Revenge: Rising Beyond the Tempest Chapter 45: The Decision
When Adam arrived home that night, the first thing that hit the air was the smell of whiskey trailing behind him. His mother, seated on the couch with her glasses perched on the bridge of her nose, was watching the evening news when she heard the door open. She turned sharply, frowning as her eyes landed on him.“Where are you coming back from smelling like shit?” she asked, her tone clipped with disapproval. “You reek of alcohol, Adam.”He ignored her question entirely and walked toward her with unsteady steps, his shirt half untucked. “Mum,” he began, his voice low but firm, “I just want to inform you that I’m going to wed Barbra this week, Saturday.”The remote fell from her hand without her even realizing it. Her mouth hung open slightly as she studied him, wondering if she heard him right. “What did you just say?” she asked, blinking rapidly.Adam dropped onto the couch opposite her, rubbing his temples. “You heard me, Mum. I’m marrying Barbra on Saturday.”She stared at him i
Revenge: Rising Beyond the Tempest Chapter 44: The Golden Idea
Adam sat alone in the dimly lit executive lounge, his tall glass of whiskey gleaming faintly under the amber light. A full bottle rested on the polished table before him, half-empty from his restless pouring. The air was thick with the scent of liquor and cigar smoke, yet nothing dulled the storm inside him. He swirled the drink slowly, staring blankly at the amber liquid as though searching for answers in its reflection.His mind wandered back to his last conversation with Mr. Denmark Scott — Barbra’s father. The man’s words had been calm, measured, but they had sliced through his pride like blades. “When you marry my daughter, you’ll have what you’ve always wanted. Until then, don’t come asking me for favors.” The memory replayed vividly, and Adam’s jaw clenched. He downed the whiskey in one rough gulp, the burn spreading down his throat but failing to ease the ache in his chest.Then came the thought he dreaded most — Celine. Her name echoed in his head like a curse he couldn’t
Revenge: Rising Beyond the Tempest Chapter 43: Chaos In The House
The atmosphere in the living room was thick with tension, the kind that seemed to press down on the chest until breathing became a struggle. Alex stood still, stunned by the sudden storm unfolding before his eyes. Just a few days ago, peace had finally returned to the house. Melissa and Celine had begun to get along, laughing together, sharing quiet conversations, even helping his grandmother. Now, watching Melissa’s face twisted with rage and bitterness, he couldn’t understand what had gone wrong.“Alex, I said she has to leave this house!” Melissa shouted, pointing a trembling finger at Celine. Her voice cracked, and her eyes were wet, but there was more venom than tears in them.Celine stood still, her back straight, her face pale but calm. Inside, she was anything but calm. Her heart raced, her hands trembled at her sides, and confusion clouded her mind. She didn’t understand how everything had changed so fast. The same woman who had smiled at her days ago now looked at her
Revenge: Rising Beyond the Tempest Chapter 42: A Line Crossed
Martins staggered back, clutching his cheek, fury burning through the humiliation in his eyes. “You dare slap me?” he spat, stepping forward like he wanted to prove he still had control.I didn’t move away. My fingers found the knife lying on the counter, and before I could think twice, I gripped it tightly, raising it between us. My hand didn’t tremble. My voice was cold, firm, the kind of calm that frightens men like him.“Take one more step,” I said, my gaze locked on him, “and I swear, I will make you pay.”For a moment, silence swallowed the kitchen. His nostrils flared; anger twitched in his jaw, but I didn’t blink. I didn’t flinch. I stood tall, every breath steady even though my heart was pounding against my ribs. He muttered something ugly under his breath, trying to look brave, but my unshaken stance forced him back. When his eyes dropped to the knife still glinting in my hand, I saw fear flicker across his face.He backed off.I stood there, still gripping the knife, wat
Revenge: Rising Beyond the Tempest Chapter 41: Boundaries
Celine hesitated on the threshold, the house quiet behind her and the memory of Martins’s words still sharp in her ears. She had come to Alex’s home out of pity for a frail old woman who had claimed her as a daughter, and because the promise of money had been a lifeline. Yet tonight the shame and accusation from Martins almost undid everything.She turned to Alex, her jaw tight. “I will stay,” she said finally, her voice low but deliberate. “But know this: one more humiliation, one more attempt to drag me through the dirt in this house or anywhere else, and I leave for good. No more second chances.”Alex’s face softened. He stepped forward and took her hand briefly. “I promise,” he said. “I will protect you. I won’t let anyone do that to you here.”Celine nodded. She was not staying for him; she was staying because his grandmother had already opened a small space of warmth in a heart that had been hammered raw, and because she could not refuse the old woman peace. That was enough
Revenge: Rising Beyond the Tempest Chapter 40: The Accusation
The room went silent after Martins’ words, thick with tension and disbelief. Celine stood frozen where she was, her pulse hammering in her ears. The humiliation burned inside her chest like fire. She could feel everyone’s eyes on her, the same way the world had once watched her life crumble. “Martins!” Melissa snapped, turning to her boyfriend with a glare sharp enough to cut through the air. “What’s wrong with you? You don’t just throw accusations like that!” Martins shrugged, unbothered. “I’m not accusing her. I’m stating facts,” he said, his tone unapologetic. Melissa’s voice softened, curiosity sneaking in despite her anger. “But… is that true?” she asked quietly, glancing at Celine, who still hadn’t moved. Before Celine could respond, Alex’s voice thundered across the room. “Enough!” He faced Martins, his eyes cold. “You really think every nonsense you see online is true? You read gossip and suddenly you’re an investigator?” Martins crossed his arms, unmoved. “I’m telling
