With a very stiff and sour expression that could not be masked, Penelope finally finished her food and more than anything, she wanted to burn Thea alive but again, she had her 'best friend ' mask on and she could only control her anger. " So, Thea, feed me, how was your marriage to My ex? Sorry, I mean to Gael?" Penelope asked with some anticipation and the thought of Thea's suffering was bringing immense joy to her and for a moment, she forgot about the anger that she harbored. Seeing how happy Penelope was, seeing how she was enjoying talking about the nightmares that haunted Thea day and night, a new motivation for revenge was awakened in her heart, she wanted to make them all pay. Thea sneered mentally because she understood that given the close connection that Penelope had with Mark, it was obvious that Penelope was aware of the torture that Thea was put through by Gael. It could not surprise Thea if they were all enjoying the show through some CCTV footage from Gael's house. Thi
*****6 months ago******Balling his hands into a fist, Gael let out a sinister smile in an attempt to scare Thea but to his surprise, Thea was unperturbed, she was acting like everything that was happening before she had nothing to with her, and this annoyed Gael the most, he couldn't understand where the meek and Coward Thea had gone overnight. With a smirk, " Well well well! You have really changed! Should I be impressed by your baby steps? Now listen here bi***h, to be able to threaten me, you have a very long way to go. What makes you think that I will give in to you simply because you have those measly videos? If I destroy them now what will you use to blackmail me? You should be grateful that I am only torturing you, out there, your enemies want to skin you alive. " Listening to Gael, a shiver ran through her spine. Taking a deep breath to calm her racing heart, Thea sneered with coldness flashing in her beautiful eyes. Did Gael think that she was stupid? If she was able to sin
WARNING!! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SOME MATURE CONTENT. Skip if you are not comfortable with it. Thea was in the kitchen preparing Gael's favorite meal. She was busy cooking as she didn't notice his presence until she felt someone hugging her from behind. Her body froze momentarily but she relaxed as she noticed who had hugged her. How could she not notice him? How could she not recognize his touch? How could she not recognize his cologne? The man in question was none other than the love of her life. The man who she fell in love with when she was young. Her every dream was to marry him. Her entire being was dominated by the same man, Gael. What Thea felt for Gael was more than love. She was obsessed with him. She was obsessed with his entire being. From his aura to his coldness. To her, Gael was perfect, her Gael was perfect. "Missed me? " Gael asked as he twirled her to face him.For a minute words were not coming from Thea's mouth. Her mind was not functioning. She was stunned
WARNING: This chapter contains some mature content. Please skip it if, you are not comfortable. " Yes! my love! I want more! " Thea moaned in between words as Gael positioned himself in between her beautiful thighs. Although they had been married for months, he could still not get enough of her. Her sight fascinated him and every day, he was seeing a beautiful side of her. "Your beauty is definitely my weakness! Or should I say that your beauty is my strength?" Gael slapped her rosy lips with his member and Thea was trembling with desire. Pure lust was visible in her eyes and she was obviously getting impatient. She could not wait anymore. While in the position of the four, she inserted her middle finger in her core while smirking devilishly at him to make him jealous and it worked. Gael lost all rationality. His beast had been unleashed and Thea could only have herself to blame. He inserted his huge girth in her core and removed it, teasing and pleasuring her at the same time " S
As Thea was familiarizing herself with the boat of intense pleasure and satisfaction, as she was sinking deeper into the world of pleasure with her husband, she heard a very annoying and familiar sound......It was a knock on her door. With obvious displeasure written all over her face, her half-closed eyes fluttered open as she surveyed her surrounding. After observing the familiar room for what seemed like ages, she let out a disappointed grunt. She was clearly disappointed. It turned out that she was dreaming. The pleasure and satisfaction that she was experiencing a while ago, were all in her dreams. She was reliving her past life. But this time, she was reliving it in dreams. After thinking about the contents of her dream, Thea felt like slapping herself. She felt silly and embarrassed. But is only fair that way? She had to collect herself and move on with her life. ' You will never learn Thea, will you? When will you ever wake up? Are you that thick-skinned or you are jus
Heading for the door, obvious displeasure was written all over her face. She knew that her secretary was prepared to nag her and ruin her day. She was not ready for that. Having had those sad memories about her ex-husband, Thea was prepared to take the day off. She was in a sorry state and the last thing she wanted was to be seen by her colleagues like that. She was prepared to give her Secretary a good scolding but what she saw was not what she expected. The person she was prepared to chide was not the one standing at the door. Looking at the person before her, Thea's mouth remained open as the words she wanted to say could not come out........She was more than stunned. Never in her wildest dreams could she have thought of seeing Penelope Rowen, her best friend or it should her ex-best friend for clarity, and memories of their separation came crashing into her already broken heart like a tsunami, and fresh tears streamed down her face, the image that she was trying to salvage a
Time passed, but no one said anything. Penelope looked like she had been frozen. Apart from their silent cries, nothing else could be heard. Finally, Penelope's expression changed. She looked like she had remembered something. She appeared to have gained some energy and she gave Thea an amused look, from her expression, she seemed to have figured something out. Looking at the smiling and happy Penelope, Thea was scared. Although she didn't know the ideas that were running through Thea's mind, her guts were against them. She was scared. To her, it was like the stillness before the storm.Penelope moved from her couch and sat next to Thea. " You naughty girl. Who permitted you to mess with me? your acting skills are advancing. You are becoming better and better at acting. But today is not April fool's day, so why are you fooling around? why are you lying to me? do you know? when I looked at your face, I was convinced that you were saying the truth. But then, I know you. I know you can
Two years ago.Unbeknownst to Thea, what felt like a silent mental reassurance for herself was audible enough to the already fuming Penelope opposite her. Listening to what Thea was silently saying, a look filled with pity and sympathy crossed her eyes but as she remembered that Thea was responsible for the predicament that Penelope was in, that look was replaced with pure hatred and disgust. Penelope lifted the corner of her lips into a cold and contemptuous sneer and spat to Thea, " You are pathetic. In fact, you are a miserable loser. If it was on a normal day, I could have pitied you but this? This is serious! Other than hatred and malice, I have no other feeling left in my heart for you. I hate you, Thea Daniels. I regret the day I met you. You are an evil cunning witch! You deserve to die. Are you even listening to yourself? If your parents love you as much as you claim, then why do you need reassurance? If they love you as much as you claim, why do they have to be so hard on

Thea walked elegantly and she gently touched Penelope who was pretending to be sound asleep, "Sleeping beauty? Are you planning to sleep here for the entire afternoon? Anyway, lunch is ready. Wash your face and join me, I will head there first. " Pausing in between," The sink is on your far left " Thea continued and although she felt like slapping the bi*ch before her, she couldn't do it. She had other plans for her. Faking a yawn, Penelope spoke lazily " You haven't changed at all! you are as slow as you were before. How long has it taken you to prepare a few dishes for lunch? Ages, obviously" Thea was already used to Penelope's way of talking but this time, she was not as accommodating as before, with a fake smile, Thea answered tactfully, "Some things never change. Besides, don't you all love this side of me? the nitwitted Thea?" With a sour expression, Penelope was clearly shocked. She didn't expect Thea to see through her words. It was obvious that she had implied that Thea was
After throwing up, Thea had no strength left in her body. Her wobbly feet could no longer support her almost non-existing weight. With difficulty, She crawled to the nearest kitchen couch and sat mindlessly. She was not thinking straight. Her brain was not functioning. But that was not the time for her to be weak. She could not afford to be sloppy. She was aware of how impatient Penelope could get and the last thing she wanted was to be found in the sorry state that she was by her. She had to pull herself together. She had to collect herself. Taking deep breaths to regain her composure she stood and headed to the nearest sink and after washing her face, she regained clarity. Thinking about what she had heard over the phone, uncontrollable amounts of tears gushed down her eyes and all her initial efforts to wash them were ruined. She had to recompose herself. Yeah, she was going through a lot. The only person that she loved, adored, and treasured did not feel the same about her. In
As Thea was about to twist the doorknob to the living room, she heard a very familiar voice, a voice that she could not have mistaken even in her dreams. Thinking that she was probably hearing her things, she decided to drop the whole thing. But just as she was about to fully open the first door, the voice became clearer to her. There was no way on earth she could have mistaken that voice. It was very familiar to her. Penelope had put the person on the other end of the phone on a loudspeaker as she didn't expect Thea to be done with cooking so quickly. " Hey, love? have seen her? how is that stupid woman doing? Have the years of pain and torture made her smart? Is she still as dumb as before? I even don't know why I am asking you this, I already know the answer. Isn't it pretty obvious? even if she goes through death and comes back to life she will never change.She is the most stupid person I have ever met. She is an insult to humanity. " A male's voice that Thea knew very well rang
" What drink will you take?" Thea asked Penelope tersely as she was not very familiar with her at that moment. A lot of things had changed and they were like strangers to each other once again. " The usual, my favorite. " With a nod, Thea handed a mug of coffee to Penelope and sat across, silently seeping her drink, seemingly unbothered by the silence looming within the air, acting as if the person seating across her had nothing to do with her. Unable to tolerate the uncomfortable silence, Penelope raised an eyebrow and spoke sarcastically "Why are you acting as if I am the one who wronged you? shouldn't you be apologizing to me? Why are you in such a grumpy mood? I should be the one sulking okay? Back then, you betrayed me. You betrayed our friendship. You went ahead and married Gael, knowing that he was my ex and still knowing that I had feelings for him. It has been two long years since we last saw each other don't tell me that you didn't miss me. Anyway, I have already forgiven y
Thea thought that that was the worst treatment that she had ever gone through in her entire life. What she didn't know was that that was just a small fraction of it all and Geal had a store full of ways in which he could torture and make her life a living hell. In the sixth month of their marriage, Gael started abusing Thea physically. Her once beautiful and flawless skin was turned into a ragged and pathetic self. Her phone and computers were taken from her and she had no connection with the outside world. From a wife, she was turned into a maid. Her husband's maid.Like a prisoner, she was never allowed to get out of their house, and going against his command was akin to digging her own grave. The consequences were too harsh for her to bear. The last time she defied him, she was sent into a two weeks comma. When it reached a point where she couldn't take it anymore, Thea reached out to her family in hopes that they were going to rescue her from that hell in the name of a home, bu
Present.Thea stared at her used-to-be best friend with shame and guilt. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing could come out. Her mouth had betrayed her at a very critical moment. Looking at Penelope, she looked as beautiful as ever. She had every girl's dream figure. Comparing her disheveled self to Penelope's, she paled up in comparison. She was not as beautiful as she was two years ago when she married Gael Weston. Years of pain and torture had changed her completely. She was not as cheerful and as gullible as she was before either. She was now smart. Deep in those admiring eyes, Thea also had doubts. She didn't know whether she could trust her ex-best friend again. Time would tell. When Thea failed to gain the recognition that she wanted from her family, she was hurt and disappointed. She wanted to sever ties with them. She wanted to be on her own. When her family threatened her with her brother, she had no option but to get married to Gael. Thinking that from that day on,
Two years ago.Caressing the place where she was hit by her mother, Thea threw a confused look at every one. She couldn't understand what was happening but what confused her the most was why she was slapped because according to her, she had not done anything to warrant a slap or the ridiculing looks that they were giving her. If anything, they were supposed to be worshiping her because if it was not for her, they couldn't be where they were. Thea felt like she was being unjustly treated and although she didn't have the guts to question her parents, she found herself asking anyway. "Why? why are you always treating me like this? am I not your daughter? You promised to introduce me to the world, what happened? after everything that I have done for this family, is this what I get in return? disrespect and disregard? I think I deserve better than this, I was stupid enough to think I was important to you all. I won't be surprised if you tell me I was adopted. " As Thea was complaining, a
