Lahat ng Kabanata ng Married for Revenge, Unexpected Love : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Zey*I took the key from the receptionist, I should happy right? But I was curious. Adrian never requested for seperate rooms. Why today?I walked into room 306. It was beautiful, spacious and I had all the privacy I always hoped for. This was everything I needed so why was I thinking of Adrian. I sank into the bed—it was soft, comforting. I closed my eyes.But the question echoed in my head again. What was he planning? He was unpredictable, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.“Don’t think of anything,* I told myself. “Just enjoy the few minutes—or hours—before he ruins everything.”That was exactly what I was going to do.I drifted off on the comfort of the bed. A knock came after a while. The attendants walked in with a menu. I ticked what I wanted, and a few minutes later, they returned with a food trolley.“Here’s everything you need, ma’am.”“Thank you,” I said with a soft smile.I was free for now. Being with Adrian was like living in a cage—wit

Zey*I kept searching—drenched and tired. The breeze picked up, clouds gathered in the sky. It was about to rain. I had to find the pendant before it did… or I’d never find it again.I moved relentlessly. My fingers brushed something—I froze. I brought it out. Just a tiny metal piece. Not the pendant.I sighed, frustration weighing me down. My back ached from bending so long, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t stop. My fingers dug into the tiles at the bottom of the pool, and I felt it. The shape, the weight. I knew this feeling.It was the pendant.I reached for it, head still underwater. When I finally rose, gasping, I held it in my hand. My chest heaved as I stared at it. I found it.I climbed out of the pool slowly, face soaked in water and tears. I held the pendant to my chest. This was mine. Not even Adrian could take this from me.Shivering, I walked back toward my room. My fingers were numb from cold. I reached the door—when a firm hand grabbed my wrist.I didn’t need to

ADRIAN*Stevie paced around the room, her face red with fury. She looked ready to combust.I ignored her, eyes fixed on my laptop screen."How dare she—""Adrian, I'm telling you..." she hissed through clenched teeth, "You have to divorce that bitch. Do you know what she did?"I leaned back, letting my head fall against the chair. "What did she do?" I asked, my focus still on the contract dashboard. If I didn’t lock in the deal today, Tyron would take it — and everything I’d worked for would go to hell."Your fucking wife messed with my package. Do you even what what she did?""Can you see my face?"I looked at her finally. The red welt across her cheek was hard to miss.“She ruined my skincare products—added something in the serum. I—”"You planted the diamonds in her room, didn’t you?"She froze. Blinked. Then blinked again.I tapped my fingers slowly against the desk. “What did I say from the beginning?”“I… I just—”“I told you to stay the fuck out of it.”“I was trying to help y

ADRIAN"You can stop now.""Shut it." I flexed my fingers, sitting stiffly in the hospital driveway with Cole beside me."Before it’s too late, Adrian. Before you regret it..."I shook my head. "I won’t regret it.""And I won’t stop."My grip tightened around the wheel—too tight."You think I can just forget what they did? What I lost?"Even being here was hell. Just parking in front of the hospital made my chest tighten. I hadn't stepped foot in one since that day. The smell, the walls, the damn fluorescent lights—it all brought the memories rushing in.They didn’t just hurt me. They erased everything. My childhood. My parents. My peace.And no apology could bring that back.Cole’s voice cut through. "Dude, you—"I cut him off, ignition growling beneath my fingers. "Stay here. Keep watch. Let me know if anything changes."…Three miles out, I pulled over. My hands left the wheel, but the pressure didn’t leave my chest. Guilt stabbed harder than I expected.Why did it feel like this?

Anne.*"You ditched the internship programme? I sighed, my eyes meeting his green orbs. "Are you going to tell them?" "Why are you here?" "Are you stalking me?""It's Adrian's order to keep an eye on everyone. I have no choice," he said, crossing his arms."That bastard," I muttered, clenching my fists. Everything had been a mess from the moment Adrian walked into our lives. He shattered everything.We were now living under his rule, buried in chaos. And I couldn’t take it—the thought of Zey with him. It hurt, and what hurt more was knowing I couldn’t do a damn thing about it.I’d abandoned my dream of being an intern, stayed away from my family... How could I face them? How could I?Adrian had taken everything—Zey, the properties—and I knew my inheritance was next. I was ready. I had already planned my next step. There was no way I’d let him take my rights too."What are you thinking about?" Cole asked, snapping his fingers." Do you even know why Adrian is messing with my
