"How did you guys get here? I thought River never gave his password to anyone else."Indeed,” Evan replied, his smile growing, “but it's easy to guess whose birthday date is the password River used.”My breath caught when I saw Evan glance at Alison with a proud, triumphant smile. And he suddenly changed his expression to one of surprise and concern when he looked at me. "Jeez, Mia, you really don't know anything, do you?""Evan, honey, don't talk to Mia like that. She'll get confused." Alison said softly, like a mother to her five-year-old son. Gosh, Alison wasn't even around when Evan was five! They probably never even met before. Evan should be upset at Alison for abandoning him. Or at the very least, their relationship should have been awkward, instead of being so close and sweet like this, as if nothing bad ever happened to them.Evan shrugged indifferently, then grinned. "Sorry to have confused you, Mia."Putting aside the fact that had just pierced my heart, I let out a long si
Revenge in Silk Chapter 51. Watch your words
Lost in my thoughts, I didn't hear the soft knock on the door at first. It was only when River's voice called out gently, "Mia, can I come in?" that I snapped back to reality. I hesitated for a moment, still feeling raw from the confrontation with Evan and Alison. But I knew I couldn't avoid River forever, so I took a deep breath and decided the crazy things in my brain.I grabbed my coat and bag before unlocking the bedroom door.His eyes held concern as he looked at me, his brows furrowed with worry. “Where are you going, Mia?"Anger had engulfed me. "Don't get in my way." Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision as I pushed past River and made my way out of the bedroom. I couldn't bear to look at him, not when my heart felt like it was being torn apart. The sound of his footsteps following me only fueled my anger further.“Mia, please. Talk to me,” he pleaded, reaching out a hand as if to stop me. But I was beyond listening, consumed by a whirlwind of emotions that threatened
Revenge in Silk Chapter 52. Merry Christmas
When the lift opened on my unit floor, a familiar face was the first thing I saw. "Mia?" The girl was startled when she saw me, either because of why I was suddenly in this building, or perhaps because of the condition I was in. I couldn't be sure which.My face pained at the sight of those blue eyes and blonde hair. Geez, Cailin, I can't if I have to face you again at this time.I tried to ignore her and walk through, but suddenly my steps staggered and Cailin managed to catch me."Mia, are you okay?" Cailin's face showed concern.I couldn't refuse when Cailin insisted on walking me to my unit. My head was too dizzy to press the keys on the padsword so I told Cailin my door code for her to open it for me. Let me replace it with a new code later.After the door successfully opened, Cailin fumbled around the wall for the light switch, perhaps she had visited Addy's unit a few times so she knew where it was, since the layout of my room and Addy's-and probably all the units in this build
Revenge in Silk Chapter 53. What do you wish for?
Addy took me out for Christmas Eve, visiting Rockefeller Center to see the sparkling lights and the gigantic Christmas tree. The cold winter air nipped at our cheeks as we walked arm in arm, the bustling crowd around us adding to the festive atmosphere. Addy's infectious laughter filled the air, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth in my heart.As we walked around, sipping hot chocolate to keep warm in the winter chill, Addy nudged me with her elbow. "Do you want to make a wish under the tree?"I raised an eyebrow at her mischievous grin. “Are you seven?”Addy laughed, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "Come on, Mia! It's Christmas Eve. Let's make a wish just for fun."I couldn’t help but smile at her infectious enthusiasm. "Fine, let's do it."We made our way through the crowd towards the towering Christmas tree, its colorful lights illuminating the night sky. Standing beneath its branches, surrounded by other cheerful visitors, I closed my eyes and silently made a wish i
Revenge in Silk Chapter 54. Let's go back home
"I'm going to terminate my pregnancy," I said as I stared blankly at the road ahead. How did I get pregnant? I always take my pills on time. I never failed to take them, even when I wasn't sexually active anymore due to the transition between my relationship with Evan and River."No, you can't," Addy, sitting next to me driving, replied firmly. She then let out a long sigh. “I mean, think it through first, once your mind is calm, once you're able to put your thoughts in order.”I shook my head. "I can't do that.” My shoulders trembled as I clutched my own face. “Why would I get pregnant when things are so messed up like this?”Addy reached out and took my hand, her grip firm and comforting. “Mia, I think you should talk to River. After all, he's the father of your baby. He has a right to know and a duty to take responsibility.”I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. "I just can't go through with it, Addy. I do love him, but I don't know if we can make things work. And I d
Revenge in Silk Chapter 55. Take care of yourself
“Are you sure you want to do this?”It was the first day of work after the Christmas holidays. Addy was standing behind me as I was facing the screen of her computer that I had borrowed. Her hand touched my shoulder to question my decision.My eyes stared at the lines of words on the computer screen. I nodded confidently. "I've thought it through.""Alright," she said. "Get to work then. I will take care of everything here." hhAfter Addy left, I turned my attention back to the computer screen, my fingers trembling slightly as I clicking the print icon there, my heart raced at the sound of a blank sheet of paper entering the printing press and then coming out with text on it.I put my signature on the letter, then put it in an envelope. I put the envelope into my briefcase and got up from my chair."I'm leaving first, Ads! See you in the afternoon!""Be careful on the road!" she called out with a wave, her voice instantly silenced as I closed the door to her unit.As I stepped out of
Revenge in Silk Chapter 56. Ready to go?
Stepped out of Pamela Magazine's office building, I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of emotions swirling inside me. The winter air felt cold against my skin, but there was a strange warmth in my chest knowing that I had taken a step towards following my heart. As I stood in front of the building, I couldn't help but feel a sense of liberation and trepidation at the same time.My head looked up, observing the Pamela Magazine logo on the top of the building. I'd be lying if I said I was more than willing to leave here after what I'd done in the two and a half years I'd been here to get a promotion to work at The Hera Magazine. In half a year I'll be able to realize my dream since I was a teenager, but I choose to bury it. I now have other responsibilities, I have other paths to travel. My hand rubbed my still flat belly, smiling bitterly at the realization that I had chosen this little creature over my own dreams.The sound of the horn made my head turn. Addy appeared with a big smile
Revenge in Silk 57. Hello, little flower
Three years later …The sound of laughter filled the air as Addy played peek-a-boo with my daughter in the living room. I smiled from the kitchen at the sound of their voices. A week after moving to Chicago, I decided to sign up for a cooking class for the good of the three of us, considering Addy and the kitchen were also eternal enemies. Other than that, my other goal was to find something to do, so that I wouldn't dwell in sadness for too long.As I dried my hands on a towel, I took a moment to look around our new home. It was a cozy, three-bedroom house with a small backyard, perfect for us. I couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia, thinking about the life we had left behind. Yet, I knew that this was the path we had chosen, and I wanted to make sure that it was the best one possible for my daughter.I really had left everything behind.
