WEIGHTED 51

UNKNOWN POV

‘How much of your company do you still control, Mason?’ I asked.

‘Nothing. That bitch made sure I received the same treatment I treated her with all those year ago!’ He said fuming.

Fucking useless bastard!

‘She used Dwyer?’

‘Yes, he gave her all the documents and evidences that I forged to get her behind the bars and gain control over her inheritance. Now I’m wanted for several crimes here and Cape Town that I can’t even show my face anymore!’ He was pacing the room by now, making me dizzy and annoying me further.

‘I will fucking make them pay when I cat…’

‘You can’t do as much as breath their way unless you want to be killed! You’re nothing but a coward bastard that couldn’t control his cheating wife. You should thank your lucky stars for escaping her clutches!’ I fumed. ‘Just who are you trying to fool!’

‘BBbut there has to be something we could do to bring them down!’ He was still pacing around.

‘Sit down already! You’re making me dizzy.’ I hissed.

He looked at me for awhile before obeying.

‘There’s only one way to trap them in our webs, their kids. Grab whomever you can, the more the merrier.’ I ordered everybody present in the room where we’re currently having our meeting in.

This is my last chance to get her, my last chance to avenge the wrongdoings my sister suffered.

I have to see her crumbling before my eyes for me to have peace of mind, and I would do that even if it meant I’ll have to sign my life away as a price.

‘Even Ethan?’ Asked one of the men.

‘Especially Ethan?’ I emphasised.

I won’t be excluding him out because of two main reasons, one being that of the easiness to ship him off to his real mother if I got my hands on him, and second because he’ll be the perfect bait to lure Elize in. She loves him too much for her own good, even I can’t deny that fact.

The way she looks at him and the tenderness she handles him with is undeniable. She never once treated him as another’s, but then again all that could be an act, a wicked way to ensure that both the baby and the father forgot about my sister. To secure her newfound place in their hearts.

‘When do you think will be the right time to start?’ One of them asked.

‘There isn’t such a thing as ‘the right time’ when it comes to that family. Tyrone makes sure they’re all protected at all times, and they don’t leave the premises unless they have school otherwise they’re always in their mansion playing with those beggars their parents took in.’ I said disgusted just thinking of that herd they took under their roof. ‘So our best shot is when they’re inside the school premises, you would go there and lay low until the right moment presents itself to you. Even though their bodyguards won’t leave their side, there would still be a time where they would be much lesser than the usual army they’re always surrounded with, and that right there would be your queue to make your move.’ I continued.

‘Understood?’

‘Yes, Ma’am.’ They all echoed at once.

‘Well, then let’s roll.’ I dismissed.

When they were all gone and the room was evacuated, I dialled the hanim’s phone number.’

‘Speak!’ She spat angrily.

I don’t know what did I ever do to deserve such treatment, such hatred from her. I mean I slaved for her my entire life for crying out loud, I sought her satisfaction in every little thing I did from a very young age, only to receive nothing but hatred and disgust in return.

‘Some of the boys went to execute a plan I came up with to get her and her husband.’ I got right to the point. There was no need for pleasantries with her, since she wasn’t too keen to deal with them either.

‘A plan you devised you say?’ She said in a chuckle dryly, humourlessly.

‘Yes, hanim.’

‘I don’t know about you but I won’t be putting my hopes high. I would be happy if we don’t end up caught because of your so called plan.’ She continued mocking me, putting me down to the point of no return.

She was always like this, the cruel and heartless uncaring bitch.

‘Where is the other useless disgrace?’ She asked in an emotional tone referring to Dana, one wouldn’t think she’s talking about her own blood.

‘I shipped her to her father to avoid any future complications.’ I answered nonetheless. 'She got a boat to sail to Paternoster..' I got cut off before I could finish my sentence.

‘You’re both a disgrace to my name, just like that useless old geezer you call a father, If only Elize was my daughter instead, I wouldn’t be suffering this much with two good for nothing sluts.’ She screamed before cutting the phone.

I put the phone aside calmly, I was used to this side of hers that it doesn’t faze me anymore. She wouldn’t feel any kind of peace unless if she calls one of us names and put us down with the harshest of words in the dictionary.

She always had a soft side for Elize that it still amazes me how she wants her down so much. She was always there for her, treating her with the utmost respect, care and love that my sister and I were disproved of from the very beginning of our lives.

I wonder how can a woman treat her own offspring with such hatred and carelessness, but treat a total stranger with the love of a true mother.

It was one of the many reasons that had accumulated along the years to make Elize’s Fall a must.

My phone buzzed on the table with a message that lit my whole world.

It was time to have my revenge, time to satisfy my overly starved self.

‘We got them.’

Just simple words but with a meaning that’s like no other. I am finally able to get the one thing I longed for, for God knows how many years.

A closure.
