The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 18
As the evening sun cast a warm glow over the city, Lucas and Mino walked into the VIP room of a luxurious restaurant, surrounded by their friends. The room was filled with the sound of laughter and clinking glasses, as the group of friends indulged in fine wine and gourmet cuisine.As they took their seats, Lucas's eyes scanned the room, his gaze lingering on the familiar faces of his friends. Mino, on the other hand, seemed more subdued, his eyes fixed on Lucas with a hint of annoyance."So, Lucas, I heard you're friends with Adelaide now," one of their friends said, a mischievous glint in his eye. "What's up with that?"Lucas shrugged, his expression neutral. "We're just friends," he said, his voice devoid of emotion.Mino snorted, his eyes flashing with disapproval. "You're friends with her?" he repeated, his voice laced with disdain. "Lucas, come on. She's friends with Elma, of all people. That's just... wrong."Lucas raised an eyebrow, his gaze meeting Mino's. "What's wrong with

"You think you're so smart, don't you?" the text read. "But you have no idea what's really going on. Meet me at the park at midnight if you want to know the truth."Lucas's eyes narrowed as he read the text. What was Elma playing at? And what did she mean by "the truth"?Despite his reservations, Lucas knew that he had to meet Elma. He had to know what she was

As Adelaide finished getting ready, she turned to Elma with a smile. "Hey, are you coming with me to the party?" she asked, hoping that Elma would say yes.But to her surprise, Elma shook her head. "I'm sorry, Adelaide, but I have something important to take care of at home," she said, her expression apologetic.Adelaide's face fell, and she felt a pang of disappointment. She had been looking forward to having Elma by her side at the party, and now she felt like she was going to be alone.But Elma seemed to sense her disappointment, and she stepped forward to give Adelaide a reassuring hug. "Don't worry, Adelaide," she said. "You'll be fine on your own. You're a strong and confident person, and you can totally handle this party by yourself."Adelaide smiled weakly, feeling a little better. But she still couldn't shake off the feeling of disappointment.Elma seemed to sense her hesitation, and she took Adelaide's hands in hers. "Listen, Adelaide," she said, her eyes locked on Adelaide'

As Mino sat across from Adelaide, sipping his coffee and watching her laugh, he suddenly fell silent. His eyes never left hers, but his mind began to wander back to the events of the previous night.He remembered the way Adelaide had kissed him, the way her lips had felt against his. He had been taken aback by the sudden gesture, but he had to admit that it had sparked something within him.But as he thought back on the events of the night, Mino's mind turned to Lucas. He remembered how Lucas had driven Adelaide home, how he had taken care of her when she was drunk. Mino felt a pang of jealousy, wishing that it had been him who had gotten to hold Adelaide's hand, who had gotten to pull her close and keep her safe.As he sat there, staring at Adelaide, Mino couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Lucas.

As the day of the contest results arrived, Adelaide was bubbling with excitement. She had been posting the photo on all her social media accounts, and had even convinced her friends to share and like it.Mino, on the other hand, was a bit more laid back about the whole thing.

"I just know we're going to win!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement.Mino chuckled and shook his head. "I don't know, Adelaide. We'll just have to wait and see," he said, smiling.When they arrived at the shop, the staff member was holding up a photo of the winning couple.

Thanks for letting me know. I was worried about him."Lucas chuckled. "Don't worry, he's in good hands. So, what are you up to today? Want to grab lunch or something?"Adelaide hesitated for a moment before responding. "Actually, Lucas, I was thinking of doing something else today. But thanks for offering!"Lucas's grin faltered for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "No problem, Adelaide! I'll catch up with you later then. Have fun with...whatever it is you're do

We should have a special wedding song, just for us."Adelaide raised an eyebrow. "What did you have in mind?" she asked, a hint of amusement in her voice.Mino grinned mischievously. "I was thinking of 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston," he said, his voice dripping with drama.Adelaide burst out laughing. "Oh, Mino, that's so cheesy!" she exclaimed, wiping tears from her eyes.Mino looked offended, but then he couldn't help but laugh too. "Hey, it's a classic!" he protested.As they continued to plan their wedding, Adelaide and Mino couldn't help but make silly jokes and tease each other like they

As the days went by, Adelaide began to realize the full extent of the trauma and phobias that Lucas had inflicted upon her. She was plagued by nightmares and flashbacks, and she found it difficult to trust anyone, even Mino. But Mino was patient and understanding. He knew that Adelaide needed help, and he was determined to support her every step of the way. One day, Mino took Adelaide to a therapy session with a renowned psychologist. The therapist, Dr. Kim, was kind and compassionate, with a warm smile that immediately put Adelaide at ease. As the therapy sessions progressed, Adelaide began to open up about her experiences with Lucas. She shared her fears and anxieties, her feelings of guilt and shame. And with each session, she began to feel a weight lifting off her shoulders. Mino was always there to support her, visiting her in the hospital and sitting with her during her therapy sessions. He held her hand and listened to her, offering words of encouragement and comfort. As t

She didn't deserve someone like Mino, someone who was so kind and selfless. She had made a wrong choice by going back to Lucas, and now she was paying the price."Mino, I don't deserve you," Adelaide said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I made a mistake by going back to Lucas, and now I'm paying the price. You deserve someone so much better than me."Mino's expression softened even further as he looked at Adelaide. He could see the pain and guilt in her eyes, and he knew that she was struggling to come to terms with what had happened.Adelaide expected Mino to lecture her, t

Lucas's car was right behind them, his eyes blazing with anger and determination.Adelaide saw the look on Mino's face and turned around to see what was wrong. Her eyes widened in fear as she saw Lucas's car gaining on them."Oh no," she whispered, her voice trembling with fear. "He's going to catch us."Mino's eyes locked onto the road ahead, his grip on the steering wheel tightening. "Don't worry, I've got this," he said, his voice calm and reassuring.But Adelaide could see the tension in his body, the way his eyes darted back and forth between the road and the rearview mirror. She knew that Mino was worried, that he was trying to protect her from Lucas's wrath.As they sped through the streets, Lucas's car gaining on them with every passing second, Adelaide felt a sense of panic wash over her.

As the family gathering continued, with everyone enjoying the luxury foods spread out on the table, a sudden step of a foot echoed through the room. The sound grew louder, and soon, a man came into view.He walked with a confident stride, his eyes scanning the room as if searching for someone. As he approached the table, his eyes landed on Adelaide, and for a moment, they just stared at each other.The man took a seat in the vacant chair, and as he did, the room fell silent. Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, and Adelaide could feel the tension in the air.It was Mino.Adelaide's eyes widened in shock as she took in Mino's matured presence. He looked different, yet the same. His eyes still sparkled with the same warmth and kindness, but his features had become more defined, more chiseled.Mino smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners, and said, "Why the shocked faces? I'm part of this family, too."Lucas, who had been quiet until then, let out a grin and said, "Some things never chan

As Adelaide walked through the front door of her home, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her. She had been dreading coming home, knowing that Lucas would likely be waiting for her with a scowl on his face and a list of criticisms at the ready.But as she stepped into the quiet, empty house, Adelaide felt a sense of calm settle over her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting the stillness of the house envelop her.As she stood there, Adelaide's mind began to wander back to her encounter with Mino earlier that day. She couldn't help but smile as she thought about the way he had smiled at her, the way he had laughed at his own joke.As she walked into the living room, Adelaide's eyes landed on an old photo album that was sitting on the coffee table. She picked it up, running her fingers over the worn cover, and began to flip through the pages.The photos were old, taken during her and Mino's time together. Adelaide's heart swelled with nostalgia as she

As the days went by, Adelaide found herself locked in the room, with no escape. She begged Lucas to release her, promising to do anything he wanted, but he just laughed and told her she was his prisoner.Adelaide was desperate. She had never felt so trapped and helpless in her life. She paced back and forth in the room, trying to find a way out, but there was none. The door was locked, and the windows were barred.As the days turned into weeks, Adelaide began to lose hope. She heard Lucas coming and going, always with a different woman. She heard the sounds of laughter and sex, and it made her feel like she was being torn apart.Adelaide couldn't understand why Lucas was doing this to her. Hadn't she loved him enough? Hadn't she given him everything he wanted? Why was he treating her like this?As the days went by, Adelaide became more and more withdrawn.

As the night wore on, Lucas stumbled through the front door, reeking of alcohol and staggering like a drunkard. Adelaide, who had been sitting on the couch, waiting for him to come home, looked up at him with a mixture of concern and disappointment."Lucas, where have you been?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.Lucas looked at her with a bleary gaze, his eyes unfocused and his speech slurred. "I've been out with the boys," he mumbled. "We were celebrating a big deal at work."Adelaide sighed, feeling a pang of frustration and worry. She had been waiting up for him, worried sick about where he was and what he was doing. And now, he came stumbling in, drunk and smelling like a barroom.As Lucas stumbled towards the couch, Adelaide got up to help him. But instead of thanking her or apologizing for his behavior, Lucas pushed her away."Leave me alone," he growled, his voice cold and unforgiving. "I don't need your help."Adelaide felt a sting from his words, but she tried to ig
