CHAPTER 7: The Taste Of Revenge

Gavin

I instantly followed her as she turned her back on me. I couldn't help but feel furious with her, even though I noticed a glitter of tears in her eyes. I wanted her to pay for what she had done to me.

I thought I'd forgotten everything that had occurred, but as I caught a sight of her, all the anguish I'd gone through surged back, and I was filled with wrath once again.

Everything came apart when my beloved Loisa fled our wedding due of that woman. 

Loisa, like my father, had lost faith in me.

….

"Loisa! Let's speak about it. Everything is a misconception. I will never, ever cheat on you!" I yelled angrily outside their home.

"Loisa, please! Please give me a chance. We can go through this together!" I shouted it aloud, but it was her father who confronted me with a pistol.

"Bastard, get out of here before I murder you! What do you expect when you injure my daughter? To easily forgive you? That’s bullshit!" While pointing the pistol, her father informed me.

"Please, Dad! It was a mistake, "I begged.

"How can you address me as father? You are not my child! Exit this home right now! Otherwise, you'll be discovered dead before you realize it."

All I could do was retreat. That wouldn't assist me if I insisted on what I wanted.

….

Every day, I waited for them to open the door for me, but they never did. 

I fell down on my knees and asked forgiveness for as long as it took, yet it was still insufficient.

There was nowhere I could go. My father wanted to disown me because of what I done. 

I tarnished his name, and he only cared about it, so it was no surprise when he detested me to the point of disowning me as his son.

There was conjecture two months after our wedding that Loisa was no longer in the country and had gone overseas. 

Her family had not verified it yet, but a few months later, a photo of Loisa in an unusual location was circulated, which validated the rumors.

She was no longer in my arms and never would be.

My life was ruined, and I felt defeated. I would drink myself to death till I fell asleep, then drink the anguish away again and again.

That woman devastated my life, and I hated her every time I had. 

My goals, my dream with the person I had grown to love, were no longer unattainable since Loisa would never accept me again. 

Because of those silly falsehoods, everything began to fall apart.

When my mother found out what I'd been up to, she took me to the hospital for excessive drinking. 

That's when I recognized what I needed to do. And because my mother was the only one left who cared about me, I shouldn't let her worry about me anymore.

To be welcomed again, I bowed to my father and humbled my pride. 

He didn't want to give me a chance, but as my mother was going to kneel for me, he gave me an opportunity to show him what I was capable of.

He assigned me to the lowest-level job in our organization. 

I was already the CEO at the time, but he returned his firm when my planned wedding was disrupted. 

So I was back at the bottom, and I was determined to claw my way to the top and earn my father's confidence no matter what.

When those who disliked me realized that I had been assigned the lowest post, they began to mock me. 

I made a point of remembering their faces and identities so that when I was back in charge, they would never be allowed to step foot in the firm again.

I was able to reclaim my power three years later. I wasn't the owner, but I was still in charge.

"Have you discovered anything about that woman?" I approached someone for information and paid him a lot of money for it.

"The envelope is included. It has her image, name, status, hometown, and information about her personal life," he stated as he gave me the package.

Shantelle Clarkson. That was her given name.

She had shoulder-length brown hair that was straight, jade green eyes, and gorgeous heart-shaped lips. 

I should remember every feature of her face so I don't forget who shattered my life.

She seemed heavenly on the outside but was diabolical on the inside.

I'd make sure she couldn't enjoy a tranquil existence for as long as I was in this earth.

"But, it seems she is no longer in Wilderford," the guy continued.

"It's all right, and your duty is done here. You are free to depart."

She appeared more troublesome than I did, but it was still wrong to wreck someone else's life in order to preserve your own. 

I didn't bother looking for her and instead concentrated on reclaiming the Adams Enterprise.

I wanted my father to recognize me as his son and as a capable businessman capable of taking over all of our enterprises. 

I wanted him to recognize he made a mistake when he took over the firm.

I assembled supporters from inside and outside the company to help me become the CEO of Adams Enterprise.

"I'm still not sure that you can head our organization."

After hearing that he was still dissatisfied with my performance, I tightened my fist.

"However..." he said, so I calmed myself and listened to what he had to say.

"Wilfredo assigned his son to handle their enterprises on the island of Hawaii, and he wanted me to monitor his performance. Therefore I want you to be the one to oversee and assist his kid if he has a problem, but only if he begs for it."

"Father, I understand. I'll make certain that I don't fail on this one." I walked out of his office after saying that.

As I walked to my workplace, the magazine on my desk drew my attention.

She was the one who destroyed my wedding.

At Standford, she was regarded as a food researcher and the proprietor of Star Food.

I suppose I'm fated to meet her. If I accepted my father's proposal, I'd be able to carry out my plan for her.

That's how I got to where I am today. I forgot about my vengeance plans for her since I assumed I'd moved on and Loisa was happy on her own and with someone. 

I thought I could do it too, but just seeing her made my blood boil with rage.

I extended an invitation to her company to see if she'd bite, and she did. 

She declined my request to explore their proposals with me. She clearly recalled me as the guy she damaged.

I didn't expect to see her so quickly, but I noticed her at the same bar I was in, having a discussion with someone. 

I asked her to look where I was, and she did.

She seemed astonished. I had now established that she recognized me.

"So, tell me, miss? How are you doing? How's our little one doing? Our baby?"

As my fingers moved around her beautiful waist, I teased her.

'You're not going to get away from me,' I thought to myself as I let go of her.

Shantelle did a wonderful job presenting their offer on the day of our meeting, but I was not going to accept it. 

I simply wanted to play with her for a few minutes. I hoped I could see her reaction when she realized I wouldn't accept her proposal; it might be extremely fulfilling.

I guess luck was on my side since I was able to meet her after just a week. I stepped out of my vehicle to aid her since she was trapped in the middle of the road, but I had a secret goal.

At that time, I angered her so badly that I threatened to harm her. But I didn't care, and I let her suffer the consequences of her actions. 

She may label me a spiteful guy or a vicious monster who couldn't forgive her.

I was on the island of Hawaii, Freelea. I was come to see Baron perform, but I would also spend some time resting. 

I completed my task for two weeks that should have lasted a month, thus I won't be required at my workplace any longer. 

I had never gone on vacation before since I wanted to earn my father's confidence, so it was a wonderful chance for me to decompress.

I was about to return to my room when I observed a group of jerks pestering a female.

I pushed them aside and recognized Shantelle's face.

Every time I saw her, I couldn't stop torturing her with my words. It should be fun to play with her while I'm here.

"Oh, come on, Ms. Clarkson. What are your plans? I believe you should pay my talent fee. Is it true that I'm a good actor earlier?" I stated this while blocking her path.

I took her hand in mine and walked inside the pub. 

I made sure she couldn't get away from me since she was going to be my entertainment tonight.

‘I am going to make you taste my revenge, woman!’
