THE ILLEGITIMATE HEIRESS'S REVENGE

Chapter One

Isabella

"I love the way you handle me, making me feel like a woman."

I stopped midway when my hand was about to reach for the doorknob. I recognized that voice. Or was I mistaken?

I took a quick peak and covered my mouth in disbelief.

My fiance, in bed with another woman, stark naked. And it was none other than my own sister, Camilla.

I stood still, unable to think, my heart beat paced faster. Just when I thought I was going to have someone all to myself and feel loved, I eventually got robbed of it.

"I love how you make me feel seen, rough handling every part of my body with a gentle care." Her voice came amidst subtle moans and pleasure with a short giggle.

Irritation washed over me, I clutched my purse in anger as my fingers dug deep into my palm.

"I love you so much that I feel jealousy wash over me when i see that bastard boyfriend of yours touching you so freely." I could feel the vibrance in his voice, something he never uses on me.

Camilla scoffed wryly, "If you love me as you've claimed, you wouldn't be getting married to my sister in a few months."

My heart skipped a beat, I was trying so hard to keep my emotions in check, I didn't want them to know I was here, seeing and listening to their conversation.

Viktor was quiet, instead, Camilla's moans became louder.

After a while, he spoke, "I've never really loved her, your parents wanted me to marry her so they could finally get rid of their illegitimate daughter. I only agreed to get married to her so I could be by your side for life. Apparently, she is too blind to catch on."

It seemed like my world just crumbled before me. I was being used? By Viktor? So it was all a lie? After professing his love for me, saying how much I meant to him and how badly he wanted to be by my side, it was just some scheme to get closer to Camilla?

"I'm better than Lorenzo, aren't I?" Viktor's voice which was filled with pleasure spoke up again.

"Of course you are," She moaned for a short while then continued, "If it weren't for mother and father, I wouldn't even have given him a chance."

"Liar." I muttered under my breath and bit my lip. I remembered how badly she chased after him wanting him to be more than mere friends before he finally accepted to date her, and now she's lying while sleeping with my fiance just to satisfy him? How cunny of her!

I smiled dryly, even when I avoided Viktor, he pursued me relentlessly claiming how much he loved me and was not willing to let me go. Back then, I had no interest in him, but since that was what my father and step mother wanted, I agreed. Additionally, it was a great way to finally escape the torture back home. I thought his love and my love would sustain us forever. But I was wrong, he stabbed me in the back. I felt used and betrayed, he only used me to get closer to her.

His voice jolted me out of my thoughts again, "You know, whenever I'm with your sister, she's as stiff as a log of wood. But you're far better than she is; tender and warm." I imagined the huge smile that stretched to his ears on his face right now.

How dare he? Talking trash about me after everything.

I couldn't take it anymore, my hands wavered and I gritted my teeth. I couldn't stand here and watch them talk trash about me, I needed to get my revenge against those two for the pain they've just caused me.

I clutched my handbag and was about to walk away when I heard Camilla's voice, "Lorenzo doesn't even comes close to you, he's cold, distant and impotent. I wish I was the one getting married to you, not my step sister."

I had to leave for my sanity, I had to go home and report what I just saw to father. He has to listen to me.

Half an hour later,

I was standing in front of father who didn't even acknowledge my presence. He was gently sipping tea from his tea cup while flicking his hands through the papers in front of him.

I was quiet, fear absorbing every part of me. I was beginning to regret why I came here in the first place. To do what? Report to my nonchalant father about how I caught his precious daughter and my fiance together in bed?

"If you're done losing yourself in thoughts, you'll either speak up or leave my presence." He said, his eyes never leaving the papers. His cold voice made my throat dry up, I clutched the hem of my floral dress, staring deeply into the ground.

I needed to speak up anyway, after all, I was his daughter too.

"I went to Viktor's house and i-" He didn't even let me finish when he cut me off sharply.

"Get straight to the point." His tone still cold, all while still not taking a glance at me.

I breathed in gently, trying to slow my heartbeat, "I want to call off the engagement." My words came slowly but it sounded as serious as ever.

He didn't respond, instead, he continued flicking through the papers and took a quick sip from the tea cup.

"I want to call off my engagement with Viktor. I'm done." I repeated, this time, sounding even more serious and erasing emotions from my eyes.

He threw the tea cup to the wall in anger, making it shatter into pieces. My eyes trembled in fear but I was trying so hard to hide it.

"Repeat what you just said." He glared, this time, his attention was fully on me. My hands grew cold.

"Father, I've been thinking about this for the past few days and I want to call off the engagement with Viktor."

He smirked, now he was face to face with me, his eyes were deadly and hatred oozed from it.

“Lately, you’ve gotten awfully full of yourself, you just act rashly knowing fully well that you don’t have those rights.” His voice was stiff.

I wavered, i gave him benefit of the doubt, maybe he would act like a father who would ask his daughter why she suddenly wants to divorce her fiance, but once again, i was wrong.

A wicked smile replaced the smirk, “Don’t you think Viktor is doing you a favor by getting married to you?”

I blinked my eyelashes in confusion, I’ve heard him say all sorts of awful comments about me but this was the first, “What?”

He squinted his eyes in amusement, “Who would want to get married to an illegitimate daughter with no college degree? The only thing you can do perfectly is shamelessly draw worthless paintings and have babies for him.”

My heart tugged, clenched and broke into a thousand pieces. I felt a huge lump in my throat and my face became pale. I was struggling to maintain my stance.

I never intended to show off my facial expression but i guess that can't work now, i tugged at my dress, profusely blinking every second.

He breathed in and out, “All I’m saying is, you can’t lose a guy like Viktor. He’s a perfect husband material; rich, handsome and doesn’t cheat.” He continued when he noticed my facial expression didn’t change, “He doesn’t cheat nor hits you, so stop being a selective and get married to him.”

Before i could say anything, he walked out of my sight with his hands in his left pocket.

My pale expression turned cold. Since being the good girl has no reward, i wanted revenge. Revenge on all of them for everything they’ve said to me and what they made me pass through.

Seems like i will be paying Lorenzo a visit after all.
