The Heiress Revenge

2

Lily POV:

A bright light shone on my face causing me to open my eyes, i took in sight of curtains, and ECG machine and the loud sound of constant beeping in my ears.

My whole body was burnt including my face, I had blisters and cuts and drips on almost every part of my body.

I tried to adjust my back when a sharp pain course through me causing me to scream to the point of losing all air.

The nurse heard my scream and rushed into my room, once she saw me, she shut the door again and ran out.

In a minute, a doctor rushed into the room, dark brown hair, brown eyes.

He looked stunned.

“You’re alive” he stared at me, “it’s a miracle” he continued.

I wouldn’t call this a miracle when I could barely recognize myself, I had lost my identity and my will to live.

“How long?” I questioned.

He was quick enough to understand,

“You have been out for three months” he replied.

At first I thought it was a Joke, because it felt like almost yesterday that I was betrayed by my fiance and my best friend, who burnt me to death but when I saw the news on the tv screen in front of me, I believed him.

The weather forecast had shown how much time I had lost being in a vegetative state.

Maybe it was a miracle that I survived.

“We had estimated you being back in a year, you have exceeded our expectations” the doctor announced, like I should be happy about that.

“I don’t die easily” I responded.

I stared at my damaged body, it hurt to see me this way. I wanted to cry but the tears weren’t coming out, perhaps my tear gland was damaged by the fire.

Something on the screen then caught my attention, It was Gaston and Rebecca, the news announced the celebration of their wedding which happened a day ago.

“Now that you are awake” I could hear the doctor say, “I would suggest you perform plastic surgery to change the way you look” he stated.

“They are married?” I said in a frenzy,

“Ah yes, the famous couple, they got married yesterday. It was the talk of the whole town” he answered.

There was a bright smile on Rebecca’s face, like all her dreams had come through, she had stolen my fiancé, my life and my wedding.

“About the surgery…” I turned to the doctor in a rage.

“Yes” he nodded, knowing that would mean more money in his pocket for him.

“I’ll do it” I said and he smiled.

After an hour of carefully selecting a new face, I was taken to the operation room, where they spent 17 hours on a full on-body surgery on me.

And while those hours were past, all I could think of was taking my revenge on them, to make them pay for what they had done to me. To make them wish they had never crossed me.

It took a while for me to heal fully, in that time span, my Cousin Rheagar had been keeping me up with all the information I needed about them. He was the only one I could trust, his words gave me encouragement and a reason to keep fighting.

A year had passed and I was completely healed, I’m standing in front of the mirror in my house, My cousin Rheagar sits on the bed flipping through the fashion magazines.

I looked different, beautiful.

I knew it would take some time to get used to my new face and body, I had made some enhancement to it, my breasts were perky and my ass round.

“How about Diana?” Rheagar suggested, we have been thinking of a name for myself for ten minutes.

“Diana” I echoed the name, it sounded nice in my ears, I had wanted Delilah, it was the last name I thought of but Diana might do better.

“I like it” I responded.

“Then Diana it is” he jumps slamming the magazine on the bed.

“Do you think he would notice?” A worried expression drew on my face,

Rheagar looked at me like I was mad, even I couldn’t recognize myself, how much more Gaston.

“Yes, ofcourse he would notice that perfect body.” He teased, then walked towards me.

Placing his palm on my shoulders, he spun me to face the mirror,

“Look at yourself girl, even I would want you”

His words made us laugh, because we knew he had never been interested in women.

“I want him to pay for all that he did to me, I want him to suffer every single minute, feeling the pain of what I went through” I cursed out.

With his thumb, he raised my head high, “He will pay for what he did to you, our plan is full proof. I have been keeping tabs on him and he has already cheated on his wife thrice” he let out.

“Their marriage is just a year and he cheated thrice” it didn’t shock me that Gaston would cheat on Rebecca, after all they did so that they could be together.

That could been my fate too, after our engagement, Gaston had told me he didn’t want me to work and would love for me to be a full housewife, to take care of his kids and his home.

I thought he meant the best for me so I was excited about it, I was so foolish then.

“This should be easy” I straightened my shoulders and he cheered me on.

It was finally my time.

***

I’m standing outside the Theo’s Corporation, now renamed as the Queen Corporation, a company I had inherited from my father before he died. It was now being managed by Gaston as the CEO and owner but not anymore.

I’m back now, and I will take all that is mine.
