REVENGE AND RAVISH Chapter 35
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

The room was suffocatingly quiet. Isabella stood still, her eyes fixed on the screen as she grasped the magnitude of her discovery. The "Alliance" was not merely a conspiracy; it was a worldwide network that had penetrated some of the most powerful organizations in the world.Xander had not told her about this.The weight of treachery was weighing down on her, and her heart was pounding. Unaware of the actual threats they faced, how could he allow her to fight in the dark? There was dread in addition to rage. What else was Xander concealing from her if he could conceal this? Was she able to trust him any more?She heard footsteps just as she was about to leave the workplace by reaching for the door. Xander.The door creaked softly as he stepped into the room. Though his eyes were instantly drawn to the open laptop, he replied in a casual tone, "Couldn't sleep either?" A moment later, his face changed."What are you doing?" His physique was stiff, his voice fierce.Isabella stood up st

The weight of all Selena had disclosed was like an anchor crushing down on Isabella as she sat in the silence of her apartment. Her thoughts immediately returned to the first time she had seen Xander. Had there been clues, times when she ought to have asked him questions? Had that trust been misplaced, all the times he'd begged her to trust him?With Xander's number highlighted on the screen, she glanced down at her phone. She might face him and demand the truth with only one press. But she hesitated at the concept. What if Selena had been correct? What if she was in danger if she confronted him?A sudden knock at the door startled her from her thoughts. Her heart racing, she quickly went to the peephole to see who was there. On the opposite side, Xander stood with a worried expression on his face.His voice was firm as he said, "Isabella, we need to talk," but she could hear the desperation in it.She inhaled deeply before opening the door and looking into his eyes. "I think we do."

Isabella stood by herself in the darkened room, the burden of the disclosures bearing down on her chest. The silence after Xander's departure sounded deafening. The world she believed to be her own was collapsing beneath her feet, and it wasn't just Xander who betrayed her. She had been living in the shadow of lies for years, and her parents had been killed because they were too near to the truth.However, the fog had now dissipated. The way forward was obvious: with or without Xander, she would destroy the Alliance. Nothing else was an option for her.A few of days later, Isabella was seated in a quiet café outside the city. Selena, the lady who had given her a lifeline but also rocked her world with the truth, sat across from her. As the one person Isabella could trust, Selena had played a crucial role in her parents' investigation years prior.Selena examined the room and murmured, "We have to move carefully," in a quiet voice. "The Alliance is watching everything. They'll realise

Isabella realised the seriousness of her choice as she saw the shaky invader get up and run from her flat. The Alliance knew she was officially in too deep to turn back now. The same way they had come for her parents, they would come for her.But she was prepared this time.She and Selena met early the following morning in a secluded area of the city where they wouldn't be overheard. They were on adrenaline, not sleeping, and constantly watching their backs, so the normal small conversation had been wiped out by the urgency of their position.Isabella sat into the booth opposite from Selena and stated, "They sent someone to my flat last night," in a steely voice.Selena's eyes grew gloomy. "Did they hurt you?"Isabella gave a headshake. "No. All they wanted to do was frighten me. However, it isn't functioning.Selena nodded gravely at her. "All right. Their weapon is fear, but if you don't allow it to rule you, they can't use it against you.Isabella produced the folder containing the

Isabella stood by the window, gripping the phone more tightly than she had the previous evening as the morning light came through her blinds. She kept thinking about Xander's warning. There had been genuine concern in his voice, and his words had been more than a threat. More than anything the Alliance had done to date, it shook her.She couldn't stop now, though.Selena was already setting stuff downstairs. The damaging files were only a day away from being made public. When the news broke, the lawyers they had contacted guaranteed complete security, and journalists from a number of reliable publications lined up.Isabella came down the stairs with a knowing expression in her eyes, and Selena looked up. "Didn't you hear from him?"Isabella's throat was dry as she nodded. Last night, Xander gave a call. He cautioned me. instructed me to retreat.Selena squinted her eyes. "So he's also trying to frighten you."Isabella mumbled, "Maybe," as she looked down at the table with the evidence

As Isabella took in Michael's words, her heart raced. With the weight of prior betrayals and the urgency of the present, the room felt too small and too tense. She hadn't anticipated Michael confessing his love, but she didn't have time to worry over feelings at this point. Every choice felt like a step towards either salvation or doom as the clock ticked away.She turned her back on him and gazed into the encroaching dusk outside the window. "What is your strategy, even if I do trust you? You stated that we require an alternative approach, but what do you propose? How can we defeat them without endangering ourselves? Michael's voice was steady but urgent as he approached but maintained his distance. "I've been operating internally. I've observed how they function and their areas of weakness. They can be exposed, but it can't be by a direct attack. They will launch a retaliation if you expose those files now, leaving you helpless. First, we must cut off important Alliance members' su

They became separated by Xander's quiet. As Isabella waited for his answer, she could feel the tension building and her heart pounding. Although she had always been suspicious of Xander's tendency to keep things to himself, she now needed him badly, and his choice would determine everything.At last, Xander's tight voice broke the silence. The one thing that has kept me alive is what you want me to betray. You're asking me to ruin all of my hard work."Isabella steadily maintained eye contact. "I want you to act morally." Horrible things have been done by the Alliance. You are aware of their potential. This is about all the lives they have destroyed, not just about us.She thought for a second that Xander may go as he tightened his jaw. He turned away instead, his hands clenched. "Are you sure they'll let you live? They have eyes everywhere, even if we take them down. They will pursue you."I don’t care," was her stern response. "I've stopped running. I would rather die fighting if I

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
REVENGE AND RAVISH Chapter 167
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
