Chapter 11 Scheming In Silence

Ethan where's that brother of yours he asked looking at him his voice cold and hard as if he was taking out his anger on him

I don't know" he's nowhere to be found he said coldly and I could sense the annoyance he felt in his tone

You were supposed to keep an eye on him!! he shouted angry clenching his hands"

I'm not his babysitter Tristan is a grown man he answered in annoyance

He better not be blowing up one of my warehouses again, that boy I'm going to kill him he said running his frail fingers through his hair

Find him now!! otherwise tomorrow I'll have your head on the table he said before leaving

Ethan didn't say more I watched him clench his hands in anger, Fuckin Tristan I heard him curse under his breath

I poured myself some red wine as I watched the drama unfold, It seems that I have missed a lot while away but from what I could make out while sitting here it seems that Riccardo is losing his grip on his children, he is getting old and he can no longer control them like he used to, after all he's a control freak hell bent on making everyone around him a puppet

In the past Ethan would have not dared talk back to him like he did, Amelia would have not dared to start an argument in front of him nor act like she did and Tristan wouldn't have done something so drastic as to blow up his warehouse to spite him after all he respected him a lot, he was his favourite son" what happened while I was away I had to find out

But whatever it is I have no complains, I like seeing him like this, but it still doesn't cut it I'm not satisfied" I won't rest until I have destroyed everything he has ever held dear in his heart and killed his entire family in front of him and then end him" I want him to suffer" I want him to cry tears of blood and beg before meeting a cruel death like my mother did" the only difference is that I want him to have no one by his side in his last moments, I want him to be all alone with no family so he feels my pain

An evil smile played on my lips as I took another sip of the red wine thinking of ways to create a rift between Riccardo and his children and turn them against him afterwards, starting with Amelia she was an easy target and an overly jealous sister, always jealous of his brothers because Riccardo had made it clear to her that her brothers will inherit the family Ampire and she will inherit nothing because she's a girl

I still remember how she had reacted to the news in the past, I know this because I stood outside Riccardo's office ears dropping, never in my life had I ever heard her so angry that day she broke everything in her father's office before Riccardo slapped her and then threatened her afterwards, I must say I almost fell sorry for her, Almost"

Amelia was smart and ambitious it is such a pity that Riccardo chose to ignore her talents because of her gender she would have made a great business woman, but whatever happened has happened for the good because now I can use it to my advantage

By poisoning Amelia's mind with the right amount of poison I can turn her against her father" I need not do too much work after all she's almost at her breaking point, her angrily leaving the table without waiting for Riccardo to dismiss her is proof of that

This was my chance I was not going to let it go to waste after all why would I miss the opportunity to spite Riccardo, who knows maybe creating a rift between them will come handy in future when I get my revenge

Why did you stand up for me" I asked looking at him as we were the only ones left on the table

I had expected a thank you but still I'm not surprised" he said looking at me as his lips curved into a smirk

Thank you for what, I can stand up for myself Ethan I'm not helpless and I'm not blind as to see when people do things because they expect something back I said coldly

You're smarter than I thought, but that's not the case, this time around" he said making sure to put emphasis on his last words

Then what is it I asked looking at him" my gaze unyielding

You have got to be patient you'll know very soon, Violet" he said with emphasis on my name

Stop beating around the bush Ethan, I don't like surprises I'll rather know now I said looking at him

Goodnight Violet, sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite you he said winking at me before standing up and leaving, I watched him leave and for a while I sat there his words lingering on my mind until I decided to go to sleep" what did he mean and why was he speaking in riddles
