All Chapters of Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

CLARALucas arrived a few minutes after I did. And to be honest, I was in between excited and scared. I thought he would send a representative for something like this. How had he known dad was not coming? The interviewers didn't even know. I was just going to tell them that I was his representative once I was inside for the interview.Should I confront him about the text now? Something told me it was him. I wanted to ask him in person… but again, would Lucas threaten me like that?I decided to hold on first… I needed some proof before I could do anything.The last candidate was not coming. In his words, "The results have technically been announced, even if not fully. My heartfelt congratulations to those who are still in the game. It was a good race, we'll try again."Sit your ass down, Sir. To put it nicely, that man had only joined the election to cheer us on. He barely had followers. His words were weak, he was new to politics and barely had connections. It was a good thing he wa

CLARAI was in the car heading to Lucas for dinner, and I had already fallen asleep like twice in the car. I had tried to play it cool the first time… I tried to get myself together… but I ended up falling asleep still. I was just so tired most of the time. This had to be some wicked form of dejàvu.How possible was it to have a heart transplant and still, the heart I was given had a hole in it? Just how much bad luck did a person need to accumulate to get to that level?And now, against my better judgement it what I would rather do on a normal day… I was going out with Lucas for lunch. Sometimes, the man just seemed to know the perfect time to comfort me or seek me out. Tonight, I could postpone my revenge a little. We could meet and like he said, we could both try to get our minds off the elections. I was also trying to not think about it and I needed his help for that… it was far better than sulking in my room until tomorrow.Before I had gotten out of the house, I crosschecked my

LUCAS"Fuck, man. This shit was rigged. Call the chairman. This whole thing was fucking rigged. They kept the suspense so we would feel like they took their time to compile the votes but—"But I was already walking out of the sitting room where not only Nathan, but a couple of my board members sat, awaiting the result.My first stop was my office. Shoving the three security that stood guard there impatiently, I busted through the door and slammed it shut with a loud bang. I tried to calm myself when I was finally in, leaning back against the door. I had failed Ivan.I had fucking failed my brother. I could not start to imagine the jabs and emotional blackmail I would have to go through in the hands of my family because of this, once they had processed the news. Mom would be livid… especially now that she knew that Clara was behind Raphael Evergreen. She had offered me some illegal links which I had rebuffed to her face.She reminded me of them when they had announced the 0.5% margin.

LUCAS"We should take advantage of the trends. Make sure we do not come across as tacky because while trying to follow trends, we may come off as tacky, depends on how we organize everything and twist the trend into something unique if our own. Marketing head, I'll leave that to you." I pointed to her and she nodded. I called the meeting to a close after few more minutes and then returned back to my office.I leaned back against my chair and took the time to go through my messages, with my finger covering over the one Paul had sent me yesterday.PAUL: It was a successful surgery. Thought you would come around, man.The truth was that I did. I drove around the vicinity… around Paul's hospital for what seemed like hours, like a crazed man. It was only until I finally decided to get a fucking grip that I took a detour and went back home.I read Clara's message too. She had thought about me right before the surgery. I knew I had promised to step back, but the singular act from her made

CLARAWere my eyes deceiving me or did I just see Lucas kissing one of the dancers? It was him. I was sure of it, I thought, looking closer. She was half-naked and sprawled on his laps, grinding against him with pressure that would cause even me to release in my pants.His hands were all over her body and their kisses were so in sync… the whole thing made me want to throw up. This man had acted like he could not live without me and would do anything for me. All of a sudden he has his tongue in another woman's throat.Oh fuck, I need to get out of here.I spun to get Fred's attention and ask him to take him home but Fred was nowhere to be found. I blinked, calling out,"Fred? Fred?"Why would he leave me in the middle of this fried without saying anything? Had he… had he seen me gawking at Lucas?And even if he did… this was all fake, he needed to stop getting hurt affected when I did stuff with Lucas. WE WERE NOT REAL. How did he not get that?I looked back up in the most conceited w
