waiting demons rift

“I don't want any trouble, Easton.” She breathed. But he only stepped closer, running his fingers on her cheeks slowly as a smirk stretched the side of his mouth, “Well, that's too damn bad because I want to see you in trouble. I want to see you in pain until you're nothing but a shell in a body.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she held back a sob, her throat was dry as she asked the question that was burning in her chest, “Do you hate me that much?” Seeing her tears made something in him shift but he quickly recovered. He took a few steps back and tucked his hands in his pockets before finding her gaze again, “That would make me too kind. What I feel for you isn't hate, Scarlet. It's deeper than that, but most importantly, I want to make you pay for ruining my life and taking my brother from me.” ……….. They say opposites attract, and for them, it was love at first sight. But love wasn’t enough to keep them together when fate tore them apart. She left him, convinced it was the only way to protect him. He believed she abandoned him out of cold-heartedness, and love for money. Blaming her for his brother’s tragic accident. For five long years, he’s harbored a fierce bitterness, a desire for revenge so intense it’s reshaped him, hardening his heart to ice. Now she’s back—stronger, wiser, but still haunted by the shadows of their past. And he’s waiting, ready to make her pay for what he believes she stole from him. She takes his anger, thinking it’s because she left, unaware of the deeper wound that fuels his wrath. But what happens when the truth finally comes out?

"Excuse me! Do you think you can walk back into my life after you've ruined me?!" I yelled, feeling the tears roll down my cheeks as I stared at him with hate brimming in my eyes. "Dela, it's not what you think. I really..." "Enough!" I swiftly interrupted, wiping tears from my cheeks with my bare hand. I adjusted the purse I was holding in the other hand. "Adele..." He tried to touch me but I stepped back from him immediately. "You broke me into many fragments, Carlo. It took a lot of efforts to fix me again. I won't have you or anyone else ruin my life in that manner, ever again!" I turned away and stepped into the waiting cab, closing the door after me and ignoring his attempt to chase me as the cab began moving. My eyes sting me and the tears continued to flow down my cheeks but I did nothing to hold it back. Who abandons his bride on the day of their wedding without any notice_not a single word and disappears without a trace for a long time, only to show up years later in another country, in another city, pleading to be forgiven, begging to be taken back?? Wouldn't I be the most stupid woman on earth if I'm to fall into his trap again? I'm definitely going to make him pay for ruining my life. I'd make him have a taste of the humiliations I faced. I'll pay him back so much till he'll wish we never met again! ~~~ Well, Adele is soon to discover, just how wrong she was and how she ended up being the reason things happened the way they did.

"Nice to meet you, Raine," I forced a smile, but as soon as she was out of sight, I muttered under my breath, "Bitch." Well, it's true, she was wearing such a skimpy dress! I didn't realize that's Aiden's type now! I shook my head at Arden. "Babe, I need to use the restroom." Arden nodded. Before I could make my way to the restroom, I had to pass by the entertainment room where Aiden and his girlfriend were. Annoying! Even though I didn't glance at them, I couldn't escape their peripheral vision. Aiden had his arm around Raine, but it wasn't just a simple arm around her; his hand was inside her dress. Maniac! Isn't he afraid that our parents might catch them?! And this Raine, she's already letting Aiden touch her as his girlfriend. Where's her decency...? I splashed my face with water as soon as I entered the restroom, but my eyes widened when I saw Aiden waiting for me. I was about to avoid him when he pushed me back inside. I immediately slapped his chest. "Can't you leave me alone? What nonsense are you going to do now?" I scolded him sternly, but my voice was weak, and someone might hear us. "Get out of here! Don't block the door, and I'm leaving." I was about to push him away when he grabbed my wrists and switched our positions. Now, I was leaning against the door, and his body was pressed tightly against mine. "Aiden, what are you doing?" I reprimanded him, but he didn't listen. He grinned at me and lowered his face to meet mine, claiming my lips once again. Damn!
