Chapter 338 - Scapegoat

Tossing her bag on the couch, Sabrina scoffed, "Be grateful that I am here." Walking towards the mini bar, she grabbed a bottle of liquor. 

"That is your favourite, I ordered it especially for you." 

Tapping her fingers on the bottle, she smirked at him, "It's funny how you still try to impress me even though you know nothing's ever gonna happen between us." 

"Well, something might have happened if you hadn't married that silly husband of yours." Walking towards her, he added, "We have always had a spark between us, remember?" 

When Sabrina did not say anything, he sighed, "Come on Sabrina, how can you forget about the good times we had when you used to come over with Matilda—" 

"That was almost thirty years ago, get over it Andrew." Without waiting for his reply, she poured herself a glass of her favourite scotch and made her way towards the couch. "I am a married woman now, have some shame." 

"Then why do you come here to meet me everyday?" 

Swirling the liquid inside the glass, she smirked, "Trust me when I tell you that your resources and power is more attractive to me than your face." 

Helplessly shaking his head, Andrew chuckled, "You know, this is what I really admire in you." Sitting right across her, he smiled, "Your bluntness makes you even more alluring and tempting than any other woman out there." 

"Your wife is blunt too and is exceptionally beautiful as well," she added. 

"I wouldn't deny that." 

"But still here you are, still wandering around me even after—hmm how long has it been? Thirty years?" When Andrew nodded his head, she smiled, "You need to get over me." 

Nodding his head in agreement, he remarked, "I will if you tell me why did you choose George over me?" When she did not say anything, Andrew insisted, "Come on, I won't let you go if you don't tell me today."

Sabrina and Andrew Brown shared an intimate relationship in the past which lasted for an entire year without any kind of commitment from both ends. Both of them met through Matilda Brown, Sabrina's late best friend who was also Andrew's biological sister. 

Feelings had just started to develop from Andrew's side when Sabrina started dating George Green, her present husband. Thinking that the feelings would fade away with time, he also decided to move on in life and married Aurora after a couple of months. But to his surprise, the feeling kept intensifying every time he saw or thought about her. 

"George is special, he listens to what I say. He also left his family behind just to help me out, how can you compare yourself with a man like that?" Placing the glass on the table, she added, "He is the best decision of my life." 

"Are you trying to say that your husband is your weakness?"

Narrowing her eyes, she snarled at him. "The relationship we have is different, don't try to drag George into this. He is innocent, in fact he has no idea what I am trying to do." 

Helplessly shaking his head, he chuckled, "Look at you getting fl.u.s.tered. Just relax, I won't touch him. If I had such intentions, I would have implemented it years ago when you left the country in a mysterious way years ago." Pausing for a while, he smirked, "It's not like I told him how you lied to him and everyone about how you wanted to get out of SPIRIT when that wasn't your real intention." 

Shrugging her shoulders, she smiled, "Well, let's just say we both are the same. You asked me to help you get rid of your sister and I did, in return I asked you help me create a delusional situation. We both have the equal amount of dirt in our souls which makes us the same." 

Years ago when Sabrina was preparing herself to take over SPIRIT from her mother, she very well knew that with the way she wanted to rule the organization was against the rules and protocols, and she would be exempted very soon if she tried to enforce her methods. 

She didn't wish to continue with the way the past generations had been ruling the organization. Sabrina always believed SPIRIT was special and one could do several things with it which could cause a huge impact on the world. 

She knew she needed someone to help her out when things went out of hand, this is when she decided to ask for Andrew's help. But when she did, he asked her to do him a favour as well which blew Sabrina's mind. He asked her to kill his sister Matilda Brown and in return promised to help her out multiple times or whenever she wanted. 

Though she hesitated for a while, Sabrina ended up choosing the power and satisfaction she would get from SPIRIT over her childhood best friend. After winning the competition and fulfilling Andrew's request, she took over SPIRIT and later married George, the claimed love of her life. 

When Sabrina started implementing her harsh methods, things started turning the way she had predicted. The members of the organization started destesting her and started making plans to terminate her. This alerted Sabrina and she decided to carry out her plan with Andrew's help. 

She knew that the people of SPIRIT wouldn't let her go that easily so left with no other choice, she decided to use her little daughter as a scapegoat. 

According to the rules, Sabrina's death would directly make her only daughter Silvia the next expected heir of the organization. She was very well aware of the fact that Silvia would never be able to face her opponents during the competition without any proper training. But she still decided to force her into it because she wanted her daughter to lose the competition even though she knew losing meant dying. She didn't care about her daughter, all she wanted was to have her powers back and to have the free will to run the organization like she wanted to.
