All Chapters of Delusional Revenge: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Kate's jaw tightened, her pulse surged, her fist balled. “How are you tracking him? Are you sure you're tracking the right person?” she asked, her gaze fixed on him. Michael smiled, “You're not the only one with connections, Jane. You're not the only cunning one. I have my way of getting things done.” “Okay, sir. I hope we're tracking the right person. Because you already know Phil can jam your network and make you believe that you're in control,” Jane replied, sending her gaze back to the road. Michael didn't speak, he just nodded. Jane couldn't sit comfortably in her seat. Her brain was constantly fighting a battle over morality and vengeance. She turned to Michael, facing him fully, her expression a mask of cold calculated logic. “Whose side are you on? Phil's family or mine? You sound like someone seeking justice instead of vengeance, Michael. Well, I am fighting for vengeance. You should know better. Phil took everything from me. He trained me, molded me into a weapon, all wh

Jane's face reflected sheer determination, resilience, and hope. She turned to Michael and back to the screen. “Victoria might get us what we need in six hours but I can't wait. The time range is too long. Every second that goes by will put me in severe distress,” Jane stated, her eyes glued to the glowing screens. “Phil said he hacked our system—the one I designed. He trained me. He knows my coding style, how I build firewalls, and he even knows my digital signature. I'll use that against him. I'm going to look for a signature I recognize. A pattern of intrusion that only he would use.” She began to run a series of deep-packet inspections and network traffic analyses, creating a digital map of all incoming and outgoing data from the penthouse’s private server. The silence in the room was broken only by the rapid clicking of the keyboard and the low hum of the cooling fans.Michael couldn't spill a word. He wanted to but his inner self prevented it. He just stood by, staring at her,

Phil stood in the abandoned structure, his hands on his waist, his shoe tapping the ground frequently. He needed to move, but he wanted a clear plan. A plan without lapses—he couldn't afford mistakes this time round. He ran his fingers through his hair, and he paced about in the room. Then, he snapped his fingers, he knew how the plan should go. When he was about to leave, he got a message from Adams: “Tick-tock, brother, time’s not on your side. I wish you the best of luck though. You know how to find me when you have completed your mission but if you fail, we’ll find you.”His jaw tightened. He squeezed the phone, almost breaking it in half. Adams wasn't wishing him luck, he was taunting him. He placed his phone back in his pocket and stepped out of the building. He needed to find Jane and Michael but he also had a family to attend to. Phil's mind, once an unbreakable force, was now showing signs of confusion and indecision. His attachment to his family was making his decisions tou

The room was filled with silence, vengeance, and pain. The realization of the fresh betrayal sent a wave of nausea through them. The depth of the deception, the sheer audacity of his performance, was staggering. He hadn't just delivered the worst form of betrayal, he had lived a complete lie for years, basking in the reflected glory of the family he was strategically destroying. He was a man no one would believe could hurt a fly. “He’s played his role emphatically. I must give him that. He has been secretly gaining power,” Michael stated, his eyes blazing with a dangerous light. “Everything is coming together now. If he has been in the shadows and causing havoc, then I think he was the one who really tipped off the police about the fraud. He must be the one who put the eagle crest on the Project Manowa documents. He should be the one behind using your father’s own security system to build his empire. He is the one they call ‘The Taker.’ I believe this strongly. No one else could be.”

Phil knew he had to make the tough decision. One he never anticipated. He was being tested. The organization wanted to know where his loyalty lies. The only way was to put Jane in the mix. They knew he had a soft spot for her. Meanwhile, in the Blackwood mansion, the words struck like a blade through the bare skin. Jane released her breath after she realized she had been holding her breath. “You’ve been aware of most of our moves,” she said slowly. “You were there. You listened attentively and silently. You reported every move. You coward.”Daniel’s smile widened further, “You were outstanding, I must admit. The ruthless Kate Vance who has now made love her weakness. You were the perfect weapon. The updates I gave them were top-notch.”Jane’s fingers trembled, but she managed to roll them into fists. Michael turned his head slightly, his voice was a low rumble. “You were a contributing factor in making her suffer. You're a disgrace, Daniel. You know nothing about loyalty.”Daniel’s
