Chapter 36

Pheobes POV.

The rain hit hard against the windows rattling the latches with their ferocious anger. The thunder cracked loudly sending a bright, blue strike of lightning flashing out side blinking through the closed drapings.

| paced the length of my father’s townhouse drawing room in absolute anger and helplessness. Two things that | hated to feel. | couldn’t begin to fathom how | had landed myself in such a situation after all my years of hard work and effort to keep things under my control and run the course that | willed it to.

Another cra ck of lightening clashed loud enough for me to feel it reverberate through my bones. The harsh weather outside mimicked my inner feelings to the T.

Who the hell did Dante think he was? He could not just throw me out of his life on a whim and 1 would see to it that he isn’t successful. | had only left his home temporarily to give him a sense of false victory but | would be back, digging myself firmly in to his life until | extracted as much of his wealth as | had intended on doing.

If any one was to be blamed for this mess it was Sophia. That bit ch thought that she could out smart me by telling Dante the truth about who had saved him when we were younger. As if that mattered to any one but her. She was growing too bold for her place, too c unning like a bird whose wings were growing too big and in need of a good cl*pping.

| should have ended her when | had the chance but Sophia proved to be tougher than | thought like a c ockroach that refused to be killed by even the harshest of chemicals.

Dante really thought that he could toss me aside for her but he forgets that it was | who made him remove Sophia from his life with great ease and | could do it again just as easily. | just needed to figure out a way to get him where | wanted him with leverage so good that he has no choice but to give in to my demands.

Felix shifted in the settee that he had been lounging in sipping on a glass of scotch neat like he had no care in the world. He, too, had failed to carry out a single simple task correctly and for that reason Sophia walks healthily at present and not lay drowned and lifeless at the bottom of that da mn lake.

His return had caught me off guard with how untimely it was but it only placed a lot more pressure on me to see my plans through. | thought | had plenty of time to do what | needed to but with Felix out of prison and out and about again, it changed a lot of things. The leisure to take things slowly. and at an easy pace no longer existed.

“You've walked a trail in to that carpet, Phoebe. Come, sit by me and enjoy a drink to relax.” Felix called over his glass causing me to pause in my path and glance at how calm he seemed to be sipping on his drink while | was here scheming for our future. “How can you be so calm, Felix? Do you not see the gravity of the situation?! If | cannot figure out a way to get back in to Dante Crawford's life then out entire plans together are impossible.” | snapped at him and he finally sat up straight understanding just how upset | was by all of this.

“| believe that you will find a way to fix it all.” He responded carefully but it had only made me furious. Must I do all?

He handed out the last sip of his drink over to me but | looked at it like it was poison because, at present, it kind of was. The pregnancy test revealed what | suspected this morning but | had not told Felix yet.

“| can’t. I’m pregnant.” | muttered and continued my pacing thinking about how complicated this was all becoming.

“What? You are- Pheobe, do not joke around. Are you really pregnant?!” Felix jumped up from the settee and crept up on me. His hands gripped myaems excitedly before he crushed me to his chest on a hug. | patted his chest. trying to settle him down but his glee knew no bounds.

“This is incredible. We've always spoke about starting a family of our own.” His hands cupped either side of my face before he pressed his I*ps to mine in a brief k*ss

| shrugged out of his hold entirely. My inner feelings and his were currently not on the same page and it was only serving to fuel my anger.

“Are you not happy that we are going to be having a baby?” Felix asked, confused by my reaction. It was annoying some times how hard it was for him to understand me.

“It isn’t that. | am beyond happy but there is a lot to set in place before | can embrace things and relax. We need money, a lot of it. Money that we do not have. Having a baby is a huge cost. It only drives me harder to get back on to Dante's life.” Finally, at long last, Felix began to understand why | was so worked up.

He nodded slowly. “Our attempt at taking out his ex wife was not successful. Now she’s become some what of torn in our plans. His gruff voice was music to my ears as he said what | wanted to hear.

“Exactly. I’m surprised there has been no talk of an investigation about the attack.” | pursed my I*ps but then shrugged the thought off.

“Well, there better not be.” Felix grunted, running a hand nervously through his hair. “if | get imprisoned again, | don’t think I’ll be given the liberty of release again.”

| shook my head. “Never mind that now. Our primary concern is figuring out how | can weave my way back in to Dante’s life in n a way that he cannot kick me out.” It felt like | was saying the same thing over and over again and getting no where.

Before Dante and Sophia traced their steps back to each other, | needed to do some thing. The both of them were already acting a bit strange and Dante’s willingness to kick me to the curve told me all that | needed to know.

“| know exactly what you need to do.” Felix looked at me at the same time my gaze snapped to his. His eyes

danced with evil and | knew that he was on to some thing good. “You need a way to get to Dante that he can’t refuse and has no other option but to keep you around. The opportunity is perfect.” He rambled on and | narrowed my eyes at him.

“Just get on with it. What is the plan?!” | demanded to know not caring for the run around.

70%

Felix threw me look like he could not believe that | hadn't figured this out yet. “Tell him that you are pregnant but let him believe that this child is his. He would have no other option but to care for you and cover the upkeep of your lifestyle and it gives you time force his hand at marriage then we're set.” Felix concluded and | could feel my face split in to two at the grin that over took my face.

“That is a genius idea, Felix! | can’t believe that | hadn’t thought of it sooner. Dante may not be ast favourable to me as he once had been but he would never turn away his own child let alone the mother of said child. The more we spoke about it the more fool proof this plan was proving to be.

Dante may be ruthless in his ways but | knew him well enough to know that he would never turn away his own blood. It was why | had to make sure that Sophia didn’t see a fruitful pregnancy. Dante would have never left her had he known that she was actually carrying his child.

“l only need a few months. Dante and | will get married and before the baby is born | will demand a divorce which he will be happy to give me. Then | will seek to take half of every thing he owns.” The more | spoke about this plan the greater relief | began to feel. It was bordering on to euphoria at this point.

“You should go to him tomorrow morning. First thing in the morning. Play the part of the sick. pregnant woman to get his sympathy. He suggested and | nodded already ahead of him. | knew just how | was going to execute this and dare any one come in my way.

The very next morning. | had awoken and set out to carry out my task. | purposely didn’t apply any make up to give me that morning sickness look which hadn’t kicked in yet. | hailed a cab which was some thing | hated doing and it was why | couldn’t wait to get back in to Dante’s life so | could enjoy the wealth and power without feeling like a poor peasant.

| shook my head focussing on the positives as | scrolled through my phone but what | found circulating the media this morning was enough to stir my anger.

The Vanderbilt Ball was two days ago and Dante had attended as he did every year but this time he was photographed with none other than Sophia. That bi tch was more cu n ning and conniving than | had ever expected her to be. Their b*dy language was stiff and it showed some discord between. them which | could live with but all of that didn’t matter because soon enough what ever Sophia thought she had with Dante would come to a dead end.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

The car pulled up to Dante’s house and | spotted his car still in his front yard. | got up to the front door and knocked on the door like a da mn visitor. Stay calm, Phoebe. The last thing | needed right now was to lose my temper and ruin the plan.

| found Dante in his study and he was less than pleased to see me. Not that | expected a warm welcome or flowers at my feet but he was visible displeased by the sight of me.

This was it. | needed to give the most convincing act of my life. | sniffled when | saw him, kept my head low like | was in shambles with out him, professed my love for him over and over again then, when he was about to berate me, | blurted out the news watching the rug get pulled from beneath his feet as he processed all of it.

| could feel the victory already mount within me.
