The room reeked of cheap cologne and something darker -Deceit maybe.
I sat back in the leather chair fingers steepled, eyes locked on the man across from me.
"you sure you want to do this? "Marcus? I asked, with a low voice coiling around a secrect. "He is your Brother after all. "
Marcus jaw tightened, "I don't care he said coldly."
The fire crackled in the hearth Behind us, casting shadows over the whiskey glasses untounched on the table between us.
"He as everything, "Marcus continued.
"A company, Power, the spotlight. The Day he took our father's place.... And me, what did I get? The crumbs., the shame and the Silence.
I smiled wickedly. "Then I guess it settled ".
I Reached Inside my blazer pocket and slid a sealed envelope across the table. Marcus picked it up, eyes gleaming as he opened it. Inside was a detailed Blueprint -of his brother's security layout, safe combinations, and most chilling of all, a list of weakness, Names, faces and Secrects.
"I will Destroy him ",Marcus said, voice like ice.
"publicly. Irreversibly. I want him Begging..... On his knees".
Marcus grinned. "He won't see it coming ".
I got up, Buttoned my suit jacket, and turned to leave -But paused at the door.
"oh ",i said without turning around, "when he falls..... Leave his wife for me. She is a Beauty. Marcus chuckled darkly, Cruel :i like it".
The Door clicked shut Behind me.

I leaned against the Balcony of the room, thinking about everything -and who could possibly be behind it all.
When my phone Buzzed .
Unknown number
i told you I would Dismantle, just like you had Dismantled, welcome back-i have a big surprise for you today -Old friend".
I stood up straight -who could possibly be Behind everything happening "Old friend"Do I know this person?.
"Raphael "a familar voice said.
I turned. Only to find my Brother again.
"you again? ".i said in a low voice, why are you here at this hour and how did you even get pass my security?.
What exactly is it that you want from me, After everything the family did to me"?.
He moved closer into the light -And so did I. "you should have stayed dead ",Marcus said coldly, pulling out a gun from his coat.
Just Before I could even React, the gunshot rang out.
But I looked down at myself they where no Bullet wound.
It had hit someone else or something else.
Then I heard her Voice "Raphee",I turned in shock -my whole world was spinning suddenly -as I held Mariana as she collapsed into my arms, with Blood all over her White Nightee.
He lowered the gun, his eyes unreadable.
"well little Brother,"he said smoothly, welcome to the first move of Ascertaining my Empire".
