All Chapters of THE CEO'S REVENGE : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Even if she felt like a helpless worm in front of Elijah, Maria Fernanda knew how to still stand up. No one had the right to make her feel less. It was enough with all she had gone through. It seemed like people didn’t like it when it comes to being a genuine soul. They were always there to remind us we’re nothing in this world with a transparent soul. They were always there to destroy that beautiful soul and make us as false as them. And then, they’re asking why we're so false. This wasn’t the kinda world where everyone could be happy without being judged. This was the world of falseness. “I don’t know who told you that. I don’t know what you’re doing here, but let me tell that if Mr. de la Fuente sent you here to try what he couldn’t because I asked him to go, let me tell that-“ “No one sent me here, Maria Fernanda!” Elijah raised his voice. “Oh! Really? And are you expecting me to believe that?” “Seems like this is where we start opening up, right?”“Just tell the man I don’t

Enjoying the meals they had prepared for the last four almost five hours, Stefan and Maria Fernanda found themselves smiling at each other and giving thumbs up. The meals all together were really wonderful. There wasn't anything that could interfere in the success of the new restaurants that Stefan was going to open up.“Seems like I’ve found my perfect chef.” The man said, undoing the knot of his apron. Maria Fernanda nodded. “Seems like I’ll ask for a raise.” “Of course, let me know how much you want and I’ll give you as much as you need.” Stefan laughed. “Don’t show off your last name.”“Oh! Right! You don’t like rich men to brag about their fortune but are friends with Elijah. Anyways, let’s fix the new salary for one of my favorite chefs. What else do you want?” Continued asking the man while ordering the kitchen. Maria Fernanda looked at him without Stefan noticing it. ‘I just want my five years back. I just want that part of my life you took away from me. Can you do that f

With their luggage being carried by the people who worked for Mr. de la Fuente, Maria Fernanda and her friend arrived at the palace of the de la Fuente family. Elijah was already waiting for them in the living room. “Seems like the heir has come.” Elijah greeted Maria Fernanda. “Seems like the handsome man will have to swallow his words, right?” Adamaris attacked. Elijah smiled. That made Adamaris hallucinated. He was such a perfect man. “Please, Miss. Adamaris, you can choose a room on the third floor. I need to talk to Maria Fernanda.” “Sorry, I’m not going anywhere without my friend. We need to choose the room together, right, Fernanda?” Maria Fernanda just smiled. “Go. Choose another one for me. I don’t care.” “Okay, your room has to be next to mine.” And then, Adamaris turned around to continue her way. Maria Fernanda and Elijah smiled at each other. “Your friend is really… something, right?” “She has been the only one this time. Without her I would have gone crazy.

“You’re not in love with him, right?” Adamaris insisted. What Maria Fernanda had explained to her for the last two hours sitting at the garden, hadn’t been enough for her to understand how all of that happened. Her sister had said she had kissed twice the man who was supposed to make pay for what he did to her. And all of a sudden, they kissed?! “Don’t be a stupid! I can’t be in love with the man who tore my life apart. I can’t forgive the man who destroyed my life.” “To be honest I haven’t seen you make any move against Stefan de la Barrera.” Maria Fernanda just looked at her. Adamaris shrugged. “I’m just saying. Don’t look at me like that.” “In moments like this I think Antonio was always right.” “Oh! Shit, what are you saying now?”“Antonio once said revenges will always take both into the grave. A revenge cannot be completed just by one suffering. It’d be karma, and to allow karma to make its work… the victims have to forgive. I can’t forgive him. I really can’t.” “Maybe…”

When Mr. de la Fuente got out of the office of Elijah, he couldn’t help but smile. His granddaughter was going to be fine as long as she was with Elijah. Elijah had never let him down. He was sure he wasn’t going to let him down this time. After having looked at the door of Elijah’s office, Mr. de la Fuente smiled. It was going to be a good evening. Elijah had already agreed to go to the dinner in his palace. Maria Fernanda was going to be there, talking about the new steps to continue with the plan. In his office, Elijah sighed. For the first time he didn’t know what had happened to him. In the past he wouldn’t have dared to say something like that. In the past, there wouldn’t have been a woman who could make his senses run out of their own control. If someone had told him before that he was going to lose his mind over a troubled woman who just wanted to get revenge on one of the most successful men in the country, he would’ve said that person was going crazy. And now he was there
