Retribution in Bloom Chapter 28 Be Mine
"It's nothing." I continued to eat with a blank look on my face.After I had my fill, I pushed my empty bowl away and looked at Terry with an arched brow. "Just what do you want, Terry? Is this fun? Whether you want to kill me or dismember me, be quick!"Terry bitterly smiled. "Adrianna, can you not act like a hedgehog?"I remained silent.However, the look in my eyes made my feelings clear. They were cold and glinted with a mocking and scornful light as I scrutinized him.There was a helpless look on his face as he got up and grabbed the empty bowls. "Get some rest. I'll wash up."My brows were twisted in a deep frown as I stared at his back.Doubt filled my mind. Just what was Terry up to? Did he hit his head?Just then, his phone buzzed from where he had left it on the table.When the phone lit up, I glanced at the display and saw the caller ID to be "Michele".A call from Michele? I smirked in derision once more.I grabbed the phone and lazily answered it. "What do you w
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 29 Terry Slaps His Sister
Terry's cool lips gently brushed my forehead. It was a brief, restrained gesture, like a passing breeze, and then he pulled away."Adrianna, don't push me away. I'll prove to you through my actions that I'm serious." His deep, soothing voice carried warmth as he locked eyes with me.My heart began to race. An unfamiliar emotion swept through me, impossible to ignore. I had been alone for so long, drifting like a leaf in the wind. No one, aside from my son, had ever made me feel pure, untainted affection.It made me want more, but I didn't dare to accept it."Terry, if you're determined to go mad, do it without me. I don't have time for your games." I shook his hand off harshly and turned, fleeing as fast as I could."Get some rest!" His low, rich voice followed me, even as I slammed the bedroom door shut behind me with a loud thud.…Downstairs, Scott leaned casually against his luxury car, eyes fixed on the window of my fifth-floor apartment. He pulled out a cigarette and placed
Retribution in Bloom Chapter 30 Surprise Guest
With a sigh, Terry looked at me apologetically. "I'm sorry, Adrianna. Let me apologize on Michele's behalf."I examined him with conflicting emotions warring in me. Finally, I gently shook my head. "Everyone is accountable for their own actions. This has nothing to do with you. Terry, you should leave. Go home and sort out your family matters.""Okay. I'll resolve this. I'll never let Michele hurt you again." Terry nodded. "Adrianna, I'll be back later."With everyone gone, silence fell once more in the tiny rental unit. I turned around and let myself flop onto the couch. My mind was a chaotic mess. Just then, someone knocked on the door. I froze. Did I not tell Terry to go home? Why was he back? "Why are you..."I was in the middle of opening the door when something flashed across my vision. Before I could even finish my question, a black figure had darted into my house. I was caught off guard. A pair of large palms grabbed my waist as my lips were sealed. My breathi
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
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 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 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 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 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
