Lahat ng Kabanata ng Revenge In Silk Sheets: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

“342…342…340…” Thea muttered, staring down the brightly lit hotel hall with blurred vision. She could still hear the loud music from her engagement hall, echoing through the floors. Her breath came out harsh and rugged, her skin tingled against her dress making her feel even more irritated! She wanted to claw at her skin; she wanted to take it off, but not here. Not now. The air in her lungs was hot and uncomfortable, suffocating the life out of her and driving her insane! How the hell did this happen? One minute, she was in the hall downstairs, celebrating her engagement with her childhood crush, Rune Sterling; the next, she was offered a glass by Posy, and her skin started to crawl with heat and enormous pain. The evening had started off relatively well and Thea was very much in her element, taking a few shots of liquor and enjoying the evening. “She's so lucky to be engaged in that family! I would kill to be a daughter-in-law of the Sterlings!” One of the guests had gu

“Are you being serious right now? You dare look me in the eye and lie to me?!” Rune snapped.They stared at him, mouths opened in confusion. “I'm not lying to you, Rune! I would never do that! My drink was spiked and Posy…” Posy cuts in. “You need to tell the truth, Thea. Your drink wasn't spiked, stop lying. There's a video of you and that man together last night and you don't look drunk to me.” Thea's heart dropped to the pits of hell. “What video?” She asked.Posy hands her phone over to show Thea. A video of her and the man she was with last night popped on the screen, and they were having sex. “Right there! Yes! Yes!” Her voice echoed from the video as the man thrust into her. His face wasn't in view either...This man has ruined her life and she barely recalled what he even looked like! “A virtuous lady, my foot! Look at her! So shameless! I would be damned if I let my name be attached to yours!” Fiona snapped.“No…this is…this..” Thea glanced at Rune. “This isn't what it l

Thea paused, turning slowly to face Seth. “What?” Seth covered the distance between them, and each stride towards her felt like a trap. “You heard me. I hate having to repeat myself.” She stared at him blankly, and a bitter laugh escaped her lips. "Marry you? You think you can just buy me, just like that? You practically ruined my life, and now you expect me to become your wife?" She might have lost everything, but her dignity wasn't for sale! Seth tilted his head, his blue eyes unreadable, yet holding a glint of something Thea couldn't decipher. "Everyone has a price, Miss Balmero. It's simply a matter of finding the right currency." His voice was low, utterly devoid of emotion, as if he were discussing the stock market rather than a life-altering proposal. “What?” The words left her mouth in almost a whisper, her face marked with belief as she stared at the man in front of her. Did he just say such horrible things from that mouth of his?! "Given your curre

The cafe was thrown into a stunned silence, broken only by Daisy's ragged breaths and Thea's quiet sobs, her face still pressed to the cold, sticky floor. Thea could feel the stares, the judgment, the whispers from the customers. She wished she could just vanish and disappear from this world. All eyes, still reeling from the scene before them, turned towards the entrance as the door chimed once more. A tall figure strode in, his presence earning gasps of both fear and surprise. What is a man of his caliber doing here? It was Seth Blackwood. Daisy gasped, her breath caught in her lungs. “Is that…” she muttered. He moved with such ease, his piercing blue eyes sweeping over the scene. His gaze first landed on Thea, crumpled on the floor, her uniform stained, her face smeared with ice cream and to the awestruck faces of the customers. His jaw tightened. Without a word, he walked directly to Thea and knelt beside her.. He reached out, his large, lean hand gently cupping

“What if I mess it up? She will know…that we're not in love..” Thea panicked as Daisy helped her into a beautiful short white dress. It was elegant and perfectly suited her slender, yet subtly curvy, figure, hugging her body in all the right places. “Take a deep breath! I'm sure she won't be asking uncomfortable questions.” Daisy offered, her heart racing as well. She had no clue what was at stake but she was scared for her friend, worried that this might blow up in her face. “Do you think she knows who I am? And what happened with my family?” Thea asked, biting her nails as she stared down at the tiles, shaking. Daisy placed her hands on Thea's shoulders, holding her in place and forcing her to stare her in the eyes. “It's alright! Take a deep breath! I'm sure Seth has something up his sleeves and he doesn't strike me as a man who would put you in an uncomfortable situation.” Thea scoffed, her eyes glancing briefly at the double doors leading outside the change room; i
