Sweet Revenge Chapter 15: Grow Stronger
Our love grew stronger in time. I was now 21 and she was turning 18 in a few months. Though it was hidden, we managed to see and contact each other almost every day. There was an old oak tree at the back of the mansion facing the lake. That tree became the witness to our deep affection."You know, we can't lie to Mr. Oak if it could just talk!" Amy Leah uttered while staring at how I carved her name with my dagger. I just carved our names together inside a heart. "It's perfect!" she whispered as her fingers touched the rough carvings."It is. And with your statement earlier, what could we lie to Mr. Oak? This tree knows how much I love you and how much you mean to me!" I slid my thumb on her cheek down to her chin gently lifting them so I could nibble her lips."Hmm!" she moaned with my gentle caress. "I agree with you. Des, you've passed the entrance exam at the university where I also study. I can't wait to start this semester with you!" her hands on my chest developed a voltage of
Sweet Revenge Chapter 16: Meeting His Rival
"Desmond, Señora is looking for you. She's in the garden!" Jack casually told me after parking the black van."You went to the market? It's 7 AM!" I asked squinting my eyes at him and the stuff he brought out from the van. "That's full of fresh groceries and spices!" I uttered upon taking a swift glimpse at the items in the big plastic boxes."Yeah, Well, we have a VIP coming!" Jack muttered while carrying the plastic box. "These are just a few. Noemi and I already bought the meat yesterday. We had to go to the market early to buy this fresh seafood and vegetables!" Noemi was his twin sister and also worked as a servant in the mansion. They were in their 20s and both were nice and friendly but I found Noemi stronger in personality than her brother."Jack, hurry! Elsa's gonna prepare five courses of meals for the dinner!" that's her roaring at her brother with her hands on her waist."Gotta go! My tigress sister is calling me now!" he smilingly said making his voice louder on purpose.
Sweet Revenge Chapter 17: She Has Changed
"Hey! I miss you!""Are you all right? Why aren't you replying?"I called still no response. I took a deep sigh as I leaned on the headboard of my bed. I glanced at the phone in my hand, waiting for her reply."Amy Leah, is everything all right?" I asked in a whisper imagining she could hear me.It had been days since the last time that I had spoken to her. I saw her a lot leaving the mansion in the afternoon and coming home at night but she never spoke to me. Right now, I was here in the dark living room waiting for her again. I had been doing this for the past four days but this time it was different ... The grandfather clock chimed at 12 and she didn't arrive yet."Where are you, Amy Leah?" I texted and that was the tenth time for today, plus 20 missed calls since this morning. She had been ignoring my messages and calls since that dinner with the Baileys happened.I pulled my hair as I paced back and forth in front of the wide couch. Sometimes I peeked through the glass window and
Sweet Revenge Chapter 18: The Real Her
The next day, I woke up earlier than usual. I was in the kitchen blankly watching Elsa and Noemi prepare breakfast. Elsa glanced at me once in a while but Noemi glued her eyes on the vegetables she was cutting."You're up early!" Elsa nudged me with her words and I flinched in my seat, obviously, I was physically here but my mind was wandering somewhere. "Yeah, couldn't sleep and checked the winter blossoms in the garden!" I lied about my second reason."Hmm!" making Noemi groan. Even if she wasn't staring at me, I knew well that violent reaction was meant for me."And you groaned because!" I questioned, arching my eyebrow at her."Nothing!" she plastered a forced smile when she lifted her head. "You're just hurting yourself!" and muttered while giving the cut onions to Elsa."Heard that, Noemi!" I grumbled in a low tone avoiding making my voice loud. At any minute, Don Miguel and his wife would come downstairs."Noemi is right, Desmond. She's not the right girl for you. She's as high
Sweet Revenge Chapter 19: After Five Years
Those last words I heard from her shut my series of flashbacks as my mind went back to reality. The reality that she was here, standing tensed in front of me, the intensity of my gaze wasn't comforting. Though my orbs couldn't control rummaging her from head to foot like a precious specimen on a Petri dish, I restrained my urge to touch her face. She was attractive five years ago. However, the beauty that gave me sleepless nights was even more stunning now than ever."Desmond, you're alive!" her flabbergasted voice horned in on my little view. She looked joyful that I was standing in front of her, breathing."Surprise?!" the smell of sarcasm fumed my wide study room and she could scent it, too, for sure. "Why? Amy Leah, do you expect me to be an ash now?" I taunted as I stepped closer just a couple of inches away from her and she stepped back hitting the door. She had nowhere else to go."I...I don't understand what you mean!" she stuttered while tears began to roll down her cheek, my
Sweet Revenge Chapter 20: Messed Up Mess
Amy Leah POV.."How could he say that to me, Iñigo? After all these years. He hates me a lot. I understand that he built grudges against me for what I've done to him but!" I couldn't continue my litany, in deep thoughts, he had all the right to get mad at me.However, the only person I was venting my rage to at the moment was smiling from ear to ear while he glanced at the entrance of his glorious villa from time to time."He's alive. Desmond didn't get burned by that fire!" he even adjusted his seat and glanced over his shoulder. "Señorita, are you sure that's Desmond?" I could feel his euphoria in the air."Iñigo?!" I stomped my feet while giving him a dagger stare. Don't mess with me now, Iñigo. I'm not in the good mood!"Ops! My bad!" he shrugged off and sat still. "Just that I can't believe, he's still alive. I mean, there's been no news about him for the past five years!" he revved the engine while he kept speaking about Desmond. "Also, he has changed his last name. From Thomp
Sweet Revenge Chapter 21: Meeting Him Again
I was exhausted yesterday that I slept without a hassle. Totally different from the past few months. Since I received a letter from the court about six months ago that Liam didn't leave Bailey International to me, I became restless. Added to that was dad's passing and then this current company's situation. All of these drained me to the core.I stretched my hands in the air and inhaled the fresh air in the morning. I even forgot to close the window last night, hence, the winter breeze welcomed my presence."Great morning, sunshine!" my alarm clock on the side table spoke as it ticked to six.That's been my morning routine since, waking up at six and exercising before I would head to the dining room and have my breakfast. I was not really a breakfast person but one particular individual in the world taught me how important to fill your stomach in the morning.And that individual was the one I met yesterday...again. After five years.I got off my bed and planned to head to the gym that'
Sweet Revenge Chapter 22: The Revelation
In the afternoon, I had an uninvited visitor. It's Guinevere and she looked stunning in her off-shouldered knitted light pink sweater and blue skinny jeans. She paired her outfit with knee-length and three-inch-high-heel white boots and her long straight hair was ponytailed, it contoured her oval shape face. On her earlobes were round earrings shaded in metallic gold. Her beauty was effortless."Mrs. Bailey!" her voice was calm and angelic, too."Good afternoon, Ms. Basile. May I help you?" I asked in return.Knowing she was Desmond's current girlfriend made me feel unconscious that I had to secretly glance at the glass wall for my reflection. Shame! I was just in my simple home one-piece dress, decent enough but couldn't be compared to hers. I didn't also comb my hair yet. Hadn't showered since yesterday yet."Actually, it's the other way around. May I come in?" she smiled briefly.I nodded and stepped aside giving her a way. "Let's talk on the 3rd floor. The lift is this way!" I rai
