REVENGE AND RAVISH Chapter 28
As he and James hurried through the restaurant's back door, Xander's heart was pounding. The chilly night air struck them like a slap, as gunshots reverberated behind them. Xander's veins flooded with adrenaline as they dashed down the tight alley. They had to live for the moment, even though he didn't trust James.James gasped and dragged Xander to a parking lot nearby, saying, "We have to get to the car." But Xander slammed him against the wall after grabbing him by the collar."What makes anything you say credible?" Xander snarled, his eyes flashing with rage. "I was led into this by you!"Fear flickered in James's eyes as he sought to escape. "I had no other option! I'm your father's property, Xander. But he's gone rogue—I didn't set you up for this.Then Xander shoved him free. "You're fortunate that I need you at this moment. However, you and I are done as soon as this is over.After recovering his breath, James nodded. "All right. However, you will require my assistance if you

As the night went on, Xander and Isabella felt the pressure of their predicament mounting. The knowledge that Alexander Blackwood had a whole syndicate behind him made the safehouse feel everything but secure. One could feel the tension in the air.While Xander walked the room with a determined yet frustrated expression, James was stretched out on the couch, lost in concentration. Still trembling from the assault, Isabella sat in the corner with her knees drawn up to her chest.Finally, Xander broke the silence by saying, "We need to act fast." "They have an opportunity to reorganise every moment we waste."Isabella raised her head, concern shining in her eyes. However, how? Even the full scope of the problem we face is unknown to us.James nodded in agreement and sat up. She is correct. Before we take them on, we need further details. We're dead if we rush in.Xander's fists tensed as he stopped pacing. He struggled to balance the rational necessity for prudence with his need for qui

The Secret of the MotherAs James's revelation weighed heavily on Xander, he remained silent. His father had taken his mother away from him, and he believed she was long dead, although she was still alive. A mixture of emotions, including shock, rage, and an odd feeling of optimism, pounded in his heart.Isabella sat next to him and touched his arm tenderly. "If she's alive, Xander," she muttered, "this is a game-changer."Slowly, with his thoughts still processing, Xander nodded. He finally stated, "We need to find her," in a steady yet resolute tone. "If she's been hiding, waiting to strike against my father, then she could be the key to ending all of this."James reclined in his chair, doubt casting a shadow across his features. It isn't that easy. Your dad is always watching. We cannot take the chance of guiding him directly to her, even if we locate her. We must exercise caution.Xander got up and resumed his pacing. "Where is she? Are you aware?After hesitating, James responded

Xander had trouble falling asleep after the emotional meeting with his mother. His thoughts were racing with the new information and what they needed to do next. Sophia had brought up the old coworker, the one who had supported Alexander but later turned against him. The secret to everything might lie with this man.Xander sat at the window in the early morning hours, watching the first rays of dawn appear on the horizon. Isabella stirred next to him. "We'll find him," she muttered without opening her eyes.Xander nodded, but he was still unsure. This was about justice now, not just retaliation. For the future he wished to create with Isabella, for his mother, and for the innumerable lives Alexander had ruined.The Hunt StartsThey started looking for Alexander's former associate two days later. James had discovered some leads. In order to remain undetected, the man had gone underground and adopted a series of fictitious names. They would need to exercise caution since Alexander would

The Evidence Within ReachThe abandoned warehouse was eerily quiet after the gunfire ceased. Xander, Isabella, and the others took a moment to catch their breath, but there was no time to waste. Marcus, still shaken, motioned them to follow him.“I stashed the evidence in a safe place. It’s not far from here,” Marcus whispered, wiping the sweat from his brow.They moved cautiously through the dark alleys, the tension thick in the air. Every shadow seemed to hide danger. Xander stayed close to Isabella, their hands brushing as they moved quickly, neither daring to speak of the fear they felt.Unraveling the TruthMarcus led them to an old, run-down building on the outskirts of town, a place long forgotten by everyone but him. As they entered, the stench of decay filled the air, but Marcus didn’t falter. He went straight to a loose floorboard in the far corner, pulling it up to reveal a small, weathered lockbox.“This is it,” Marcus said, his voice tight with anticipation.Inside the bo

The realisation made Xander's heart race. They had lost the game. He scanned the magnificent ballroom for any indication of treachery. Though there was no concrete proof, his gut told him something was off. Still.With his thoughts racing, Xander muttered to himself, "Natalie."He turned to look at Natalie, who was standing across the room staring at Alexander. Xander couldn't get rid of the impression that she knew more than she admitted, even though her face was inscrutable.He whispered, "Isabella, we have to move," and drew her nearer.Her eyes flashed with anxiety as she said, "What's going on?"Looking around the room for Marcus, he answered, "I believe we've been set up." "We must leave this place before things go wrong."However, a huge crash reverberated throughout the ballroom before they could take any action. The audience let out a terrified gasp when the elaborate chandeliers above them trembled.The room was suddenly filled with ominous shadows as the lights lowered. Ale

Even if Alexander's empire was in shambles and the courtroom battle was still imminent, there was still work to be done. The collapse of one of the city's most influential men sparked an unrelenting media frenzy. Though rumours circulated about his secrets being revealed and his influence eroding, Xander, Isabella, and Natalie knew the narrative was far from ended.A chilly wind blew through the scene as Alexander was led to the waiting police waggon. Xander was relieved yet fatigued as he stood next to Isabella, his arm wrapped around her. From the corner of his eye, however, he saw Natalie leaving—quietly, as though vanishing into the darkness."Natalie!" As he jogged after her, Xander cried out.She didn't turn, but she stopped. With a flat, worn-out voice, she added, "You don't need to thank me." "I never wanted to save anyone but myself."Standing a few steps behind her, Xander scowled. "You saved us nonetheless."Her eyes were colder than he remembered when she finally turned to

As the flames blazed in front of him, Xander sat by the fireplace, his thoughts racing. His body and soul were permanently scarred by the remains of their recent conflicts. Isabella had dozed out, her features softened by the firelight as she cuddled up on the couch across from him. His mind cleared for a minute as he observed her serene demeanour.However, the impending storm could not be avoided.The scenario had gotten increasingly hazardous the further they had penetrated Alexander's criminal organisation. More levels of treachery and dishonesty were revealed every day. Their next course of action was still uncertain, as if they were pursuing shadows on an unending battlefield.Xander was aware that the last encounter with Alexander was imminent. He was more uneasy about the mounting doubt that was invading his thoughts than he was about the face-off that was about to happen.Slowly emerging from her slumber, Isabella's eyes flitted open and locked with Xander's. She sat up and pu

REVENGE AND RAVISH Chapter 168
It was a quiet morning in the Mexican mansion. Natural sounds filled the air, including the distant crash of ocean waves, the whisper of the wind, and the rustle of leaves. But there was a distinct silence in the villa. This kind of peace had been achieved over many years of hardship, loss, and uncertainty. They had come a long way, and when the Blackwoods gathered around the table that morning, there was an unspoken agreement that they had finally found their real home.Xander stood at the window and looked out over the horizon. After the frenetic past few years, this quiet period felt like a dream. They were no longer defined by their history; rather, it was an integral part of who they were and not a thing they had to hide from. They were complete and a family, not only survivors.Sofia, who had become strong and confident, sat at the table with Liam and Elena. Even though they were fully grown adults, their kinship remained unbroken. Despite being in her early thirties, Elena main

The air in the narrow hallway grew cooler as they moved farther into the warehouse's gloomy areas. Xander's heart pounded, each step feeling heavier than the last. As if the walls themselves were closing in on them, they were forced more into a chasm of uncertainty. Sofia, whose sneakers were hardly audible over the cold concrete, held Mateo's hand and followed him carefully.Glancing over his shoulder, Xander whispered, "Stay close." Sofia gave a small nod, but her eyes were wide with terror and her face was white.They walked carefully down the hallway, their breath visible in the cold, stale air. The only sounds were the soft shuffle of their boots and the creaking of the building that had been empty for years. As they reached the end of the hallway, Xander paused, his senses sharply alert.In front of them was a massive metal door unlike anything they had ever seen. Its surface was perfect, and it had been well maintained for its age. The area appeared eerie as a faint red light f
REVENGE AND RAVISH Chapter 166
Even after the man vanished into the darkness, the gravity of the moment persisted. The candles' wavering light created long, unsettling shadows around Xander, Sofia, and Mateo as they stood together. As though anticipating their next action, the outside world appeared to hold its breath.Xander inhaled deeply as he attempted to calm the raging thoughts in his head. They couldn't ignore the option the man had given them. He had forewarned them of the perils that awaited them and the impending revelation of the past's shadows. More than that, though, he had sowed the seeds of suspicion regarding his father's actual involvement in this whole situation. Alexander Blackwood's legacy was not at all what Xander had thought."Will we actually do this?" The silence was broken by Sofia's voice as she stared at Xander with a mix of fear and resolve. We have no idea who that individual is or what his true desires are. However, what he mentioned seems genuine.Xander's face was unreadable as he t
REVENGE AND RAVISH Chapter 165
The stranger was standing in front of Xander, and the quiet of his presence was unnerving. His words lingered heavily in the air, providing cryptic hints to a truth they weren't yet prepared to comprehend, while the shadows played around him, masking his features. Sensing the tension in the room, Sofia had moved closer now, her hand tightening around Mateo, who had been abnormally quiet.Xander's gaze remained fixed on the person in front of him. His thoughts were racing as he considered his options. Trust was brittle, and how could he afford to trust someone who showed up out of the blue with only a vague warning in a world where enemies may be hiding around every corner? Nevertheless, there was something about the man's demeanour and presence that suggested he was aware of their predicament, knowledge that Xander was not yet aware of."What brings you here?" Even though he was feeling uneasy, Xander's voice remained calm. "Are you aware of the storm you keep talking about?"The figu
REVENGE AND RAVISH Chapter 164
Everyone appeared to feel the weight of the anxiety that pervaded the air. Even after searching every inch of the house and identifying every potential escape route, the uneasiness persisted. Sofia sat at the dining table, her eyes darting nervously to every shadow in the room as though it were concealing an adversary. Xander's mind was racing with ideas as he stood by the window, staring into the night, but none made sense. How is it possible for someone to be both close and distant?Once a haven, the house now felt like a trap. Mateo, who had previously made them laugh and brightened their days, appeared to notice the shift as well. His naive happiness had faded, and he held on to his mother tightly, his tiny hands clutching her like a lifeline. They were forced to work together to negotiate the uncertain maze that had become the outside world.Xander thought about the note again. Never put your trust in anyone. The storm is approaching. Certainly that was a warning. But for whom wa
REVENGE AND RAVISH Chapter 163
Xander was struck with a sudden and overwhelming realisation. The person behind this complex plan wasn't just interested in gaining wealth, influence, or power. No, their objective was much more intimate. He couldn't stop hearing the cryptic words of the operative: "The real target is someone much closer to you." However, who? Who in their family would deserve this kind of attention? Without proof, he couldn't let his thoughts go too far, but the dread in the pit of his stomach wouldn't go away.Standing in the corridor, Sofia gave Xander a worried glance. She drew nearer to him as her protective instincts took over. "What are you not telling me, Dad?" Even though she talked calmly, there were a thousand unanswered questions in her voice.Xander looked over at her. "Sofia, it's not just about Mateo anymore. I believe... I believe they are pursuing a trusted member of our family. Someone who is already in close proximity.Sofia's eyes widened as she realised what had happened. "You bel
REVENGE AND RAVISH Chapter 162
There was a noticeable sense of anxiety in the air as the days passed. Xander's thoughts were constantly focused on the imminent danger, even though he could always see the familiar scenery of their family home outside the window. The globe seemed to have been holding its breath, anticipating an event. A deep, gnawing pain that would not go away was palpable in the pit of his stomach. There was an impending event. However, what?Their private investigator had found some unsettling material, and the security procedures were in full effect. No one had expected the criminal network that had been preying on privileged families to be so well-organised. They knew when families were at risk because they had a network of informants. Mateo was obviously their primary target, and the danger had increased. However, Xander couldn't get rid of the suspicion that something more significant than a straightforward kidnapping plot was involved.For her part, Sofia had become more reserved. The ongoing
REVENGE AND RAVISH Chapter 161
Xander had never imagined that the days would go by with such effortless calm. Even while it wasn't flawless, every new moment made the burden of the past less heavy. Even if the wounds of betrayal still existed, Alexander had found a place in the family, and there was something inherently therapeutic about the way they were all learning to coexist, side by side. It seemed as though they were writing a new chapter in their lives through the process of reconciliation—one in which forgiving was difficult but always possible.Although Sofia and Alexander's relationship was still in its infancy, it was now evident that she was progressing. Enquiring about her father's early years, their family's past, and even her own prospects, she had spent more time with him in the garden. In addition to reluctance, there was curiosity—a wish to comprehend, to peel back the layers of suffering and loss that had characterised their shared history. There were glimmers of the father-daughter relationship
REVENGE AND RAVISH Chapter 160
After Alexander arrived in Mexico, the days were filled with laughter and the soft glow of recovery. Their family showed Alexander more love than Xander and Isabella could have ever dreamed. The decades-old father-son division seemed to be mending with every second that passed. The process of reconciliation was far from complete, though. They left behind invisible scars that were deeply embedded in the fabric of their relationship.Xander found himself wondering if things would ever be the same again again. Would they ever be able to move past the years of betrayal and abandonment? Or was there too much damage, too much ingrained in their history, to reverse?As the sun went down one night, Xander and Alexander stood on the porch and looked at the sky's bright colours. The air smelt like jasmine in bloom, and sounds of the night began to appear, like crickets chirping and leaves moving in the wind.It was Xander who broke the silence first. He grumbled, "I don't know if we can ever ma
