Semua Bab Revenge In Silk Sheets: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Adam Balmero sat in his study, tension hung in the air as the old man paced his office, fist clenched and eyes dark with rage. He glanced at the wall clock, another hour had gone by and he knew that yet again, he had lost another million. His agitation grew, his strides became faster. The desk behind him was littered with reports that screamed of one thing: failure.He had just ended a heated phone call with one of his most trusted business associates. The conversation was brief and to the point, centered on the staggering financial losses the Balmero Company had incurred over the past few months. It wasn't even a year since Posy took over from Thea but somehow in the last six months the company has incurred more losses than Adam had ever incurred even when he was just starting out! It was a reality he had tried to ignore, maybe Posy just needed time to adjust to her role but the numbers were now too large to dismiss.Gina walked in with a tray of ginger tea and set it on the desk

Thea tossed her bag onto the bed before sinking into her bed, taking off her shoes. It's been a long and rather successful day. Her mind roamed back to Adam and how he had shown up unannounced. Thea felt a pinch in her heart; he knew where to find her and yet, he didn't come to apologise to her, to tell her he trusts her. But the only time he does show up, it's to ask if she could save his company from drowning in debt. A slow smile crept across Thea’s face. This was exactly what she had wanted. For Adam to see Posy’s incompetence, to be forced to swallow his pride and beg her, Thea, for help. The pain of his betrayal still lingered, a dull ache in her chest, but it was now overshadowed by a quiet sense of satisfaction. The game, it seemed, was back on. Her phone was back in her hand, her thumb hovering over the contacts. She couldn't call Adam back just yet. She needed to let him sweat, to let the silence and the financial losses work their magic. No, her next target was the s

He had expected her to turn him down but surprisingly, she didn't say no. He didn't realise how nervous he was to deliver the news until the words left his mouth.The look of confusion on her face, or was it a look of surprise or shock? And her response? Relief washed over him. The quiet hum of the air conditioner was the only sound in Seth’s office. He stood by the wall of glass in his office, a cup of coffee in one hand as he stared down the rather quiet city. He really underestimated the effect Thea had on him. Here he was, a smile dancing on his lips because she agreed to move into his room. Yes. She was his wife but the situation was rather complicated.“Are you still breathing?!” Arian teased, as he pushed the door open, a teasing smile on his face.Nothing to brighten his day like irritating the shit out of his childhood friend. Seth exhaled, there goes the little moment of peace he wanted to enjoy by himself. He glanced over his shoulder. “I'm starting to think your sorry

The air in Runes’ office was thick with a furious, suffocating silence. It was a silence that crackled with barely contained rage. Runes’ face was a contorted mask of disbelief and fury as he stared at the two massive monitors on his desk. The green of the stock market charts had bled into a sickening, plunging red.The numbers were mocking him, ticking down with a relentless, mechanical rhythm. His company was makimg losses by the fucking minute! How the hell did that happen?! His father had built this company from the ground up, and gave their family a name that could be reckoned with. And now, it looks like they were making a slow dance towards bankruptcy.He slammed his fist on the desk, the heavy thud echoed throughout the silent room.“Impossible!” he roared, the sound bouncing off the polished walls. “How? How is this happening?”He had called in Andy. Andy was his man, his trusted confidant, the brilliant analyst he relied on to see the future of the market. He had crossed p

Thea felt a shock go through her body, a complete and total surprise that left her speechless.His words—"Good"—echoed in her mind. He wanted everyone to know. Did he mean that? Was she imagining things? Daydreaming, maybe? She walked out of the dressing room and faced him. Seth was standing there, his hands in his pockets. Thea opened her mouth but words seemed far away from her, she had no idea what to say. She chuckled, there's no way. “I mean it.” Seth replied, his eyes fixed on her like he had just read her mind. Her eyes flickered back to him in shock, was he really being serious?!"Are you serious?" she asked, her voice low. "You want everyone to know? The cameras will be there. The media. This will be on every news channel."Seth nodded slowly. "I know. That's the point."Thea blinked and blinked again. He was out the type to joke around like this, she knew that for a fact and this? "Why?" she asked."Because you're my wife," he said. "And the world needs to know that.” T
