Unattainable Perfection - Episode 17

***** ALEXA'S POV

"Okay enough! That's enough!"

Mr Dante screams silencing the two teenagers and I'm still rooted to the same spot, unable to process everything I've just heard.

My father? Had children out of wedlock? Cheated on my mother and had kids? And he hid it from every one of us? And he had the audacity to marry his lover barely a year after mom died and introduced his own sons to me as my stepbrothers? How cruel! How cunning! Did mother ever find out? Did she ever know dad was cheating and even had full grown kids outside wedlock? Was that why they began to have constant quarrels few weeks before her death? No, I shake my head.

I refuse to believe that mom knew anything.

It would have been extremely devastating for her.

Even if she knew,my brain will like to think she knew nothing about my dad's horrible betrayal.

"Are you listening Alexandra?!!!!"

Marcus was the next one to yell, bringing me out of my reverie.

I clench my fists in anger, desperately wanting to unleash my anger and he was fueling it the more.

"I said there's going to be a bloody war if we don't get what's rightfully ours and...."

Okay that's it.

"Now listen here you little f*cker!"

I take a step towards him,pointing my index finger at him.

I've had enough of their bullsh*t, fighting and declaring war over money that they didn't work sh*t for.

"I do not give a damn if you're my brothers. what's done is done

. My father worked for his money and not a single dime belongs to any of you because you didn't work for sh*t. Everything belonged to him and he had every right to do whatever he wanted with it. He could have given all his wealth to charity or some orphanage and no one still has the right to utter a single word. You want money, fine. When you turn eighteen, you can go and look for a job, work, earn your own money to fight over. But for now,I've been given authority over you. I'm your guardian until you turn eighteen and you'll listen to whatever I say because in the eyes of the law you're just minors. So you either shut your mouth and take whatever you got in good faith and develop on it so you can gain profit from your shares,or you both can go f*ck yourselves!"

I spit in anger. Who the f*ck do they think they are to undermine my father's last wish.

I turn to the lawyer who's mouth had dropped open at my outburst.

"Thank you for everything Mr Dante. I'll meet up with you to discuss and finalise everything"

I say as calmy as I can and he nods.

"Sure. I'll make arrangements to get you a personal chauffeur since you don't like to drive and you can use any car of your choice. The same goes for both of you"

he gestures to three of us and I nod In agreement. I could really use a personal chauffeur.

"Alright then. I'll begin with the search. I'll take my leave Now. Goodbye" he turns to leave

"Bye"

I also turn and make my way upstairs not bothering to glance at the twins who have miraculously been quiet.

Entering my room, I lock the door and jump onto my bed, closing my eyes as sleep takes over instantly.. That's how tired I am.

And hungry.

And raging mad.

****

TWO HOURS LATER.

WILLIAMS POV

"What?!!"

I yell.

Ask me why am yelling on my first day as a free man.

Well I'll tell you.

Somehow, miraculously and creepy if you ask me, David managed to find out where I live and he's asking me to do the most ridiculous thing ever.

Yep David. He was released from jail a month ago after serving his four year term.

And how he found out where I live, I've got no idea I stare at him like he just grew horns.

"No. No way Dave! How can you ask me to go to that interview. Besides how did you know they're holding an interview?"

"Well Im still friends with the maids there And well I just called and asked them. So you better get going before they hire someone else"

"No. I'm not going to interview for a job to be Alexa's personal driver. Never,you hear me?"

I shake my head

"Think about it. Being her personal driver is the easiest way to get access to every information in that house to get our revenge plans rolling. Besides you'll be paid, a lot. And I'm sure you need money to support your mother and your education as well. We both know you need the money. And trust me, that job pays a lot and you'll be having your revenge. Our revenge from the Wallace's. We'll be killing two birds with one stone. Think about it. See you later man"

he taps my shoulder and walks away,leaving me thinking. Thinking about the possibility of working for Alexandra Wallace. And I think I already know what my answer is.

****

The twins were pacing anxiously in Marcus's bedroom, annoyed, angry, irritated at how Alexandra had prided herself in commanding her power over them as their guardian.

F*ck. "We can't let this happen Fraser.

We can't. Something has to be done.

She's taking everything sway from us"

Marcus stops pacing, chewing his lips In irritation.

"Yes. The f*ck! How dare she? And to think..."

He was cut off by the ringing of his phone.

Fishing out for his phone,he smiles at the caller.

Answering the call,he places it on loud speaker.

"Hello boys" the cheery female voice says

"Hey mom"

they answer simultaneously.

"How are things over there?"

"Bad mom. The Will was read today and Alexandra got seventy percent of everything and the thirty to us. She has even been made our guardian meaning we can't do anything without her permission. Please come back from wherever you're mom. We miss you"

Fraser pouts. There was silence at the end of the line and when Alice spoke again,her voice was murderous.

"You. said. Alexa. Got seventy. percent. Of. The. Inheritance?!"

She growls.

"Yes mom. Seventy! Can you imagine?!"

He flares up.

There was more silence, almost as if she was trying to come to terms with what she had just heard.

Anyone could literally feel the anger radiating off her through her phone.

She was infuriated, mad.

Beyond mad.

If someone was near her she'd probably waste no time in snapping their damn neck! No wonder! No wonder anytime she had forged Henry's signature and tried to withdraw money from the bank,she was always turned down and so she had to stop else they'll call the police on her with the claim that she was trying to withdraw money which was clearly not hers.

Yet,she had successfully withdrew money to pay for her plastic surgery.

But now?! If Henry's signature was no longer valid and accepted in banks,then it meant one thing.. It meant Henry no longer had the power of attorney and the person who held that power.

That power to sign business deals and issue bank withdrawals was none other than the b*tch Alexandra! But he? How did this all happen if Henry is dead? How? Or he had this planned out with his lawyer after Alexa sent him to the hospital? F*ck!. She should have known.

She should have known Henry will pull such a stunt.

He was too smart for his own good.

Yet there she was busily trying to escape from the stupid police when in fact she should have been taking what's rightfully hers. Damn him! Damn the police! Damn Alexa!

"I told you didn't I? I told you Alexa is not the innocent girl she makes everyone believes. Now that she's taken everything away from you, you believe me now?"

"Yes mom. We're sorry we didn't believe you"

they both answer spitefully.

"I told you I was innocent yet I had to run and hide. I didn't kill that doctor. You know I'm not capable of that. It was all Alexa's doing. She set me up. Your mama is innocent boys and you have to help me get back into the mansion. Please boys"

she lies through her teeth, shedding crocodile tears.

"We'll help you mom. We will. We'll make Alexandra pay for hurting you and making you look like a criminal. Trust us mother"

Fraser says determinedly

"Are you sure you'll help me?"

"Trust us"

"Okay then. I'll send you a location. You have to go there. It's a shop. Tell whoever you meet in the shop that I sent you. They'll give you something. It's a tracking device. You plant it on Alexa so that we'll know her day to day activities before we strike, got it boys?"

Silence.

They were hesitating, Alice could sense it.

She had to do something before they change their damn minds.

So she begins her emotional blackmail, shedding crocodile tears.

"I knew you won't help me. I can't even count on my own sons. Alexandra is the only one to Blame for everything. She's the reason your mama isn't with you. She's the reason I've had to hide for a year now because the police are looking for me. She set me up. You both know I didn't kill anyone. Alexa hates me which is why she set me up. She stripped you off your rights to the inheritance. Henry had shown me the real Will he made and the one that was read today was a fake. I have the original Will, your father gave you sixty percent and forty to Alexa. Do you see my sons, she is reason for our suffering. She's the reason"

she lies.

. Both boys fume in anger.

"Don't say that mom. We believe you. We.... We'll help you."

Fraser says glancing at his brother who nods his approval.

"We'll go and get the tracking device. Mr Dante is searching for a personal chauffeur for her so we can plant the tracking device on the car, that way it'll be easier to know where she goes. Is that okay mom?"

Alice grins. Perfect! Like mother like sons.

"Perfect Fraser. Perfect!"

"Is that all mother?"

Marcus questions this time.

"No. I have a bigger plan. But first you boys need to find a way to give me access into the house. Now, here's the real plan....."

"First of all..."

Alice smirks as she continues to lay out her plan to her sons.
