Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 280: The lovely brother -II

"Claim?" Evelyn repeated, slightly shaking her head as if whatever he said was something that he could never achieve and it was something he could never achieve. People would never let him achieve it.

In case he did achieve it, the entire world would never acknowledge him as the boss to the organisation of her father because he was not the legitimate son of the man that was the previous leader of the organisation.

If Matt wanted a claim to the throne, he had to be adopted by his father and then slowly introduced to the world as his hair. But since none of that had happened, it was going to be mighty difficult, almost impossible, for him to convince anyone else that he was the leader chosen by her father.

Which meant..

"You can never clean something that was not left for you, Matt." She shook her head and scoffed, " how in the world are you supposed to convince anyone, even me, that you have a direct claim to the throne like I do?"

"but you don’t," he pointed out and she noticed the sudden agitation on his face.

He was threatened when she pointed out the fact that even Evelyn could rule the organisation and no one would raise a hand in opposition. Because A, Carlo was her father which gave her the right to take the organisation right after he passed away and B, Salvatore was going to provide her with stability and experience that she needed to rule.

That was everything she actually needed to control an organisation that belonged in her name.

With people knowing that it was her father who was the leader, the boss, and she was the only living child, she could have complete control over the organisation and with Salvatore by his side, another powerful player, she could be untouchable.

"Yes, I do not," she played into his hand, "Because quite frankly, I gave it away as I never had an intention to have that position. So you are safe for me but what about the other watches? My cousins and my uncle’s? Because the moment you announce yourself as the leader, they are going to come barrelling down, knocking down your door and taking everything that you have work illegally for."

Those vultures even thought of sabotaging Angelo but the man had seen it coming long ago. Angelo was someone who was extremely experienced and powerful, something Matt was definitely not.

So his chances of survival were extremely less.

It may be a far stretched thought as she was playing into the future he had decided for himself, but Evelyn knew it as a matter of fact that her cousins and other relatives were never going to let an outsider take away what belongs to them.

Might as well tell him all of that.

"I will take care of them." He replied, A little handily as if he did not care enough for anything else.

"No, you won’t," she tsked, "because quite honestly, my relatives at least all together would have enough manpower to kill everything you have worked for and everyone you have worked with. Half of the people belong to my father’s organisation or under my father-in-law and they’re not going to come because they know that legally everything was handed over including every illegal organisation."

With a smile she concluded, "So, stop dreaming Mat, because you cannot achieve what you are thinking of."

The moment she finished her words, silence surrounded them and that was not in a good way because Evelyn felt tensed more than she had felt before.

A blank mask shifted over his face and she knew that she did not like what she had just said.

"Why are you worried for me, Evelyn?" He said and his lips slowly twisted into a sick smile. "Do you care for your bastard of a brother?"

She swallowed. "you’re not my brother, Matt."

"I have your father’s DNA. He fucked my mother and that is enough to tell you that I am your half brother."

Evelyn adamantly shook her head. "Unless you are acknowledged by my father as his son, you are not my brother and my father is dead, you are never going to be my brother."

He breathed loudly and Evelyn took it as a sign that he was released making her blow out a breath of relief as well.

"when I was under your father there was one thing he always said about you," Matt walked around his table, " he said, ’my daughter might look like someone who is naive, innocent, blatantly stupid but she knows what is going on. That naïvety Is what masks her fear and gives her the advantage of an upper hand’."

he turns to look at her, right in the eye, "Was he wrong, Evelyn? Don’t you act like a deer when you are a tigress underneath?"

Her Heart stopped beating for a second, a mere second as a shock over took her body and paralysed everything. From her thinking to her movement even affecting the ability of her heart to pump the blood. Everything froze.

"isn’t that right, Evelyn?" He said as he started to approach her. "You know exactly what is going on. The reason why you are here but you are just trying to cover it up with something that I already know."

Evelyn gulped and started to step back.

"You know why you are here. You figure it out before telling me every think that your fucking relatives can do. But guess what? I don’t care. I have enough bombs and ammunition with me to kill them all in their sleep."

Stopping right in front of her and staring down at her with a twisted smile of his own, Matt continued, " Because I am not going to play by the rules that stop me from being the king. I’m going to break them, and I’m going to be making them. And I will fuck anyone over who will try to stop me."
