Antonio is the man I trust the most in this mansion full of traitors. I am not a fool to not realize that Amanda has turned many of the employees against me.
Most of the servants remain loyal to Amanda and her damn adopted son. Between the two of them, they have poisoned some servants who have been in this house for years, whom I cannot dismiss for obvious reasons.
But the truth doesn't matter to me. As long as I am the master, they owe me respect and obedience.
Seeing Antonio approaching me, I got up from the leather sofa where I had been sitting for a long time.
I walked towards the window and brushed the beautiful golden curtains that jealously cover every corner of the enormous window in front of me.
In seconds, the bright sunlight illuminated the entire room, completely erasing all the darkness that had been present a moment ago.
That's how I wish my life could be, that someone as powerful as the sun would come into my life and remove all the darkness within me.
But unfortunately, there is no woman who can erase everything that Emma left inside me. Only revenge can partially erase the damage that wretched woman inflicted upon me.
While I gaze at the beautiful red roses planted in front of my room, I remember her red lips kissing me with such passion.
Emma knew how to penetrate the depths of my soul, she knew how to control my senses and my will. I only lower my gaze slightly to shake off each of those memories from my mind.
Then, I raised my hand as a signal for Antonio to continue speaking. I want to hear the good news he has come to deliver.
"Have you fulfilled my order?" I asked. Upon hearing my question, Antonio approached me even closer, never ceasing to bow his head.
"Yes, my lord, I have followed your orders to the letter," Antonio began, pausing briefly before continuing.
"Mr. Wlop took the bait and is willing to marry his daughter Emma to you, if you so desire, as early as tomorrow. The debts he owes to the government are growing larger by the day. If Mr. Wlop doesn't pay in a couple of weeks, his family will be homeless."
Upon hearing what Antonio tells me, a smile forms on my lips. The desire to seek revenge on Emma grows stronger.
I have longed to have that wretched woman under my control, to make her suffer in such a way that she will never lift her gaze again.
"Emiliano Wlop, so easily accepts that a bastard becomes the husband of his greatest treasure. Doesn't it bother him that his beloved Emma will be the wife of a nobody?" I asked Antonio mockingly.
"That is the strangest part, sir. That Emiliano Wlop would accept the marriage so easily," Antonio commented, hinting that it could be a trap orchestrated by Emma and her father to humiliate me again.
I turn to look at Antonio again, my face tense at the mere thought of Emiliano Wlop and his accursed daughter seeing me as a fool once more.
"Order them to buy all the shares of Wlop's companies that the government has put up for sale, as well as the mansions where they currently reside. If I'm not mistaken, Emiliano Wlop's wife owes a lot of money to a supposed friend," I stated. "My objective is for Emma and her father to have no way out. If they dare to try and make a fool of me again, I will reduce them to poverty so that they both spend the rest of their lives on the streets."
"The woman to whom Mrs. Wlop owes so much money is named Eloisa Dhos. She is the wife of a well-known judge and holds great influence in high society. She is not stupid enough to trust Mrs. Wlop's word. She requested promissory notes to ensure that Mrs. Wlop commits to paying all the money within a month."
Upon finishing listening to Antonio, I truly had a huge smile on my face. I didn't expect that family to be such a trashy bunch... They all had disgusting, miserable lives.
"Get all the promissory notes that woman signed for the Judge's wife," I ordered Antonio with a wicked idea in mind.
"As you wish, I'll contact that woman tomorrow and pay her all the money Mrs. Wlop owes her," he replied.
"You may leave now, Antonio. Prepare everything to go to the company, and in the evening, choose a beautiful jewel to visit my future wife," I said, concluding my command, as Antonio bowed and turned around.
"Sir, don't you think it's time for Emiliano Wlop's wife to find out that her husband's mistress is pregnant with a baby boy?" Antonio suggested.
Antonio's suggestion was a good one, but it was not yet time for that woman to discover that her husband had impregnated his mistress. A mistress that I, myself, carefully placed in that man's life. Samanta is an incredibly beautiful woman, and, of course, the most important thing is that she is very young.
Samanta is only twenty-four years old, and for a man over fifty, having such a young and beautiful woman as a mistress is pure glory.
Not only is Samanta beautiful, but she is also very intelligent. However, the most important thing is that she is loyal to me.
"But it's still not time for that woman and her beloved daughter to find out that they will soon be replaced by a son," I concluded.
After a few seconds, Antonio left my room, and I stayed there, staring out of the window. Every day that goes by brings my revenge against that damned family closer. I won't rest until I see Emma kneeling at my feet, begging for a bit of my mercy. This time, I won't show even a bit of pity for her. Emma will suffer so much at my hands that she'll never have the self-esteem to look up again.
