REBORN FOR REVENGE Twenty two
SCARLET POVIt had been forty-eight hours and I was still reminiscing about the whole encounter with Raphael Batista. My hands still trembled just thinking about how he'd bypassed my whole security team and gotten right into my room.Antonov had wanted to travel back once he got the report but a firm refusal from me and promises to keep more bodyguards placated him enough to let him stay back with Elde.The only thing left now for me to turn off my mind because every time I closed my eyes, Raphael's crazy icy stare assailed my senses."Goddamn it. This is going nowhere" I groaned, dragging my hand through my hair when the door to my office flung open and Margo marched in, the whole aura about her screaming righteous indignation.Margo got to my desk and then slammed the memorandum I'd ordered to be distributed around each office onto it."How dare you do this without consulting me or Miguel" she barked, tapping at the memorandum viciously. "I don't know if you're forgetting that I bas
REBORN FOR REVENGE Twenty three
MARGO POV.Things were going to shit! The memory of Miguel walking Into my office while I'd been clutching the evidence of my disloyalty was forever ingrained in my head. He'd been distracted and angry about his new office, so he hadn't really taken note of how pale with fear I'd been. I'd managed to go around my desk, stash the pictures in my file cabinet, and managed to persuade him that I'd get someone to redesign his new workspace without him suspecting a thing. All in all, it had almost destroyed me. If Miguel had seen those pictures, I would have been ruined. He would have surely asked for a divorce because part of our agreement before we got married was that once either of us cheated, the marriage was over.God this was a nightmare and on top of all that, Scarlet was pissing me off. She said she wanted to get revenge and even though she said I wasn't her target, that didn't stop me from worrying. The look in her eyes had been ice cold, and she was shifty, which only meant that
REBORN FOR REVENGE Twenty four
SCARLET POVThere was no way Bianca knew me in the past. I didn't even know who she was and all of a sudden she was here telling me that I reminded her of myself from the past when we never crossed paths in our lives.Did Margo suspect something and put her up to this? There was just no way she could have found out I was Eve... If she did, she would have done something, so maybe she just suspected... No, I was blowing things out of proportion. There was no way Margo knew about me. She believed I was dead. Bianca cleared her throat, then rubbed her hand over her arms awkwardly and I realized that I was glaring and watching her intently."I mean, it's really not that serious, I just think you are similar to her that's all" she rambled nervously, her eyes darting around the empty office as if she expected someone to suddenly jump out of the obvious empty space. "Why are you telling me all this... I didn't even know Margo had a sister" I got out evenly even tho what I felt inside was an

RAPHAEL BATISTA POV "What are you going to do? Rape me like you did that girl when you were in high school, you fucking scum""No. Because I am not a fucking rapist" I yelled at the empty room, my breath coming out in harsh puffs of air. Her words spoken some days before still felt like acid burning through my mind... It wasn't exactly the way she'd said it, it was the look in her eyes as if she believed I was going to do the same thing to her.I should despise her for judging me just as the rest of the world did, instead, I kept hovering over her and I didn't even know why I couldn't shake off the compulsive obsessive behavior.But she'd been the one to demand my attention. I warned her to leave and since she didn't, then it was all going to be fair when I destroyed her.Her words had tormented me, giving me sleepless nights and making me remember all the bad memories I'd managed to keep suppressed. Scarlet hated me and yet she was fraternizing with the very people responsible fo
REBORN FOR REVENGE Twenty Six
RAPHAEL BATISTA POV CONFERENCE. Scarlet had a smile on her face as she spoke with Miguel and it just made me see red. It wasn't just them talking but it might as well have been, since Miguel was hanging on her every word as if they were the very essentials of life.She'd consumed my thoughts through the days leading up to the conference, and now as I watched her, I knew what it was I felt every time I thought of her. I gripped Kristen's wrist tighter and she winced, an audible gasp falling from her lips. I let her go as if I'd been burned when a camera flashed in our direction.Sighing in frustration because I knew an article painting me in a bad light would be coming out soon, I turned to face her. "Sorry about that," I said, taking her hand and inspecting her wrist where a bruise was already forming, then I glanced up to see her watching me."You have been staring at her all night" she stated and I didn't even need to look to know she was referring to
REBORN FOR REVENGE Twenty Seven
SCARLET POV "This conference was a bad idea" I murmured to myself as I dug around for my pills, my gaze blurring a bit as my head throbbed.I'd managed to convince Kristine to Collab with me on the new project I had for the company, and when my head started acting up again, I spent the rest of the night trying to lose her, and once I did, I'd just dived into the closest room I could find and shut the door. Grabbing the pills, I opened the bottles, but I must have been too forceful because everything flew up in the air and scattered around me.I groaned, then whirled around when I heard the door that I was sure had been closed the entire time I'd been in here make a sound. "Raphael" I choked out his first name out of shock. He exhaled shakily, relief flooding his face as his hand clenched on the handle of the door. "God! I thought I lost you" he rumbled, his voice causing my skin to break out in goosebumps. I gaped at him, at his frame blocking the door that led out to the party,
REBORN FOR REVENGE Twenty Eight
SCARLET POVI had no idea how the conference ended... The evening had gone by in a blur after Kristine had come to find us in the room we'd been locked in. She'd gotten someone to help her get Raphael out of the party without anyone noticing his drunken state and then she'd told me without mincing words that she wouldn't be doing business with me.It was as well because I didn't want to have anything to do with anything related to Raphael.He was dangerous, more dangerous than I thought he was.Groaning, I clutched my hair and slammed my head against my office desk. I hadn't even been drunk and yet I'd kissed him back, and I still couldn't stop thinking about it."Enough of this bullshit" I yelled into the space, got up from my seat, and started to pace the room.Would he remember? He'd been drunk and he'd also called me Eve... Maybe it was her he thought he kissed... He'd confessed that Eve was his first love."But it's so absurd. He literally never even talked to me once" except a
REBORN FOR REVENGE Twenty nine
MARGO POV. EARLIER.Anton's body had been found and as I sat in my office I couldn't help but feel anxious. If they carried out an autopsy would they find out that he'd been murdered? Darn it! I should have just told Andre to burn the body, but he'd had such a nice body... The perfect body if I was being more honest. How could I possibly destroy that after snuffing the light out of his beautiful eyes? I'd instructed Andre to make it look like it was suicide, but I wasn't sure how perfectly he had managed to pull it off. The bastard probably did a halfhearted work... Did I have to live in fucking fear of the cops coming to knock on my door at any minute now? God this was nerve wrecking. I slammed my hand on the desk, the sound jarring in the silent space. "It's done and I can't regret it now. I just have to keep on going about life the same way I did before. There's no way they'll ever find out that I'd been the last person to visit him... I just hope they put a fucking dimwi
