Her Perfect Revenge CHAPTER 32: Saving Me.
"Rox? She can't possibly be talking about him or having anything to do with him?" I heard Thorn say as if arguing with someone I couldn't see yet."He's too much of a risk, I know that, and he has unfinished business with Father; I don't need to tell you how much of a risk Father is", I heard Thorn joke. I took a file in my hands, I didn't want to look at the door, as I was unsure of who was coming in with him."Hello, I'd love to have a word with you." He let out, coldly. It now suddenly seemed like his flare for me was gone, or let me just say, the flare I thought he had for me. It was all gone. He had now reverted to how cold he used to be.I, however, decided to match his energy. He was alone. It appeared that he was soliloquizing. "Sure, go on. Good day." I replied in the coldest demeanour I could muster. I could see he wasn't expecting that."What do you know about Rox, my brother related the discussion you both had about him to me. Why do you know him as Agar and we, Rox?" He a

I sat there for the passing seconds, there was an awkward silence in the room. Thorn just stared into space blankly without saying a word. I could see he was drenched in his thoughts and I didn't want to interrupt."Nox is not your biological father. Don't argue with me. Just conduct a DNA test, and you'll affirm it there. Freda told me so much about your family. It seemed like she knew she didn't have a much longer time.""Nox, your uncle, in actuality, killed your parent, so he could take over all that his brother worked for." I said, about to continue when he cut in, "If this is so, then why hasn't he killed us up until now? Why did he just let us stay alive?" Thorn asked, pasting a vengeful look on his face."He needs you both and that's why he hasn't. There's a safe your parents left behind, inside that safe is contained everything he needs to overthrow you both and assume complete ownership. But he has no access to it." "Your parents had a blacksmith manufacture a special safe

I slowly got up, making my way out and still trying to confirm my assertions. Was she really who I thought she was? Or was it my overly sensitive mind playing on me, I wondered. "Here, Ma'am." I heard the waiter say, handing out the drink I had ordered.I grabbed the glass of wine and gulped it down, dropping the cup abruptly in the tray; I stormed out and rushed out of the place, shocked; I couldn't believe my eyes. Why would she cheat on someone as amazing as Thorne? I questioned.Was he even all of that? I stopped to ask myself for a moment. He definitely would be and was. She wouldn't be with him in the first place if he wasn't. I was weirdly relieved, knowing that I now had something against her."Good morning, Thorne," I greeted; seeing him walk into my office, I knew he had come for more information on the issues arising that included his father. I, however, wasn't in the mood for all of that. I was drenched in the heap of work I had to do."Anything now?" I asked, looking squa

"You're so beautiful, Gianna." He let out, his coarse baritone voice echoing throughout the room. "Can you... Just stop..." I said, not wanting him to stop. I was on cloud nine and I didn't want him to stop, not even for a split second."I've always wanted you. But I don't know if you've seen or noticed that." He whispered in my ears, sending intense chills down my spine. "You need... To...." I managed to let out before he bit my neck lightly.He was trying to get me aroused for something more intense, and I didn't want that to happen. I didn't want to have such a record of sleeping with my boss. I thought to myself. From nowhere, I found the strength to push him lightly off me. "We don't have to do this," I whispered, getting up."Do what? We're not doing anything..." He said, despite himself. "How?" I asked, rolling my eyes, as I arranged my shirt that was now in disarray. I arranged my hair too. I left his office immediately; I didn't want to waste any more time before things got o

"You are not alone", I had Thane say clearly behind me; I knew too well it wasn't just my imagination at play; he wanted me. I looked around the room, just to make sure we were alone."Good morning, Miss Gianna; today looks indeed promising", he said, casting a knowing glance at me. "Thane, good ....morning, how do you ...do?" I said, smiling pleasantly at him."Very well, thank you", he responded politely, blushing. "What brings you into my office yet again?" I asked him, looking intently at him. "Are you asking me that?" He retorted, walking in my direction."Close your eyes." He said, looking lovingly at me. "Close my eyes? Why should I close my eyes?" I asked stubbornly. "Can you just do as I say and close your eyes!" He exclaimed, chuckling lightly."Alright... Alright alright... But I'm not one to love these surprises that much." I said, then you'll love them starting from today." He said, wrapping his arms around me. "My eyes are closed and I'm waiting, so spill already!""You

The battles Jora had faced contributed a great deal to the fact that she now had to settle with Agar, who made life even more unbearable for her. I sat there, remembering vividly how exactly she told me the story, trying to distract myself from Diane, the recruit."Why can't you take my life? God? I can't communicate... I can't speak! Why do you have to keep me alive?!" She said silently, crying. She cried till she had no more tears left to cry, and she drifted off to sleep, finally.The night of that day had given way to the bright, beautiful morning which was a Tuesday, and also the day for our class presentation.They were this trio who were friends in the same grade as Jora and me. Paul was attracted to both Hannah and Doris; he, however, was also strangely attracted to Jora because of her calmness and quietness.Jora was quiet, not because she wanted to be, but because she had to be. Paul had noticed her on the first day he saw her, which happened to also be her first day at the

"Who's that?" I asked; one could tell by looking at me that I was startled; it was Diane. I guess she was here to introduce herself to me! Why would they?! I wondered within me, looking disgustingly at her. She, on the other hand, looked on at me innocently. She seemed nice.I, however, wasn't about to be swayed by the fact that she was nice; everyone seemed nice at first. I wasn't, however, going to let my guard down. I was a bit jealous about her, I wasn't gonna lie to myself, but somehow she seemed like a good tool. A tool with which I could get what I wanted.I had to play my cards right and not come off as harsh or so if I wanted to get what I wanted from her. "Good afternoon." I heard her greet innocently, "Yeah, come in." I replied, trying to sound sweet, looking quite sternly at her. "I hear you're new." I started, for want of words.She was strikingly beautiful, even as a lady, I knew she was a very beautiful lady. But I wasn't going to let that stand in my way. "Go on, tell

"Thank you." I let out. "Are you always this way? Or is this the cloak of personality you choose to put up with me?" I asked, sipping on the cup of tequila in my hand while looking at him. "I don't understand the point you're trying to make. That I'm multi-faced?" He asked, looking away."You should say multifaceted instead." He blurted, sitting up in his seat. "I know how to do and be a lot of things. That's not supposed to be a weakness is it?" He asked; I could already sense it was a rhetorical question, so I skipped that to what I was about to say. "I need your help.""I need to track down Mia. I must do that. You said you know when to be confidential; I don't know if this is one of those occasions because she did me real dirty, and I need to pay her in her coin." I said, looking pleadingly at him. "Okay... This is serious" he said."Do you mind sharing what she did to you?" He asked, "I thought you already knew." I said, "I might, but you must tell the story again. I might pick s

"I would like to keep a copy of her demands if it is okay with you?" He asked lazily, "Of course". "I will get this to my lawyer and build up the contract with it," he said at last neatly folding it back to its initial size, "okay" I responded hoping our awkward chitty chat had come to a blissful ending, as I made my saya"I must warn you, you will need to be convincing enough; my father has a nose for smelling plots miles away", he said, as a frown crossed his face. To his surprise, I laughed wholeheartedly at that. Everything seemed the same to me; I stood for some minutes, and I had to reemphasize how good I was at my job."Mr Thorn, I spent years of my life waiting for this promotion, and you already know that; I appreciate it, and I'm willing to help; it's important we track Nox down before things get out of hand. I am not about to jeopardize it for anything," I responded confidently, taking Thorn by surprise. He nodded in agreement with my tenacious attitude."To lay my curiosit

Thane cleared his throat as he felt uncomfortable with the awkward silence in the room, he could feel my intent gaze on him, and my silence hurt him. As he stood right there, he gazed lovingly at me despite my icy cold expression."I know this is silly of me to say, but thank you for coming; I understand why you are here, regardless of whatever,", I said, shamefaced, not daring to act cheerful as usual. I was silent for some seconds contemplating how best to address Thane's recklessness."All thanks to your thoughtful behaviour,. You get to accommodate everyone and me for much longer", I responded sarcastically " I am just glad you are feeling happy again", I added."By accommodating everyone else, I don't understand what you mean," Thane said, looking sternly at me. "You will. You shouldn't be here, you're risking your life. Are you ready to accommodate those on the run because of your supposed father, since the Thorn and Thane Mansion is a safe place now?" I asked.Thane took that

Nox picked up his phone and dialled a contact; the receiver answered with the second ring " Hello, I am back," he said, desperately expecting his reaction. " Welcome," Agar responded dryly, at the other end of the phone before cutting off the call."He seemed elated at the news of your glamorous return" Thorn said sarcastically, catching him off guard. Nox felt angry, but he hid his shaking hands behind him, holding Thorn's gaze; he didn't know Thane had been standing in the doorway watching him, "Neither are you in his good books", he responded, getting back at him.Thorn laughed hysterically, "I was never desperate for his approval; I prefer my freedom, unlike you ", he shot back at him. " Is this how we play it, hun? Rubbing it in my face every time, "he responded impatiently."You started it uncle!!!" Thorn responded, stressing the word "uncle". "I know I do not match up to you, Nox, no doubt about that, but guess what! You do not hold a lamp to Thane's abilities", he said, smil
Her Perfect Revenge CHAPTER 52: Fearful Days.
I watched silently as the sound of the ticking clock repeated its rhymes. I was still in bed, and it was almost my wake-up time.I had awoken earlier than I used to. This alone seemed to me like a huge sign and indication of something I couldn't lay my hands on just yet. Shoving my long fingers through my hair, I sat up in my bed, my head drenched in thoughts of all I had been through for the past few days.I wanted so badly to connect the dots; I wanted so badly to have my revenge, even if it meant taking some hard roads.But I didn't know getting on this path and having my revenge would prove this hard. I pushed myself out of my silky bed into the washroom.As the showers of water flowed all over my body, it was to me a huge relief. My head ached already, from the raging thoughts I was having.I found myself soliloquizing as I had my bath, "We can't give up, Gianna, get things right, just have allies that would help you through" I said to myself, wiping my body with a towel.I hurri

Thane cleared his throat as he felt uncomfortable with the awkward silence in the room, he felt my intent gaze on him, and my silence irked him. As he stood right there, he gazed lovingly at her despite my icy cold expression."I know this is silly of me to say, but thank you for saving us; I understand what you did by going into hiding sort of, he said, shamefaced, not daring to act cheerful as usual.

Her Perfect Revenge CHAPTER 49: Precision Please!
The calls of the sirens were getting closer, and he knew it was time to leave. He stuffed the note into his pocket and in a mad dash out of there, diving into the car. The tyres screeched as he tore out of the driveway, leaving the law enforcement miles behind. With his head spinning, he tried to make a decision. He couldn't even run to the police; they'd just use him as a convenient way of having amazing news again.His supposed father told him loudly and often that he was alone. His only option was to pray and rely on his yogi training. I was in danger of being harmed by the armed men, and he felt I might be killed trying to right this situation. Right the wrongs, at any price. His car growled as he stomped on it, whipping through the narrow lanes of the city. It was his night, and he would seize the opportunity. Thane controlled this part of the city through various connections he had with many people who owed him favours. He would bring in every single one of them to assist w
Her Perfect Revenge CHAPTER 48: Strong Duo
I and Rita had a lot of unfinished business. It was high time I pushed for vengeance to be gotten as soon as possible. I and Rita made sure to rest well, seeing how busy the next day would be.As I watched as our car left the driveway, I felt empty inside, like in an empty house with noise. We had to leave as well, but where the hell were we going to go? With the pandemonium he had escaped down there, it was no place for him to be going back onto the streets. While the reality of the situation was still dawning on him, his cousin was gone, and his friends were no longer to be trusted, possibly not even the father. His legs wobbled beneath him as he stood from the chair. Finally, we stopped driving and approached the house. The house was suffocating us, the walls closing in upon themselves as we felt more buried under guilt with each passing second. We sighed and headed to the garage. We had to get our heads cleared, and there was only one way: drive like a bat out of hell. And abou
Her Perfect Revenge CHAPTER 47: The Bad to the Worst
"One last time!" The midwife instructed, "You're so close! You're so close, the baby's head is already 10cm gone!" The midwife continued to shout at me, urging me to push with all the might I could muster. Various midwives had already advised against the delivery of this particular child but I was determined not to lose an innocent life. “Argh!!!!” I tried my best to grab something to transfer this pain to but everything seemed flat and out of my grasp. Finally, the cry of a beautiful baby girl was heard crying loudly in the room. All the midwives looked up at the sky. It seemed brighter now; they looked pitifully at the beautiful baby girl; her fate was already sealed; she looked so sick, I heard one of them say.“Sorry, can we talk?” One of the midwives called out to the matron that had delivered my baby. The matron lifted her head and answered her call. “Don’t tell me you intend on keeping that child, don't make her suffer. I jerked up at this point. It was a bad dream! I p
