Revenge gone wrong episode 10

REVENGE GONE WRONG

EPISODE TEN

That afternoon we headed to the gala Gabriella
had invited us to, I wore the only formal dress
in my suitcase. It was breathtaking to say the
least, it hvgged my figure flawlessly, silver and
white sequins gemstones and small pearls
everywhere ma-king it a little heavy but still
bearable to wear, the cut in the back showed
my legs in and elegant way. I let my hair
loose but this time straightened it, and as of
for my makeup I tried a smokey aye that didn’t
look so bad considering I wasn’t very good at
it.
“You look stunning.”
Was Adam reaction as I opened my door. He
looked like a model out of a magazine with his
three piece suit and his signature sleek
brushed hair.
“You don’t look to bad yourself.”
I wanted to abase his arrogance despite I was
dumfounded by how handsome he can be,
however my attempt failed, he lounged out
loud fully aware of my real intentions.
“Perhaps you want me undressed, that’s why
you’re not too content with how I look right
now.”
My cheeks blu-shed at the thought of this
handsome man undressed, immediately I
wiped off the thought.
“You’re de full of yourself.” I gave him an eye
roll trying to hide my excessively pink face.
“We better get going.” I said closing the door
to my room.
A limo and its driver waited for us at the door
of the h0tel, we hopped in and headed to the
gala. We greeted so many people upon arrival
that I was alre-ady tired, everyone seems to
know Adam here, even in a foreign country this
man is powerful and respected.
Finally at our table my feet were able to rest, I
was very relieved after reaching my chair. The
table was a big round one, with a hvge floral
center piece in the middle, it was elegance at
its purest. Adan leant to me and spoke in my
ear for anyone to hear.
“Did I tell you alre-ady you look stunning
tonight? I’m lucky you’re mine.”
A small smile formed in myl-ips as my cheeks
bec@m£ an evident shade of red.
“Adam is that you?!!!” A feminine voice made
me look to my right side, where a beautiful
woman walked towards Adam with arms wi-de
open. She could easily pas-s as a model, her
hair was the darkest shade of black I’ve seen,
long and straight, almost reaching her w@!st.
Her b©dy was nothing but perfection, very
voluptuous and it was obvious her dress’ job
was to show just that. It showed her back as
only rhinestones crossed her back, the silk
fabric looked expensive with light blue and
white abstract flowers pattern.
Adam stood up form his chair and they
embr@ced in a ti-ght hvg. I felt a small tickling
s-en-sation in my gut, Adam broke the
unnecessary ti-ght hvg looked my way and said
gr-abbing my hand ma-king me stand up to
them.
“Vivienne, meet my wife Emma. Emma this is
Vivienne, a long time friend of mine.”
I extended to offer a polite hand shake while
saying.
“Nice meeting you, I’m Emma McRoberts.”
Adam’s eyebrows frowned, no doubt because I
used his last name, ever since we got married
I tried my best to not be called by it.
Vivienne’s rolled her eyes.
“I didn’t think you’ll bring her here.”
Adam opened his mouth to say something but
a voice coming from the stage interrupted him
before he could say a word.
The host explained that an auction will be
taking place, fine art and jewelry will be
auctioned in order to collect founds. After said
items were expo-sed for the audience to see
the host started explaining where this money
will be going.
My heart was t©uçhed when they explained
how many orphan children are currently living
in the streets without shelter, proper nutrition,
education and medical treatment. My heart
went to those children that can’t get a warm
meal in their stomach before going to be-d.
Gabriella, Adam’s customer wife c@m£ to the
stage she explained how she with a group of
other ladies decided to develop a nonprofit
organization to help these children in nee-d,
with these founds they will secure the
education and proper health care of a lot of
them and will be able to get new clothing and
personal hygiene items for them.
It was in fact a great cause and I wished they
could collect as much money is possible,
sometimes I think the money is wrongfully
distributed in the world. Some have lots of it
and some had none.
The introduction c@m£ to and end and the
servers started bringing around plates with
food. It was a five course meal and Vivienne
now seating at our table wouldn’t take her eyes
off Adam. I doubt she heard a word about the
auction, she c@m£ here for something else, to
hell with the orphan children. I rolled my eyes
with a huff at the simple thought of it.
Dinner was over and voices c@m£ from the
stage once again, the auction was about to
start. People started to bid to different items, I
was outraged by the amounts coming out of
their mouths. Adam spoke in my ear.
“Is there anything you like form the auction?”
“Forget about that, everything is too expensive,
I wish I could help but ….”
“What is it that you like and I’ll get it for you.”
“Adam are you out of your mind? They are
talking about millions.”
“I wouldn’t offer if I didn’t have the resources
Emma, that’s why we are here.”
“Fine, that n£¢klace will do it.” I pointed to a
shiny emerald and diamonds n£¢klace in the
displa-y.
Adam started bidding, the price went up and
up, I was so nervous.
“St©p Adam, we can get something else, that
n£¢klace bec@m£ too expensive.”
He ignored my plead and raised his hand in
signal to bid one more time. Then gave me a
gentle k!sson thel-ips and said.
“No, I never loose.”
I was relieved when the bidding st©pped
resulting of Adam wining like he said, he never
looses.
Music started to take over and couples started
to gather in the dance floor. I stood from my
chair and informed Adam that I’ll be going to
the bathroom.
Alone in the bathroom I started washing my
hands when the door opened and Vivienne
walked to me, I decided to ignore her and
reached for the paper towel to dry off my
hands.
“I have a question for you.” Of course she had
to say something. “Do you think your marriage
will last long?”
I had to blink twice in order to digest what she
just said.
“I don’t un-derstand the nature of your
question.”
“I’ll be short and simple, leave him before he
does. Adam loves me, he always have,
unfortunately our life’s and our careers took us
into different paths, he married Amy, when she
died I had just gotten married but now I got
divorced and the only thing standing between
us…” She said ‘us’ while ru-bbing her flat
stomach ” is you.”
“You are…..”
“Pregnant, yes with his baby.”
“That’s a lie, we’ve only been here for a few
days how did he-” she cut me off
“Don’t be naïve….. All this time since my
divorce c@m£ out I’ve been back and forth form
one city to the other just to spend some time
with him all this while he was married to you.
Either you leave him with some dignity or he
will do it himself sooner or later humiliating
you. Do whatever you want but consider
yourself warned.”
And with that she stormed out, for some
reason tears stated to from in my eyes
crystalizing my vision. My heart broke, Adam
was about to have a baby, what was I thinking
was going to happen? That Adam will fall in
love with me a become a different man? How
could I be so stupid to come up with
something so absurd.
I composed myself and walked out of the
bathroom. A feeling of noxiousness c@m£ to
me when I saw Adam dancing with Vivienne,
they laughed and danced all night and my
heart breaking a little more with each second. I
didn’t want this, I didn’t want to be in the
middle of them. Different scenarios pla-yed in
my head, I don’t want to be the person who
keeps a child away from his dad or maybe he
will leave me to finally be with her, I could
never recover if I hear it coming from his
mouth. The best to do is end this myself I’m
not doing anything here .
I nee-ded some fresh air so decided to walk in
the empty garden.
“Now we’re two that hate the loud music and
the smell of alcohol.” A voice c@m£ from my
left side and a all handsome man stood next
to me. His eyes dark blue and his hair dirty
blonde, he seemed like a nice person.
“It is asphyxiating inside isn’t it?”
“Very nice meeting you, I’m Paul Lewis.” He
extended his hand for me to shake it.
“Emma.”
“Just Emma?” He asked sarcastically, he was
trying to know who I really was. Then I
remembered my full name and Adam popped
up in my head, ugh I hate him.
“Just Emma.”
“You have something in your hair.” He moved
his hand toward me but it never reached my
head, a strong hand made him st©p gr-abbing
his from behind right the second he was about
to t©uçh me.
I look to the other person and there he was,
Adam anger coming form every single pore of
his.

EMMA’S POV

“Stay away from my wife!”
I could almost see fire coming out of Adm’s
eyes.
“What the hell is your problem?!!” I yelled at
him, not un-derstanding why he was acting this
way, this man has to be bipolar. How dare he
be this rude to a stranger that have been
nothing but polite to me.
He just gr@bb£d me by my right arm and
pu-ll-ed me away, I struggled to keep up with
his pace as his steps were long and fast. I
begged him to let me go but I ha-rd ly believe
he could hear my plead, his focus was on
getting out of this place as soon as possible.
Somewhere in our way to the exit Vivienne
appeared in front of us, Adam never re-leasing
his hold on my arm or his determination to get
out immediately.
“Here you are, I was looking for you
sweetheart.”
Adam wiped her off the way and continued
strolling towards the door. She yelled his
name multi-ple times having no success, I
looked her way and realized she was shooting
daggers my way with her eyes. I wanted to tell
her, ‘you want this monster of a man, take him,
I don’t want him’.
The way back to the h0tel was in total silence,
I noticed how Adam’s fists were closed
ma-king his knuckles look white. How
unpredictable this man can be, I rolled my
eyes and looked out the window to make time
pas-s fas-ter, the tension in the car could be cut
off with a knife.
At the elevator his gaze was in me, like if
trying to re-ad a book in a foreign language, I
decided to ignore it by looking at one of the
walls of the elevator. After what felt like forever
the ‘ding’ sound of the elevator door appeared,
I attem-pted to leave before him and lock
myself in my room, Adam’s face was the last
thing I wanted to see at the moment. Before I
could even step a foot in the hallway his
strong hold was in my arm again, and started
dragging me throu-ghout the long hallway.
We walked pas-sed my room door and I knew
he was taking me to his room, I’ll get my head
cut off my n£¢k before spending another
minute in his pres£nce.
“Let go of me!!!” I yelled but got no reaction
from him. “You’re an as-s and I hate you.”
He was deaf to my yelling and insults. In a
fraction of a second he managed to open the
door to his room, walked me in not letting his
hold loose, he then tossed me in his be-d and
finally he spoke.
“You’re mine.” He said.
“You’re an as-s-hole.” I said.
My blood was boiling. What does he think I
am, a peace of furniture?
“What were you doing with that guy, alone?”
“What did you expect me to do? Watch you
dance the night away with your…. Lover?”
“My lover? What lover?”
“I know everything Adam, you don’t have to
keep pretending. Let me go, divorce me so
you can finally be with her, I’m so tired of this,
I’m tired of pretending to be someone I’m not.”
“I have no idea what this is all about.”
“You’re disgusting, I know about the baby,
you’re going to deny that too?” I badly wanted
him to say the truth and end this circus of a
marriage, but he denied it to the point of
ridiculousness.
“What baby? Emma you’re not ma-king any
s-en-se.”
“What kind of man denies his own child? St©p
Adam, you don’t have to lie to me I’m nob©dy,
I don’t mean anything. You have no idea how
tired I am, is like burning alive.” I couldn’t hold
my tears, they ran down my face
uncontrollably. At that Adam’s eyes softened, I
was surprised.
He sat on the be-d next to me, his hand moved
to my cheek wiping a tear off and gently
c@r£ss!ngmy face while his eyes dug into
mine.
“Tell me what’s bothering you and I’ll make it
go away.”
“You won’t make this go away, you can’t.” I got
up from the be-d I had to leave this room, I
was drowning in my own misery. I was all over
the place, I didn’t know why it hurt me so
much the idea of Adam with someone else.
I ran to the door, but Adam st©pped me in
time and pushed my b©dy against it and made
me face him, his hands tra-pped me by leaning
against the door one on each side next to my
face. More pain c@m£ to me when our eyes
meet, so I decided to avoid his gaze, I thought
things will be different between us and the
realization that they never will was tearing my
insides ap@rt.
“Tell me what’s wrong.” Adam said in a soft
tone, but I wouldn’t let it get to me, not this
time.
How long could he keep this lie, I know
everything, pretending he doesn’t know what
I’m talking about won’t change the reality. I
decided to stay quiet and not look at him, I
kept my eyes in the floor. I was done going
around his lies.
“Emma, will you look at me?” He demanded
gr-abbing both my arms, he was frustrated and
so I was. I don’t know what got me but I
sl@pped him, not once but a couple times.
Adam gr@bb£d my hands and pined them
against the door in order to make me st©p. I
was gone mad, God knows I wouldn’t st©p on
my own. He moved his b©dy closer to me and
whispered in my ear.
“Tell me.” Two words was all I nee-ded to get
my knees weak, his proximity s£nt shivers up
and down my b©dy.
“You want me to tell you? Fine, I’ll tell you for
the sake on ending this. I know you and
Vivienne have a relationsh!p, and she’s
pregnant you have been waiting to be together
for the longest time. Adam I don’t want to be
in the middle of this, you don’t want me,
divorce me and and be happy with her. I don’t
care what you do just let me go.”
“If Vivienne is pregnant certainly is not by me.”
“How can you say that? Be a gentleman and
take responsibility.”
“Emma, I can’t get a woman a woman
pregnant if I haven’t even t©uçhed her. It’s been
a year since I last saw her.”
“That’s not what she said, she’s been visiting
you since she got divorced.”
“She told you that?” His eyebrows frowned, he
looked puzzled.
“Yes.”
“And you believe her.”
“Yes.”
“Emma don’t be naive, why would I bring you
here if my lover was here too? If what she said
is true it would only make s-en-se that I’ll take
the opportunity to be with her. You know I’ve
been with you all the time since we c@m£ to
this city, wouldn’t I want to be with her the
minute I stepped a foot in br@zil if we loved
each other so much? She’s clearly lying.”
He had a point, and it made total s-en-se.
Another man would struggle to prove his point
even if it was true, but not Adam, he knew
what to say and when, he’s extremely smart,it
doesn’t surprise me he’s a billionaire. He had
won and he knew it, and I knew he knew it by
the sm-irk on his face. I couldn’t let his victory
be complete, I haven’t forgotten the scene he
caused at the garden, I was so embarras-sed,
so I said in a careless tone.
“Not that I care what you do with your life, now
go of me.”
“Obviously you do, you’ve sl@pped me three
times. You’re the only one lying here.”
“I’m not lying.”
“Just say it.” He whispered in my ear, he was
teasing me, the nerve of this man.
“Twice.” I said pushing him away and walking
further in the room. His eyebrows frowned not
knowing what I meant.
“What?”
“I sl@pped you twice.”
He walked to me and I saw a predator in his
eyes, not a human but a lion about to devour
his tra-pped innocent deer, I took a step back
and could not take another one as his right
arm wra-pped around my w@!st violently
pushing me against him, my hands landed on
his ha-rd che-st, I could hear his heart pounding
inside.
“You sl@pped me three times, and you’ll be
punished for that.”
“What are you going to do?” I managed to say
in a whisper, a shiver ran down my spine I
didn’t know if I was afraid or excited for what
he just said.
“You’ll see when the time comes my sweet
Emma.”
“Why are you keeping me here? I’m not pretty,
I’m not bold I don’t even make a good wife.”
He gr@bb£d my hand and walked, st©ping in
front of a long mirror, he made me stand right
in front while he stood behind me. His arm
rounded my w@!st as he gently pressed my
back against his che-st. Adam p@rted my hair
to one side to have access the other side
where my ear and n£¢k begged for mercy. He
ran the other hand up and down my arm, only
two f!ngerstou-ching me. I was melting.
“Look at yourself Emma, you’re not pretty,
you’re beautiful and you don’t nee-d layers of
makeup, jewelry or fancy clothes to be. You
have a natural beauty and is so S-xy on you.
Your b©dy can make any man go crazy, too
bad it can only be mine.
My breathing was agitated, I was about to
explode.
“plea-se st©p.” I used my last bit of strength to
say this.
“Don’t you ever say you’re not pretty. Don’t you
ever compare yourself to other women,
because they can’t compare to you my sweet
Emma.”
“Enough.” I murmured.
“I want you to sleep here tonight, next to me.”

Emma’s POV

That night I sle-pt in Adam’s room, in his be-d,
his warmth next to me was something I can
get add!çted to. I don’t know how I went from
wanting to kill him to slee-ping next to him in
just one night, I ha-rd ly know myself these
days. He kept his promise of not tou-ching me
if I did’t want, he simply hvgged me, my back
against his che-st and all he did was whisper in
my ear.
“I want this every single night.”
I was in total silence, too nervous to come up
with a coherent s£ntence, he was only in his
bo-xers, he had no shame on str!ping off his
clothes in front of me, while I had to go to the
bathroom to change my go-wn for a white
bu-tton down shi-t Adam borrowed since all my
stuff was in the other room.
I was so nervous to be that close to his ba-re
skin but once is arms embr@ced me in a hvg I
forgot everything, I never felt safer in my entire
life, it just felt right, like that’s where I belong.
In the morning I woke up to an empty be-d,
looked around Adam’s was gone. I walked to
be balcony and there he was looking at the
ocean, my cheeks turned pink after realizing he
was still in his bo-xers, ex-posing his perfect
b©dy. I found myself wanting to t©uçh and
discover every single muscle of that b©dy,
immediately I wh!pped off that thought, what is
wrong with me ?!
He turned his gaze towards the door where I
stood, immediately his eyes pinned mine and
he gave me a sweet smile walking towards
me. Adam extended his hand for me to hold
into taking me to the balcony.
Adam’s hands framed my face.
“You look so h0t right now.”
I gave him a shy smile and looked to the floor,
he still held my face and made me look up
again. His mouth reached mine, he k!$$£d me
pas-sionately.

——————
Tonight was our last night in br@zil. I dressed
in a long white beach dress and let my hair on
its natural waves. For my makeup I just
applied mascara and went a little bold for my
li-ps, applying some h0t pinkl-ipstick.
We headed down to the restaurant for dinner.
Adam wore a suit as usual, apparently
someone was coming to meet him to sign
some do¢v-ments for one if his projects here.
This person met him at our table, Adam signed
about ten do¢v-ments and immediately the
person left wishing us a good night.
After dinner was finished we heard some noise
coming from the street that crossed the front
of the h0tel.
“What is that noise?” I asked with a little bit of
concern in my tone, in the other hand Adam
wasn’t surprised at all.
“Is just the carnival, today is the first day,
thank god we leave tomorrow.”
“A carnival?”
“Yes, is actually very famous around the world,
people come from everywhere just to see it,
but I wouldn’t waste my money on it, it gets
too crowded, and people get wasted, is a
pain.”
“I want to see it.”
“No Emma I’m not in the mood for getting
smashed by half Rio de Janeiro.”
“I’ll go alone then.”
Adam let go a huff rolled his eyes.

“Like hell you are.”
“I’m not your prisoner, I’m allowed to go
wherever I want.”
“Emma you’re free to go wherever you want, but
is very dangerous for you to go alone, aren’t
you listening to what I just said?”
“I’m going.”
I saw frustration in Adam’s eyes, but I don’t
care, I have to show him hat I’m not letting
him control me.
“Fine, I’ll go with you, twenty minutes is all you
have, then we return to the h0tel.”
Out in the street was very loud, I could hear
the sound of different musical instruments,
mostly drums of all sizes en shapes, people
danced along with the rhythm, not caring they
were in the middle of the street. Dancers with
hvge her costumes adorned with feathers
danced in ways I didn’t know the human b©dy
was capable of. I was fascinated, the scene
looked like out of a movie, is not everyday you
get to see is, at least for me.
In the other hand Adam looked as annoyed as
ever, avoiding to step on every dirt that c@m£
across his path, giving murderous glares at
every person that c@m£ a little closer to him.
“Too bad there’s no VIP area here.” I tea-sed
him.
“That’s not what bothers me right now, is the
crave I have for yourl-ips on mine.”
Aaanddd there it goes right to the trash the
grin of victory in my face. Adam had a special
talent to come up with the best replies, he
knew exactly what to say to make me nervous.
I decided to forget about him, it was my last
night here I wanted to have fun. I started to
move my b©dy with the rhythm of the exotic
music, it was ha-rd first but the my b©dy
learned and after a while it c@m£ out naturally,
I lifted the Sk-irt of my dress a little and placed
my hands at my w@!st. Adam followed behind
me, I decided to turn around still dancing and
see how badly his irritation was, to my surprise
I saw a sm-irk on his face, he looked into my
eyes and smiled I could see a hint of lvst in
his eyes.
”I’m charmed and enchanted by you. Do you
know that?”
I liked the effect I was having on him, I felt in
control for he fist time and it was so much
fun. I continued dancing hands in my w@!st
while walking backwards, his eyes pene-trated
mine, his never ending sm-irk s£nding shivers
all over my b©dy. I was dancing for him and
he knew it and enjoyed it very much.
He gr@bb£d a white flower from one of the
streets plants and tugged it behind my ear, I
smiled at his actions but never st©pped my
dancing or my glare on him. Because I was
walking backwards I ended up crashing into
someone, Adam hvgged me saying sorry to
the person. He then looked at me and said.
“I think it’s time to go back.”
“Yes.” I replied with a smile.
We walked back to our h0tel. I noticed Adam I
little bit quiet and in de-ep thought, something
was bothering him, I didn’t un-derstand, he
seemed pretty content moments ago. For a
minute I thought of asking what was wrong,
but decided to give him his time. If there was
something for me to know he’ll tell me
eventually.
The door to my room was a few steps away
when I broke the silence.
“I want to sleep in my room tonight.”
“OK.” Adam’s reply surprised and worried me. I
thought he would make every argument
possible to make me change my mind and if
at the end I still wanted to stay in my room he
would just f0rç£ to go to his.
“Adam, is there something you want to tell
me.”
He lifted his eyes from the floor, I’ve never
seen him like this, he looked defeated. After
giving me a long and desperate k!ssthat left
me even more puzzled he stared talking.
” I’m sorry.”
Woow that was shocking Adam McRoberts
saying ‘I’m sorry’.
“Why?” Was all I could think of as a reply.
“In this trip to br@zil I noticed a side of you
that didn’t know was there, you always look so
full of life, is like you have light coming out of
you on its own. Something tells me you’ve
been thought a lot, but I’m amazed to see how
positive and carrying you always are. I’ll never
forget the morning I walked into Demi’s room
and found you slee-ping there with the same
clothes you wore the night before, you didn’t
leave her side because she was afraid of
storms, I remember asking myself ‘what is
this woman made off? After all I’ve done to her
she still cares and protects my daughter, the
daughter of a man that humiliated her so
much.’ I wish I could have a heart as pure as
yours, maybe things would have been different
now.”
“Adam what are you talking about?”
“Tonight your bright smile and your white dress
made you look like an angel and I realized I
don’t deserve someone like you, I can’t let my
dark soul take over your pure one. For that
reason I ….. I decided I should……let you go.
You’re now free from this marriage, as soon as
we return I’ll put my lawyer to work on our
divorce, and don’t worry about the money I
paid to you when all this started, that money is
yours and you don’t have to return a dime to
me.” He framed my cheeks with this hands
looked into my eyes and said. “plea-se be safe
and don’t hesitate to reach me if you nee-d
anything, I’ll always look after you my sweet
Emma. Can I k!ssyou one last time?”
In my surprised stage I only nodded a ‘yes’ the
shock I was in was st©ping me from thinking
right. Adam k!$$£d me like never before, the
k!sswas gentle and desperate at the same
time, he was struggling I could tell he was.
Ourl-ips p@rted and our foreheads ru-bbe-d
against each other. He looked me in the eyes
one last time, and I saw a broken Adam so
fragile and strong at the same time.
He walked away and I two seconds he was out
of my sight as he entered his room as quic-k
as an arrow. I rested my back against my
closed door, looked around my room and felt
something missing, not necessarily in the
room but in me, I was not the same, a piece
of me was missing.
So many questions going in circles in my head,
why is Adam acting this way, just now that I
started to open up to him. This was for real, I
just lost the man I love. Wait what?! Did I just
say I…… No …… ‘Yes’ my subconscious said.
All my life people I love leave me one way or
the other, of course Adam could not be any
different, that was the reason I pushed him
away so much I knew this will happen.
I won’t let things go down so easy, who does
he thinks he is to do this without letting me
express my thoughts. Fine, he wants to end
this, so be it but first he will hear what I have
to say, if I did something wrong he better tells
me, then just then I’ll go away and he’ll never
see me again.
I stormed out of my room and ban-ged on his
door. Adam appeared before me, his blazer
and tie were gone and his shi-t was untucked,
I saw a clas-s of whiskey in his hand. He was
surprised to see me and all I wanted to do is
k!ssthe hell out of him.
