Rose’s pov

“what?” I asked in shock,

“you knew?” My lips trembled, I trusted him, all that care and comfort was just a pretense?

“was this all another one of your sick plan?” I asked looking at both of them,

“no I didn’t but I heard how my own sister deceived me” xavin Said looking at Irina with hurt and remorse,

“oh come on stop being such a drama queen” Irina rolled her eyes  “it was all for our betterment” she added.

Xavin scoffed and looked at her in bewilderment and slapped her,

“whose better? Who gained what from all this?” he asked in anger and ridicule, while I just stood there soaking in their ignorance, they destroyed lives, multiple lives, killed, raped torture and now talk about it as if it’s just a trivial mix up, he acted as if his little sister shop lifted or something.

“our gain, all we did was gain, I brainwashed dad into killing his damiens dad so WE could become the mafia head, it failed, damien became the head so I married him for power, you became his second in command but gained more authority being his brother in law” Irina was furious,

“what about her, about knights? You tortured the whole family cuz you were obsessed with a man” xavin screamed at her, and i felt bile rising up my throat, they were talking about me and my family as if we were just objects that they damaged by mistake, it was burning me from within.

“okay fine I accept that I went overboard with the knights it was unnecessary but you know me I don’t let people off the hook that easily but we did  get all their wealth?” Irina pointed out shrugging her shoulder and xavin huffed I’m disappointed and shook his head,

“come my sweet lets go” he said grabbing my hand and I scoffed,

“what? You are not going to do anything about this?” I snapped at him and he glared at me,

“we will talk about this later, when you calm down a bit, now don’t be difficult let’s go” he ordered and I glared at him back, taking him by surprise,

“let’s.go” he hissed grabbing my arm and all my boldness vanished, all the punishments flashed lnfront of my eyes and my legs followed his order on its own accord, I was feeling so many things I just don't know which one to acknowledge first, my insides twisted and turned in rage, the more I tried to convince myself to not do anything stupid the more I wasn't able to because the way they talked about us just kept repeating in my head,

"Rose?" xavin cupped my face and i slapped his hand away,

"my heart, my life I was unaware of the fact that your parents weren't guilty" he explained desperately and I scoffed shooting him a glare,

"oh shoot what a blunder, oopsies" I seethed with sarcasm, I don't know what happened to me، where this courage was coming from, but something in me broke the moment I heard everything Irina said, I feel like I've had enough of this bullshit, we didn't deserve this, no one did,

"just forget all this, what's done is done, let's leave all this, let's make our own little world somewhere far away from this toxicity" I panted in anxiety and fury,

how could he be so full of himself?
they truly don't see anyone besides themselves,
they are incapable of humaity, let alone empathy.

"Get out" I snapped his ignorance choking me cutting of my air supply,

"Rose.... I get that you are angry but behave yourself" he said with a stern voice demanding obedience and I stood up from my Seat boring My gaze into his,

"Get the fuck out or I'll do something to myself" I said through gritted teeth, and he sighed standing still before finally leaving,

I locked myself in the bedroom, I refused to let anyone in, my baby ethan, how tiny he was, I cried, they took everything from us, they erased knights from face of earth, for what?, I was living in a cage, I was happy, I was protected, I was cared for, we were enough for each other, and just like end of the world, like an apocalypse everything turned upside down one night, and it kept getting worse and worse, one calamity after another, My world shattered and ended, for what? because one mentally ill, obsessed woman couldn't handle rejection? I remembered Alex and the pain in my heart increased 10 folds, what a glorious man he was, strutting around in all his manly beauty, so tall and handsome, making young girls breath hitch in their throats, I remembered all my brothers, so full of lifr, happy, and healthy, and its all gone, they died cause daddys little princess coukdbt get what she wanted, ethi is sufferring a fate worse than death, and dad is as good as dead, all of this for what? because of what? a plague, she is a plague, I've never wanted to kill anyone so badly as much as I've want to kill irina, to say that she ruined my life our lives would be an understatement, I don't care what happens but she will have to pay for it, with interest.

"Rose, please Rose its been 3 days please eat something" xavin pleaded and I slapped the plate away from his eyes without breaking eye contact,

"you have some nerve to stand here and act as if you are innocent, I am shocked that you can even look me in the eyes"

"Rose, what's done is done, what do you want now?" he snapped in irritation.

"you guys had yours, I want my revenge now"
