit the people who disowned me?” My brows raised a bit from him. He always acts like everything is fine, as if they did nothing wrong to me when they were the ones who ruined me entirely.

“Just update me with everything and call me if you need something. I have to go,” I hid my hands in my pants’ pockets as I marched out of there.

“Faith,” I shut my eyes firmly when I heard Elijah's voice again.

“Yes, Architect?” I really emphasized the word ‘Architect’ drawing a huge space between us.

“Have you eaten? Maybe we can eat together?” I almost laughed in front of him. Is he seriously asking me out and having a meal with him? Where is he getting the courage to do this after everything?

“I prefer eating alone, sorry.” That was sarcastic. I fake a smirk before I turn my back to him.

“Should I buy you food?” My brows arched when he stopped me from opening the door of my car. I can't believe I am seeing how desperate he is. Well, he said he will do everything.

“Can you stop, Elijah?” I wasn't able to show my annoyance to him.

“You're being desperate,” I commented with my vex painted all over my face. I even rolled my eyes as I opened the door of my car.

“I won't stop,” he said, which made me pause for a while. I glanced at him and he was eyeing me with those convincing eyes again as if he was being surreal and pure this time.

“You know that,” he added. I remained looking at him for a few seconds before I intentionally slammed the door of my car and left him there.

Let's see until when he can last being like this.

“He is inviting us to his runway, Ms. Faith. He also wants to have a collaboration with us,” my brows arched while looking at the presentation of my employee. As far as I can remember, I told them to expand the sales and the people we are reaching.

“Martin Larux?” I just smirked. I know him well. He's one of the famous fashion designers but he is also infamous for using people who are bigger than him to drag his sales up.

“I asked you to expand the sales, not to expand our connection. I don't need a fucking collaboration!” They all gasped when I slammed my hand on the table as I locked the presenter with my fuming mad eyes.

“I-I’m sorry, M-Ms. Faith!” He quickly knelt on his knees, looking so terrified.

“Calm down, Ms. Faith.” My secretary whispered beside me. None of them dared to cross my eyes; they were all just looking on the floor.

“Fix this,” I uttered before I headed out of the meeting room.

“Frustrated?”

My lips parted when I saw him standing in front of my office.

“Lucas!” I exclaimed as I quickly ran towards him and gave him a tight hug. It has been a while since we saw each other. He has been very busy with his shoots.

“How are you? Are you done filming?” I asked immediately.

“You missed me that much, huh?” He chuckled. Lucas is already a brother to me. Of course, I would miss his presence.

“Kind of,” I uttered as we went inside the office.

“I'm done with everything. I'll rest for a month now before my next project,” he mentioned and sat comfortably on the couch.

“Can you get us something to eat and drink?”

“Sure, Ms. Faith.” My secretary quickly left us alone inside to obey what I asked her to do.

“So, should we go out together with Brian and Lily?”

I frowned. “Oh, I can't tonight. I have a lot on my plate. How ‘bout tomorrow?”

He nodded. “Sounds good,”

“When did you arrive?”

“Just last night. I took some rest before going here. Brian and Lily have no idea that I'm already here,” he was supposed to be here earlier, but the typhoon happened and his flight was cancelled.

“You can go to my hotel. Brian is always there and I am still with Lily. We will move to her condo soon,” I explained.

“I'll go there later. By the way, I heard all the news. So, you have a connection with your ex-husband again?” His brows raised, giving me those detective stares.

“I need a connection between us to make him pay,” I quickly explained.

“Brian told me that he's being desperate,” I didn't know that Brian didn't miss out a single detail.

“He is,”

“Be careful, Faith. You're playing with fire, you wouldn't want to end up getting burned again,” I only heaved a sigh. I know what I'm doing now.

“Don't worry, I got this, Lucas.”

Lucas stayed there for a few hours before he decided to go first to our hotel. I finished everything I needed to do that day before I headed back to my hotel as well.

“The workaholic is here,” Lily joked and chuckled when I arrived and I found them there, except for Brian.

“Where's Brian?” He's the only one who's not present.

“Oh, he has a photoshoot. He said he messaged you. You didn't read it, did you?” I titled my head and shook my head. I didn't check my inbox all day.

“Let's have dinner before I go to my hotel. I should have booked a room in the same hotel,” he sighed with disbelief and dismay.

“Hold on, someone's calling.” We turned silent as Lily took the call.

“Yes? Any updates?” Her eyes went at me while she was on the phone.

“Don't hang up,” she uttered, not leaving me with her eyes.

“What?” I asked, having no idea what's going on.

“They found one of his girls,” I froze the moment I heard that.

“Girls? What are you talking about?” Lucas has no idea about what's happening.

“She's willing to do it for money,” Lily added.

“What are you guys planning?” Lucas asked again.

“I'll pay her a million. Let her do it live on social media,” I crumpled my hand on my lap.

“Do it,” Lily commanded and ended the call.

This is how I make people pay for their debts, Elijah.
