Xavier

I was currently cooped up in the backseat of my car, Ed's apartment, just within my line of view.

The clustered boxed apartment a far cry from the luxury I left behind a few hours ago, I imagined how cramped it must be with both of them living in the square shaped condo's.

My stomach knotted into dread. I had forced them into this_ forced them into a situation where they were both vulnerable.

All I had ever wanted was for her to feel the same way I had felt all those years ago. And now that I had executed all my revenge plans, I felt like a piece of shit.

That was why I needed to ensure Skyla signed this,

I flipped through the paper again, the pastel colour, and the words written on it jumbling my mind, my whole body tingled with exhaustion as I proofread everything.

Word for word, page by page

I didn’t want Skyla thinking that I wanted to control her or buy her trust over with money. All I wanted to do was to right some

  • The Perfect Revenge    Buried Voices

    SKYLAThe air in the café feels totally different today. The apprehension in the air was heavy with unspoken words and secrets that swirled between the tables like the steam rising from my coffee. The low jump of whispers and conversations does nothing to ease the tension springing up in my chest.I keep my head down, my eyes glued to the menu as I pretend to read the menu, but my mind was elsewhere – it was on the meeting I was about to have with a woman I never thought I’d see again.Serena. A name I hadn’t heard in years, a name that belonged to someone who knew more about Carl’s operations than I ever thought possible. An old friend from college, we lost contact after everything went to hell, after I had distanced myself from everyone who might be a threat to my safety and my peace. But today, I was meeting her, and for reasons I couldn’t explain, I felt both uneasy and relieved.The bell above the café door chimed, indicating that someone just go

  • The Perfect Revenge    Broken Halos

    SKYLAI stood behind the window, staring out at the city below. It felt like the whole world was moving – evolving without me at a great speed. I was stuck in time – stuck in this whirlwind of lies and broken promises. My mind keeps replaying the events of the last few days, the weight of every secrets that I had uncovered, and the sinking feeling that I was being dragged into something sinister – something much bigger than I ever intended. Something I might never escape. The knock at the door pulled me away from my thoughts, pulling me out of the daze I was in. I turn to find Xavier there, his figure framed in the doorway. His jaw tight, eyes dark with a mixture of frustration and something else I can’t quite place. I know that look. It was the same one he wore months ago when we bumped into each other in Johnny’s. The same one he wore when he stripped me of everything. Anger.The one he wore when he couldn’t bring himself to understand that I didn’t f

  • The Perfect Revenge    The Dead File

    SKYLAThe slight hum of the fluorescent lights is all that fills the silence as I step into Xavier’s office, my heart still racing from the intense heated moment I and Xavier just shared. I was trying so hard to steady my breathing, trying hard to steady myself after the storm we unleashed in that exchange. But my heart still hurt with the words he had spewed, the weight of everything that had been said and done still stung sharply.I hastily pull the door behind me, the soft click of the bolts keying into place echoed in the empty space. But instead of heading to the desk, I move towards the filing cabinets, trailing my fingers over the metal as I look for anything that might give me some semblance of control, some way to piece together the puzzle of this twisted mess I found myself in.And then I found it .Found the file tucked away at the back of one of the drawers, hidden beneath a stack of less significant papers. The label on the front barel

  • The Perfect Revenge    Heat And Ashes

    SKYLAThe city outside Xavier’s office window looked like it could be burning. The city lights twinkled like fiery embers in the night. It felt so far away – too far to feel any warmth inside, just a certain coldness that caused goosebumps to scatter across ones skin.I could even feel it with the way my skin prickled in discomfort the moment I stepped off the elevator. A certain chill wrapping itself around me like a bleak blanket that suffocated every part of me, leaving nothing but tension and raw nerves.My feet move before my mind catches up. I didn’t even need to look up before I knew that he was there, standing at his usual spot. The glow of the night casts a halo over his silhouette. The urgent need to run my palms through his taut muscles tempting.I stood still for a long time, trying to steady my uneven breathing. Trying to push away the weight of the past six years that’s been bearing down on me, wrapping itself around my chest like

  • The Perfect Revenge    The Whisperer

    SKYLAThe city always felt colder after midnight – it felt like the darkness always found a way to strip the world of all its polite lies away, leaving only the raw, ugly truth behind. Leaving us with all the bitterness the day had to conceal.I tugged on my coat tightly, the night chill causing goosebumps to scatter across my skin. I keep my head down as I cross the empty space behind Charlie’s building. Ignoring the way my heart thumps rapidly against my chest as my boots crunch loudly against the gravel, a lonely sound in the stillness. Charlie had asked me to meet him here. He had said it was urgent, and it couldn’t wait.I had been surprised at first, ever since this whole fiasco with Xavier, Charlie had never contacted me personally to tell me that he had urgent news for me. Even though it was my duty to report to him every morning before I resumed work.The word itself felt poisonous to my mind . News.In my world, wh

  • The Perfect Revenge    Carl’s Games

    CARLThe city outside my office window was filled with vast oceans of cold lights and looming skyscrapers, each one a testament to the empire that I had built brick by brick. A legacy that had required my blood sweat and tears before it could stand this tall – this intimidating. But within the walls of the penthouse, there was only darkness – a cold, unsettling darkness that created an empty void inside me. The weight of what needed to be done pressing heavily on my shoulders.The amount of power I wielded choked me, turned me into this crazy monster that would do anything for more power. Anything just so I could rule over the weak.I lean back into my reclining chair, my fingers steepled beneath my chin as I survey the empire I’ve spent decades building. Blueprints, contracts, confidential reports – all spread across the table like offerings at the feet of an altar. And at the centre of it all, the crowned jewel – the very reason why the Anderson empire t
