HIS SWEET REVENGE

Bryan’s POV

“What the hell are you doing here, Emily?” I exploded with rage, watching the amusement that crossed her face.

Instead of answering me, she shifts her gaze to Jason who is watching her intensely with curiosity. I am in a black t-shirt and joggers and my phone is on the other hand.

I wonder who let her in and what the hell she is doing here.

“Well”, she claps her hand and slouches to the nearest sofa. “I went to your office but was told that you are home, so I decided to pay you a visit.”

I growl. Why didn’t Stella inform me of Emily’s presence in the office?

If she had done that, I would have asked the guards not to let her in. I didn’t give it a thought after the other night. I never knew she was going to come to visit after what happened the other night.

“As you can see, I am not available to entertain guests”, I rasp out, with a voice full of authority.

A smile forms on the corner of her mouth and she stares at Jason who is unusually quiet.

“Is he your son?” She points at him.

I purse my lips together, without making any attempt to answer her. I don’t want the news of Jason’s existence to be out but now that Emily knows already, there is little I can do. The striking resemblance between us is enough.

“Aren’t you going to answer me, Bryan?”

“Emily, I don’t want to entertain any guests so I will really appreciate it if you go. We will talk some other time.”

“There is no other time, Bryan”, she snaps at me, standing up abruptly from the sofa and sauntering towards me. “You think I am just going to let go of what you did?”

“What did I do?” I drop Jason on the other sofa and fold my arms, facing her squarely.

She bites her lips in anger and claps her hands together with anger coursing through her. “You want to pretend like you don’t know what I am talking about? What the hell is wrong with you? How could you humiliate me that way?!”

“I didn’t humiliate you, Emily. You humiliated yourself”, I contradict her with a straight face.

“What?” She chuckles lightly and turn around, pacing back and forth.

“Emily, I would really appreciate it if we make this some other time. I have a lot to do as you can see”, I point to Jason.

There is no need to hide anything anymore. She knows about him already, I can no longer hide it but I am hoping she won’t tell anyone outside this home.

She wags her fingers continuously, with realization flashing across her face.

“Celine.” She mutters only and I furrow my brow, wondering what she means by Celine.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Is this Celine’s child?” She asks out of the blues but I stand still, not moving, not speaking nor giving her any positive signs for her to know if Jason is Celine’s or not.

“Yes, he must be. I saw her leaving this house. Is she his mother?” She asks again.

“That is none of your fu***** business, Emily”, I roar with stormy eyes. She is getting on my nerves.

I am trying not to think of what she said about Celine. I don’t want to think about where Celine is going and why she is going out of the house by this time.

Has she given up already and left without letting me know? Is she tired of my excesses? Is it because of what I did a few minutes ago?

As much as I want to be excited by the thought of Celine’s disappearance from this house, I can’t help but feel a sinking feeling. Probably, it is because I am not yet done with her or it is because I am worried about what Jason would do.

“Really?” Emily repeats with a shout.

“Really. I would like it if you excuse me, please”, I am trying to be as nice as possible.

“You sure know that I have what it takes to ruin you, right?” She threatens and a smile teases my lips.

I know it is going to get to this. She has been patiently waiting for the opportunity to threaten me with the secret between us but I am no longer scared of what would happen. Helena is dead and I won’t be hurt if she tells anyone who isn’t Helena.

“I should have known what you are capable of. I want you to know that I am aware of what you did at the club too, you purposely led me there so you can get a picture of us in a compromising position…”

“Well, I didn’t do that”, she smirks proudly and sway her hips sensually towards me.

“It wasn’t me, Bryan but I am glad it came out. I am going to reward whoever is behind it.”

“Don’t you dare pretend”, I yell at her, flinging her hands away as she touches the nape of my neck. “Get out of here now!”

“Don’t you dare shout at me, Bryan”, she retorts back angrily. “The angry one should be me, not you”, she pokes her index finger at my chest.

“After all I did for you, all you could do to reward me is to humiliate me and make me feel like a cheap slut just because I wanted to relieve you of your anger?” She rants.

“I didn’t ask you to. You did that because you had something to benefit from it. Stop making it look like you are doing me a favor when it is glaring to the eyes that you are a manipulative bitch.”

“How dare you?” She tries to hit me but I am quick to catch hold of her hand. We glare at each other for a while with her hand in mine. I tear my gaze away from her when I let go of her hand.

Jason sobs and I turn back to him.

“You have no idea what I am capable of, Bryan”, her voice makes me twirl around to face her again. I am surprised she isn’t attempting to leave my house the way I asked her to.

“I know you well enough to know that you aren’t who pretend to be and you are no better than…”

“Shut the fuck up!”, she interrupts me sharply.

“Just go already”, I scoop Jason up in my arms to dismiss her. I am done talking to her.

“Just wait and see what will happen when this gets to the media. I am going to watch you crumble”, she grits her teeth in threat, throws me a cold glare, and whirls around to take the exit.

My body goes cold as I watch her go.
