Hours later, I finally come back downstairs.

The guards are still there exactly where I left themm Neither of them questions why using the bathroom somehow took over two hours.

One of them greets when he sees me. “Doctor.”

I give an awkward laugh. “I accidentally fell asleep.”

Doctors surrounded Jude him the doors closed between us.Then, we waited.###I’d been stabbed before.Back then, everyone around me had looked terrified.Jude hadn’t left my bedside. The twins and Mae had cried so much. I knew they had all been worried. At least, I thought I understood.But until this point, I didn’t grasp how dreadful it was. Nothing prepares you for watching someone you lo–I stopped the thought before it could finish.My eyes remained fixed on the operating room doors while doctors continued moving in and out.No.The word refused to stay buried.Someone you love.Love.I closed my eyes for a brief mom

  • Poison me softly    Chapter 119: He's Hurt

    CECILIA’S POVThe moment I stepped inside the hideout, everything around me seemed to go in slow motion.Allison stood upstairs with Brittany's arm wrapped tightly around her little body, a gun pressed against the side of her head while tears streamed down her cheeks. A few feet away, Alex struggled against the man holding him, kicking and shouting with everything he had. Every instinct inside me screamed to run toward them, but one wrong move would get Allison killed.I stayed hidden behind the broken wall near the entrance, my fingers wrapped tightly around the gun beneath my dress. Jude stood directly beneath the staircase. Roman remained beside him, Benjamin and Mae stood farther to one side, close enough to react but far enough that Brittany hadn't fixed her attention on him yet."Let her go." Jude's voice stayed calm despite everything.Brittany laughed. "I don't think I'm in the mood.""You've made your point." He slowly lifted both hands where she could see them. "Name your

  • Poison me softly    Chapter 118: To The Wall

    Brittany had barely stepped inside the building before one of her guards hurried toward her.He wasn’t trying to hide his urgency. Something had clearly gone wrong.“Ma’am.”Brittany turned toward him with visible annoyance. “What?”The guard lowered his voice. “They found us.”Brittany stared at him for several long seconds before speaking again.“What did you say?”“The hideout where the children are...they know where it is.”Brittany’s expression slowly changed. She began to power walked forward as she asked the man. “How?”“They took Mr. Benson, your driver—Brittany gave a cold laugh, but her eyes were filled with hot anger. “So he sold me. I knew I should’ve replaced him months ago.”Without another word, she entered the car. The man took over in the driver seat, and quickly began to exit the penthouse grounds.“Take the shortcut.” She told him. “They’ll never know to pass there.”Within minutes, Brittany arrived at the hideout. She didn’t rush forward. No. She calmly walked i

  • Poison me softly    Chapter 117: Britanny's Hideout

    Benjamin D'Angelo stood beside a black SUV parked across the road from Jude Martinez’s penthouse.He kept his eyes fixed on the stream of expensive vehicles leaving the estate. The auction has just ended, but he had been outside for longer. He was waiting for her. From the penthouse, a figure rushed out and he recognised her even though it had been four years. Mae stepped out without drawing attention to herself, closing the door carefully before making her way toward him. She didn’t greet him immediately, choosing instead to look around first to make sure none of Jude’s guards had followed her.“You came.” She said, not bothering to hide her surprise.Benjamin gave a small shrug. “I already gave your friend the gun. That should be enough proof I’m going to help you get back your godchildren.”Mae studied him for another moment before asking the question that had been bothering her ever since he’d contacted her.“Why are you helping me, Benjamin? What do you want after this?”Benja

    Jude remained exactly where he was, his attention fixed on the woman in the dark feathered mask.There was no doubt anymore.He had watched her brush past Brittany with what looked like an ordinary accident.But he knew she had purposefully went there after he sent the instructions to her. His eyes stayed on her as she quietly followed Brittany through the exhibition hall.She seemed to be tracking Brittany. Did she recognise her?“Of course she did.” He muttered.But why? Had she come here tonight with an entirely different objective than the one he had given her?Jude’s feet carried him forward, to demand answers. Guests continued examining the displays around him without noticing the storm quietly building beneath the calm atmosphere. Meanwhile, Jude’s entire understanding of the past few years had shifted within a matter of seconds.A strange laugh almost escaped him.If someone else had told him this story yesterday, he would’ve dismissed it as impossible.Out of all the laun

    CECILIA’S POVMy phone vibrated quietly inside my purse.The sound almost disappeared beneath the low conversations surrounding me, yet I recognized that notification instantly. It was Dr. Venom. Finally!My heart skipped as I reached inside without drawing attention to myself.Keeping my movements small, I lowered my gaze and unlocked the screen beneath the cover of my purse.A single message waited.[The target is close to the sword display. She’s wearing a dark pink dress and white mask. Proceed.]Plant the chip.I slipped my phone back into my purse and slowly lifted my head, to search for the person I’d be planting the microchip on. I adjusted my mask before searching through the crowd again. A few seconds later I located the target.Just as Dr. Venom had described, there was a woman near a sword display, wearing a pink gown and white mask. There were still several people between us. Good.
