REBORN FOR REVENGE Fifty
SCARLET POVMargo hadn't taken the glass of juice just as I'd anticipated but still, I was sure with the way I'd tormented her and reminded her of how Miguel had abandoned her for another woman, the first thing she was going to do once she got to her room was take the pills the doctor had prescribed for her just some days back. And I was certain that would have worked and calmed her frayed nerve, but the thing was that I'd switched them out with some of my hallucinogenic drugs, so I wasn't surprised when after a while I heard her talking to herself in her room. I could feel the panic in her voice, and instead of abating the hatred I had for her in my heart, it just poisoned me further.Margo deserved what I was putting her through and more, but I couldn't help but feel shitty as she let out a bone-chilling scream.Two wrongs didn't make a right they said, but the pain in my heart was still so raw from what she had done to me in the past, and what she had tried to do before all these

It was as if I was at that edge of the hill once again... I could see her clearly and this time as she shoved me to my death, she grinned wickedly, the mirth in her eyes glistening as she watched me plunge to my death."No" I gasped, reaching up to shield my face as the knife she held headed straight for my eyesSomeone suddenly shoved me and I crashed to the floor, my head almost smacking against the tiles but I raised my elbow to shield it instead and that took the burn off the fall. Pain radiated up my arms and I groaned, darkness creeping into my vision.

SCARLET POV.I hadn't meant to blurt it out, but I was so mad and tired of everything that I'd been yelling it out before I could take it back, and once it was out there was no way I could bring myself to call them back. Maybe this was what I should have done from the very beginning, maybe he would have given up on me if he knew that I wasn't the woman he loved so much. "What the hell are you... What do you mean you are not Scarlet" he asked after one tense minute of absolute silence."Exactly what it means" I got out on a tired breath, my head pounding In my ears. "I am sorry for everything Pierce. Maybe the real Scarlet would have loved you with her whole heart but I am not her and no matter what you do I can never bring myself to fall in love with you"Pierce got up from the bed and I moved back instinctively when he stepped toward me.

And then I was plunging, falling fast, my scream fading in the air no matter how loud I yelled until I crashed to the floor beneath, my bone shattering into a million pieces.******I woke up with a start, my heart pounding against my ribcage as rivulets of sweat-drenched me from head to toe.I tried to sit up when something snapped against my wrist and before I could blink, I was being hoisted up from the bed."What the hell is going on" I yelled as the man who'd yanked me up started to pull me out of the room.

RAPHAEL BATISTA POV"I already told you that I wasn't going to get married to Kristine so what the hell am I seeing In the news right now" I yelled and resisted to urge to smash my fist into something.Mother sighed in exasperation. "Why are you being so difficult huh? Your father warned you that he was going to take matters into his own hands if you didn't do anything about his orders, didn't he? You should have seen this coming before he even went through with it, and believe me when I tell you that I tried to talk him out of it"I groaned, gripping at my hair and tugging at it until my scalp tingled with pain. "You both fucking abandoned me and I accepted it, but now all of a sudden I am your major concern. Why the hell can't you both just learn to let me be? Is this because of Margo's case, is it because I am no longer a criminal in your eyes, is that why I am suddenly your son""Don't be ridiculous, we have always been solidly behind your back. You have always been our son. Do no

"when I do, I'll decide if I'll tell him who I really am or not"Elde moved closer. "Are you okay though? I have been watching you ever since you got back and despite getting your revenge, you haven't smiled in weeks...

"The trial has just been a little hectic that's all," I told her, opening my eyes to meet her very worried ones.She nodded. "If you want the world to know that you are Eve, there's nothing stopping you my child, not even me... I don't care what name you choose to be bear or if the world finds out that you are not really my child, to me, you are my flesh and blood" she sa

SCARLET POV"You really should see Raphael. You have canceled your appointment with him for the fourth time in two weeks and even I am embarrassed with all the excuses I have to come up with" Bianca said but it sounded as if she was speaking from a faraway place.My gaze was fixed on the bouquet of flowers that Pierce had sent to my office and the box of chocolate beside it. He'd given them to me with a wide smile on his face just this morning and Instead of making me feel butterflies, it just made me feel sad and anxious because I knew he was going to be crushed in the end.

RAPHAEL BATISTAScarlet Antonio Rivera was standing in the elevator and her eyes were wide open in surprise as she saw me. She was clutching at her hair and sweat dripped down her hairline as if she'd been struggling with something in the enclosed space. I stared at her, totally speechless as I took in the most beautiful pair of green eyes I'd ever seen and when I looked closer, it felt as if I'd always stared into those eyes for as long as I could remember. Scarlet lowered her gaze and dropped her hand from her hair, but I noticed the strands that were clutched in her deathlike grip and it had me wondering why she'd been tugging so hard at her hair. I stepped into the elevator with her and once the door closed, sealing the both of us in, I had to resist the urge to grab and tilt her chin so that she could look at me just as she'd done before. I couldn't believe she was here since no matter how many appointments I had with her assistant, I had never met her in person.I turned to
