The Heiress's Revenge - A Bloody Affair - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: [59 – As You Sow, So Shall You Reap]
After finishing the movie and once Caroline’s screams died down, Asher went to check upon her. He used the spare key that he had for Caroline’s room and opened the door slowly, careful enough to not make a noise just in case she was awake.

But she wasn’t.

Caroline was still asleep because of the drug that he had added into her food and wine. It would keep her asleep and trapped in the nightmare until it’s effects start fading away and there are no more traces of the said drug left in her system.

Asher found satisfaction in seeing his sister crying, sobbing, and writhing on the bed as if she were in immense pain. She deserved all this for all that she had done in her life. This was nothing but her punishment for all the crimes that she had committed in her life.

Her tears, her sobs were like a balm to his own wounds that his own sister had given him. Asher bend down slightly, tracing his finger along her sweat soaked face, “You might have forgotten what we learnt when we were kids, but I have not, Camille.”

“As you sow, so shall you reap.” Asher mumbled and pulled his hand back only to sit down beside her.

“I did not want to do this to you, Cami. You are my sister, my real, biological sister. But you left me with no choice!” he grabbed her hand in his as if providing her with some semblance of comfort in the nightmare that he himself had trapped her in.

“I have you so many chances, I covered up for you so many times but you, you kept on hurting people, hurting me for your own selfish reasons.” angry tears filled Asher’s eyes as he recalled all the crimes that his sister had taken part in, the sins that she had committed.

“How could you do all this? How could you not see that what you were and what have you become?” tears rolled down his cheek but Asher made no move to wipe them away, instead his hold on Caroline’s hand tightened as he continued.

“In your greed, your anger, and your ruthless ambition, you became a monster. Just like Dad and Mom.” Asher’s voice trembled as he spoke, his grip on Caroline’s hand growing tighter with each word that he said.

“I did not want you to be like them. I tried so much to protect you, to not let them teach you their ruthless and selfish ways, but I was not able to save you. I failed as a brother.” this would always be his biggest regret in life.

“I am sorry.” he apologized before wiping his tears, “But you turned out to be their daughter more than my sister. You forgot what it means to be a human, to feel empathy, and to care for others. All you cared about what you and for that you did not even hesitate to become the cruel monster that you are today.”

Asher’s demeanor shifted, his body stiffened and an iciness enveloped his aura, his eyes glinting with a vengeful gleam as he watched Caroline’s body shudder, her face contorting in the throes of her nightmare.

“Cami, I cannot forgive you for your involvement in what happened with Caroline. I cannot forgive you for what you did to me, to Liam. Just because you were young at Caroline’s time does not mean that you can be exempted from getting punished. A child would never hurt anybody like you did.” Asher let go of her hand and placed it back on the bed.

“And what happened with Liam and I, that is unforgiveable.” he tone held a deadly calmness that was extremely dangerous.

He stood up and walked to the door with silent footsteps. He was about to twist the doorknob to open the door but he paused and turned his head to look at Caroline, “This is what you have brought upon yourself. The only people who you can blame this for is you, and our parents.”

“You have rotten from inside, dear sister. There is nothing and no one who can save you now.” he said, his voice firm and tone venomous.

Meanwhile, Daniel was in his study, drinking whiskey glass after glass, while smoking a cigar. From the moment he had gotten to know about the news of Elijah dating some fashion designer, Daniel had been extremely anxious.

He could see all his plans failing just because of one girl but first he needed confirmation. He tried to ask his daughter first, but he had not seen Mia the whole day and she had just messaged him that she was going to spend the night out with her friends and told him to not worry if he wasn’t able to contact her because she was going on some impromptu camping trip.

But he was not worried about that. What worried Daniel more was that he could see Elijah slipping away from his hold. So he had called Marcus to confirm if what he saw in the news was true.

Marcus confirmed his worst fears with a tone that gave away how happy that bloody motherfucker was about this. Of course, he was happy, because this Seraphina Vale, the fashion designer that Elijah was dating was not only the owner of her own business but she was world wide famous for this.

Seraphina Vale, the self made multi millionaire was of course a good choice in Marcus’s eyes. He was for sure going to prefer this Seraphina over Daniel’s daughter Mia, that good for nothing girl who had just completed her post graduation last year and was not working anywhere or doing anything that could grab Marcus’s interest.

That is why he was so anxious because he could clearly imagine how his future was going to be. One day, sooner or later William and Marcus would throw him out and most definitely would kill him to make sure that their dirty secrets remain secrets.

Daniel lifted the cigar to his lips and inhaled deeply, releasing a thick cloud of smoke that swirled around him in the dim light. He needed to do something about this Seraphina. Marcus had told him that she was coming at the New Year’s party.

Daniel inhaled another puff before releasing another thick cloud of smoke. His lips curving up in a smirk as a nefarious plan crossed his mind.
