5 Years Later

Once upon a time. "Oh my ghosh did you see that...." "Yess Once Upon a time's CEO is gonna be revealed!!" "Aaah it's every actor and actress's dream to work contracts with Once Upon a time!" "Why even Sara who was a D-list actress 4 years ago has now become A-list" "The movies are also of an amazing content and clarity" "I don't care about all that they've taken care of my idol Jacob all these years soo well! They are the best!" "I wonder who the CEO is??! They say she is very beautiful but has a heart of ice."

Hmph. Listening to all the gossip and speculation going around Revanche smiles. It's a cruel smile. It's worth the wait. She thinks. After all these years of building the company and gathering power she will finally be able stand in front of them and fight head on. Christoph, Mandy just you wait I'm coming to kill you! She thinks with a slow smile.

Aisha comes bustling in. "Rev you've gotta be ready in an hour and you're still hogging around doing your hair!! Shit! Where are the stylists? Ugh. Where's the designer! How can you be so calm.... this is your first public appearance as the CEO Rev!!" Revanche giggles in one of those rare moments where she feels like a shell of her former self. "Don't worry Aisha, It'll all go well.... better than you expect." Aisha is Revanche's best friend who knows everything she's been through and was a great help in starting the company. She's Revanche's personal assistant and quite opposite to Revanche, with a bubbly outgoing personality and a sunshine that has yet to be darkened by the ugly ways of the world. Revanche is very fond of her and quietly endeavours to preserve her innocence. "Oh Em Ef G!!! You look fantastibutically amazing!!" Aisha exclaims. "Show them whose boss." She says as she wipes a tear. Revanche quietly hugs Aisha, then looks at the mirror. I've changed. She thinks. In a low cut deep red vintage dress, heavy makeup and red streaked dark brown hair she looked very different from before. Earlier she never used to wear such clothes that showed off her perky chest, narrow waist and cute ***, she was plain with minimal makeup, full brown hair. The only thing that stood out were her silverish grey eyes. It stood out then. It did so now.

But now makeup and the right dress transformed her, who knew that little things could cause such big changes!

To celebrate the success of actors and actresses signed to Once Upon a time and the 5th anniversary of the company, Revanche had decided to hold a banquet and make her comeback. She wanted her family to feel shocked, surprise and envy and Christoph to know that this is just the beginning. 😈

On the other side, a man with eyes as dark as the night sky, hair as blonde as the sand under sun chuckles. It's been too long firefly, I might forgive you for forgetting me but I won't forgive those who tried to take you away from where you belong. With me. Let's see what you are upto, it's not yet time for me to show myself but if you keep taunting me with that dress I might not hold on long enough for you to achieve what you set out for, all I want to do is bring you back to my side. He thinks.

The banquet is held in Hotel Ritz a high end classic place with amazing food where only a few can gain entrance and even fewer can stay. "Woww what a luxurious place, I can't believe it! Thank you Christoph darling for getting invitations." Mandy squeels pompously. Ugh. Christoph thinks. Getting these tickets second hand itself costs a fortune I had to sell two houses. Can't understand what's the big deal with these girls! It is just a party. Mandy on the other hand is day dreaming! Aah Christoph is becoming more and more unbearable. With this banquet I could get some A-list actor and get rid of Christoph. His nagging has become unbearable. With my beauty I could even get Jacob. 👺. With Rowena dead what use does Christoph have I can't even show off in front of her. She thinks sinisterly.

Julie on the other hand is a little more level headed and shrewd. She brings Mandy aside. "I know you are aiming for someone better but just in case keep Christoph at arms length." "Alright mama Christoph's bank balance is too low and he has also got a terrible attitude with the small **** that he has! It's time to set our aim higher." Mandy and Julie share a smile. Michael, Mandy's and Revanche's dad comes. "Ready darling, Mandy call Christoph. Let's enter. Nice dress Mandy." Michael says. Mandy wearing an outrageous glittery pink chiffon gown, looked every bit a clownish wh*re that she was. "Thanks dad. My friend gifted me." Luckily Andrew sent this dress, though I had to sleep with an ugly hoodlum like him atleast he is loaded! "What friend?" Christoph whispers furiously. "Honey you know Mary from college right?! She recently became fatter and couldn't fit into her dress so she gifted me saying it was too beautiful to throw away. You don't suspect me do you?!" "Of course not I was just asking." This b*tch dares to act cheeky towards me! I'll let her know. Christoph thinks, red with embarrassment.

In front of the Hotel people crowd waiting for the CEO of Once Upon A Time to make an entrance. Revanche though outwardly calm is a little nervous in facing Christoph and her family again. The car moves on, every second seems like an eternity and finally they reach their destination. Calm down Revs. Think of what they did, how cold the wind was when you were stabbed, how red the blood was, how nasty their faces were. A sense of cold calmness washes her as she remains still. She opens her eyes filled with cruel hatred and eerie stillness. With a calculating smile and confidence she walks down the carpet. They announce as whispers fill the room like buzzing bees. "Miss Revanche the CEO of Once Upon A time."
