Lady Vengeance and her Billionaire Lover

"Emma, I'd like to talk to you for a moment ...."

At that time, the 23-year-old woman was sitting in the gazebo reading a book and enjoying the breeze, to the point that her face was slightly covered by her hair because of the wind.

The woman, whose name is Emma Adwlyn, has hazel eyes and brown hair and looks up at her father. She nodded her head, inviting him to sit next to her.

"So, daddy already has plans to get married."

Hearing this, Emma, who was holding a book, immediately fell.

Of course, she was surprised because not even one year after her mother died, her father already intended to find a replacement.

"Forgive me, My Darling ... I'm just telling you this. But, I do need another wife. Especially since I'm not young anymore, I need someone who can be a story buddy and take care of me too." Her father immediately explained to Emma.

At first, Emma felt hurt that her father so easily opened his heart to other women, but when she heard that her father was lonely and needed a wife, Emma couldn't be selfish.

"Fine. Emma agrees. Let's get Emma together with that woman first, before I take the step to be more serious."

The smile on her father's face was wide and he immediately hugged Emma's body.

"Even though there will be a new family member, I will still prioritize you."

Emma was happy that her father was happy. And she waited to meet the woman of her father's choice.

A few hours later, when Emma was going to campus, she didn't talk as much as usual. Making one of her close friends feel confused by Emma's behavior today.

"Why, are you fighting with your boyfriend again?" she scolded.

"No, I didn't fight. It's not that. It's just that I have a lot on my mind. My dad says he's getting married."

"Seriously?"

"To whom?" she asked again.

"Earlier, he said her name is Jovanka Joice ... Yeah, that's her name!"

"Joice? Wait a minute, I'm kinda familiar with her last name ...." Her friend seemed to think for a moment. This was because she had recently heard that name on one of the foreign news channels.

"Gosh, Emma ... It seems like she's not a good woman. I remember she was involved in a case in a Middle Eastern country and she escaped from there!"

"It's just the same name ... There's no way my father would choose a woman without first researching her background." Emma couldn't believe what her friend was saying.

Then, her eyes accidentally looked to the North. Where her future fiancé was smiling at her.

"I'll take my leave." Emma winked at her friend and picked up the laptop lying on the table.

"Emma, but she is a woman who–"

However, Emma had already stepped away from her friend so she didn't hear what her friend said.

"You look beautiful," complimented Ravens–her fiancé-to-be. They had been dating for five years.

Emma punched Ravens lightly on the arm as she blushed.

"Oh yeah, want to go out with me tonight?" offered Ravens.

"I can't. My dad's girlfriend is coming to the house. And we're going to have dinner for a while ... Hopefully, she's what I expected." Emma let out a long breath. She couldn't imagine seeing her father with another woman.

"Believe me, your father's choice won't be wrong," Ravens said as if to calm Emma who was overthinking.

"Yeah, I hope so ...."

In the evening ...

The dinner as planned materialized. As it turned out, her father's future wife was very nice. To Emma's delight, the woman had a daughter who was the same age as her. Her daughter was in the same college as Emma, her name was Jennifer.

However, Emma didn't know her because they had different majors. Instead, Jennifer knew Emma. Because Emma was famous among the students there.

Born into a rich and beautiful family, the sole heiress of the Adwlyn Agency. She had a handsome boyfriend. Many women envied her because Emma lived like in a fairy tale. Even so, Emma was never big-headed to anyone.

For some reason, her father seemed to be in a hurry to decide to get married. To the point that her father said he would hold the wedding in one week.

Will Emma be able to see her father with another woman?

***

It's been two weeks since her father and stepmother's wedding took place. Emma's father who is a businessman can't stay at home for too long.

Today, her father went on an overseas business trip to South Korea. Her father would be there for a week.

"Dad, take care of your health, don't get tired." Emma hugged her father tightly.

"Of course, Honey. Now, your mom and Jennifer are here to keep you company."

Usually, when her father was out of town or abroad, Emma always felt lonely. But not anymore. Because her stepmother and Jennifer were here.

Her father said goodbye to the three of them. He quickly got into his car driven by his driver.

"Oh yeah, Emma ... Mmmh, your boyfriend, he knows me!" When she said that, Jennifer looked embarrassed. But also happy.

However, Emma looked confused. Why would she be so happy, just because Ravens knew her?

"Back then, he was in the same race as me. He motivated me a lot, even the reason I entered the race was because of him ... I mean, I admire his intelligence! Especially now that he's an actor at our father's agency!"

Our father? Honestly, Emma still felt uncomfortable when Jennifer said that her father was both of their fathers.

After all, why would Jennifer say that to her about the Ravens? Just ruining her mood!

"Yes, I did intentionally recommend Ravens to be an actor in my father's company. Because he also has talent," Emma replied with a faint smile.

Emma had to answer her nicely. Because now, they were family.

Since there were no classes scheduled today, Emma intended to rest all day in her room without anyone disturbing her.

Moreover, now her boyfriend is busy with his new job. Therefore, there was nothing for Emma to do today.

She don't know how many hours Emma slept in her room. Until the sound of a knock on the door kept her awake.

"Ms. Emma ... Ms. Emma ...."

One of the maids there knocked on the door of her room. Lazily, Emma opened the door. Still with sleepy-looking eyes.

"Forgive me, Ms ... I have to say this ...."

When Emma didn't focus on the maid's face, she immediately opened her eyes wide while linking her eyebrows at the maid's panicked expression.

"The plane Mr. Adwlyn was on ... Crashed ...."

Then, how was Mr. Adwlyn doing? Was he one of the victims of the plane crash?

***

Now, his father's handsome face has been covered by a coffin and will soon be buried.

The death of the CEO of the Adwlyn Agency shocked everyone in New York. The reason is, in the morning Mr. Adwlyn was interviewed and looked happy like a newlywed.

However, now everyone is crying because of his sudden and tragic death.

To make Emma even sadder, Ravens did not come to her father's funeral. Because he was out of town and even harder to reach, filming in the woods for three days straight.

Emma had nowhere to lean at the moment.

All the mourners one by one began to leave the Adwlyn residence. Emma who was daydreaming, stared at the large photo of her late parents in her father's office, making her heart ache even more.

"Why did you have the heart to leave Emma here alone?"

Suddenly, someone opened the door knob of the office. However, Emma didn't care at all who came. She just stared straight at the picture of her late parents.

"Hurry up and sign this!"

Emma's eyes narrowed at the person who was none other than her stepmother. Throwing a document onto the table.

"What is this?"

"Quick, sign this! Don't talk too much!" At that moment, Jovanka's angelic face now turned into a monster as she stared at Emma.

"Ah, damn it. You took too long!"

Jovanka stared at the open door as if giving a code. A few seconds later, two bodyguards who were part of Adwlyn's bodyguards appeared here, making Emma even more confused.

What was going on right now?

The two bodyguards held both of Emma's arms in a grip strong enough to make Emma wince in pain.

"What are you guys doing? I'm your boss ... Aaaa, damn it!"

Without hesitation, one of the bodyguards directed Emma's face towards the piece of paper already on the table with a rough treatment.

"Quick, sign it. Before we do something rude to you!" said Jovanka.

"Fuck. So, you've been plotting against my family all this time?" Emma was silent as she read the outline of the letter she had to sign.

It said that all the inheritance that should have belonged to Emma would be taken by her stepmother.

"Sign this or die?" threatened Jovanka who suddenly pointed a sharp knife at her.

"You demon woman–"

A slap landed hard on Emma's cheek. Out of nowhere, Jennifer was suddenly beside Emma and slapped her hard on the cheek.

Fresh blood ran down the corner of Emma's lips. Her cheek felt very painful. However, Emma could still stare at Jennifer and Jovanka in turn.

"Fucking bitch! You two are such bitches!" Not accepting being treated like that, Emma continued to swear at the two of them.

"Get me some hot water to dip her hands in!" Jovanka was completely insane. Her ambition to seize the Adwlyn family legacy went to the extent of using such dirty means.

"No, not yet, Mom!" Jennifer took a few steps forward with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

"Fine, if you still don't want to. I'll kill Ravens' career. I'll tell that director to dump the Ravens!"

Of course, the threat did not affect Emma at first. Instead, she laughed as if dismissing Jennifer's threat.

"That director doesn't even recognize bitches like you two! So, don't expect–"

Annoyed that Emma had challenged her, Jennifer, not to be outdone, quickly grabbed the cell phone that was in her pocket. And she called someone.

["Are the Ravens there?"]

["There is, Ms, what's up? How can I help you, Ms?"]

That's the director's voice! How did Jennifer get his cell phone number?

["Please, fire Ravens–"]

"I'll sign it!" Emma exclaimed in a loud voice.

"Too bad, I already told the director to fire Ravens."
