REBORN FOR REVENGE Eighteen
SCARLET POVThe sun rays hit my glasses and I blinked, the skyscraper in front of me becoming blurry. Antonov cleared his throat beside me."Well, here we are Scarlet. This place looked better than in the photos"I took in the company that my father had built with his blood sweat and tears. "We used to have a picnic at the rooftop once a week, then mom died and things spiraled from there" I got out past the lump in my throat, nostalgia washing over me in waves."Well, you got what you wanted. It's time to take back what is yours"I took my glasses off, then turned to face Antonov, a smirk on my face. "I am going to have so much fun Antonov. Margo, Miguel, and Raphael do not know what is going to hit them""I still think what you did with Raphael's order is unethical and he is going to find out that it was you"I grinned. "That is the whole plan, Antonov. Let him find out and wonder without rest why I was coming after him... I want him to have sleepless nights just thinking about how h
REBORN FOR REVENGE Nineteen
SCARLET POV Margo was pissed but there was nothing she could do about it and at the end she'd had to comply with all my requests. I had made it clear to her that if she wanted to save the company then she had to suck up to me... But everything was all a sham because, in the end, she was going to lose everything, and it would happen without her even knowing it. It should have been easy too but I hated that I was still affected by her. There was still fear because I knew who Margo was and she was a killer. It had been a shock to learn that I wasn't the only one she'd taken out to keep the company for herself... There had been others and they were not so fortunate as I had been. I had also thought the boardroom had just been suffocating but now that I was outside with Antonov and taking in fresh air, I became aware of just how hectic the whole ordeal had been. I felt bereft and the cravings for the pills in my purse grew in my chest but I couldn't. I couldn't show any weaknesses.Anto

SCARLET POVI screamed, then bolted because I wasn't going to take any chances. He'd broken into my home, which meant that he was not here to talk but to hurt me.Antonov had been right. I shouldn't have messed with his orders... I had thought it would keep him busy... I should have known that he was unpredictable and dangerous. I shouldn't have underestimated him, not after what he and Miguel had done to me. I should have known that he was a sick bastard and that he hadn't changed, and probably never would. I barely made it past him before strong hands were wrapping around my waist and I was being hoisted off the ground.I cried out, struggling and punching him, but it only felt as if I was beating against a rock, and when he finally threw me down on my bed and loomed over me, I was the only one breathing hard, while he didn't look affected at all."What the hell do you think you are going" I gasped, glaring at him, my head still reeling from the fact that he'd broken into my house.
REBORN FOR REVENGE Twenty One
MARGO POV"You really need to calm down, Margo... I know the girl's a bitch, but you have to admit that her presence is making a huge impact on our overall revenue. We went up a whopping twenty percent, heck, that's what we made last year and that was after struggling through the..."I slammed my hand on the desk and then turned my gaze in Bianca's direction who stared back at me like a deer caught in the headlights."Can you not read the room... Do you not see how pissed off I am right now" I gritted, then exhaled, dragging my hands through my hair as I struggled inwardly with losing my shit, but I knew it was only going to be a matter of time before I snapped. Bianca's words came out tentative when she spoke them but all they managed was to piss me off. "I am just trying to make you feel better""I don't need you to make me feel better, I can manage that on my own Bianca, so please just shut your stupid mouth while I think"Bianca cleared her throat, then pressed her lips together,
REBORN FOR REVENGE Twenty two
SCARLET POVIt had been forty-eight hours and I was still reminiscing about the whole encounter with Raphael Batista. My hands still trembled just thinking about how he'd bypassed my whole security team and gotten right into my room.Antonov had wanted to travel back once he got the report but a firm refusal from me and promises to keep more bodyguards placated him enough to let him stay back with Elde.The only thing left now for me to turn off my mind because every time I closed my eyes, Raphael's crazy icy stare assailed my senses."Goddamn it. This is going nowhere" I groaned, dragging my hand through my hair when the door to my office flung open and Margo marched in, the whole aura about her screaming righteous indignation.Margo got to my desk and then slammed the memorandum I'd ordered to be distributed around each office onto it."How dare you do this without consulting me or Miguel" she barked, tapping at the memorandum viciously. "I don't know if you're forgetting that I bas
REBORN FOR REVENGE Twenty three
MARGO POV.Things were going to shit! The memory of Miguel walking Into my office while I'd been clutching the evidence of my disloyalty was forever ingrained in my head. He'd been distracted and angry about his new office, so he hadn't really taken note of how pale with fear I'd been. I'd managed to go around my desk, stash the pictures in my file cabinet, and managed to persuade him that I'd get someone to redesign his new workspace without him suspecting a thing. All in all, it had almost destroyed me. If Miguel had seen those pictures, I would have been ruined. He would have surely asked for a divorce because part of our agreement before we got married was that once either of us cheated, the marriage was over.God this was a nightmare and on top of all that, Scarlet was pissing me off. She said she wanted to get revenge and even though she said I wasn't her target, that didn't stop me from worrying. The look in her eyes had been ice cold, and she was shifty, which only meant that
REBORN FOR REVENGE Twenty four
SCARLET POVThere was no way Bianca knew me in the past. I didn't even know who she was and all of a sudden she was here telling me that I reminded her of myself from the past when we never crossed paths in our lives.Did Margo suspect something and put her up to this? There was just no way she could have found out I was Eve... If she did, she would have done something, so maybe she just suspected... No, I was blowing things out of proportion. There was no way Margo knew about me. She believed I was dead. Bianca cleared her throat, then rubbed her hand over her arms awkwardly and I realized that I was glaring and watching her intently."I mean, it's really not that serious, I just think you are similar to her that's all" she rambled nervously, her eyes darting around the empty office as if she expected someone to suddenly jump out of the obvious empty space. "Why are you telling me all this... I didn't even know Margo had a sister" I got out evenly even tho what I felt inside was an
REBORN FOR REVENGE Twenty five
RAPHAEL BATISTA POV "What are you going to do? Rape me like you did that girl when you were in high school, you fucking scum""No. Because I am not a fucking rapist" I yelled at the empty room, my breath coming out in harsh puffs of air. Her words spoken some days before still felt like acid burning through my mind... It wasn't exactly the way she'd said it, it was the look in her eyes as if she believed I was going to do the same thing to her.I should despise her for judging me just as the rest of the world did, instead, I kept hovering over her and I didn't even know why I couldn't shake off the compulsive obsessive behavior.But she'd been the one to demand my attention. I warned her to leave and since she didn't, then it was all going to be fair when I destroyed her.Her words had tormented me, giving me sleepless nights and making me remember all the bad memories I'd managed to keep suppressed. Scarlet hated me and yet she was fraternizing with the very people responsible fo
