Husband you've abandoned me. Fine, I'll focus on raising my son - Chapter 303: A revenge plan

Chapter 303: A revenge plan

I took care of us and did the best I could. I tried everything to make her stop drinking and try and other things with her life but nothing ever worked. She just couldn’t forget about my father and apparently she loved him that much.

It was only the two of us. It was a lonely life. Unlike spending my time like other teenagers I spent my time mostly taking care of my mother.

Then one day i came home from school and found her completely immoble on that couch.

At first I thought she was just alseep that she would wake up soon enough. So I went about my day and went to my room to do my homework.

It was in the evening when I came down to make dinner that I noticed she didn’t stand up to stand up to use the bathroom or move at all.

I slowly approached her in the couch to pale, skinny figure. I checked her pulse and the truth became clear. She was dead.

I was 17 years old. The moment was blurry for me as I had a hard time processing what had just happened. I couldn’t believe. I remember screaming. Then pulling out my phone and calling for help.

I don’t know whether an hour or five minutes has passed before the police arrived.

The entire process of the police placing my mother’s body and taking her away was so unreal to me.

They then told me since my mother was gone I had to be in the custody of my father. I tried to refuse but they told me it was the law and that I had no choice. They told me he was going to come and get me soon.

That man, after years on him never coming to see my mother and I he was going to get me.

Days later my mother was buried and my father did not show up.

It was two days later when he came to my mothers house. The home he had bought so long ago for her.

“Kolton, is it?” my father asked.

I shook my head in disbleief. He didn’t even remember my name.

“Yes it is,” I said. I smiled in his face but I really wanted to slap him.

Beside him was a young woman looked to be in her mid twenties. She held onto his arm and i realized this was his girlfriend.

“I’m sorry about what happened to your mother,” he said.

He sounded. so cold, so distant. He had no idea it was his fault that my mother died.

“I’m not sure you remember me but I am your father,” he told me. “Due to your mother’s death I am now your sole legal guardian. So you will be coming with me and staying with me.”

I moved in with my father temporarily. I met my half-brother Keith for the first time. It was an awkward meeting but we were cordial. At least i pretended to be. He was 2 years older than me. I was then for just under a year i went to university. I hated every second of it.

Living with the man who had ruined my life. Who had killed my mum essentially. He was hardly ever around. He was constantly busy working or with other women. The two things he cared for most his company and women. His focus was also more on Keith whom he was going to make his heir to the Acland group.

I pretended to be polite and happy with the situation. But I was observing them and watching their every move. I wanted to know their secrets and their weaknesses.

After my mothers death, I swore I would get my revenge. I would take everything from you father and you would know the pain I lived my entire life. I would make it my life’s mission. No matter how long it took i would make you pay.

After i graduated from college, my father offered me a role at one of the subsiduary companies. I accepted. I could make some decent money whilst watching them.

I had decided that I wanted to take the whole Acland group from my father. If I wanted to do I would need to carefully observe them and make my plan. The only problem was I couldn’t learn much about them from the subsiduary which was far from Yorshire city. I needed intel on the Acland group. I needed to be close to them without being too close.

A promising opportunity came I found out Keith was getting married. However, not to the girfriend I knew he had when I briefly lived with them. I went to see her and that when the begining phases of my plan came together.

BACK TO PRESENT

I finished off at the office. I still had to appear and clock in at work and appear normal. That has always been the essence of my plan. Stay far from the situation whilst calmly pulling the strings.

Things were supposed to be smoth sailing for another 8 years until Marco turned 18. If only Jasmine hadn’t intervened.

I thought she was a quiet unassuming woman in an unfortunate situation sinc Keith didn’t love her. I thought my plan with Diana would work brilliantly since Keith still had feelings for Diana. Jasmine would get divorced and be away from Keith. I would have her quietly killed off and then handle her son soon after.

This was supposed to be easy and laid back.

My memory went back to when i was child seeing my mother despair over my father. Now the whole plan was unravelling how was this happening?

********

I felt irritated at how I should be with my lawyers in person right now instead of looking for Jasmine. I’m doing this for our son and you choose to be so reckless! I approved for the lawyers to finalise the papers and I would see them by t
