Chapter Eighty Six

Third Person POV.

“Welcome, sister Elena Blanca greeted with a small smile, watching as Elena’s eyes scanned the

room.

She had on her typically frightening expression, and even though Blanca had invited her for a reason, she couldn’t help but worry that she might have played with fire and would end up getting burned.

“Stefano, take the child upstairs. I have a bone to pick with someone in this room,” Elena instructed as soon as she noticed that Pietro was also in the room,

Richard groaned in frustration as soon as he heard Elena’s words. He wished he could be surprised. that those were her first words as soon as she walked, but nothing Elena did surprised him anymore.

knew his bitter and all–knowing big sister was about to ruin his mood for another month, if

not longer.

Amber, on the other hand, was totally confused. She stared at Elena with a bewildered look on her face.

wondering why Richard couldn’t just tell her once and for all how many siblings he had. First, it was Bianca, and now, it was Elena, who looked like she would pull out a baseball bat any second from now and just start to randomly smash things.

“Afe you cursed, Elena?” Richard asked, folding his arms across his chest in annoyance. “Forgive me if I sound rude, but you have such terrible energy that ruins the mood of wherever you step foot

in.”

Elena tilted her head, staring at Richard with an amused look on her face. Without saying a word. she’d walk toward Bianca, who was seated directly opposite Richard, signaling her to scoot over to

the next seat so she could take over.

As soon as she sat down, she would let out a sigh before finally speaking up. “You’re the one with the long list of misfortunes, Richard. So, are you still sure I’m the one who’s cursed?”

Richard scoffed. “Let’s not start this right now, Elena. Instead, tell me why you’re here and who it

is you have a bone to pick with.”

“Of course, I wouldn’t be here for Bianca, you fool. It can only be you, and I have so much to say to you because it’s high time you come to your senses,” Elena hissed.

“For starters, you have a lot of audacity bringing this woman here, Richard,” she mentioned suddenly,

and Amber’s eyes widened in shock when she realized that she was the woman in question.

“E…excuse me?” Amber would attempt to speak up, trying to understand what was going on and what

could have done wrong.

She was still trying to process what was happening and why Richard and his supposed sister seemed so

hostile toward each other, so it shocked her when Elena suddenly spoke to her like she was upset.

Elena’s cold gaze would turn in Amber’s direction, causing Amber to hiccup out of sudden fear. “If you know what’s good for you, Miss, keep your mouth shut while I’m speaking to my brother,” Elena

warned.

“Don’t you dare talk to her like that, you psycho!” Richard snapped.

Bianca had expected hell to break loose with Elena’s arrival, but she didn’t think Elena would start her drama this quickly. “Per favore, calmati, sorella Elena (Please, calm down, sister Elena.),” she

pleaded.

“Stay out of this, Bianca,” Elena warned.

She turned her attention back to Richard, and they both glared at each other while Amber watched in

horror, wondering what was going on.

“Why is this woman here, Richard? Why would you bring Kayden Black’s ex–wife into our lives and cal her your wife?” Elena questioned, her voice raising slightly.

Amber froze.

Was that it? Was Richard’s sister acting this way because she didn’t approve of her since she was married to Kayden? Was she the reason why there was so much tension and yelling?

“Since when did my life become your business, Elena? Who are you to question me, disrespect my wife and make her uncomfortable?” Richard fired back.

Elena scoffed. “Your wife? You mean the one you met on Kayden’s wedding day and married within a week? Is she really what you’d call a wife?” she questioned, shocking both Richard and Amber.

Amber suddenly tasted bile in her throat as she felt the urge to throw up. She couldn’t believe Elena’s words at all, and all she could think of was how she and Richard had been found out. How wa

that even possible? What exactly was going on?

Amber suddenly tasted bile in her throat as she felt the urge to throw up. She couldn’t believe Elena’s words at all, and all she could think of was how she and Richard had been found out. How was

that even possible? What exactly was going on?

“What are you going on about now, you crazy woman?” Richard asked, refusing to believe Elena knew anything and wasn’t just trying to bait him to talk.

“Don’t play dumb with me, Richard. I know everything about you. Everything from start to finish,” Elena retorted. “If you need me to show you pictures of how you met and how you got here, then I

won’t mind doing that.”

“Oh, so you admit that you’re a crazy woman who secretly spies on her own siblings?” Richard hissed.

Elena scoffed. “You call it spying; I call it keeping tabs for safety reasons. Now, do you admit that. she’s not really your wife and that you both are married for sick reasons?”

“So what, Elena? What is it you’re getting at? What do my business and relationship with her have to do with you? It’s our relationship, and you have no business butting in,” Richard sternly responded,

much to Elena’s annoyance.

“Do you agree with him, Miss?” Elena asked, suddenly facing Amber.

“W…what?” Amber asked, confused by Elena’s question.

“Do you agree that my not–so–right in the head brother’s decision to marry you just to use you for revenge has nothing to do with me, his sister?” Elena rephrased.

“There’s no need to respond to her stupid question, Amber. Just ignore her,” Richard said to her, reaching out to squeeze her hands gently when he noticed she was getting nervous.

Bianca, who had finally had enough, decided to step in. “You said you had something important to say Elena. Don’t tell me that important thing you had to say has to do with rejecting Richard’s for getting married.”

“I wouldn’t come here just for that. It’s not like I can get them to divorce each other. Besides, if I really wanted to stop them from getting married, I’d have gladly exposed the reason for their marriage to mom and dad, since I already knew from the very beginning.” Elena retorted, and Richard sighed in frustration.

“I’m the fool for sitting here and listening to you, Elena. Let’s get going. Amber,” he said, getting

up from where he was seated and preparing to walk out, but he froze in his steps when a crystal plate suddenly flew an inch past his face and fell to the floor.

Amber’s eyes widened in disbelief as she watched as Elena threw a glass plate at Richard, almost hitting him directly.

“Sit back down, Richard, or else I won’t miss the next one. You already know I’m crazy, which means I won’t hesitate to watch you bleed a little,” Elena threatened, stunning everyone in the room into

silence.
