CHAPTER 68

The war between Grace and Elizabeth had reached a new level. Now, it wasn't just about personal revenge, but also about protecting the legacy and dignity of the Thatcher family. And Grace was determined to fight to the end to ensure that justice prevailed, whatever the cost, after all Elizabeth Thorton Grant was no longer part of that family.

And so Grace finalized her contract with Wade's representative, determined to go ahead with a cruel and calculated plan. She was willing to finance the kidnapping of the two children, Allien and Jack Junior, with the aim of inflicting overwhelming pain on Elizabeth. For Grace, it was a way of showing her that she was not fit to be a mother, that her neglect and abandonment of the children was unforgivable.

The kidnappers were given clear orders: take the two children to distant cities and leave them abandoned there. Grace didn't just want to hurt Elizabeth; she wanted to destroy her emotionally, making her realize the extent of her failure as a mother and as a person. The children would be left to fend for themselves, facing hunger, humiliation and despair on the unknown streets.

The thought of condemning two innocent children to a life of misery and abandonment didn't seem to faze Grace. She was blinded by a thirst for revenge, determined to make Elizabeth pay for what she had done. For Grace, a mother who abandoned her own children deserved neither pity nor forgiveness, and this would be the greatest loss of Elizabeth's life, a good punishment for not having obeyed her and married Charles...

She knew that having been raised in an environment of abandonment and deprivation, Allien and Jack Junior would grow up with a deep hurt and resentment in their hearts. They would believe that they had been abandoned by their own mother, without understanding the reasons behind it. The pain, hunger and mistreatment they would face on the streets would only increase their hatred for Elizabeth, fueling an anger that would never dissipate.

For Grace, this anger would be her greatest revenge. She knew that even if one day Allien and Jack Junior reunited with Elizabeth, they would never forgive her. The feeling of abandonment and betrayal rooted in their hearts would turn them into instruments of Grace's revenge, a constant reminder of the price Elizabeth would pay for her mistakes.

The cruelty of the plan echoed in Grace's words as she discussed the details with her accomplice. Her voice was charged with dark emotions, a mixture of hatred, determination and a hint of anticipated satisfaction. She was convinced that this would be the most fitting punishment for Elizabeth, a lesson she would never forget.

However, even as she planned this ruthless act of revenge, a small voice of conscience whispered inside Grace. A part of her knew that what she was about to do was terribly wrong, that it would hurt not only Elizabeth, but also two innocent children. But the thirst for revenge was stronger, suffocating any remnants of humanity that still remained in her heart hardened by pain and anger.

And so, with the contract finalized and the plans in motion, Grace prepared to plunge deeper into the darkness of her own revenge, without looking back. What mattered now was inflicting as much pain as possible on Elizabeth, whatever the cost. He remembered Grace, all the details of that day...

And so, Grace and Viola gathered for a somber celebration. It wasn't a birthday, or an achievement. It was the planned and executed disappearance of Allien and little Jack, both the bastard and the adopted surrogate daughter. For Grace and Viola, that moment was one of triumph, for now these two innocent children were abandoned and consigned to the cruel fate of the streets, a punishment they believed was appropriate for Elizabeth.

As they toasted the success of their evil plan, Grace and Viola couldn't contain their sense of victory. For them, seeing Elizabeth suffer, having her heart torn apart by the pain of losing her children, was the pinnacle of revenge. It was the price Elizabeth would have to pay for the years of suffering and disgrace she had caused Grace and her family.

Firmly believing that this was only a small part of what Elizabeth deserved, Grace gave herself over to the feeling of retributive justice. She felt no remorse or compassion for the children she had condemned to a life of misery and abandonment. For her, that was the least Elizabeth deserved after everything she had done.

As the sound of clinking glasses echoed around the room, Grace reflected on the years of pain and anguish she had endured because of Elizabeth. She believed that every moment of suffering Elizabeth experienced was a just retribution for all the tears Grace and her family had shed.

And so, amid the darkness of their hearts hardened by anger and resentment, Grace and Viola celebrated Elizabeth's ruin. For them, this was a moment of triumph, the realization of a meticulously planned revenge. And as the shadows of night fell outside, inside Grace's mansion, the flame of revenge continued to burn, fueled by the pain and hatred that consumed their hearts.

For Viola, every laugh was like a victory won. She knew that Elizabeth's new husband would abandon her without hesitation. After all, what father would stand by a woman who had caused so much pain to his own daughter? Viola was convinced that Elizabeth would be held responsible for Allien's loss, and a Mountie from the Canadian Mounted Police would never forgive such an act.

As Viola's laughter echoed around the room, she knew that her revenge was complete. Elizabeth was now without her children and, soon, without her husband. For Viola, it was an indescribable satisfaction to witness the ruin of the woman who had hurt her family so much.

With Elizabeth's friends gradually moving away, Viola had no doubt that she would be left completely alone. No one wanted to be around a woman so despicable, so insensitive to the suffering of others. She would be abandoned by everyone and would only have to face loneliness and the contempt of those she had once called friends.

Viola anticipated Elizabeth's fate with gloomy joy. Without her children and her husband, she would have no choice but to lower herself to an even lower level. Viola knew that Elizabeth would be rejected by everyone, reduced to working in a brothel, a cruel and humiliating fate for a woman who had already been used and discarded by two men.

As she contemplated the bleak future that awaited Elizabeth, Viola felt a mixture of satisfaction and triumph. She had accomplished her mission: to make Elizabeth pay for the suffering she had caused her family. And now, as the darkness of night enveloped Grace's mansion, Viola allowed herself to savor the sweet sensation of retributive justice.

- She's just anyone...

-Elizabeth! You're a tramp, and I'm going to finish you off.
