Revenge Was The Deal, Mr Wrath. 20: Who is She?
→ Oscar ←I stormed into the estate and headed straight for my bedroom, slamming the door behind me hard enough to make the walls vibrate."That bastard, Kieran!"I slammed my fist into the wall, barely feeling the pain that shot through my knuckles as I glared at the spot where my hand had landed.Kieran fucking Vincenzo. What a wild way to answer that woman's surname. Did she know about this?Why the hell had that bastard born out of wedlock decided to show his face now?He should have stayed hidden, just as he had all these years. He should have continued living whatever miserable life he'd chosen for himself instead of coming back to Westervale and interfering in matters that had absolutely nothing to do with him.But no. The bastard had to return, and he couldn't even have the decency to do it politely.He had walked into that auction, outbid everyone without blinking, and taken the land we had spent weeks preparing to acquire. A billion dollars. He had spent a fucking billio
Revenge Was The Deal, Mr Wrath. 19: The Plan
→ Kieran ←I arrived at the private villa, one of my minor properties in Westervale, with the satisfaction of knowing that everything had gone exactly as I had planned.Securing the land was the primary objective, but having William and Oscar show up in person had been a wildcard I hadn't anticipated.My initial plan was to outbid everyone at the auction and let the national broadcast do the rest. The event was being televised live, which meant William would inevitably watch me return to Westervale in real time, whether he wanted to or not.I had imagined his reaction when he discovered that I was the man who had bought the land he desperately wanted, but seeing him sitting there with Oscar and Theodore while I dropped a billion on their target had been even more satisfying than I expected.As I stepped through the entryway, the familiar scent of home-cooked food drifted down the hallway, and I found myself relaxing before I even reached the dining room."There's my baby boy!"Mom dro
Revenge Was The Deal, Mr Wrath. 18: The Confrontation.
→ Lena ← Kieran said we were headed to this auction to make our first public appearance as a couple, especially to the Devereauxs, but buying a piece of land worth one billion was far too much. What was he thinking? If I knew this was his plan, I would have talked him out of it.That wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was the fact that the land was registered in my name! I was still holding his arm as he spoke to someone on the phone, talking about meeting her when the night was over.Who's thos her?We walked out of the auction hall into the polished marble lobby, only to find Oscar, William, and Theodore waiting like sentinels. They really couldn't wait to see us, huh?"And the prodigal son returns!" William sneered, stepping forward.Silence stretched through the lobby. I froze, my hand tightening slightly on Kieran’s sleeve as confusion flickered through me. Son?It's pretty obvious that there's a lot of things Kieran hasn't told me about himself, especially what he ha
Revenge Was The Deal, Mr Wrath. 17: The Auction
.. Six Months Later.. → Oscar ← Six months was all it took for my life to finally look the way it was supposed to. I stood in front of the mirror fixing my cufflinks while Naomi sat on the edge of the bed behind me with one hand resting on her stomach. We only found out last week that she was pregnant. The doctor confirmed it on a Thursday and I still hadn’t fully gotten used to the idea of becoming a father, especially with the woman I actually loved and wanted. I watched her through the mirror as she stood up and slowly walked toward me. She wrapped her arms around my waist from behind and rested her cheek against my back. “You’re staring at me again,” she said without looking up away from me. “Can you blame me?” I turned around in her arms. “You’re carrying my child and you keep getting prettier every morning.” She smiled and I leaned down to kiss her. There was no more hiding and no more waiting for the right moment. Agatha was dead and everyone had moved on. The p
Revenge Was The Deal, Mr Wrath. 16: Nightmare
→ Kieran ←“He's only a kid! Please let him back inside!”My mother's voice came from inside the house, but the rain was so loud that I could barely hear her. I was still on my knees, soaked from head to toe, with water running down my face and dripping from my hair. My clothes were heavy from being wet, and I could feel them sticking to my skin.“He’ll stay out there until he learns some manners!” His cruel voice came from somewhere beyond the rain, distant and muffled, but I knew exactly who it was. I knew that voice well enough to feel the fear settling inside me before I even saw him.It was so fucking cold.I tried to move, but my body was shaking too badly. My hands were freezing, and I could barely feel my fingers anymore. My knees hurt from being on the ground, and my teeth were beginning to chatter. I wanted to get up, wanted to go inside. I wanted my mother.I looked toward the house and saw my mother standing behind the glass doors, her face pale as she pressed one hand
Revenge Was The Deal, Mr Wrath. 15: The Deal
→ Agatha ←…Present Time…He still stood in front of me, staring down without saying anything else.What does he mean by congratulations on my funeral?“So you kidnapped me?!” I asked.“In the literal sense, yes, but practically I saved your life. It would have ended pretty badly if you had gotten on that plane,” he said in a low tone.“And how did you know the plane was going to crash? Were you the one responsible for it? Are you working for somebody who wants me dead?” I asked hastily.He looked at me with a coldness that made me uncomfortable. I could not let my guard down. I did not know this man, and the last three months had taught me that I should not trust anyone but myself.“I think it’s clear here who is after your life. That should answer your question.” He turned and walked a few steps away from where I stood by the door.Was it really the Devereaux family again? Oscar? My hand rose on its own and my fingers traced the scars, feeling the roughness beneath them. I became aw
