บททั้งหมดของ SWEET REVENGE (He Betrayed Me, Now He Must Pay): บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Chapter 11“What!!!” I can't help the scream that escapes my lips as I read the content of the letter.Derrick is filing for a divorce and seeking full custody of Rose.“THAT BASTARD!!” I screech, flinging the paper in the air as I bounce up to my feet.My feet laced back and forth in the living room, unable to grasp the situation at hand.Doing this means we have to go to court because hell will freeze over before I let him have my baby.My eyes burn once I realize what this means: he wants to have everything. I am losing everything.My husband, my company, my baby. Every single thing that belongs to Clara Anthony, or should I say Laurent, since that bastard wants a divorce.It's all Florida's fault.Tears rush down my face as I fall to the couch, pushing myself up into a fetal position. This can't be happening to me. I didn't do anything wrong to deserve this. Clary had a night shift, so she won't be returning till late afternoon tomorrow.Suddenly, I regret letting her go to work

Chapter 13My whole body freezes as I stare at the words on my screen, my eyes snapping to look at Spencer so fast I wonder how my neck doesn't fall off.“How? How did you do that so fast? I haven't even signed an agreement with you yet.” I ask, my words tumbling out as I blink repeatedly.“Facts are baseless in the media world; all they need is a rumor, especially one coming right from my company source.” He shrugs like it's the simplest thing in the world.“Now to make it final, we just need to make an appearance.” He says, taking slow strides towards me.“You need not cry anymore, Clara, for I will make them burn.” He murmurs, his words sending tremors down my spine.“No one deserves you treating yourself like this for them. I am leaving now. Get some rest. Tomorrow you will come to the Hale industries and we will sign some documents, then we will make an appearance.” He instructs as if he had it all planned out.Words fail me as I find myself only nodding, “Good, they will pay, I

Chapter 15“What--who..how is that even possible? It's impossible?” Derrick stutters, eyes still as wide as saucers.“What do you mean?” Spencer asks, his voice dripping sarcasm as he watches his brother.The whole room is quiet for a while before it erupts in chaos, with questions coming from every angle.“Mr Derrick, why do you both look so much alike?” Someone asks.“Because I am Spencer Anthony, Derrick's twin brother and the CEO of Hale's industry.” The shock that ripples through the air is enough to make me smile.Yes, we are here to shake the world, and we have only just begun.I can't help but imagine Florida's face right now. That would feel so out of the world to watch, urgh.“That's impossible, right?”“There is no way Mr Derrick would have a twin whom we don't know.”“After all these years, why come out now?”“Mr Derrick, do you have anything to say regarding your brother?”“Yes, is he really the one or just an imposter?”Derrick's eyes wouldn't stop roaming all over Spen

Chapter 17I slide off the bed, reaching for my phone as I dial my contact at the good morning show.“Hello, Mrs Florida, how may I help you? It's quite late.” Matthew, during an interview on the Good Morning show, asks through the phone, his voice heavy as he sounds annoyed.I don't pay heed to it.“Oh, Matthew, I was just wondering how much you said that was that package you needed to get the other day?” I ask, taking a strand of my hair as I roll it in between my fingertips.I hear shuffling at the other end, indicating that he is getting up, and I have his full attention.“Umm— it's just a thousand dollars. Why do you ask?” He questions, even though he already knows why.Matthew Adams, host of the Good Morning show, is one of the country's largest shows. He is in his forties with blond hair and black eyes, always dressed in fancy suits, even though there is nothing fancy about him.“It's fine, I will wire the money to you right now–”.“What do I need to do?” He cuts me off.Now, t

Chapter 19My body slowly slumps against the door, head racked as different thoughts run through my mind.Are they really willing to go this far? Is Derrick that evil that he doesn't even have any sort of remorse towards me, after all he did to me?I press my lips tightly together, refusing to shed any more tears. Enough is enough; it's time I fight back with all my might.I have Spencer with me now, and with his resources, I can do a lot of damage when I want to—not if, because I will do so much damage.The loud buzzing of my phone has me dragging myself up from the floor to pick up my phone from the table.Spencer called.I don't hesitate to take the call.“Hey, how are you doing?” Is the first thing he asks me causing my insides to warm up, a small smile stretching my lips?“I am doing okay, better now. The lawyer came asking me to sign the divorce papers.” I explain, quickly briefing him on what happened.“The next move would be to try to take you to court. I will get my lawyers r
