3 REVENGE 1

The footsteps continued until they came to a stop in front of her. She looked up and saw John with and a crooked smile plastered to his face. He continued to eye her hourglass figure before proceeding to the rack which held the whips. He then took out a flog whip as he resumed eyeing her body. She wore a sleeveless top paired with jeans. The top fit her so well that as she was drenched in sweat, it added to her sex appeal. She looked down to the stool under her feet to escape the man's lewd eyes.

"I was told to make you suffer But I would consider spearing you today If you....warm my bed."

Erica looked at him with disgust as he said this. During these four years of marriage John had never been given the chance to be intimate with her. The reason being every time they tried to be intimate with each other Erica would either twitch uncontrollably or reflexively push him. No matter what they tried Erica's body didn't seem to be willing to accept him. Looking back at it Erica noticed that subconsciously she knew John was no good but her ignorance put her in this situation. Nevertheless she was glad she was never intimate with him and that a man like John didn't father her son those seemed to be the wisest choices she made so far.

Erica wanted to spit and the unsightly thing (John) before her but instead kicked his crotch with both legs which were tied together. The man bent down in agonizing on pain, dropping his whip as Erica did not hold back with the kick. Erica knew better than to agitate the man in her situation but her emotions had gone on haywire at this point.

After a while the man stood up, eyes red from the pain and filled with rage with his hand balled into a tight fist. He picked up the whip and walked back to the whip placing the previous whip back and taking out the thorny whip. Started taking slow calculating step towards her with the whip firmly gripped in his hand. He finally stopped in front of her with rage filled eyes. He then took his whip intending to hit her.

...Kellar Group HQ....

Two women sat leisurely one sat on the CEO's chair the other made herself at home on the luxurious sofa. They chatted as they sipped expensive champagne.

"Aah after all these years of planning our dream finally came through."

"A life of luxury no worries, mommy is so smart."

"To think the plan nearly slipped up so many times but I outsmarted them and killed the old lady and my ex. Thankfully Alexandra gave birth to puppet daughter,... ha to think she could so easily be manipulated."

"I know right, pity to the Kellar family such an ignorant daughter."

"Exactly!"

"But mom?"

"Yes dear."

"Why did you sell her son rather tha~n....... killing him?"

"Heh you too haven't caught on that kid.......isn't as simple as you think."

"What do you mean mom."

"He gave me a message yesterday, threatening to expose our true intentions to his mother. If I tried to kill he would have definitely escaped getting a chance to involve the police, with this they would have done a thorough investigation and found out who really killed my ex and his mother."

"So that is why you decided to, expose our intentions to her earlier than planned."

"Yes! Even if it's just a hunch i can allow no room for mistakes."

"I see. Then what are we going to that with that puppet."

"She has a good figure for a fool. We'll just use her to secure business deals when needed." The woman crookedly smiled. " Anyway I purchased a new set of designer clothes worth 300 million Yuan from overseas. I made sure to purchase another set for you too but they'll arrive tomorrow."

"Aah thank you mommy. I can't wait."

The two continued their chat as they schemed what they would do next with their new toy(Erica).

The women chatted, oblivious to the camera facing them. The unknown person behind the camera had his lips arc into a scheming smile.

...........

Erica panted has she tried to withstand the pain from the bright red marks that were created by the whip. She looked at the man with her eyes red with pure hatred.

"What is it, scared?...My favorite water Lilly?"

Strange how peoples hearts change at first when he called her that she would jump for joy as if she became the happiest woman ever but now, does words felt like thorns coiling around her heart and piercing it mercilessly .

" Humph You still think that you a princess of the Kellar empire. Now let me give a reality check." He walked towards her and kept a stool down which he climbed on to reach her. He roughly grabbed her head and made her look at him. "Kellar group no longer exists only Roana group exists."

That name brought out a chilling smile from Erica for it was the name of the master mind that snitch, the home wrecker, woman who is the epitome of embarrassment to all women, mothers included. It was none other than the mother of her fake half sister her name was..... lihua. "Heh,... Roana what a tacky replacement name for a business empire such as Kellar." As soon these word left her mouth she felt a painful sting on her cheek and it was not from the whip mark but the slapped she just receive from her dear husban....sorry EX-husband.

John turned away and sat in-front of the only television in the room and turned it on, scrolling through the channels and finally stopping at a news program. Erica was zoned out but the words the news reporter caught her attention. {.......standing on an intersection were a gruesome accident has taken place. Sources say that the traffic lights malfunctioned causing a black van and a truck collided. The van to run under the the truck, killing everyone involved.} The reporter seemed to be listening to someone though the ear bud when she added {Viewers we seemed to receive information that the van in question was illegally transporting children who were sold to the mafia. Here is a list of their names. My name is Jessica Veron reporting for Light news.}

After the reporter finished John turn off the television and looked at Erica with a twisted smile.

"Well looks like the little prick, is now 'food for worms'."

"Erica did not utter a word she just stood the motionless she could feel the thorns finally ripping her heart into pieces as a lump formed in her throat."

John took his costumed made coat as he and was on his way seemingly to deliver the joyful news of her son's passing.

Droplets of what seemed like water fell on her feet but they weren't water but rather tears, tears of a grieving mother. A mother who has just lost her reason to live on. She had planned to escape and take her son away and live a peaceful and quiet life with her son but this incident brought life to a dangerous pause. As the tears drained from her eyes the light in them followed. Her heart felt like it had been ripped apart. Words could not describe the pain she felt, the regret and longing she felt, picturing Zian's innocent face. Her once bright and youthful eyes seemed to empty of all the light they once retained.

The only thing she could think of was revenge, revenge for....everything her empty eyes came to life again but they weren't the pure ones she always had but rather the vengeful eyes, she looked like a lion or bear out for blood to avenge the loss of her cub. But first she needed to find a way out of this prison.
