The Joy of Revenge

CHAPTER 61 Zemblanity I noticed the sun streaming through the curtains as I woke up. I wiped the drool off my mouth and heard someone snoring beside me. I slowly turned in my bed and smiled. Waking up with Cristos beside me in my bed felt surreal, I caressed his cheek and ran my fingers through his hair. At least I was able to spend a night with one of my three men since I moved here. I sighed blissfully. It was a wonderful night. I sat up and raised my arms above my head to stretch. After stretching out the kinks in my back, I opened the drawer of my nightstand for my phone. S hit! It’s already nine in the morning! I nudged Cristos awake. We had so much to do. “Chip, wake up! It’s already nine! We still have to decorate the stage before the contestants. arrive. The girls will be coming in after lunch to practice their walk before hair and make- up, I yelled, hoping my loud voice would wake him. Cristos suddenly opened his eyes and quickly sat up almost bumping my head with his. “What?!” He jumped out of bed and began putting his clothes on. “I’ll just take a shower at the pub. I’ll call Dom and Bo and see if they can help with the decorations.” “You can take a shower here with me…” I pushed the bedsheets aside and rolled over the bed, naked, showing him my bare buttocks while wiggling my feet in the air. “I don’t have time to take a shower and Virtue, darling,” he said while averting his eye from my nakedness, “remember, I’m g ay.” After tucking in his shirt, Cristos looked at himself in the full length mirror of my room. He ran his fingers in his hair, trying to tidy up some stray strands. When he was satisfied with his reflection, he flicked one hand in the air while placing his other hand on his hip…. obviously back in character. I sighed and decided to get out of bed, covering my nakedness with a pillow. “Fine, I’ll meet you at the pub,” I said, sounding disappointed. He gave me a dirty look. “I’ll have breakfast waiting for you when you get there,” he uttered, a stern tone in his voice. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

1/5 CHAPTER 61 Zemblanity He grabbed his keys from my dresser and waved goodbye. “Make sure to brush your teeth. You have really bad morning breath. He dashed out of my bedroom just in time, dodging the pillow I threw at him. “I want some buttered croissants, crispy bacon and a latte!” I yelled after him as he ran down. the stairs. “And make sure you punch in my security code before closing the door!” I slammed my bedroom door and stomped my way into the bathroom. It was time to wash the previous night away and get ready for the day. I decided to wear a puff sleeved white lace vintage dress and white low-heeled sandals. I styled my hair into a half ponytail and placed everything in the white Louis Vuitton Artycapucines bag, an expensive bag given to me by Xavier. It was my favorite bag and the first purse Xavier had ever given me. Xavier was a practical man and believed in spending money on useful things like cars, weapons, equipment, so it was a surprise when the bag. arrived on my doorstep last Chrstmas. “Whose beauty surpasses the delicate artwork of this bag… I love you you. – X”

That was written on the card when I found the parcel after the doorbell rang. No cheesy “roses are red” rhymes, just a simple sentence coming from the heart. After making sure I didn’t forget anything, I punched my security code on my alarm system and walked out of my house. As I drove out of the cul-de-sac, I noticed Noah’s truck wasn’t parked in front of his house. I guess it was an early Saturday morning for Noah. Anyway, I’ll be seeing him later tonight. In town, I saw Jack standing in front of his truck which was parked at the diner and h onked. He waved at me as I drove by. When I entered the pub, I found Xavier with his back toward me, dressed to impress while unpacking breakfast from the paper bags he had brought from his cafe.

I whistled as I walked towards him. “You look so handsome. Where’s Chip?” “Still taking a shower. We were waiting for him last night. We didn’t know he spent the night at your place,” Xavier said without bothering to look at me. He sounded jealous. I walked towards him and wrapped my arms around his waist from behind. I rubbed my face against the back of his neck, licking his earlobe. 2/5 CHAPTER 61 Zemblanity 1 felt him tremble against my body. I lowered my hands to the front of his pants and felt his erection. Mmmummm Virtue, play nicely,” he groaned as I rubbed his erection against my palms. “I am playing nicely, I remarked. Do you, by any chance, have a date?” He suddenly spun around and nodded his head, looking rather serious. “I do, in fact, and it isn’t you, young lady.” “Oh yeah?” I began to move my hips and rub against his groin. I could feel his erection against my dress. “Virtue, be a good girl and have some breakfast or I’ll rip that pretty dress of yours and f uck you on the bar top, he muttered. “Right now?” I dared. Virtue!” Cristos yelled, walking into the bar area from his office, his hair damp from his shower. I pushed away from Xavier, looking guilty. Cristos rolled his eyes while a sheepish Xavier tried to hide his erection. I raised my hands above my head in surrender and backed away. So, Xavier has a date. Knowing Xavier, it meant he was trying to get close to a mark. “Someone I know?” The door of the pub suddenly opened and Sebastian walked in with a small box in his hands. He closed the door and locked it, so no one else could enter. I waved hello at him as he placed the box he was carrying on the stage area.

“I have a date with Peter McDowell’s mother, Cynthia. She’s my date for tonight, Xavier answered, as he pulled out a chair for me to sit in. “Why?” After I was comfortable, he placed the latte I asked for in front of me. “Pete ordered your assault for a piece of property your father was unwilling to sell to his mother. The same property where Hillcrest is built on.” I just sat there staring at the cup of coffee Xavier gave me. I knew there was something about p Pete, I just didn’t know he and his mother was behind my assault. 3/5 CHAPTER AT Zemblanity Apparently, they wanted land which belonged to my father. I had always thought all the money my parents had was from the sale of the grocery store. I wasn’t aware my father had land near the lake. My eves narrowed as I stared at my coffee. They almost killed me for land. They could have just given my father an offer which would have made my parents very rich people… so they would never have to think about money over I mean, that’s what I would do to buy land or what normal businessmen would do. But these animals weren’t normal businessmen, I took a sip of my latte and welcomed the warm liquid down my throat. It was soothing as well as calming. As much as I wanted to go on a rampage, it wouldn’t help. “They’re part of the Angels of Darkness aren’t they?” Cristos asked while Sebastian and Xavier sat down with me with a cup of coffee in their hands. “Yes, they are,” Sebastian answered. “Peter McDowell is the underboss of the West North Central States, a position he got from his dead father, Rafael Cadena, who was the nephew of the former boss of the Angels of Darkness. Virtue, I think you’ve heard the story of the underboss we tracked down when we were just teenagers.”

Xavier took my hand in his while avoiding eye contact, his face appearing despondent. My heart was racing. I shook my head at the absurdity. It couldn’t be possible. Talk about zemblanity. But it wasn’t Xavier’s fault. He did what he had to because Rafael Cadena killed their men and stole their ship. He had no idea Cadena’s family would move to New Salem nor did he know that Pete was just as evil as his father. “I’m so sorry, Joy,” he said, reverting to my true name. “If I had only known, I wouldn’t have killed him. You mean the world to me. Please, Joy, forgive me… I never thought-” I raised my hand to quiet him and caressed his cheek. He raised his face to look at me and I noticed. tears in his eyes. “Bo, my father never thought that a piece of land would be the reason why four boys would. attack me,” I said, hoping the simple comparison would be enough for Xavier. I didn’t want Xavier to live with the guilt. “Y-You don’t blame me for what happened to you?” Xavier asked, peering into my eyes for CHAPTER 61 Zemblanity the truth. I shook my head and kissed him tenderly on the check. It wasn’t his fault and it wasn’t fair to pin the blame on him. “My rape didn’t need to happen. if they played fail. They could have made my father a very wealthy man, but they didn’t.. Instead, they hurt me to get to him. So, Bo, what is your plan with Cynthia?” I asked, smiling sinisterly. He grinned at me, his beautiful brown eyes full of mischief. “Something Pete isn’t expecting,” he answered, winking at me. “By the way, Chip, I need at table reserved for tonight. I want to make Cynthia McDowell’s last night on earth a memorable experience.” Chapter Comments Luna-Mom POST ha love the title of catfight and the fact it’s cougars of the town is just brilliant.
