PULLING THE STRINGS FROM THE SHADOWS.
" BEN MALONEY’s POV".
“How did you do it Ben? I mean you got arrested in front of everyone? How did you escape?” Emily asked.
“Money and power are two very important things,” I boasted. “And I happened to have my fair share in both.”
“I will get you something to eat then, you must be starving.” Emily said and left the room.
I alone in a dark room, my face twisting into a sneer, I remembered Leila’s smile when she outsmarted me. With every passing second, my fury intensified.
“F U C K you Leila, F U C K you!” I screamed in frustration.
“You know what you need to do, Ben,” Emily purred as she walked into the room with a tray of foods in her hand. “Reveal your truth about her.”
My eyes locked on screen that flickered with intimate and N U D E pictures of Leila.”
“They do not deserve to be happy,” Emily continued. “She left you Ben, she chose Alexander over you. She needs to pay for that.”
I leaned forward, my eyes shining in the dim light as I gazed at the screen. “You are right,” I said, my voice thick with rage. “I will show them. I will show Leila and Alexander what they did wrong.”
Emily stepped closer, her fingertip grazing my jawline.
“Use the pictures, release her sex tape and watch her crumble before your very own eyes.”
My fingers flew over the keyboard, my anger and Emily’s words fueling my rage. “I will show the world what a lying, cheating selfish little W H O R E she is.” I snarled. “Let the whole world see her for who she really is.”
Emily nodded, a small smile on her face. “And then what? What will happen when the world has turned against her and her life is in ruins... what will you do then Ben? Will you be her knight in shiny armor and comfort her? Or will you let her suffer for what she has done to you?
“I will make her suffer, I will make her life worthless and every day she lives with be similar to one spent in hell,” I whispered, the hatred for Leila burning in my voice. “I will let her see what it feels like to have everything taken from her. To be abandoned and rejected. I will show her how it feels like to be betrayed in front of the whole world.”
Emily gently placed a hand on my shoulder. “That is a great plan. And then, Ben, you will finally have your revenge on that wretched W H O R E called Leila.”
“Let the wiled see the truth about that B I T C H,” I said, my voice low and menacing. “Let then watch as I ruin her, let them watch as I tear her world apart, piece by piece. Let them watch as she falls and crumbles to the ground.”
My hand tightened info a fist, my long and sharp nails digging into my soft palm. “And when she is nothing but a shadow of her former self, I will have my revenge.”
Emily’s smile widened. “You know that old saying, revenge is a dish best served cold?” she purred. “I think yours comes with a plate of humiliation by the side. A steamy hot delicious plate of revenge.”
I chuckled. “I would say mine is like w wildfire, but no, mine will be far more devastating than that. This is will be a reckoning. I will ruin Leila in such a way that everyone who hears this will be scared. I have so much planned for that S L U T named Leila. How dare she! How F U C K I N G dare she expose me in front of the whole world. She called me a murderer in front of the whole world. She made me look stupid. I put in so much effort before I finally got Alexander’s signatures on those divorce paper and that dumb W H O R E ruined my plans under twenty four hours.”
“That is true, she made you look so stupid. Your face was turned into memes and you became the hot topic. Kids, teens, youth, adults, and even the senior citizens make mockery of you. Every single soul threw insults at you.” Emily said.
I knew she was only fueling my rage, she wanted me to get even angrier and more furious and her plan was working.
I will release Leila’s sex tape and make sure it looked like she accidentally released it. I will sow seeds of doubts in Alexander’s mind, till he hates her and abandons her. And when she is all alone, broken and a shell of her former self, I will approach her and act like I am going to help her, only for me to use her body as I pleased and dump her body. I will break her soul, but first I had to get rid of her father.
Once I get rid of that old B A S T A R D I will force Leila into handing her properties to me and after that, I will wreck her and her wretched soul.
“Great plan Ben,” Emily purred. “I must say, you are the complete package, beauty with brains.”
I ignored her advances and reached for my phone, dialing a number I knew by heart.
“How are you?l I asked.
“Ben, my boy. It is so good to hear from you. What can I do for you?” The woman on the other end asked.
“I need a Favour from you darling. I need two of your best and well known journalists, I want them to help me carry out a little task.” I said, my home turning conspiratorial.
“Hm, looks like someone is about to get wrecked. But I got to ask, why would you be needing two of my best journalists? What are you up to Ben? And why are they in this?”
