Billionaire's Perfect Revenge のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

[ZARA]The anniversary celebration at the luxurious hotel owned by the Gracias family was more lavish than I expected. But I should have known better.Armonica came from a wealthy family and she seemed like a person who would spend every penny of hers if it contributed to someone’s happiness. She was a devoted daughter, and it’d be a lie if I wasn’t looking forward to meeting her parents, curious if they had any similarities, or what sort of people raised a wonderful girl like her. Although they probably wouldn’t have time, seeing the long queue of affluent and important people loitering all around them.It went without saying when Brandon and I made it to the venue and Brandon’s gaze fell on her, waiting for us at the entrance, he took fifteen extra seconds to pull his bearings together. He could barely breathe at the sight of her. And even though I had gotten used to his flustered reaction around this girl, it still baffled me that he was the same guy who used to be an annoying play

[MADDOX]“Now, even the newspapers know about it! When are you going to bring her to meet me?”It was the third time mom mentioned the article going viral in newspapers and other business magazines. A picture of me and a woman in a black dress. They took the picture at my uncle’s anniversary party and, of course, the girl in black was none other than Zara Fisher.Someone snapped it right before we got into the elevator.The good thing was that only Zara’s back was visible. The idea of people knowing about her made me apprehensive from the inside and made me sick as fuck.Not because I was embarrassed to have her by my side. But because I was not. If anything I felt like a fucking vagrant who won a lucky jackpot. The root of my concern was the undeniable truth that there were people who could see her as my vulnerability and try to cause her harm. I might not be sure about my feelings referring to her, but I definitely didn’t want her to be rolled up in the tangle of this wicked busines

[ZARA]“A customer is asking for you, Zara!” Nate, the head server at our restaurant, told me.“Why? What happened?” I asked, a bit surprised because even though customers could ask for the manager at any time, it was strange as I just came back after attending a table. Not even five minutes had passed.Anyway, it wasn’t like I had any say on the matter. If the customer was asking for me, it was better to leave right away. Make them wait for a second longer and they took it personally on their ego. It was an uphill climb from thereon. Nothing but free meals could satisfy them.I closed the register, the one that I came here to check and adjusted my blazer. “Let’s go then. Why make them wait?” I told him with a smile and he returned with a chuckle.I followed him to the table, expecting to address some rude men in business attires as if someone pissed in their coffees. But what I didn’t expect was to be greeted by three old ladies and a young boy. All of them looked fairly content. As

[MADDOX]“It’s only a matter of a few days,” I said over the phone, rubbing my temples. “Once I’m sure he isn’t planning anything nefarious, you’ll be free to go. So, please, for the love of God, stop giving hard times to my men. I posted them outside of your house for your own safety and not for any sort of kick.”“It’s already been three days, Maddox,” she droned, sounding annoyed.“You don’t know him, Jade. He is a fucking psycho. Once he gets the hang of something, he doesn’t let go until he sucks the life out of it.”“I’ve read his file. I know about his…obsessions.”“Then you should know better than to take him for granted. He is a dangerous man, Jade, and if we want to destroy him in his own game, we need to think and act like him. Else, he’ll be always one step ahead of us and we’ll never be able to…”“…avenge Emily?”“Catch him...but yeah, that too.”“I trust you, Maddox. I hope you know that. But it still annoys me that I can’t get the hell out of this place. I’m so fucking b

After texting Josh the address of the venue of the date, I met Jade in the hotel room where she was staying.We ordered the food in the room and ate while talking about what our next plan of action should be. Now that our intentions of catching that man red-handed were exposed, we needed to alter our methods. Jade suggested it would be better if we quit going after him for a while.“Let him think we are out of his hair,” she said, wiping her mouth with the napkin. “He would be more cautious because of our interference now. So, there’s no point in going after him until he’s confident enough to get back into his game. We both know it wouldn’t take long. His obsession wouldn’t put him at ease for that long. He’ll snap sooner or later, and that’ll be the opportunity we would have to seize.”“Fair enough,” I gave her a nod. “But what if he went into hiding again? We still don’t know the people who are helping him.”“He won’t!” she said confidently. “He is a cocky bastard. If we actually ba
