Retribution in Bloom Chapter 14 A Surprise for Michele
"Ah!" Scott groaned as a surge of pleasure overwhelmed him. He gripped my waist tightly and thrust with abandon, losing himself in the moment.At that moment, the door burst open with a bang, and Michele stormed in.My thick lashes were glistening with tears, and the thrill of revenge combined with the pleasure Scott brought me made me climax. I couldn't control my moans as they escaped my lips.Scott eventually collapsed beside me while Michele stood petrified at the doorway. Her body tensed, eyes wide as she processed the sight of Scott and me intertwined on the bed."Ah!" A scream tore from Michele’s throat, piercing and full of anguish.Reacting swiftly, Scott pulled away from me and draped the sheets over my form. He then grabbed the bedside lamp and threw it at Michele’s feet, a clear warning. "Get out!"Michele's face contorted with fury, her body shaking as she trembled with rage."Adrianna, you bitch! I'm going to kill you!" she yelled, lunging toward the bed.
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 15 Adrianna Is Mine
I was taken aback.The sound of a slap rang out, but it didn't strike my face.It hit Scott instead.In that split second, he stepped in front of me to shield me.Melissa, fueled by her fierce love for her daughter, lashed out with all her might, turning Scott's head to the side with the force of her blow.I stood there, stunned, gazing up at the tall figure who had just protected me for the second time.Even Melissa hadn't anticipated Scott's intervention. Realizing what had occurred, she shot me a venomous glare that chilled me to the bone.Scott glanced at me and commented, "Adrianna, go outside and wait for me."Without a word, I obeyed.Melissa had a son and a daughter. After her husband's early death, their relatives had greedily eyed the Finnens' wealth. Rumors abounded that her son, Terry Finnen, had taken the reins at the Finnen Group.Terry was a ruthless man. He had taken control of the situation and became the head of the family in less than a year. The Finn
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 16 The Langley Mansion
Although Scott had always been reluctant with this business marriage, he had never been so directly confrontational with the Finnen Family before. Melissa was at a loss, sensing a disturbing change within him, which was rather unsettling.As Melissa and Michele were absorbed in their thoughts, they failed to notice Terry entering the room.Standing beside the bed, Terry broke the silence abruptly. "Just let him go."Seeing Michele's stunned expression, he explained, "Scott is ambitious and cunning. No one can truly understand what he's plotting. You can't win against him, Michele.""No!" Tears instantly streamed down Michele's face.She was a hopeless romantic. Just the thought of someone telling her to leave Scott hurt her more than anything."It's all Adrianna's fault! Terry, it's all because of her. If you just get rid of her, Scott will return to me. You must help me, Terry!""That's right, Terry." Eager to ease her daughter's suffering, Melissa, suppressing her earlier un
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 17 Does She Really Love You?
Scott's face was stormy as he turned his icy gaze on the maid, causing her to shudder and attempt a nervous smile. But before she could utter a word, Scott seized the knife from her grip and, in a swift motion, slashed her face."Ah!" The maid clutched her face and screamed in agony as blood streamed through her fingers.Zeana watched in horror, stunned into silence.After a moment, her shock turned to fury. "You're insane! You've lost your mind!" she shouted at Scott.To Zeana, Scott was the family's beacon of hope, destined not to truly love any woman. Michele was ideal in every respect. How could he be so misguided by this woman?Pondering this, Zeana's inability to accept the situation boiled over into rage. Turning to me, she hissed, "Whore! This is all your fault!" In a fit of anger, she grabbed a nearby ornament and hurled it at me with all her might.I froze, terror-stricken.It all happened in an instant. By the time I realized what was unfolding, it was already too
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 18 Club Kyo
As I read the messages, a smile flickered across my face, only to vanish moments later.Being an orphan, my son had been my whole world, my sole family. With him gone, solitude was all that remained.Nights found me curled in a corner, silently enduring an engulfing loneliness. Tears stained my cheeks as I lay awake until the first light of dawn.I grew increasingly sensitive and defensive, the slightest disturbance putting me on high alert.Afraid of getting hurt again, I always kept others at a distance. Thus, when Scott said he wanted my heart, I was thrown into confusion.…The following day at the Langley Group, the air shifted the moment I entered Scott's office.He embraced me from behind and grazed his lips against my ear. "Adrianna, I miss you…" he whispered.His breath quickened as he spoke, his hands flirting with the hem of my shirt, poised to venture beneath.My body tensed instantly.Scott's hands roamed over me, sending waves of shivers through my body. My chee
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 19 Terry Finnen
Hearing his introduction, I could only manage a bitter smile.So, this was the infamous Terry. All this scheming was just to avenge his sister.He stood and approached, his movements deliberate. Grabbing a fistful of my hair, he forced me to meet his icy gaze, then released a scornful laugh."You are exactly as they say—a whore. But Michele is my only sister. You seduced Scott, and you caused her to never become a mother."I bit my lips and refused to back down as I stared back at him. When I heard his words, I didn't even bother to hide the disdain that filled my eyes.How could Michele, who had bullied others and even taken my son's heart, have any right to motherhood? The very thought was absurd."Oh?" Terry's expression chilled further when he saw my unrepentant stance. Roughly, he pushed me aside and returned to his seat on the sofa."Since you're so adept at seducing men, choose one now and perform for us. I'll record it and show everyone, including Scott, just how shamele
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 20 He Has Someone Else in His Heart
Terry was caught off guard, and his breath became uneven.Feeling his hard-on, I giggled.Veins bulged on Terry's forehead as he suppressed his emotions. He was clearly infuriated, but his expression turned odd as his anger was mixed with lust.With a forceful shove, Terry pushed me away, his eyes darkening with provoked anger.Meanwhile, the men in suits were completely taken aback.Everyone knew Terry's temperament. Any woman who had ever tried to approach him hadn't even managed to touch a single hair on his body before meeting a miserable end. Yet, here I was, having not only sat on his lap but also openly flirted with him in full view of his associates.They were all stunned, wondering if this was the real Terry they were seeing. At that moment, they didn't know what to say. It wasn't until Terry shoved me off him that they finally breathed a sigh of relief.Regaining their composure, one of the men sneered, "Stop wasting your energy, girl. Mr. Finnen won't have any fee
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 21 The Reason Why She Seduces You
He found it strange when I gave him a look of subtle mockery after he mentioned that Michele would never be able to be a mother again. It didn't seem like I was merely trying to climb the social ladder by seducing someone as powerful as Scott. Perhaps I had other motives.His men moved swiftly, and twenty minutes later, the results of the investigation were laid out before Terry. "Just as I thought," he muttered, frowning at the information in front of him.Without delay, he picked up the phone and called Michele. "Michele, I've found out something about Adrianna. I'll send it to you."…After leaving the club, I called Scott. I told him I wasn't feeling well and wanted to take the rest of the day off. The deal hadn't been finalized, so I suggested he send someone else to handle it.There was a pause on the other end of the line before his voice softened, filled with concern. He asked about my health, told me to rest, and not to worry about the contract. When the call ended, I

Retribution in Bloom Chapter 39 Revenge Against Scott
Just before I slipped into unconsciousness, I thought I saw Scott rushing towards me, his arms enveloping me in a frantic embrace. He called my name over and over, his voice filled with fear.It was almost comical—a man as ruthless and cold as Scott, driven by fear.…I fell sick. The world passed me by in a hazy blur. Despite my condition, Scott kept me confined, fearful I might try to escape.One morning three days later, I was half-asleep when someone harshly pulled me out of my daze.It was Zeana. "You witch! Do you think you deserve my son?" she hissed, glaring at me with venom before looking me over with disdain. "I've already eliminated his real love, so you're just a stand-in. Know your place."'The real love? Is she referring to Scott's first love?' I wondered."You caused that woman's car accident?" I gasped in realization."That's right!"Due to her lack of regard for me, Zeana did not bother to hide anything and just smirked. "Scared now? Adrianna, if you value
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 38 For the Second Time
I did not have many belongings. After briefly packing everything away, I ended up with one luggage bag. Terry held my hand with his free one as we walked side by side, each pulling a bag. We exchanged smiles, filled with the excitement of crossing the great ocean to start anew.How thrilling it was!At that thought, my smile deepened. However, before my smile could truly blossom, our happy moment was abruptly interrupted by a shocking explosion. I flinched, terror seizing me.Terry's face was dark as he hurriedly pulled me into his arms to keep me safe in his protective embrace. The mansion's doors had been blasted open. Through the settling dust and smoke, Scott—dressed in his finely tailored suit—and a group of mercenaries strode in.His eyes fixed on our intertwined hands, narrowing with a dangerous intensity as a lethal intent emanated from him."Adrianna, come here!" he barked out through gritted teeth. "No way!" I shot back immediately. "Scott, I have nothing to
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 37 Happy Ending
"Mr. Finnen, please spare me!" the bald man pleaded. With a cold look on his face, Terry stood up and looked at the other man like he was already dead. "You deserve death for hurting her."Then, he said to his subordinate, "I don't want to see him again.""Yes, Mr. Finnen! Scott has gone too far. Should we inform Ms. Nanami?"Terry faltered for a moment before shaking his head. "No, there's no need. Such filth is not fit to be heard by her. She will have me for the rest of her life. I will protect her, never letting her come to harm ever again."I stumbled as I ran out. Still, I could not hold back the pain. With my arms around myself, I sank to my knees and howled with sorrow. Scott, the man who kept going on and on about how he would marry me. I really was blind. I could not even differentiate a man from a monster.As for Terry…"Fool! You're an absolute idiot…" I murmured through my tears. But then, slowly, a smile broke through my sorrow as warmth filled my heart. S
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 36 Revenge and The Truth
Caught off guard, I ended up with Michele's hands wrapped around my neck as she squeezed hard. "L-Let go."Michele's strength was overwhelming. I tried to pry her hands away, scraping and scratching until blood welled up on her skin, but I could not get her off me. Breathing became a struggle, my face turning an ashen white. Dizziness washed over me in intense waves, a loud roar filling my head. I pushed past the agonizing pain and desperately called for help. "H-Help! S-Save me!"But Michele was unfazed, her voice hysterical as she screeched, "Scream all you want, Adrianna! No one will come to your aid. "I've sent all the servants away, so stop wasting your energy. Just accept your fate and die!"Despair seized me as I realized Michele spoke the truth.Yet, I couldn't resign myself to this fate. I couldn't die just like this. With a clenched jaw, I gathered all my strength and stomped hard on the back of Michele's knees. "Argh!"Her grip slackened in pain. Seizing
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 35 It Was All a Ruse
I bit my lips hard. I was using the pain to numb the pain in my heart. Indeed, what a joke. I shut my eyes. When I next opened them, they were covered in ice. "Scott, I agree to do what you suggested," I calmly stated....I called Terry, telling him I had escaped. When he heard I wanted to stay by his side due to how scared I was, he immediately sent a car for me. I was brought back to the Finnen Residence. Melissa had gone on a vacation abroad. The only other person at home was Michele. However, she was resting in her room due to the shock and trauma she suffered. I did not see her at all. "Adrianna! I was just about to send someone to rescue you. Thank goodness you're alright!" Terry embraced me. This tall man was actually looking at me with red eyes. I went stiff. With a frown, I resisted the urge to push Terry away. On the inside, I was laughing. What a great actor Terry was. Not even in his dreams could he have imagined that the bald man had put the call
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 34 Choose One
Michele stopped talking. Her face was swollen, as blood began to drip from the corner of her mouth. She was utterly stunned. At the same time, she backed down and became more subdued. My reaction was the opposite of hers. I was unusually silent and seemingly calm. The bald man could not resist glancing at me. Then, he pulled out his phone and put it on speaker as he called Terry. "Terry, I have Adrianna and Michele.""Let them go! How much do you want? I'll pay." Terry's voice rang over the phone. "Do you think I need money?" The bald man scoffed. Moments later, he spat out through gritted teeth, "You killed my family, so I'll give you a taste of the same agony."Let's play a game. You can only choose one woman out of these two. The one you choose will be released while the abandoned one..." The bald man excitedly glanced at the metal cage. "She'll be fed to the dogs!""Terry! Terry, pick me! Pick me! I'm your sister!" Michele immediately started shouting in panic. Ter
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 33 Disappointed and Kidnapped
Silence fell. It was a very long silence. I could faintly hear heavy breathing coming from outside through the crack of my door. While I could not see Terry's face, I could sense the pain and conflicted emotions he was being barraged by. Michele was his sister! How could he go after her? "I'm sorry, Adrianna. I... I can't do that." Terry's voice was hoarse and dripping with agony. "Still, I won't give up on you."In the end, it's my family who wronged you. I'll use my whole life to make it up to you, to give you a good life."As he did not want to push me too far, he left for now. I felt a heavy burden on my shoulders. At the same time, I came to a decision. I pulled out my phone and called Scott. "Hey, babe, have you thought it over?""Yes." I nodded. "I've made up my mind.""Really? Babe, once this is over, I'll marry you..."I instantly interrupted his happy rambling and emphasized, "I won't do it. I won't get together with Terry."Silence fell on the other e
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 32 Terrifying Devotion
The man who pinned me down six years ago was Terry.My son was his.Michele was also his sister.Michele caused my son's death and even stole his heart.Goodness! I was going to explode.Not even the most melodramatic romance novels would dare to come up with a plot like that.I could not accept it. It really was too much for me.However, something felt strange about the entire affair. There was an eerie and unsettling quality that I could not pinpoint.With fists clenched tight, I forced myself to calm down. "How did you know that I was the one?""The manager of Club Kyo told me. He has a photo of you walking out of my room."A photo of when I left?Something clicked in my mind. I hurriedly asked, "Which room were you in back then?"301."301?"Oh." I heaved a sigh of relief when I heard he had been in room 301.Back when I was working part-time at Club Kyo, I was instructed to deliver something to room 301 by my manager. Something had happened inside, as it was extreme
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 31 Topple the Finnen Family Together
Scott stared deep into my eyes. "I'll divorce Michele. Adrianna, marry me. Be my wife."I felt an urge to cry, and my eyes turned red.Strictly speaking, Scott was my first man. When I used him, he gave me warmth and someone to rely on.My heart was not made of stone. How could I not be moved? I had indeed fallen in love with him.I wrapped my arms around him. Tears shimmered in the corners of my eyes as my mouth twitched.I wanted to tell him yes. However, Scott suddenly said, "There is still one more obstacle between us, though, Adrianna. It's Terry."For the sake of his sister, he'll never let us be together. Moreover, don't you also want revenge? Once we topple the Finnen Family, we can finally be together."He shoved a USB flash drive in my hand."He wants you to be with him, right? Good. Go to him and copy all of the company secrets stored within his personal computer."I froze. As I stared at the face I knew well, my mind was blank.Just a moment ago, he claimed he wou
