Chapter 40
Four years later. Things have changed in ways I never mild have imagined.
I wasn’t even the same Thrille anymore, at least not the Drielle I tend to be.
⠀ much that I almost didn’t recognize myself in the micro.
i weight, gained confidence, and my demeanor had changed so
That I was happy with who had become Thad an enviable career and a stunning transformation–what else could I posibly be dissatisfied with? olu by the way, the only thing I wasn’t satisfied with was felix and Melody.
Theard that Tels had expanded Reed Aerospace into commercial space tourism last year, and his compatry wat din pioneering sateline internet technology,ganning strong momentum in the huntry, but Loew just how many loepholes were hidden behind his company’s cem. That was exactly what I wanted. Telix, just wan for me to bring you down.
Returning to Reston after four years felt like a dream. As soon as I walked out of the airport, several microphones were showed in my farm
The familiar flashes of cameras, secunny protocols, and a sea of journalists–the scene of my return was everything I expected in this familiar city.
Thad worked my ass off to build an aerospace consulting firm, taking it to new heights of success. My goal was to be powerful enough to punish my tormentor, and thankfully, I had achieved the first half during this period.
With unrivaled power and control in my hands, nothing could stop me from casting the sweet fruit of vengeance nove.
Well, it was payback time, Felix Reed!
“As the CEO of the biggest aerospace consulting firm, are you planning to work with any of the latest rising companies, like Reed AerospaceTM” a reporter asked.
Hearing his company name again welled up a sickening wave of and from my belly, making me nauseous.
My lips stretched in a cold mark as imagined the result of my first blow and spoke professionally.
“Sorry, they don’t meet our standards”
A chorus of startled gasps in response was just a glimpse of the shock delivered by my reply.
No one was expecting that I would reject the possibility of working with Reed Aerospace. As I had gained success, Felis had also become one of the brightest stars in the aerospace industry, having great influence in the sector. So, it was a general perception that the reason for my visit was to negotiate a deal with him personally
Alas! They were truly mistaken
The twenty–three year old Driello Marlowe, whom he tormented for years, died the night what he abandoned her for his lover. The betrayal from the two most important people in her life crushed her soul.
The woman who returned to Boston was Drielle Becker, a mourning mother, whose dead heart was beating due to only one emotion. Fice of revenge!
Although media teams wanted to ask for more details about Reed Aerospace, my firm tone put an end to the question answer session. My security staff made way for me, and I was smoothly escorted to the plack Tesla sent by my company,
The door was closed by a guard, concluding my first plan
victorionly.
Removing my mask and sunglasses, I sighed in relet However, the excited voice of my Vice President, Echo Ahered into my ears. She was kind enough to receive me in person,
“Oh, my God! Look at you, Drielle! You look like a tech industry supermodel.
Recovering from emotional trauma wasat an easy task for me. It was a bigger reality that Feldin’t value substance over superficial appearances, ignoring precious emotions like love and loyalty.
So, I had transformed myself completely–ninety nine pounds of controlled perfection. This tranformation was going to be my weapon against the cold–hearted beasty in the city.
My prolonged dence bung nameless unease in the air, worrying Echa. So, I changed the topic with a query about the apple of my eyes.
Chapter 40
“Is Jane here yet?”
Even pronouncing my four–year–old daughter’s name washed a wave of happiness over me, filling my heart with sweetness,
As for Jane’s biological father, that man’s warm smile came to my mind… but it didn’t matter now,
My little girl and my career were the only reasons to wake up every morning and look forward to the future.
“Let’s go to my villa. I will see my daughter first.”
The car headed to a secluded, luxurious estate that I had built last year. I knew I’d be hack in this city one day and wanted my daughter to have the best. She didn’t deserve to be affected by the painful past of her mother.
But Echo suddenly looked troubled, pulling me back to reality with a shocking report.
“Jane’s private jet landed one hour ago, but she’s missing, Drielle. I…”
What?
