My Sweet Revenge The ball
Third person's POV"What am I going to wear tonight? Look at this torn dress, and I had to play so much for it because they wouldn't let us go. We don't have enough money for another dress, and I cannot be seen twice in the same dress. Mom knows that I am a fashion icon. This is not fair. This was supposed to be the night I could show Chase who I am and how beautiful I am. Now I can't even afford a new dress. I cannot let Belinda have Chase. He should be mine, but now I'm stuck with Jake. And he seems to be in love with Belinda. What does Belinda have that I don't have? And I can't believe that she is smaller than me. This dress fitted her perfectly, but they changed it to a smaller number. There's no way that Belinda is smaller than me. It is ruined, and I do not have enough money to buy another dress. I am so sad. I do not know what I will do," Amanda cries."Belinda planned it, so you cannot get a new dress. Do not worry, my dear. I have a plan. Let's go to Susan. She's one of the
My Sweet Revenge Scandals
Amanda's POVI am furious as I storm out of the ballroom. It was supposed to be my night tonight. I was supposed to get Chase to notice me. All that happened tonight is that I made a fool of myself, all thanks to that brat. My beautiful dress is ruined, but I can return it to Susan. She said that I had to be careful. How was I supposed to know the little brat would step on my dress? And I think he did it on purpose. He pretends it was an accident, but he is just as cunning as his mother. I will not be surprised if his mother puts him up to it. I hate Belinda. I want to get home and forget what happened tonight, but I guess it will be all over the Internet. I jump into our car. Then I realized one thing. I walked out with my naked butt because Jake was not behind me. He was supposed to protect me from people laughing at me. Where did he go? My mother and father came running after me."You stormed away while Jake's parents were calling him. Why didn't you wait for me? I was trying to ca
My Sweet Revenge I want a divorce
Jake's POVI get out of the car and walk into the house. As expected, the three people I despise are still waiting for me. I am not afraid of them. I know they can be evil, but I am not scared of them. Amanda looks furious when she is sitting in a high-school sweatpants and top. Typical, she still lives in high school and will never grow up. Why didn't I see this before? Why didn't I see her selfishness before? Why didn't I know that she would never grow up? I could have been with a woman like Belinda. Now, I am stuck with this woman and about to tell her I want a divorce. I know they are already furious with me, but they will throw tantrums like always. They only use me because they think I will inherit all my parent's money one day. My parents have threatened to disinherit me if I do not divorce Amanda. "Where did you run off to? Why didn't you protect me? I am your wife. You let the whole world see my nakedness at the ball! I am the laughing stock on the Internet. That picture is
My Sweet Revenge Reopen an old case
Chase's POV It is time that Belinda and I started investigating the circumstances in which her mother's death occurred. Now that she has kicked them all out of her properties, we can continue investigating what happened to her mother. I know that the case investigator must have been corrupted or paid off. We cannot go to him. We will have to go to another investigator and ask him to reopen the case and look into her mother's death. Perhaps I had something on him. I do not know if he's even in the police force anymore. I know a few investigators and have a few friends in the police. I will have to talk to Belinda about it after we spend the first night together in our room. She allowed me to stay in her room. We now cannot return to separate rooms because of Conner. The sex is excellent, and I know Belinda enjoys it as much as I do. However, she never utters a word of love. I know I love her, and I will never let her go. However, I do not know how she feels about me. We will have to
My Sweet Revenge An anouncement
Jake's POVWe have waited a few days until all the arrangements have been made for me to leave America before we announce my divorce from Amanda. Today, me and my father will talk about the divorce. Although my father is not one of the wealthiest people in New York, he has a reputation in town. We must explain to the world why we will not proceed with this marriage. I'm ready to move to Europe. I cannot see Belinda. Knowing I am in dangerous territory, I always want her, and nobody messes with Chase Stone. I cannot wait to get away from that family. The Jones is not good for me, and I know getting away from their problems with Belinda and her husband is the best thing I can do. I will also announce my departure from the law firm. I know everything is going to work out. I have to find a new life in Europe. I also have one thing I need to do before I leave. I need to go and apologize to Belinda and Chase. I know my father wants me to do that because he does not want to lose his business
My Sweet Revenge Amanda's Drama
Amanda's POV I am curious where I stand and hear Jake's accusations against me. How dare he tell the world that I am not expecting his child? I know that I have been sleeping with other people. However, that does not allow him to humiliate me like this in public. Please don't assume that it is my fault that he is not a good lover or husband. I know he has been craving for Belinda ever since he left her. How do you live with her husband, who longs for another woman? He has always told me he made his biggest life mistake by taking me and leaving Belinda. I cannot believe his cruelty to me—throwing all our dirty laundry like this in front of the public. I thought he loved me, but I am sure he has never loved me. He always loved Belinda. I wouldn't say I like anything about this situation I am in. "How dare you? Amanda is my daughter, and you are slandering her in front of everybody. You cannot talk, Jake Green. Everybody knows that you have always been in love with Amanda's sister, Bel
My Sweet Revenge Amanda's Troubles
Amanda's POVI do not believe that I can live on my own. I do not know where to go. I have no friends that are willing to take me in. It is my fault that I never made any friends. There are not many women in this town who like me. Most of them hate me. Can I blame them? I have slept with most of their husbands. What I forget is that it takes two to tango. I could not have had affairs without men that are not willing. At least I have a little bit of money that I have saved over the years. It is not much, and it will not take me far. I know I will not be welcomed in my father's business anymore. I will have to look for another job. Maybe I can ask Belinda if she is willing to take me in, but I have mistreated her in the past, and I do not believe she wants me close to her.I do not know what Belinda thinks about us being half-sisters, and I do not believe that she appreciated that my father cheated on her mother while her mother was still alive. However, I do have information about her
My Sweet Revenge Talking to my sister
Amanda's POV I drive to Belinda's office. I hope she will see me. I would not want to see me if I were her. But there is nothing else I can do but go to her and talk to her. I know my mother took the money from my in-laws. If they think I'm going to get rid of the baby, they are making a big mistake. I will take my child, and I will raise him myself. I do not care anymore what people think of me. And I do not care who the father of this child is as long as I know he is mine. I keep thinking of the child as a boy, but it can be a little girl, and I do not care as long as the child is healthy. I stop in front of Belinda's office. There are tears in my eyes as I go to the reception. "Mrs Green, how can I help you?" The receptionist asks, and I can see that she has a smile. I know that she saw the press conference. Many people are delighted that I have come to a fall. I do not care. I know I am not a good lawyer at all. Today, I have just faced myself. And I realized that I am not as gre

My Sweet Revenge Meeting the Stones
Baron's POVAfter we left the boardroom, I instructed my guards to remove my family. I don't want to see them again. I don't have any feelings towards them. We went to my office, and Bella took out the picnic basket. I do not know how she knew that I would need this today. However, I don't care about my family anymore. It was so hard for me. She's an angel in disguise. As the officer close behind me, I walk over to her, and I kiss her like I've never kissed her before. All the passion I feel for her is in my kiss. I thought you would push me away, but she kissed me back instead. Does it mean she feels the same way about me as I feel about her? I hope so because I have created all these feelings about her. I know that I love her. I can't believe that I fell in love with Bella Stone. I never believed in love, but now I do, all because of this little woman in my arms. "I love you, Bella. I mean it this time. I'm not saying it to impress anybody, but I'm telling you the truth. I do love
My Sweet Revenge Baron's Family
Baron's POVI knew I would hear from my family again. It did not take my sister-in-law long to find my office. I thought my brother, mother, or father would be the first to show up. But no, the first one to walk into my office is Sharon. She never had a good taste in clothes. I always thought that she was a little bit cheap. I don't know what she is doing in my office, but I do not want her here. I know Sharon is up to no good."Hello, stranger. It has been a long time since we have seen you. I do not know why you were hiding from us. Were you afraid that you still had feelings for me? I should have never married that useless brother of yours. He has heard me so often that I cannot even talk about it. My heart is broken. Your brother does not care about me. He only cares about the whore he sleeps with every night while I am all alone at home. My heart can't stand it anymore. I am heartbroken. Baron, I should have never left you. I know that you would never have been like him. Besides,
My Sweet Revenge Norma's Parents
Rita Peterson's POVI look at my husband, Mike. I did not think that our child would get anywhere without us. He also seems like he cannot believe what he just heard. We have to keep up our appearances in front of our friends. So Norma made it big, and she did not even tell us. She would not have come anywhere if it weren't for me and her father. If I didn't push her to go to beauty contests and become a beauty queen, she would not have gone into fashion. She owes us, she owes us big time. I never thought that she was the owner of Myst. I felt she was only a waitress, so I never wanted to see her again. She threw away the career I was planning for her to become a waitress. I will go and see her tomorrow at her office. I know where the boutique is. I never went there because I could not afford their dresses. The least we can do is dress her mother.We pretended to be friendly all night and saw her and Connor Stone leaving before our party. After the party was over, my husband and I wen
My Sweet Revenge Connor and Norma
Norma's POVI love Connor. I cannot believe I am so happy to have found him when I needed him the most. Good night. We are going to go out to a fancy restaurant. I have got my confidence back. I do not even care if we run into my parents. If that's something to say, I don't care. I am in love, and I am successful. It is more I can say about them. My mother is still the socialite, and my father has to work his ass off to stay with her expensive lifestyle. Since I am their only child, they don't have an heir. I don't care what is happening to them. I don't want the money. I want nothing of them. Connor is not happy about the fact that his sister is seeing Baron Maxwell. I told him to leave her alone because it was her choice. Perhaps his family should meet him. I have decided to wear a beautiful white dress tonight. I know that Connor loves me more in white. He loves it when I wear a white dress. And tonight we are going to go to the Hilton. It is a plain reason it doesn't look like a
My Sweet Revenge Running into family.
Baron's POVWalking into the restaurant, I saw my family sitting at the table. I did not expect them to be there because I did not expect them to be at the expensive restaurant while they were in so much financial trouble. They have not seen me yet. We walked in and were taken to the table I had reserved. "Her parents and brother are here with his wife. Are you sure you want to eat here tonight, or should we go elsewhere? I know how you feel about your mother and, father and brother. I wouldn't say I like it to be an uncomfortable night for you. I understand how they treated you, and I do not believe they deserve to see you anymore. Besides, I feel they will come and look for trouble with you. I wait a second. I have a plan. I'm always wearing my great-grandmother's ring on my finger. I will put it on my engagement finger, so if they come and look for trouble with you, we will pretend that we are engaged. I know it is not ideal, but at least it will give them something else to think
My Sweet Revenge A fancy date
Bella's POVSo Baron wants a fancy date. I can wear fancy dresses if I have to. I have a few in my closet. I do not know why I like to impress him so much. I am not even supposed to worry about what he thinks. I cannot allow myself to fall in love with a man who does not believe in love. In a way, I get into a beautiful blue dress. It fits my body perfectly. It also has a long slit on the one leg. I wonder where he is going to take me. Why couldn't he wait until our regular Friday night dates? Is he missing me as much as I miss him? What do I do? I know I look beautiful in a plain dress. I only put on silver accessories because I love silver more than gold. I am dressed to impress but not too much. I like to keep it plain and simple. I am not the one for shiny dresses. I am not like other girls. My dress is classy and slightly revealing, but not too much. I am not here to impress a man. I am here to show myself that I can withstand a man who thinks all women want him for his money. I
My Sweet Revenge Am I in love?
Baron's POVAm I in love? To be honest, I do not know. I only know that I miss Bella when I'm not with her. Her family doesn't like me very much because we are always competitive. A father and her brother are not in the same business as me, but they still want to buy prime properties. I do not think that I am welcome in their house. I guess I will be more popular now, building around the diner. It took my architecture and engineers a while to figure out how. I've come up with a solution, and I won't even ask what they are doing, as that is not my problem. I am a trained architect and engineer with plenty of time to study with my parents. Just keep me away from America as long as they can. So, I continued studying while running my new business in Europe. However, I am not into that part of the business anymore. In the beginning, I loved it. But now I want more time for myself. I like the business side of it, and I like to see how my family and their business are crumbling. I know I ca
