Chapter 147: Plans (2)
"I want that wedding in three weeks as I planned so I can get out of this lousy town. I will have any fool who gets in my way killed. Who is holding a party Rafael has received an invitation to?" Travis asked.
"He has received invitations to almost all of the parties, but it is a matter of if he will attend. He doesn’t like to attend parties. It is only your sister who might show up to a few of them,’ Solomon answered.
"She has failed to teach that boy how to socialise. There will be much for me to teach my nephew. My sister has forgotten all that my parents paid to have her be a lady ever since she mixed with that man. I have always thought that you become what you stick around and she has lost her class. Find out what party he will be attending. I will meet him there since all of a sudden his gates are closed off to everyone," Travis said, staring at the ruined portrait of his sister.
She could have had so much more if she had just listened. Now she had to deal with his anger because of her past decisions when she was young and foolish.
Travis disliked how his father and mother were starting to speak of wanting to welcome her back with her husband. It was only Rafael that he was willing to take and accept as a Norman. His sister had hell to pay for embarrassing the family name. For embarrassing him and having him miss out on a good deal.
For what Beatrice put the family through, it was only fair that she backed down and gave up her son to him. It was also only fair that she was not given the money owed to and it would go into his hands to make up for some of what he lost.
"Prepare a room for her in a madhouse. As soon as I am finished having my fun, I want her inside of there, locked away and the key to her room given to me. Find me another portrait of my sister. This one has lost its touch. Or maybe, I should have her standing there," Travis smiled, imagining her shaking before him as the knives were thrown.
Beatrice had herself to blame for how cruel he became toward her. As his sister, she saw his good side especially because he always planned to use her marriage for his benefit, but she was the one to crumble all of that. She was the one to ruin the good sibling relationship they had by loving an orphan. It was her fault that he had to play a few tricks to get her back in line.
It was also her fault that seeing her panic and gasping for air made him want to torture her so much more. There was nothing more exciting than having your sister on the verge of passing out and their parents knew nothing about it.
Travis missed having her so terrified of him and then when she tried to speak up to their father, he would always be there to scare her again. It was the best way to keep her from acting out, but it seemed he had gone easy on her since she ran away in the middle of the night. This time, he would have her fixed.
Mack didn’t think it was a good idea to mess with Beatrice when Travis wanted Rafael to listen to him. "Wouldn’t it be best to pretend like you want to make up with your sister? Perhaps apologise for the things you did? I heard-"
