Chapter 6: Poisoning Connor

It's been two months, Alex has been set free

Carrissa has been planing how to get Ava out of the way and has found the perfect way to do it, she's only waiting for the right time.

Connor and Ava had grown close and almost inseparable that the maids and guards in the palace are now careful not to offend Ava 

All this started irritating Carrissa, and she made up her mind to do something and fast, she could no longer wait for her plan, what if the perfect time never comes

She looked for what she could use against Ava and found just the right plan to separate the couples

Connor's POV

I could see my mate was tired, I could read her like a book she has just finished preparing various dishes for us to eat 

She smiled wearily as she walked towards her chair to sit beside me

I returned her smile, the gentle sway of her hips affecting me,

I could feel my member growing hard, I tried diverting my attention else where

"Are you okay?" I asked her

She gave me a brilliant but weary smile 

"Yes I'm okay" she said looking away

 The foods were brought in, I could feel my mouth watering, the aroma was so woah

I was about taking a spoonful of the food when Carrissa bust in through the door 

"Your highness don't eat it, there's poison in the food" she shouted 

Gasps spread passed round the table I stood up from my seat, everyone else did too

I was really furious by now, I couldn't believe my ears

How dare someone try to poison me?

I fumed silently

"What the hell are you saying?"

"Are you saying my mate tried to poison me?"I asked gritting my teeth

"Yes your highness" she said in with confidence

"Do you know the gravity of this allegation if it proves to be wrong"I asked

"Yes your highness" she answered firmly

I looked at Ava, she was shaking her head

"Is this true?" I asked looking away from her

"No Connor it's a lie " she said with tears in her eyes

"Come with me"" I led her out of the dining area to our room and closed the door gently

I was boiling over but i appeared calm

"Tell me what happened to the food you cooked if you hadn't poisoned it" I asked her calmly

"I honestly don't know Connor, I don't have anything to do with this "she answered crying now

"I would never try to harm you Connor, you know it"she said

I could see the sorrow there on her face, but for all I know she might be staging all this, maybe it was all part of her plan to pretend like she was tired and I won't pay proper attention to what I'm eating

"If this turn out to be true, just know you're done for." I told her bluntly

I called Nicholas

"Have the food examined by medical examiners, I want the result in ten minutes" I told my head guard .

Ava's POV

I feel miserable,I'm being framed but Connor doesn't believe I've got nothing to do with all this, I sat down on the couch looking at Connor, he could wear a hole on the Russian carpet if he keeps moving up and down like that, I really don't know what to do, I feel like hell,

At that moment a call came in 

I jumped, and Connor stopped in his tracks , he took out the phone from his pocket and answered the call

"What! It has been confirmed that there was poison in my food" he exclaimed and dropped the call

He looked at me with fury in his eyes 

I looked away in fear

"How dare you do this to me again?"

"You waited until I had fallen into your trap and caught me again, I can't believe I let myself trust you again, you're a monster in flesh, after so long I thought we could finally be together , you lying wench,ungrateful brat , to think I actually thought I could trust you, I thought I was in heaven but you brought me back to earth so quickly" he said everything in one breath 

"You are misunderstanding things, I didn't do anything  to the food, I didn't Connor trust me"" I pleaded with him on my Knees

"I just don't wanna see your filthy face so get out of here"he said calmly to me

"But Connor....." He didn't let me finish with what I was going to say

"I said get out of here which part of the English is strange to you?". He said to me with disgust in his eyes

I slowly turned and went out of the room, I was almost out of our quarters when I saw Carrissa heading towards our room.

"Hey chick what's up, got thrown out of the room?" She asked me sarcastically

"Well since when did you start mendling in my affairs " I asked her in anger

"Eww chill babe, just interested in your affairs , it looks like since Connor has called me back to service it's gonna be a long time before he looks at you, or you get to warm his bed" She said with a mocking grin 

"He did what!" I asked

"Yeah babe, he sent this guard and......"

I couldn't listen anymore, I feel as if my heart has been removed

I moved away quickly, I took the the stairs two at a time, I ran as far as my legs would allow me, I cried so hard

Connor has done it again, he didn't believe me the first time, he didn't believe me again this time

I ran till I was out of breath.

Carissa's POV

I would have given the world for the look on poor Ava's face 

She looks like a wet dog, and when I told her Connor's decision to give me back my job as his mistress, I enjoyed how her face turned white.

Don't you worry poor innocent Ava this is just the beginning I will make you live in hell for kissing Connor in public and for touching him, I will give you hardship, lots and lots of it.

She thought with an evil smile playing on her lips.
