Alle Kapitel von Tasting all my enemies’ Lovers: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 8

River’s POV For ten long minutes, I had been jogging on the same spot, my legs moving so fast that my knees ached and my lungs burned with every breath. The night breeze swept across the rooftop, chilling my sweat-soaked skin, but the cold offered no relief. Sweat trickled down my forehead, stung my eyes, and rolled along my cheeks. My shirt clung to my back, and my chest burned with every breath, my knees trembled so badly that I could barely keep myself upright. I needed a break. Just a few seconds to catch my breath, but the moment I slowed down, something sharp struck my back. I cried, stumbling forward. “Hey! Who told you to slow down?” Jade screamed, raising the thin stick in her hand. I instinctively covered my head with both hands. “I’m sorry!” Tears blurred my vision as I hurried to move my legs again. “Then keep moving!” She raised the stick. “Do you think we’re wasting our time here for fun?.” I shook my head quickly and forced my legs to move again.

River’s POV Twenty-seven years. That was how long I had lived before finally transforming myself into everything they had once believed I could never become. Twenty-seven years of carrying wounds nobody could see, living with memories that refused to stay buried. Well, it was time for them to pay. But I was no longer the same helpless girl they had once trampled on. Life, had given me a second chance, and I intended to use every last bit of it. A slow smile crept across my face as I surveyed the room before me. My little revenge room. A projector hummed softly in the corner, casting a pale glow across the opposite wall, where I had pinned pictures of the people who had destroyed my life. I took a few steps forward, my eyes settling on the first section. Kehlani George. There she was, wearing that familiar smile in her high school graduation picture. I could almost hear her laughter as I stared at the photograph. Beside it were pictures from her college graduation, birthday ce

RIVER’S POV He paused, a crooked smirk pulled at his lips.“What?” His voice was low and teasing. “You can’t take seven inches?” I rolled my eyes. “I know you’re not up to that.” His eyebrows shot up, as he scoffed, clearly offended by my confidence, then he did the most bizarre thing ever, he stared at the juice in his hands and licked it, then smirked as he nodded.“Aren’t we here to find out?” I quickly closed my mouth that was literally on the floor. Something in me told me that this was going to be hard, but i was already here and I didn’t intend to cower before the green-eyes monster staring hungrily at me. “Before that,” I said, straightening my dress, “I’d like to discuss payment for my services.” His expression changed. “Thought you already stated it?” My eyes narrowed. “The penthouse rent?” He tilted his head. “Or were you aiming for something higher than that?” I shook my head. “I want something else,.. something less than that.” A disbelieving laugh esca

River’s POV “How long have you been modeling?” the woman seated on Kehlani’s left asked, flipping through the pages of my portfolio. “I started two years ago,” I answered, keeping my voice steady despite the pair of blue eyes fixed on me. I could feel Kehlani studying me. Her gaze lingered on my face for a moment before traveling down to my shoes, and I resisted the urge to smile. So, she hadn’t recognized me. Of course, she wouldn’t. The girl she remembered had been a completely different person, someone she could humiliate without a second thought. The woman standing before her now was someone she couldn’t afford to dismiss so easily. “Hey! Come closer.” Kehlani crooked a finger at me. I lifted my head and offered her a polite smile before taking two steps forward. She leaned back in her chair, as she examined me from head to toe. Her eyes moved slowly over my outfit before returning to my face. Then she tilted her head, as her brows furrowed. I glanced down at myself
