Is this destiny?

In the VIP room, Sarah is leaning into Aiden\'s embrace while sitting on the sofa, and they are watching surveillance videos from Jeffrey\'s and JoAnna\'s wedding on the large TV.

The whole scene would be a pleasant one of ten people watching family videos of a happy occasion, if not for the fact that eight people are sitting on the chairs, tied up, and they are watching clips which show how those eight people plotted against Sarah and Aiden.

Video on the screen showed Aaron, Thomas, Liam, Noah, Paul and Henry in the garden of the Golden Ocean Resort. Timestamp shows that it is recorded before the wedding ceremony.

"Where is Patrick?", Henry asked.

"He is running late.", Liam said. "But don\'t worry, I spoke with him yesterday. He knows about the plan, and he is definitely in."

"Lewd creep…", Thomas snorted. "Of course, he is in. Patrick will do anything to score another girl."

"How do we decide who will go first?", Paul asked.

"I am first.", Aaron announced.

"Sure, sure…", Liam rolled his eyes. "We all know you want to seduce her in order to get your revenge for Jessica."

"OK. Fine!", Paul was not happy about this. "How do we decide who will go first after Aaron?"

"I don\'t want to be toward the end… it\'s like… dipping in your drippings." , Thomas shivered in disgust.

"What drippings?", Noah frowned. "You better have a condom ready!"

"How about we have a reward system for people who are later in the queue?", Henry suggested.

"I am listening…", Thomas was interested.

"First one goes once, second one can go twice… you see where I\'m going with this?" Henry said with a malicious smile.

Paul snorted. "So, if you are last, that means you can go seven times? What are you? Incredible Hulk?"

"You don\'t have to go seven times.", Henry rolled his eyes. "But it\'s an option available to you… I can see that someone likes this idea." Henry snickered and nudged Liam with his elbow.

"I don\'t care who goes first.", Liam sneered. "As long at the bitch suffers, I will be happy."

"That still does not answer how do we determine order…", Thomas reminded them.

Sarah felt how Aiden\'s hold on her is intensifying as the video progressed. She looked at him and tapped her earpiece. "Eve, disable color changing for Aiden\'s lenses."

The color of Aiden\'s irises changed from red to dark, but his anger didn\'t subside in the slightest.

It is not the first time for them to watch these videos, but this is not something that gets easier with practice. The emotions stirred, and that is exactly the reason they decided to see them again in this setting. Sarah and Aiden want to remind themselves what the intentions of eight people were, and at the same time, they want those eight people to know that their plans are discovered.

After video showing Madison and Liam talk about drugging Aiden and how Liam promised that Thomas will also help out to get Aiden into Madison\'s room, they turned off the TV.

Sarah and Aiden stood up and looked at eight petrified faces. No one dared to look at them. Even Noah looked at Sarah\'s shoes.

Sarah spoke first. "As you can see, we know what your plans were. And you can guess that you are here so that we can punish you for your sins. Do you have any suggestions, how should we punish you?"

Madison narrowed her eyes and glared at Sarah. "What gives you the right to judge me? I saw him first!"

Sarah didn\'t deny it. "Yes, you did. But he does not want you, and because of that you drugged him. So, I will judge you for the evil things you did."

"Look at you…", Madison sneered. "Why do you think that you can determine what is evil and what is not? Do you really believe that you know the truth better than anyone?"

Sarah\'s eyes flashed with insanity while she silently chanted not to rip the woman in front of her in pieces. She has other plans for her. "Madison. I have the right to determine rules because you are… weaker. For me, there is only one truth, and that is Aiden. Whoever tries to break us apart is evil and will be punished accordingly."

"Aren\'t you self-righteousness?" Madison\'s desperation was turning into a madness. She knows that she is trapped, and guilty, and in a lot of trouble. But she can\'t stop herself from talking.

"Maybe…" Sarah stood in front of Madison, grabbed a handful of Madison\'s hair and yanked her head backward, forcing her to look up at her. "Only a person who can defeat me than me can judge me. Do you see where I\'m going? In order to stop me, you need to be stronger, faster, smarter than me… and you are neither."

Madison grimaced because Sarah\'s pull on her hair was painful. "What do…"

SLAP!

Heavy slap from Sarah stopped whatever Madison was about to say.

"When will you stop talking?" Sarah asked Madison. "Learn your place. At the bottom…" Sarah kicked the chair, making it topple and Madison hit the ground heavily.

Sarah turned to the seven guys who looked back at her in horror. "Does any of you think that you can defeat me in a fight? If you do, speak up and we can have a match. If you defeat me, you can walk out of here. No one will get in your way."

All seven men lowered their heads.

"I thought so.", Sarah looked at Aiden and he placed on the table a briefcase which they brought with them when they came to the room.

"What are you going to do?", Liam asked with a shaky voice.

"We believe in tooth for a tooth. Since you guys wanted to beat up Aiden and take turns with me while he is watching… you will experience something like that." Sarah explained.

"You don\'t think it\'s enough that you destroyed our families and income?", Thomas\' voice was high-pitched from fear.

"No." Aiden coldly responded. "Because if you succeeded, you would destroy our family."

Sarah heard the pain in Aiden\'s voice, and she turned to him and hugged him tightly.

He hugged her back immediately and closed his eyes while inhaling her scent.

Only two of them know how painful it would be if they are not together. And they promised to each other many times since that wedding that they will not allow anyone to jeopardize what they have. They will obliterate without any mercy everyone who wants to come in-between them.
