Chapter 87: Plan Gone Awry

"What is wrong with you? I told you to make him write a note blaming Nora for seducing him and then abandoning him. What did you do? Make him write about guilt for causing her pain. Why couldn’t you have followed such simple instructions?" Lara glared at the person in front of her as she paced her room.

Dam* it! She’d lost such a golden opportunity. If everything had gone according to the plan then Nora would have become notorious for leading men on and being a sl*t! First, she’d have made Antonio come forward to claim how she’d betrayed him and left him at the altar and then within months married the powerful Demetri Frost. In between, she had not been idle but even toyed with the feelings of her senior in University!

Even if it would not have harmed her much, it would have put a blemish on her pristine image. A blemish that would not have been acceptable to Elijah Frost. Who did not know the old man and his orthodox ways? He would never have accepted Nora into the family.

But now, this man by her side and ruined everything! She felt him come behind her and rub her arms but she simply shook him off in irritation. "Calm down, sweetheart."

"How can I calm down! You’ve ruined everything! I did not expect that you would sabotage me too." As tears trembled on her eyelashes, the man sighed and forgot all his grievances against her. "Lara. I did what I had to to protect you. If Max had written a suicide note blaming Nora, then her husband would not have let things go so easily. He would have dragged this matter until her name was cleared."

"Even before the police retrieved Max’s body, Demetri Frost’s agents were sniffing around for evidence. If they suspect foul play, then they are going to go at it like rabid dogs. So, we need to convince them that everything that happened was Max’s doing alone with no one offering suggestions. Also, don’t worry. I have something from Max that might help in implicating her later."

Lara looked up into the eyes of the man who was looking at her dotingly. What a fool. He had even bloodied his hands to please her. Sigh, she really liked this guy more than the others. He was good in bed and out of it. A rare dual quality. Maybe she would keep him for a longer time than the others.

"What are you thinking?", he whispered in her ear and Lara sighed," Thinking about how good you are to me." He smiled against her cheek and placed a gentle kiss," Lara, there is something I need to discuss with you."

Lara sighed. These men sure had a way of ruining her good mood. Instead of taking the signal and pulling her to the bed, he was being a ninny and wanted to talk to her.

Irritated, she questioned," What?"

"You need to check in with Sara. She seems to be intent on going against you and supporting Nora..."

Lara laughed out loud at that as she refused to accept it. There was no way that her favoured daughter would go against her.

"I know you have a blind spot for her. But she is the one who created a ruckus about Max’s suicide and caused that detective to take a second look. So just take her in hand."

Lara’s eyes hardened as she heard this piece of news. It seemed her good daughter had forgotten to show her loyalty to her mother and needed a reminder...

As she planned to visit Sara, the man rubbed her back slowly and whispered," I also have a piece of good news for you."

Lara was intrigued at his tone. Why did he suddenly sound like an excited little puppy who was wagging his tail to receive praise?

Instead of questioning him, she waited for him to confess. And he did," You want to find an opening to break up her relationship with her new husband, didn’t you? It seems you won’t have to do much work. See, no one, not even his family was aware that Demetri Frost had married. It’s been a while since they got married and the man has not bothered to announce it anywhere or even acknowledge her. This clearly indicates that she is not so important for him. Also, Elijah Frost already has a chosen bride for his eldest grandson. And that girl is his own Goddaughter. Do you think he will let Nora enter the Frost family so easily?"

"He has already started to move ahead to get rid of her."

Lara grinned at this piece of news." You mean, the fire that I was trying to light is already burning? I just need to fan the flames. Why don’t you find a way to set up contact with this fiance of Demetri Frost? After all, the two of us share the same goal and the same enemy. We might just turn out to be friends."

The man laughed and tapped Lara’s nose. " I knew your sinister mind would come up with something like this! Don’t worry, I’ve already found a way for you to access her. Elijah Frost and his Goddaughter share the same birthday. It is next week. This time, the man is hosting a party for her, and it is being said that he might officially announce her as the future matron of the Frost family. So, she is going to be desperate to get rid of Nora and you just need to help her..."

Lara grinned and leaned on her tiptoes as she caught the man’s ears and patted his head like she would that of a dog," You are really good to me, sweetheart. Come here and take your reward..."

As the man salivated and followed her to bed, he failed to see that her desire was not for him, but it was excitement to defeat and hurt her daughter.
