Chapter 133 ALICIA'S SISTER.
ELDRIC’S POINT OF VIEW.
My cheeks burned from embarrassment as I tried not to focus on the way everyone stared at me. The bitch still stood in front of me, her eyes filled with something volatile. I opened my mouth to speak, but she raised her hand and held it to my face, a condescending expression on her face as she said;
“I wasn’t fucking done speaking.”
For some reason, I couldn’t talk back. All I could do was stifle the urge to beat her to death.
“Now that you’ve killed Alicia, you’re not satisfied. Because you still thought you would get the company. You thought you would finally become the king of a kingdom that was never made for you, or by you. You wanted to sit on a throne you were never created for. You thought your son, Lucien, would never be a threat. After all, he was just a kid when you murdered his mother. You wanted to use him as leverage.
But Alicia’s parents were not having it, so they took their grandson away from you, raising him on their own so he would not become the monster you wanted to turn him into. You even tried to get custody of him. But I guess daring to go against a family as powerful as that has consequences.” She said with a smile, before moving away from me and over to the window.
I wonder where the hell she’s going with this, because this was supposed to be my coronation day. I turned to the other directors, who sat still and hadn’t said a word since the bitch started.
“Are you all not going to say anything?” I yelled, my cheeks burning bright red, the hairs on my neck standing as my throat suddenly became dry. They didn’t even look at me. Rather, they acted like I didn’t fucking exist; like I was a caricature, a fucking animal, something they didn’t have to pay any mind to. “What the hell is wrong with you all?!” I said, hating how pitchy my voice sounded. “Do you realise you’re ignoring the new CEO of Ravenscroft Group of Companies?
I will make sure every one of you gets fired from your jobs the second I get in! You all dare keep quiet while this bitch goes on and on about me?!
Where are your loyalties?” My chest heaved as I breathed heavily from my outburst.
She didn’t even look flustered, and nor did any of them. I saw from the corner of my eye that one of the directors cleared his throat, causing me to glance at him. To my utter surprise and humiliation, the fucker’s phone made some weird childish music……is he playing a fucking video game right now?!
“You bastard,” I yelled, advancing towards him, but I stopped in my tracks as the blonde-haired bitch slammed something into my back.
The force pushed me to my knees before her immediately, causing another wave of embarrassment to course through me.
“How dare you?!”
“You still don’t get it, do you?” She chuckled and lifted my head so I was at eye level with her. “You thought you were coming here to claim what belongs to someone else…..But guess what, we were always one step ahead of you. You weren’t satisfied with what you did to Alicia, so you planned to get rid of her son.” She whispered and shook her head. “Time had caught up with you, Eldric. And she wants her payment right now.”
Before I could even blink, the doors flew open, and different police officers rushed into the room with their guns drawn, as they yelled, “On your knees, Eldric Hayes! Get on your knees, and put your hands where I can fucking see them.”
Panic and fear gripped me as I complied instantly. I could feel the barrel of a gun pressed to the back of my head, while another officer pointed one directly in my face. I swallowed hard, and as I looked around as discreetly as possible, I didn’t find anyone.
The place was fucking surrounded.
How the fuck did this happen?!
“Eldric Hayes, you’re under arrest for the murder and assault of Alicia Ravenscroft. As well as the murder of Doctor Montgomery, forgery of official company documents, and accomplice to an attempted murder, as well as attempted murder. You have the right to be silent, as anything you say can and will be used against you in court. You also have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, the great state will provide one for you.”
An officer droned on as another handcuffed me. All I could feel was rage.
Deep-seated and uncontrollable rage.
I looked around and noticed one thing to my horror. “Wait, why are none of them being arrested as well? We planned all this together.”
“You fool.” The blonde-haired lady said and walked over to me. “You planned all this, idiot. We were just happy to follow the orders of our actual boss.”
Different questions buzzed through my mind, as I asked…”Who is your boss?”
“Me.” Someone said before she could answer. The moment the person spoke, two things happened. She and every other person in the place bowed their heads, and my blood went still in shock.
“Lucien?” I said, turning to face my son. The guns were pointed in my direction with every breath I took, but as much as my mind was on them, it was also on the fact that Alicia’s bastard had beaten me. ‘How?”
“I’m not a fucking fool, that’s how, you motherfucker.” Lucien said, his darned girlfriend by his side. I closed my eyes and winced at the pain in the back of my neck.
“You knew this entire time?”
“No. Not the entire time, but for the past three weeks. My mother was smarter than you gave her credit for, you bastard. She left me clues and piles of evidence, which helped me connect the fucking dots. You thought you got rid of her, you thought you silenced her permanently, but she was a step ahead of you.
She knew she would have to protect me from your monstrosity.” He explained.
Alicia, that darned Alicia!
I should have beaten her harder, I should have broken her fucking legs, and made her a cripple. She dared to do this to me?
That pathetic bitch dared to gather evidence against me??
I’ll fucking…..I’ll get my revenge, I’ll ruin everything she ever fucking touched! I swear it, even if it’s the last thing I fucking do, I’ll make sure she cries even in her fucking grave!
“Now you can be locked behind bars, which is where you belong before hell, you bastard.” The voice of the blonde-haired woman droned in again, causing me to snap my head towards her.
“What the hell is it to you, you bitch?” I asked, and next thing I knew, the cunt punched me square in the jaw. The force of it caused me to stumble slightly, and the police to place their guns directly at my head and neck. I hissed in pain as blood trickled down my jaw from a split lip.
“Alicia....” She started, her breathing heavy as her eyes filled with anger. “Was my sister.” She revealed, removed her glasses, and pulled off the wig. My eyes widened as her full face came into view, mirroring that of my dead wife.
