The Conquerors Path

"What you said is the truth, family is supposed to forgive the little things and move forward but what am I to do when you keep disappointing me? when you keep taking everything I give and live your life as if it's granted?"

I spoke, my eyes matching towards Carmelia who couldn't seem to grasp upon what I was talking about.

"YOU-"

"Shut your mouth."

I spoke, shutting down Melvin who was about to speak, it affected Nix too, the words I spoke being empowered with my own aura and might, the situation pressing down on the two, sweat pooling down their foreheads as they were now unable to move, the sheer pressure of a small percentage of my might bearing down on them and this being more than enough to put them in place.

"Austin-"

Before Carmelia could complete with her cold voice, I raised my hand shutting her down, my presence slowly leaking out as it started to cover the whole place, the body of the two trembling as I started to speak in a calm, truthful voice, my eyes turning sharp and dangerous as I spoke.

"Let me ask you a question, among the four of us gathered here now, who do you think is more important and powerful here?"

The strength in my words mocking them in the room, normally not a good idea to do, especially towards the woman you are trying to seduce but hey plan B is riskier but it flows with the scent of guilt swirling around, the meaning of my question let bare to the world yet I didn't give any of them the chance to speak as I continued.

"What do you think will happen if I hurt or worse, kill the two of you?"

As I asked this, my aura sharpened around their necks producing a pressing power, suffocating them.

"AUSTIN!"contemporary romance

Carmelia shouted out, blasting forth her aura, taking a bit of control and giving the two beside her some breathing room, their reddened faces focusing on me as they huffed and puffed but I paid no heed to it as I kept my focus forward towards the now beaming Carmelia, now looking at me with mixed emotions.

"You really don't remember, do you? After all, you were the first one to ask me to call you as family."

These words only going forth to bring more confusion to Carmel's face, such a situation only making me chuckle a bit, as I leaned back into the chair, the atmosphere around me getting a bit rough as I explained.

"You saved my life once and we were friends but who would have thought that you had orchestrated it all just to see me suffer?"

"What do you mean?"

Carmelia asked, her voice cold, with confusion lining in them, to this I waved my hand at her, my expression soon turning calm as I stood up from the chair, looking down at her as I spoke.

"It doesn't matter, all I care about now is getting this done and finally never seeing your face again."

This hit Carmelia hard, the subtle plays and wordings I gave her finally pissing her off as she spoke.

"Why the hell are you speaking in riddles? Tell me what all this means. What do you mean we know each other before and why the hell are you so adamant on getting away from me when we were such close friends?"

To this, I shook my head at her.

"You are still gonna play the victim, huh."

As I said this, my gaze sharpened as I looked down at her, my words now dripping forth.

"You accused your so-called close friend of trying to manipulate you by seemingly targeting your sister's life, you did it without hesitation and guilt and you didn't even stop to think about why would I even do it? what would I even get from it and even if it's worth it even?"

"And after you hurt my trust, you came up to me as if it's normal and just apologized, you didn't ask how I felt, you didn't say the reason behind it, you didn't even feel sorry for breaking the trust we have built, after all, haven't you sat at nights eating my cooking? Where were your doubts then? you just threw a question to my face after seemingly everything we are."

"And that's just the beginning."
