Billionaire's Tale of Retaliation [English]
Maddox Ventura fell in love with her sister's best friend. The first moment he saw Sariel Dixon, he told himself that she’d be the woman he would tie the knot with and cherish with all of his heart.
They became in close proximity since his sister dragged him along on every bit of their adventures of all kinds, and he’s even more attached to her, despite the fact that she tends to be stubborn all the time.
However, Maddox was very delusional in that moment, considering that he believed Sariel was the one he had been looking for, but it turns out she is the one who would destroy and betray him.
Maddox Ventura is a seductive but merciless. He’s both deadly and lovely to look at, he poured out his revenge on Sariel Dixon. He tormented her, he blamed her for killing his parents deaths for the betrayal that she used him for, and for playing his love for her.
Sariel Dixon, on the other hand, was taken up in the retribution that was never intended for her. But then she accepted Maddox Ventura’s rage toward her, since she’s in love with him. The big day comes. There was an event where they were completely wasted on alcohol consumption because of her best friend. They were unable to resist the temptation, and something happened between the two of them one night.
Following their heated exchange, Sariel won't be able to do anything if Maddox sees her as an enemy. But she is also human, with emotions. Maddox's tormenting of her is getting too much, leaving her with just one option: run away in Maddox's rage.
Will Sariel be able to find peace while running away?
Will the revenge tale end with Maddox seeking vengeance?

Chapter: Ch. 89: Reconciliation Sariel's Point of View Everything is going smoothly, but when Maddox stormed into my house one day, it felt like we were back to our usual arguments. "Wow, I thought we already discussed this. Apparently, it wasn’t enough. What more do you want?" "Yeah, I thought so too. But you know what? I’ve been waiting for you to tell me that Mason is my son, but you didn’t. When do you plan to inform me? When he’s older and doesn’t even know me as his father?" He spat, his words cutting deep. I froze, unable to respond immediately. I didn’t expect him to find out like this—I wanted to be the one to tell him. I was just waiting for the right time. But now, his timing felt like lightning, striking too fast. I took a deep breath and looked at him. Fortunately, my son wasn’t home; he was out with my mom. "So? Can we talk calmly?" I asked, tilting my head. "I am calm!" he yelled, and I raised my brows at him. "Then why are you yelling?" "I'm not." "Are you?" "Okay, I’m

Chapter: Ch. 88: Closure Third Person's Point of View As Lowe, Mason, and Sariel finished their meal, Sariel's son excused himself to go to the bathroom. Lowe and Sariel offered to accompany him, but Mason confidently said he could manage on his own. See? Sariel's little boy is becoming quite independent. Sariel let him go, knowing she could still see him heading toward the restroom. After all, this is a luxurious restaurant, and Sariel doesn’t expect any trouble in such a place. Lowe, however, had already spotted his brother and was carefully hiding his expression to keep Sariel from noticing. If Sariel discovered the truth, she would undoubtedly confront him. Initially, Lowe had promised not to meddle in their situation. But after seeing the undeniable longing between Sariel and his brother, Lowe decided it was time to step in. Meanwhile, Mason was already in the bathroom. After finishing up, he stepped out of a cubicle, feeling a little jumpy from all the delicious food he had eaten. On his wa

Chapter: Ch. 87: Dinner Date Sariel's Point of View After all the events, I continued to contemplate my next course of action. I didn’t answer my son’s question properly, and I don’t want to lie to him either. I need to talk to Lowe. I know he’s here since he followed me back to the Philippines after my flight. I was about to call Lowe, but luck seemed to be on my side; he was already calling me. I swiped to answer, placed the phone to my ear, and walked back to my room. I had just checked on my son, who was still asleep. It’s Sunday today, and later in the afternoon, we’re planning to visit Sister Jane. “Hey, what’s up?” Lowe greeted. I opened the door, pushed it closed with my foot, and headed to my bed to settle in. I let out a deep sigh. What do I even tell him? “What’s going on? Your sigh was so heavy I could feel it from here. Is it a big problem?” he exclaimed, laughing loudly on the other end. I snorted, rolling my eyes even though he couldn’t see it. “Can you stop laughing and just help me?”

Chapter: Ch. 86: New World Sariel's Point of View After six years, my son has grown up, and my mother and I have raised him in the United States. My uncle's arrest six years ago led to the return of the company to us. We owe our lawyer a great deal for making that happen. Now, after all these years, I find myself feeling a mix of emotions. For those six years, I entrusted the company to someone reliable, so I had no worries. However, now the company urgently needs me, and I have no choice but to return to the Philippines with my mother and son. As soon as we arrived, I dove straight into managing the business. I'm currently in traffic on my way to pick up my son from school. I sighed and drummed my fingers on the steering wheel, feeling anxious. I couldn’t help but worry that he might end up waiting in the shed alone, even though there are guards around. He seems to have inherited my stubbornness. Of all traits, it had to be that one. After a few minutes, the traffic eased, and I continued drivi

Chapter: Ch. 85: Amsterdam Sariel's Point of View To escape everything happening in the Philippines, my mother and I decided to settle in Amsterdam and bought property there. Now, we live in Amsterdam, where I can begin to heal the wounds in my heart. I keep myself occupied by creating whatever I want—cakes, cookies, and other treats. We own a small bakery, and though it’s modest, people love it and truly enjoy my baked goods. But one thing troubles me: a month after I found out I was pregnant, I felt pleased knowing Maddox is the father. However, I plan to keep this a secret from him because of the hatred he harbors for me and his constant belief in revenge. I began feeling symptoms but ignored them, thinking I was simply worn out from baking. However, when it became too much, I finally went for a check-up with my mom. The result of this pregnancy came from that night when we lost control. I wanted it, so I don’t regret this blessing. I placed my hand on my growing belly and gently caressed it

Chapter: Chapter 84: Runaway Sariel's Point of View I dialed my mother's number. By the second ring, she picked up. "Hello, dear? Have you decided what to do?" she greeted. "Yup. Ready to kidnap me?" I playfully chuckled to myself. "Right away. Wait for me," she chirped, and the call ended. I made sure to leave behind the less important items and bring only the essentials. I only brought one backpack. I didn’t want it to look obvious that I was running away. Hopefully, they'd assume I was just making a quick trip to Jungle K. I’ll miss this place so much. When my phone beeped and I saw my mother's text messages, I cautiously and silently walked around the back of the house, being careful not to draw attention. They were still in the living room. Mommy is not far away waiting for me; she just booked a grab for our transpo. We’d stop briefly at Daddy’s grave to say goodbye. Upon exiting the house, I exhaled with a sense of relief. Thank goodness they didn’t notice me. I sprinted as quickly

Chapter: Ch. 100: φινάλεAstrella Honey's point of view The suite felt warmer the second we stepped back inside. It wasn't just the hum of the heating system kicking in; it was my chest. It felt full in a way I wasn't used to. It was a happy-full, a calm-full, the kind of feeling that doesn't come with a hidden bill or a demand for payment later. I kicked my boots off by the door and let out a soft laugh, spinning around once in the middle of the living room just because I could. Dax looked up as he unbuttoned his coat, watching me with a curious tilt of his head. "Why are you suddenly glowing?" he asked, his voice humored. "Should I be concerned? Is this a fever?" "I'm just... happy," I said. I felt like I was admitting to something illegal, a secret I wasn't supposed to have. He paused for a heartbeat, his gaze softening

Chapter: Ch. 99: BabyDax Donomie's point of view By the time the house finally went quiet, it was well past midnight.The place looked like a battlefield, but a happy one. Bodies were scattered everywhere. Fabio was out cold in the armchair, one boot still stubbornly on his foot. Silvio hadn’t even made it to the guest room; he’d claimed a spot on the couch like a fallen soldier and hadn't moved since. Upstairs, the Buricat girls were tucked away, their doors half-open with the occasional snore echoing into the hall. Ciejill had vanished hours ago, which usually meant she’d either found a secret corner to sleep in or was already up to no good for tomorrow.I stood in the hallway with my arms crossed, taking in the wreckage of the night.“Next year,” I muttered to the empty air, “we’re hiring a full staff.”Astrella leaned against the wall right beside me. She was barefoot, draped in one of my oversized sweaters, she changed earlier, her hair a messy bird's n

Chapter: Ch. 98: Christmas EveAstrella Honey's point of view The wind off the Hudson had teeth, but the moment the Javits Center doors hissed shut behind us, the chill was replaced by the hum of a thousand voices and the thick, unmistakable scent of expensive lattes and overpriced funnel cake.I looked down at our table. The stacks of books were still there, crisp and smelling of fresh ink, looking far too professional for something that had started as a messy draft on my laptop.“Check the line,” I said, my voice hitching as I wrestled my gloves off. “Are they lost? Do they think we’re giving out free snacks?”Joana didn’t even look up; she just smoothed the corner of a display poster with a smirk that was pure ego. “It’s the charm. We’re talented, we’re pretty, and we’re just the right amount of unhinged.”Isha shrugs, her shoulder pressing against mine. “Actually, it’s because you put your characters through a metaphorical woodchipper and these people have a taste

Chapter: Ch. 97: Comic Con Astrella Honey's point of view Fuck it. Looking back, that night at Anonymous was easily the worst decision I’ve ever made. The Molly, the coke, that entire blur of neon and bad choices, it was a total disaster. And then there was Dax. The way he caught me, the "punishment" at the railing... just thinking about it makes my skin prickle. It’s been three months, and I still haven't touched base with the Buricats. Ciejill was a complete bullshit friend for letting that happen, but whatever, we’re fine now. I guess.One, two, three months. I try to count them like they’ll eventually add up to a version of me that forgets, but I can’t. Every time I close my eyes, I still hear the bass of the club and feel the cold glass of that balcony against my skin.But honestly? Something shifted after that night.I’m used to this Mafia life now. I don’t just live in it; I own it. I’ve traded the reckless high of a club for the cold, sharp adrenaline

Chapter: Ch. 96: Soaked Astrella Honey's point of view We went from zero to sixty in a heartbeat, peeling out of that hellhole with the engine roaring in my ears. I didn't care about the blood ruining my silk dress or the way the car jolted—I just clung to Dax. He was hurt, yeah, but the fire in his eyes told me he was still the most dangerous man in the city. Our guards didn't miss a beat, either. They boxed us in, two tons of steel protection weaving through the backstreets like predators in the dark. By the time we hit the rain-blurred neon of the city, I realized we weren't just escaping; we were regrouping.My thighs were slick, not just from adrenaline; his promise echoed in my head, making my clit pulse with every bump in the road. Dinner was forgotten. Survival sex was calling.The ding of the elevator felt like a taunt. We stepped out, and the first thing I saw was Keyu’s smirk. He and Ciejill were draped over the leather sofa, looking entirely too comfortable for a

Chapter: Ch. 95: Ambush Astrella Honey's point of view I stir groggily around 4 a.m., my body a throbbing wreck of aches and sticky bliss, sprawled naked across the rumpled king-sized bed in our penthouse. Yeah, it's ours now because I already claimed it as mine. Fuck, Dax, my stubborn bastard, fucked me senseless for hours straight after that brutal balcony punishment and ass-reaming by the windows. My pussy is raw, swollen like a ripe peach, asshole still gaping and leaking his dried cum down my crack. Tits bruised from his slaps, throat sore from deepthroating his endless loads. I passed out cold after the fifth or sixth orgasm, blacking out in a puddle of our filth. But now... oh god, his rough fingers are caressing my tender cunt lips, parting them lazily, dipping into the creamy mess of his old seed mixed with my squirt."Mmm, wake up, you drugging Princess," Dax growls low, his voice gravelly with lust as he pins my wrists above my head with one massive hand. I'm still ha

Chapter: Chapter 109 - φινάλεSariel's point of view The closure that I've been looking for has come to an end, and Maddox and I are no longer in any danger. It's been a long time. Now we are in the city of Amsterdam. It was at the narrow bridge that Maddox made his second proposal to me. Wala ng mas makakapagpigil sa kanya, e. Tinotoo talaga 'yung biro na mag-propose 'ulit. As for my mother, she has decided to remain in this wonderful place permanently. She has found a Dutch partner here, and I will always be there to support her. She has earned the right to have a life with the man she loves now and to take care of each other, but I will never forget about my father. Gusto ko lang ulit sumaya si mommy gayong siya nalang mag-isa. Ayaw din naman niyang sumama sa amin ni Maddox. I am currently six months pregnant, and Maddox is such a sharp shooter. My second baby, and it's a girl. Minsan nga pinaparinig ko, na sana siya nalang ang nagbuntis kasi ang hirap naman 'yun. Well, I set aside those thoughts. For

So when are you going to tell me that? When he's old and not really knowing me as his father?" He spat. Napatahimik naman ako sa sinabi niya. Hindi ko naman akalain na mas mauuna pa niyang malaman, 'to na dapat ay ako ang nagsasabi sa kanya. It's just that naghahanap lang ako ng timing. Ngayon sana kaso 'yung timing ng pagpunta niya rito sa bahay parang kidlat, ang bilis. Huminga ulit ako ng malalim at tinitigan siya. Buti nalang wala rito ang anak ko, kasama niya si mommy gumala.

Chapter: Chapter 106 - Son Third person's point of view As Lowe, Mason, and Sariel finished their food, Sariel's son excused himself to go to the bathroom. Lowe and Sariel volunteer to accompany him, but Mason says that he can handle himself. See? Sariel's baby boy is kind of an independent na talaga. Hinayaan nalang siya ni Sariel, masisilayan naman niya ito papunta kung nasaan man ang bathroom. Tsaka, this is a luxurious resto, so Sariel is expecting that there's no bad, evil people lurking there. Lowe, on the other hand, has already seen his brother and is concealing his expression to prevent Sariel from noticing it. Baka mahambalos na talaga siya nito. Initially, Lowe had stated that he would not interfere in their relationship. However, upon witnessing his brother and Sariel's intense longing for each other, despite their denial, Lowe decided to intervene.

Alam ko, at alam ni Leonhardt, Silvano and Rico are clean. Before we even stepped foot in this restaurant, Leonhardt had already run a background check so deep, pati Grade 1 records nila ay nalkalkal na. They answered our subtle trap questions with the kind of honesty na tanging mga taong walang itinatago lang ang makakagawa.But Niño and Clarisse? They were practically vibrating with nervous energy."Excuse me, I just need to use the restroom," Niño said, his voice cracking slightly. He didn't wait for an answer; tumayo siya agad and headed for the hallway.Leonhardt gave me a look, a silent command to stay put, bago siya tumayo. "I'll be back. I need to take a quick call anyway," he lied smoothly. I watched his tall, imposing figure follow Niño into the dimly lit corridor.Seconds later, Clarisse’s phone buzzed again. Th

Sabi pa nga niya, it was to celebrate the successful presentation, pero kilala ko siya—he wanted us in a controlled environment kung saan pwede niyang obserbahan ang lahat.Sumakay kaming lahat sa dalawang sasakyan. I was in the back of the SUV with Leonhardt, his hand never leaving mine. Buong byahe, he was silent, looking out the window with that calculating gaze. Samantalang sa kabilang sasakyan, rinig ko hanggang labas ang tawa nina Niño at Rico.Pagdating namin sa isang upscale Italian restaurant, we were ushered into a private dining area. The ambiance was cozy, with dim lighting and the smell of fresh herbs and truffles. Pero kahit gaano pa kasarap ang amoy ng pagkain, hindi ko maalis ang dread sa sikmura ko.Naupo kami sa mahabang mesa. Leonhardt was at the head, and I w

Nagtagis lang ang bagang niya, kitang-kita ang pagpipigil habang ang mga mata niya ay parang binabasa ang bawat hibla ng nararamdaman ko. Sa isang maliit at tipid na tango, binigyan niya ako ng permiso. It was a silent agreement. A trust.Kinuha ko ang phone at naglakad palabas ng office. Ramdam ko ang tingin nina Silvano at Rico sa likuran ko, pero wala akong pakialam. Pagkasara ng pinto, sinagot ko ang tawag habang naglalakad palayo sa hallway, sa isang pwestong walang makakarinig sa amin.“Leonhardt, finally! I thought you were—"“He’s busy,” putol ko sa kanya. Ang boses ko ay malamig pa sa yelo at wala ng halong kaba. “This is Ingrid.”Natahimik naman ang kabilang linya. Ramdam ko ang gulat niya, pero hindi iyon tumagal ha. Walang hiya talagang babae 'to.

Tama si Wayne, the moment the evidence was erased, the game changed. Hindi na lang ito basta pananakot; it was a cleanup operation.Nang makarating ako sa kumpanya, hindi na ako dumaan sa table nina Clarisse. I headed straight for Leonhardt’s private office.Pagbukas ko ng pinto, saktong nakatayo si Leonhardt sa harap ng bintana, nakatalikod sa akin. He had his sleeves rolled up, and even from the back, I could feel the tension radiating from him.

Beyond the exhaustion, I felt more powerful than ever. Tumayo ako at nagsimulang mag-ayos sa harap ng salamin. Isinuot ko ang gold watch ko, ang huling touch sa corporate armor ko para sa araw na ito. "Leonhardt," tawag ko sa kanya. Nakatayo siya sa tapat ng floor-to-ceiling window, seryosong inaayos ang kanyang necktie. Kahit likod lang ang nakikita ko, ramdam ko ang awtoridad na dala niya. "Hmm?" Lumingon siya, at agad na gumapang ang tingin niya mula ulo hanggang paa ko. That familiar possessive glint was there again. Lumapit ako sa kanya para ayusin ang suot niyang kurbata. "Dadaan muna ako sa firm. I need to check some personal files, at saka... kanina pa nagwawala ang phone ko dahil kay Wayne. He’s been blow
