Semua Bab The Heiress's Revenge : Bab 41 - Bab 46

The buzzing of my phone has jolted me out of my slumber. Judging by how dark the room was, I was certain it had just finished drizzling.Just then, I scoffed upon seeing who the caller was. It was no one but the betrayal.“Marcus,”“Boss, I think you need to see what is–”“I’ve curbed it, Marcus. Is there something else you want to tell me?” I questioned softly.Hoping he might say something that might interest me. Something that may warrant my forgiving him.“Nothing,” he answered before heaving a sigh.“If that’s all, then…”“Boss,” Marcus called again, causing me to pause.My patience was getting out of control, and I was praying I did not flare up.Right now, I must act along so he won’t even notice the slightest change in me.“Anything else?”“I’ll resume back to work tomorrow. Thanks for everything,” he replied.I clenched my fist in anger, my eyes rolling to the back of my head as I heaved a sigh. “You are welcome. I’ll see you tomorrow then.”With that, the call ended.

Undergoing his operation. So I ordered that no one sees him till they are done,” Ariel answered with her hand folded across her chest.“Right,” I heaved a sigh. “We’ll wait

I knew better than to stand and exchange words with Ariel. A couple of years back, I wish I had followed my instinct. I had always suspected her to be jealous of me. But what I never knew was that she’d go as far as harming my father? To what extent?Just to take revenge because of something someone told you, and you didn’t deem it fit to confirm if it was true or not?“So you think my father was responsible for the death of your parents?” “Yes. And I’ll stop at nothing to make him pay back. I’ve always waited for this day,” Ariel replied, a mocking smile plastered to her face.“And by the time I’m done with him, he’d wish he never killed my parents,” she added before walking away, even before I could say any more words.Words failed me as I blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall out of my eyes. My father was one of the mafia in the country, and I find it very surprising that I knew nothing about it till now.“My life is messed up,” I whispered, before dashing out of
