Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Ruined (1)

After breakfast, Selene met with Xavier at the carriage to head to her old family home then they would visit the graves.

Selene was seated beside Xavier since Agnes waited last to enter the carriage giving Xavier the chance to sit beside Selene.

"Have you planned how you will get them to hand over what is to be mine? A plan without violence," Selene said, knowing he intended to hurt someone today.

"A plan without violence is a silly plan. There is always a need for a little violence when we are dealing with greedy relatives. Did you visit them during the time you were married to that man?" Xavier asked, curious about how much Gabriel was able to help Selene.

"I did but it did not change anything. He wasn’t as he is now when we went to visit them but he managed to scare them off from approaching me. I don’t know what else they think I have. Did they want my mother’s brooch I took with me?" Selene wondered.

Her relatives had staked their claim to everything else. Why did they have to be so greedy to want even the clothes off of her back?

"I won’t stop you if you have to harm someone today. I just don’t want violence to be our only plan. They will greet you with open arms because of your status. At least we can be confident we will be welcomed inside. I think my aunt resides there now that my cousin has taken over. I hope they have not ruined it," Selene said, scared to see the inside.

"For everything they have ruined, I will ruin them. It is only fair. You will have good news to share with your parents that you have gotten the home back."

Selene was happy at least one of them was confident about this visit. She was lucky Xavier was here to fill the moments when she was nervous.

After a long ride to her old family home, Selene spotted the home she adored. Already she spotted many changes but they could easily be fixed.

"They will not just hand this home over to us even if you threaten them to. What plan do you have?" Selene asked, needing to know before they entered the home.

Xavier had connections to use. "We will get what is left and then I will deal with getting the home handed over to you. Isaac works in the court. He can find who the home was left to but the only issue is finding where it was noted in the court"

"If your parents knew their deaths were coming, I believe they would have made arrangements for you to inherit the home and everything else," Xavier said.

At the time of deciding who the home would go to, Selene didn’t have anyone at her side to help her learn what was left to her. Xavier didn’t doubt for a second that since she was adored, the home was left to her but her relatives hid proof of it.

"I believe my father would have done that. Days before they were killed, he was the one who kept telling me not to worry about the days ahead. I did not know what he meant then but it seems he knew they were going to die. Those snakes," Selene balled her hands into a fist as she thought about her relatives.

The relatives who once frequented the home and owed her father were the main ones who harassed her for what they figured they could make money from selling.

Xavier placed his hand on Selene’s to calm her. "Save that anger for later. Right now I need you to be calm to tell me who chased you away and bothered you."

"Right," Selene replied. She couldn’t let her anger get the best of her to ruin this trip.

When the carriage stopped, Xavier was the first one to exit and offer his hand to Selene to help her out.
