Revenge On The Scumbags

************************************

THE TUCKER FAMILY MANSION

Robert walked inside his room angrily with Sofia trailing slowly behind him while carrying his suitcase. She noticed that he wasn’t in a good mood so she made sure to keep her distance.

Robert lifted a vase from the table and smashed it on the wall angrily. A shard pierced his leg but he didn’t care. The anger in him was greater than any pain he was passing through.

“What’s wrong Robert?” Sofia asked when her curiousity had become heightened.

“What isn’t wrong?? Huh?? How come they all turned against me like this after everything I did for them??” Robert asked.

Sofia stared at him in confusion. What is he talking about??

“Even my own mother. How could she turn on me like that??” Robert asked again while holding his head in frustration and anger.

“What’s wrong Robert? What’s the meaning of all you’re saying?” Sofia asked soothingly as she placed her hands on his shoulder, comforting him.

“Our plans has turned against us.” Robert said.

“Can you explain it better to me? I don’t understand if you say it like that.” Sofia said.

“My mother left all her shares for Rosalie.” Robert broke the bombshell.

“What?? How could she do that??” Sofia asked with bulging eyes.

“How am I supposed to know that?? I didn’t even know till I got to the company today. They even want to dismiss me as the CEO.” Robert said again, his voice was laced with anger.

“No, that can’t happen. That would spell doom for us.” Sofia muttered walking to and fro.

“You think I don’t know that?? Rosalie would stop at nothing till she destroys me so this is just the beginning.” Robert said.

“What if they had planned this beforehand? What if she bribed them to lie and say all those shares are now under her name?” Sofia asked thoughtfully.

“I once had that thought but she didn’t lie. Grandma Patricia really transfered her shares to her.” Robert muttered as he plunked down tiredly on the chair.

“How sure are you??” Sofia asked as she sat next to him.

“Well, I saw the documents, they weren’t forged and Grandma Patricia’s signature was written boldly on the document. Same as hers.” Robert said.

“But why would she do that?? You are her only son, her heir. Why would she dump you like that?” Sofia asked.

“How am I supposed to know?? Grandma Patricia is really unpredictable. Besides, haven’t you noticed how she always favoured Rosalie more than any one else in this house??” Robert asked.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“But still….”

“Leave it as it is. We’ve lost already. Let’s just wait until Rosalie cones and take everything from us. Besides, it was hers in the first place.” Robert said and bowed his head sadly.

“So, you’re just going to give up?? After everything we did to get to this spot??” Sofia asked in anger and disappointment.

“What would you have me do?? Yes, I know that I made decisions, decisions that I haunt me every day just to get here but they meant nothing. Rosalie still won. So, leave me be woman.” Robert said angrily.

“You are just scared to make more sacrifices.” Sofia muttered.

“What nonsense are you sprouting from your mouth?? Scared?? Do you have any idea of what I had passed through all because of the stupid ideas you gave me, the things you made me do??” Robert asked angrily.

“I didn’t force you to do it. You were always greedy for more power, that’s what led you to your downfall. You wanna blame now right? Please do, just know thar I didn’t hold your hands to murder those people. You just wanted a validation from me. And now, you want to blane me?? You are a coward Robert.” Sofia said angrily.

“What did you just call me??” Robert asked turning to face her with red eyes.

“I said you are a big COWARD!!!!!” Sofia said at the top of her voice.

“How dare you!!” Robert growled and gripped her tightly on her neck and held her against the wall.

“Stop it…” She pleaded as she tried to break out of his hold on her but he was too strong.

“After everything I did for you. You dare call me a coward??” He asked gripping her neck tighter.

“I… I… can… can’t… breathe….” Sofia choked out but he didn’t listen. Her eyes were already teary and red.

It was like something else had taken over him. Like he was possessed. He continued choking her even after she had stopped struggling with him.

He finally let her go when his hands started to hurt. When he removed his hands from her, her body fell freely on the ground. He turned around to back her.

“You know how much I hate being called a coward??” He asked but didn’t hear any word from her.

“But instead of knowing your place, you keep testing my patience.” He said again but she didn’t answer.

He was slowly getting impatient so he turned towards her and kicked her hard on her chest.

“Answer me when I’m talking to you.” He said angrily but she didn’t budge.

She just lied on the floor like she was dead.

“Sofia??” Robert called and used his legs to hit her lightly but she didn’t budge.

“Sofia..” He called again, but this time, he was slowly getting scared.

“I don’t have time to play games with you so just open your eyes.” He muttered but still didn’t get any reaction from her.

He bent down shakily to check her heartbeat. A scream nearly escaped from his mouth when he didn’t hear any. Realization dawned on him so, he stood up shakily.

“Not again… not again…” He muttered as he held his hair in frustration.

“She’s dead too… she’s dead. How can this happen?? I just held her neck for a little while.” He muttered as he walked to and fro.

“What should I do? I can’t Iet anybody see her dead body.” Robert said shakily.

He suddenly stopped and walked towards Sofia’s dead body. He lifted her and placed her on the bed. Then, he wrapped some bed sheets around her body.

“I’m so sorry. But it’s all your fault, you made me do this. You pushed me to do this.” Robert muttered.

He then lifted up her limp body and placed her under his bed so no one would see her.

After that, he changed his bloody clothes that were stained from the cut on his leg to a set of new ones.

Then, he called a maid to clean up the broken vase in the floor. The maid did so in no time and left.

After that, he sat down on his bed and soliquized;

“I’ll just get rid of her body by nightfall and lie that she went for a vacation so no one will notice her dead body and absence.”
