68- I need to hold on a little longer

Anastasia

I would have liked to wait a little longer, to prepare everything until it was perfect, I just needed a few more months to get everything ready, but if I don't act now, I won't be able to accomplish what I've worked so hard to do, I need to act, the problem is that I can't leave this damned room, I don't have access to a single penny and even my phone calls are being monitored, I can't do anything for now, what I have left is to wait a few days until Sebastian allows me to leave the house. Unfortunately, my last plan also failed, I have no idea how it all went wrong, it was perfect and would have gotten rid of all the obstacles in one fell swoop, I used the dumb widow's pain and grief and manipulated her to the point where she believed with all her might that her sister-in-law was in cahoots all along with Sebastian to take power of the Miller family for herself, I also got her to convince the others, I showed her how the crazy bitch lived happily in this mansion with my stepson and that her evenings were always fun, I filled her head with all sorts of things until she was completely filled with hatred for her sister-in-law and agreed to my plan.

It was a simple plan, she gave me access to that family's house, where I had a bomb planted in a hidden place, after that, she just had to make her choose the family or Sebastian, it was a very simple plan, either way, I would get rid of someone and if by any chance, it was the case, she would agree to kill Sebastian, after I'd taken the proof, at midnight sharp, when everyone was gathered in the same place, the bomb would explode taking everyone to hell and making me a happy woman, however, being locked in the room and incommunicado, I don't know what happened, I only know that something went wrong. All I know is that the house exploded, but nobody died because the family was traveling somewhere. Sebastian is still breathing and the bitch has just left my room after coming here to say a lot of things, including numerous threats. My face still stings from the pain of the slap, it was a strong and unexpected blow. As if that wasn't enough, knowing that my niece is dead isn't pleasant, but I can use it to incite my brother to help me, I know he won't forgive anyone for killing his daughter, I'll prepare everything perfectly so that he has the worst possible impression and that his hatred for Sebastian and that woman grows at breakneck speed, after that, he'll support me in anything in order to avenge his daughter, I'm sure this will work, I just need to get out of this room.

\- I admit that this bitch is just as dangerous and volatile as Sebastian and this is just one more reason for me to act and get rid of her as soon as possible. - I mutter, biting my nails with rage.

I'll wait, I can wait a little longer, just until I get out of this room.

\*\*\*

Days have passed since I was thrown into this room, I can't receive anyone apart from Sebastian and his crazy wife, fortunately, she hasn't shown up since that day, Sebastian hasn't come to see me either, honestly, the only thing I care about is knowing if Dante is okay, however, all I'm told is that he's recovering in his own room and that makes me a little distressed. I wish I could see him with my own eyes, hearing that he's recovering is enough just to keep me on my toes, this is a clear warning, if I do anything he could be the target of Sebastian's wrath, he's made it very clear, one more problem, no matter how small and he'll take it all out on Dante, so the first thing I need to do is get Dante out of this house and into a safe place where Sebastian's power won't reach, luckily, I know what to do.

I sat down in my seat to wait for lunch, which didn't take long to arrive, but this time I was joined by an unexpected guest. Sebastian was at my door and looked very serious, which made me apprehensive, but I did my best to hide my feelings and put on a stoic mask and faced him.

\- You here, don't tell me you've come to free me from my punishment? - I sneered.

He stares at me in silence for long seconds and I feel uncomfortable with his dark, cold gaze. Sometimes I get the impression that his eyes are filled with nothing but the desire to kill and this is disconcerting at times, since he always openly demonstrates how playing with other people's lives amuses him so much.

\- It seems that as well as learning to keep quiet, you've also become more perceptive. - he murmurs.

That surprised me, I thought he was coming for some other reason, but I can't celebrate yet, he might have ulterior motives.

\- If he's joking, it's not funny at all. You don't even let me see my son, that's cruel Sebastian. - I grumble.

\- I'm not joking, you can leave the room from now on, you can also leave the mansion, however, your money is still frozen. - he warns.

I've decided to act like a woman full of gratitude, even though I hate him with all my might, I have to pretend until the end, no matter how hard it is, I'm going to do it, it's nothing compared to all the years I've had to pretend so far, every day I'm closer to my goal, smiling and being grateful isn't difficult when I think of everything I'm going to get soon.

\- Thank you for your consideration, son. - I smiled brightly pretending to be grateful for what he'd done.

I could grind my teeth right now, from the hatred I feel at the moment.

\- I'm going now, don't do anything annoying, live quietly and don't cause me any trouble. You know what will happen if you play with me again. - He warns indifferently, as if it were nothing, turns his back and walks away.

The smile turned into a snarl the instant the door closed and I cursed quietly at Sebastian and everyone in my way.

Damn them, I'm going to wipe them all out, I won't let anyone escape my hands, soon I'll take power and give it to my son, to whom it really belongs, only then, on that day, will I be able to be happy, when I see the corpses of Sebastian and his wretched little wife, at that moment, I'll laugh loudly and rejoice like never before, it will be a party for me and the best moment of my life. I'm going to take revenge on everyone for everything I've ever endured.

My revolt will soon begin and Sebastian will tremble before my power.
