I saw how my mother struggle just to provide for me. My mother would often go to work and take care of me at the same time. She took the responsibility of being both a mother and a father to me. A mother who takes care of me like feeding me, helping me get dressed, give me a bath and watching over me when I was a baby until I reach the age wherein I can already take care of myself. Apart from that, she shoulder the responsibility as a father since she works to provide for me like food, shelter, to buy me clothes, and sending me to school. She been through a lot of difficulties yet she managed to cope up and surpassed. I admire her so much. But that do not changed the fact that she went through all of these because of an irresponsible man.
I loathe him. He is my own father but I despise that he is my father. I never met him. He abandoned us when he got my mother pregnant. I do not even know his name. I often call him Lucifer because only a devil can do such things that he did to us. Only a ruthless demon can have the nerve to leave someone vulnerable and helpless like my mother.
After all the pleasure, he left, when pain comes in. After the good times he disappear when the bad times came. After the joy he was gone when sorrow comes in. He was there when my mother was at her best but at her worst he was suddenly nowhere to be found. I hate him so much and this hatred motivates me, this resentment gives me strength to live and fight.
I do not trust men. For me, they do not exist. I focused on my studies. I did all my best to make everything easier for my mother and I did succeed when I got a scholarship from an exclusive private school. I was bullied because I was the only poor student in the University. My savior, Jason Belle, who happens to be my classmate in all subjects. We are taking up the same course. He is just an average student but his parents expect a lot from him, I received an offer from his family to be Jason's tutor and they will pay me double. Because of the allowance that I get from the scholarship and my salary from Jason, I get a lot and soon I convinced my mother to stop working.
Years had passed, I finished college and Jason's parents offered me a position in their company as his Executive Assistant. I heartily accept his offer since I really could get along with him. His parents are so kind to me as well. Their family is different from the typical rich family who look down on poor people. They are really good people and working for them is like being with family and they precisely treat me like family.
All my dreams come true. I became a successful woman both in my career and business. I was able to give my mother a convenient life but still something is missing. I am not satisfied with what I have yet. I still want to fulfill something. That is to have my sweet revenge to the man who is responsible in all the heartaches and struggles me and my mother went through. I need to find him.
I will never be at peace if I will not be able to make him pay for everything he did. It is very unfair if he will just get away with it. He needs to suffer triple times from the suffering that my mother and I had experienced. He need to shed tears of blood. I want to see him slowly dying from sorrow. I want to hear him beg for forgiveness that I will never give. I want to see him crawl in the mud while regretting everything he had done.
Unexpectedly, just when I thought fate has been good to me. Everything just get any better when I found out my father’s identity and the best is I find a way how to hurt him in the most painful way and that is through his adopted son. But knowing this information about his adopted son, my hatred on him just grows even bigger.
How could he provide, protect, and take care of someone else who is not his and just forsake his own flesh and blood? How could he not provide for his own child and give the world to a child of someone else’s man? I badly want to kill hiim in my own hands. But of course, an easy death is not what I wanted for him. He should suffer and wished to take his own life because of it.
Whatever his reason is it does not reduced of the anger that I feel for him it even got worse. The hatred that I feel for him for so many years could not be erased. The tears that I shed for so many years has turned into and ocean and I fell it too deep that I can no longer resurface. Then the worst comes into worst. I had my supposed to be sweet revenged, but it turned out to be bitter. It was not the way I expect it to be.
The sweet revenge turned into something tragic. I hurt an innocent man. I hurt both innocent men that I loved so much. When I realized I was wrong, it is too late. How can I ever take back all the hurt that I caused them? Even my own mother was hurt because of all the things that I have done.
I turned into a monster. I turned into a demon. For so many years I refer my father as a monster and an evil, yet it turns out that I was the one who is a monster and a wicked daughter. Yes, I successfully accomplished my mission but it did not turned out the way I wanted it to be. It is not the way I expected. I never thought that I would fall in love with the man that I used as an instrument to hurt my father. When I found out I was in love with him, he also find out my real agenda of getting close to him. Now he hates me. It looks like the illegitimate child’s revenge went wrong.
=Sarsi=Tyler paced back and forth across the polished hardwood floor of his home, the city lights glittering through the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him. One hand clutched his phone while the other raked through his hair with frustration. His jaw was tight, his chest rising and falling in slow, controlled breaths. But his eyes—dark, dangerous—burned with the heat of something he wasn’t used to: restraint.The phone rang again, for the third time. He waited until the final second before he answered.“Jason.”“Tyler,” came the sharp response. “You called. What’s going on?”“You know what’s going on.” Tyler’s voice was cold steel. “Why the hell are you warning Emerald about me?”A beat of silence. Then a low sigh. “Because I know you. Better than anyone. You don’t do relationships. You don’t do commitment. You chew women up and spit them out, and she’s—”“She’s not like the others,” Tyler cut in, voice rising. “She’s not a fling. You think I’d call you just to argue about someone I wasn’t s
CHAPTER 17The fluorescent lights of the university hallway buzzed, a monotonous hum that echoed Tyler's internal chaos. He’d rehearsed this moment a thousand times in his head, each version ending with a slightly less humiliating outcome than the last. He adjusted his tie, a nervous tic he’d picked up from his father (a man who, ironically, never seemed nervous about anything), and smoothed down his already perfectly combed hair.He was never like this before. He never got nervous because of a woman. He has always been a woman magnet wherever he goes and he doesn’t even have to ask them out. It was them who threw themselves at him. Women would always pull every trick they have on their sleeves just to catch his attention. But with Emerald, it’s different. She would barely throw a glance at him as if he is very disgusting to look at. Emerald, speaking of which, she was leaning against the lockers, a stack of books clutched to her chest, her brow furrowed in concentration as she flipp
In a blink of an eye, Emerald’s graduation will be on the next day. Time flew so fast and she was so excited. Not just because of the new chapter of her new life but because she can feel that what she was aiming for is within her reach. She was summoned by their principal and she feel like she was walking on cloud nine as she walked outside the principal’s office. Emerald was the top of her class and she is the valedictorian. That is the reason why she was called. The principal himself informed her about it. Her mother would be very happy with the news.“Hey, congratulations!” Jason was also delighted by the news though he expected it already.“Thanks, Jason.” Emerald smiled. “Let’s celebrate. Your treat this time.” He winked which made Emerald laugh. “Sure.” she replied which stunned Jason. Emerald was always frugal and never spend money if it is not necessary. She laughed at her best friend’s reaction. He knows her very well. She grabbed his hand and took him to the nearest ice c
Chapter 15Now that Emerald got a name, she was very excited. Who would have thought that it was so easy to track down her devil of a father. No, he wasn’t even deserving to be called such. That devil should burn to *lll. She would make sure that he would suffer ten folds than what her and her mother had been through in all those years. All she ever needed was a name, tag Clayton university and voila Emerald saw the male version of her. She looks exactly like him. Her jaw clenched as she saw the man on the screen wearing a suit and tie. There were several pictures of him and all of them were old pictures. Bitterness and anger dwelled inside her as she came up to a family picture of Gerald Clayton, together with his son and wife. She had no idea how to start her vengeance until she saw that happy family of three. An evil grin creeped in Emerald’s cherry lips as an idea came across her mind as if a bulb just lit up on the top of her head. She sneered as she stared at the young teena
Chapter 14Emerald’s heart was racing rapidly like it will come out of her chest anytime. She heaves in a deep breath trying to clam down her nerves. Bullets of sweats on her forehead and her palms are sweating as well. She was really nervous.“Just pull over, here Uncle.” Emerald handed the money to the driver before getting out of the cab.She was dropped by a slummy area. Emerald used to live in such neighborhood so she was not afraid. People looked at her and it was not new to her. Everywhere she goes, people will really take time to take a second look at her.Her appearance was different. She looks like a foreigner and she was sure that she got her looks from his father. Her face is different from her mother, she got green eyes same as the color of the gem which she believes that’s what she got her name from.“Excuse me, Aunty. Can you please tell me the way to Linda Shawl’s home?” Emerald asks the old woman who just descended from a cab, she has grocery stuff on both hands.“Sur
Chapter 13“What’s the problem, Emi?” Jason’s question brough Emerald back to her senses.“Nothing.” She denied.“I know you, don’t lie to me. You look like something is bothering you. Mind telling me?” Jason said.“Fine, I know you will pester me all day if I won’t tell you.” Emerald clicks her tongue. “Good thing, you know.” Jason said with a smug face.“It’s about my dad. There is a person that might lead me to him, to know his identity.”“Really, what makes you say that? Are you sure that this person is legit? How did you find him?” Jason asked her."The person is a she. Mom and I bumped into her when we went to eat at a restaurant yesterday. Mom was so scared seeing her and that makes sense because she never wants me to know who my father is. So, I was concluding that this woman knows everything about my mom’s past including my father base on her looks yesterday.”“You have a point there but it’s still dangerous, Emi. This person is a stranger and we don’t personally know her.
