REVENGE and TEMPTATIONS Epilogue
Three Years Later:I checked my appearance for the nth time. I was nervous, but I was also excited because today was my baby's first recital.I can’t believe three years have passed since everything happened. My life has been so happy. I can’t ever remember it’s signing my life when I felt this much peace for such a long time.I had nothing to worry about; I was surrounded by people who loved me and supported me. It was insane that I had a life that was so perfect.My phone began ringing, and he picked it up from the table in front of me."Obaasan,” I cried out happily as soon as he answered the call. “I was just going to call you.” I said it with a smile in my voice.“I’m sure you were,” she teased. Ever since I promised to call her one day and I forgot to do so, she never believed me. I told her I wanted to call her.“I promise. I was going to call you because I wanted to talk to you before we left the house,” I said with a pout.“You haven’t left yet?” She questioned me with an acc

Fear. That was the emotion that hovered over my head as I stared at the paper in my hand. My doubting gaze found that of my best friend and personal doctor, Nova who mirrored my expression. She understood. She had to. We had gone through this scene six times already. The tears I had been trying to keep at bay finally broke through and my vision became blurry as my eyes scanned through the words printed on the paper. A stray tear dropped on the paper, and I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand to make sure another didn’t fall. The result wouldn’t change but I couldn’t help but read it again and again. I needed to make sure it wasn’t a dream. My emotions were conflicting. I didn’t know if I wanted this result to be a reality or a dream. I was pregnant. Again. And it was going to be my seventh pregnancy in four years, all of which never passed the first trimester. The happiness I was supposed to feel with the news had been replaced by panic. My throat was tight and I was aware

“Silas?” I whispered. My head was spinning and I held on to the door for support as a painful chilling sensation wrapped around me like a second skin. It felt like my heart was being ripped from my chest with malice. I didn’t want to believe what I was seeing but I had no choice. It was right in front of me, this ugly revelation I must see. Silas and Blair took a minute to register I was in the room before they flew apart from each other. I watched them with a new kind of despair as they scrambled to get anything to cover their selves. Confusion mixed with betrayal tugged my heart as it shattered. Disbelief and denial mixed in with the broken pieces which left me in a state of anguish. “Darling, it’s not what you think” Silas quickly put on his briefs and tried to approach me, but I took a step back. I didn’t want him to touch me with the same filthy hands he had been using to pull Blair’s hair back as he fucked her raw, without a condom. “That’s too cliché of an answer, don’t yo

I felt like glass as I stood to the side and watched from behind my dark shades as Dad’s coffin was lowered to the ground. I was still finding it difficult to come to terms with it even though reality slapped me hard in the face with the scene in front of me. Dad was gone and he wasn’t coming back. I tipped my head back to stop the tears that were about to fall but my efforts were futile as a stray tear dropped down my cheek, betraying me. It had been three long and painful weeks since Nova found me and delivered the worst news to me. Everything had been a blur up till now. My grip on Nova’s hand tightened painfully but she didn’t say a word of protest. Instead, she rubbed circles at the back of my hand with her fingers. She hadn’t left my side since then and I was grateful for it. If she had not been present, I would have probably lost my mind. Sniffing brought my attention to the side where Silas, Blair and Sabrina stood with fake tears streaming down both women’s faces. I could

My eyes flew open just as a gasp tore through my mouth. My breathing was laboured and I winced as the light blinded my eyes for a few seconds, forcing me to close them again as a result of the sting.I took a few seconds before I let my eyes flutter open again. I felt disoriented and my eyes darted around the room to try to remember where I was and how I got there.I tried to sit up but ended up falling back against the bed and hissing out as a sharp pain came from my abdomen at the same time realization whipped me harshly.Images unfolded before me mentally like I was watching a TV screen as I saw myself being hit by a car.“My baby” I cried out in horror, my hand flying to my stomach to check if I was fine as if my action would magically provide answers for me.It was also the same time I noticed the needle in my hand which was attached to a drip and the beeping sound of a monitoring machine.I tried to rip the needle out of my hand but the door opened and a nurse carrying a tray en

FIVE YEARS LATERMy eyes glided over the familiar view of San Francisco as the plane descended, causing my stomach to tie into knots and nausea to hit me harder than a storm. Memories I thought were buried assaulted me like the smell from a lively kitchen only this time, it made my stomach churn. It was supposed to be easy to be back since I thought I was stronger but I guess my supposed new strength was all in my head. I wanted to say that I was back home, but could I still consider this place that was the cause of my nightmares my home? I shivered involuntarily as the plane finally stopped and the door was opened for passengers to exit. I remained seated as the other passengers hurried out of the plane to unite with family members or friends. It felt like I could hear the blood rushing through my veins and I was hesitant to move. I should have allowed Nova to pick me up instead of meeting up at the house. Maybe it would have helped but I needed to do something first. “You’ll

Davian’s brows dipped and then his mouth turned down into a frown. I thought he was considering my offer but that thought drizzled out quickly as he chuckled coldly.The atmosphere suddenly felt unbearable but I kept my expression as blank as my emotions would let me. It felt like I walked into the lion’s den and the way out had dissipated into thin air.I would have been scared with the way those menacing eyes were boring into my depths but I came here knowing it wouldn't be easy.The laughter sent a chill down my spine. It was cruel and void of any emotion. He let his gaze drag all over me and I had to fight the urge to cower under his gaze and wrap my hands around myself.If there was one thing nobody had lectured me on and what wasn’t included in the multiple files I had buried under my box about this man, it was how easily he could make you feel stupid and less of a person with just a sweep of his gaze.Anger boiled beneath the surface of my skin at the condescending look in his

I sat stiffly at the back of the car as Shiro drove us to the penthouse. The muscles in my shoulders were rigid, it felt like the stiffness was clawing up my throat almost making it impossible to breathe. Unshed tears made my golden-brown eyes shimmer as I let my gaze trail the buildings passing by in a blur.The words Davian had thrown at me so casually hit me harder than a train wreck and I was struggling to balance myself before I toppled over.I thought I knew what humiliation was after what Blair and Silas did to me, but Davian showed me that it had different flavours, and his version left a bitter and unforgettable taste in my mouth.“I’m assuming it didn’t go well” Shiro spoke, and I met his eyes in the mirror. There was no judgement in his eyes because that was who he was. He would never judge me. We hadn’t spoken since I ran to the car, like a puppy with its tail between its leg. He drove off without any question and I thought there wouldn’t be any.I didn’t even have to conf

“I’ll wait for you by the car." Divine pressed the kiss to my forehead and walked back to the car while I made my way into the cemetery.I haven’t been here since dad was buried, and it was weird, to say the least. I missed him a lot, and I was sorry that I had never visited since the six years he had been here.Maybe I was ashamed because of the hate I felt towards him in the four years that followed his death.It didn’t take long for me to reach this spot where he was buried. Words could not describe the emotions that were flowing through me as I placed the flower on the grave.“Hi dad,” I whispered, and I took a seat on the grass beside his grave. Thankfully, Shiro had paid someone to always make sure that the grave was always clean and well taken care of, so there were no overgrown grasses or thorns on the bed.“I’m sorry I haven’t visited in a very long time. I was very angry because of the misunderstanding caused by Sabrina. I’m sure you must have been lonely.” I’m also cute, wh

I groaned as my eyes opened groggily. The first thing I noticed was that I was no longer in the hospital room.I lurched forward in shock, but my body was dragged back with a force that caused me to look down. I was tied to a chair, and the movement has caused pain to travel up my healing hand.Blood trickled down the bandaged hand, meaning I must have hurt it while trying to move. I winced as the pain from the hand increased.“Can I get a fucking break? I was just shot and now kidnapped.” I cursed and looked to the ceiling, but there was nothing to look at.The roof was falling, and I doubt it would hold if a storm were to happen.“And an abandoned warehouse too,” I scoffed when I took in my surroundings. Judging from the look of this place, I’m sure no one has been here in years.“Aren’t you going to come out, Sabrina?” I called when no one would step forward or speak to me.I wasn’t stupid. I could feel eyes on me, so I knew she and whoever helped her bring me here were in the shad

I could hear the loud beeping, but my eyes wouldn’t open, so I couldn't see where I was. One thing was certain, though. I wasn’t in bed with Davian, as the bed was too hard and the sheets over me weren’t familiar.“Maliah?” I heard Davian whisper. It sounded like he was so close yet so far, and I tried to pry my eyes open, but it wouldn’t budge.“Are you awake? Can you hear me?” He asked again, but this time his voice was more desperate.I was also desperate to open my eyes so I could see the family grey eyes I fell in love with, but my body seemed to have forgotten how to function.“Can you twitch your hands for me, love, if you can hear me? Please, baby,” he pleaded, and I tried my best to move any part of my body.I hated that tone on him. I didn’t like how desperate and almost close to tears he was. My brain wasn’t functioning well, and I was having a hard time figuring out why I was here, unable to open my eyes or move, or even what had happened earlier.“She moved her fingers,”

The pain never came as I closed my eyes and waited for it. What came instead was Blair’s cry of pain, and I heard the gun clatter to the ground.I opened my eyes, and a strangled gasp escaped me when I saw the familiar custom-made tanto embedded in her hand, which had been holding the gun earlier.Blair’s other hand held the hand that was now bleeding profusely as she cried out in pain.My eyes snapped to the door to find my Oniichan standing there with a glare in his eyes and the sheath of his tanto in his hands.“What the fuck?” Blair screamed in pain.Shiro walked over to me and began to search for any signs of injuries.“I’m fine, Oniichan. Nothing happened. You came on time,” I muttered shakily.We looked behind me to see the spot where the bullet had been embedded.“We need to get that out of her hand before she loses too much blood and call the police too,” I told him.I winced as I looked at Blair again. The floor now had her blood as she cried.“What? Are you crazy?” Shiro hi

I stilled at the question, and a cold crept up my spine. My head snapped to the back, and I gasped in fear to see Blair at my back. How did she get in?I said nothing to her at first. I wasn’t going to confront her in front of my babies, so I turned back to them with the most genuine smile I could muster.“Mummy, who is she? Is she a bad person?” Keita asked, his brows in a frown as he kept watching her from the end of the screen.“Keita, why don’t you keep your siblings company? I have to attend to my guest, and I’ll call you back as soon as I finish here, okay? Maybe Dad will be back by then, and you can talk to him too. Is that a good deal?” I proposed, knowing they might protest a bit.“Okay?” He answered with uncertainty, still not taking his eyes off Blair. “Will you be fine, Mom?” He asked again, and I nodded.“Of course, I’ll be fine. I know her,” I said, but they looked like they didn’t believe me. Just like the twins, though, Little Ro had a curious expression on his face as

The impact of the news release was crazy. The effect was bigger than we expected, and the fans were angry. I was actually scared of the uproar the revelation of who Blair really was caused, and I was somehow worried when I saw articles of people demanding her head.“The comments are crazy, Maliah. This is bigger than we expected.” Ria said it with surprise as she scrolled through the comment section.“I know, right? It’s almost as if a saint got disgraced. I didn’t know she had this big of a fan base, and now they’ve turned on her,” I said with worry, and I glanced at the tab in my hand as well.I was also going through the comment sections, and while I was satisfied with the result, it was still alarming at how quickly people turned against others.“Apart from the comments tearing her apart, what do we have? Remember, she shouldn’t be able to recover from this.” I reminded Ria and logged out of the tab before I started gaining sympathy for Blair because of the violent threats her for

A wide grin appeared on my face when I saw Davian climb down from the private jet. He had insisted that he would meet me at home, but I was too eager to see him. I missed him like crazy."I told you not to come," he said with a roll of his eyes as he handed the bag he was holding to the nearest bodyguard, but he had a pleased grin on his face."I missed you," I muttered before I flung myself into his waiting arms. "It felt like you were gone forever," I mumbled into his neck.Davian laughed, but his hands tightened around my waist, and he pulled me closer. I felt his lips leave kisses on my hair and the side of my head."I missed you more, kitten. Maybe we should go together next time?" He offered, and I nodded eagerly.I leaned back to kiss him just as eagerly as I felt, and he groaned against my mouth and deepened the kiss."At least wait until you are home," Kurt mused. I had almost forgotten that he had gone with Davian.Harvey and Isa chose to stay home and wait for Kurt since I

“I still can't believe that Nova was the cause of everything. You can never fully trust anyone,” Harvey said with a shake of her head and disdain in her lips.“I'll be proving her right if I say that after everything you've done for her, but she was cruel and ungrateful to do that. She had a gem of a friend in you,” Isa added."Honestly,” I said with a sigh, “I just want to forget she existed. It's going to be hard, but I don't want to think about or talk about her. I'm just happy that we discovered everything before she did more damage.” Davian and Kurt left for Vegas for a business expo, so I decided to stay with Isa and Harvey for the two days they would be gone since I didn't want to be home alone. “You've been through a lot, child. Whatever it is that's going on, I hope you don't get hurt and keep yourself safe at all times." Isa reached out to grasp my hands and gave them a little squeeze."Thank you, Isa. I promise I won't let harm come to Ronan again because of what I'm doi
