In Perth, Australia

Rebecca scoffed while staring at herself in the mirror, intently examining every fine line on her face with disgust. “I told you, you shouldn’t have let Ethan return home to that pathetic excuse of a woman.”

Silas glanced at his wife and then smirked as he continued reading the newspaper. “He is a businessman, Dear. He needs to take care of business for Sophia’s future.” He explains.

Rebecca sneered, “I just want him to be here, so Sophia can ask him to accompany us to the spa and get these awful wrinkles treated for free. These horrendous things I got from the anxiety of that acci—”

Sophia slammed her fist on the table.

Startling both her parents in the process.

Instead of apologizing, she crossed her arms, “Let’s not talk about the incident. Ethan already took care of it, and we should forget about it, Mom. What’s important is to make sure Ethan will board the plane today,” she exclaimed with an eerie grin on her lips.

BACK in Farwell mansion…

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 11 - Silence

    It's 7 in the evening, and Ethan is waiting for his driver in the office to pick him up.This time, he was waiting alone. Not even a call from Sherah to check where he was or ask if he had eaten.Her silence and lack of concern annoyed him.He took his phone out and sent her a message, ~Waiting for the driver.~He stared at his phone, waiting patiently for her reply, but none came. He felt stupefied as Sherah always replied to his messages swiftly. He grew impatient. After waiting several minutes, he dialed her number. It rang, but she didn’t answer.Sherah, at that time, was busy putting all her clothes and belongings inside the boxes and didn’t notice her phone buzzing relentlessly.Meanwhile, Ethan felt disrespected and seemed to be at his wit's end, “What’s stopping her from answering my calls?” He said to himself as he tightened the grip on his phone.Then, a horrendous idea entered his mind. “Is she with Eliot? That’s why it's okay with her for me to leave?” He uttered in disdai

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 12 - How Ethan met Sherah (Flashback)

    More than five years ago…Ethan invited his childhood sweetheart, Sophia, for an intimate dinner date. At first, everything was going well. They talked, laughed, and held each other's hands with eyes fixed on each other.The time couldn't be more perfect to ask her to be his girlfriend. Suddenly, she excused herself to go to the restroom but never returned.No explanation. No text message that she left. Ethan was left in the restaurant for hours like a fool. He tried calling her, but her phone was switched off.He drove to the Hawke Residence. His heart was on his sleeve, ready to give Sophia everything he could, but he was greeted by Silas and Rebecca's cluelessness about their daughter's whereabouts.From that day on, Ethan never stopped looking for her.He drove around the city, searching for the love of his life, but she was nowhere to be found. The reason for her sudden disappearance remained a mystery.From love and guilt to hatred, he had been trapped in a whirlwind of emotions

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 13 - Playful Banter 1/2 (Flashback)

    Sherah ran, her breath coming in sharp, labored gasps. She only stopped when she saw Ethan’s car pass by, fear gripping her at the thought that he might be searching for her. She couldn’t deny that his car looked expensive—far beyond anything she could ever afford. But with the financial trouble she was already drowning in, the last thing she needed was another problem. On top of that, she had just lost her job at the diner. After ten minutes of walking, she arrived home. The building was dingy and worn down, a place with tiny apartments stacked on every floor, showing signs of years of neglect. It wasn’t much, but it was all she could afford after being thrown out of the Hawke residence two years ago. She remembered that day vividly. Her father, Silas, had just been declared healthy, no longer in need of her bone marrow and blood. No longer in need of her, and that was all it took to be pushed out of their lives. It had been raining when Rebecca and Sophia tossed her belong

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 14 - Playful Banter 2/2 (Flash Back)

    Ethan extended his arm and demanded, “Hand me your phone and ID.” Sherah stared at him, confused. "Why?" She questioned.He didn't respond and gestured impatiently, urging her to comply. Panic-stricken, she fumbled through her pocket and, with trembling hands, handed over her belongings. Ethan took her phone first, dialed his own number, and let it ring before handing it back. "Save my number," he instructed dominantly.Then, he glanced at her ID—and his hand froze. His eyes locked onto the name printed on it:~Sherah Agatha… Hawke.~ He mumbled the name under his breath. "Hawke?"His mind raced back to what she had said earlier: "My sister threw it out." "Her sister? He looked at her again. She did bear a resemblance to Sophia. But if she was truly from the affluent Hawke family, why was she living like this? Why would Silas and Rebecca let their other daughter struggle in poverty?"He quickly dismissed the thought. "Impossible. If she were really part of Sophia's family, sh

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 15 - Spawn of Satan (Flash Back)

    At eight o’clock in the morning, Ethan was already in his office, staring at the towering stack of documents that needed to be completed by the end of the day. Most of them had been delayed due to his absence—days spent searching for Sophia. While his secretary, Noel heaved a sigh of relief to see his boss back at work and promptly greeted him upon entering. “Good morning, sir! Would you like some coffee?” Ethan barely looked up but gave a small nod of approval. Noel left the office and quickly prepared his coffee. As CEO of a leading tech company that was currently in a delicate state, Ethan needed to step up and prioritize his work rather than continue looking for Sophia. He needs to solidify his position and make a name for himself in the industry. With the position he is in there were numerous interview requests from major magazines, eager to learn about his personal life—his dating status, his thoughts on settling down—he had always declined. The entire afternoon was fill

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 16 - Pizzaria (Flashback)

    Days passed, and Ethan kept ordering pizza from FS Pizzaria, hoping Sherah would be the one to deliver it. But to his utter disappointment, it was always someone else. He thought about visiting her, just to check in—and, of course, to annoy her. But work kept him busy, and there was never enough time to drop by her workplace. Meanwhile, Sherah enjoyed the unexpected peace. No texts, no calls from the man she calls spawn of Satan or sometimes Satan himself. Just silence. After working 18-hour shifts across multiple part-time jobs, she had finally scraped together enough to pay her rent. At the same time… Ethan had just wrapped up his last meeting of the day. Every delayed project and pending proposal had been handled, leaving him with nothing urgent on his plate. Then he remembered—it was the finance team’s final day of overtime. With nothing better to do, he decided to pay them another visit. When he arrived, the department looked completely different. The chaos from la

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 17 - Silas Hawke (Flashback)

    Days after paying her rent, Sherah was stitching her maid's costume.She can't help but feel annoyed, "That man." She mumbled through gritted teeth. Her sulking was abruptly interrupted by a text from her landlord demanding an additional month’s advance payment and one month’s deposit.Fuming, she immediately fired back, calling him a money-hungry liar who didn’t keep his word. Their argument escalated quickly, with the landlord warning her that if she kept insulting him, she’d soon find her belongings thrown out on the street.Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down and agreed to pay—but she needed more time.The landlord’s response was cold and merciless: “You have ten days.” As if that wasn’t enough, another message popped up.This time, it was from 'Satan.'Ethan was reminding her about the car paint.Sherah stared at her phone, overwhelmed. She had been working 14-hour shifts for the past three days, but it still wasn’t enough as a first installment. Not even clos

    Silas messaged his wife, Rebecca to give her a heads-up, about the situation at hand, and within minutes, they were already formulating a plan to send Sherah out of the country.Once the details were set, Silas turned his attention back to the unconscious girl beside him. With a few light slaps to her cheeks, he woke her up just as the car entered the Hawke Residence.At the front door, Rebecca stood waiting.Her sharp gaze was filled with disdain as she looked down at Sherah, who kept her head lowered, and remained silent.Even after Silas and Rebecca entered the house, Sherah remained standing at the doorstep.Sherah’s hands trembled with dread. She never imagined she would return to this place—not after everything that had happened.All the abuse she endured, all the pain she suffered, just to earn a place in her father’s life.Because he was the only family she had.Her mother had taken her own life when Sherah was just three years old, leaving her to grow up in an orphanage.At tw

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 81 - Broken Minds

    After Ethan’s meltdown, Madam Farwell hired the best psychologist for him. With the help of therapy—and a long, painful journey inward—Ethan finally found the strength to let go of the urn.It didn’t happen in a single session. There were months of silence, of clenched fists and deflected questions. But eventually, the mask cracked, and behind it was a man exhausted by grief, haunted by memories, and yearning for peace.His therapist didn’t push him. Instead, they guided him gently, helping him unpack the guilt that festered like rot beneath his skin. It took time, but Ethan began to realize that clinging to the urn wasn’t keeping Sherah and Sean close—it was keeping him stuck at the moment they were taken from him.One quiet afternoon, with trembling hands and a heavy heart, Ethan made the decision.He bought a plot of land in the cemetery—a quiet, sun-dappled space beneath a cluster of trees. A place Sherah would’ve loved for picnics. A place where their son might’ve taken his firs

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 81 - The Pieces...

    After four long months of solitude, with Madam Farwell’s persistent persuasion, Ethan finally stepped out of his room.He looked smaller, colder, and shattered beyond recognition.With the help of James and Allan, he returned to the Farwell Group to face the mountain of pending tasks no one else dared to touch. His secretary, Noel, had handled what he could, but some decisions only Ethan could make.Ethan tried his best to act like everything was normal, if only to escape the concerned, pitiful gazes of his grandmother, his friends, and his employees.But he hadn’t come back just to stabilize the company—he came back to make it thrive. To take it to heights, Sherah would’ve been proud of. He buried himself in work, attended charity events, and showed up at galas he once dreamed of attending with her. But despite all his efforts, the void remained—widening, deepening, threatening to pull him under. And some days… he wanted it to.Still, his grandmother was right—he had to live the life

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 80 - Rabbit Hole

    Ethan stood tall in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, the golden urn clutched tightly in his hands. He stared at his reflection—but all he could see was loss.His eyes were hollow, sunken with sleepless nights. His once-pristine hair now hung in disheveled strands, lips cracked and dry, and a rough shadow of stubble darkened his jaw. He looked nothing like the man he used to be. He looked like a ghost. An empty shell. He knew he was already holding what was left of her—what remained of Sherah. Their child. The future he failed to protect in his arms. And yet, he found himself there, searching, digging through the emptiness of their old room like some part of her might’ve stayed behind.But she hadn’t. She took everything with her when she left. Every clothing, every photo, every trace of her scent. Gone.The air felt colder now, heavier. As if even the warmth of memory had turned its back on him.He wanted to die. He wanted to join Sherah and their unborn child,

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 79 - It's always the plan

    The rain dwindled.The howling wind had finally stilled, and gentle rays of sunlight began piercing through the once-dark clouds, casting a warm hue over the wet roads.The Hawke family was still on their journey back home when Rebecca’s phone buzzed with a message. She opened it without thinking, eyes scanning the screen quickly—then freezing.Her hand trembled and it didn't go unnoticed. “What is it, Mom?” Sophia asks while fixing her makeup.Rebecca didn’t respond but handed her phone to Sophia.“Shit!” She muttered.Silas leaned over to read the message.~Amadeus Scott, Newark Police Department Detective.~“Didn’t you take care of the loose ends?” he asks. Sophia turned her head to look at the car. “I did. I paid them, and they never asked for more,” she pointed out as uneasiness crawled into her skin. “Maybe he is just passing by?” Rebecca claimed.Silas knew this was not the case. He sighs deeply and pinches the bridge of his nose, the pent-up annoyance slowly spilling out. He

    As the rain mellowed, the guests, one by one, left the villa.Grandma, exhausted from everything, talked to James and Allan to continue entertaining the guests who were still in the villa while she rested upstairs. The two men gladly agreed.Before Grandma left the living room, Eliot and Harlene stood up and spoke to bid her goodbye and once again give their condolences.Madam Farwell smiled at them. "Aren't you Anders Carlisle's son?" She asked curiously. Eliot nods. “And this is my fiancée, Harlene Campbell. We are Sherah's friends."“Really?” Madam Farwell expressed in disbelief, then smiled faintly, “I’m glad you could come. I never thought this day would come that Ethan would let a Carlisle inside his home.” She mumbled with exhaustion in her voice. Eliot bowed his head while Harlene gave a faint smile as they headed to the door when suddenly Dahlia ran towards them and handed Eliot a small paper bag. “The young master said this belongs to you.”He opened it and saw the gloves S

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 77 - “Teach your daughter some manners.” 

    The Farwell Villa living room was hushed, steeped in mourning. It began to rain as if the world was in sync with Ethan’s sorrow. Simple drizzle became something stronger as if the gods were in a rage. The wild wind howled forcefully, pushing the windows and doors to open. The servants hurriedly check every door and window in the villa, ensuring that the rainwater won’t damage anything. The wind kept whistling, almost drowning the mourner's sobs and small talks about how they met the deceased. Amid everything, Ethan remained seated near the urn. His face expressed grief, and the dark circles in his eyes showed that sleep had eluded him. Aside from that, there was something dangerous in his eyes—something that only a man who had lost everything could understand—a taste for blood. The urge to hunt down the people who did it. As Ethan’s thoughts flew somewhere else.Farwell Group employees, stakeholders, and investors arrived to give their condolences. Despite that, none of them wan

    Somewhere in Canada…Nathan sat comfortably on the chair near the bedside, book in hand, and seemed bored out of his mind. His mother specifically ordered him to watch over Sherah and never leave her side. “And they live happily ever after…” he expressed in an unimpressed tone as he read the ending of Cinderella out loud and then closed the book forcefully.Aside from his voice and the buzzing and occasional beeping sound of the machine, everything is silent, and it's driving him insane. He bit his lower lip, “Might as well put me inside a mental ward.” He mumbled as he glanced around the sterile white room.He inched close to Sherah, who was in a coma. “Hey!” he whispered in her ear. “You already woke up days ago. Why did you sleep again?” he asks playfully. Beneath the thick bandages, he noticed her eyelashes fluttering. He smiled, “They say coma patients can hear.” He stated as he held her cold hand. “Let me tell you something… You need to wake up as soon as possible because if

    Days passed, and as Sophia expected, Sebastian dodged the police.Sophia smiled from ear to ear while staring at her reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the luxury boutique fitting area. “He didn’t even try to clear his name and accuse me of orchestrating everything,” she mumbled under her breath with a glimmer of satisfaction and pride while she happily tried on different expensive clothes.She was planning to purchase the most daring colorful dress she could find. Without a care in the world that her actions are inappropriate—but why would she care if she was the person who planned it? Now that the biggest obstacle is gone, she is scheming to win Ethan back, and she is going all out. As she got out of the fitting room, she tossed the clothes to the sales clerk stationed in the lounge.“I hate everything. The designs look outdated.” She snarled.The sales clerk nodded and hastily left to get a new set of wardrobes Sophia could try.While waiting, she sat in the lounge area

    Dahlia hurriedly returned to the living room. “Sir, Sebastian’s not in his room,” she announced.“He is not in the kitchen,” Johanna chimed in.Jon, who was breathing heavily, blurted out, “He is not in the garden either.” Ethan’s face contorted in rage, and he ran to Sebastian's room.Allan and James trailing behind him. Ethan rummages through the cabinets; most of his things are still inside, but his documents are gone.“He ran off. God knows where! ” Ethan clamored.James took out his phone. “I’m going to notify the police about this and make sure they’ll put out a BOLO for Sebastian,” he muttered in urgency. “Not good enough,” Ethan mumbled, then gestured to Allan, “You have connections with different news outlets. Put it on the news, and put a 1 million reward on whoever could find him.” He demanded.Allan nodded, and he too began dialing different numbers on his phone. Then Ethan decided to call Brooke for additional help. It's a hard reality to swallow, but he needs to get h
