65- Preparations

Rebeca

When my family finally settled down safely with Sebastian's help, I started to move to pay for what Anastasia did. She's locked up in her room, forbidden to leave, anyone who goes against Sebastian's orders will be severely punished and because of that, no one is helping her, as for Hannah, even though I said I'd leave her all her life locked up in the basement, I was just mocking her and using her fears to my advantage, I ordered her to be released and leave the next day, I wasn't interested at all in the presence of a tramp in my house, it would only waste my time and I don't want to be delayed in anything unnecessary. All I need now is to focus on getting my sweet little revenge, after which I can rest properly for a few days.

I thought I'd pay my brother-in-law a visit, I haven't seen his face for days and I really want to laugh at him. Honestly, he doesn't worry me, the only thing that bothers me is the fact that he's a complete asshole, he could be something other than handsome, however, it seems that he can only do shit, that's what I heard from the Graham brothers, it's unfortunate, he could be very useful.

I asked where I should go until I reached his room, I entered without knocking and saw him lying on the bed, there are bruises all over his body, his face is slightly swollen and his lip is cut, the sight of him like this doesn't cause me anything.

\- What are you doing here? - he asks as soon as I enter.

\- Well, I'm visiting my injured brother-in-law. - I smile wryly.

\- Just say what you want and leave, I'm in this bed because of your husband. - he accuses.

\- No, I'm not. - I shake my head. - You're in this bed because you're an asshole. If you hadn't touched me, none of this would have happened, I warned you that you'd regret it, you're lucky you still have your hands. - argument.

\- You could have told me, I wouldn't have gone through this. - he grumbles.

\- Forget it, I want to ask you something. - I move a little closer and he immediately tenses up.

I can see he's not that dumb.

\- What do you want? - he asks defensively.

\- I'd like to know why he acts like such an asshole all the time, I refuse to accept that someone who is Sebastian's brother would be that foolish. - I say.

\- What are you talking about? - he asks suspiciously.

\- Look, you're a complete idiot, or so it seems. From what little I know, the only thing you know how to do is cause trouble, apparently you only think with a stick and never measure the consequences of your actions, you behave as if you're invincible, but you can't do anything for yourself. What on earth is going through your head? - I ask.

Dante lowers his head and remains silent for a few seconds.

\- This is none of your business. Do you think that just because you came into my room like that and asked, I should answer? Do you also want us to be friends and trace each other's hair? - you mock.

\- You know better, but I just want you to know that it's better to choose your side wisely, don't be an idiot even in this, think straight this time and analyze the situation as a whole. - warning.

\- Why are you doing this? - you ask.

\- Because although I act like an idiot, I suspect that's not the case, but I'll find out in time whether I'm wrong or not. I'm going now, rest. - I nod and leave without waiting for his reply.

Although I think it's a waste of time, I did it because I really want to find out what kind of person Dante is, the first impression is exactly what he's shown since then, despite never speaking to me since our first meeting, he throws me angry and disgusted looks, as if I were an insect crawling around his house, but which he can't kill for some reason. I suspect there's more to his attitude than meets the eye and perhaps his terrible behavior is an effect of the constant pressure from his mother, who always seems to control her son's life, making him run wild and get into trouble to escape her orders and expectations.

However, for the moment, this is just my suspicion, he may well be a jerk by nature and have nothing to do with other people.

Now it's time to see my beloved mother-in-law, who is stuck in her room because of her terrible behavior. It must be humiliating for a person who always wants to appear so haughty. Unlike your son, I'm not going to see her to say anything other than unpleasant words, mockery and sarcasm. I've been married to Sebastian for months now and all she's done is irritate me from the first meeting with her arrogant attitudes. First by refusing to accept me, as if I needed her approval for anything, then she tried a coup to seize power for herself and her son, threatened me with my sister-in-law and family and because of her schemes, I almost killed Sebastian, and I'm not even thinking about the little things she did during our brief encounters. I really wanted to send her off to the mountains and never see her face again. Maybe I'll do it this time, but I have a better idea of an ideal place for her. A really nice place that will match her obnoxious personality perfectly.

Unlike Dante's room, this one was being guarded by security guards. I greeted the two men and opened the door slowly, I knew that when she gets angry, she likes to throw things, I don't want her to hit my head with something.

\- Hello, mother-in-law. - I smiled brightly as I walked in.

Anastasia was sitting in a chair by the window, a beautiful view in front of her. At least she has something beautiful to look at, but it must be boring for her. Her eyes turned to me and filled with anger at the same moment.

\- What are you doing here, you tramp? - she asks angrily.

Oh, so aggressive.

\- I've come to see you, isn't it obvious that losing your money has affected your judgment? - I say back in the same tone.
