Todos os capítulos de Her Quiet Revenge: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

CHAPTER TWO The contract is twelve pages. I know what a real contract looks like. I grew up watching my father sign them across boardroom tables. I know the tricks. The buried clauses. The language that sounds like nothing until a lawyer circles it in red six months later. Alfonso knows I know. He's standing by the window watching me read like he's got all the time in the world. He doesn't fool me. Page one is clean. Standard terms. Temporary marriage, minimum twelve months, public appearances required, full access to Tommaso resources for the duration. Page two. Three. Four. Clean. Page seven. I stop. *"The party of the second part agrees to reside exclusively within Tommaso-approved properties for the duration of the agreement. Any departure requires written authorization from the party of the first part."* I read it twice. "I can't leave without your permission." I look up. "That's what this says." "That's what it says." "That's not a marriage contract." I set it down

CHAPTER FOUR The glass hits the wall and explodes. Ryan doesn't even flinch at the sound he just made. He's pacing. Three steps left, three steps right, the way he does when the math stops working in his favor. Selena is sitting on my couch. My couch. In my apartment. With her legs crossed like she owns it already. "Stop pacing," she says. "You're making it worse." "She's alive." He stops. Points at the TV where the screengrab is still frozen. My face. Alfonso's hand on my waist. Fifty cameras. "She's alive and she's got the most dangerous last name in Europe and you told me it was handled." "I thought it was." "You thought wrong." Selena uncrosses her legs. Something shifts in her face. The performative grief she's been wearing for three weeks peels back and what's underneath is something I would not have recognized six months ago. Cold. Focused. Already calculating. "Okay." Her voice drops. "So we have a problem." "A problem." Ryan laughs. It's not a good sound. "The fraud

Rose PovThe day went by with me spending most of it in the library reading some books. It was quite interesting to say, I was so engrossed in reading that I did not know when the sun set.Hearing a knock on the door brought me out of my world, unconsciously I sat straight smoothing the dress I had on which was given to me earlier on by Sofia, before saying a " come in "" Rose "I heard his voice before he pushed the door open making his way into the room. My heart kept beating fast with each step he took. Deciding to count it as nothing, I assured myself it was only because I was preparing myself to confront him." Wow! Would you look at who's home already, if it isn't our Noble Marquis "I spat at him. " It must have been fun fooling me right? " I continued raising an eyebrow before glaring at him. " What's wrong? " he asked, giving me a surprised look. Walking towards me he stopped a little bit far from me." Ohh nothing at all, just mentally tapping myself to wake up and not get f

Rose AlexanderI stood by the side of the bed with my mouth open as I looked towards the pile of dresses and shoes that were in the middle of the room. Raising my head back up I saw some ladies bringing in more clothes and bags with them.Groaning quietly as I knew it was the work of that devil I never took it seriously when he said he was going to rebrand me, but that heel devil was actually going through with his plan. "Madam please come and pick whatever you will like please" the woman who I got to know was a designer asked me gesturing for me to come forward. Picking each piece and stretching it to see the designer I frowned as most of the dresses here were not my style really, they were either too revealing or too bold and I was more of a girl who likes and believes in covering myself up from head to toe.It's been over an hour and we still could not get into any agreement as I refused to pick any of the clothes that were brought for me. Blowing an air of frustration the designe

Alfonso Tommaso I had to wake up early today as I was called during the night and had some business to take care of. Some thugs were attacking my worker at one of my warehouse. Honestly it was starting to get irritating as this always happens one or twice every month, they just wanted some money to stuff themselves with drugs for the time being and I was not ready to keep giving them from my pocket.Going towards the dinning room I asked one of the maids to make me a coffee before requesting for them to get me the maid I appointed for Rose. Taking my phone I decided to check the headline for todays news, among the hottest gist Marcus my cousin was there with different women by his arms as he was seen leaving the club. Rolling my eyes I put my phone down. And that's the person the council think they can entrust my family fortune to I thought as I couldn't help but feel annoyed." Sir " a soft voice said beside me bringing me out of my thoughts. Turning around I saw the lady I assign t
