Poison me softly Chapter 103: Impossible Possibility
Jude stared at the documents spread across his desk while several security reports remained open on the monitors surrounding him.The masked auction was tomorrow night.Normally, preparations for the annual event would have been delegated to other people. He had enough men capable of handling logistics, security, guest verification, and every other detail involved.This year was different.This year D’Angelo's were walking straight into the trap he had spent years building.His fingers tapped slowly against the desk as he reviewed the final security layout.The auction would be held at the mansion.Every guest would be screened. Every entrance monitored. Every room secured.By tomorrow night, dozens of powerful people would be under one roof.And if everything went according to plan, Brittany’s family would leave completely ruined. It was unfortunate that he wasn’t inviting her to see for herself. A knock sounded against the office door.“Come in.”Roman entered carrying a tablet ben
Poison me softly Chapter 102: Coming With You
CECILIA’S POVMae worked hard, coding the online funnel that we would use to frame the person Dr. Venom was targeting. While I planned the strategy of how I’d get unto the auction and put, based on all Mae remembered about the annual masked auction.“I don’t know who the current head of the inner circle is, but it’s going to be held there.” She said, eyes still focused on her computer.“Is it possible we can just find out on Google?” I asked.She laughed, and shook her head. “Then the government would also know to.”I sighed and turned my eyes to the mask I was sewing for auction. I had asked some servants for materials and equipment, and gave the excuse that I wanted to patch up some of the clothes for the kids.I realised, since this was a thing for mafia families, there was a huge chance that Jude would attend it. I didn’t need him to hear I was stitching up a mask, and have him putting two and two together. “What if it’s happening miles away from here?” I asked, even though I wa
Poison me softly Chapter 101: It's Only Right
Miles away from Jude’s penthouse, in the heart if the city, was the D'Angelo's family house. In the lounge, Brittany sat cross-legged, tapping away instructions to one of her men. It was an assassin she sent to kill the man who she has sent after Cecilia. It had taken great lengths to find Jude’s location. But she had successfully found his hidden penthouse. She read the message the assassin had sent:[The target has been eliminated]A smile of satisfaction graced her lips, as she typed out.[Excellent]Across from her Benjamin pocketed his phone with a sigh, then glared at his sister. “What’s making your wicked soul happy? Did someone die?” He sneered.She chuckled, her eyes looking over him with coldness. “In fact, someone actually did.”Benjamin made a face like he’d swallowed something sour. “You say it like you’re proud of it.”“I am proud of it.” She said simply. “Pride is the natural reaction to doing your job well.” She wasn’t going to let him know she was after Jude and
Poison me softly Chapter 100: Look like A Family
The countdown of seven days to the auction, loomed over my head. I anxiously waited as the days passed. I noticed Jude came around often to be with the twins. Despite how much I tried to prevent it, he kept on worming his way into moments with them. When they were eating breakfast, he sat at the table. When they were outside playing, he would join them when they asked. Before he went out, he asked to see them. It wasn’t just frustrating me, but also torturing my mind. Each time I saw Alex clinging to his leg, or Allison laughing at him, it made my stomach churn. I’d began to question my decision.Was it right to keep the kids from having a father? Right now, they were young and hadn’t asked any questions. But what about when they got older? What if they grew to resent me from hiding them from their father. Beside me, Mae appeared on the balcony. She must’ve seen the tension on my face, because she squeezed my shoulder supportively.“It’s overwhelming to see them like this right?”
Poison me softly Chapter 99: The Invitation
"I need to leave." Jude said as he stood in front of me.I quickly tucked my phone into my pocket and looked up. "What?""There are things I need to handle."I wanted to ask why he was telling me, instead of just walking out. But the way his eyes lingered on me and moved briefly toward the twins, made me stay silent. "You'll be safe." He added, as if he was entirely sure. I nodded, still unable to muster a verbal reply. A few seconds later he left. The moment he disappeared, Mae immediately leaned over."What was that sound?"She remembered what I’d assigned our laundering messages to sound like. I unlocked my phone and looked at the message, my eyes immediately widened."No way." I gasped. "What?" Mae asked, waiting with anticipation. I stared at the screen, taking in the entire message. "It's Dr. Venom."“Oh.” She nodded. “Our biggest client.”Of course she remembered exactly who he was. We had made a billionaire from him, and had used the money he gave us to restart our lives
Poison me softly Chapter 98: If Mae Leaves, I Leave
CECILIA’S POVStanley wasn’t my major concern. Allison and Alex were. Stanley had been inside one of the most heavily guarded rooms, surrounded by guards and surveillance cameras. Yet someone had still managed to reach him.And had killed him, and gotten away.If an assassin could get to Stanley, then they could get to anyone.They could get to me.They could get to Mae.They could get to my children.The thought made my pulse race harder than it already was. My stitches pulled painfully as tension seized my body, but I barely noticed.Beside me, Mae looked equally unsettled.Neither of us spoke for several moments. We didn't need to. The same fear was written across both our faces.The maid had already left, probably to report back to Roman who would currently be dealing with the chaos downstairs. I heard the sound of footsteps approaching, and immediately pulled shut the twin’s room. Mae stood by my side, bracing herself. A second later Jude appeared at the corner. The moment his
Poison me softly Chapter 6: The Antidote is Gone
My fingers tightened around my phone as I stare at the message on the screen.“What exactly is this, Dr. Cecilia?”Anxiety crawls down my spine. I can feel the coldness in her message. Brittany, a woman who’s hired me to kill her husband, would easily erase me, if I was causing her any issues. Be
Poison me softly Chapter 5: His New Mistress?
When Jude said we’d have his session in his hotel, and seemed for the first time, cooperative, I was alarmed.But when he elaborated and said it would be in a hotel, which he owns, I was at ease.Just as expected, the Martinez hotel can rival the Buckingham Palace.“This is just a branch.” Peter, o
Poison me softly Chapter 4: I know what you're doing
"Follow me.” Roman’s voice cuts through my thoughts.He is already walking away and I have no choice but to follow.His steps are long, yet he does not once look back to see if I am keeping up. We stop in front of a pair of double black iron doors.Without a word, he pushes them open and I step ins

“My job is call out my patient’s bluff, and make them understand their fears.”For a brief moment, something unreadable passes through his eyes. Then he leans forward.The movement is sudden enough to catch me off guard.Before I can react, his hand shoots out and wraps around my wrist. His grip is
