All Chapters of Billionaire's Tale of Retaliation [English Version]: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Sariel's point of view I feel terrible that I took something important from him. As I looked at him, I took a deep breath. He is still exquisite, as his appearance hasn’t changed. Five days feels like almost five years to me. And now he’s close by, but I can’t seem to get in touch with him. I hope this isn't our last meeting. I just need to talk to him. I told myself I would return the folder, but it seems like I won't be able to. I don't think I can even go back to his penthouse. "So, this is Maddox Ventura, babe," she says suddenly, then motions for Maddox to shake my hand. "Maddox, this is my best friend, Sariel," she says, then gently pushes me toward Maddy. I turned to glare at her. This brat. If I didn’t already know Maddy, I would probably be thrilled. But since I know him, I think it's not excitement I’m feeling right now, but anxiety. "Yeah, I know her very well," he says flatly, staring at me with a blank expression. I swallowed hard when I met his gaze. Is he mad at m

☞ THE PRESENT DAY, in relation to Chapter 5, which happened six months ago ☜ Sariel's Point of View Six months had gone by since that terrible day, and everything had changed. Thinking back, I stood at the brink of Jungle K. Reflecting on the path that had brought me here, I once enjoyed this spot. There are a lot of changes here. They even added a barn. I can see the horse from where I'm standing inside the stable. A week has passed, and I miss my mother so much. I think I've only spoken to her once this week. Maddox is still enraged at me. Well, we're back to being strangers. We all are. No matter what I say or how I explain myself, they still don’t believe me. So, why waste my precious breath? A long, heavy sigh escaped my lips. If I could make one wish, it would be to improve myself. I can't decide whether to end my crazy existence or keep going. Now that everyone has left me, I'm completely alone. Meli, my best friend, and I had no communication the day before the accident.

Sariel's point of view It's chilly in here. On my forehead, I am beginning to feel dread. I need a thicker comforter. As I prepare to stand up, I hear a rustling sound coming from the bathroom. Wait. At this moment, I am the only person present in the room. How is that even possible? Is there a cockroach inside? If there is, I'm terrified of it. But I have to get up and look for a blanket. Ignoring the rustling, I head toward the closet. But before I can open the closet, I hear another rustling, and this time it's different, like someone is in there, not just a cockroach. A chill runs through my veins, and my heart leaps into my throat as I reach for the vase. But it's too late. I feel the cold, hard barrel of a gun pressed against my temple. "Do you think you can play princess here?" the man rasps, his voice filled with cruel familiarity. "So, you and that Ventura are lovers, huh?" My Tito Finn, the one and only, is here. How did he get in? Maddox has increased security, so

Sariel's Point of View After the event, we headed to Owen's mansion to celebrate his mother's birthday. He really wanted to bring us all along. I wasn’t planning to join, but I had no choice—Maddox might drag me there if I try to back out. "Sariel, do you want to ride with me?" Owen asked. I was about to answer, but someone wrapped an arm around my waist. I frowned because I already knew who it was. "She's coming with me," Maddox cooed. Owen raised his hands in surrender. "Fine, she's all yours," Owen chuckled and then went to his car. "Let's go," Maddox snapped, then led the way to his car. "It's okay if I don't join. I can just take a taxi back home," I suggested, hoping he'd agree. But I must've made a mistake because it seemed like I just ignited the fire inside him. He clenched his jaw and exclaimed, "Shut up, or else I'm going to keep you at the opposite side of my car, in the trunk, if you mention coming home one more time." Okay, fine, Maddog clearly doesn't jo

Sariel's point of view "Stay here, don't leave. I have something to attend to in the VIP room," he said with a warning tone, gesturing towards the upstairs area. I think the glass there is tinted. I just nodded at him as he said a lot, he ordered for me a drink while I waited. I requested a Margarita. He got up and went up to the VIP room; I'm sure he can still see me from here. So I have nothing to worry about. Haisst, it's so boring when you're alone. I wish at least one handsome guy would approach me. Gosh, self. The audacity? I closed my eyes when I heard relaxing music. I abruptly opened my eyes when I felt someone sitting beside me, thinking it was Maddox. Then, another person sat on my left and touched my shoulder, which made me a bit nervous about their intentions. "Hi, there, beautiful," one of them greeted. Yeah, I did wish earlier that someone would approach me, even just one handsome guy. But there are two of them, and they look kind of sleazy. "Uhmm.
