All Chapters of REVENGE AND RAVISH: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The Evidence Within ReachThe abandoned warehouse was eerily quiet after the gunfire ceased. Xander, Isabella, and the others took a moment to catch their breath, but there was no time to waste. Marcus, still shaken, motioned them to follow him.“I stashed the evidence in a safe place. It’s not far from here,” Marcus whispered, wiping the sweat from his brow.They moved cautiously through the dark alleys, the tension thick in the air. Every shadow seemed to hide danger. Xander stayed close to Isabella, their hands brushing as they moved quickly, neither daring to speak of the fear they felt.Unraveling the TruthMarcus led them to an old, run-down building on the outskirts of town, a place long forgotten by everyone but him. As they entered, the stench of decay filled the air, but Marcus didn’t falter. He went straight to a loose floorboard in the far corner, pulling it up to reveal a small, weathered lockbox.“This is it,” Marcus said, his voice tight with anticipation.Inside the bo

Even if Alexander's empire was in shambles and the courtroom battle was still imminent, there was still work to be done. The collapse of one of the city's most influential men sparked an unrelenting media frenzy. Though rumours circulated about his secrets being revealed and his influence eroding, Xander, Isabella, and Natalie knew the narrative was far from ended.A chilly wind blew through the scene as Alexander was led to the waiting police waggon. Xander was relieved yet fatigued as he stood next to Isabella, his arm wrapped around her. From the corner of his eye, however, he saw Natalie leaving—quietly, as though vanishing into the darkness."Natalie!" As he jogged after her, Xander cried out.She didn't turn, but she stopped. With a flat, worn-out voice, she added, "You don't need to thank me." "I never wanted to save anyone but myself."Standing a few steps behind her, Xander scowled. "You saved us nonetheless."Her eyes were colder than he remembered when she finally turned to

The room was suffocatingly quiet. Isabella stood still, her eyes fixed on the screen as she grasped the magnitude of her discovery. The "Alliance" was not merely a conspiracy; it was a worldwide network that had penetrated some of the most powerful organizations in the world.Xander had not told her about this.The weight of treachery was weighing down on her, and her heart was pounding. Unaware of the actual threats they faced, how could he allow her to fight in the dark? There was dread in addition to rage. What else was Xander concealing from her if he could conceal this? Was she able to trust him any more?She heard footsteps just as she was about to leave the workplace by reaching for the door. Xander.The door creaked softly as he stepped into the room. Though his eyes were instantly drawn to the open laptop, he replied in a casual tone, "Couldn't sleep either?" A moment later, his face changed."What are you doing?" His physique was stiff, his voice fierce.Isabella stood up st

Isabella stood by herself in the darkened room, the burden of the disclosures bearing down on her chest. The silence after Xander's departure sounded deafening. The world she believed to be her own was collapsing beneath her feet, and it wasn't just Xander who betrayed her. She had been living in the shadow of lies for years, and her parents had been killed because they were too near to the truth.However, the fog had now dissipated. The way forward was obvious: with or without Xander, she would destroy the Alliance. Nothing else was an option for her.A few of days later, Isabella was seated in a quiet café outside the city. Selena, the lady who had given her a lifeline but also rocked her world with the truth, sat across from her. As the one person Isabella could trust, Selena had played a crucial role in her parents' investigation years prior.Selena examined the room and murmured, "We have to move carefully," in a quiet voice. "The Alliance is watching everything. They'll realise

Isabella stood by the window, gripping the phone more tightly than she had the previous evening as the morning light came through her blinds. She kept thinking about Xander's warning. There had been genuine concern in his voice, and his words had been more than a threat. More than anything the Alliance had done to date, it shook her.She couldn't stop now, though.Selena was already setting stuff downstairs. The damaging files were only a day away from being made public. When the news broke, the lawyers they had contacted guaranteed complete security, and journalists from a number of reliable publications lined up.Isabella came down the stairs with a knowing expression in her eyes, and Selena looked up. "Didn't you hear from him?"Isabella's throat was dry as she nodded. Last night, Xander gave a call. He cautioned me. instructed me to retreat.Selena squinted her eyes. "So he's also trying to frighten you."Isabella mumbled, "Maybe," as she looked down at the table with the evidence
