REVENGE GONE WRONG
EPISODE EIGHT
ADAM’S POV
I sle-pt next to Emma in the airplane and it was
the best sleep I had in years, something in her
makes me feel at home. I carried her to the
be-d bridal style very careful to not wake her
up, I will never st©p saying that she looks like
an angel when she’s asleep.
I lied to her when I said I was tired and that’s
why I sle-pt next to her, the truth is I wanted to
feel her closer to me, I nee-ded contact with
her skin and her scent. I’m becoming add!çted
to this woman and she doesn’t even know.
We arrived at sunny Rio de Janeiro, the day
was bright and beautiful. A 2017 yellow
convertible Porsche 911 waited for us at the
steps of the airplane, a crew member arranged
our luggage in the car while we took our seats
in the car and left. I took off the jacket of my
suit and tie, place them in the back of the car.
“I’ve never seen you driving.”
Emma told me with a smile on her face, I just
looked at her and smiled back, this week away
from home I want to forget about everything
and just enjoy that beautiful smile of hers.
“Adam, is so beautiful in here.”
Emma’s smile was wi-der each minute, it made
me feel complete and I laughed. The roof of
the car was down and I saw as I drove how
she opened up her arms standing up, bending
her head back and closing her eyes taking in
the exquisite warm weather.
Emma is so full of life and is amazing to
witness such thing. Her red hair flies free with
the wind while the sun rays makes it shine in
contrast with her white skin, she looks like a
goddess and I can’t st©p gazing her way while
I drive. At this point is impossible to hide the
smile plastered on my face, Emma makes me
happy in ways I thought will never be possible
again. I wish I had met her un-der different
circu-mtances.
I opened up the door to the h0tel suite and
Emma immediately broke the silence.
“Just one room?”
“Yes.”
“One be-d?”
“I think so…”
“Like hell I’m slee-ping in the same be-d as
you.”
“I am a gentleman Emma but if my pres£nce
disturbs you so much I’ll get myself another
room, here take this key I’m going downstairs
to get a room for myself.”
And with that I walked away.

EMMA’S POV
I felt bad after all, I saw hurt in the way Adam
spoke to me, but I wouldn’t take a chance, I
can’t have him to close to me every night for a
whole week. My luggage was alre-ady inside
the room which by way the was the most
amazing room I’ve ever been in.
I explored the suite walking around. Inside the
decoration was beautiful and elegant. The big
balcony had an amazing view of the beach, the
sun was bright and warm so I sat on the
balcony for about ten minutes just to enjoy he
beauty of this city. The phone ringing inside
made me get up and step inside once again.
“Hello”
“Hi it’s me.”
“Oh hi Adam, everything OK?”
“Yes, I just called to let you know that my
room is next door to yours, to the left , you
can knock on my door if you nee-d anything or
call my room number 1378. I think we should
get a nap now, I’ll pick you up at seven to go
downstairs and have dinner.”
“OK, thank you.”
“Good bye Emma.”
“Bye.”
I placed my suitcase on the be-d in order to
take my clothes out and hang them, I mean
they’re not that pretty and on t©p of that having
to wear them wrinkled will add no good. As
soon as I opened up the suitcase I noticed
that those were not my clothes. This can’t be I
got the wrong luggage, but how is that even
possible we c@m£ in a pri-vate plane.
I don’t know why something was telling me
Adam had a lot to do with this, the nerve of
this man. I stormed out of my room and
ban-ged on Adam’s door. He opened the door
with a surprised look on his face. Why did I
have to come in here? Wouldn’t be easier to
call him? I regret coming the minute Adam
opened up the door and stud in front of me
shi-tless, earth swallow me whole right now.
Adam had a perfect b©dy very toned, I should
see the muscles is his arms and a very S-xy
six pack. I could say that I got frozen, and he
knew because a sm-irk immediately formed on
his face.
“Emma, want to come inside.”
“No I don’t.” Was all I could get out.
“I don’t bite, promise.”
“Im not in the mood for your games Adam.”
“Then tell me what brings you here.”
“What did you do to my stuff.”
“What stuff?”
“My clothes.”
“Nothing, they’re in your room.”
“No, those aren’t my clothes.”
“As a matter of fact, yes they are. I just had
someone switch them over.””
“Why did you do this? You hate me so much
that you go out of your way just to ruin my day
like this?”
He gave a small smile and I could see
sweetness in his eyes, he placed a strand of
hair behind my ear and said looking into my
eyes.
“Emma I don’t hate you and I don’t want your
day to be ruined , I want to see you smiling
like you did today in the car in our way to the
h0tel.”
“You’re so confusing Adam.”
“I know.”
He then wra-pped one arm around my w@!st I
felt the skin of his ba-re strong che-st and I
wanted to t©uçh and explore his muscles but I
was to nervous to move an inch. My insides
trembled when he gave a small k!sson the
li-ps.
“Go and have some rest, see you at seven.”
ADAM’S POV
At seven o’clock sharp I was knocking Emma’s
door she opened up after a few seconds, took
me a while to say something because all I
wanted to do in that very moment was take in
how gorgeous she looked. She was wearing a
mustard satin off the shoulder summer dress,
it had bu-ttons in the center going t©p to
bo-ttomand a thin black belt around her w@!st.
Her hair was put up and two strands of hair
were intentionally left loose on both sides of
her face. She looked older but in a very good
way.
“Shall we?” I finally spoke
“Let’s go.”
Involuntary my hand reached hers and our
f!ngersintertwined and it felt so good.
We arrived at the restaurant of the h0tel and
the hostess took us to a table at a deck very
closed to the sea, the view was spectacular. I
ordered a bottle of wine for both of us while
we decide on the main course.
When we walked to our table few minutes ago
I noticed a guy from a nearby table looking at
Emma, I know that look very well and my
blood started to boil. Now the as-s-hole still
won’t st©p looking at her, isn’t it obvious that
she’s with someb©dy alre-ady? I’m trying my
best to hide how upset I am, I just don’t want
Emma to notice, first that there’s a guy in this
room interested in her, and second I don’t want
her to know how much that bothers me.
The server c@m£ with our bottle of wine and I
didn’t even said thank you after he poured
some wine into our glas-ses and said. “Enjoy”
and walked away.
“Is there something wrong?” Of course she
noticed my change of mood. I did a mental
eye roll.
“Why would there be something wrong?”
“Adam would it be to much to ask you to not
answer my question with another question?”
“I meant there is nothing wrong.”
“OK, whatever.” She gave me an annoyed eye
roll and looked towards the sea.
The server approached us again holding a
single napkin, he handed the napkin to Emma
and I could see that there was a phone number
written in it and a name Max. I wondered if the
smoke coming of of my ears was visible now.
“What is it?” I asked Emma with the little self
control I had left in me.
“I don’t know, it looks like a number, and then
someb©dy’s name at the bottom.” She was so
innocent that she didn’t catch what it was at
first. I looked at the guy and he had a stupid
sm-irk on his face, his eyes still on Emma
while he calmly drank his whiskey.
The thought of Emma talking and smiling with
this guy or worst k!ss!nghim, with those
add!çtingl-ips that can only be mine drove me
to the point of insanity. I snatched the napkin
from Emma’s hold and stormed away towards
the guy, this has to end and it has to be now. I
think I heard Emma’s voice calling my name
and questioning what was going on, but I only
had one thing in mind.
“You’re Max, right?”
“Yes”
“Good so, this napkin appeared in my table
while I was having dinner with my wife” I said
stamping the napkin on the table. “So I just
felt like I had to come and give you a little
advise, if you’re a guest of this h0tel I will
recommend to stay away from my wife
because next time you try something or go
near her I’ll break every single bone of that
face of yours, Am I clear?”
“Chill bro, I didn’t know she was married, I’m
sorry.”
“Yet you very well saw her with me the whole
time, just keep your distance, for your own
good.”
I returned to my table and adjusted my suit
before seating down, Emma’s stare was
questioning and confused.
“What was that?”
“I just had to take care of something.”
“Adam can you plea-se tell me what’s going on,
don’t treat me like I’m a five year old.”
“I just went and retuned the napping to its
owner, you’re married.”
She let go a sigh and said sarcastically.
“Like we are married for real and you are in
love with me.”
“Emma not because I’m not in love with you
means I’m OK with other man flir-ting with you
un-der my nose. Do you think I want to look
like a fool even if this marriage isn’t real?”
“Oh but I do have to be fine with you fv¢king
your as-sistant in your office desk every day
while you work.” She quoted the word work
with her gingers. “I’m the fool for getting
myself tra-pped in this marriage.”
“No that’s not—-” she interrupted.
“Save it Adam.” Emma rose up the palm of her
hand signaling me to st©p. “I don’t care to
listen to anything else you have to say.”
Emma was furious, if looks could kill I’ll be a
dead man. The rest of the dinner went
awkwardly quiet, I wanted to say something
but thought that at that point it will only make
things worse.
“I’m going back to my room.” She finally broke
the silence, I stud up to take her but she lifted
her hand signaling to st©p.
“No nee-d, I can go on my own.”
I looked as she walked away, what on earth is
wrong with this woman now.
EMMA’S POV
(20 minutes ago)
“Emma not because I’m not in love with you
means I’m OK with other man flir-ting with you
un-der my nose. Do you think I want to look
like a fool even if this marriage isn’t real?”
A cold s-en-sation stro-ke my che-st the moment
Adam said this, was this hurt? It can’t be, I
mean I was very aware that this was a
loveless marriage, jet it hurt so much to hear
him say he didn’t love me. I’m so mad at this
man and his stupid ego, I had to get away
from him, seen him hurt, hearing his voice hurt,
his sole pres£nce hurt so I opted for spending
what was left of tonight alone in my room.
As soon as dinner was finished I left, he stud
behind looking dumfounded at my reaction.
I entered my room and tears stared to fall out
as my back rested against the now closed
door, I was unconsolably crying and I didn’t
know why.
I stud in front of the bar of the suite and it had
all kinds of alcoholic beverages, I gr@bb£d the
bottle of wine, took off my shoes and walked
to the balcony. I sat on the floor and started
drinking wine directly form the bottle.
They always say ‘you always have choices’ not
in my case, looking back in my life I never had
choices, my mom leaving me, mi dad’s
accident, having to escape from my own house
because my own brother might one day kill
me, and last but not least marring a stranger
that felt nothing but hate towards me. How
miserable I feel right now, all these
circu-mtances brou-ght me to Adam a cold
hearted man that I just realized I started having
feeling for, and I know this will destroy me.
I’m such a fool for letting him get to me, I
should’ve known better, this is all my fault. I
can’t say I wish I could go back in time and
deny his offer of marring him because thanks
to that my dad was receiving the medical
treatment he nee-ded. I paid a very high price,
first it was only my marital status but now my
heart was in it, I gave my hart in an attempt to
help my dad and I felt like I sold my soul to
the devil. Never in a million years I’ll re-move
my dad form his treatment, that was not an
option, I’ll just continue with this even if I
loose my heart in the process.
Images of Adam k!ss!nghis as-sistant flashed
in my mind and it hurt, the fact that I know this
will happen my entire life hurt even more. Life
was never fair to me, no good things c@m£ my
way I’m wicked, happiness will never be meant
for me.
My makeup is ruined by my tears, the wine is
now gone. I walk inside and wipe the dripping
makeup off my face. Suddenly that h0tel room
felt small and suffocating, I nee-d to get out of
here I nee-d some fresh air.
I walked to the beach, it was pitch black but
the sound of the waves and the tickling
s-en-sation of the sand un-der my ba-re feet felt
so soothing. I couldn’t walk straight, the wine
effects started to show but I just decided to
take a walk anyways. The warm wind from the
beach ca-ressed my face and I closed my
eyes.
The hold of a hand around my arm took me
off my trance, I turned to the direction of the
hand and there he was, the last person I
wanted to see tonight.
“What are you doing here? Don’t you know how
to respect when people want to be alone?….
Ohh…. Maybe I have no right to be alone… Is
that so? Are you going to take that other right
away from me too?”
“Emma you’re drun!kand talking non s-en-se,
let’s go inside.”
“I’m not going anywhere with you.”
“What have I done now? plea-se tell me”
“Y…you don’t know $h!t, don’t you?”
“Emma plea-se listen.” He now framed my face
with his two hands and continued talking. “We
can talk if you want, but plea-se lest go inside.”
“I’m going because I want, not because you’re
telling me to.”
“Fine.”
I walked past him, I didn’t know how sas-sy
alcohol can make me. We walked into the
elevator and it was just us.
“He deserves my sas-s for ma-king me marry
him, for k!ss!ngme, for being so effortlessly
h0t.”
“Did you just said I’m h0t?”
Holly cowl I did say this out loud, I will never
in my life t©uçh alcohol again. I covered my
mouth with both hands. Adam showing me his
signature sm-irk just made things worse, like
the the guy nee-ded to feed his ego, I’m so
stupid.
The elevator door opened and I thanked
heavens, immediately walked out, Adam
following me. I walked into my room, Adam
still behind me, he closed to door behind him.”Answer my question did I hear right?”
“You’re an as-s-hole.”
“A h0t as-s-hole then.”
“Yes…….Yes, you being h0t make this fake
marriage ha-rd , and I hate you for that. When
you k!ssme I feel like I can loose myself and
that’s not good.” For the love of God what am I
saying? I will regret this tomorrow.
“Why so say is not good?”
“Because I’m disposable to you.”
“I will never see you in such way.”
“Adam.”
“Yes.”
“k!ssme.”
“I can’t k!ssyou now Emma.”
“Why? you said you won’t k!ssme unless I ask
for it and I am right now.”
“There’s nothing I’ll rather do now than k!ss
you, but I won’t in your state, I won’t take
advantage of you when drun!k, if I do you will
hate me more tomorrow”
“Coward.” I yelled. I’m not recognizing myself
now. But Adam’s looks as calmed as ever, not
bothered at all.
“Call me whatever you want, you’re going to
be-d now.”
“With you?”
“With me? You were the one who wanted me
out of this room in the first place.”
“That was sober Emma, but drun!kEmma is
different.”
He laughed.
“Well I have to admit I like drun!kEmma better
than sober Emma, however sober Emma might
kill me tomorrow if I do as drun!kEmma says
and I won’t take that chance. Here let me help
you.”
And with that he walked closer to me, my
drun!keyes fixed on him while he undid my
hair, he was so focused that didn’t notice me.
My hair fell over my shoulders.
“There, you look gorgeous with your hair
loose.”
I don’t know what got me but in a split second
I wra-pped my hands around his n£¢k and
k!$$£d him. Adam was in shock but soon gave
in, we k!$$£d pas-sionately and I didn’t care
that he won’t love me, I was too drun!kto
overthink so I just followed my instinct.
The k!sswas pas-sionate and demanding, it
was full of thirst, we were both thirsty and
desperate. Adam walked us against the wall
never breaking the k!ss, our breathing was
agitated. I felt how one of his hands ca-ressed
my cheek while the other sledded down my
leg, then up my ti-ght and continued until
reaching my but, he held my but ti-ghtly and a
m0@n escaped my mouth, I wra-pped that leg
around him.
He then turned me facing the wall, moved my
hair to the side while k!ss!ngthe other side of
my n£¢k. Adam then proceeded to undo my
Zi-pper and my silk dress fell right at my feet.
He turned me again to face him, his hands
framed my face and he looked me in the eyes,
his eyes replaced lvst for something else that I
couldn’t perceive.
“I can’t do this, you’re drun!kand I’m not taking
advantage, you deserve more than that my
sweet Emma.”
“But you don’t want—-” a small k!sson myl-ips
interrupted.
“This is very ha-rd from me to do but if we ever
make love I want you to be in your full s-en-ses,
now is best that you sleep.”
He gr@bb£d my hand walked me to the be-d,
opened up the cover for me to slide right in
and walked away not before tugging me in and
leaving a k!sson my forehead.
