CHAPTER 80: TO EVEN THE SCORE
I could feel myself scorched with intense wrath over Penelope, who atrociously laid a hand on me. The slaps she did on my still burning cheek didn’t only mark me physically, but carved a deep scornful crater of rage solely intended for her inside my heart. No one has ever laid a hand on me, I was never hit by anyone in my entire life and only she had dared to strike me, which will forever remain inside my head for as long as I lived.
I was extremely furious at the outcome of my plans. Never did I imagine that Lewis would stick to what he told me, which I thought was simply his way of threatening me so I would stop blackmailing him. I never thought he would have the guts nor the balls to divulge the truth to Penelope, because we both knew what the end result would be if ever that bitch discovers our little secret.
I hated Lewis more for what he intentionally did. He ruined my plans and what’s worse, I had been ejected into this mansion so suddenly that I hadn’t been prepared for it and caused me to leave empty-handed. This wasn’t what I had been expecting. None of these does, which really adamantly infuriates me now.
I should have thought about this, so I could come prepared if ever it would occur. But since I didn’t and I had been complacent of Lewis’ fear of disclosing the truth, it caused me to lose everything, my job and so was the man of my dreams.
As I angrily packed my things, my mind was thinking of ways on how to get even with Penelope. What happened to me because of her cannot be put aside just like that. I lost a lot because of her and I couldn’t simply let everything pass without having my revenge on her.
I must avenge what she did to me. I don’t care how long it will take for me to acquire my coveted revenge, I will make it happen one way or the other and make sure that she regrets what she did to me. And if that time comes, Lewis will crawl at my feet begging me for mercy to spare his beloved girlfriend. By all means, I will not stop until justice is served on me.
I was about to walk past Lewis’ bedroom on my way towards the stairs, and since it was way past midnight, no noise could be heard elsewhere. I was near his door when I heard a loud scream coming from the inside, which made me halt and take a step closer, gently pressing my ear at the door.
My eyes got filled with painful tears as I heard a woman’s voice moaning loudly then followed by Lewis’ deep groan and curses. I didn’t have to see to know what was occurring inside Lewis’ bedroom. It was obvious that the two were having sex and they didn’t care about their surroundings, if they would be heard or what.
The anger I was feeling for the both of them intensified as I swiftly marched away and headed straight towards the stairs. I could feel my blood boiling in extreme fury and disgust, which literally made me insanely mad with indignation and outrage. I wish to hurt someone to somehow release the excruciating pain that was caking inside my system.
When I reached the second floor, a lightbulb lit inside my brain, making me pause for a while as I tried to visualize the sudden idea that popped inside my head. An evil grin appeared at the corners of my lips as I slowly headed towards the old man’s bedroom. Gently opening the door before locking it behind me.
As I stared at the sleeping man, thoughts of dubiousness filled my mind. Since there’s nothing to lose anymore, because I already lost the man I loved, another grave misconduct wouldn’t stain my already tainted hands. Before commencing what I swiftly formulated inside my head, I silently walked towards the vault, where I knew the combination, since I was the master of the house’s personal assistant after all.
After opening the safety vault, I grabbed bundles upon bundles of cash and hastily stacking it inside my luggage. I also took all the jewelry I saw and swiftly placed it on my handbag. Once done, I reclosed the vault before walking towards the door to secure my belongings then gazed back at Alexander, who was still sleeping soundly due to the medications he was taking.
My mind was so clogged with my aim for revenge that there was no room for it to think rationally. All I ever wanted and wished for as of the moment was to get even with Penelope. And I would do anything to hurt her back.
‘While both of you are having the time of your lives now upstairs, I would be making my remaining time here all worthwhile with your precious father, Penelope. Let’s see if this wouldn’t devastate you. This will not only hurt you, but I guarantee you that after tonight, your life will never be the same again. This will not just to even the score, Penelope Hunt, but will exceed a hundred fold every pain you caused me.’
