Revenge Becomes Her CHAPTER 70 - A Visit from the Detective
The sound of a phone notification resonates in the quiet sterile of the hospital's private ward. *$150k received from an unknown sender.* Transaction message: “May we never meet again.”The mystery woman sneered at the message, “For $150k those scums of the Earth violated her.” She muttered as she turned off the phone and handed it to her son.“Should we go to the police, Mother?” he asks, placing the phone in his pocket.The woman laughs, “Police? For what? Our retribution does not involve the use of the law.” She stops walking and turns to him, “You must remember, Nathan, violence is short-lived. Pain fades away, bruises heal, and the law will take time. Time in prison is too nice for a payback. Revenge should be permanent, and for that, we need patience.” Nathan lowered his head, “How sure are you she’ll survive? And by some miracle that she does, how certain are you she’ll help us against our common enemies?” he asked.“Because they broke her… There’s nothing else keeping her al

In Newark Police Department.Detective Scott ushered Ethan inside the interrogation room. The detective left him alone as another set of new evidence was sent to him by the crime lab.Meanwhile, Ethan quietly sat in a metal chair in front of a wooden table in a dimly lit room. The two-way mirror on his left side. The situation brought back memories of when he let Sherah spend the night in NYPD–the difference he’s on the other side and Sherah is not watching him through the two-way mirror. But he actually wishes she had been there laughing at him with her over-the-top cackles. The sound of footsteps shattered his thoughts.Shortly, Detective Amadeus Scott pushed open the door, breaking the eerie silence in the room. He needed to interrogate Ethan before his lawyer arrived, and with the evidence with him, he knew he could break the cold, aloof CEO of New York.“Apologies for the wait, Mr. Farwell. The DNA results of the victim just arrived at my desk," he says as he walks towards th

For the last five years, laughter has echoed in the Farwell mansion and tonight is no different.At the center of the room, Sherah and Ethan Farwell, a perfect couple in the eyes of many, moved in perfect harmony. The delicate sound of classical music filled the air, the melody weaving a spell that seemed to halt time itself. Sherah, the lady of the house, was radiant in her white silk pajamas, the fabric shimmering in the chandelier’s glow with each graceful turn. Her husband, Ethan, looks dashing, with his perfect smile, brown eyes, and dark brown hair, clad in a tailored suit that emphasizes his strong frame. He held her close. His movements were fluid, his touch tender yet confident.Their eyes met, and the world beyond the mansion faded into insignificance. Ethan’s hand rested lightly on Sherah's back, guiding her effortlessly across the floor. Her fingers curled around his shoulder, their connection intimate and unspoken.Though their dance seemed choreographed by years of pra

Sherah almost stumbled to the floor when Ethan said, "She wants to, but I don't..." He uttered with certainty. James' brows furrowed in confusion, "Does she know about this?""No. She thought I was up for it. She didn’t know that I made sure she wouldn't carry my child. I paid a doctor to prescribe strong contraceptives to her. I told her it's vitamins to help us conceive," he explains proudly.James felt sick in his stomach. "You're a terrible person. It's because of Sophia again, isn't it? She left you broken when you needed her the most; have you forgotten that?" he pointed out."Yeah, she did, but we spoke about it when we met in Australia. She told me why she left. She said she was sick and didn't want to hinder my success.“—And you believe her?” James intervenes. He is clearly not pleased with his friend's choices.Ethan nodded vigorously, “Yes. I do. I should have waited for her instead of using her sister to spite her." He answered in disappointment.James shook his head in

James’s heart pounded loudly on his chest. At the same time, Sherah clenches the hem of her dress tightly and pretends to be oblivious.She lets out a faint smile that doesn’t reach her eyes. "Good afternoon, Mr. Lee. Is Ethan inside?" She asks as she shoves all the things she hears in the depths of her mind.James grinned awkwardly, "What's with calling me Mister? James would suffice." He then nods in guilt. “Yes, he is. I think you arrived just in time. He said he was starving... He's so hungry that he starts talking nonsense,” he added playfully while staring at the lunchbox in her hand. "Poor woman," he uttered to himself.She bowed her head, hiding the ache in her heart, and headed to Ethan’s office.When she got inside, she displayed her best smile as if she heard nothing.But deep inside, her mind was in chaos. Her mind is racing. Everything she knew about him went down the drain. Like a shattered mirage that kept her blind for 5 years.“I’m a stand-in.”"He never loved me?"

As Ethan ate a spoonful of the lunch Sherah had prepared, he couldn’t help but recollect James’ comments.~How do you think she would react? She loves you dearly, Ethan. All these years she thought you felt the same.~The memory made it hard for him to swallow his meal. He soon realizes that in the near future, he won’t get to eat any of her food.He almost choked when he recollected her weird behavior, and as he thought deeply he could no longer brush it off.She always greets him with a kiss when she sees him, and before leaving, she even sits on his lap while reading documents on his table—earlier she did none of that. He bit his lower lip, “Did she hear the conversation I had with James?” He contemplated and felt a sore spot in his chest. He shook his head, trying to remove the idea from his mind, “If she did. She’ll be mad for sure.” Ethan knows that Sherah always speaks her mind when she’s happy or sad, especially when she's mad. During their five years of marriage, Sherah alwa

After hours of being monitored for any concussion, Sherah was released from the hospital.At the same time, Ethan had just arrived in Australia. Sherah wanted to call her husband to tell him she was released, but she knew she would only be a nuisance to him. She can’t help but feel the harsh reality of overstaying her welcome.With that, she swallowed the gnawing feeling in her chest, signed her release forms, and processed everything on her own. She felt the weight of Ethan’s betrayal, but she couldn’t do anything but shove everything into the depths of her mind and wait it out.Mindlessly, she entered the elevator and soon encountered Eliot on his way to check on her.Eliot’s eyes lit up upon seeing her, but it was soon changed to concern when he saw the sadness in her eyes. He cleared his throat and plastered a friendly smile, “Good god, I got hold of you.” He uttered it politely.She gasped in surprise. Her hand shook slightly, “Why? Is there something wrong?” She asks casually

Ethan’s words rang harshly in Sherah’s ears, “I don’t think our marriage is working well, Sherah,” Ethan muttered in a low voice. Despite that, she felt a heavy punch in her stomach.She gasped, she was aware it would happen, but it still hurt so badly that she felt his words slap her hard.Before she could react, a maid announced Rosalie Farwell— Ethan’s grandmother’s arrival at the mansion.Hearing that and the situation they were in, Ethan hurriedly got up and held Sherah by the arm tightly, and she winced in pain.He then whispered in her ear, “Don’t tell grandma.” His voice was cold, distant, and threatening, far from the husband she had known for five years.It was the first time he held her with such force and spoke to her in such a tone.For the first time, she was frightened to stand near him, and there was a voice inside her head repeating Eliot’s words. ~Someone might want you dead.~She felt a cold bucket of water thrown at her. She glances at him in suspicion and nods unh

Revenge Becomes Her CHAPTER 69 - “It's always the spouse.”
Brooke drove Ethan to the Farwell Villa, even though the latter had specifically asked to be dropped off at Farwell Group.He could see the desperation in Ethan’s eyes—the bottled-up frustration, the stress, the torment etched into every movement.Finally, Brooke spoke. “I know I’m a nobody to tell you this, but as someone who knew your parents... I don’t want to see you like this. You need to rest,” he urged. “Surround yourself with friends.” It was Brooke’s way of bracing Ethan for what was coming.“I’ll handle everything from here. I know how to deal with the police—I understand their protocol and process,” he added confidently.But Ethan couldn’t let it go.“It’s NOT her...” he said, letting the words hang in the air like a lifeline he refused to cut.Brooke ignored the comment. “I heard from my sources that Noel had arrived in Newark with Sherah’s belongings. We’ll know more tomorrow.”Ethan turned toward him again.“It’s NOT her,” he repeated—this time not just a statement, but a
Revenge Becomes Her CHAPTER 68 - The Third Day
Later that day...Sophia smirked as she stared at the photo Roy sent. “This is what you get for existing,” she says as she parks her car and enters the Hawke Residence.“Back already,” Rebecca muttered warmly with open arms.Sophia rolled her eyes and breathed deeply. “Ethan doesn’t want to see me," she explained in exasperation.Rebecca can sense her annoyance, but there’s more to it. There were no tantrums and it made Rebecca feel weird. She glanced at her daughter with bewilderment and Sophia gave her mother an eerie smile.Then she showed her the photo Roy had photographed for her. “Money well spent," she said mockingly. “Oh my god,” Rebecca uttered in disgust. “Is she…”“Yes… Alive.” Sophia confirmed proudly, “No anesthesia when they remove the baby.” Rebecca glanced away and then smirked while crossing her arms. “You need to delete that. If someone sees it—”“See what?” Silas asks while walking down the stairwell. There are still bruises on his lip and forehead.“Sherah,” Sop
Revenge Becomes Her CHAPTER 67 - Day 3: End of Unbearable Pain (Triggering)
In the cabin…Sherah lay naked and badly beaten on the mattress, her limbs tightly bound to the bedframe.The rope marks on her skin are visible—bleeding, bruised, sticking on her flesh as if they were part of her. She can’t remember when they stopped violating her or when they moved her from the living room to the bed, as she had mentally shut down after they forcefully and painfully took her baby out of her and until now, she couldn’t believe what had happened. She wishes it was all a dream, but as she stares at the table across the room the mocking reality is haunting, vile, and straight up from a psychopath's playbook.A jar sat nearby, her unborn child suspended in the murky water, floating as if it were nothing more than a rotten potato.The vision of the simple life she has in her mind is completely destroyed. Her child is gone and she will die soon. "At least in death we'll be together," she mumbled under her breath.She can't help but curse the situation she's in. She's goin
Revenge Becomes Her CHAPTER 66 - Day 2: Monsters (Triggering)
In the Farwell Villa…Ethan sat on his bed and stroked the side of the mattress where Sherah had slept—her warmth was long gone.“Where are you?” He mumbled in desperation as he lay on the bed and started sniffing the sheets, taking all the scent she had left. “Come back to me.” He added pleadingly.Shortly, a knocking sound pulled him out of his thoughts.“It’s open,” he yelled.Sebastian entered and hurriedly mentioned, “Sir, Miss Hawke is in the living room waiting for you. She brought cake and wine because you skipped celebrating your birthday properly,” he explained enthusiastically. Ethan stared at him with indifference. Sebastian took it as a sign to continue speaking. “Isn’t Miss Hawke thoughtful? After what had happened at the party and the mocking criticism she received from the local press, she came here to continue the celebration,” he added.“Tell her to leave,” Ethan uttered in a cold, indifferent tone. Sebastian's eyes widen in surprise. “W... Why?” he asks.Ethan lif
Revenge Becomes Her CHAPTER 65 - Day 1 (Triggering)
Ethan hurriedly drove back home. Planning to talk to his neighbors and ask them if their cameras caught something, anything that might show when Sherah had left and where she headed. As he enters the Farwell Villa, he notices one of his neighbor's cameras is pointed directly to his driveway.He parked his car at the roadside and walked to the villa across the street. It was his first time speaking to any neighbor—the Morrisons are an elderly couple whom Sherah has always envied. Despite being in their 80s, they act like a newly married couple—constantly walking hand in hand and staying close to one another.Ethan vividly remembered Sherah saying, “I hope we grow old like them.”He used to laugh it out as he couldn’t imagine growing old with Sherah, but now… All he could think of was her… A happy beautiful married life with kids, and he could no longer envision a life without her. He pressed the doorbell and soon the voice of an old woman echoed in the intercom.“How can I help you de
Revenge Becomes Her CHAPTER 64 - Days in Hell (Triggering)
Ethan, Eliot, and Harlene dialed everyone they knew to look for Sherah and there was one common question all the investigators asked. *When did you last see her?*Ethan, the last person she was with, was advised to check all the camera footage in and around the Farwell Villa so that the private investigator could create a timeline of her movements.Ethan agreed and hurriedly dialed the villa's guard to ask him to look at the camera. To his utmost dismay, the cameras were turned off that night for system maintenance. "I'm sorry, Sir. We don't have any footage for the last 24 hours." The guard uttered.Ethan disconnected the call without responding, “Shit!” he yelled in annoyance.Harlene and Eliot glance at each other, unsure how to deal with Ethan. They are uncertain what is safe to say around him, as the couple knows Sherah has been keeping her distance from him. Despite that, the couple could clearly see that Ethan’s concern for Sherah was genuine, and her disappearance without say
Revenge Becomes Her CHAPTER 63 - Three Days (Triggering)
Ethan and Eliot sat quietly in the living room.Ethan held his busted lip while staring at the scarf and pair of female gloves on the table beside a brown paper bag with the name ~Harlene~ written in Sherah's handwriting.Soon Harlene joined them. Her hair is still dripping wet from taking a shower. “What the fuck is happening here?” She asked the two men.Ethan lowered his head. He can’t look at her directly after almost seeing her naked. He turns his head to Eliot. “You have a girlfriend, and you're acting too friendly with my wife,” he accused.Eliot crossed his arms, “Soon to be ex-wife.” He corrected him. “And for your information… Sherah and I are just friends and this woman who deserves an apology is my fiancée.” He said with a stern voice.Harlene’s face blushed. This is the first time Eliot calls her his fiancée. She nods in agreement. “I can confirm they are only friends, and I’m friends with her too.” She chimed in. Ethan heaves deeply, then a light smile escapes his lip
