All Chapters of BITTER-SWEET REVENGE: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

I picked up the card and tucked it into my purse.The cold night air bit at my skin as I walked home from the railway station. My heels clicked against the pavement, each step heavier than the last. My head pounded, my body ached, and my heart was in shambles.By the time I reached my apartment, exhaustion weighed me down like a lead blanket. I collapsed onto the couch, staring at the ceiling. I wanted to forget the humiliation, the betrayal, the jeering laughter still ringing in my ears. But my mind was a battleground, replaying every single moment.I pulled out my phone and typed a message to my best friend, Silver."I lost everything. I don’t know what to do."The message sent, but there was no immediate reply. Not that I expected one—it was late.Curling up on the couch, I hugged a pillow to my chest.Kenneth’s betrayal wasn’t just about the engagement.It was about all the years I had wasted.All the sacrifices.All the love I thought was real.Tears slipped down my face, but thi

The Girl from the Railway Station, I Continued"Oh," his deep voice came through, smooth but indifferent. "I thought you weren’t going to call."I swallowed hard, gripping the phone tightly. "I’m willing to be your bride for one year."Silence.There was a brief pause, and for a moment, I thought he had hung up. Then, his reply came, calm and collected."Okay."That was it. No questions, no hesitation."Let's meet at a café," he added before the call disconnected.I sat frozen for a moment before shaking myself out of it. This was happening. I flagged down a cab and arrived at the nearest café within minutes.Josh was already there. He sat in a private corner, legs crossed, one arm resting lazily on the table. His gaze was cold, unreadable.I slid into the seat across from him."Being my bride isn’t easy," he began, voice firm. "But you will be richly paid on a weekly basis, and all your expenses will be covered by me."I listened silently as he continued."You will attend family gath

Sophia’s lips curled into a mocking smirk as she folded her arms. “She’s a thief,” she repeated, her voice dripping with amusement. “Her headlines are all over the news.”I stood still, my nails pressing into my palms. The humiliation from earlier still clung to me like a second skin, but I refused to let it show. That was exactly what she wanted, she wants to see me crumble.Josh, beside me, let out a short laugh, stepping forward with ease, as if this entire confrontation was nothing more than a mild inconvenience. “What if there’s nothing like that?” His tone was calm, but there was an edge to it—one that sent a ripple of unease through the room.Sophia raised a brow, her confidence unshaken. “Then I’ll lick her foot.” Her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear, the mockery behind it making my stomach twist.Josh’s smirk deepened. “I’d love to see that.”Sophia let out an impatient sigh before pulling out her phone. With a confident flick of her fingers, she tapped on the scree

Josh blinked at me, as if he hadn’t heard me right. Then, his expression shifted—confusion, then disbelief, then something else entirely."You want me to get you a what?"I wanted the ground to swallow me whole. "A tampon," I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper.Josh exhaled, running a hand through his hair like I had just asked him to rob a bank. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, staring at me like I had completely derailed his night.“I don’t—” He shook his head, rubbing his temples. “Where am I supposed to get that?”I folded my arms, shifting uncomfortably. "I don’t know. A store? A housekeeper?"Josh let out a short, humorless laugh. “Right. So, you want me to march through my father’s mansion in the middle of the night and ask a maid for that?"I scowled. "Well, unless you have a better idea, yes."Josh groaned, tilting his head back against the couch. He looked completely defeated. This was Josh William—always in control. And yet, one small request had h
