Chapter 184 - For Revenge

Ellison nodded her head. "I'm that unfortunate girl who lost every kin of her in a single night." 

Finally, Persephone had real information about Lucian's death. He didn't kill Palmeros. He didn't betray his family. He was just a misunderstood character from beginning till end. If anything, Lucian Marino was a victim. 

She didn't know what Alessandro Marino achieved by portraying Lucian as a Villain but when he clearly was not the one. He was just an extraordinary human who had to pay the price for who he was. His own father got him killed because he held the power to replace him. This had to be a sick joke, right? 

But it was true. Lucian Marino died because he was a genius and knew something that he shouldn't.

Penelope Marino was killed because she knew about her husband's twisted relationship with her own brother.

But what Alessandro Marino hadn't expected even after planning the deaths of his wife and son was the explosives that Penelope had arranged before her death for his pyre. 

The chips inserted inside these necklaces held explosive-like information that would ruin Don Marino within seconds if leaked. From the heinous crimes he committed to his secret bases all over the world, each and every relevant information was stored in those chips.

Persephone smirked inwardly. She had a dire urge to ask her father - who would kill who now? 

She was feeling as if she held the power to pull the rug under his feet. Just thought was enough to make her giddy. 

Either she could submit those proofs to the FBI anonymously and wait for her father's destruction or she could send these to someone who badly wanted to screw her daddy dearest. And luckily, there wasn't just one person she knew who would not leave a chance to end the history of Don Marino, there were several. All more lethal than others. 

What else she hadn't anticipated was the surprise left by Lucian in the new chip she got from Killian.

Apparently, Lucian had accumulated proofs regarding Penelope and her sister Elena Moore's sister too. She also found out about Elena Moore had an affair with Edward Kingsly, Alessandro Marino's greatest nemesis. Not only this, she had a secret daughter with him too. And as if fate couldn't be more twisted, the girl's name was Isabelle Moore. 

Now, don't say it was a coincidence that the oddball named Isabelle in her life wasn't the same girl Lucian was hinting at. Lord knew how he got the information but if he did, it wouldn't be misleading.

She had heard that Nico's grandfather had affection for her aunt Elena, through the grapevine of course. She was one of the scandalous women like her, Ginevra and not to forget Isabelle. 

Nobody knew the end of Elena Moore. But it was heard that Edward Kingsly almost ruined himself and Alessandro when he received the news of his beloved death. 

Currently, she had to do nothing but send a small section of the information she owned right now regarding the death of Elena Moore and her secret daughter to Edward Kingsley. And let Edward Kingsley see the rest. 

Later, she would send some other helpful information to Salvatore anonymously and he could handle the demise of his father himself. 

As for Santiago… 

Since he was so obsessed with Lorenzo, just give him what he needs. 

She had enough of getting played. Now she would sit back and play all these badass privileged men and enjoy the game that was about to be started. 

There was nothing black and white in this world. Life was a game of getting played and playing with others. Since she had spent more than twenty five years of her life getting played by these assholes, she would now leave no stone unturned in playing with them. 

She just wanted a peaceful life with no chaos and violence. But for the sake of her baby, she had to step into the battlefield. 

Perhaps, a day would come when she would get the desired peace and freedom. 

However, for now, no more getting played. 

'Amen.'

…. 

"Are you with your husband for revenge?" Persephone asked her.

She wanted to know why Salvatore chose Alicia out of all the women in the world. That man was engaged to Emma when he had married Alicia and now 'publicly' married to Belle.

Lord knew which was his legal wife and which one was fake. She just wished that he knew what he was doing. 

Moreover, he got married to Isabelle when Emma won't him at the altar in quite a suspicious fashion. And why did Isabelle agree? Did Salvatore threaten her or was it one of his many great schemes? 

As curious as she was to know the truth behind Salvatore and Isabelle's very lowkey marriage, she knew she didn't have enough energy to digest all the information. And sometimes, some things were better not known or if they were known they might leave her sleepless for nights. Or her brain might crash with over information. 

And the most important question is why Salvatore married Alicia and does Alicia know who Salvatore was to Lucian? 

She could see that their marriage looked more real but who knew what was in their hearts. 

Alicia snorted at the idea. She was with Salvatore for anything but revenge. Of course, she loved the lavish lifestyle that Salvatore had given her after marriage. She was a girl who grew up in several foster homes after her guardian died. She had no money, no shelter and no food to eat. 

And when life gave her a chance to this comfortable life, she jumped to grab it. She wasn't ashamed to admit it. 

But it would be wrong to say that she didn't love her husband and was with him for ulterior motives. She loved Salvatore. Perhaps, she more than just loved him. He was an inseparable part of her. No matter how many times, she said in a fit of anger that she was gonna leave him, she knew too that it wasn't possible.. She couldn't leave without him and their daughter.
