The Billionaire's Undoing [ A Woman's Revenge] Chapter Sixty Seven
The remnants of the previous night's events lingered in Emma's mind, casting a gloomy shadow over the new day ahead. However, she pushed aside those thoughts, focusing on the task at hand: getting through the day, one step at a time.Emma poured another cup of coffee, the scalding liquid burning her throat as she downed it all in one gulp. Grimacing at its bitter taste, she quickly rushed to the bathroom, splashing water to wash away any remnants of caffeine staining her teeth.Hastily returning to her bedroom, she grabbed her work essentials, her mind consumed with the realization that she would be late for work if she didn't hurry. As she hastily headed out the door, the absence of her car in its usual spot jolted her into realization. Lucas had only dropped her off at home from the club last night; her car was still parked there.Panic rising, she frantically searched for her phone, the digital clock taunting her with its display of the time past nine. With her heart racing, she ru

Emma nodded in tacit agreement, her heart heavy with the gravity of what had transpired. They exchanged seats, and Emma assumed control of the car, her fingers tightening around the wheel with unresolved tension as she ignited the engine and merged onto the road.At Tina's urging, they made a detour to a nearby café. The cozy ambiance did little to dissolve the tension between them as they placed their orders – a simple coffee for Tina and a cappuccino for Emma.Tina's voice quivered as she spoke of wanting to give Trevor a chance to explain. Emma listened, her doubts gnawing at her insides, but she remained silent, understanding that Tina needed to make her own decision. She only hoped it wouldn't take too much time or effort before she realized that Trevor was no good for her, someone she needed to steer clear of in order to avoid becoming a victim of his downfall.After purchasing their drinks, they continued their journey to the office. Emma glanced at her watch as they disembarke

Damien's firm tone began as he reminded her, "Before heading to work, feedback on the outing with Tina was needed from you, but you neglected to provide it. As for now, I will let it slide.""But as soon as you're done, meet me at the outskirts of the city," Damien continued, his sense of urgency palpable. "At Elmwood Park, next to the broken-down ice cream truck. No delays, it's critical. I've found something significant.""Of course, dear, I'll grab the vegetables on my way back," Emma's calm facade mirrored Damien's instructions to the letter, her tone composed as a worker walked by past her."Come alone, without any..." Damien's words were interrupted by a sharp familiar voice."Emma?" The interruption caused Emma to startle, fluidly lowering the burner phone she was using for their conversation and disconnecting the call, tucking it away inside her shirt. Her heart thudded in her chest as she pivoted towards the source of the voice.There stood Trevor Maddox standing proudly, his

Mr ethan turned to look at trevor. A small scoff escaped his lips, “But that can't be. You said she was a poor low-life,” Mr. Ethan shook his head, struggling to comprehend the revelation.“That's how she was when I first met her, broke and alone after losing her father. She had nothing! Working as a bar attendant” Trevor's said, a devilish smirk on his face as he looked at Emma.Emma's mouth hung open as she looked at Trevor, " W..what? I was never an attendant!!" She defended herself, but it all stood out deaf ears as Trevor and his father stared at her.Ethan exhaled as he looked at his son, “Well,She's proven herself capable, unlike the last secretary who was lazy and rude,” Mr. Ethan dismissed Trevor's outburst with a wave of his hand, focusing his attention on Emma.“Why didn't you tell me you used to date my son?” His tone was now more curious than accusatory, as if he was trying to piece together the puzzle of their complicated past.With anticipation fluttering in her chest,

"I must address the earlier events today..." Mr. Ethan began, striding towards the mini refrigerator in the corner of his office. He retrieved a bottle of water and poured it into a glass, then drank it down in one gulp."...Had I known you were Trevor's ex, I would have avoided any involvement with you, but that is too late now," Mr. Ethan continued, returning to his chair, his legs crossed on the other as he stared at Emma."I apologize, sir," Emma lowered her head."It is of no consequence. I cannot afford to let you go at this moment, as you have proven to be efficient and valuable to the company and may possess sensitive information," he stated with a cold look, daring her to object. But Emma knew better but to keep quiet and let him talk."If you cannot work with Trevor's presence in the company, now is the time to make your decision. I will not tolerate incompetency or excuses," Mr. Ethan's stern tone echoed in the office, sending a shiver down Emma's spine. She nodded in compl

A bitter scoff escaped Trevor's mouth the moment he saw Emma, "Are you presently tracking my movements?" Trevor's penetrating gaze fixated on Emma, enough to elicit discomfort from her."Pardon me? You're the one residing in the opposite house to mine, yet you feel the need to interrogate me?" Emma gave a small laugh, she shook her head in unbelief, it seems as though it wasn't enough seeing hum since after their breakup in his father's office, but seeing him in her apartment which makes it twice in one day was more than enough and she could not wait for the day to pass away."How benevolent of my father to offer you shelter. Pathetic," Trevor sneered, oozing disdain as he eyed her from head to toe, emanating hostility."At least I'm not promiscuous,, a deceiver, a despicable person, a perpetrator of domestic violence, and a manipulator, all rolled into one," Emma countered, her arms folded as she stood her ground, staring him down."What did you just call me?" Trevor advanced toward

In a flurry of haste, she shed her work attire, the fabric slipping through her grasp.The call of the bathroom tempted her, yet she opted to proceed without delay. Urgently, she stepped into the shower, the frigid water easing her aching muscles as it cascaded over her flesh. She shut her eyes, taking a moment of respite amidst the chaos surrounding her.While lathering soap onto her skin, her mind wandered back to Damien. What could he have uncovered that was so dire? The mere thought sent a shudder down her spine, hastening her to get out of the shower.Stepping out of the shower, she wrapped herself in a towel and swiftly dried off, the plush fabric absorbing the lingering droplets on her body. She donned a pair of comfortable leggings and an oversized sweater.Her hair in disarray, she ran a comb through the tangled locks, the bristles gently tugging out the knots. Casting a final look in the mirror, she smoothed down stray strands and took her phone, her thoughts already racing

Strong arms hugged her, drawing her away from the unfolding scene. The prick of a needle pierced her skin as the nurses administered a sedative. She could feel herself drifting into oblivion as the world blurred before her.♠︎♠︎♠︎♠︎Upon awakening, the sterile smell of the hospital overwhelmed Emma's nostrils. Lucas stood by her bedside, fretful and relieved.“You're awake,” he whispered, gingerly brushing her clammy skin.“He's dead... because of me,” Emma croaked, silent tears cascading down her cheeks, accusing herself.Lucas held her tightly, providing wordless solace as she wept into his shoulder, each sob wracking her body.She cried until her tears ran dry until the nurses returned with another dose of sedative. As the medication dragged her back into the abyss, the weight of her culpability bore down on her, unrelenting and suffocating.When she woke again, the throbbing in her head had faded to a distant pang, but the emptiness persisted, a void that threatened to consume her

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
