Hundred and sixty

Hundred and sixty
Arnold's POV

I made Marco pull the rest of the security footage in the mansion. None of them showed an intruder. No outsider has entered the mansion. My men have been on guard for the entire night.
I didn't have the time to wait for even one more hour.
The only footage missing was the one above the stairs. The fucking hallway. And unfortunately, there was no fucking camera at that part of the mansion but I already knew who fucking pushed my wife down the stairs.
Nikolai found something on the stairs that belonged to the traitor.
I signaled for Marco to wake her up.
He walked over to the bed and poured a bucket of cold water over her.
She slammed out of her sleep in seconds. Her gaze ran around until it settled on my father who was standing beside me." Davide?" She called her husband, and her eyes shifted to me on the couch.
I didn't expect her to be happy seeing me but I expected her to be afraid which she was. The same fear I instilled in people when I make an appearance especially those who owe me a fucking life.
" What is going on here?" She stuttered, her clothes wet as she sat up on the bed and wiped her face with her hand.
" Why did he pour water on me? I'm your father's wife, Arnold." She asked angrily and I chuckled.
Did she really think I fucking care about her position in this house and whose wife she was?
" You tried to kill my wife, Elizabeth," I told her, my voice was anything but calm.
She shifted her fucking gaze to her husband.
" What?"
I didn't expect her to admit it but I have what it takes to make her admit it. I could fucking end her life right now but I didn't intend to make it easy for her.
I hated that I let her stay this long but fuck, I would make her regret ever targeting my wife.
" Davide, don't listen to him. He is accusing me." She rushed down the bed towards my father but Nikolai stepped in front of her, blocking her.
" I know you hate me but accusing me of doing something like this is out of line." She screamed and I turned my gaze to Nikolai.
He pushed her down on her knees.
" This is wrong." She yelled and I signaled for Nikolai to shut her up.
He slapped her across the face.
" Do you know what is wrong?" I asked, my eyes blazing in anger and rage.
" Is making a mistake of letting.g you live this long," I said to her and her face turned into terror.
Her eyes gradually turned to my father who had no intention of speaking for her. I didn't ask for his permission to torture his wife but he knew she had to pay.
" You forgot this after trying to kill her." I shoved the bracelet that was found on the stairs to her.
" Where. I didn't ...." Her lips trembled.
She has crossed a line she shouldn't have.
" She is a Wolfe, Elizabeth." My father reminded her of the rules.
A Wolfe does not hurt a Wolfe.
" Please, Arnold. Spare my life."
" Too late for that," I said in a cold, dangerous voice.
Once you cross me you must pay the price.
Everyone who has ever crossed me paid a price
" Marco, you know what to do." I got up from the couch and started towards the door." Davide please talk to your son."
Marco grabbed her and forced her onto her feet.
They followed me out of the room to the hall, right at the edge of the stairs.
It took just a single nod from me for her to roll down the stairs.
I made sure her own was brutal.
Angelina was pushed once but she had to go through that ten times.
Marco pushed her down the stairs ten times and by the time he was done the whole stairs were covered with her fucking blood.
I wished I could put a bullet in her head but seeing her unconscious and in a fucking bloody mess made me feel a little calm.
I went back to our room. She was lying unconscious.
Her head was covered in a white bandage.
My heart went cold just looking at her pale face.
" I have paid her back." I whispered as I sat at the edge of the bed." I'm sorry for failing to protect you for the second time." I said, taking her hand and rubbing her knuckles with my thumb." It seems I have to kill everyone in the Wolfe family if I want to keep you safe." And I would if I had to.
" Arnold." Nikolai walked in but I didn't look away from her.
She was worth everything in this life and I promised to protect her with my fucking life.
" To think that I even bought her a birthday present." He said in the midst of the silence.
" I thought to impress her and make up for all those times I have been an asshole to her."
" Nikolai Wolfe, my wife is not dead." I reminded in a cold chilly voice.
He fucking sounded like he was given a tribute in a fucking church.
" For the first time, I will have to agree with you." He laughed.
" And make sure you keep that gift, bring it to her when she wakes up," I ordered.
After I was done with my business in Sicily I took Angelina back to New York. To my mansion where everything started. Where she fucking belonged.
Elizabeth didn't die but she was better off dead.
Her face was disfigured and her legs were broken. While Angelina was in a fucking coma
But I wished I could do worse to her than just two broken legs and a disfigured face.
" What happened?" I asked the man kneeling in front of me and basically pleading for his life.
" I'm sorry Boss Arnold."
" You got greedy., I said the word and he lowered his head.
" You wanted more than I was giving you and you thought stealing from me was it." I wasn't asking.
" Take him away., I ordered and Marco dragged him out of my office.
I dropped the cigarette in the ashtray before striding out of my office.
We were back at the mansion. Our home.
The moment I stepped into our bedroom her phone was ringing.
I stared at her pale face and then at the phone on the bedside table.
I wanted to ignore it but not when it wouldn't stop ringing.
I picked it up and Xandros Davis' voice came through. I frowned.
" The lawyers have prepared the divorce agreement and it will be sent to you in a few days. I also appointed the best lawyer to handle your divorce." He said and my eyes turned colder. Icey cold.
This old bastard thinks it was easy to defeat Arnold Wolfe.
" I have sent you a birthday present. I hope you like it."
" Does she know why you have been poisoning her against me?" I demanded.
" What have you done to my granddaughter?" He asked and a cold chuckle left my lips.
" We both know she is safer with me than with you, "I told him. Besides, he was the reason Cole hid her for ten fucking years.
" I would have agreed if Tobis Wolfe wasn't your uncle."
My nose flared in rage at the mention of Tobis.
" Angelina is mine. The earlier you know the better for you."
