VOW OF REVENGE Chapter Thirty Nine
"How did he die? Heart disease, wasn't it?" I gave him a suspicious look."Of course not."He lifted his head and glanced at the television screen again, his eyes squinting. "Mr. Long died of anger." Hearing this news, my immediate reaction was to burst out laughing."Are you joking? How could a person possibly die of anger?" Jared took it rather seriously."There truly exist people in this world who have died of anger, quite a number of them indeed. If one is angered to a certain extent, breath stops coming; wouldn't that person die?"My brows furrowed; his words kept confusing me more.This reasoning was unexpected, so absurd it sounded like a joke. But I couldn't refute what he said. Kent thought I didn't believe him, so he emphasized:"I have this friend who works in the hospital. Mr. Long died in a Pro-Life hospital; the information he gave won't be false." "Oh.""In a couple of months, he's resigning from his position; I'll introduce him to you then." "Um, sure." I wasn't pa

After he left, I only then realized my palms were almost all sweaty. It was only after Kent gave me a cup of milk that my mood slowly calmed down."Why did you come up? I thought you had left.""Hmm, I had intended to leave, but then I saw Jared's car. I thought he was here.""Oh, now it's alright, you... should head back.""I should go? If I leave, what if that bastard comes back to kill"?I opened my mouth and closed it right back; I had never really thought things through.He did not leave. He spent the night at my place. After both of us had bathed and settled down, we lay in bed.The stars outside tonight were bright. I remained with my eyes wide open, unable to sleep no matter what.Kent, too, was not asleep. He turned around to face me and asked me,"Can't sleep? Want to do it?” Kent was already very good-looking, and right now he was lying face-to-face with me. Add on his gentle sweet talk and emotional expression; if I said my heart was not moved, it would simply be a lie.

Early in the morning the next day, I got up and started making breakfast. Despite breakfast being ready, I didn't see Kent getting up. I found it unusual, as he normally woke up early. Could it be because there were no plants for him to care for in my house, causing him to oversleep? So, I went upstairs to check on him, only to discover that he was packing my luggage. Upon seeing me, he didn't stop what he was doing and casually said,"We'll move out after breakfast to my place.""Why?" "Jared knows about this crappy place. He can even unlock your door with a wire. Do you still dare to live here?" "If not here, I can rent another place!" "Nowhere is as safe as my house. Plus, we have already slept together. You're my woman now. Isn't it fitting we live together?"I opened my mouth, wondering where he got that explanation from.No resistance from me could stop Kent. After breakfast, he, unbelievably, took all my luggage away. Without giving me any room to change my mind.And just

It was past 3 pm, and I was busy prepping ingredients for dinner when I heard my phone ringing. I rushed out to pick, thinking it was the delivery guy."Hello," I answered immediately. Jared's voice filled the receiver, cold as ever and devoid of any affection."Don't wait up for me," I heard him spit out. I was about to ask what he was up to when he hung up on me.I don't even know why I bother with him anymore; we have been this way since the very first day of this prison called marriage, but it still hurts each time he gives me a cold shoulder.I was confused, wondering what to do since he wasn't even going to be home for the special dinner I was prepping.But then an insane idea popped into my head. I knew it was a terrible idea, one I would pay dearly for, but it was his birthday, and he deserved some special homemade meal.Dropping the phone on the counter, I quickly rushed into the kitchen to whip up something really quick for him. I made his favorite creamy pasta and some cho

I woke up a few days later only to realize that I was on the hospital bed, bruised in many places more than I can count. Dad will always say, "You better die a Long than to live as a Steele." He almost got what he wanted. "Thank God you are okay," I heard Emily's voice from behind with a loud thud; she dropped the bag she was holding and ran to hug me. "Ouch," I cried out in pain. "Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry. Thank God you are fine," she said, drying the tears that formed in her eyes. She informed the nurses that I was awake, and the doctor came around to run a check on me. "She will be alright, no major concussion; she should be out of here in weeks." "Thank you, doctor," she said as he walked out of the room. "Did Jared come to see me?" I asked Emily. "You should focus on your health first, honey, please," she begged, gently patting my hand. I forced a smile; she kissed my forehead, smiling when Dad walked in. "Mr. Caine, Mrs. Caine," Emilia greeted, faking a

It has been Six months after the divorce and the accident, I decided to move on with my life. I was working as one of the directors at Emerald Events, a company that does event management.I recently brought back a contract worth five million dollars from Kentucky; my boss, Louisa, has treated me as a big contributor to the company. After lavishing me with rewards, she even gave me a seven-day vacation, adding it up with my annual leave.I finalized my divorce a couple of months ago; ever since that incident at his house, I had never set eyes on that bastard. Even while in divorce proceedings, he just sent his lawyer to settle things like I was some rag he was too eager to discard.I thought letting the case drag on for long would make him realize and maybe come back to me, but I was just delusional.Jared never had any sort of feelings towards me; for all I know, this charade called marriage was only a transaction to him.I was packing up my stuff to leave for my vacation.

I was enjoying the night; it was the best night ever since I married and divorced Jared. I was glad I attended the party. It was the first time someone was putting that witch in her place.Once it comes to her disgrace, I would always take the front row any day, any time.I turned to see those deep eyes looking at me, and with the roll of his Adam's apple, the thrilling moment of that night felt like a film replaying before my eyes. I can't help but tense my legs.He is just like a dose of venom, always waiting for me to fall into an irrevocable abyss.Leila was embarrassed, her gaze at me even more malicious. But she refrained from saying anything further and clung to his arm awkwardly.Probably unable to tolerate her, he excused himself to go back to the dance floor. This time she did not follow him. As his figure completely vanished, her ladylike demeanor instantly collapsed. She furiously looked down on me and scolded:"Samantha, have you no shame? You have been with numerous men

It felt like my tender heart was being grated by a thin wire, making my body tremble with pain. I felt lightheaded, unable to move, and couldn't comprehend what was happening. My breathing pace increased; I was slowly losing it. I hate remembering that painful night; I always end up having a panic attack each time I remember it. But today was worse, what Leila said must have triggered it and also made it worse. I staggered back and rested on the wall. My gaze fell on Jared who was busy speaking with some guests. He smirked at me, his gaze hinted a faint sense of amusement yet his eyes were cold. I felt a cold shiver run through my body and I froze, scared out of my mind. I heard the door of the bathroom open, I turned and my eyes met Kent's eyes, His brows furrowed. "Are you blacking out?" He asked. But I was in no position to talk, hence I was just looking at him. "Come with me," he said as he led me outside, and I quietly obeyed him without making a fuss. I sat

I looked up from the proposal with a weary face, meeting his somewhat mournful eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly:Even though we do not live together yet, we frequently find opportunities to share a bed. Even in the past month, when we hardly got to meet formally, we did it twice. It has merely been a week since our last meeting. The situation he alludes to is a gross exaggeration. I know he's joking, but the sight of his handsome face biting his lip brought a flutter to my heart.Ever since ancient times, beauty has been the most irresistible temptation.I put down the proposal and propped my head up with both hands."Handing the company to me was indeed a lousy idea. You might as well take it back. To be honest, I did feel satisfied when you handed me the company in front of Louisa. It was a slap in her face. Yet, during this past month, I felt uncomfortable sitting in this position. Mainly because I'm not adept at managing."Truth be told, I do not possess any ambition

He looked at me for a moment, then suddenly reached out to ruffle my hair, and began to laugh:"You look good, spirited. That's the real you."I was dumbfounded but in a good way."Sammy, from today onwards, you're going to start over, do you hear me? Do it for yourself, not for others."From now on, I won't live for others, but for myself.No one has ever said such things to me.It was only after he finished saying this that I raised my hand to gently hold his, choking back a sob as I uttered a single word:"Okay.""Good girl."He was in an exceptionally good mood."Considering you've been discharged from the hospital and you're being so obedient, I, your boss, have decided to give you a little gift.""What?""You'll know when it's time."When I followed Tom out of the car, standing once again in front of The Event Management Company I used to work for, I finally understood. The little reward he wanted to give me... was the acquisition of Mrs. Flint's company.During this time, he ha

Once in the car, I can’t stop worrying and endlessly talking about Emilia."Your friend keeps pestering Emilia like this, and in the end, he'll hurt her. As his friend, you must remind him not to treat her feelings lightly. She is not like other frivolous girls. She wouldn’t be able to bear such heartbreak again."Emilia has been forever scarred by Mickey's heartbreak. She doesn't need any more drama.Kent laughed derisively, looking from me to the road, seemingly helpless: "How do you know if Ben isn’t interested in her? As for love affairs, who can say for certain?"I was confused at first, wondering if Ben told him something and he wasn't saying it.But that doesn't matter anyway; I should make things clear before she experiences a worse heartbreak than that of Mickey."Indeed, the intricacies of love are the most elusive things in the world, but there's no chance for Ben and Emilia to happen. Your friend is a philandering man of privilege.Also, his status speaks for itself. His f

"Last night, what on earth happened? Why would I say such things to you?Also, I only remember drinking with Emilia at her house, then running into Leila, I vaguely remember something happening with her, and then you showed up. But why were you there?"Upon hearing my skeptical question, Kent seemed not bothered, he shrugged, and said nonchalantly said to me:"Ben wanted to find Emilia that night, fearing that he might get beaten up by Emilia, so he dragged me along. But when we got to her house, we found her lying on the bed drunk and passed out.I knew you would also be drunk and probably unconscious somewhere in the street. I followed you only to find you hugging the wall screaming that you love me and want to be with me." he paused and glanced at me to gauge my reaction, then continued. "I simply brought you back because I didn't want to make a fuss. That's exactly what happened."The way he described it was so annoying that I didn't know how to restore my dignity."If I was dr

Kent grabbed my hand while seizing my chin, forcing me to look him in the eyes. His complexion was very stern, but his eyes were serious."Do you think I'm a fucking beast driven solely by my lower half? Let me tell you, I'm not.I'm not a brute who would jump any woman he sees. When I made a move on you in the club, it was because I felt an inexplicable familiarity when I first saw you.I can't explain why, but I just strangely want to treat you well. If you say it's because I like you, then fine. Are you satisfied now?"The seriousness in his eyes was nearly intimidating as hell, and even though I was so drunk, and was about to lose consciousness, his tone still managed to startle me.I had experienced too much this evening, and my mental state barely held up until now. When he claimed that he liked me, the suppressed rebellious instincts in my heart broke free like a demon bursting through a door, stripping away my sanity.Staring at him dumbfounded, after who knows how long, I s

In the end, she was a spoiled girl from a rich family. She would only show off her toughness and fierceness when dealing with others. But once someone stood up against her, she would indeed back down immediately.When I furiously punched the wall close to her, and she felt the impact, she was truly frightened by me and obediently confessed everything."Samantha, I didn't hire anyone to rape you. Instead, after I knocked you out, I had you auctioned off in the underground black market."Auction? Black market?When these two words appeared, they directly shattered all the defenses in my heart... I always thought she was behind the act of violating me but didn't expect an even more unexpectedly bitter truth hidden behind all this.And this truth was far more malicious than anyone could imagine.I took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the urge to kill her right there, and continued to ask:"Who did you sell me to?""I don't know.
