CHAPTER 02: Her Wrath Begins

Author: I S H A
last update Last Updated: 2023-01-05 09:53:06

There’s always a reason— buried deep and often dark— behind every cruel, cold, and ruthless soul. A story of betrayal, of scars left by an abusive past, a neglected childhood, or a heart so shattered that it never mended. That’s how devils are born…

“Daisy, email me today’s schedule. And call Mike— tell him to send them to their Dadu’s place. Inform him I’m flying to New York tonight.  Also, ask him to ready the private jet before 9 PM,” Davina commanded in a tone colder than ice, her voice devoid of warmth or emotion.

Her swivel chair creaked softly as she turned, gazing intensely out at the panoramic skyline of Sydney from the vast glass windows of her sleek, high-tech office. Everything gleamed white— clinical, lavish, and intimidating. A space that mirrored her persona: polished, powerful, and untouchable.

She rose with feline grace, her body wrapped in a sleek black bodycon dress that clung to her like a second skin, revealing dangerous curves and unapologetic elegance. Perched on stilettos, her high ponytail swayed with every move, exuding quiet command.

But behind the flawless exterior, her mind was a storm.

For the first time in years, she felt a knot in her stomach.  Anxiety gripped her as she thought about the upcoming gala. The media— vultures, all of them— would be swarming, waiting to uncover the mystery that was Davina Parker. And she was going to reveal herself soon.

She was terrified, though she’d never admit it. Public appearances haunted her. The flash of cameras, the weight of curious stares— they brought back suffocating memories. Even when she’d traveled with Michele, he’d shielded her from the spotlight. But this time, she would stand alone.

Still, she knew Michele would be there— her anchor in a sea of chaos. Yet her soul craved something more: a moment of vulnerability, someone to hold her, someone she could lean on, even just for a second. Her heart throbbed, heavy with emotions she had long buried.

And so, she picked up her phone and FaceTimed the one person she trusted with her life—Naina Furtado.

Naina, the head of her New York office. Her secret ally. Her confidante. The one who held her hand during the darkest hours of her life.

“Hello. Its me Davina” she said coolly, masking the desperation in her voice.

“Hey Davi…” Naina’s tone was soft but steady. “I know why you’re calling. Don’t worry, love, everything’s almost done. Just tying up a few loose ends. And your accommodation? Taken care of. Just a few more days, alright?”

“You know how crucial this is to me,” Davina exhaled sharply. “That’s why I asked you, not someone random. Also— there are some changes. I don’t want just him ruined anymore. Ryan too. He’s going down. Only Alex stays out of this. He’s not innocent, but… I owe him that much.”

Her voice lowered to a sinister whisper.

“And Naina… I want the gala to be preponed to the date we spoke about earlier and about the other thing, I want their faces clearly exposed. Their voices— their groans, their curses, their shame— I want it all to be heard. Loud and raw.  I want that bitch to be at the gala. Let her bleed like I did. Let her feel humiliated like once they all humiliated me.”

Her eyes burned crimson as her voice dropped an octave, becoming venomous.

“Send the videos to every major channel. Local. International. Flood the media. Let the world watch. Because they will do anything to stop this. For him, for his family’s reputation… is his pride. That’s why all these years they have always buried all their dirty little secrets within the family. And that’s where I’ll begin— by shattering that pride. But for now hold on to that evidence until my next instruction.”

Her voice trembled with rage. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes but she blinked them back with fury.

Naina paused. There was so much she wanted to say— but she also knew Davina. Once her mind was made, nothing could stop her. Still, something tugged at Naina’s heart.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” she asked gently, almost a whisper. “I mean… what if she was just a pawn too? What if she was also used, also broken…?”

Davina’s silence was thunderous. Then, like a storm unleashed, she snapped.

“I don’t care anymore. Really Naina? You dare question me?” Her voice was low, lethal. “You… dare?” Her eyes blazed with betrayal. “How. Dare. You.”

She wasn’t herself anymore. She was losing it.

Before she could unleash a torrent of fury, Naina quickly apologized, assuring her the plan would be executed perfectly, that she’d preview it all before finalization. The call ended abruptly.

Silence fell, but inside Davina, a war raged.

Guilt gnawed at her for shouting at Naina. She knew her friend meant well. But the questions reopened wounds she thought were long sealed. Her mind reeled, screaming with old voices, old ghosts.

She turned back to the window, staring out into the horizon as if searching for strength.

And then she broke.

“He made me like this,” she whispered. “FUCK… He made me a cruel, heartless bitch…”

She grabbed her head, her nails digging into her scalp, trying to silence the screams inside. Tears poured from her eyes— hot, bitter, relentless. Her breath hitched as the sobs grew louder.

She slammed her MacBook shut.

“I know I shouldn’t have said that to you, Naina. But there’s no turning back now. You have to understand me,” she said to the empty room. “I know it’s filthy, maybe even evil. But they did worse. And she—” her voice cracked again “—she stood there. Watched. She knew everything and still did nothing. She let it happen.”

She took another breath, wiping her face with trembling hands.

“I know this revenge will destroy me too. I know I’ll lose everything. But I need to fight back. His destruction is the only that will heal me. To watch him in his ruins was my only motivation to survive all these years. The only reason I am still breathing.”

Her sobs became louder. She covered her mouth to suppress the sound, but her body shook violently.

“She chose him over me,” she whispered with a broken laugh. “Now… it’s payback time.”

Her expression twisted into a cruel smile.

“I’ll make you all regret everything. And you, my darling Devil… I’ll turn your world into a living hell. I’ll take your empire, your happiness, your pride. I’ll crush it all. I’ll make you beg for my love, for my presence. But I’ll never return. I’ll haunt your peace. Ruin every joy. You’ll repent. I am well aware that even now you are hunting for me.”

She slammed her fists into the desk. Her hands bled from the force, but she didn’t care. The pain grounded her.

“You made me a whore in front of my parents. You shattered my dignity. They abandoned me because of you. Now, I will make you regret breathing. I’ll expose you. Destroy you. Even if it costs me my life.”

Her voice dropped to a whisper, laced with fury.

“I’m just getting started…”

Her face was flushed with rage, her eyes wild— brimming with grief, hate, and something darker. Her hands trembled, her breath heavy.

But she didn’t care about the consequences.

She had already burned too much to turn back now.

Draped across her arm was a cream-colored fur coat, forgotten in her grief.Tears slipped down her cheeks, relentless as a waterfall. Oblivious to the dropping temperature, she remained still— silent, hollow, and unreachable. She was waiting. For Mr. Parker to take her home.She needed a sense of peace.

    “I… I’m sooo sorry… I… I didn’t know he was important. I thought he was just a stranger… and that’s why I was scared. He… he looks…”She turned her face toward Mr. Parker, her eyes wide with uncertainty, lips trembling as she swallowed the words she didn’t dare to speak. Her voice dropped to a whisper, softer than the silence in the room.“I hadn’t seen him before… I couldn’t recognize him. Is he… is he outside? If yes, then please… please ask him to come in. I want to apologize.”The room fell into stunned stillness. For the first time in years, Davina had initiated a conversation. Not out of compulsion. Not out of necessity. But from a place of fragile courage blooming in her heart. Mr. Parker blinked in disbelief before quickly replying, “It’s okay, Davi. You don’t need to force yourself. I’ll speak to him for you…”But she shook her head, her fingers clenching the hem of her blanket. “No… I want to.”This wasn’t the Davina they knew— the one who built walls thicker than steel, the

The maid, desperate, finally shook her by the shoulders to jolt her back to reality. Davina’s eyes snapped open— wild, blazing, and filled with a fury that made the poor woman recoil in fear. Her glare was sharp enough to slice through steel.With trembling lips, the maid informed her that the chopper had been waiting for over forty-five minutes and her luggage had already been taken care of.Davina didn’t utter a word. She merely nodded curtly and waved the woman off.She stormed into her room, applied a touch of makeup with surgical precision, and checked her appearance once— just once. Then she locked the door behind her like sealing away the last remnants of whatever was left of her old self.Her heels pounded against the marble flo

    They finally reached Michelle’s penthouse in Manhattan— and the moment they stepped in, both Davina and Jenny froze, mouths slightly parted, as if they had stepped into a dream sculpted from clouds and moonlight.The penthouse was nothing short of a fantasy— perched high on the sixtieth floor, it stretched across more than fifteen rooms. One side unveiled the dazzling chaos of Manhattan’s skyline; the other looked out over the calm, endless sweep of Manhattan Beach, where the sea kissed the horizon with a hush. A paradox in glass and stone— chaos and serenity, coexisting in lavish harmony.Davina stood silently, unable to move. It felt like something pulled from the ashes of her dreams. A dream she never dared to dream again after leaving this country five years ago.Every inch of the place radiated elegance and excess. The walls were a crisp, clean white; the design whispered of wealth and maddening familiarity. From the towering bay windows, the city looked like a living painting. Th

    Michelle rang the doorbell, but no one answered.Frustrated, overwhelmed with worry, Michele used the key he’d gotten from the manager and let himself into the apartment. Silence greeted him, and an eerie stillness cloaked the space.But then, he saw her.Standing in the dark on the balcony, her back to him, her figure illuminated faintly by the city lights.Relief washed over him so violently that it almost brought him to his knees. The past 24 hours had drained him. Every scenario his mind conjured had tormented him— was she safe, was she hurt, was she gone?And now, she was right there.Leaning over the railing, AirPods in her ears, completely unaware of his presence.Her wavy hair cascaded down her back, dancing gently with the breeze. She wore a thin yellow shirt, slightly oversized, tucked into tight white shorts that exposed her flawless milky legs and the curves he couldn’t ignore. He didn’t intend to ogle— but the raw attraction slammed into him like a tidal wave.His breath c

    After comforting Jenny and wiping the remnants of her tears, Davina pulled her into a soft hug.“I believe you, Jenny. I’m not upset with you, and I’m not upset with him either… for what happened,” she said gently. “You didn’t deserve the way he reacted, and he owes you an apology. I’m going to make sure he does. And I’m sorry too… I should’ve told him about you beforehand. I created that situation without thinking.”Jenny shook her head and whispered, “It’s not your fault, Davi. I should’ve—”“No. You don’t need to say anything. I’m just glad you’re okay,” Davina interrupted with a gentle smile.From one side, Michelle watched them quietly. Something about the moment pulled him into deep thought. Seeing Davina’s nurturing side again— one he hadn’t witnessed in years— reminded him of who she truly was beneath all her steel walls. Jenny must be someone incredibly important for Davina to show so much care. She rarely opened up like this.But alongside that warmth, another dangerous thoug

Seeing them I shrieked in surprise. There was also a happy birthday card and a beautiful white lily and tulip bouquet. I was extremely happy seeing the flowers they were my favorite. I assumed it was the surprise that Eva mentioned earlier, I was so excited I eagerly started to unwrap the gifts. In one box there was a beautiful maroon sheath gown with a halter neck, which was backless and had a slit from the upper left thigh. I excitedly opened the second box. It had a silver-colored stiletto-heeled ankle strap, which made me look taller than usual. The remaining three boxes weren't that big and I could easily guess it was some jewelry, but I was stunned to see the mesmerizing jewelry tha

My mind was numb but still, I could feel another person's presence in the room with me making my heart beat erratically.With a heavy voice 'I asked more like a whisper "Hellooo...... is there anyone please untie me.... and let me go...... helllooooo is there anyone...." I wanted to sound strong and not scared but unfortunately, it didn't turn out the way I wanted but I got the attention of the person who tied me to the bed with blindfolds.I could feel movements on the bed someone coming closer to me and my heartbeat rose to a more rapid rate making me more nervous, my palms wet and sweat beads forming on my forehead even in that airconditioned room.

"Come, let us have some fun and check our luck...." Alex said and held my hand, taking me towards the casino of the clubhouse. The place was loaded with people crowded at different tables trying their luck to win. Some shouting and cussing angrily while others cheer and applauding It was obvious that he was quite familiar with the place and the people knew him well. All the girls were giving him their best seductive smiles and looking at me in annoyance while giving me their best bitchy looks. It made me chuckle, leaving a permanent smug on my face. A few men were nodding and bowing when they saw him, but none of them dared to look at me inappropriately. The authority that he carried impressed me and I looked at him with adoration.

I could see how shocked everyone was hearing my blunt question and also, I guess I was a bit loud considering the people sitting on the nearby tables also gave us these weird looks.

She looked as if she didn't belong there and she definitely didn't look British. She had this glimmer in her eyes like an excited child. She looked so pretty and sexy like a tease showing off her curves in that little dark blue tank top and white cargo pants catching people's attention. She looked so oblivious to the stares she was getting. I was in that hotel for some official purpose to sign the papers and legally take over my father's company along with signing a few business consignments. Never in my wildest dreams, had I thought I would be standing in a corner instead of getting into the elevator and looking at a little girl like a creep though her body looked nothing like a little girl except for her innocent eyes and her parents accompanied her.
