Chapter 50: Ruined (1)
After breakfast, Selene met with Xavier at the carriage to head to her old family home then they would visit the graves.
Selene was seated beside Xavier since Agnes waited last to enter the carriage giving Xavier the chance to sit beside Selene.
"Have you planned how you will get them to hand over what is to be mine? A plan without violence," Selene said, knowing he intended to hurt someone today.
"A plan without violence is a silly plan. There is always a need for a little violence when we are dealing with greedy relatives. Did you visit them during the time you were married to that man?" Xavier asked, curious about how much Gabriel was able to help Selene.
"I did but it did not change anything. He wasn’t as he is now when we went to visit them but he managed to scare them off from approaching me. I don’t know what else they think I have. Did they want my mother’s brooch I took with me?" Selene wondered.
Her relatives had staked their claim to everything else. Why did they have to be so greedy to want even the clothes off of her back?
"I won’t stop you if you have to harm someone today. I just don’t want violence to be our only plan. They will greet you with open arms because of your status. At least we can be confident we will be welcomed inside. I think my aunt resides there now that my cousin has taken over. I hope they have not ruined it," Selene said, scared to see the inside.
"For everything they have ruined, I will ruin them. It is only fair. You will have good news to share with your parents that you have gotten the home back."
Selene was happy at least one of them was confident about this visit. She was lucky Xavier was here to fill the moments when she was nervous.
