Control

I'm losing him, I sensed it before, but never as acutely as tonight. He disobeyed me, then lied to me I didn't think Ian could do that, lie and look me in the eye. She's beginning to command his loyalty, loyalty that should be mine. I'm beginning to hate her, hate with an intensity I didn't think possible. She won't let me control her, won't let anyone control her really, I've seen her rage, and it's worse then when she thinks she can control herself.
It's through her desperation that I could've gotten to her, could've finally been in control, but Ian had to be on her side. Damn. I don't know what really happened tonight, but I know Ian lied to me. I just wish I knew why. For a single moment tonight I felt in control or Sarah Pezzini, and even though she no longer wore the Witchblade I relished the victory... but Ian... the one person I thought I could trust, how could he betray me? How?
Lady Sarah... he shows her reverence, why? Why has she turned him away from me? Perhaps I should've given her the money after all... secured some of her goodwill, but it wouldn't have done much... What am I doing? This isn't me... Carefully I draw my emotions into the net of nonchalance I use so often and so well. I stare into the fire, watching my money burn, it didn't matter much really, after all what's two million dollars where the Witchblade is involved? It is perhaps partially my fault... that's entertaining, I can just imagine how Ian would react to that, I should've killed her damn lover before they got so close. He only got in her way after all... only got in my way... at least the flash's of their passions will stop, they were beginning to disturb me. I'll get Ian's loyalty back, I'll regain everything somehow; I'll recover the Witchblade, recover Ian, and most importantly recover control.
