The Sweetest Revenge

CHAPTER1

"Damien baby, I am home!" I yelled with an excited grin plastered on my face.

Surprisingly, I got no response, the only sound I could hear was the creaking noise of the stairs. With a racing heart and an anxious mind, I continued to climb the stairs, increasing my pace. I hurriedly scurry towards the bedroom when I began to hear muffled noises.

I halted in front of the bedroom, our matrimonial bedroom. My jaw dropped, my eyes widened in shock and i felt my countenance fall. Lying on our matrimonial bed was no one other than Damien, and a lady, not just any random lady but the lady I had trusted all my life. The lady that I treated like my mother, my best friend and my sister.

It was Mrs Jenkins, my nanny. She was naked on the same bed with Damien, my husband. I watched Mrs Jenkins smile in pleasure as she moaned Damien's name slowly. "Damn it!" I heard her cuss under her breath.

I was unsure of how to feel. Tears rolled down my cheeks and I suddenly felt numb. My heart would not stop pounding.

"Damien." I managed to cry out. My voice was shaky but loud enough for Damien and Mrs Jenkins to hear.

Surprisingly for me, Damien had not tried to defend himself. I watched him signal Mrs Jenkins to keep quiet while he walked towards me. "Babe, when did you return?"

Of course, he thought I could not see. He was fooling me and he seemed happy about it. Everyone around me thought I was blind. During my childhood, there was an accident that happened. It took my eyesight and I had been blind while growing up until a few years ago, after having surgery, I regained my sight, although ever since then I have kept it a secret from everyone around me.

I guess it was because I enjoyed the concern everyone showed me, I was that pathetic.

"How could you?" I broke down into tears. Damien's face contorted into one of confusion while Mrs Jenkins was hurriedly putting on her clothes. How could they do this to me? Damien? My nanny? If this was a dream then I wanted to wake up so fast because the pain I was feeling in my chest was too much for me to bear.

I wanted to fall to the floor and cry my eyes out extensively.

"I do not understand what you are talking about babe. Are you okay? Did you get hurt or something? Did someone hurt you? Babe, I need you to talk to me." Damien pretended, his voice was so full of concern that it made anger course through my veins.

How was he so good at pretending to care? Or was I just the fool who thought so?

"Look at your eyes darling. You need to stop crying. Do you want me to call Mrs Jenkins?" He asked.

I dropped the stick in my hand and I faced Damien with tears in my eyes. I cleared my throat and broke the news to him. "I can see, I can see everything!"

I watched Damien's face become pale in shock, he opened his mouth and staggered backward at my confession. "Y-ou..y-ou..." He stuttered, blinking his eyes twice. Mrs Jenkins was shocked as well, she held onto the wall tight and found it difficult to process everything. I on the other hand was still struggling to come to terms with the fact that Damien had cheated on me with my nanny.

"Why did you do this to me?" I yelled as I felt anger course through my veins. I clenched my fist tight and allowed the tears to continually flow down my cheeks. Damien shook his head in disbelief. "No, no, that can not be possible. How can you see? You are blind! You hold a stick!" He growled angrily.

I bit my lower lip as I whimpered, my entire body shook causing the brown envelope in my hand to fall. As I stared at it, I felt regret wash over me. I felt stupid for willing all of my properties to Damien, i felt like a fool for putting Damien in control of everything. Now, I just wished I could back in time and take back everything that I did.

"What is that?" Damien pointed at the brown envelope lying on the floor. I struggled to reach for it but Damien was too fast, he snatched the brown envelope from me and ripped it open. My heart began to race extremely fast as I watched his eyes scan the content of the piece of paper in his hand.

I watched a smile slowly creep on Damien's face. It made my heart shatter in pieces. Now that he knew that he was in possession of all my properties. It meant that I was done for good! It was over for me!

"Oh Jenkins, you need to see this!" Damien squealed with so much excitement laced in his tone. I watched Mrs Jenkins rushed toward me, they both stared at the document, I watched Mrs Jenkins burst into laughter, she laughed at me and shook her head in disdain.

"WE ARE MILLIONAIRES! BILLIONAIRES!" Damien yelled with so much adrenaline.

I gulped a lump down my throat as Damien and Mrs Jenkins laughter rang out loud in my ears.

"Our plan finally worked. After so much efforts and years." Mrs Jenkins blurted out. What did she mean by plan?

"Wha-at, wh-at do y-ou me-an?" I stuttered. Damien placed the document in Mrs Jenkins hands, he slowly walked towards me with a mischievous smirk plastered on his face.

"You can see and so what? I and Mrs Jenkins used you, I never loved you Janet and Mrs Jenkins never cared for you. It was all a scheme to rob you of your money, you were so desperate for love back then. Now we have gotten what we want from you. You are useless to me Janet!"

I found it hard to believe. I had been fooled all these while?
