A THREAT

A THREAT
CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE

KATE

"Mom, what did that bitch Diana want? She's such a vindictive bitch, I can't believe that she got her new boyfriend to beat me up! I really want to teach her a lesson! Does she realize that this is our turf? Does she think that she can do whatever she wants here?" Dylan asked, an annoyed look on his face.

I glanced at my second son, anger and bitterness in my heart. I had tried my best to make sure that Dylan turned out like my first son, James. However, Dylan was just crooked from birth.

I hated to admit, but sometimes, I found myself wishing that Dylan was the one who died instead of James.

Of course, I would be sad at the loss of my son, but then, I would still have my most outstanding son with me.

"What happened earlier?" I asked, a dark look on my face.

Although I hated Diana, I knew that women well, and I knew that she would not come here to make such a huge scene if something did not happen to her.

For some reason, she despised this family. She was just a show off, after all the things my son gave to her, just because he was harsh to her a few times did not mean that she had the right to hate him.

He was so good to her, and my son who had never disobeyed me before went against me to marry her!

Was all of that not enough for her?

Dylan turned his eyes from me, and I knew that he had done something wrong.

This bastard! Why was I plagued with a son like this?

"What did you do?" I asked him.

"It's her honour that I even want to have anything to do with her! What right does she think she have to reject me?" Dylan snapped.

I could not stand his words, and I slapped him hard across the face when I heard this.

"How dare you?" I barked at him.

My chest was hurting, as I thought of how both of my sons seemed to be under a spell.

Neither one of them seemed to be able to break away from that woman, Diana!

James was in love with her and he went through so much to get married to her, and as for Dylan, even though she was his dead brother's wife, he still wanted to sleep with her!

Diana was a demon sent to destroy my family! She had both my sons wrapped around her finger like it was nothing!

"Mom, why did you hit me? James was so obsessed with her, I just wanted to see what was so great about her and why he chose to stay with her even when you didn't approve of her. I just want to see what is so great about her to make him insist on her when you disapproved. I don't think I did anything wrong!" Dylan defended himself.

"You....you.... what did I do to deserve a son like you?" I screamed while pointing a finger at him.

Dylan really could not compare to his brother at all. How could he think of these things and tell himself that it's okay?

James....tears rolled down my cheeks as I thought of how outstanding my son was and how he had to die so soon.

If only he was still alive....

"Last time, I already warned you that she is someone that you cannot touch. You have to leave her alone. Because of what you did, she forced me to let her leave. If you really try to sleep with he, she is going to drag down this family. It's what she has always wanted to do. Are you really just going to give her that chance?" I asked Dylan.

I really wanted to know what went on in his head.

"Whatever mom, what did she come here for?" He. asked.

I sat down on the sofa and sighed. "She wants you to sell the land to that Chris person. She said that if you refused to sell it to him at the original market price, then she is going to fight with us for the assets James left her before he died," I informed Dylan.

His eyes went wide when I said this, and he looked scared.

"Mom.....did James really leave her any assets?"he asked me.

My blood boiled when I recalled this. My son, didn't even leave his brother anything. He just left me a paltry sum of money, and everything in his will went to that woman.

How could I not hate her when she manipulated my son so much and made it so that she was the only one he thought about?

"Is it true?" Dylan pulled on my arm as he asked me this.

I turned to glare at him sharply, "do you understand why you can't touch her now? If she wants to , she can make us lose everything. She is so vengeful! You cannot provoke her!" I warned Dylan.

He dropped his head, a defeated look on his face.

"What am I going to do now?" He asked me.

I glared at Dylan sharply. "Do you have a choice? She already said that she is going to make a big deal out if it if we don't comply. Sell the land to that person. It's just a land and we don't want it anyway," I said dismissively, waving my hand.

"But mom...."

"If you have a better option, you can go ahead do that!" I snapped.

All of this was his fault damn it!

Dylan still had some clarity that he was the one who caused this and so he was quiet.

"What the heck was wrong with James anyway? How could he leave everything to that woman? Mom, are we just going to let this be?" Dylan asked me.

A dark look flashed past my eyes when I thought of this.

Diana wasn't doing anything because she hates us now, but what if she changes her mind and decides to fight us for the assets?

I could not let her continue to exist, she would forever be a danger to Dylan and I.

I had to get rid of her somehow!
