Secrets of the Solomons

10. Andros:

*4th August,2023*

After a long time, I was able to see Fiona again. Her last order was to move some evidence somewhere else. It was hard to communicate with her, so I made a guard smuggle on the phone so we could coordinate our plan more effectively.

The phone was a flip phone that could not be detected.

When I went to the prison visiting room, Fiona walked in. My heart dropped. Fiona had bruises on her beautiful face. Her hand was bruised, and she was slightly limping.

She must've seen my shocked face and just gave me a small, reassuring smile. The shock was quickly replaced by anger. I didn't yell at her or ask for an explanation. Her eyes told me everything I needed to know. An assassination attempt.

"You look hurt," I whispered to her, trying to keep my voice steady. Fiona nodded slightly, her eyes filled with determination. "We need to act fast," she replied quietly.

"Tell me what I need to do. I'll do everything you want me to do. Everything. Just tell me."

Fiona took a deep breath before speaking, her voice barely above a whisper. "I need you to turn my family members, who are in the fight for succession, against each other. Divide and conquer. It's the only way to ensure our safety and success. Create chaos within the ranks so they are too preoccupied to focus on me."

I nodded. "Give me a name."

She looked puzzled, "Name of who?"

I took a deep breath to calm myself down. "Don't pretend you don't know. I know who to turn against whom. I need the name of the person who put the hit on you. And the name of the assassins."

She hesitated for a moment before whispering, " My father. The assassins were a gang inside the prison who did the hitman work."

"I'm going to kill him with my bare hands, Fiona." I clenched my fists, feeling the rage boiling inside me. "And those assassins will pay for what they did," I vowed, my voice filled with determination. Fiona's eyes widened in surprise at my sudden shift in demeanor.

"You can kill the assassins. But not my father."

I could feel my veins popping out of anger as I stared at her, knowing that justice needed to be served. "I will make sure they all face the consequences of their actions," I declared firmly, my resolve unwavering.

"I want to do this strategically. Right after everyone in my family starts killing everyone in the fight for the position of heir, I will use my father as a scapegoat to get out of prison and clear my name."

My anger still didn't fade. Why couldn't we just end him? "Elaborate."

She sighed before speaking. "I'll use deep fake videos to show that my father tried to frame me for his attempted murder. Get him in jail and make sure he gets the death penalty. I'll also ensure that all evidence points to him as the mastermind behind the family's internal conflicts," she added, my mind already forming a plan for revenge. "This way, justice will be served, and I won't have any obstacles."

"I'll also leak the information to the media to ensure his reputation is ruined beyond repair," she continued a cold determination in her eyes. "He will pay, they all will."

I nodded. That was the better way. "When do I set this plan in motion?"

"As soon as they're dead." "Once they're gone, we can start framing him for their murders," she said with a chilling smile. "It's time to make them pay for what they've done."

"And then you'll get with me, won't you?" I said it with a smug smile. She wasn't mine yet. But that didn't mean she wasn't going to be mine. "I'll consider it," she replied, her eyes glinting with a hint of mischief. "But first, we have work to do." With a shared nod, we both knew that our plan for revenge was only just beginning.

As soon as I left the visiting room, I made a quick call to the warden. Soon the name of some female prisoners dying in a gang fight would be on the news.

Now all I have to do is turn the family members against each other. Anything for my Fiona. I knew I had to be careful with my next move, as one wrong step could ruin everything. But I was willing to do whatever it took to make sure Fiona was mine, no matter the consequences.
