The Billionaire's Undoing [ A Woman's Revenge] Chapter Eighty Seven
Lucas's head shook in disbelief as he and Emma were consumed with Tina's piercing cry of agony, oblivious to the quick exit made by Marco. "No, no, he's disappeared," he uttered, his voice barely audible."Can you put pressure on the wound? Or is someone already tending to it? Tap her cheeks gently to keep her conscious until the ambulance arrives."Tina was Lucas's top priority as his hands trembled while moving towards her. His thoughts raced with fear for her as well as her unborn child. "Emma, we have to apply pressure," he urged, both of them straining to hear the incoming ambulance sirens.Lucas's palms shook as he pressed them against Tina's wound, feeling the warmth of her blood oozing through his fingers, a stark reminder of the peril she was in. He tried to be tender, following the operator's instructions, but his mind was flooded with the events that had just transpired, still trying to wrap his head around so many things that just doesn't make sense.The operator's voice c

"We have spoken to Mr. Damien's wife," the officer continued, her tone unwavering but not accusatory. "She mentioned that Mr. Damien had discussed a situation with you, specifically the death of Sheryl Jones."Emma almost let out a sigh of relief, grateful that the real truth had not been revealed yet. But a question lingered in her mind. Why did Mr. Damien's wife lie to the authorities? Or was it Mr. Damien who had lied to his wife? She needed to find out. But first, she had to leave without getting herself into any trouble."That was not a situation," Emma blurted out, her voice shaking slightly. "Just two classmates reminiscing about what happened to Sheryl. The police never found the culprit. You never cared."The officer's expression softened, sensing Emma's frustration and bitterness. "We did our utmost, Emma. But now, we require your assistance. The passing of Sheryl, followed by your old time friend and classmate's, and now her own sister being shot – it all seemed to be conne

The police woman nodded her head,"Of course. How about you pen down the letters and take them home? If you come up with anything, feel free to call me." The police officer suggested. Emma nodded, swiftly scribbling the alphabet onto the paper, which she then passed to the officer. She promptly jotted down her number on it."We'll ensure your safety by keeping a police officer close to you. You won't even notice their presence," the policewoman reassured as Emma got up to leave.Exiting the interrogation room, Emma spotted Lucas by the exit. He pulled her into a comforting hug, pestering kisses on her hair before guiding her to his car."Are you alright? What did they ask you?" Lucas inquired, his expression etched with concern."Just questions about Damien, nothing major," Emma replied, as she fasten her seat belt, grateful to be out of that room. Starting the car, Lucas pulled out of the parking space and onto the main road. Emma hesitated before asking the question she had been d

Emma's unsettled stomach heaved as she sprinted towards the bathroom. The ghastly scene of Sheryl Jones' gruesome murder that had just played out before her eyes was seared into her psyche like an inescapable nightmare. She found herself bent over the closet, vomiting until her throat burned and her chest heaved with exhaustion. Collapsing onto the tiled floor, she clenched her eyes shut, yet the disturbing image refused to dissipate.After what felt like an interminable amount of time, Emma dragged herself back to the room, her hands trembling as she closed the video. A wave of sympathy washed over her as she realized that Tina must have seen this too. How could anyone bear to witness such terror? How could one bear to watch a video of their own sister being brutally slaughtered?As she sat there, her heart still pounding, Emma's thoughts raced just as quickly as her pulse. How had Tina gotten her hands on this video? And what could have compelled Sheryl to capture such a chilling m

Emma hissed, " You are bluffing", she retorted, her voice trembling despite her attempts to sound defiant.A sinister cackle reverberated through the room. "Let's see, shall we?" the voice jeered, sending a chill down Emma's spine."I think it's time to pay a visit your beloved mother? or perhaps Tina in the hospital at room 34. Oh, and let's not overlook your beloved sister who's happily engaged to Mr. Levi, the TV host. Or maybe...it's you I should visit, in your adorable pink tank top and black sweatpants, holding a phone to your ear."Emma almost stumbled backward, her thoughts spinning as the caller's words sank in. How could they know so much? She frantically scanned the room, searching for any glimpse of the entity watching her, but to no avail. She walked over to the corners and shelves, checking for an hidden camera but realized this isn't her apartment. "So, what will it be, Emma?"The phone fell from Emma's trembling grip, clattering on the ground. She pressed her back aga

"You bitch!" Her roar, dripping with malice, left Emma stunned and off balance."You are responsible for my husband's death, aren't you?" Nina's accusatory inflection sliced through the air like a sharp blade. "I warned him not to help you, but what did he do? He made me protect you, even after he was gone!"Emma's heart raced, tears brimming in her eyes as she pleaded for understanding. "I would never betray your husband, Nina. Please, listen to me.""Shut up! Were you sleeping with him? If you were, and I find out, I will hunt you down and kill you!" Nina hurled the threat at Emma, wagging a pointed finger in her direction.A brief pause revealed the hidden anguish beneath Nina's anger as she retreated into her home. After tense moments passed, she reemerged, grasping a young child's hand. "Take her," she spat, shoving the toddler into Emma's arms. "Take her too, since she is supposed to be taken away from me, along with my husband!"The oblivious toddler continued blissfully devour

Emma's ears reverberated, the words resounding in her psyche like a dissonant melody. Murder. Sheryl Jones and Damien. Could Nina truly be culpable for such monstrous deeds? It felt like a nightmare, but the presence of the law enforcement officers and her own brush with death, combined with Nina's desperate pleads, anchored Emma in a grim reality. "I believe you have made an error in judgement," Emma spoke, her voice quivering slightly as she attempted to appeal to the stern police officer. "Yes, she attacked me, but Damien is her husband. I refuse to believe she would attempt to take his life." The officer's glare intensified, his patience wearing thin. "You do not dictate to me. There is incriminating evidence against her, and she just tried to kill you with a knife. She will face consequences for this." As the officers began to haul Nina away, she thrashed and shrieked, her desperation palpable. "I am innocent, Emma! Please, stop them! I swear, I am innocent! Please, Emma, do s

Lucas's grasp on the steering wheel constricted even more, his knuckles turning white. He cast a glance at Emma through the rearview mirror, his brow contorted with anxiety. "Emma, I... I'm unsure if that's the wise decision," he faltered, his words wavering. Emma's jaw tightened as she met Lucas's stare in the mirror. "She deserves a chance at a genuine family since I destroyed the one she had," she retorted, her voice sharp and straightforward. Lucas halted the car and asked her to sit in the front seat, beside him. Emma hesitated but agreed, and as soon as she settled beside him, he began to drive, about to speak before Emma dropped another bombshell. "And... I think I might be pregnant." The car swerved slightly as Lucas abruptly hit the brakes, bringing it to a sudden stop. He turned to look at Emma, his eyes wide with shock. "What?" he exclaimed. "Pregnant?" Lucas asked once again. "I'm not certain," Emma admitted, her gaze darting everywhere but at him. "I've missed two of

Emma clenched her hands in her lap, her knuckles white. She glanced at Lucas, who gave her a reassuring nod. "You can do this," he mouthed.After what felt like an eternity, it was time for the verdict. The judge's voice was firm, unyielding. "Mario Rodriguez, you are sentenced to a total of fifty years in prison for the rape of Kathy Callum, for human trafficking, drug trafficking, money laundering, and aiding murders. You will be eligible for parole after twenty five years."The courtroom buzzed with murmurs, but Emma barely heard them. She was focused on the look of shock and fury on Mr. Mario's face as he was led away in handcuffs. It was over. Truly over.Tears welled in her eyes, but this time they were tears of relief. Lucas squeezed her hand, and she turned to him, a tentative smile breaking through. "It's finally over," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion.He nodded, pulling her into a hug. "You were amazing," he said softly. "So strong."Emma leaned into him, feeling

Emma felt the warm trickle of blood running down the side of her face where the gun had struck her. The metallic scent filled her nostrils as she looked up at Mr. Mario. His grip on her face was ironclad, his face mere inches from hers. His breath was hot and reeked of cigarettes as he hissed, “Don’t make me kill you, Emma. Don’t tempt me.”His voice was low and menacing, and Emma could feel the vibration of his words against her skin. She knew she was probably making the worst decision of her life, but it was the only thing she could think of. With a sudden, desperate resolve, she lunged forward and sank her teeth into his nose. She bit down hard, the taste of blood flooding her mouth, and pulled with all her might until she felt the flesh tear awayMr. Mario’s scream pierced the air, raw and filled with agony. Emma could see the shock and pain in his eyes as he clutched his nose, blood streaming through his fingers. Seizing the moment, Emma summoned every ounce of strength and let o

Emma slowly sat back down in a chair. She took a deep breath and opened the file. Inside, she found a set of documents. As she scanned the pages, her eyes landed on the title: "Dissolution of Betrothal Contract." Her heart pounded as she saw Morgan’s signature at the bottom.Her mind reeled. Why had Morgan changed her mind? What had prompted this sudden shift? Emma leaned back, staring at the papers, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion and curiosity. But her relief was unmistakable."What had changed her mind?" Emma whispered to herself, the question lingering as she stepped out of the courtroom.**One month later**Emma stepped out of the hospital with Tina, who had just finished her antenatal check-up. The setting evening sun glinted off the hospital’s glass facade, casting long shadows on the pavement.Emma got into the driver’s seat and started the engine. “Feeling okay?” she asked as she navigated the car through the parking lot.Tina chuckled, resting a hand on her baby bump.

His lips curled into a sneer. "I'm going to win my case tomorrow. And when I get out, Emma, I'll make sure you pay. I'll kill you, and before that, I'll have my way with you. Brutally. You'll regret everything. You should have stopped when you had the chance."Emma's smile didn't waver, but inside, a shiver ran down her spine. She steadied herself, refusing to let him see any weakness. She knew the case was too good for him to win it. "We'll see about that, Ethan Maddox. How pitiful it is, the once powerful Maddox, stuck in a jail cell." She stood up, adjusting her coat with deliberate grace.As the guards moved to take him away, Ethan's expression shifted, a malicious glint in his eye. "Watch your back, Emma. Mario is still out there, and he's planning something big."Emma paused, her heart skipping a beat, but she didn't turn around. She walked out of the room, the echo of Ethan's words trailing after her.With Mario still roaming out there, she knew everything was truly far from ov

"Cookies or a sandwich?" Emma asked.Tina picked cookies without hesitation. Emma retrieved a pack from the pantry and placed a few on a plate, setting it on the counter next to where they would soon sit with their hot drinks.The kettle began to whistle, steam escaping from its spout as Emma poured the hot water into two waiting mugs filled with cocoa mix. The rich aroma of chocolate filled the air.They sat down at the kitchen table, the silence heavy between them as they sipped their drinks. The warmth of the hot chocolate seeped through Emma's fingers, temporarily soothing her senses.After they finished their drinks and Tina left, Emma returned to the living room. The fatigue of the day washed over her, and she settled onto the couch, her thoughts wandering to Lucas.Hours later, the sound of the front door opening roused Emma from her doze. She blinked sleepily, glancing at the clock—it was a little past seven. Lucas entered the room.He settled beside her on the couch, leaning o

The lady sighed deeply, her shoulders slumping as she collapsed onto the edge of the bed. "Maybe you weren't convincing enough," she suggested. "You should have worn the other more revealing red dress. And maybe you sounded pushy..."Her words faded into the background as Morgan's anger reached a boiling point. With a sudden, ferocious movement, she stood up and crossed the room in two quick strides. Grabbing the lady by the front of her shirt, she lifted her off the bed and slammed her against the nearby wall. The impact sent a dull thud through the room."If you want to pass blame on me for your stupid plans not working," Morgan hissed through gritted teeth, her face inches from the lady's, "you're not going to like how it ends for you."The lady's eyes widened in shock and fear. Her breath came in shallow, rapid bursts. As Morgan's grip tightened momentarily before letting go, the lady slid down the wall, her legs weak beneath her. She straightened herself slowly, smoothing out her

Upstairs, Lucas leaned back in his leather chair, the phone pressed to his ear. Morgan's voice echoed through the line, breaking the silence."We need to see Lucas. It's urgent," Morgan's tone was urgent.Lucas frowned, his brow furrowing. "See me for what?" he asked, his voice guarded.There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Morgan replied, "About Ethan Maddox. There's been a breakthrough, and I thought you should know."Lucas's grip tightened on the phone. Ethan Maddox. He inhaled sharply."Why are you trying to help me?" Lucas's voice was low, contemplative. "It feels like there's more to this than just the case."A soft chuckle came through the line, warm and unexpectedly genuine. "Yes, Lucas," Morgan admitted, her tone unguarded. "I have my reasons. I want you to warm up to me, and if helping with this case will achieve that, then I'm willing to take the risk. I'm really sorry about yesterday, I shouldn't have done that. It's been years, and I should have allo

"This is one of the disk file you gave to us, we would like to watch it with you," the police officer stated and Mrs Veronica nodded.The screen showed a dimly lit kitchen. Mrs. Maria was gagged and tied on the floor, her eyes wide with fear. Ethan Maddox was pacing around, his face twisted in anger, his mouth moving rapidly as he shouted. Although there was no sound, the rage in his body language was unmistakable. Mrs. Maria seemed to be pleading, shaking her head in desperation.The scene escalated quickly. Ethan Maddox grabbed a knife from the counter and, with a swift, brutal motion, slashed at Mrs. Maria's neck. Blood spurted out in gruesome bursts, staining the floor and walls. Mrs. Veronica's breath caught in her throat, her eyes glued to the screen.The officer quickly shut the laptop, her hands shaking slightly. She took a deep breath, her face pale. "This... this is more than enough evidence," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Emma and Lucas sat in the car, parked

Emma inhaled sharply, not expecting what she had just heard. "Does the phone contain information that could help?" She asked and the woman nodded.Emma glanced at Lucas, whose eyes were distant and unfocused, lost in thought.Lucas suddenly stood up from the worn-out couch, his expression resolute. "This is what we're going to do," he said, his voice steady. He ran a hand through his tousled hair, a sign of the stress they were under.Emma watched as he began to pace. "I'm going to call the police, and you're going to speak to them," he continued, "They'll come here and find everything exactly as it is. But this time, we'll take pictures and leak them to the public. That way, they can't cover anything up, especially with the FBI involved." He glanced at the woman, whose eyes widened slightly, a mix of fear in her gaze."We need to make sure they can't hide this," Lucas explained. "You're going to tell them you've been attacked and that you have information they need. When they're clos
