Violet slumped on a bench, cold sweats on her forehead from earlier. It definitely messed with her makeup, but she’d trade that over her life.
It was a near thing, but she thought Ryan was truly going to kill her by riding the bicycle right into the Seine River.
“Here,” Ryan stood looming over her. Even if he wasn’t as tall as Jared – and way skinnier than her – he looked like a pole from her seated position. He offered a blueberry crepe while holding back the strawberry one for himself.
Violet stared flatly at the offered food, “I don’t want it.”
“Then, hold it for me.”
“I’m not your slave.”
“Huh,” Ryan tilted his head, “Either you take it or I’ll drop it from my hand in three, two, on–“
Violet quickly grabbed the offending blueberry crepe, glaring, “Happy now?”
He didn’t answer and went to

True to Ryan's word, he stopped his ranged attack on Jared after their date.Violet was glad when her older brother called to inform her that the police had suspended the investigation. They said they didn't have enough proof to bring the case to trial. He was released from custody but warned to keep himself and his company clear.However, getting his position back in the company wasn't easy. Jared kept cursing Ryan like never before. Violet always agreed with her older brother, considering him her hero and the person she admired. However, the way he was enraged at Ryan was a bit too much.The scum had told her that he was merely a person who reported the fire, not the one who started the fire that burned a mountain to ashes. As foul as it tasted on her tongue, Ryan was right. Jared wouldn't be stuck in this situation if he didn't do illegal things and went out of the way in the first place.Even so, she was still angry at Ryan for this.It felt as if he was toying with her and her en

The Revenger's System 60. Unveiled Tongue
The 9th Fashion Show looked like any other of its kind.Dimn ballroom with overhead lights casting the runway in a cold, bluish color. The midnight blue curtains part for each model. A Strobe of lights danced on either side, matching the background's slow beat.Pretty people in fancy clothes sat on the chairs along the runway's sides, perhaps celebrities and the riches. He might not be able to name even one of them, but Ryan could tell that none seemed friendly. He had proved it by saying hello to the woman sitting next to him with big busts and overly-done ginger hair. She didn't even bat an eye, preferring to look ahead with a perfect smile on her heavy makeup face.Sighing, Ryan did the same. The models on the runway were as tall as a lamp post, with long legs and curvaceous bodies. He didn't think three hours were enough to do their hair alone, let alone apply some of their bold makeup. Here, he wasn't talking about bright red and gold eyeliners but more lik
The Revenger's System 61. Conversation Behind the Curtains
Florent was hiding something.Through his conversation – or implicit interrogation – with Henry Bloeu, the designer and owner of Florent's agency, Ryan learned that his little brother-in-law was doing something despicable.With his Unveiled Tongue activated, Ryan could force the person he talked to into telling the truth. There was no lie, but only the truth remained.After learning that bit of information through the old designer, Ryan was confident in his move against Florent. He didn't fight with nothing up his sleeve; he just had to get the proof now.That said, Ryan was currently standing with his back leaning on the wall, the dressing room on his right, and the restroom on his left. Now, he must find some girl who might know or have a one-night stand with Florent. That was the lead he got from Henry.Just like what George Palessino said, luck seemed to be in him.A girl in a white dress walked from the hall and into the res
The Revenger's System 62. To Destroy His Life
Under a moonless sky, Ryan stood with his hands inside his slacks pockets. His head tilted back, trying to see if he’d see a star. Alas, he only saw orange-tinted lights and dark blue above him.The 9th Fashion Show had ended about two hours ago. With the interviews and the likes, it’d take more than a while for Violet to show up. Moreover, he guessed there’d be some designers and agencies that wanted Violet to model for them. He already got some calls and rejected them right away. Hopefully, Violet would see some sense and refuse their offers, too.Ryan rubbed the back of his neck, trying to banish the soreness there. Violet should be here soon.“What do you want now, scum?”He turned to find the person he was waiting for. Her face was no longer dolled up like earlier on the runway. She had changed her clothes, too, now wearing a simple blouse and a pair of jeans. She carried a big paper bag, he guessed it was the dark blue
The Revenger's System 63. The Playboy in Danger
The following day, Violet stormed her little brother’s apartment.Knock!Knock!Knock!“Open the door, Florent!”She waited for three seconds before she continued with another incessant knock and yelled, “Wake your lazy arse and open the fucking door or I’ll kick it open myself!”A rustling sound was heard from inside.Soon, the door opened, and a bed-haired, tattooed young man stood before her. He only wore pants hanging lowly by his hips. A sleepy expression on his face. “Vi, what are you doing here so early?”“It’s ten already. Wake the fuck up.”Florent sighed and rubbed his face to get the sleepiness away. “What happened that you have to bother me this early in the morning?”Instead of answering, Violet breezed past him and sat herself on the leather couch before the window. From there, she could see the view of Paris and its iconic
The Revenger's System 64. Confession's Out
A group of girls hunched around a wooden picnic table in the university’s park, eating their lunches before their afternoon class started.“Have you heard?”“I can’t believe that it’s true, though.”“I heard he’s a talented fine arts student here. So maybe they want to keep him here for the good records?”“So, they will let his exhibition go on next week despite that video?”“Seriously, how can they let it happened?”“Who let what happened?”The hushed conversation was cut short when a tall, blond young man in a stylish shirt and khakis walked by. His tattooed arm slung around an auburn-haired girl. Unlike any other students around him, he had no bag, merely holding several notebooks and a pen in his pocket.He was oblivious to their conversation. Being talked about and gossipped was nothing new to a model like him. Besides, he was t
The Revenger's System 65. You Can Blackmail Me No More
A tattooed blond model and talented art student glared at each of his classmates, but the university's dean approached him then. "Florent Crowne," the mightiest and prettiest woman in the room said, "Meet me in my office. Now." However, right then, his phone rang as a notification appeared on his screen. Henry's assistant. A new photoshoot, maybe? Florent took the call. 'Mr. Bloeu wants to see you. He said he'll fire you if you don't come to the office in thirty minutes. Ah, fuck. What do they want now? Glancing once at the pretty woman holding the dean position at this university, Florent decided it wasn't the time to deal with her. He brushed her off, stormed out of the class, and strode into the parking lot. He had to get to his agency office now. While he had to deal with what was posted on the university's web, his work was in the way. If Henry wasn't his boss, he'd disregard him, too. But now, his work was more important than the pretty dean's order. Besides, things didn't
