The Revenge Of A Woman

Getting ready for the party

The next day Emily didn’t wake up till noon. Her entire body was aching and there was a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She tried to sit up but the pain increased, so she lied down again and rubbed her abdomen. After rubbing for some time the pain subsided a little. She was pondering why she was having this pain.  

Austin Gray was just like a ferocious beast. He was torturing her mercilessly. Definitely, she would feel pain. She couldn’t help but hate him when she thought of this. Her determination got stronger. She must find out the way to get out of there.

She went to the bathroom, filled the bathtub with warm water, and soaked herself into it. She relaxed her body and closed her eyes. She didn’t know how much time she spent there. There was a knock on the bathroom door. She opened her eyes and looked up at the door.

“Emily, are you there? How long will you take to come out?”

Emily was flabbergasted to hear his voice. ‘Why is he here at this time? Didn’t he go to the office?’ She muttered in her mind.

She again heard his voice “Are you coming out or not?” This time he raised his voice as if he was irritated.

“Coming, coming.”

She replied instantly. Then she came out of the bathtub, wiped her wet body, and walked out of the bathroom wrapping a towel. Once she came out she met with the sharp cold gaze of Austin Gray. She was frightened and grasped the towel tightly around her chest. She panicked while thinking that he might start doing the same thing again violently. She didn’t want to do that again as she was still feeling sore in her private parts. But to her surprise, Austin Gray didn’t move from his place and only staring at her blankly. His expression was unreadable.

She lowered her head, walked past him quietly to the closet. She changed her dress quickly and came out of the changing room. She saw Austin Gray was still standing at the same spot looking at the direction of the closet. She couldn’t help but ask “President Gray, is there anything to say?”

But he didn’t reply to her for a long time. She was frustrated. She lowered her head and strode out of the room. The moment she reached the door she heard him say “Tonight we are going to a party. Be ready for that.” He walked away from there after dropping those words.

Emily’s heart thumped loudly inside her chest. Uneasiness swept instantly in her mind. What would happen tonight? What if she couldn’t convince that man for help? What if he forced her to sleep with him? She quivered as a shiver ran down through her spine. The strength she gathered has vanished instantly. ‘What should I do? What should I do?’ She was biting her nails in nervousness. But there was no way out. She could see only darkness ahead. ‘Emily, what is there in your destiny?’ She asked herself. Once she was a respected designer in Oakland. Everyone used to admire her hard work but now she was sold out to a man by her husband. What an irony.

She walked down to the kitchen in a daze. She had no appetite but still, she cooked lunch. After finished cooking, she left the kitchen, went inside her room, and sat down on the bed looking outside through the glass window. Right now she had no plans in her mind. It was completely blank. At that moment she looked like a wooden doll carved by an artist very beautifully. Very soon the darkness engulfed the room and she was still sitting in the same position. She forgot to eat and she forgot to serve food for him. She even didn’t know whether he was home or not.  

Austin Gray frowned when he saw her sitting in the darkroom. He switched on the light and walked to her. She was not aware of his presence. He tapped on her shoulder and said “It’s time to go. Get ready.”

She regained her senses and looked up at him. He gave her a packet and said “Change this dress and do some makeover.”

But she didn’t take the packet. She was only staring at him as an i***t. He placed the packet on the bed and said “Come down quickly. I don’t have much time.” He turned around and left.

Emily looked down at the packet. ‘So that’s it.’ She must go now. It was too late to refuse. Now she could only gamble with her life. If she succeeded she would get freedom and if she failed then she was doomed to be tortured to death by Austin Gray.

She took a deep breath and took out the items inside the packet. There were some makeup accessories and a beautiful beige dress. There was another box inside the packet. It might be shoes.

She took out the dress and spread it. It was a spaghetti strap low cut long gown with a high slit till the upper thigh on the left side. She never wore such a revealing dress in her life. Her face turned red when she saw the dress. She wanted to throw it out, but how could she afford to offend Austin Gray? Furthermore, she must try to escape from there. This was her chance to get out of there. If she failed to get help from that man then she would try to run away from there. After thinking in this way she slipped into the dress and done a light make-up. She took out the box, opened it, and found out a pair of 6 inches high heels. She was stunned. Her eyes wide opened and mouth agape. ‘How can I walk with this?’

She sighed and decided not to wear this, so she walked out of the room holding the shoes. She saw Austin Gray sitting on the couch watching TV. She quickly walked to him and said “President Gray, I can’t wear such a high heel.”

Austin Gray turned around his head and looked up at her. He skipped a beat the moment his eyes landed on her. ‘Beautiful’ He murmured in his mind. Her big watery eyes with curled up long eyelashes, red plump lips, and slightly blushed cheeks were making her so attractive that he couldn’t avert his gaze from her. The dress was perfectly fitted to her showing her well-curved body. He was staring at her in great astonishment. He was amazed by her beauty. He was not aware that she was so beautiful until now. At that moment he wanted to hide her and lock her forever.

The moment he thought about it another contradictory thought appeared in his mind. His main goal was to please Earle Wilson. She was not worthy of his love. He couldn’t love her. He only loved Sheena Jones. He was suppressing his feelings towards her again and again and reminding himself to focus on his motive.

“Do you hear me? I can’t walk with this.”

He was snatched back to reality by her words. He staggered and asked “Sorry?”

She shrugged, showed the high heels, and said “Look at this. The heels are so high. I never wear anything like this before.” She was looking at him helplessly.

He said calmly “There is no other option. You must wear this.”

“But…”

“No but. We are getting late.” With this, he switched off the TV and stood up. He looked down at her and added “Wear it now.”

Emily had left no other choice, so she wore it obediently. It was difficult for her to stand still, how could she walk with this? She was pale. She tried to walk but she fell down. Before her body could hit the ground, a strong arm grabbed her and pulled her into an embrace. She looked at him in panic.

He frowned and looked at her coldly. “You are such a stupid. Don’t even know how to walk properly.” He sighed and continued speaking “Anyways, don’t leave my hand if you don’t want to fall.” He ordered her.

She gasped and held his arm tightly as if he was the last hope for her. She didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of the others. Austin Gray wrapped his hand around her waist and strode out of the villa. With the support of him, she walked easily to the car. It was Pagani. She only saw a few times in Oakland and never dreamed off to ride on this, but tonight she was going to ride this car. This was overwhelming. Once they got inside the car Austin Gray started the engine and the Pagani started running very fast.

On the way, He reminded her “Don’t even think to conspire against me. The person you are going to meet tonight is a high profile businessman. Don’t make any mistakes. If you please him you are free and if you try to act smart on me then you know what will be the consequences. Don’t forget that your parents are on my radar.”

She only nodded in response. She knew it very well that he was using her parents to threaten her, but she was determined to escape from his grip tonight. Whoever the person was her hope was on him. If she failed to convince him then she would run away from there. She might have a chance to call her father-in-law for help. Her heart was beating faster and she was tensed, but she acted as if she was calm.
