Lyra's POV
Present
"I'm sorry to interrupt-"
"Of course you are" i sighed
As i was about to tell him a breathtaking story- he chose to speak
"Im sorry but its bothering me- what happened to Marco?" He asked
"Well after his company went down, he didn't really have a place to hide his underworld identity" I explained
"It took a few days, but our keen young reporters had dug a hole through the story and were writing articles like crazy" i said again
"So Marco disappeared" i said
"Is media really that powerful? It can really bring a whole mafia down?" He asked astonished
"That is the irony of the world, we're too invested in others lives' and when we finally find a worthy story to gossip over- its suddenly all that we care about"

"Well what is your plan exactly?" Andrew asked, eyeing me curiously
"I will take away his most beloved possession" i said
"Melissa?" Andrew said almost immediately and i rolled my eyes
"Do you even know Gabriel Gustavo? You think he gives a f-ck about any of his family/friends?" I said getting up
"He doesn't. His most beloved possession is his name, and the power that his name holds" i said
"Im going to take away that power, that name- and I'm going to rub it in the mud so furiously, that he has no choice but to hate that very identity that his name holds"
"I understand it a little bit i guess" Andrew said confused and i smiled
"Its okay if you don't, i will tell you everything when Arthur gets here" i said
"You already told him about it?" Andrew asked, a hint of jealousy portrayed on his face
"Not yet, i want to tell you guys together" i said
"What about Melissa?" He asked
"I think I'm going to see her before i launch everything, you know- with the last of my conscience" i said and Andrew sighed
"Do you think she will support you?" Andrew asked and my finger twitched
This question has been on the back of my head ever since i made this whole plan- and the worst part is that i still don't have an answer
I really want her to be okay with it
"I don't expect her to support me anyways" i mumbled, silently hoping that isn't the case
"Well I don't think she'd care" Andrew said, trying to cheer me up
Our conversation soon drifted to different subjects- subjects that involved our lives after this whole revenge
"Well i think I'm going to go on a world tour" Andrew said leaning back on the sofa, cracking his knuckles
"that sounds like something you would do" i giggled
"Well what about you?" He asked me, a hint of sparkle in his eyes
"I don't know yet" i mumbled
"Is there someone you want to be with?" He asked me suddenly and that question obviously took me off guard
"Uh" my mind went blank. Completely shutting down.
"No one" i lied, even though my racing heart told me otherwise
"Right" Andrew said smiling
I sat there with an awkward expression when suddenly the front door burst open
"Lyra" Arthur said my name in a heavenly voice and an unfamiliar feeling took over my heart
"Arthur" i said softly, as i met his eyes
He walked over to us- looking at me closely
He sat down beside Andrew- his eyes still on me
None of us broke eye contact, and my heart was pounding uncontrollably by now
"Well" Andrew said and i looked at him
"Should we tell him?" He said looking at me and then Arthur
I nodded and briefed Arthur on my plans- telling information that I hadn't told Andrew before
After a huge conversation, everyone got silent
"I think its perfect" Arthur clasped his hands together, a smirk playing on his face
"This will ruin him, his name and that power of his" Andrew said in a cheerful tone
"What about Melissa though?" I finally asked the guys who looked at each other
"What about her?" Arthur said unbothered and i narrowed my eyes at him
"Don't you think we should at least tell her?" I asked Arthur and he sighed
"I don't know- i mean she said in the starting that she won't mind whatever we do so" Arthur said and Andrew nodded
"I just want her to confirm that she really is okay with this" i said
"Well then go and tell her- that we are about to end Gabriel Gustavo"
