What He Planned

"What kind of game are you playing?"

Ralph's hands pointing at her shook a little.

"Dig in, now!"

"Games?" Talia snorted. "I can be honest now that you'll kill me. That camera is still recording and you'll make sure my grandpa will watch it, right? Ah! For once I can speak my truth and I feel liberated already!" she was chirpy.

"Ralph," Talia sat hugging her knees. "I can understand your pain, you know... I get why you want to get back at my grandpa... I want to get back at him too. I gave up so much to inherit the Northern Star,"  she fisted her hands. 

"Do you know how many enemies I have because of him? Even you – my cousin... I understand you don't want to do all these to me... You spent your adult life trying to get back at my grandpa and hurt me... You even went and collected goat urine and what is this... Elephant dung?" She couldn't help making a dig at him.
