REVENGE AND RAVISH Chapter 57
When the gang finally gathered their breath, the anxiety in the night air was palpable. Isabella's heart was still racing from what had happened only a few hours before. The unrelenting flooding that Victor's troops unleashed destroyed the underground sanctuary that had served as their safe haven. However, a fresh sensation of hope arose in them as they stood amid the thick jungle on the edge of the tiny African settlement. For now, at least, they were free.Although Isabella was relieved that they were safe, she couldn't help but think of her father. In the confusion, Brad had been left behind. The idea twisted like a knife in her stomach. It was a miracle that any of them had survived the intense water that tore through the underground compound. Beside her were Xander, Solomon, and Christine, their faces sombre, their clothes filthy and wet. They were also struggling to answer the question that no one wanted to voice aloud: Had Brad lived?"Isabella," Xander said in a soft yet autho

The jungle on either side was a haze of green and brown as the river's current swiftly carried them downstream. Isabella, whose hands were still shaking from their tight escape, slumped back against the boat's wooden bench. The mayhem they had left behind was drowned out by the sound of the ocean roaring. At the helm, Xander's eyes were focused on the future, but his jaw was clenched tightly, indicating that he was still on high alert.With her arm wrapped protectively around her daughter's shoulders, Christine sat next to Isabella. "How are you doing, my love? Christine's voice was hardly audible above a whisper when she asked.Despite the adrenaline still pumping through her veins, Isabella nodded. There was no time for consolation, but she could sense her mother's anxiety. "We must continue to move," she answered, sounding more determined than she actually felt. "Victor is gone, but his men won't stop."With tears still in her eyes, Christine nodded. All of them had been weakened b

The boat cut through the calm waters, creating a little ripple in its wake as the group ventured deeper into the dense, untamed bush. The light seeped through the thick canopy of leaves overhead, creating dappled shadows that danced across Isabella's face as the sun rose. Xander's attention was on the river ahead, but he couldn't help but look at her. She was stronger than anyone he had ever seen, but there was still a hint of fatigue in her features.With her hands firmly clutched in her lap, Christine sat next to her daughter. Their unknown future hung heavy in the air, and the relief of being reunited with Isabella had not lasted long. Although they had eluded Victor's immediate grip, his network was extensive, and his devoted supporters would not stop until their task was accomplished.Perched at the stern, Solomon watched their surroundings closely. Because of his years spent in the underworld, he appeared to be the only one who was unfazed by the threat. However, even he was awa

As Christine and Isabella gathered in one corner, whispering to each other, the only sound in the cabin was the rustle of leaves outside. Solomon leaned against the door, pistol in hand, loose but ready, while Xander paced back and forth, mentally reciting plans A, B, and C.In the silence of their haven, the sounds seemed to be amplified by the forest beyond, which had seemingly taken on a life of its own. Isabella flinched at the sound of a distant bird's call, and Christine put a comforting touch on her daughter's shoulder. "Don't worry, my love," Christine whispered. "We've made progress thus far. We'll get through it.Isabella nodded, but her heart continued to race. She was unable to shake the persistent sense that they were not as hidden as they believed. The dense vegetation appeared to be a veil that was both protective and brittle, ready to be pulled back at any moment.Solomon glanced at Xander after checking his watch. "In three hours, Miguel will meet us at the river dock

With its motor humming steadily, the boat skimmed across the river, the lush jungle fading into the distance. The stress on board was greater despite the damp air. Isabella's heart was beating in time with the engine as she held onto Xander's arm. Christine sat across from them, thinking deeply as she stared at the lake. Standing at the edge of the boat, Solomon looked for indications of a pursuit along the riverbanks.Miguel's expression was a mask of concentration as he manoeuvred the boat with seasoned accuracy. Without a question, the man was a smuggler, but he had a way of remaining composed under duress that gave Isabella hope in the middle of the mayhem.The sound of gunfire dwindled as the bush started to thin. They had outrun their pursuers for the moment. The safety they were looking for, however, still seemed so far away.“Where are we going?” Xander asked Miguel in a stern yet quiet voice.Miguel said without turning around, "A fishing village is about an hour away." The r

The days that followed at the safe home went by in a hectic yet effective pattern. By contacting his contacts, Solomon was able to get travel passports, a means of escape, and fictitious identities. They had no choice but to take the risk, even if every step felt risky.Isabella helped Christine compile a list of their resources. Her admiration for the woman who had endured so much grew as she learnt more about her mother's years of hiding. Despite Christine's unwavering determination, Isabella couldn't help but notice the grief in her eyes.Solomon outlined the last steps of their strategy one evening as the group sat around the tiny dining table.He placed a chart across the table and said, "We'll depart at dawn." "A truck has been scheduled by Eduardo to transport us to the border. We will next enter Guatemala and go to Mexico."Guatemala?" Xander raised an eyebrow in question. Victor's backyard is that."That's right," Solomon said. He won't expect us to go there at all. Although

The hectic, perilous life they had left behind was nothing like the little Mexican suburb. It was a peaceful sanctuary that seemed to have stood the test of time, tucked up against the hills with cobblestone streets and pastel-colored homes. A gentle wind that smelt of fresh earth and blossoming flowers welcomed Isabella and Xander as they got off the bus.Alejandro, Marta's cousin and their contact, was waiting for them. Wearing a plain shirt and pants, he was a tall man with gentle eyes and greying hair. As they came closer, he smiled warmly at them.Alejandro said, "Welcome," with a lovely Spanish accent. "This is going to be your house. Here, you'll be secure.Xander held out a hand. Alejandro, thank you. We appreciate everything.Alejandro nodded, comprehension flitting in his eyes. "Let me show you the house, please."Alejandro had set up a little but quaint house for them. The front was framed by a little garden with bougainvillaea and marigolds. The inside was light and comfor

Chapter 64: Constructing EternityWith every year that went by, the foundation of the life Isabella and Xander established in the peaceful Mexican suburb became stronger. They became inseparable partners in every sense of the word, not just lovers, as a result of the difficulties they had encountered. Mateo and Sofia, their twins, were the centre of it all, adding turmoil and fun to their days.Both Mateo and Sofia were energetic five-year-olds. Mateo was intelligent and inquisitive, constantly following his father around the workshop and asking questions about the equipment and machinery, while Sofia had inherited her mother's keen intelligence and Xander's audacity."Papa, why is that sound coming from the hammer?" Mateo would ask with a sideways inclination of his tiny head.Xander would bow down to look into his son's eyes and grin. "Because it's powerful, Mateo, like you'll become someday." robust to construct and defend.Sofia added, not far behind her brother. "Papa, I also wan

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

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
