Poison me softly Chapter 23: What's That?
The question sits in the warm greenhouse air between us.Marianne D’Angelo looks at me patiently expecting me to give an analysis on why Brittany and Jude don’t have a child yet. I take a breath.“Mrs. D’Angelo. I cannot speak to the specifics of Mr. Martinez’s sessions. You understand that.”“I am not asking about the sessions.” She says. “I am asking for your professional opinion. As someone who has spent considerable time observing both of them.”“A child, is not something that can be scheduled into a relationship that is still finding its footing. Pressure in that direction tends to create the opposite of the desired result.” I pass each point across slowly. She is quiet, frowning down at her plants.“The healthiest thing is to allow them to build what they have between themselves first. When two people genuinely find each other, when they find something worth protecting, the rest tends to follow. You cannot force the order of those things without damaging all of them.”I stop t
Poison me softly Chapter 22: A Mother's Concerns
“I am saying, that my wife is trying to kill me.”When Jude says this, I feel my heart rate pick up. Rationally, I know that Jude isn’t accusing me or connecting his theory to me. But I still break out into a cold sweat.“Why would you think so?” I try to keep the nervousness out of my voice. “Why would your own wife kill you?”I find myself genuinely wanting to know the answer to my second question. Why did Brittany hire me to kill Jude? Why did she want the man she married, dead?“Let’s go.” Jude evades all my questions, walking out of the lobby.I trail behind him, wondering why this job was escalating to such dangerous levels.********When we arrive back ag the manor, Jude assigns two guards to stay by my side. While he goes out, I’m left alone in the house.I pull out my phone and jump into research. Lotus.I type it into the search bar and get what I expect. The flower. Symbolism in Buddhism. A skincare brand. A car company from the seventies that serious men in midlife cris
Poison me softly Chapter 21: What My Father Requested
I do not understand why I am here in the hospital. If Brittany has been shot, then this is a family matter. A private one. Something that should not involve me. And yet, when Jude said we were leaving for the hospital, he did not give me a choice. He simply looked at me and told me to follow.So I did.We are led straight through the corridors, past waiting patients, until we reach a private wing that feels nothing like the rest of the hospital.We stop outside a door, and one of the guards pushes it open without knocking.Jude walks in first and I follow.Brittany is sitting up in the hospital bed.That is the first thing I notice.Not lying down. Not unconscious. Sitting up, with her back supported by pillows, her posture still as straight and composed as if she were in her own living room instead of a hospital room.Her shoulder is bandaged.The white fabric is wrapped tightly, and there is a faint trace of red bleeding through the edges. If Jude didn’t tell me she was shot in th
Poison me softly Chapter 20: What Concerns Me
"Let her out." Jude demands.Roman stares at him. "Boss...""Now, Roman." He gives him no room for an explanation. Roman looks at him for one more second, then reaches for the keys at his belt and unlocks the cell door eyes moving between Jude and me with confusion. "You should be at the hospital." He says to Jude. "The doctor said the wound needed—""I am aware of what the doctor said." Jude's voice is clipped."Then why are you here boss?" Roman asks, eyebrows scrunched together."Because of incompetence." Jude says, looking at Roman directly. "Because I wdirI received reports my men had thrown my therapist into a cell based on an assumption.""It was not an assumption." Roman explains. "The tracker—""Was not hers." Jude says.Roman goes silent."We found the source." Jude says. "While you were down here playing jailer, my team ran the tracker signal. The device was placed on her phone from outside. Remote access. Whoever planted it had her number and the software to do it witho
Poison me softly Chapter 19: Behind Bars
They drag me through the manor.My feet barely keep up with the guards as they pull me down a corridor I have never seen before. My arm hurts from how tightly one of them is gripping it, and every time I try to slow down or ask a question, the grip tightens.“Wait...” I try again, my voice coming out strained. “You are making a mistake.”No one answers me.I'm taken downstairs into a part of the manor that does not look like the rest of it.We stop in front of a metal door. One of the guards unlocks it and the other guides me through it.They shove me in.I stumble forward, barely catching myself before I fall completely, my hands scraping against the cold floor. Pain shoots up my palms.They closeThe door closes behind me.“This is insane,” I whisper, more to myself than anyone else.Then a pungent smell hits my nose. I do not want to look. But I do. Dark, irregular patches have dried into the walls. I know what that colour is. I have seen it before, in a forest, on the ground, o
Poison me softly Chapter 18: Leaving Alive
“Oh Martinez, you’re screwed today!”The man laughs, as the cars all come to a stop, forming a loose circle around us. My grip on the gun tightens, even as I realise how useless it’s going to be against the men stepping out of the cats holding their ammunition. “Mr. Martinez...Just as I’m about to panic to Jude, I realise the man is no longer laughing.In fact, his face is stricken and he’s staring right behind me.“I always knew you dogs of Lotus just can’t play by the rules.” Roman seethes, as he cocks his gun.That’s when I realise the fleet of cars aren’t back up for the man. They’re here for Jude!Two men rush to Jude’s side and helping him up. He nods towards my direction and says. “Take her back to the manor.”Men appear at my side. One of them removes the gun from my hand, and the moment it leaves my grip I become aware of how tightly I had been holding it. because my fingers ache when they The relief that moves through me after is so sudden and so complete that my legs f
