The Lawyer carefully took his seat as we sat there watching him, cautious of his every move. There was a moment of complete and utter silence. I could here every sound in the room, like the warm summer breeze hitting off the window blinds, and the sound of the birds chanting outside on that fine summer morning. Suddenly, the lawyer, after clearing his throat, finally began speaking.
"Hello everyone. As you know, Julius Barrett was a truly admirable and inspiration man, and it is such a shame that he had to leave us at the age of 43. But, without further ado, I will finally begin reading his Last Will and Testament...... 45% of the shares in his company, and his summer residence in Brighton and in Barcelona will go to his only son, Jack Mason."
Jack smiled in relief. He never really had a good relationship with his father as he divorced his mother before he was even born, hence why he took his mother's surname 'Mason.'
The next minute consisted of an awkward silence, as the Lawyer continued to read through my husbands will, examining it very carefully with an intrigued look upon his face. Almost as if something wasn't in place.
"As for the rest of Mr. Barrett's shares in the company, money, and all of his residences' throughout the country as well as his Ski Resort in France and his other residence in Sydney and Brussels, will be passed on to his wife, Maria Cecilia Barrett."
The Lawyer looked as me. I smiled. Joy was filling up my body. I couldn't help but shed a tear. After all of the pain that was handed over to me by my enemies, and those who brought darkness and sorrow to fill my heart, I will now be able to give them a taste of my revenge. Julius was a cruel husband. He always treated me badly, and as demented as I am for saying this, death was the best thing that could have happened to him. He was a cruel person both inside and out, but other than that, he had cancer. The disease was causing him so much pain, he was better off dead than living. But I will be forever grateful for the things in which I am about to inherit because of him. I will finally get to be the person I've always wanted to be. But not just that, I will finally be able to give the death of family justice and righteousness. They did not just die, they were killed. Killed by the people who I consider my life long enemies, and when I discovered the shocking news of the death of my little brother Zander, I held them responsible for his death. I remember storming into their residence one day, with tears flowing down my cheeks. Before I was forced to leave, I said, loud and clear-
"You may be on top now. You may have it all, you may have the perfect family, and nothing could possibly ruin your moment, not even me. You have hurt me on several occasions, but if only you killed me, that would have been much better. But once you hurt my family, you cross the line. I'm telling you this, you may be above me now, but there will come a day where the situation will be vice versa. You will get a taste of my revenge, and all of that pain and anger you brought to my life,It was come right back to you. I will not stop until I get justice and righteousness for all the pain you brought to my life! I promise!....."
What was their reaction? They laughed right in my face. But now, everything is finally happening. I am a person who always lives up to their promises, and that remains accurate to this very day. All of the scars they've given me, I can finally give back to them.
My name Cecelia, Maria Cecelia Barrett. This is the story of how one family ruined my life, and turned me from an innocent young girl, into the evil, vengeful woman I am today, who has a heart filled with hatred and pain. But before I tell you the rest of my story, lets go back to square one..... Where it all began........
