18 vengeance

The venue was engulfed in shock and fear. Knowingly or unknowingly, Aaron had messed up the atmosphere. This time, it was Aaron who slapped Allyssa and swiftly intervened. He scooped Elaina up into his arms, ensuring she was standing upright and safe from further harm. His protective gesture sent a clear message that he wouldn't tolerate anyone harming her.

As the events unfolded, Casper remained in a state of confusion, trying to process everything that had just transpired. The sudden appearance of Mr. Kingsford, Allyssa's father, added another layer of tension to the situation.

Mr. Kingsford, clearly furious and protective of his daughter, rushed to the scene to care for her. His anger was palpable as he angrily accused, "How dare you slap my daughter for this cheap Indian girl?" His words cut through the air, revealing the depth of his anger and his misunderstanding of the situation.

The room remained charged with emotions and confusion, with no various individuals grappling with their own reactions to the unexpected altercation.

The commotion had attracted the attention of others, including Austin and Myra, who rushed to the scene. However, the focus remained on Mr. Kingsford, who was deeply concerned for his daughter, Allyssa. She was still in shock and overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, including anger and humiliation.

Her mind churned with bitterness, and a sense of vengeance brewed within her. The humiliation she had experienced in front of a room full of witnesses filled her with a desire for revenge. In that moment, it seemed as if she would stop at nothing to settle the score with those who had seen her receive that painful slap from Aaron. The atmosphere in the room remained tense and charged with unresolved emotions.

In the midst of the tense atmosphere, Aaron took control of the situation. He firmly pulled Elaina into his embrace, shielding her from further harm, and then raised his index finger in a commanding gesture, accompanied by a raised eyebrow. His message was crystal clear: SILENCE OR DON'T RAISE YOUR VOICE.

The room, already filled with unease, fell into a hushed stillness as Aaron's dark and authoritative aura radiated through the space. Even Mr. Kingsford, in his fury, couldn't help but be momentarily taken aback by Aaron's imposing demeanor. It was a powerful display of dominance that left everyone present with no choice but to heed his unspoken command.

Austin and Myra, recognizing the gravity of the situation, quickly apologized together, expressing their regret to Mr. Kingsford. Meanwhile, Mr. Kingsford, still in a state of fear due to Aaron's imposing demeanor, stammered as he hugged his daughter, Allyssa. In a trembling voice, he voiced his intentions, saying, "I was supposed to talk to you about the wedding of Aaron and Allyssa, so we could strengthen the bond between our families and businesses. But your son is infatuated with this maid-like woman."

The revelation of Aaron's feelings for Elaina added another layer of complexity to an already tense situation, as it seemed to jeopardize the carefully planned union between the two influential families. The atmosphere remained fraught with uncertainty and unresolved issues.

“Mind your language when you are speaking about MY WIFE!” Aaron's voice, sharp and thunderous, echoed through the party hall, instantly silencing the room. His declaration, defending Elaina as his wife, left everyone in a state of shock. Mouths hung open, and gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd as they absorbed the unexpected revelation. The tension in the room escalated, and the atmosphere grew even more charged with emotion and uncertainty.

It seems like Elaina was pleasantly surprised by Aaron's acceptance, and she had a hard time believing it.

Elaina's mouth hung open, and she couldn't take her eyes off Aaron as he not only announced her as his wife but also issued a protective warning against anyone who might harm or speak ill of her.

“What the fuck?” Mr. Kingsford was deeply shocked and stared at Myra and Austin, exclaiming, "She is his wife, and you kept it a secret?"

Allyssa was still processing the pain from the slap when Mr. Kingsford warned Mr. Black, "You'll have to pay for that slap." He then left the party with his daughter, leaving behind a veiled threat. It was clear to Austin that this incident could potentially harm the family's reputation and business, as Mr. Kingsford was as influential as the Black family.

Aaron looked at his assistant. His gestured was enough to end up the party. He announced, “Take everyone home.”

As everyone left the party venue, including Peter and his family, they arrived at the Black mansion, all feeling quite worried. Austin was especially tense, fearing that Mr. Kingsford might take some drastic action that could put their family business at risk. The unexpected turn of events had left them all concerned, and there was a lingering fear that the shares of the Black Corporation could plummet overnight.

Elaina was in her room and processing the feelings and incident. A smile curled up on her face. She picked up her phone and started looking for the hidden photos on her phone folder. She whispered promising seeing someone’s photo, “I’m on my eay, dear.”

Elaina retreated to her room, still processing the emotions and events of the evening. A smile appeared on her face as she began to search for hidden photos in a private folder on her phone. Whispering softly to a particular photo, she said, "I'm on my way, dear."

*******

Allyssa's anger had consumed her as she returned home from the party, and she began to throw things around in a fit of rage. The fact that Aaron had slapped her in front of the guests had driven her to madness. She harbored a deep desire for revenge and cursed her father for not retaliating against Aaron. Her thoughts turned sinister as she contemplated harming Aaron and his family.

Allyssa's anger surged like an uncontrollable tempest after the slap from Aaron. Her normally composed demeanor was shattered, replaced by a blazing storm of emotions. Her face turned crimson, her eyes blazed with fury, and her chest heaved with each rapid breath. It was as though a dormant volcano had erupted within her, spewing forth a torrent of rage that consumed all reason and restraint. She was a force of nature, unleashed and untamed, driven by an insatiable thirst for revenge.

“Why were you silent?” Allyssa threw a vase at her father. Mr Kingsford was taken aback by her this behaviour. The vase shattered into thousands of pieces.

“I want that bitch in my dungeon, right now,” Allyssa shouted. Her demand for Elaina to be brought to her dungeon was delivered with such intensity that it sent shockwaves through the mansion. Tensions were escalating rapidly.

After the tumultuous drama that unfolded over several hours, Allyssa's fiery anger eventually subsided, leaving her in a state of quiet despair. She sat on the floor, curled up, hugging her legs to her chest, and tears streamed down her face. She resembled a wounded tigress, her fierce spirit momentarily broken. Mr. Kingsford, her father, sat beside her, attempting to provide comfort and understanding, knowing full well the depth of her pain, yet feeling helpless to alleviate it.

“Calm down,” Mr Kingsford said. Allyssa pushed away his hand from her shoulder. She taunted, “I don’t want a father, who didn't fight for his daughter. If you really feel any care for me, bring her to me. I will rip her clothes and feed her to the street dogs.”

“Mr. Kingsford continued to soothe Allyssa, gently rubbing her back as he whispered, "Sssshhh, we can't confront Aaron Black directly. We must remain silent and let him make the first move. You don't understand him; he's cunning and incredibly dangerous. If he desires, he could dismantle us in a single night." The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on their minds, and caution seemed to be their only recourse.

“What do you wanna say?” Allyssa jumped from her place and barked, “Are we weaker than him?”

Allyssa's determination to seek revenge burned even brighter as she responded, "I can't remain silent. She is the cause of everything that transpired, and she must pay Aaron Black's debt. If she suffers, Aaron will feel the pain too. I want to witness him writhing in agony." Her hand caressed the cheek where Aaron had slapped her, and her aura seemed to darken with every passing moment. The desire for vengeance had consumed her completely.

Allyssa remained unaware of the ominous depths of Aaron's world and the dangers it held. She had no knowledge of his fiercely protective nature when it came to his family. Unbeknownst to her, she was unwittingly rushing headlong into a silent thunderstorm, unaware of its true power until she took the first step.
