REVENGE GONE WRONG
EPISODE ONE
{EMMA’S POV}
” Like I said Emma, it is very important that
you find a way to make these payments,
otherwise you won’t be able to keep your dad
at the hospital, I spoke to the board again and
they refused to keep founding your dad’s
treatment, specially in his condition. You know
there’s no much hope, so they rather spend
that money in other cases with higher
percentage in terms of success in the
recovery”. I heard Dr. Collins in a stage of
numbness, tears about to pop out ma-king my
green eyes look crystallized.
“How can they give up on my dad so easily ? I
know he’ll recover, one day he’ll open up his
eyes, Dr. Collins I can’t give up on the only
good thing I have left in my life …. plea-se.”
“I’m very sorry Emma, I promise I did
everything in my power to help you guys, I
even waved my fees to lower the costs and
persuade them, but they had their minds set,
the equipment and medication your dad nee-ds
are very expensive, is a hvge cost to the
hospital, plea-se un-derstand his situation is very
difficult”. Dr Collins said holding my shoulders
in a unsuccessful attempt to comfort me. I left
the hospital feeling defeated and lonelier than
ever, having to leave my dad at a place where I
knew his recovery wasn’t a priority was killing
me, I had to do something, I had to find a way
to get the money.
The next morning I woke up and got re-ady for
work as usual. As I walked out of the
ap@rtment I saw with the corner of my eye a
paper stamped in my door ma-king me go back
to see what was this about, my eyes grew
wi-de and my heart dropped the second I re-ad
the title of the letter written in big bold letters.
“EVICTION NOTICE”
Didn’t bother to re-ad the content of the letter I
knew what this was about, I was two months
late on my rent, my salary as a waitress wasn’t
enough to get me throu-ghout the month, my
situation was like a constant fight which I
never won. I cried my way to work feeling
miserable, I failed in life, soon I was going to
be living on the streets.
Arriving to work with red puffy eyes I went
straight to the bathroom to wash my face. I
got busy with my day and that helped me keep
my mind away from my problems.
Around 7 pm I noticed a customer in one of
the tables staring at me while drinking from a
glas-s of scotch, he was in one of the other
waitress tables so I decided to ignore the
situation and continue with my very busy
evening, it is very common in this kind of job
to cross paths with one or two creeps.
My shift c@m£ to an end and I was craving for
a shower and my feet for some rest, I got my
bag and my coat and headed out of the
restaurant hopping to get the last bus towards
my house, otherwise my very tired feet will
have to endure another 45 minute walk to
reach home.
I was nearly walking for 5 minutes when I felt
a pres£nce behind me, immediately a shiver
ran down my spine, it was dark and very late, I
could get killed in this empty street and no
b©dy will notice, I said a small prayer in my
head “God plea-se s£nd an angel to save me” .
Right after I finished my prayer I felt someone
gr-abbing my arm and pu-lling me in the
opposite direction I was walking, I felt my
b©dy crashing into a ha-rd che-st, immediately a
musky earthy fragrance filled my nostrils and I
looked up.

{ADAM’S POV}
Finally after two years I was so close to put
my hands on her, good I hate her so much.
Ever since the day I realized Thomas Ross had
a daughter I knew I had to take my revenge on
her. I nee-ded to heal from all this pain burning
inside of me.
For now, is better to hide my real intentions
and once I have her eating from the palm of
my hand I’ll make her pay for every single tear
and every single sleepless night I had over the
last two years.
I gr@bb£d her arm and, have to admit, I had to
control myself from gr-abbing her too ha-rd , my
anger was taking the best of me, I could see a
hint of fear in her eyes and that gave me so
much plea-sure, after all that’s what I’m here
for. We looked into each other’s eyes for about
then seconds and I heard my inner voice
saying “she’s innocent, let her go, don’t make
her pay for other people’s mistakes” .
Immediately I wiped off the stupid thought, I
don’t care if she didn’t kill Amy directly
because the person who did is now dead and
it was her father, someone has to pay and
since Thomas is not here to do so she will
have to take his place.
“Who are you and why you’re following me?”
She demanded walking me out of my
thoughts.
“I’m Adam McRoberts”
“Your name sounds familiar but I don’t think I
know you, plea-se let me go”
” I saw you working really ha-rd this afternoon,
and thought that maybe you wanted a change
in your life.”
“I don’t know what your trying to say and I
don’t care”.
She said pu-lling her arm from my hold in a
sudden rou-gh move, I saw how she walked
away and knew I had to make something up
very quic-k otherwise will loose my opportunity.
“250 thousand dollars if you marry me” I said
to her back as she walked away from me. She
st©pped and stud there thinking , her back still
facing me. I couldn’t hide the sm-irk plastered
on my face, just what I thought, a gold digger
re-ady to sell herself, this is going to be easier
than I thought. She turned to me her eyes in
mine, God dammit there’s something in her
eyes that makes me think this is bad idea f****
witch.
“Why are you offering me this?”
” I just happen to nee-d a beautiful wife to
accompany me to events, someone to get
home to and it also gives my image some
credibility and respect being a husband, and
I’m willing to pay really good to anyone with
these characteristics, I’ll take care of your
expenses and you’ll only have to be the pretty
face next to me”
“How do I know you are not fake and that you
have that kind of money?”
“Do I look like tramp to you?”
“I don’t know, this is all very strange,
something seems off.”
“Listen I know this is not the conventional way
people get married, but that doesn’t mean we
can’t have a happy life together, you will never
have to worry about money and who knows we
might end up being friends or something else,
I don’t know time will tell.” I lied ma-king the
biggest effort to not throw up.
“I nee-d some time to process this.”
“That’s un-derstandable, here take my card and
contact me tomorrow, you only have until
tomorrow, If I don’t hear from you by the end
of the day I’ll take it as a “no” and find
someb©dy else.”
I gave her some time as away to pressure her,
I do this all the time to close my deals, I give
them some time ma-king them believe is an
opportunity to think things thru, little do they
know it won’t be enough time to think about he
cons of sighing the deal, and in t©p of it I give
them a little hint that someone might be
interested in the same deal as, just in case
they nee-d an extra encouragement, that’s why I
knew she’ll say yes. I saw how her eyes shone
at the thought of money, you want money
Emma Ross, I’ll give you money. You love
money now, but I’ll make sure end hating
money as much as I hate you.
EMMA’S POV
I reached my phone to look at the time, it was
7am, I’ve been in be-d for the last six hours
unable to catch any sleep, the offer from
…what was his name again, I gr@bb£d the card
from the night table next to my be-d, oh Adam
McRoberts kept me awake the entire night,
250 thousand dollars will definitely help my
dad so much, that was at least one year of
treatment in the best hospital with the best
doctor, God only knows how much I nee-d that
money.
Adam McRoberts, how couldn’t I figure it out
earlier, his name was always in the news. He
owns a hvge construction company, this entire
city was pretty much built by McRoberts
Industrial Inc, maybe this wasn’t a bad idea
after all , I’m share he has the money to pay
me what he offered. However something about
this Adam seemed off. Thinking about the evil
sm-irk on his face still s£nds shivers down my
spine, and at the same time I can’t deny how
handsome he is, oh… and his masculine
scent, is weird how something pu-lls me to him
and away from him at the same time.
“Emma what’s wrong with you? You always said
you’ll only share your life with someone you
loved very de-eply, why has your mind suddenly
changed” . My inner voice asked, as a little girl
I pictured a fairy tale wedding with my Prince
Charming whom I shared a beautiful love story
and de-ep feelings of love and affection, guess
that’s not the case, at least not for me, my life
was far from being a fairy tale.
Leaving the ap@rtment to go to work I opened
the front door and what I saw was the worst of
my nightmares.
“Hey sis, missed me?”
