Better Than Revenge By Taylor Swift Lyrics Novels & Stories

Her hand reached out tentatively, then stopped just short of touching my arm. "About what happened to Scarlett and her precious pup, I know deep in my heart you didn't mean for things to turn out this way." "You were probably just confused, maybe the wolfsbane affected your judgment. These things happen to the best warriors." "Don't worry, sweetheart. As long as you confess voluntarily and show proper remorse, we'll write you a full letter of forgiveness." Hearing this, I turned to look at Scarlett's mother. In my previous life, before the test results came out, she had approached me with these identical words.

“Why did you return, Elizabeth? I thought you were dead.” "Maybe it was fate, Celestine. Fate brought me back to the very place that rejected me," I stated confidently, raising my chin. "I intend to prove to everyone, yourself included, that I am no longer the woman they mocked and ridiculed. If I wanted to, I could easily surpass you and dismantle the career you are so proud of.” Her fists clenched at her sides, a sneer on her face. "Ha! You're nothing without your husband's money! Just marrying a wealthy man doesn't put us on the same level! You're just a gold digger!”

I could feel his rage burning through the phone, even though he was miles away, like a heat wrapping around me. “They did this to you? You lost your leg for that bastard and they still mistreated you? I’m going to ruin them. I swear it.” “No!” I snapped, sitting upright, swiping tears off my cheeks. “No, Ric. That won’t be sweet enough. That’s not the best revenge.” There was silence. Then, quieter and more focused, he asked, “What do you want to do?” “I want to destroy them myself,” I said, voice calm, a dark certainty hardening inside me. “But not fast. Slowly. Gently. I want them to rot from the inside out.”

"Our companies, our marriage, our future family, that's what matters now." Julian joined me at the window, wrapping his arms around me from behind. "I'm proud of you for letting go of the hatred." "It wasn't easy to do so at first. But I just channeled all that energy into something better." I leaned back against his chest. "Every successful deal, every award, every dollar we make is proof that good people can triumph over evil." "Even if the evil people are still out there somewhere." "The best revenge isn't making your enemies suffer. It's making yourself so successful that their suffering becomes irrelevant."

“And he still cheated. You gave him everything. You helped her rise. And how did she repay you? She stabbed you in the back.” Selene’s grip on the sink tightened. There was a pause, then a cruel smile from the figure. “You gave him your heart, and he gave it to your best friend.” The figure leaned closer through the glass, its voice now a whisper laced with rage. “Come on, Selene. Make them pay.”

“You don’t get to miss me now that someone else sees value in me.” That finally silenced him completely. My heart leapt for joy instantly, I could not survive hearing another apology tonight. “I have to go,” I said softly. “Lora wait—” I ended the call. And for several seconds, I just stood there staring at my own reflection again while my chest rose unevenly. Old pain sure had a way of reopening itself even after you believed it healed. A soft knock sounded against the bedroom door. I wiped quickly beneath my eyes before answering. “Come in.”

Amidst their angry shouts, Steve, who had once been saved by me but then betrayed me, suddenly dropped to his knees. He slapped himself repeatedly, even drawing blood from his mouth, before he stopped. With tears streaming down his face, he begged, "I'm sorry, Mr. Leeds. I deserve this. But my son is innocent. Please, save him. Please!" But no matter how much he begged, I was no longer soft. I simply said, "I can't help you." But before I walked away, I did leave them with Yves' whereabouts. They should sort out their own problems.

She murmured as her own thoughts scared the hell out of her. She rinsed the soap and changed into comfortable clothing. Lauren was also done freshening up so they cooked together. Tylor Swift's 'Blank Space' was beaming through the speakers. ~Nice to meet you, where have you been? I could show you incredible things Magic, madness, heaven, sin Saw you there and I thought Oh, my God, look at that face! You look like my next mistake Love's a game, wanna play?~ Elysia felt like the song was just portraying her feelings. 'Is it too early to move on? Is it okay for me to think about some man?' She was scared of her own heart.

I've dug two graves for us, my dear Can't pretend that I was perfect, leavin' you in fear Oh man, what a world, the things I hear If I could act on my revenge, then, oh, would I? Some kill, some steal, some break your heart....'
