Heir to the Throne

Chapter 31 "Plan"

Atalia's pov

Gusty winds blow through my hair as my skin is almost numb from how cold it is. For a couple of days , I've been keeping a close eye on the Castillo household. It's hard to see further as it's a well gated home. However, to just learn the routine of a few individuals Graudyn has described to me this distance is enough. There has been a few times I wanted to just take a chance to let them know what I've been threatened to do. Hoping they can perhaps help me too, but fear stops me. I keep remembering those eyes I adored so much and the words that came out from the mouth I once kissed with so much passion. The very same eyes and mouth that threatened my life as well.

Why do women like me always lose the man at the end? We knew them first and devoted ourselves to them first. Why is it so easy for whores that come out of nowhere to just take the men we love away from us. My jaw clenches at the memory of how this happened to my mother with my father. A father I never knew because he left us for a whore. Now here I am enduring the same as my poor mother did. Another memory presents itself into my mind that brings so much rage within me.

Amoret.

The whore that took the man I love away from me. I tried so hard over the years to perhaps help him learn to love me one day. I never gave up on the possibility, but with that Russian whore coming into his life. It ruined everything and left me heartbroken. I lost him. The way he picked her over me and threw me away hurt. Witnessing the way he looks at her to how he protects her hurts. Knowing his hands and body touches her and not mine hurts. His mouth no longer on me hurts. However, what hurts more out of everything was the way his eyes glared at me as his words shattered my heart into a million pieces. I knew he meant every word. I knew he would end me and get rid of me like I never existed.

All for her.

In a way, despite the fear I have of being caught by the Castillos. I want my revenge. Why should I lose him and just leave it like that? Take the loss and move forward seems so unfair. With Amoret out of the way, perhaps I can have a chance. I know I sound so pathetic and even delusional, but the love I have for him is too much to just leave like that.

The sound of the gates opening breaks me away from the thoughts that truly have my heart and mind in such a spiraling conflict. The brunette haired Russian drives out of the driveway at the same time she usually does for the past days I've been watching. This is the time she leaves to go to the gym. The gym I've been to many times just watching her from afar.

"She has left," I say on the phone.

"Good girl. Now go pay the homeless," Graudyn instructs me before he hangs up to get everything ready. I do the same hurrying up into my car to make my way. Everything is set on a strict time frame, so any kind of mess up is prohibited.

Finishing up my last steps on the stairs I take in a deep breathe completely exhausted. Taking a sip of my water bottle I get off from the machine stepping firmly on the ground. I see the time on my watch noticing I have little time to get ready for my brunch with Amoret. I head out the door walking towards my car. However, a cry is heard not so far from me. I turn my head and see a woman. She's in dirty ripped clothes and a messy bun. She's standing with her face cupped within her hands whimpering.

"Hey is everything alright?," I utter as I start making slow movements towards her.

"My children are," she mumbles as she continues to cry. Instantly, my heart drops fearing what may have happened to her children. I get close as I put my hand on her back trying to comfort her.

"They are? Where are they?," I ask concernedly.

She looks up at me exposing her blue eyes. My brows crease confusedly as I notice there's not one trace of tears on this woman. As soon as I realized this was all an act. I feel a heavy hit on the back of my head completely causing my world to go black.

I watch as Graudyn carries the Russian woman's limp body into the vehicle he stole. He puts her body inside the trunk immediately closing it.

"Am I done here?," I murmur.

"Yes" Graudyn says as he turns around completely catching me off guard. He's pointing a gun at me as I completely freeze. I'm unable to speak completely confused about it all.

"But I-I did everything you asked of me," I mumble nervously.

"You're a loose end. Can't risk it," he coldly says.

"Please, I promise to not say anything. I'll leave far away," I cry in panic.

Just as I was about to scream for help. Graudyn pulls the trigger as my life flashes before my eyes no longer existing on earth.
