Rebirth Of Vengeance. The Darkest Hour.
In a disheveled appearance, Noel trudged through the bustling city streets of new Orleans with an absent mind, his heart heavy with despair. The sun had barely begun its descent, the sky above bathed in hues of orange and pink, but for him, the darkness had already settled in, clouting the light that once shone in his life. The weight of betrayal bore down heavy on his shoulders like an unbearable burden making his every step feel sluggish and eminently threatening to ruin his already broken life and crush him completely.Why did the life of one man alone seem so sad? Well the answer to that question was a long and heartbreaking one.It had all started as every other ordinary day of the week; the promise of a fresh start upon his return home after a failed business deal. But fate, it seemed, had other plans for Noel. His footsteps quickened as he approached the front door of his once-beloved home, an uninformed dread seizing his every thought yet he was eager to see the beloved
Rebirth Of Vengeance. A Glimmer Of Hope.
Noel had braces himself for the impact, but instead of the feeling of night cold water cursing through his lungs and engulfing him whole, Noel felt a pull on his hand.It was sudden unexpected, but did the job of stopping his fall and suspending him mid air like a play doll.Through tear-stained eyes, he looked up at the girl clutching onto his hand for dear life, nearly half of her body hanging off the bridge as she tried to support his weight. Her determination and unwavering grip filled him with a strange sense of comfort maybe it was the fact that someone had tried stopping him when he had decided to end his totally useless life, or probably something else. Through his maze of thoughts and desperation, Noel couldn’t help but notice how fragile the girl appeared, struggling to bear the weight of his despair yet not wanting to let go.“Let go, please,” Noel uttered his first words towards the stranger, his voice filled with resignation. “I’m not worth saving.”The girl shook h
Rebirth Of Vengeance. A Tempting Proposition.
After a long hours drive Through the dimly lit city of New Orleans, Circe’s impressive sport car finally came to a stop in front of a small house on the outskirt of town, isolated from the all the buzz and noise that takes place during the ungodly hours. Noel stepped out of the car and surveyed his surrounding, now cautious of the fact that even thought the stranger in front of him had stopped him from jumping off a bridge and taking his life, she could still potentially be someone dangerous. With this thought now potent in his mind, Noel fell behind Circe in steps as they walked to her house. As they stepped into her house, Circe gestured towards a couch for him to make himself comfortable. “This is my place. It’s not much but at least it should be comfortable enough for you for the night.” She informed as she tossed her car keys on the table and stripped off her stuffy jacket. As she walked away, leaving Noel alone in the living room like a deer caught in head light, he took a
Rebirth Of Vengeance. The Plot For Revenge.
First thing in the morning, Noel had the black hood of his shirt up and head hung low as he stalked the streets of his familiar neighborhood. Throughout the night he had dealt with several nightmares, tossing and turning as images of his wife and brother played out in his dreams, faces laughing at a failure of a man he had become. It was around dawn when he finally broke from the taunting hands of his nightmares, dripping beads of sweat as he panted heavily. The unfamiliar room he was in quickly became familiar, so as the pain of betrayal that had been less than twenty four hours ago. Thinking back to the scene that played out in his house, Noel once again felt shattered, but deep down, the better piece of him whispered words of encouragement and hope.With forgiveness, he can always fix everything, the voice whispered, clouding his mind from the honest truth and before long, he was up from the bed he had laid, determined to mend back his life and forgive whatever atrocities Ce
Rebirth Of Vengeance. His Life Changing Decision.
Circe stared at Noel for a few seconds before the corner of her lips twitched and a smile appeared on her lips. She had though he was a gonner, that he had run off, but yet, here he was back at her doorsteps and even chosing to follow the path of revenge she had set out for him.What an interesting way to start her morning!"I see, you slept on my offer." She mused after a few seconds of silence had passed between the two and then stepped aside, pointing her hand towards the inside of her house.Noel understood her gesture and did not hesitate as he stepped in. His life had already been ruined, what else could go wrong in trusting a stranger. Stepping into her house, he sank down into the nearest chair and peeled off the hoodie from his head, exposing his face completely. Circe took her seat in the chair opposite Noel and studied him for a few seconds before she spoke."Did you go back to beg?" She asked. Noel did not respond immediately as he felt a wave of shame wash over him. She

Just as Celine had said, a month later, on the fifteenth, she had dressed up in her best and most luxurious attire that Mark had acquired for her and walked into the court room.She had expected to see Noel in the room when she walked in, however the male was nowhere to be seen.She approached the judge, haughty greeting him as she stood before him, waiting for her husband, soon to be ex husband, to arrive. Thirty minutes in and he was yet to arrive. His absence only deepened Celine's anger and frustration towards him.She mentally berated herself for ever believing that she could spend the rest of her life with someone as useless as him while shaking her head. How had she been so blind? She couldn't help but feel foolish for ever having faith that Noel would be the one who would inherit the family business and bring fame and luxury to her.If she had known from the very beginning that Mark was the one who would inherit it, then she would have married him instead of Noel and saved he
Rebirth Of Vengeance. The New CEO Of NX Global.
~Five Years Later~ On the influential side of New Orleans, precisely on the premises of the city’s most wealthy, affluent and accomplished business property, a meeting mainly for shareholders had been announced and was currently being held. The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense, as the prestigious and powerful shareholders of NX Global gathered to address a matter of utmost importance. A sudden change in ownership had rocked their company, leaving them bewildered and uncertain.

Rebirth Of Vengeance. The Beginning After The End.
As Circe asked this question, her voice carried a note of familiarity that hinted at a deeper connection between them. Leon’s expression remained unchanged, accepting the use of his true name without any personal attachment. After everything they had been through together for the last five years, only she had that privilege. “Those useless shareholders had quite a lot to say.” Noel- rather Leon, briefly informed her of how the meeting had gone before he fixed his gaze on the tinted windows of his car, watching as the building went by. Circe chuckled at his debriefing as she continued to flip through the pictures on her tablet. “What would you have expected.” She uttered and at last, passed the tablet to Leon. “The venue for the gathering has been booked,” She informed him as he collected the tablet and allowed his eyes roam across the details.From the venue, cuisine to be served and even down to the arrangements, Leon memories everything in a short Span of time before flipping to th

Chapter 7: Unforeseen TwistsCeline And Circe hastily rushed out of the women’s room after hearing what the staff had to say. Although Celine didn’t care much about what happened to her fellow actress, she didn’t want to remain in the bathroom, or rather unshaken and seem like a bad actress.To her, her reputation was everything and that was where she had made a mistake, because Circe and mostly Leon knew this, after all, they had studied her and her husband for years after the betrayal they caused. As the two women approached the location that the staff led them to, they witnessed a small cluster of crew members gathered together and whispering all around themselves, the skilled medic and on-set nurse already at work. Circe pressed her lips into a thin line and sighed upon realizing that the on-set accident involved one of the major actresses for the character she was playing. The on set medics and nurses appeared composed, professionally tending to Olivia the actress who had fall

Bathroom Confrontation.
Circe’s previous words were enough to spark professionalism into those that had once forgotten it at home. With no second to spare and not wanting to end up like the female actress who had just been escorted off the premises, everyone began to give it their best, even Celine and soon, it was time to begin the first shooting. The set buzzed with anticipation as the crew prepared for the next scene in the film. Celine, who portrayed the villainess and was meant to show up for the first time in the movie, stood in front of the camera, her face a mask of determination. Circe on the other hand, observed her closely with a smirk on her lips, ready to call for a retake whenever she pleased. In truth, this movie didn’t really matter much to Circe, her original goal for producing the movie was to torment Celine. When thinking back to all she and Leon had planned, the mapped out pictures and news articles pinned against the brown wooden board, Circe could only but anticipate all that was too

Trouble In Paradise.
Celine's heart raced as she stood face to face with the woman who claimed to be the film's producer, Circe. She couldn't believe her own eyes, struggling to process the audacity of the situation. How could this be possible? Why was Circe Claiming to be the producer?! There must be some kind of mishap happening here, because only that would be able to explain this absurd situation! Seeing Celine’s dumbfounded face, Circe smiled, her confidence growing while Celine’s own wavered ever so slightly, allowing the ruckus and tremors in her head surface.“Mrs. Barrette, nice running into you here, although that was inevitable seeing as I am the producer of this show.” Circe spoke up with smirk.Celine could only scoff the mask the confusion she felt. “Producer?! What is this? Some kind of prank.” She retorted and turned to every other person present on the set, Expecting to see some kind of reaction that proved her words were right.Unfortunately, everyone stared at her like she was speakin

Heavenly Encouragement.
After Haruhisa had stormed out of the office, a wave of satisfaction washed over Leon. He couldn't help but relish in the feeling of standing up to his a scumbag like Haruhisa and asserting his own power.Relaxing into his chair with a slight grin, Leon watched as Emma approached him, tablet once again in her hand and ready for work."Mr. Heroux, I have the new plan for the project ready," Emma said, her voice filled with determination.“Is that so?” Leon mused to himself as usual, Emma knew that and so she didn’t bother responding and quietly allowed him to accept the file from her. Taking a look at the blueprint as Emma bad suggest, Leon allowed his eyes to roam, okay-ing everything he has seen so far and liking them, that is until he spots something that makes, his eyes widen in surprise. The proposed site for the project the his company was currently working on was located just a stone's throw away from one of Mark's distribution shopping district.What was this?!A sense of

Uprooting Weeds.
Leon returned to his office after the intense meeting, feeling a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction with not only the way he had handled the meeting, but also the way he had put Mark in his place. Stepping into his office, he shut the door behind him, sinking into his plush leather chair. His loyal assistant, Emma, stood patiently by his side while looking through files and documents, knowing that they were still waiting for Haruhisa to arrive. The pathetic man had made up an excuse, saying that he needed to use the rest room as soon as the meeting had ended. Leon knew it was just a ruse of his to get out of the pickle he was now in and made sure to him give stern instructions to visit his office in no less than five minutes, this trapping the conniving man. In the meantime, while waiting, Leon settled into his chair, and he couldn’t help but think back to the look of embarrassment and anger that had crossed Mark’s face during the meeting. The way he had shut Mark down had

He Held A Conference Meeting.
The meeting has begun at exactly nine thirty in the morning. Leon had been one of the first few people who arrived in the conference room and Mark being part of the last few. Once all the major Shareholders and company CEO’s was present in the conference room, everyone stood up to greet Leon, only returning to their seat after her waved them to do so.After everyone had seated, Leon allowed his gaze wander the faces of the people present. The conference table was made from the finest wood with elegance and it was long, but his gaze quickly settled on Mark who was already staring daggers at him. Leon smiled at mark, who looked like he was about to explode from anger any second from now, before turning his attention towards the people seated at the table.“Since everyone is here, we shall now begin the meeting, but first, let me start off by saying, I’m glad that you all could make it under such short notice,” he began his voice projecting confidence and authority.

The Pieces Are Finally Falling Into Place.
Leon walked into his office the next morning with a subtle smile on his lips, his mind still replaying his encounter with Celine the previous night and relishing in every part of it. Each time he remembered how she looked surprised that her plan didn’t go according to how she wanted it, Leon could only but snicker. It was only the beginning, yet she was leaving herself open like a book without cover. The more he thought about it, the more entertaining and funny it got to him, but he couldn't allow himself to be consumed by it. He had a company to run, obligations to fulfill.As he settled into his chair, Leon picked up the first thing in his agenda, the company ledger that had been previously handled by Haruhisa, one of the highest shareholders in NX. He flipped the ledger open and began reading through, pen placed in between his fingers in case he needed to correct something personally before sending it back to the H.R department. Leon's eyes scanned each and every figure written d

The First Phase Of His Revenge.
Leon arrived at the address he had sent an hour after his conversation with Celine. He had taken his time to dress up, adorning a casual grey long sleeve, brown long coat on the outside and a simple pair of black jeans. As for his hair which was always permed backwards each time he had to look professional, he chose a different hairstyles, parting it at the side slightly and allowing the rest to fall by his face. After dressing up, he had gently shook Circe awake, informing her about his whereabouts to which she drowsily nodded her head in understanding and he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before allowing her slip back to bed and he stepping out to head over to the place he had sent as an address to Celine. Now, standing in front of the ordained place, Leon took a calming breath before stepping into the grand entrance of the fancy restaurant. The low hum of conversation and the familiar aroma of gourmet dishes filled the air. As he walked through the establishment, heads turn

The Chessboard Of Their Second Reunion.
~Four Years Ago.~In the dimly lit corridors of a grand mansion, a loud crashing sound reverberated through the air, stealing the silence that had enveloped the house. Circe, who had just returned home from a week’s long travel, furrowed her brow as she ascended the stairs, each step creaking beneath her measured weight. She knew exactly where the sound was coming from and why, for she had witnessed this scene play out before.This time however, she could only but shake her head in pity. Even after all this time, he still hadn’t grown heart enough to detach himself from the painful things concerning his wife.Truly saddening. Reaching the top of the stairs, Circe followed the disturbance to a closed door – Noel's room. The door stood slightly ajar, allowing a sliver of light to escape and cast shadows on the walls. With a sigh and a heavy heart, she gently pushed the door open, revealing a disheveled room. The table lay overturned, its contents scattered haphazardly across the carpe
