71- The shrew is out

Rebeca

I discovered why Sebastian is so feared. He's very good at hand-to-hand combat, as I moved around him making all sorts of movements, I realized how quickly he can analyze the situation and turn the case in his favor. I've always known him to be a very intelligent man who always knows what he's doing, it's no wonder he's good at combat, but it's still surprising how talented he is, perhaps that's why he always acts so arrogantly.

It's almost as if it's allowed simply because he's so good at what he does.

\- I want you to do something for me. - I start as I untangle my hair and watch as he gets dressed.

\- You know you can ask for anything you want. - he says.

\- Good, what I'm about to ask isn't difficult to do. I want you to free Anastasia and in a few days, send her somewhere else with Dante. - I say.

That made him stop for a moment and he looked at me carefully.

\- Are you going to get rid of them? - he asks.

\- No, not yet. Honestly, I have nothing against Dante, although he's an asshole, he's not involved in any of this, he's just the pawn that Anastasia uses claiming to be everything to him, so he's not important, however, I intend to do something with it, you'll know when the time is right. - warning.

He seems to deliberate on this for a moment.

\- I see. I'll do it as soon as we get home. - he says.

I was pleased about that.

I'm planning something very interesting and fun. It's been a few days since I went to see Anastasia, she's not afraid of anything happening, or she has no idea what she's caused. Anyway, I don't care about her motives, she could have done anything she wanted and I wouldn't have minded, her mistake was to involve my family in this and try to use me to achieve her sordid plans, now I see myself obliged to finish her off in any way I can, I'm going to gradually take away everything she cares about, until there's nothing left but her useless life.

\- This is going to be a lot of fun. - I murmur with a little smile as I think of all that's to come. She doesn't even know what's in store for her and letting her out of her room is the first step, after she leaves the house with Dante, that's when I'll really start with my plan. It'll be quick and precise, I've got everything ready.

\- What are you talking about? - Sebastian asks, approaching.

\- Oh, it's nothing, I was just talking to myself, it's nothing important. - He smiles beautifully.

\- All right, let's go home. - he says and holds out his hand to me, I take it and we walk home.

***

As promised, Sebastian let Anastasia leave and soon found a place to send Dante and Anastasia on the pretext that he's tired of conflict and that this is for the best, he also made the money available to the two of them again, leaving them with as much freedom as possible.

It's time for the game to begin.

We're at the door, watching the two of them leave, Dante hasn't spoken to me since the day I visited him in his room, he was quiet and only looked at me once, his gaze was very serious, and I couldn't decipher what he's thinking at this very moment, but it's not a problem, I'm sure he's been thinking carefully about my words and knows exactly what I'm talking about, I don't care if he warns Anastasia about anything, it will only serve to show that he's of no use and shouldn't be spared. Anyway, it doesn't matter what choice he makes, in the end he'll serve one purpose or another.

\- Well, that's it. We're going now, Sebastian. - Anastasia warns.

She's leaving without putting up much of a fight, but you can see the disgust in her countenance, moving away from this house means that her position is gradually weakening, while mine is progressively solidifying, no matter how she tries, the moment people realize that she no longer has any influence, they will start to move away, since she will no longer be a bridge between them and Sebastian.

That's how most people are, they won't hesitate to use others as a stepping stone to climb up their ranks and reach higher places, I'm that kind of person too, I'm hateful, selfish, treacherous and I won't hesitate to step over someone who's getting in my way, I'm a ruthless killer and if I wasn't, I wouldn't survive in this world, I'd be nothing but a beautiful trophy and I absolutely refused to be an ornament and that's why I became the worst kind of person, to be the one who holds power, not the one who gets trampled on by it.

Anyway, I'm a terrible person and that doesn't bother me.

\- Have fun in your new home, mother-in-law. - I pin it on purpose.

\- I will. Enjoy the mansion while you can, because I'm sure it won't last long. One day or another, Sebastian will come to his senses and realize exactly what kind of person you are and when that moment comes, he'll kick you. - he replies with barely contained anger.

\- You'd better go, I don't want to see any more of this, I hope this time away will help you think about your behavior lately, after all, you've been very unpleasant and impolite, your behavior is shameful. - I say.

\- You two have had enough, I'd better go. See you later. - Sebastian says.

Anastasia nods begrudgingly, goes downstairs and gets into the car with an angry expression, I'll remember her dark eyes, full of the desire for revenge and barely contained rage. It was delicious to see the way she was forced to leave this house, she must feel defeated now, which will make her behave rashly, of course, she has no idea what I have prepared for her.

I sighed happily as I entered and took Sebastian's hand, who smiled.

\- You look very pleased. - he says.

\- Yes, I'm very happy. Now that she's gone, I can finally start with what I've planned. - I smiled.

\- What are you up to? - I ask.

\- Oh, it's something really fun that will set this mansion on fire. - I promise.

She can't wait.

Wait Anastasia, I'm preparing your present and it will be ready for delivery soon. I'd like to see the look on your face, but I'll settle for doing what I set out to do.

I took out my cell phone and typed a message to Vladimir.

“The shrew is out, let's get started.”
