I heard him sigh, his exasperation palpable in the air. "Is this what you really want?" he asked, his voice tinged with a mix of concern and disbelief. But his question only fueled the fire that burned within me, igniting a strange smile on my lips. I couldn't help but let out a laugh, a laugh that held both astonishment and determination. It was a laugh that threatened to propel me out of my seat and onto a path of no return.

Is this what I really want? Ha! No, never! This is not enough! The vanilla revenge he spoke of, the mere satisfaction of winning a petty competition, held no allure for me. It was far too shallow, too insignificant to quench the thirst for retribution that consumed me.

He had always been perceptive, a man with a sharp eye. He must have glimpsed the fragments of my plan, sensed the depth of my intentions. But I was unwilling to reveal everything just yet, to let him in on the true extent of my desires. Instead, I replied with a firmness that belied the seething a

    Chapter Sixteen.Staying up in room for the whole day, I didn’t realize it was already evening until I heard a know coming behind my door.Knock.Knock.“Young miss, the master have arrived and requested your presence. And, dinner will be serve in a few minutes.” The servant announced in an unhurried tone.I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. We don’t typically eat dinner together, or should I say I wasn’t included. I could only join them if the Chairman has important things to discuss or information that needs attention. Typically, it was always about reprimanding and warning me.Just great. Another humiliation episode for the whole house to enjoy.I sighed and reluctantly got up from my comfortable spot on the bed. It had been one of those days when I just wanted to retreat into the solace of my room, away from the prying eyes and constant scrutiny of the household. But now, it seemed like my solitude was about to be shattered by yet another dinner where I would be the center of attent

    Chapter Seventeen.My eyes were locked on him, not backing down. The room felt heavy with tension as we stood face to face, the air crackling with unspoken words. I could see the disappointment in my father's eyes, his once vibrant gaze now clouded with a mixture of anger and frustration. But I refused to let it deter me. I had grown tired of living in his shadow, constantly striving for his approval, only to be met with perpetual disappointment.Looking at him now was just a bare minimum of my rudeness, a silent rebellion against the expectations he had placed upon me. In his eyes, I am always the one at fault.For years, I had tried to be the daughter he wanted me to be - obedient, successful, and dutiful. I had studied tirelessly, excelled in every subject, and achieved more than most could ever dream of. But it was never enough. No matter how high I climbed, he always found fault in my accomplishments. He had an unyielding vision for my life, one that I could never quite live up t

    Chapter Eighteen.“Sister, aren’t you going to come with us and shop?” I could sense some venom in her voice.Her eyes formed a crescent moon while she smiled at me sweetly. It was too sweet for my liking.Looking at her eyes, I could only see mischief and wicked intentions.But even before I could reply and reject her, a booming voice echoed in the dining room."You should go." The chairman said in a monotone voice as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.My head turned sharply in his direction. Why does he always make the decision for me!? I could help but roll my eyes in irritation.As I glared at the chairman, frustration bubbled within me. It was always the same; he acted like he knew what was best for me without even bothering to ask. I was tired of being treated like a puppet in his hands, forced to dance to his tune. It wasn't fair that he controlled every aspect of my life, leaving me with no say in my own decisions.But if it is my sister, he would always ask her what she wants

In my current jobless state, searching for employment, splurging on such indulgences felt like an irresponsible luxury.As we arrived at the heart of the city, a sudden impulse urged me to halt the car.

They showcased the latest trends, every piece a masterpiece crafted by top designers from across the globe—exquisite and with a price tag that only those immensely wealthy could comfortably bear.The salesgirls, discerning potential customers from our attire and demeanor, smiled and approached us with eager enthusiasm, their well-honed instincts at work.Suppressing my em

    Chapter Twenty-One.Everyone inside the establishment went silent for a moment. It was like a silent indication that Belladonna was biased and mistreating his step-daughter. Belladonna's face turned all red with anger, it was like a silent slap in her face.I could help but chuckle a little inside."But…um…" I lightly bit my lower lip, showing indecisiveness, and threw a fearful glance at Belladonna. If I could only roll my eyes at this moment but I restrained myself, it would ruin my performance.I could help but sigh inwardly at how unfortunate I am to be stuck in this dog-blood drama.Everyone looked at me with pity, and a look of disapproval and scorn was directed to Belladonna. They must be thinking how a poor girl I am that can't even express myself without my step-mother's consent.Belladonna was outraged to the point she was blushing red and I could see the visible steam coming out of her ears. She glared at me, if glare could kill I would be long dead already. I could even in

    Chapter Twenty-Two.The moment I walked out of the store, I maintained a depressed look as I walked several steps away. Looking around like a lost child, I could see the car that was supposed to be parked outside. Neither Belladonna nor Agatha was in sight. I could only chuckle inwardly as if I had won a lottery. Looking at the side mirror of the near car, I could see the madam's eyes on me, watching my moves and expressions. Looking at the pitiful me staring at the void.I should really apply for an actress in the future.After staying for a few seconds, I sighed as if dejected but still smiled as if it was a common occurrence. I walked away from the establishment with a slight smirk on my face.How did I guess that Belladonna would leave me here? It was simple; I already knew her inside out after living with her for almost ten years. Just like they say, the one who will know you more than yourself would always be your hater and archenemies. They know you more than your number one fa

Looking as if he made just one mistake, the abyss will swallow him hole leaving no bones behind.As Adamson presented the report, beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

    Chapter Thirty-Eight.Sleep didn’t come easy. I tossed under the silk sheets of Randall’s bed, the storm outside like a lullaby sung by giants. Rain traced invisible paths down the tall windows, and every clap of thunder felt like a warning from the past—a reminder that I was teetering on the edge of a truth I wasn't ready to face.Exhausted, my body refused to settle. The images from earlier replayed in my mind like a relentless highlight reel: Vivian’s smile, the scarred man, those shadowy camera feeds inside the warehouse. She had looked so comfortable in that world—confident, in control. It was like she was an actress on a stage she knew all too well.The scariest part? She hadn’t even tried to hide it. The ease with which she handed that envelope over to the man with the scar meant she didn’t expect to get caught. She was clearly involved in something much bigger than any of us had imagined, and the implications of that realization sent my heart racing, even as I lay motionless i

    Chapter Thirty-Seven.The next morning greeted me with silver skies and a low growl of thunder rumbling in the distance. A storm was rolling in—outside, and I could feel the tumult within me echoing that same ominous energy. The diary still sat unopened, resting on my nightstand like a weight I couldn't yet lift. But today wasn’t about that. I had somewhere to be. Dressed in black jeans and a fitted leather jacket, I tied my hair back into a low ponytail. Nothing fancy. Just enough to blend in, like a shadow slipping between cracks. At exactly nine o'clock, my phone buzzed with a text from Nero, a simple message: “Car’s ready.”Since dawn, Randall hadn't spoken a word to me. He’d brewed my coffee, placed it beside my plate, and then disappeared into his office as if he needed the distance. I couldn’t blame him—he hated losing control, and here I was, about to walk straight into chaos.I hesitated at the elevator, waiting for Randall to call out, to stop me. But nothing came, only the

    Chapter Thirty-Six.The penthouse was warm, its atmosphere imbued with the citrusy scent of fresh linens and the smooth undercurrent of Randall’s cologne—something woodsy and undeniably expensive, an infusion of cedar wrapped in midnight. The sun bathed the room in a soft glow, filtering through the expansive windows to cast golden light over marble floors and pristine walls. Everything was immaculate, a reflection of Randall’s fastidious nature, yet beneath its polished surface, I felt chaos swirling within myself.I sat cross-legged on the plush living room rug, half-opened suitcases scattered around me, boxes waiting to be unpacked, the diary resting in my lap like a cursed relic. The leather cover, worn with age, felt familiar yet foreign, and I let my fingers trace the initials “M.H.” — my mother's. It had been years since she'd left us, yet her presence lingered in the most unexpected ways. Old birthday cards with her elegant handwriting; a cherished recipe scrawled on a torn na

    Chapter Thirty-Five.The light drizzle that misted Calderon City had stopped by the time I stood in front of Randall’s penthouse, staring up at the sky through glass walls that seemed to kiss the clouds. I could hear my heart pounding, not because I was scared, but because this moment felt like a turning point I’d never expected. I tightened my grip on the suitcase in my hand, the other wrapped around a paper bag of freshly picked carnations from the flower shop — a symbolic goodbye, maybe, or maybe just a touch of home.Randall opened the door before I could even knock.His hair was slightly damp, like he’d just stepped out of the shower, and his eyes, impossibly dark and piercing, softened just a little when they landed on me. "You're here," he said, as if he hadn’t been entirely sure I would come.I nodded. "I said I would."He stepped aside, and I entered the sprawling space that was now, unbelievably, going to be my new home. The air smelled faintly of expensive cologne and laven

    Chapter Thirty-Four.“Tell me, what are your future plans together?” Amanesis pressed, leaning in with the tenacity of an investigator digging for answers.“I can’t exactly predict the future,” I replied playfully, “Perhaps something simple—cooking together, leisurely strolls through flower markets, and, of course, impromptu journeys to wine tastings.” “And maybe some historical tours too?” Randall injected with feigned seriousness, his lips quirked into a half-smile. “Just to keep her well-rounded.”“I’m sure it’ll only add to my charm!” I quipped back, feeding off his playful energy.“Honestly, the way you two interact, it warms my heart,” Amanesis exclaimed, her previous strict demeanor disappearing as her protective maternal instincts began to show through. “You both deserve happiness. And Randall, don’t you dare allow anyone else to distract you from what you have here.”Randall’s expression softened slightly, and he inclining his head slightly as a grateful acknowledgment.As l

    Chapter Thirty-Three.After what felt like an eternity planning the intricate details of our relationship charade, I departed the terrace with Randall’s chuckle hanging in the warm, fragrant air. The sun stood high in the sky, casting a shimmering glow across the expansive estate, filling the mansion with an air of quiet elegance.“Are you ready for the culinary emporium the maids are about to unleash?” Randall mused as I led the way back inside. The sound of commotion grew louder as we neared the kitchen—the cheerful chatter of servants echoing through the halls, punctuated by the clatter of pots and pans.“Let’s hope they’ve stocked up on enough comfort food to win over your mother,” I replied, biting back laughter. “And I still need to figure out what to do with my hair. Got anything inspiring on you?”“Can’t help you with that,” he said with a feigned look of innocence before a more genuine smile crept in. “But you’ll look wonderful in anything. Just be yourself.”As I entered my

    Chapter Thirty-Two.Sitting at the terrace of Randall's grand mansion, I watched the sun descend over the expansive estate, the golden rays glistening off the carefully trimmed maze garden that borders the property. I felt a sense of tranquility wash over me as I took in the view. But my peace was abruptly shattered by the sound of Randall’s phone ringing, followed by him snapping it up with an incredulous expression on his face.Bringing the cup of coffee to my lips, I looked at Randall waiting for him to pick up the phone.“Bencio?” Randall’s voice was laced with calmness and a hint of confusion.I leaned back in my chair, my curiosity piqued as I caught snippets of the conversation floating towards me through the warm, evening air. “Please don’t kill me,” Bencio’s voice echoed, making it hard for me to suppress a laugh. I stifled the chuckle, maintaining my composure as I watched Randall's expression turn alarmingly serious. “What do you mean my mother is coming over?” There was

    Chapter Thirty-One.The sun shone gloriously over the sprawling garden of a mansion that had seen better days; its once-vibrant flowers were wilting slightly under the unrelenting afternoon heat. Yet, at least one thing still radiated with energy and color: Amanesis. She buzzed around the estate with the enthusiasm of a hummingbird, her vibrant dress swishing as she made her way to the office where Bencio was stationed.“Bencio, darling!” she called out with the flair of a theatrical heroine, throwing open the door without knocking. The assistant looked up, startled, as if summoned from some far, distant realm of paperwork and duty. “You will never believe the tragedy that has befallen me!”“Uh, good afternoon, Madam,” Bencio began, sliding his glasses up his nose as he attempted to shift his thoughts from spreadsheets to the whirlwind of drama that was Amanesis. “What seems to be the problem?”“Sit down, dear! You’re going to want to hear this,” she urged, waving her hand as if becko

    Chapter Thirty.As our lips met, time seemed to come to a standstill, the world around us fading softly into a blur. The initial shock that coursed through my body melted away, replaced by a warm, comforting sensation enveloping us both like a soft blanket draped in tenderness. It wasn’t merely a kiss; it was a silent acknowledgment of the journey we were embarking on together, a beautiful testament to the intertwining of our lives in the most profound of ways.When we finally pulled away, breathless and a little awestruck, I saw a flicker of mischief dancing in Randall's deep blue eyes. "Did that meet your expectations?" he teased, his voice low and warm, sending delightful shivers racing down my spine.I couldn't help but chuckle, a delightful concoction of nerves and joy bubbling up inside me. "I suppose it will do for now," I said, my own teasing tone emerging, echoing his playful spirit. Somehow, the tension that had been momentarily knotted in my stomach loosened, replaced by an
