Back at their table, Harlene and Sherah settled back into their seats, their faces a mix of relief and anxiety.

Sherah leaned in and whispered, "I’m pregnant," and Eliot's face lit up as he immediately congratulated her.

Just then, Sherah’s phone buzzed, almost making her jump off of her seat. Her phone displayed a call from Ethan. Her eyes widened, and she glanced nervously at Eliot and Harlene. "Why is he calling me?" she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "Did he already know?" she added, panic edging into her tone.

Harlene reached over and squeezed her hand gently. "Of course not—it’s just a weird coincidence," she said assuringly.

Eliot then leaned forward, offering quietly, "Do you want me to answer the call for you?" Sherah shook her head firmly, her voice steadier now as she replied, "No, I'll let it go to voicemail. Let's have dessert." The moment hung in the air, heavy with unspoken worries.

But soon, they shifted their focus to the comforting idea of sweet treats

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 40 - Harlene's Suggestion

    Inside the bustling corridors of New York Medical Hospital, Eliot navigated the sterile hallways with a box of freshly baked muffins and brewed coffee. He found Harlene in her office, tucked away from the frantic pace of the emergency ward. With a gentle smile, he knocked to get her attention."May I enter, Dr. Campbell?" he asked politely while showing the box of muffins and a cup of coffee to her.Harlene cheeks turned red, and she immediately gestured for him to enter. He set the cup down before her. All smiles while asking, “Morning, Harlene. How are you settling into the new office? Are you finding your rhythm here?”Harlene looked up from her stack of patient files and returned his smile, though her eyes betrayed a hint of fatigue. “I’m doing alright, Dr. Carlisle."Both of them chuckle as they are acting too formal in front of each other. "It’s a lot to take in, but I’m gradually adjusting,” she replied, taking a sip of the coffee. After a brief pause, her tone softened as s

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 41 - Web of Lies

    Ethan stood in front of Sophia's hospital room, a bouquet of red roses in his hand, jaw tight with frustration. Silas and Rebecca had spent the entire morning feeding him a story about Sherah’s supposed vengeful attack on Sophia. They painted her as unhinged, violent, and incapable of letting go. A part of him doubted it, but they kept on guilt-tripping him using Sophia and their interrupted love story, urging him to protect their daughter no matter what.“Isn’t Sherah a member of their family too?” he said to himself as he entered Sophia’s room. He saw the bandage on her nose and a cast on her leg. She looks frail and delicate.Sophia stared at him with her pitiful puppy dog eyes she always uses whenever she wants attention and it worked. “Are you okay?” he asks as he places the red roses he brought on the bedside table.She nodded, then lowered her head and proceeded to cry.Ethan instantly moved closer to her worry written all over his face. “Do your injuries hurt? Do you want me

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 42 - Sean

    While walking to the OB-GYN department, Sherah’s stomach was in knots. She felt someone was watching her. She turned around but saw no one.Ethan was able to hide in one of the pillars.Eliot sensed her unease, held her hand, and led her inside, guiding her to a private wing where Harlene was already waiting.Ethan saw everything, and he was not happy about it. “Is Sherah…and Eliot...” He paused mid-sentence and covered his mouth. Inside the private wing.“Sherah,” Harlene greeted warmly, giving her a reassuring nod. “Come on in.”The room was comfortable and private—exactly what she needed. Sherah lay on the examination bed as Harlene prepped the ultrasound machine. The moment the cool gel touched her lower abdomen, a shiver ran through her.“Alright, let’s take a look,” Harlene said softly, moving the probe gently across Sherah’s belly.Eliot stood beside her, hands in his pockets, his expression unreadable. Then, after a few moments of scanning, Harlene’s face softened. “There it

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 43 - Sophia's Retaliation

    ~I’ve been on… dating apps…~~One-night stands~~I hope I'll get a baby out of it.~Sherah’s words haunted Ethan. He can’t handle the idea of Sherah being intimate with other men. He expects her to wait at least a year before getting into a new relationship but seems like she’s too impatient to start a new life without him.He held his forehead, racking his brains out on how to deal with it. He didn’t want Sherah to flaunt herself like a cheap whore, but he knew there was nothing he could do about it.He’s in deep thought when suddenly he receives a call from Silas. He didn’t answer the call and let it go to voicemail. After several minutes, he played the voicemail and Silas' words gave him an idea.Ethan gasped and then smirked as the voice message continued to play in the background. He found the perfect opportunity to take care of Sherah’s questionable dating plans.CONCURRENTLY…In the New York Medical Hospital Intensive Care Unit. The scent of antiseptic and fresh blood lingers

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 44 - Caged

    The cold steel bars of the holding cell pressed against Sherah’s back as she exhaled sharply, her mind racing. The accusations against her were outrageous—Sophia had attacked first, and now she was the victim, and those injuries she suffered were exaggerated. Sherah knew too well that the leg injury was an extreme fabrication to bend the truth.It was beyond frustrating. The officers seemed to isolate her from other police personnel. They haven’t logged her name on any documents. No paperwork was being processed.On top of that, they haven’t taken her side of the story. Worse, her attempt to post bail had been denied. Something was wrong. Someone was pulling strings.Outside the station, Ethan smirked as he ended his last call. Everything was going according to plan. Keeping Sherah under police custody, away from Eliot, and random men she might date was a stroke of luck he intended to fully exploit. He'd ensured her bail request was denied, leaving her trapped in a place where she co

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 45 - Never Ending Schemes

    In California...Eliot stepped out of the cab. His heart raced with anticipation as he navigated the bustling hotel lobby, his mind solely focused on the doctors' convention ahead—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to absorb cutting-edge medical innovations. Clad in a crisp suit and carrying his hastily prepared suitcase, he barely noticed the hurried pace of fellow doctors' luggage in hand.After he checked in, he got into his room and dropped his suitcase. He immediately made his way to the hotel’s conference area.Arriving at the sprawling convention center, Eliot’s eyes widened at the sight of modern architecture, vibrant banners, and an endless stream of brilliant minds discussing the future of medicine. Every step he took was fueled by the promise of new knowledge and professional growth. As he joined a group of enthusiastic colleagues at the registration desk, he exchanged nods and eager greetings, his focus unbroken by any lingering distractions from New York.In a quiet moment

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 46 - Crisis Averted

    5 hours ago…Officer Daniels, freshly out of the police academy, could vividly remember receiving a call from an unknown number. “It’s simple Officer. You need money, I want something done.” Rebecca’s voice is stern and dangerous.The moment those words were spoken, the officer received $150,000 on his account. When he saw the money, his face turned pale. “Who is this?” He questioned as he glanced around the precinct, checking if someone was pranking him testing his loyalty. “It's unimportant. The other half will be sent after the task is done.” Her voice is commanding and harsh. Officer Daniels didn’t want anything to do with it, but, given the situation he was in, he needed the money for his son, who was suffering from a life-threatening illness and needed surgery as soon as possible.Officer Daniels swallowed his pride and ego for his son. “I’m listening.”Rebecca smirked, “There’s a woman inside the Police Station. Her name is Sherah Farwell and I want her dead.” Her voice is

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 47 - Harlene Campbell

    Chuckles and light conversations filled the Hawke residence as Rebecca shared a few of Sophia’s childhood stories over dinner.She giggles, “When Sophia was six years old, she told a boy that he could only date her if Silas approved of him. She’s too young, but she thinks like a mature woman. Not like other women out there. Will give themselves to the first guy who will make them feel special.” She expressed as she put a dig on Sherah. “Mom, you’re embarrassing me.” Sophia blurted out while patting Ethan’s hand. “Ethan might think I’m weird.”Rebecca extended her hand and patted Sophia, “I’m just telling the truth, dear.” Ethan grinned but glee didn’t reach his eyes.“Our Sophia always thinks like a fine lady,” Silas chimed in. Ethan nods perfunctorily with a slight grin on his face. At first, he enjoyed the stories Rebecca was sharing, but the more she spoke, the more he felt like it was a dig at Sherah.And the way they pictured Sophia as a mature fine lady did not sit well with

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 106 - Amadeus's resolve

    Fallon moved through her day like a ghost, efficient, poised, unreadable. By the time the sun dipped behind the cold New York skyline, she had locked herself inside Nathan’s private office, the room softly humming with surveillance feeds from Nathan's CLO office.She navigated through hours of recorded footage. Most of it was mundane: meetings, empty chairs, Nathan pacing during late calls. It was a safety measure, those hidden cameras, installed not to spy but to guard. Guard their secrets.Until something caught her eye.The timestamp was weeks old. The sound is grainy. The footage showed Ethan walking, tense, brisk, and demanding.“Two scoops of coffee, one scoop of cream, two scoops of sugar.”Fallon didn’t realize the words had left her mouth until they did.“Two scoops of coffee, one scoop of cream, two scoops of sugar…”She laughed softly.“You forgot to tell him the temperature.”Her voice dropped to a whisper.“It should be exactly 200 Fahrenheit, so the coffee will be strong

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 105 - What if?

    After the incident at the boutique, Sophia grew unexpectedly attached to Fallon.What began as gratitude slowly turned into dependency—an instinctive pull toward the calm, poised woman who had rescued her from her own spiraling fear. Fallon had barely said a word during that terrifying ordeal, yet her presence was steady, grounding. In the days that followed, Sophia clung to her like a shadow.She brought Fallon everywhere…To the mall, to wine tastings, and every last-minute errand involved in the exhausting orchestration of the Farwell-Hawke wedding. An event that doesn't even have a date yet.Fallon even accompanied her to pick out the centerpieces for the imagined reception tables, patiently sifting through color palettes and floral arrangements with a soft, distant smile.Oddly, not once did Ethan join them.Each time his absence was mentioned, Sophia would try to wave it off with a laugh or a shrug. But the shadow in her eyes always gave her away.Fallon didn’t mind.Not because

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 104 - Renewed Determination

    The classical music had long since stopped, but Sophia was far from recovered.Fallon and Nathan returned to the store, playing the role of concerned bystanders.Fallon’s performance was flawless—too flawless. She stepped into the fitting room, where Sophia sat half-naked in the corner, cowering, covering her ears, rocking herself back and forth.“I’m in a safe place.”“Safe place.”“I’m in a safe place.” She keeps repeating to herself like it is her mantra. “Are you okay, sister?” Fallon mumbled, pinching her elbow to suppress her laughter. “What happened? Let me help you.” Her voice was so sweet you could get diabetes.She then helps Sophia to put on her clothes. “Do you want me to call an ambulance or at least your parents?” Nathan asks through the hallway, his voice laced with concern, but his face is filled with amusement.“NO…”“NO… Don’t…” She yelled as she clung tightly to Fallon as if her life depended on her.Fallon held Sophia’s cold, trembling hand and began patting her b

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 103 - Sisters

    Weeks had passed since Fallon’s descent into chaos.With Madam Kingsley’s harsh method, Fallon picked up the shattered pieces of herself the way she always does, quietly, methodically.The change was slow, suffocating, and silent.Her thoughts had been trapped in a web of nightmares, haunting memories, and flickers of guilt she no longer knew how to name. But that phase is over now. Her silence had ended.Today is a new day for a new plan.She stood in front of the floor-length mirror, dressed in black with an elegance and grace that conveys sophistication. Her eyes no longer looked hollow, they looked focused. Ruthless. The bruise on her lip had faded, but the lesson had not. Nathan hadn’t spoken of it again, nor had she. Some things didn’t need repeating.Fallon applied her lipstick slowly. A blood-red shade that suited her new resolve. Then she lit a cigarette, a habit she adopted while picking up her shattered self.She then walked toward the room at the end of the hallway where

  • 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 gla

  • 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 sit

  • Revenge Becomes Her   CHAPTER 99 - The Project Meeting

    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 t

    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
