The Queen’s Revenge – PREVIEW
The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the parking garage as Michael, his tailored suit immaculate despite the day’s exertions, emerged from the glass doors of his law firm. His secretary, Suzanna, trailed behind him, her heels clicking against the concrete floor. She carried a large cardboard box filled with legal documents, her arms straining slightly under its weight. Michael, holding a matching box, shot her a smirk. “Almost there,” he said, his voice low and laced with a familiarity that bordered on inappropriate. “Just a few more steps, and we’ll be done for the day.”
Suzanna rolled her eyes, a playful smile tugging at her lips. “You say that every time, Michael. But I’m starting to think you just like making me carry these heavy boxes.”
“Guilty as charged,” he replied, his smirk widening. “But hey, it’s not like I’m asking you to do anything I wouldn’t do myself.” He gestured to the box in his hands, though it was clear he was more focused on her than the task at hand.
They reached Michael’s Lamborghini, a sleek black beast parked in its reserved spot. Suzanna set her box down on the trunk, her breath catching slightly as she straightened. Michael leaned in close, his cologne—expensive and musky—filling her senses. “Thanks for the help,” he murmured, his hand brushing against hers as he placed his box beside hers.
Before she could respond, he closed the distance between them, his lips pressing firmly against hers. Suzanna’s eyes fluttered closed as she melted into the kiss, her hands instinctively rising to grip the lapels of his suit jacket. Michael’s arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer, his touch both possessive and tender. The garage’s fluorescent lights flickered overhead, casting an unnatural glow on their passionate embrace.
As the kiss deepened, Michael’s hands wandered lower, his fingers tracing the curve of her hips before settling on her ass. He gave it a firm squeeze, his grip tight enough to leave no doubt about his intentions. Suzanna let out a soft gasp, her body arching slightly into his touch. “You’re incredible,” he whispered against her lips, his breath hot and heavy.
“Mmm, you’re not so bad yourself,” she teased, her voice breathy. “But we should probably—”
“Shh,” he interrupted, pressing a finger to her lips. “Don’t ruin the moment. I’ll see you tonight, at your place. I’ll tell Diane I have another client meeting. She’ll never know the difference.”
Suzanna’s smile faltered for a moment, a fleeting shadow crossing her features. But it was gone as quickly as it appeared, replaced by a sultry grin. “Sounds like a plan,” she said, stepping back and smoothing her skirt. “I’ll be waiting.”
Michael watched her walk away, his gaze lingering on the sway of her hips. He felt a surge of satisfaction, the thrill of the forbidden fueling his ego. But as he turned back to his car, a voice cut through the air like a knife.
“Michael, long time no see.”
Michael froze, his hand still on the car door. Slowly, he turned to face the speaker. Standing a few feet away was Xavier, his broad shoulders filling the space between the parked cars. His shaved head glinted under the garage lights, and his sharp eyes bore into Michael with an intensity that made the lawyer’s stomach twist.
“Xavier,” Michael said, forcing a casual tone. “What a surprise. Didn’t expect to see you here.”
Xavier’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Yeah, well, life’s full of surprises, isn’t it? Especially when you’re the one handing them out.” He took a step closer, his voice dropping to a low growl. “You remember me, right? Or do I need to refresh your memory?”
Michael’s smirk faltered, replaced by a thin-lipped smile. “Of course I remember you. How could I forget? You were one of my… more memorable clients.”
Xavier’s eyes narrowed, his fists clenching at his sides. “Memorable, huh? That’s one way to put it. I’d say it was more like disposable. You threw me under the bus, Michael. You let me take the fall for something I didn’t do. And now, here you are, living the high life while I rotted away in prison.”
Michael’s jaw tightened, his charm slipping as irritation crept into his voice. “Look, Xavier, I was just a public defender back then. I did the best I could with what I had. You pled guilty. That was your choice.”
“My choice?” Xavier laughed, the sound bitter and hollow. “You pressured me into it. You said it was the only way to avoid a worse sentence. But you were wrong. Dead wrong. And now, I’m out, and I’m not letting this go.”
Michael’s eyes flicked to the Lamborghini, then back to Xavier. “What do you want from me? Money? Because if you think I’m going to pay you restitution, you’re out of your mind. I’ve got a reputation to uphold.”
Xavier’s smile turned cold. “Reputation, huh? Let’s talk about that.” He pulled his phone from his pocket, swiping through the screen before holding it up. Michael’s blood ran cold as he saw the photo—him and Suzanna, lips locked, his hand on her ass. “Interesting,” Xavier said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Did Diane know about this? Or is she still in the dark?”
Michael’s face flushed with anger, his hands balling into fists. “How did you—?”
“Doesn’t matter,” Xavier cut him off. “What matters is that I’ve got this. And I’ve got a lot more where that came from. So, you can either make this right, or I can make your life a living hell.”
Michael’s chest rose and fell rapidly, his mind racing. He knew Xavier wasn’t bluffing. The photo was just the beginning. “What do you want?” he growled, his voice barely controlled.
Xavier’s smile widened, his eyes glinting with malicious intent. “I want what’s mine. And I want you to suffer for what you did. But don’t worry, Michael. I’m not going to ruin your life. Not yet. I’m going to give you a chance to make it up to me. To her.”
Michael’s brow furrowed. “Her? Who are you talking about?”
Xavier’s gaze hardened. “Diane. Your wife. She deserves to know the truth. And I’m going to make sure she does.”
Michael’s heart pounded in his chest, panic setting in. “You stay away from her,” he snarled, taking a step forward. “You don’t know what you’re messing with.”
Xavier held up his hands in a mock surrender. “Whoa, easy there, counselor. I’m not looking for a fight. Not yet, anyway. But I will say this—you’ve got until tomorrow to make this right. Or I’ll pay Diane a visit. And trust me, she’ll be much more receptive to the truth than you think.”
With that, Xavier turned and walked away, his confident stride leaving Michael trembling with rage and fear. Michael watched him go, his mind racing with possibilities. He knew he had to act fast. But as he slid into his car and peeled out of the garage, he couldn’t shake the feeling that Xavier had already won.
Xavier Snitches on his Lawyer for Revenge
The sun had set by the time Xavier arrived at Michael’s upscale neighborhood, the streetlights casting a warm glow on the manicured lawns and expensive cars parked in the driveways. He stopped in front of the lawyer’s house, a sprawling two-story mansion with a neatly trimmed hedge and a gleaming black mailbox bearing the name “Michael and Diane Carter.”
Xavier took a deep breath, his heart pounding with anticipation. He knew this was a risky move, but it was necessary. Michael had wronged him, and now it was time to make him pay. He rang the doorbell, his hand steady despite the adrenaline coursing through his veins.
Moments later, the door swung open, revealing Diane in a silk robe, her blonde hair cascading over her shoulders. Her hazel eyes widened in surprise as she took in the stranger on her doorstep. “Can I help you?” she asked, her voice polite but guarded.
Xavier offered a charming smile, his demeanor shifting from intimidating to approachable in an instant. “Good evening, Mrs. Carter. My name is Xavier. I’m an old client of your husband’s. I was hoping to speak with him.”
Diane’s brow furrowed, her hand instinctively clutching the robe tighter around her. “Michael’s not home right now. He said he had a late meeting. Is there something I can help you with?”
Xavier’s smile faltered, replaced by a look of concern. “Actually, it’s about Michael. I’m afraid he’s not been entirely honest with you.”
Diane’s eyes narrowed, her voice turning sharp. “What do you mean? What are you talking about?”
Xavier hesitated, his gaze softening as he took in her confused expression. “Look, Mrs. Carter, I don’t want to cause any trouble. But Michael… he didn’t handle my case properly. He let me take the fall for something I didn’t do. And now, I’m out, and I’m trying to set things right. But I need your help.”
Diane’s face paled, her hand flying to her chest. “I… I don’t understand. Michael’s a good man. He would never—”
“I know it’s hard to hear,” Xavier interrupted, his voice gentle. “But sometimes, people aren’t who they seem. And I’m afraid Michael’s been hiding a lot from you.”
Diane’s eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling. “What are you saying? That Michael’s been lying to me?”
Xavier reached into his pocket, pulling out his phone. He swiped through the screen, then held it up, showing her the photo of Michael and Suzanna. Diane’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the image, her hands shaking. “No,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “This can’t be real.”
Xavier’s expression turned grim. “I’m afraid it is. And it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Michael’s been playing you, Mrs. Carter. And it’s time you knew the truth.”
Diane’s eyes blazed with anger, her tears drying as quickly as they’d appeared. “That son of a bitch,” she hissed, her voice laced with venom. “I can’t believe I almost started a family with that pig.”
She reached for her phone, her fingers flying across the screen as she dialed Michael’s number. But Xavier placed a hand on her arm, stopping her. “Wait,” he said, his voice low and urgent. “There’s another way. A way to get back at him. To make him suffer for what he’s done.”
Diane’s gaze snapped to his, her anger warring with curiosity. “What are you talking about?”
Xavier reached into his jacket, pulling out a small gift box. He handed it to her, his eyes never leaving hers. “Open it,” he said, his voice steady.
Diane hesitated, her fingers brushing over the box’s smooth surface. Slowly, she lifted the lid, revealing the contents inside—an oversized pair of black lingerie, the fabric adorned with a spade emblem. Her eyes widened as she pulled the pieces out, holding them up to her body. “What is this?” she asked, her voice shaking.
Xavier’s smile turned mischievous. “It’s a symbol. A way to show Michael that you’re not the woman he thinks you are. That you’re stronger, smarter, and more powerful than he could ever imagine.”
Diane’s brow furrowed, her confusion evident. “But… what does it mean? The spade?”
Xavier’s gaze intensified, his voice dropping to a whisper. “It’s a Queen of Spades. A woman who goes black only. A woman who takes what she wants, no matter the cost.”
Diane’s eyes flicked to the lingerie, then back to Xavier. Her cheeks flushed, her heart pounding in her chest. “You’re saying… I should wear this? For you?”
Xavier’s smile widened, his hand reaching out to caress her flat belly. “Not just for me,” he said, his voice husky. “For yourself. To show Michael that he can’t control you. That you’re capable of anything.”
Diane’s breath hitched, her body trembling as Xavier’s touch sent shivers down her spine. She looked down at the lingerie, then back at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and desire. “Mr. Xavier,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t even know you.”
Xavier’s gaze softened, his thumb brushing over her skin. “Call me Xavier. And you’re right, you don’t know me. But you will. And by the time I’m done, you’ll know exactly who you are.”
Diane’s eyes met his, her heart racing as she took in his confident smile. Slowly, she reached out, her fingers brushing against his. “How do we start?” she asked, her voice steady despite the turmoil within her.
Xavier’s grin turned predatory. “We start with you wearing that lingerie. And then… we’ll see where the night takes us.”
Diane’s cheeks flushed, her body tingling with anticipation. She looked down at the Queen of Spades lingerie, then back at Xavier, her eyes shining with a mixture of fear and excitement. “Okay,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “Okay.”
