Burn those Who Burned Me Novel Ch 22
-Rabena’s POV:
It had been two days since Aaron, and I got engaged. It was now May 3rd; the day Aaron would have his meeting with Thomas. The night before, Aaron came to the estate. Uncle Pete thought a congratulatory dinner would be appropriate, Aaron also wanted to go over what his plan would be for helping me bring down Thomas and my family.
“So, you’re still going to have the meeting with that asshole after everything he’s done to my sister?”
Damon was getting angry at the idea of my new fiancé doing business with the Lockwoods. Smiling cooly, Aaron began to explain.
“That’s precisely why I want to meet him. I have a plan to bring them all down in the worse way.”
Suddenly, Aaron looked cautiously at Damon.
“I hope you understand your family is included in this take down.”
Damon gave him an equally caus look.
“That’s fine by me, those people stopped being my family a long time ago.”
Aaron looked cooly at Damon before turning to me.
“My company has a charity ball that we host in different areas every year. This year, I’d like to host it in Banton. It’s also where I would like to introduce the world to my new fiancé and Priceland’s new president.”
Uncle Pete was the first to respond.
“I think that’s a wonderful idea! I assume you plan on inviting the Lockwoods and Crests?”
That devious smile I’d become all too familiar with crept up on Aaron’s lips.
“Indeed, I do. On Monday, I plan on informing him that our business decision will be made once he meets my soon–to–be wife as she is also a part of the deal.”
That night, we went over the whole plan to take down the Lockwoods and Crests. To be honest, I was extremely impressed, my fiancé clearly had a healthy concept of the art of war. Even Damon had to admit the plan was flawless.
“Wow. If they weren’t all such pieces of shit I would have actually felt sorry for them.”
I went to bed eager that night. Deciding to marry Aaron Michaels was definitely the right choice!
-Thomas POV:
I woke up that Monday morning feeling beyond excited. It had been several weeks since my divorce from Rabena, so Danielle and I decided to fianlly be together.. I didn’t see any reason on hiding my feelings anymore, besides, everyone already knew how I felt about her. She was the reason why I was able to finally meet the infamous Aaron Michaels, I owed her my love. I would figure out how to tell me grandmother once I secured this deal.
After buttoning his shirt, Danielle walked into the walk–in closet with a seductive look on her face.
“I think you should wear this tie. It’s bold and it represents authority.”
Thomas–looked thoughtfully at the tie; Danielle’s taste was definitely elegant. He felt powerful watching her finish up his tie with that lustful gleam in her eyes. Pulling her close, he rubbed his nose gently across hers
“I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you. When this deal is over I have a surprise for you.”
Danielle’s eyes gleamed with joy She’d suspected Thomas would be proposing soon. It was sheer luck the day he came running in face filled joy to thank her setting up a meeting with MGT Corp. Thomas picked her up and spun her around kissing her all over her face.
“Dani! I love you! I can’t believe you did this for me!”

At the time, Danielle had no clue what he referring to but Thomas professing his love for her made her not care. After gaining her balance back, she smiled with a puzzled expression, she didn’t want to flat out ask, still, she needed to know what he was thanking her for.
“Tommy, you know I would do anything for you. I love you.”
