A Game Of Revenge

~ GARNET BETH ~•“Just how shameless a person can be? Does respect even cross him?”I mean if he got the looks and probably the money, that didn't mean he could get any woman he laid his eyes upon. “How dare he… motherfucker,”I continued to curse him in my mind as I walked inside Lesley's apartment.“Garnet-”"I swear if you say anything about that, I'll kill you first!" I growled at her. She put her hands in the air, disquiet at my uncontrollable wrath."Hey, calm down, do you even know who you slapped.""A spoiled rich brat!" I spat.My body trembled to recall how close he was, how he held me, all of it stiff me."He was the owner of the club." She informed me with a frown."So what? That doesn't mean he can do this. This is wrong," I argued, shrugging my shoulders in irk. I ran my hands in my hairs as the scowl on my face indicated Lesley to keep her mouth shut before I commit a murder."That bastard ruined my night, making my day more miserable." I scoffed and went to my room

~ ROY LAYNE ~•Just how twisted fate could be?The woman I was looking for, came to my doorstep giving me a golden opportunity to make her pay for what she did.For the humiliation she made me go through. I'll be more than happy to give her the job so that she stays with me, leading me to the uttermost indulgence.“Ah.. how lovely.” I will make her pay, the tingling sensation of my cheeks won't fade away until I make her go through the same disgrace.Until she would beg me for forgiveness.No woman ever dared to displease me and her, how could she...I sighed deeply and went home. I went to the lounge and saw Mother and Mr. Layne looking at me, stoic as usual. I came to Mother and kissed her forehead and smiled."Welcome, Son." Mother smiled."Thanks. Where's Lucien?" I asked about my twin brother."At the studio." I nodded and was about to leave but I heard Mr. Layne saying in his usual stern voice."Your father is here too.""Evening, Mr. Layne." I said coldly."Disrespectful chil

~ GARNET BETH ~•I couldn't believe I got the job. I.. Actually got the job!My trial was completed and he was willing to assign me as his PA. ‘Here I thought he would make my life hell in these months and would take revenge for the slap and throw me away after being done.’Mr. Layne showed he was truly a gentleman, he was a professional. He didn’t make assumptions based upon prejudice.This felt so surreal, I lost hopes of moving Erica with me for the next few years but it felt like the Heavens were on my side. With my pay, it was only a matter of months.“Yay,” I beamed, he didn't hold any personal grudge against me.I had begun to admire him, he was such an embodiment of professionalism. “Rumors were right, he is a remarkable businessman. Well that is why he is on top,” I spoke to myself, walking to his cabin to sign my official employment contract.I tried as hard as I could, of course he could be rude sometimes but overall he was a good Boss who taught me extremely well in the

When he left, I took a deep breath, calming my racing heart as I put my hand over my chest, failing to suppress my smile.One meeting with him and I was experiencing an ancient connection.And how could it go unnoticed by my boss? "He is surely enticing, isn't he?" Mr. Layne taunted with a hint of rage. “What?” I turned to him, realizing I swayed for a moment.Blinking when everyone was gone as he was leaning on the table, one hand over my notepad while his other hand was in his pocket. He was giving me an unfathomable look which left me dazzled. "And here I thought you would slap him for kissing your hand." He mumbled and ridiculed me, that was something he did from time to time. ‘It depends upon the person and the situation.’ I truly wanted to retort back to him but I remained silent. He straightened his back and closed the gap, hands in the pocket. He leaned down to my level as he began to say scornfully."It depends upon the person and the situation, right? Isn't that what

A shiver went down my spine when I felt the tingling sensation of his fingers brushing against my back. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t remove the sensation of it, even if I wanted to.‘Should I tell Lesley about what Mr. Layne did? No, she will think of it as an invitation to some forbidden bond,’ I thought anxiously.Lucien? What about him? Will he help? Why did he do this in the first place?Was he… jealous of mine and Lucien's interaction? No, why would he be?“Huff,”Rubbing my temples, my mind was barely functioning, unsure what to consider his demeanor towards me.Noticing my vexation, Lesley asked monotonously while working on her laptop.“What happened, Garnet?”“Nothing. I am missing Eri. I am thinking of paying her a visit.” I made up an excuse.I knew if I had told her about the interaction, she would give me terribly wrong advice like- let him tempt you or something.“Yeah, you should, she must be missing you a lot,” She hummed, tapping her fingers rapidly on th
