All Chapters of REVENGE AND DESIRE: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

CHAPTER 42The gym lights flickered softly against the polished floor, casting long, golden streaks across the mats. It was early. Too early for anyone else to be here—except Jeremy, who always made early look effortless.Natasha pushed through the glass door, letting it close behind her with a soft thud. She hadn’t even taken off her hoodie before she spotted him—shirtless, his muscles moving like quiet waves beneath his skin, throwing sharp punches into the heavy bag. The sound echoed through the still space.“You’re actually early,” he called out, not turning around.“I was invited early,” she replied, pulling off her hoodie and tossing it onto the bench. “Midnight calls don’t leave much room for negotiation.”Jeremy turned, giving her that slow, infuriating smirk. “Right. I wanted to see if you'd actually show.”She stretched out her arms, rolling her shoulders. “I don’t flake.”“I know.”They started with stretches—quiet, efficient, side by side. Jeremy stole glances. Natasha not

CHAPTER 44Selene blinked against the soft morning light streaming through the blinds. Her eyes fluttered open, slowly adjusting to the plush, familiar interior.Wait… this wasn’t her room.She turned her head, her fingers curling around the soft comforter as realization settled in.Damien’s room.A slow smile spread across her lips. It still smelled like him—rich cologne, something woody and expensive. She stretched lazily and sat up, brushing her hair out of her face.“How… Did I get here?” she murmured to herself.The last thing she remembered was curling up on the couch last night, waiting for Damien to return from his late dinner meeting. She must’ve dozed off. Which only meant one thing—Damien had come back and carried her here.Her cheeks warmed slightly at the thought.Just then, the bathroom door creaked open.She looked up.There he was—Damien. Shirtless, wearing nothing but grey lounge shorts, a towel casually draped around his neck. His damp hair clung to his forehead, and

CHAPTER 46It was morning already, the news about what happened yesterday's night was spreading like wildfire this morning .Evelyn has been on her phone ever since she woke up,she was climbing down the stairs when she bumped into Selene who came out from the kitchen.Selene glared at her and crossed her hand.” What are you still doing here?”Evelyn blinked.” Can't I stay.”“No you—”Damien appeared beside Evelyn.” She is not going, Selene.”Selene glared at them.” Both of you should avoid me.”She walked past them and entered their room.Damien faced Evelyn.” Feel free around.”Evelyn smiled and watched as Damien went back into the room.Evelyn smiled and walked and walked away.- - - Selene slammed the bedroom door, fury tightening her jaw.Her phone buzzed on the dresser.NATASHA CALLINGShe answered, voice clipped. “What.”Natasha murmured.”You okay?”Selene sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing her temples. “No.”Natasha's fronwed.” I just saw the clip. Cherry pecked Damien, you s

CHAPTER 48The front door clicked open.Selene looked up from the couch, her eyes settling on Damien.“You’re home early,” she said.Damien dropped his keys on the table and loosened his tie. “I had to. Something weird happened today.”She shifted. “Weird how?”He walked toward her, sat down slowly, and leaned forward.“I was tracing Cherry’s movement,” he said. “Trying to find out who she’s been meeting since the merger. Julius and I finally got a link… a bank receipt.”Selene narrowed her eyes. “And?”“The moment we opened it—” he paused, rubbed his forehead, “—the system shut down. Completely. Every damn thing went blank.”“You’re saying someone wiped the data?”“I’m saying someone’s watching us. That information was real. And someone didn't want me to see it.”Selene sat up straighter. “How’s Julius handling it?”“He thinks it's an inside job,” Damien muttered. “And I agree.”A beat of silence passed.“Was it Cherry?”“She doesn’t have that kind of access. But she’s connected to w

CHAPTER 50Jeremy read the text and switched off his phone.Natasha's body moved and he became stilled so he wouldn't wake her up. His eyes went back to his phone and he scoffed.“ A bitch will always be a bitch.”- - - Bonnie has this naughty grin on her lips as she watches her phone ring and buzzes with Cherry's messages.And the funny thing is that she read all of them and didn't reply to any.Someone grinned beside her.“That's what she gets for trying to play the wise card.”Bonnie frowned. “ For a reason I hate the fact that we are step sisters and her bitchy mother had to send my mother and I out of our father's house with me knowing who he was.”The guy leaned in towards her. “ But you're not alone.”Bonnie glared at him. “ Back off Josh.”Josh cracked. “ Why are you still giving me this nasty attitude?”Bonnie stared at him but said nothing. Josh's eyes went back to her ringing phone and that was when his eyes caught the name she saved her number with.BLOODY BITCH.Josh laug
