Perfect Marriage Revenge Chapter 13
Threads of Deception. The toast lingered in the atmosphere long after Jake stepped off the stage, its undertones simmering just beneath the surface of polite applause. Glasses clinked nervously, the crowd’s whispers growing as individuals exchanged inquisitive looks. Amelia remained frozen by the entrance, her heart racing. Jake’s calculated remarks resonated in her mind: “Family secrets and new beginnings.” A pointed strike at the Wellingtons' veneer. She understood Jake well enough to know when he was playing a strategic game—but that evening, he had unleashed the first explosive attack. Catherine’s smile had turned brittle, her fingers clutching her champagne flute with such intensity that Amelia feared it might break. Ronald’s face, in contrast, wore a facade of composure, yet the slight twitch in his jaw revealed his annoyance. This is going to escalate, Amelia thought, steeling herself. ******* As the orchestra picked up again, Jake made his way back to Amelia’s side.

The city's hum felt louder as Amelia and Jake entered Wellington Holdings the next morning. The sleek glass façade of the building mirrored the rising sun, casting elongated shadows onto the busy streets below. For Amelia, returning to the office felt like entering a lion’s den. The aftermath of the wedding party lingered around her like a second skin, and she understood that every interaction today would resonate with the events of the previous night. Jake, however, radiated his typical self-assurance, his stride deliberate as they walked into the grand lobby. “Just remember,” he whispered, his voice calm and steady, “stay alert. Catherine and Ronald will be scrutinizing your every move.” “I’m aware,” Amelia responded, straightening her posture. She had no intention of backing down—she had her own ambitions to fulfill. ******* The elevator ride to the executive floor was quiet, save for the gentle hum of the machinery. Amelia glanced at her reflection in the shiny metal wall

Jake was someone who excelled in strategy. Every action he took was intentional, calculated, and designed for maximum effect. His recent choice to recruit Mason Garcia was no different. The young assistant had demonstrated his capabilities at a smaller firm, impressing Jake with his keen intellect and ability to foresee moves before they materialized. Mason wasn’t your average corporate ladder-climber. He dressed impeccably—tailored suits, polished footwear, and a watch that whispered luxury—but what distinguished him was his flexibility. Whether analyzing figures in a dim office or maneuvering through the complexities of a bustling boardroom, Mason understood how to navigate the game. Jake had snatched him from relative anonymity, and now, as they stood in Jake’s office, Mason was about to face his first significant challenge. “Amelia plays a vital role in this,” Jake stated, breaking the silence as he leaned against his desk, his intense gaze fixed on Mason. “She’s intelligent, r

The brisk evening breeze brought with it the delicate scent of jasmine blossoms as Amelia exited her vehicle in front of the Wellington estate. The mansion loomed in the shadows, its magnificence highlighted by the soft illumination from the garden lights. She tightly held the letter in her hand, the dinner invitation from Ronald, its significance gnawing at her mind. Why summon her at this moment? What game was he orchestrating?Jake stood beside her, his demeanor calm but his eyes meticulously assessing the surroundings. “Are you certain about this?” he inquired in a hushed tone.Amelia squared her shoulders. “I have no option. Ronald wants my presence, and I need to uncover his intentions.”Jake gave a nod, though his concern was palpable. “I’ll remain nearby. If anything feels amiss, give me a signal.”She managed a slight smile, grateful for his protective instincts. “I’ll be okay. It’s just dinner.”Yet, as she entered the mansion through the grand double doors, the lavish inter

“You’ve created quite a scene, Amelia,” Mr. Rodriguez began, his tone sharp as it resonated through the lavish sitting room of the Rodriguez estate. The space, adorned with lofty ceilings and antique furnishings, mirrored the coldness of their standoff. Amelia stood near the fireplace, her arms crossed in a protective manner.“I created a scene?” she shot back, her voice biting. “I didn’t ignite this conflict, Father. Catherine and Beatrice set it off when they deemed me disposable.”Mr. Rodriguez let out a deep sigh, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “This family has already endured enough without you adding gasoline to the flames. Are you even aware of the repercussions of your actions?”Amelia's chuckle was laced with bitterness. “You’re giving me a lecture on repercussions? Where were you when Catherine and Beatrice maneuvered their way into Mother’s inheritance? Where were you when they embarrassed me in front of the board?”“I was working to keep this family united!” he retorted,

The atmosphere in Wellington Holdings felt unusually charged that morning. Conversations hummed through the sleek, modern hallways, but an air of expectation hung around. Jake stepped into the boardroom, moving with intention, his gaze scanning the expressions of the executives gathered around the gleaming mahogany table. Each face reflected a range of emotions from anxiety to pure curiosity.Mason, Jake’s diligent assistant, was already present. Holding his tablet, he leaned forward, briefing two department heads with a calm yet authoritative demeanor. The slight crease on his forehead suggested the pressure of the day’s agenda. Jake acknowledged Mason with a nod before taking his position at the head of the table.Amelia made her entrance moments later, her heels clicking decisively against the tiled surface. Her expression conveyed professionalism, but Jake detected a faint trace of frustration in her eyes. He understood something was troubling her, yet he knew better than to inqui

The morning sun poured through the tall windows of the Wellington estate as Ronald leaned against the elegant black vehicle, awaiting Catherine’s arrival. The air was brisk, and for once, his thoughts felt unusually calm. He glanced at his watch, a brief flash of impatience appearing on his face just as Catherine emerged from the door.She approached slowly, one hand gently cradling her small baby bump while the other held her designer handbag. Her smile was gentle, almost hesitant, as she came closer.“You look stunning,” Ronald remarked, his tone warmer than typical.Catherine’s expression brightened. “It’s lovely to hear that from you.”He opened the car door for her, motioning for her to get inside. “Let’s not keep the doctor waiting.”********The private clinic felt like a refuge of tranquility. The soft hum of equipment, the scent of antiseptic, and the quiet professionalism of the staff all contributed to easing Catherine’s anxiety. Ronald walked alongside her, his hand lightl

Amelia awoke the next day feeling a heaviness that transcended her pregnancy. The unsettling phone call from the previous night replayed in her mind like a record stuck on repeat. Sleep had been elusive, and when she finally managed to drift off, nightmares filled with faceless threats and shadowy forms invaded her rest.Nevertheless, the sun had risen, and the day’s responsibilities beckoned. Sitting on the edge of her bed, she rubbed her temples, mentally noting that she needed to discuss the call with Jake. She would require his guidance on how to approach this, although she felt apprehensive about his likely overprotective response.As she got dressed, she noticed the slightest hint of a bump forming on her abdomen. Gently resting a hand there, she murmured softly, “I’ll keep you safe. No matter what.”Upon arriving at Wellington Holdings, the building hummed with its usual vitality. Jake was already in his office, poring over documents with his assistant, Mason. Amelia hesitated

The corridors of Wellington Holdings buzzed with tension. News of Amelia's return had already spread like wildfire within the company. Employees grumbled under their breath, directors scrambled to make adjustments, and even the most seasoned board members were left dazed.Amelia sat in Jake's vintage grand office, her fingers running along the rim of the desk in a soft caress. The air was heavy with the scent of expensive wood polish and leathered wear, a bitter reminder of the heritage she now possessed.This room yelled Jake Wellington.But it belonged to her now.She took a deep breath, letting reality seep in. Jake never questioned her, not even when no one else did. He left her this kingdom, not out of charity, but as a provocation."Make them beg, Amelia. Make them regret the day they underestimated you."His voice lingered with her, a past echo.A. rap at the door broke into her daydream. She didn't have to ask who it was."Care to come in?" she suggested.Marson did, his usual

The room was thick with air, stifling under the enormity of Amelia's declaration."I went back to reclaim what is mine."The conference room remained mired in heavy, stifling silence. The weight of Amelia's statement continued to hang heavy in the air, immobile and dense. Faces once so certain of their rightness now twisted with outrage, shock, and disbelief.Ronald Wellington didn't budge, his scorching blue eyes locked onto Amelia. His stance was rigid, but there was a menacing piercingness to his look—a warning, a threat. In front of him, Catherine's rage was contained by a thread, her fists clenched so tightly her knuckles turned white.Beatrice, however, was the first to get her words out. She leaned forward, her immaculately manicured nails tapping on the table, her face deliberately composed despite the rage simmering beneath the surface."This is absurd," she said slowly, her voice restrained but laced with venom. "There is no way Jake would leave all his money to. to you."Am

The air was heavy in the conference room at Wellington Holdings. Weight hung over the polished mahogany table where board members sat, waiting. There was no arrogance of corporate culture in the air, only an unease that none of them could quite put their finger on.Ronald Wellington sat at the head, his pose commanding, staring on towards the double doors as if he was waiting for a ghost to walk right through them. To his right sat Catherine Rodriguez, poised in a crimson blazer, the fingers of one hand interlocking tightly into the other on the table. Next to her, her mother Beatrice sat her lips painted in a thin line.The air was thick with uncertainty, whispers buzzing like insects between the minor board members. Even Charles Wellington, who seldom showed interest in these affairs, sat forward in his seat, furrowing his brow.This was supposed to be a straightforward announcement: a name would be called, and a new president would be crowned. But something in the silence before th

The city never slept, but within the walls of Wellington Holdings, a suffocating silence loomed over its empire. In the office lights, long shadows stretched as Ronald Wellington sat behind his mahogany desk, his fingers interlocked in deep contemplation. The world moved on, yet there was something in the air tonight-charged, unsettling.Standing across from him, Ethan was posed with well-practiced ease, but his eyes flickered with the barest hint of hesitation. He had seen Ronald in many moods-indifference, cold precision, calculated fury-but this silence was different."You keep staring at me like that, Ethan. You got something to say or you just waiting for me to read your mind?" Ronald's voice sliced through the silence cold and sharp.Ethan adjusted a cuff and spoke in his professionally even tone. "Sir, if I may say so, with all respect, I believe this is about the announcement."Ronald leaned back in his chair; his face showed nothing. "Who is it, Ethan? Who's going to be appoi

The halls of Wellington Holdings hung in silent turmoil, a tempest brewing, waiting to erupt from beneath their tranquil surface. Since Jake's death, the company had lived in a frail balance, and while Ronald showed his usual icy exterior, people who worked close enough with him knew something had changed. Something was missing, and though no one dared mention it, that absence was felt.Jake had been more than just a vice president. He was a force that balanced the company, someone who stood firm between Ronald and the chaos brewing beneath the surface. And now, with him gone, the cracks in Wellington Holdings were widening.But today, the tension wasn't about the company's market performance or its internal power struggles.Today, it was about Jake's final wish.Ronald sat at his office desk, his fingers interlaced as he stared out the floor-to-ceiling window. The view of the city below was amazing, but his mind was elsewhere. The knock on his office door was sharp and deliberate."C

The weight of night had fallen, and there she was in the study pacing round and round. The atmosphere felt thick. It was like the moving shadow of the dancing candles from outside reflected the extent of darkness which she had plunged her life into. Day and night, every moment was directed toward this event, and that was the result.The knock on the door had been slow, a tap almost, as if whoever it was on the other side of the door took their time to savor the moment. She had known he would come-she knew that someone from her past would find a way to break through the walls she so carefully built around herself. And she knew she had to face what was coming, head-on.As the door creaked open, Beatrice's eyes narrowed. The man who stood before her now was one she had not seen in many years, a man whom she had erased out of her memory!."You," Beatrice exclaimed-cold and detached-while observing the man. She neither smiled nor betrayed any hint of surprise; instead, she acted as though

The Rodriguez home was tense as the silence thickened to make the very weight of the shifting balance in grudges both old and alliances new heavy even upon its walls. Beatrice stood very still at the door, inside their big estate home, gazing at what faced her. Evening air that fanned slightly stood still around the moment filled with energy - undecipherable."Who-who are you?" The voice of Beatrice barely rose above a whisper, yet held in it years of unanswered questions.The man standing on the threshold didn't say a word. His eyes, dark as coal, roamed over her in a slow, deliberative look that weighed her with quiet precision, as if he had seen it all before. He didn't say anything; he didn't have to; his presence was enough to convey the gravity of the situation.Behind him, the merest movement might be glimpsed—another figure, shrouded, a shape out of reach andrange of the porch light. Instantly, she felt the chill down her spine; she knew this was no ordinary caller, and though

Four years had passed since Amelia walked away from them, leaving a number of questions unanswered, but she seemed to remain as real as the shadow that refused to grow fainter with the passing of time.The imposing structure of the Rodriguez estate stood tall, exuding an aura of restless triumph. The great living room sparkled in the soft light of the afternoon sun, with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and gilded furniture. The delicate clinking of fine china punctuated the air as Beatrice poured herself a cup of tea, her movements exact, calculated. Across from her, Catherine leaned back on the velvet couch, a satisfied smirk playing on her lips as she crossed her legs.The estate had finally returned to its state of tranquility- or their version of tranquility, at least. Amelia was gone.Beatrice stirred her tea with languor, watching the golden liquid swirl inside the porcelain cup. "I must say, dear," she began, her voice like silk, "I had my doubts, but this turned out bette

The spacious boardroom was filled with an unusual tension, the atmosphere thick with unexpressed accusations. The gleaming mahogany table mirrored the somber faces of the directors gathered around it. Ronald Wellington occupied the position at the head of the table, his piercing glance surveying the room, challenging anyone to dispute his authority.Mr. Harris leaned forward, clearing his throat. “Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot overlook the current predicament. Public trust in Wellington Holdings has significantly declined. The media is unrelenting, portraying us as a chaotic organization, and the shareholders… they are becoming increasingly restless.”A wave of whispers coursed through the room. Mrs. Caldwell, who was typically the voice of reason, adjusted her glasses and interjected, “Let’s not be hasty. We’ve navigated scandals before. Ronald has guided us through tougher times.”“Have we really?” Harris retorted, his tone biting. “The figures speak for themselves. The stock has
