Basically an AU where Mary doesn’t take Nathaniel and run. She instead gets rid of her husband and his little whore and her two lackeys. Part 1/?
All started fairly simple, marry Nathan Wesninski and form an alliance between the Hatford’s and Moriyama’s.
Nathan was charming at first, treated Mary as someone to be respected, didn’t dare say anything that would have her walking out.
Only for Mary to fall pregnant and for her husband to drop the niceties
He informed the Hatford family that she was unwell due to the pregnancy and wouldn’t be able to get in contact with them for the time being.
Brought in his whore, Lola Malcolm, and her brother plus a man named Patrick, to watch over Mary - to ensure she couldn’t get in contact with Stuart.
Mary Hatford-Wesninski began to plot Nathan’s death around then, spent the 9 months pregnant studying poisons
Had fantasied all the brutal ways she could kill him, she even came across and read a fascinating article about a woman named Katherine Knight (this happened 2001 but we’re gonna ignore that-)
She considered aborting the child growing inside her - the pest that was holding her down - but then time flew by and January 19, 1988 at 4:30AM Mary gave birth to a baby boy who resembled Nathan Wesninski
It took everything in her not to puke
Mary wasn’t even allowed to name the child, watched as Nathan told the doctor and nurses that the child’s name would be Nathaniel Wesninski - though, she was able too tell them the boys middle name would be Abram
Then just like that, motherhood was before her. Raising a baby was hell, it cut into her planning time on how to get rid of the Malcolm siblings so that she could get her hands on Nathan
Even though she and her husband shared a bed, they were both light sleepers so any plans to kill him in his sleep had been thrown out the window long ago
The years went by, Nathaniel clinging to Mary whenever Lola tried to touch him and she found herself protective of the little boy - he was her flesh and blood after all
Just, some days, he was hard to look at because of him inheriting Nathan’s looks.
And then the Exy practices started, Nathaniel was introduced to Kevin and Riko, played with the two with such joy in his eyes that Mary would rather he stay with those two then be home
Only for her to learn that this was a test, a way for Nathan to sell his - no, her son - to the Moriyama’s
Patrick DiMaccio was the first to go
Mary had been washing the dishes, playing the part of an obedient wife, when he waltzed into the kitchen and had let it slip that Nathan, Lola and Romero were out on a job for the next few days
She drove a fork through his hand and took enjoyment out of using her husbands torture room.
Patrick’s body was disposed of and despite the manhunt to look for the man, Lola and her brother came up empty as did all the Butcher’s men.
Nathan had suspected Mary at first, but over the years she played the part of a submissive fragile house wife so well that he shrugged the thought away, finding the very idea hilarious
Lola and Romero kept an eye on her even if their boss didn’t
And then Abram was being sold off, had a 3 being drawn on his cheek every day with permanent marker by Riko Moriyama
Mary smiled, showering her son with affection and taking him to all the practices while wondering if she should of ran before this happened
Read Abram to sleep which night and did everything she could to make sure Nathan didn’t raise a hand to either of them
Only for Nathan to spring on her at random, that Lola was to train Nathaniel with knives so that he could be a reliable asset to Riko when they were older
Mary bit her tongue, patching her son up every night so that he would be fine in time for his next Exy practice
Reasoned that this worked in their favour, had even slipped the thought to Nathan during sex that he should train Nathaniel himself to be the next Butcher
Had convinced her husband that Riko would want his own Butcher, just like his father, when he was older
A year later of Lola overseeing Abram’s training, Nathan took over. Bringing his son down to the basement and had him skin random people picked up off the street, see how skilled he was with a knife
Mary hated it, but she just had to be patient. Get Lola and Romero out of the picture
Then she could focus on getting rid of Nathan
But first, she needed to get in contact with her brother
watch me not even continue this lmao - tho if I do, Andrew will make his way in eventually same with Ichirou
ALSO THIS IS ALL JUST DOT POINTS SO LIKE IF IT BE LOOKING KINDA JUMPING PLACE TO PLACE - that’s exactly what it is cause I’m also sleep deprived when I typed all this out and didn’t go through to edit any of it
