All Chapters of A Game Of Revenge: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Rumors of me being arrogant and rude spread in the office and all I could do was to remain silent because I couldn’t give any justification. I was stuck in a very undesirable situation with no hopes of liberation. It was like I was on a wall and in front of me was a demon from my past and behind me was a fire of vengeance and both of them were fierce and I felt so vulnerable.‘Did Lucien tell Mr. Layne about me?’I shuddered, no if he did Mr. Layne will never miss the opportunity to make a show of my scars or taunt me about them endlessly. He would even fire me as well.I sighed and pulled my hair in frustration but thankfully to break that stress, a knock appeared on the door."Come in." I said and cleared my throat when Jasper; Our Director of Finance came. "Ms. Beth, You asked me to stop the aid of Hydra Malls. I need to discuss it with you." I nodded and got up from my seat. We sat on the chairs in the corner of my cabin and were discussing it. "-But it can affect both of us."

After Lucien left, I was worried, I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t refuse either. Left with no choice, I complied with his demand. I hesitantly put my hand over Mr. Layne’s shoulder and shook him slightly."Mr. Layne, let's go." He moved up and looked at me with his eyes narrowed and mystified. He kept staring at me with his intense gaze, drying my throat. “Let’s go, Sir.” I called again, worried at his lack of reaction.I opened my mouth again but without a warning, he held my wrist and yanked me to him, releasing a gasp from me.To not fall on his chest, I held him, my hand clutching his shirt tightly. Mr. Layne held my wrist while my other hand was on his chest.So close to his face that the loud sound of his breath reached my ears along with the reek of alcohol.“Sir.” I gulped. The synchronization with his beat halted my being as I slowly raised my gaze and looked at him, staring profoundly in his beautiful eyes. Trying not to get tempted. "Don't. Touch. Me. Again." He

I was there; in her reflection. I stilled as everything around me stopped when I noticed that look of hers.My eyes narrowed in compassion, upon seeing her messy form, begging me to spare her some mercy. Left with the inability to think, I loosen my grip on her wrist and moved my back immediately realizing what I was about to do and wiped her tears as my lips began to quiver in fear. “G-Garnet, I..” With guilt consuming me, I couldn't speak further.My breath was uneven- ‘What have I done?!’ I moved back. She was still shaking because of the previous ordeal I gave her. I couldn't even look at her and felt angry at myself. “Why are you doing this? Does it satisfy you?!” She growled, wiping her tears.Her tears pricked my heart, “No! I swear It did not… I.. don’t know what happened to me.” I pulled away from her and after a few seconds, I picked the tissue box on the table and gave it to her and sat beside her. She gasped and moved back in terror. That moment, the fear she held i

He dropped me off outside Lesley's apartment, I got out and was about to leave but he stopped me. In his presence, I feel alarmed mostly. Either my dilemma of facing his temptation or intimidation. "Garnet, wait." He got out, coming after me.“Yes, Sir?” I turned to him, he was standing too close. I scanned him from top to bottom in irk and maintained a fair distance from his tainted presence. "At least not mine." He paused.He brought his hand close to my face with that charming smile enhancing his features. I felt strange when he smiled. Even this smile felt wicked. "But, I do have an important possession of yours- If you consider it one in the first place."Perplexed, I tried to play safe and not fall into the trap he laid out for me. His sweetness rang onto the bells of a worse outcome. Not a good omen."What are you talking about?" I kept frowning. Not being able to understand, like why is he trying to touch me in public and the fact that we are in 'public' is giving me co

ROY‘Where are you?’ I sighed at the text of my girlfriend Hailey and threw my phone away, not paying attention to it. I was in the fireplace of my house losing my ability to think straight, losing my path where I was skeptical about Georgia’s idea. ‘What if it broke her badly?’I was still debating whether it was a good idea or not. ‘Then what’s the point of my vengeance if it wouldn’t? Am I sure it is not too much?’I grit my teeth in anger, feeling infuriated at myself for becoming Mr. Layne, the sight where I made her cry was not obliterating from my mind. “Dammit.”I growled under my breath, staring at the fire with my one leg over the other, farming at myself.I couldn’t forgive myself for this.To make up for my unforgivable mistake, I plucked a rose from my garden of white roses. I spent my childhood building that garden. The place where I talked to myself and felt peaceful. ‘Can I do it? Will I be able to break her?’"What happened?" A soft hand ruffled my hairs as a
