Chapter 244: Grave mistake (2)
In the dead of night, when all the servants were busy cleaning the Valor home, Cassandra snuck down to the kitchen to grab a knife.
She had waited for the church to make its move to get rid of all the vampires in town, but it was taking too long. She sent the church her plans to kill Gabriel in hopes that they would come to their senses and join her in killing the vampires.
Whether they came tonight or not did not matter to Cassandra. It was long overdue that Gabriel died.
Now that Gabriel was leading the town guards, Cassandra thought she had every right to kill him so he would be out of the church’s path. Then she could be the lady of this house which was promised to her for all her hard work.
Cassandra stared at the butcher knife, which was all she had at the moment. Once she was done here, Cassandra intended to go to Bryce next.
Bryce knew many of the church’s secrets, yet he kept them from her and allowed her to agree to the plan to become Gabriel’s wife without any protection.
Cassandra slipped the knife into the sleeve of her dress. It didn’t matter if the servants saw her put it there since she would disappear tonight to then later return when the war was over to claim this home.
Cassandra made her way up to the room Gabriel had decided to sleep in. She knew he purposely picked the room to annoy her since it once belonged to Selene.
"Gabriel," she called out to him, knocking on the door.
When Cassandra didn’t get an answer, she opened the door, letting herself in and then closed it behind her.
Gabriel was fast asleep on the bed, wearing the same clothes she last saw him in. There were papers spread out all over the floor and bed.
