Robert banged on the bathroom door, ready to burst in anger. "Open the door right now, you bastard! How dare you sleep with my wife behind my back?! Get out of here so I can look at you in the eye!"
Marissa was in tears after having the truth spilling like water out of her mouth. This was a nightmare she couldn't even imagine.
The door opened without a creek; after all, this was a presidential suite.
A man in a silky bathrobe stood before them. His hair was wet, already slicked back like last night at the rooftop party. "Can't a man enjoy a shower after a long, strenuous night?"
Robert saw red, and a punch was shot. It connected with Rhome's jaw with a solid 'bugh!' until the slick-back-haired man swayed on his feet.
"Take that you slick bastard!"
Instead of meeting Robert's cold fury head-on, Rhome held his throbbing jaw and merely laid his gaze around the Crowne family members. He set his eyes on Violet and Ryan, recognizing the most

The Revenger's System 130. Ready to Sail
Ryan heaved a sigh when it was time to move out. They landed at the international airport when the sun was about to set. They had to get to the harbor and get on a yacht from there. Not wanting to wait and mingle with the others, Ryan had purchased a yacht and paid someone to navigate it. Ryan put up an act, making sure his voice was higher than usual but still similar to how he sounded earlier. He found Marissa already waiting for him as she got out earlier like all those first-class passengers. “Do you have a good flight, Ma’am?” he greeted her with a smile. He wore an additional red cap to further hide his features, though Marissa wouldn’t notice. Besides, the sun was especially hot here, so he was just blending with the crowd. “Oh, yes, very much, thank you.” Marissa was visibly shaking from excitement, oblivious to the trap that lay ahead. “Where are we going from here?” “Our ride is waiting by the dock.” Ryan grabbed her suitcase
The Revenger's System 131. Best Laid Plan
The journey was beautiful.Though it didn't even take an hour until they arrived at the private island that Ryan bought from the dark web yesterday. Violet hoped there wouldn't be any animals or nomad people lurking around.Violet looked around, and there was no one.There was no one.Where the hell did Ryan go?A quick look into her phone, and she sighed.'Your mom wants to look around the islands. If you arrive first, hide your father or she'll refuse to get off the yatch.'Ugh, now she had to rack her brain.Once again, looking around, she spotted a newly made wooden cottage with two windows about twenty meters from the water. The green coconut trees, shrubs, and grass around the cottage created a beautiful view that contrasted nicely against the white sand.Turning to Jones, she asked, "What about the supplies?"The tan young man in a floral shirt gestured with his spreading hands, "It have all fruits you can
The Revenger's System 132. Basic Survival Skill
The island Ryan bought was beautiful.Located in the Caribbean Sea, the air was fresh and warm enough for him to take off his shirt. He could swim by the water – hopefully, he wouldn’t sink or get caught in a wave – or just lay around the white sandy beach. Like the other island he bought to parent-trap his in-laws, it also had a small wooden cottage with enough necessities.Staying here with Violet, it must felt like heaven.However, a strange and intrusive variable came out of the blue.Staring at the tall, blond man in the eye, Ryan grunted, “You really have no shame showing your face in front of me, do you? Feeling like a parasite now?”“I should be the one saying that.” Jared huffed and straightened his back, crossing his arms to make himself bigger. He was compensating for something else, obviously.“Well, you’re welcome to leave anytime soon,” Ryan said without a care, &ldquo
The Revenger's System 133. The Man with A Burn Scar on His Neck
Ryan grabbed a tablet from inside. “Want to watch what your parents are doing?” Violet blinked at him. “How many cameras do you have?” “Three.” “That’s not nearly enough.” “What, you want to watch your parents make love or something?” Violet groaned, “Don’t say anything like that, scum!” “Well…” “And no, that’s not what I mean.” Violet had to think of something ridiculous to take her mind off that horrendous image. “What if they kill each other?” “I hardly think so.” “Oh, you want to bet?” “Like I said, you suck in your bet against me.” “Turn it on, then. You’ll see what I mean.” Ryan turned on the tablet and saw what the CCTV he had installed showed them. “Fuck. You’re right.” Frankly, Marissa and Robert were fighting tooth and nail, like elementary kids with a crush. “See? I know my parents better than you.” “As you should.” Ryan mumbled, wincing a little
The Revenger's System 134. A Call for Help
The next day, Ryan had prepared various sets of breakfasts to enjoy with Violet. He purposefully made meals with nice smells and kept them in the small living room.Jared was there, grumbling silently as his stomach growled like a hungry monster. However, he eyed the delicious breakfast Ryan made with the piercing eyes of a hunter. In this case, he had to close his mouth to stop salivating over the smell and look of it.“The kitchen’s free if you want to make your noodles,” Ryan smirked at him, bringing along the orange juices and a bowl of salad. “Or warm your canned soup, perhaps? Good thing I stored some in here, right? Either way, you have to pick fruits from the woods or die of starvation.”Scowling heavily, Jared rose to his feet and slammed the door. He went out and disappeared to the woods behind the small cottage, probably searching for some fruits like he suggested.Finally, alone with Violet, he smiled to himself.<
The Revenger's System 135. Snake and Tree
“HELP!”It was Jared’s voice.“PLEASE HELP!”There was no mistaking.It really was Jared’s voice, and he must be in danger.Jared was in danger–Violet rose to her feet and rushed out of the cottage’s porch. She dashed further to the island, going into the woods where Jared must have searched for some fruits to eat. He was alone.“Wait,” Ryan shouted behind her, “Violet, wait!”She didn’t care.Jared was her brother, her role model and protector. He was always the one who saved her. So, now was her chance to do the same for him. She had to keep him from whatever danger was threatening his life. Whether it was wild animals or dangerous people, she’d save him for sure.“Violet!”Soon, Ryan was running beside her.“We have to assess the situation first.”Anger welled up inside her chest. &l
