Chapter 33 Everyone want to relate
You've probably forgotten about me, but I'm alive. You never knew I was cooking up something. What did you think? That I'll just disappear from Arianna's life totally? No! it's not that easy as you expect it. She was mine, that's in the aspect of her assets. After all we've been through together? I laughed mockingly and grinned. All I have to do is to express my grievance and how it irks me at heart. Ravyen! How dare him? He just appeared out of the blue, just when I was just about to hit my biggest jackpot. Does he think he could end me easily? His threat means nothing and I'm sure he's profiting from her too. He took away my source of income. I thought that was over, but that brute made me lose a lot of contract amidst taking Arianna away. One by one I watched my company falling apart because of Ravyen influence and connection in the real word. I only have Arianna's inheritance to fall back on which of course she might come back for. Not that I never liked her, but the thing is; She's weak, naive, easily deceived and just the opposite the woman I dream of. She talks of her emotions all the time. Not exactly pretty as I wanted, she's really bad at dressing and always put family first. Who does that in this 21st century? I needed someone strong and competent, hot and sexy. It isn't as though the Ravyen she ran to is a saint either. He is a psychopath and a mad dog who enjoys killing the innocent. He's a pingking in the dark world and only pretending to be the perfect gentle business man in the day. Wow! How cunning he was. That's the reason I keep buttressing that she could easily be influenced and deceived. Probably wondering how I know right? Thanks to Lo piccolo. A bloody mafia in his field and also a rival to Ravyen. He revealed Ravyen's secret to me. Our meeting was accidental. It was when I was digging up cases to bring Ravyen down. Who knew Ravyen had more than one enemy. Lo piccolo also wanted his life ruined and that settled it. We had the same aim but with a different motive. His was quite scrupulous. All I had to do was stick to the plan without getting exposed. Ravyen has something disturbing which might end my career. Lo piccolo wanted to get back at Ravyen for a deal that got screwed up. His tale with ravyen was quite fascinating as I find it something not really worth the fight. Just mafias way of stirring up a fight and it was quite impressive that I had a second thought of venturing into that field if time permits. He claimed Ravyen's assistant Frank showed up instead of the boss himself for a truce meeting. How insulting. Well, that's mafia's business anyway. I was least interested. If he would be a reason for me to achieve my revenge scheme, he was welcomed. All I needed was a partner to bring that maniac down. And he came at the right time. We are now partners Everyone sees me as the villain, but imagine if everyone abandoned you, maltreated you, looks down on you and belittled. All for being nothing. My name wasn't even included in the family's will book. No one wanted to associate with me because they call me badluck. As a child I wasn't included in the family's photo either. Sad isn't it? I was depressed and embraced darkness as a friend. In fact I felt totally invincible. Even my mother denies me often. What a shame, I often wonder if she abducted me. But luck shines on me when I met her in college. She was the one who made the first approach and I'd commend her for that. It was bravery, I'd say. We were just friends. A special kind of friend. She was the only one that associated with a pauper like me, despite how classy she was. She always stood up for me, defended me and she was the reason I decided to live. She made life meaningful and I loved myself to an extent I do not see myself worthless anymore. Most times, people mistook us for lovers because we were always together. I like her as a friend, but then she confessed her actually feelings of being in love with me. I didn't want to hurt her feelings and had intentions of rejecting her, but then after my discovery that is the heiress of the most renounce company in the country. I decided to seize that opportunity and become hers. With her, everyone wants to relate with me. My name suddenly become a legacy in the family. Something I was proud of. Rather than being sad, I always end up smiling and granting their desire. I received praises everyday for being the richest among them, and I wasn't termed incapable anymore. My mother was proud of me, and my name became the first in the family book. Her money was worth the drama, I'm a billionaire now or probably was. Because Ravyen came to take my source of income. Although my decrease in wealth is not quite noticeable in the family yet. However, I must make Ravyen pay for that. I see what he is trying to do, to break me and make me beg at her feet. But that won't happen because I'm not willing to release what I took from her. She just has to accept the truth. What belongs to her, belongs to me! I do not want to go back to being the rejected son of the Walker's. Speaking of which, there were questions popping out that I couldn't find myself answering because it felt I was trapped in a vacuum. Ever since the incident that happened in my house, my mother's behavior was somehow cold towards me. I thought she never like that woman but then it seems she never wanted her to leave the house. As for Elena. She was just someone that's a part of me, someone whom i listen to and part of the reason i got married to Arianna. Everyone sees us as family but it was more than that, something I never imagined that would happen to me.
