After his phone call with his grandmother, Ethan sat on the edge of the hospital bed, gazing at Sherah. His voice was calm yet unwavering.

"Yes, I was referring to you."

Sherah slowly pulled the blanket down from her face, revealing her cheeks flushed a deep shade of red. Her wide eyes locked onto his. "Why would you say that to your grandmother?" she asked, curiosity flickering in her gaze. It was as if she wanted—needed—him to say that he meant it. That wasn’t just a passing remark.

Ethan didn’t hesitate. "Because it’s true," he admitted, his tone unwavering. "She wants me to settle down, to start a family, and the moment I saw you… I found you interesting." He uttered a convincing lie.

Sherah’s jaw nearly dropped. A whirlwind of emotions swirled inside her—confusion, disbelief, maybe even frustration. But instead of confronting them, she burst into laughter. A deep, uncontrollable laugh that made her eyes glisten with unshed tears.

"You’re joking, right?" she man

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 21 - Meeting Grandma (Flashback)

    After three days in the hospital, Sherah was finally discharged. From that moment on, Ethan continued to shower her with affection. Love bombing her in every way he could. He showered her with gifts, time, and affection. All the good words and the right efforts.Open the door for her. Held her hand while walking.Stared at her with calculated affection.When they left the hospital, he drove her to an upscale boutique to completely revamp her wardrobe. He dressed her in luxury—fancy dresses, expensive jewelry, designer shoes she had only ever seen in magazines, and Italian handcrafted handbags. All she could do was accept the gifts, but deep down, a heavy feeling settled in her chest. "Am I a gold digger?" She wondered. She had nothing to give him in return, yet he kept giving her everything. By lunchtime, they dined at a five-star French restaurant. The opulent décor screamed wealth, making her feel out of place the moment she stepped inside. Her unease only grew when she saw t

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 22 - The Placeholder (Flashback)

    The Next Day Ethan woke up around eight in the morning, feeling more refreshed than he had in weeks. A full eight hours of sleep had become a rare luxury for him. Instinctively, he reached to the other side of the bed to check on Sherah, but she was no longer there. Curious, he made his way downstairs and found her outside in the garden with his grandmother. They were tending to the roses, chatting softly.He couldn't quite make out what Sherah was saying, but her head was lowered, making him wonder if his grandmother was scolding her. However, that thought quickly disappeared when he saw his grandmother tuck a freshly picked rose behind Sherah’s ear with a warm smile. Then, he heard Sherah’s soft, trembling voice, "Grandma, you and Ethan are the kindest people I have ever met. If this is a dream, I hope I never wake up."Mrs. Farwell's face softened, her eyes glistening and it solidified her stance to push Ethan and Sherah together. "A lovely soul like this is what my grandson nee

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 23 - Married Life (Flashback)

    Sophia did not take his father's words seriously and stayed abroad even after he tried his very best to bring her back. Without any reaction from the Hawke family after Ethan sends photo after photo and more proof that he’d been dating Sherah his plans slowly get derailed and his annoyance is obvious. That slowly affected his working environment. He nearly lost his temper in one of the meetings when he received another image from Brooke. Another photo of Sophia partying this time in a yacht. His grip tightened around his phone, his jaw clenched. Everyone in the room could feel the shift in his mood. Before he could explode, his friend James—who was also part of the Farwell Group's legal team—exchanged glances with Secretary Noel and nudged Ethan to take a break. On that lunch break, Ethan returned to his office only to find Sherah waiting for him. When he saw her he felt conflicted but he couldn’t bring his bad temper around her. “What brings you here?” He asked. She

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 24 - Sherah's Resolved

    Presently…It was Sherah's 26th birthday and Ethan had left the country without even greeting her. While Eliot who she had known for only a month had wished her a happy birthday the moment the clock struck midnight. Even Grandma had sent her a cake that morning.Later, Eliot invited her to drop by the hospital, saying he had a gift for her. Though hesitant, Sherah agreed, wanting to personally thank him for everything he had done.As the day progressed, greetings from the maids and Farwell employees who knew her contact information started to pour in. Their greetings and appreciation warmed her heart but it was not enough as she still longed for her husband and the things he used to do for her. He used to wake her up with a birthday cake at midnight while singing Happy Birthday.Sherah had finished gathering all her belongings and already called a moving van to send her things to a storage unit. Shortly, she walked into the Farwell Group’s towering headquarters, her expression unreada

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 25 - Eliot's Gift

    After more than 24 hours on the plane, Ethan had arrived in Perth, Australia.He set his suitcase down in his hotel room, rolling his shoulders as exhaustion settled in. The long flight had done little to clear his mind, and as he unzipped his luggage, he let out a quiet sigh. He pulled out his neatly folded suits, crisp shirts, and underwear—everything seemed to be in place.Until he reached for his scarves.His brows furrowed. They weren’t there. The maid must have forgotten to pack them. Annoyed, he ran a hand through his hair, but the frustration quickly turned into something else—something heavier. It wasn’t just the scarves. He felt that he had forgotten something much more important but was unsure what it was. A strange unease settled in his chest, gnawing at him, though he couldn’t quite place it. The air in the room felt different, colder, emptier. He sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the open suitcase as if it held the answer.Then, his phone buzzed.Ethan glanced a

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 26 - Memory of Pain, Jealousy, and Betrayal.

    In Perth, AustraliaEthan’s hand trembled as he stared at his phone, his reflection barely visible against the dark screen.His jaw clenched in frustration as Eliot’s soft, gentle voice replayed in his mind.~Smile for me, birthday girl.~A bitter scoff left his lips. "It’s already 1 in the morning in New York. Why are they still together?" He questioned while thinking of something obscene and the idea left a sour taste in his mouth. He crossed his arms, his chest tightening at the realization. "So that’s why she didn’t even bother to check on me. Not even a simple ‘Did you arrive safely in Australia?’ Nothing. She wasn’t even mad that I had forgotten to greet her. Was it because she no longer cared?"He exhaled sharply, gripping the phone tighter. “She’s too busy celebrating… with the doctor.” His voice was laced with venom, his teeth gritting as his frustration boiled over.With a deep frown, he sent a message to Brooke. Find out everything you can about Eliot."I should have done

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 27 - The Blaming Game

    Sherah’s offer for Harlene to stay for dessert lingered in the air, thickening the already tense atmosphere with each passing second.Instead of relief, Harlene felt like she had been slap in the face."I called her a whore, yet instead of lashing out, she's being kind to me?" she thought while stealing a glance at Eliot. His gaze wasn’t filled with judgment or anger but concern—concern for Sherah.It only made Harlene angrier.Without thinking, she stormed forward, snatched Eliot’s cup of hot coffee, and hurled it at Sherah before turning on her heels and bolting from the restaurant, tears blurring her vision.Sherah gasped as the scalding liquid drenched her clothes, a sharp sting spreading across her skin.Eliot reacted instantly, grabbing a handful of napkins and gently dabbing at her shirt. As he wiped, his eyes widened in alarm at the redness forming on her skin.“You got burned,” he murmured, his brows drawing together in concern. “We need to go to the emergency room and get som

    In Perth, Australia.Ethan sat on a bench in the hospital corridor, exhausted, jet-lagged, and drowning in emotions he couldn’t quite name. He needed space—from Sophia, from everything.His mind was a storm of frustration and confusion. Who deserved his anger and blame? His grandmother, for meddling in his life? Or the woman he had waited for, only for her to leave him behind?A sharp ping interrupted his thoughts. A notification from In$tagram."Sherah Farwell added a new story."Without hesitation, he tapped on it. It's a beautiful portrait of Sherah with Eliot's signature, posed boldly in the corner.Ethan’s grip on his phone tightened. Jealousy consumed him and just like that, he had found the perfect target for all the emotions raging inside him.Before he could think twice, his fingers moved, and started typing. His response was passive-aggressive, edged with bitterness."Seems like you had a blast with the doctor." Back in New York.Sherah could taste the bitterness in Ethan's

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 102 - Ethan's Bold Move

    As days passed, Fallon began to lose her spark—the fire that kept her going started to dwindle.She started returning to her past self and longing for her husband and friends. Her actions left Nathan no option but to tell his mother about it. INSIDE Fallon's room...The curtains remained half-drawn. The once-bright space was now dulled by shadows, the light from outside filtered and gray.Fallon sat at the edge of the bed, still in the clothes she wore yesterday, her gaze unfocused as she stared at nothing in particular.The spark that once made Fallon dangerous, driven, unpredictable—it had thinned. Dimmed. Her posture slumped more with each passing day, the steel in her eyes softening into sorrow.She’d stopped bothering with the little rituals—her coffee grew cold in untouched cups. No more carefully planned vengeance. No more late-night whispers with Nathan about their schemes.MEANWHILE…In Nathan’s home office…Nathan stood by the liquor cabinet, pouring himself a drink with

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 101 - Rumors

    Fallon sleeps restlessly on the bed, her limbs twitching, her breath shallow. Sweat beads on her forehead.She’s having a dream, or more to say, a nightmare. She is seated across from Ethan at an elegant table. He’s in a tailored suit, polished and charming—too charming. He’s smiling at her, but there’s something hollow behind his eyes.She reaches for his hand, but he retracts it.Ethan smiled faintly, “You knew this wasn’t real, right?” He pointed out.Fallon frowns—the lighting shifts, flickering like a faulty bulb. The surroundings distort—wine glasses melt like wax, and chandeliers bend unnaturally.“What are you talking about?” She asked, her voice cracking with every word. “You were just a distraction. A placeholder… until I didn’t need you anymore,” he explains, grinning. "Because she's back."He stands and walks away.At the far end of the restaurant, Sophia appears, her hand laced tightly with his. They kiss passionately. Fallon staggers backward, knocking over her wine gl

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 100 - The Elevator

    Ethan’s hands are clenched. His nose flared in irritation as he walked back to his office.He was just about to dismiss the earlier incident as nothing more than a coincidence, but Nathan’s words irritated him so much that there was a part of him wishing that Nathan was the person behind it, so he'd have a reason to punish him. He angrily and mindlessly strode the hallway to his office when he bumped into Sophia, who was holding documents for him to sign. She followed him into his office, watching intently as he reviewed the papers. She admired his calm focus, the way his fingers moved across the text. He noticed her staring and looked up. She blushed. He smiled faintly.By the time he finished, it was lunchtime. Sophia invited him to eat, and he agreed—but suggested they order takeout and eat in the conference room.They found Nathan, Oliver, the head of the finance department, and his secretary, Analise, already eating inside.Nathan waved and gestured to them. “Lovebirds! Come si

    Noel was busy photocopying important documents for the afternoon meeting when he heard Nathan's voice nearby, speaking in hushed tones on the phone to a woman.Fallon and Nathan were talking about their plans for tomorrow when Nathan felt someone’s presence near him. His eyes sharpened, and his movements became cautious."I’ve been so stressed lately. Can you come visit me here? I want to be with you every second of every day," he says playfully, abruptly changing the topic.Fallon laughs. She understood the sudden change in Nathan’s tone meant someone was nearby. “You’re disgusting.” She replied. Noel couldn’t hear the woman’s response, but Nathan’s tone was unmistakably affectionate."I know, I know… But what can I do? I miss you so much," Nathan said louder than necessary, just enough for Noel to hear. He knew Noel would tell Ethan everything he did.He was slowly planting whispers about Fallon. Each mention was deliberate, woven gently into conversation, like a memory everyone

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 98 - She Returns

    It was Nathan’s first day as the official Chief Legal Officer (CLO). He arrived early, arms full of carefully packed boxes, his blue eyes gleaming with excitement and purpose. As he stepped out of the elevator and crossed the marble floor toward his office, every head turned.Whispers stirred the air behind him like a rising storm.The female staff, in particular, exchanged curious, admiring glances and whispered about the tall, blonde stranger. Their excitement crumbled quickly when someone muttered the news that he was married and off-limits. Disappointment spread like a wildfire.Nathan didn’t care. Attention was nice—it fed his ego—but today, he had greater ambition.He intended to honor Grandma’s faith in him, slowly sink his roots deeper into the Farwell Group, and gradually lead it to its end. He was arranging the last few frames on his desk when Noel knocked and entered, carrying a small black box."A welcome gift," Noel said with a polite smile, setting down a bottle of deep

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 97 - Phase 4

    SOMEWHERE in New York…A Delta Tech employee’s hand trembled slightly as he dialed the number, glancing over his shoulder to ensure no one was watching. His voice was low and hushed, as if speaking too loudly might make the darkness of the room swallow him whole."We’ve done what you asked. I expect the other half of the payment—"Before he could finish the sentence, a sharp ping sliced through the silence, the sound so sudden it almost felt like a warning. His eyes snapped to his phone, and a chill ran down his spine as he saw the notification:100 million dollars deposited into Delta Tech.A grin spread across his face, slick and dangerous. "Pleasure doing business with you, Madam," he muttered, the words laced with satisfaction.Without any response from the other side, the call ended with a cold finality, the line going dead. The man’s grip tightened on the phone, the weight of what had just transpired settling deep in his bones.He lingered in the silence for a moment, the quiet

    “So why the eyes?” Nathan asked, pouring deep red wine into Fallon’s glass, the bottle tilting casually. It was a small, private celebration of their quiet triumph.Fallon’s smile was unsettling as she twirled the glass, inhaling the rich scent of the wine. Her voice was low, almost tender in its malice.“Because I hated how he looked at me that day... in that filthy alleyway.” She stared into the swirling liquid as if she could see the memory reflected there.“I begged. I reached out my hand for help... and all he did was stare at me, disgusted. Those judgmental, arrogant green eyes looked at me like I was filth. Like my existence wasn’t worth the dirt under his shoes. Now...” she raised her glass slightly, as if in a dark toast, “those eyes are nothing more than trophies. And Sebastian? He's nothing but a discarded footnote in this narrative.”She took a slow sip, letting the bitterness sit on her tongue, savoring it.“You know...” she continued, her voice softening, “it’s not easy

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 95 - Allan Carter

    NATHAN entered their Manhattan home, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow with a study and a garage that could hold three cars. The house stood behind tall, secure gates.He whistled triumphantly, savoring the memory of Ethan’s face as he delivered the hard truth and walked away."You sound extremely happy today. Care to share what happened at dinner with the Farwells?" Fallon's voice floated from another room.Nathan stopped whistling and tossed his keys onto the console table by the door. He didn’t bother turning on the lights as he made his way to the living room, his shoes clicking softly against the polished wood floors.Silence stretched between them.Fallon, sensing something was off, stepped out cautiously, gripping a baseball bat in her hands — just in case.But instead of an intruder, she was greeted by Nathan’s low, rumbling laughter.With a flick of the switch, warm light flooded the room, revealing Nathan sprawled lazily on the sofa — his mouth swollen and bruised, a mis

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 94 - Farwell Manor

    Ethan arrived at his grandmother’s house and parked beside a familiar white Porsche. He glanced inside, spotting a pair of women’s shoes and a man’s coat tossed carelessly in the backseat.Carrying an expensive bottle of wine, he stepped into the manor. Laughter echoed from the living room—his grandmother and Nathan. The sound stirred something in him. Since Sherah’s death, the house had been silent, cloaked in mourning. But now, hearing her laugh again—because of Nathan—softened Ethan, if only slightly.“Maybe I’ll let him live,” he thought dryly.“Grandma,” he greeted with a faint smile that didn’t reach his hollow eyes.“Ah! There you are. You’re late,” she scolded.Nathan chuckled at the remark. He finds it ironic. The three of them sat down for dinner.“When will Fallon visit again?” Madam Farwell asked Nathan. The question was casual—affectionate.Ethan’s thoughts froze. “Grandma knows the Porsche girl?”Nathan looked at the elderly woman, now in her eighties, and replied, “She
