CHAPTER 81 - The Pieces...

Author: Latton Ripley
last update Last Updated: 2025-04-18 01:54:23
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 82 - 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 first

    Two more years had passed after Sherah’s alleged death.Ethan never received another piece of news about her case.Even with all the resources he poured in, the relentless hours Brooke committed, and the efforts of the Newark Police, it all came to nothing. The investigation had gone completely cold.No updates. No new witnesses. No sightings of the suspects. No chatter from any state department. Nothing.As if the suspects had fallen off the face of the earth.With no other options left, Ethan was forced to confront the harshest reality of all — that his wife and their unborn child would never see justice.---Meanwhile, the Hawkes continued their lives without guilt or consequence. They breathed freely, laughed, and lived as though their hands were clean.Silas’s paternal guilt faded the moment wealth and new opportunities came knocking. Whatever remorse he once had for his eldest daughter disappeared into luxury and status.Rebecca did what she did best—spoiled Sophia rotten

    Nathan ran out, scanning the area as he weaved through guests and staff in disarray. He finally spotted her in the parking lot, waiting in the passenger seat of the car, her face pale under the dim lights.He rushed to her side and opened the door."What happened? Did Ethan catch you?" he asked, breathless.She slowly shook her head."No." Her voice was faint. She didn’t look at him.Nathan’s face softened. "I thought something bad had happened to you." He extended his hand and gently caressed her face."My head hurts," she murmured, pressing her fingers to her temple.He knelt beside her and gently pulled her into his arms. Her body felt cold, like she’d been holding her breath the entire time."Come on," he said softly. "Let’s go home… and watch how this disaster unfolds."He smiled as he closed the car door, casting one last glance at the chaos behind them."They’ll be talking about this for weeks or even months." He said proudly.As Nathan drove away from the chaos, Fallon leaned h

    The Next Day...Ethan began his morning buried in paperwork, reviewing proposals for the upcoming bidding. The Farwell Group was searching for a company capable of creating unique software for their newest TV model—something cutting-edge yet cost-effective. The decision carried significant weight; the chosen vendor would receive a massive downpayment, which made Ethan adamant about strict qualifications. The company needed to be well-established with at least four years of clean financial standing. As he skimmed through each folder, some proposals were immediately discarded—too risky, too young, or too ambitious with nothing to back it up. By the time he finished the initial screening, a large portion of the submissions lay crumpled in the bin. Still, a sense of satisfaction settled over him. It had been a productive day.

    On a deserted road, one hour outside of New York City.A black van entered a vacant plot of land. Inside the vehicle were two people wearing pure black clothing and matching caps and face masks to hide their faces. Nathan, in the driver’s seat, vibed to music playing softly on the radio while Fallon, seated in the front passenger seat, stared out the window, fixated on the stars. Nathan noticed it.“Are you into constellations?” he asked while glancing at her discreetly.“No,” Fallon replied flatly.Nathan gestured upward. “That one’s Orion,” he said, pointing toward a cluster of stars.“Orion.” The word stirred something inside her, faint, nostalgic—but she couldn’t place it.“It means ‘THE HUNTER, ’” he added as his face turned serious. He then grinned devilishly. “Shall we begin Phase Two?” He asked, changing the topic and shifting the mood inside the car to something malevolent. Soon, the van rolled to a stop. At the end of the road was an abandoned rice mill. They stepped out of

The air buzzed with quiet music and low conversation.“Tomorrow will be the fourth year of Sherah and Sean's death. I think it’s time you started dating again,” Allan suggested, breaking the awkward silence. Ethan shot him a cold look—the kind that could stop a heart.Allan quickly backed off, raised his hands in surrender, but added carefully, “Man, you need to get yourself out there. I don’t think Sher would mind. She wanted you to be happy, remember?” His eyes darted towards James, silently begging for backup.Ethan nearly choked on his beer.James glanced away, letting Allan dig his own grave. “I don’t want to be part of this.” He murmured to himself as he quietly took a sip of his drink. “What about Sophia?” Allan asked curiously."What about her?"

    “Do you know, Nathan… one of them called my child a naked mole rat after yanking my baby out of me,” Fallon muttered, seated before the vanity mirror.Nathan walked up behind her and nuzzled her neck.“What they said doesn’t matter now, does it?”She smiled eerily, staring blankly at her reflection.“No. Their voices are starting to fade. Like their lives hang in the balance… wishing I’ll have mercy and finally let them die. But still, the memories— they follow me like shadows.”He noticed how vacant her gaze had become, how lost she looked.“By the way, Mother called. She has already sent the package you forgot to bring,” he said, smoothly shifting the topic, grounding her back to their mission.Her lips curled with renewed determination.“I need to call her and thank her,” she murmured, cupping Nathan’s cheek as he rested his head on her shoulder.“No need,” he whispered gently, kissing her neck.“Just focus on winning Madam Farwell's favor for us...

    Thirty minutes had gone by, and Nathan Kingsley was still nowhere to be seen.Nathan’s carefree, happy-go-lucky attitude infuriated Ethan. The man had confirmed his attendance a month ago and reconfirmed the time and place just 24 hours earlier.These seats weren’t ceremonial—they were crucial. The bidding event was one of the most significant deals in Farwell Group's recent history.Had Nathan declined in advance, the next largest investor would've taken his seat. At events like this, there was a strict protocol to follow: the President or Vice President must be present, along with the top six investors. Together, they represented over 40–55% of the company's total shares, ensuring that decisions weren’t made unilaterally.Ethan himself held an 18% share, followed by others holding 10%, 9%, 8%, 5%, and so on.At precisely 3:05 PM, Ethan had already welcomed everyone. The first presenter had just risen to speak when the door opened, stealing everyone's attention.In walked Nathan.He w

    Madam Farwell had been unsettled by Fallon Kingsley’s sudden presence in her life. There was a powerful, inexplicable urge to keep the young woman close. Her maternal instincts screamed to protect Fallon—yet she couldn’t understand why.The thought gnawed at her mind, making it nearly impossible to focus on her day-to-day routines. At one point, she found herself standing motionless in her room, unsure of what she was even supposed to be doing.Her gaze drifted to the framed photo on her dresser—A photo of her, Ethan, and Sherah on the young couple's wedding day.Sherah was wearing an elegant white dress. She was all smiles, while Ethan looked unsure why he was there.“Stupid boy,” the Madam scoffed.And then, suddenly, the mystery unraveled."It was the eyes." She mumbled to herself as she stared at Sherah's eyes intensely.Fallon’s eyes were almost identical to Sherah’s—but colder. Hardened. As if they had seen something unspeakably horrific. A woman who had not just endured grief…

    “Don’t tell her about the extent of her injuries.” Rebecca strictly demanded to all the doctors and nurses, and instead of urging the police to solve the crime committed against her daughter, she paid a hefty amount for them to hush it out.To let it vanish among the mountain of unsolved assault cases.Weeks passed, and Sophia returned home, oblivious to the truth. She knew she’d bled, but assumed it was menstrual blood mingled with the mystery woman’s brutality.No one had told her otherwise, and she never asked. All she remembered was being bound and gagged, struck again and again, her face and the inside of her mouth cut to ribbons.But tonight is different. Tonight, memories pour in like an unforgiving flood.She went to bed early, trying to sleep off the exhaustion and disappointment, knowing that the cut on her forehead would never heal.
