Poison me softly Chapter 97: You Still In The Game
Jude had been discussing plans with the men in the inner circle, when the lights went out.Without warning, the room was plunged into total darkness. Conversation around the table stopped instantly. Jude didn't move from his seat, didn't reach for his phone, didn't show any reaction at all. But the occurrence perplexed him. Five minutes passed in silence. The men around the table shifted in their chairs, the sound of fabric and creaking wood the only thing breaking the stillness.Then the lights flickered back on. The hum of the air conditioning returned, and the projector screen at the end of the table blinked back to life mid sentence.Nobody commented on it, even though a power outage in such a heavy powered penthouse was quite odd. Jude glanced toward the door just as it opened. Roman stepped in, and the look on his face told Jude that something was wrong.Roman bent his head, to whisper in Jude’s ear. "During the outage." Roman said, keeping his voice low enough that the ot
Poison me softly Chapter 96: Assassin
I stood still and waited.One minute passed. Then two. By the fifth minute the lights flickered back on.The air conditioning hummed again. Everything returned as if nothing had happened. The power supply was back. I frowned, thinking that was quite odd. The penthouse had backup generators. Why would the power be out for five whole minutes?The thought lingered in my mind as I continued upstairs.When I reached the twins' room, I immediately pushed the door open. Relief washed through me seeing they were both safe. Alex sat curled up on the sofa while Allison lounged comfortably beside him, and Mae was there too. The moment she saw me, she stood."Everything okay?" I asked. Mae nodded. "Alex got scared." My son immediately protested. "I wasn't scared." "You hid behind the sofa." She retorted"I was investigating." He argued. Allison burst out laughing and I couldn't help smiling.Mae folded her arms. "You were terrified." "I wasn't." "You were." "I wasn't." The argument cont
Poison me softly Chapter 95: Power Outage
I was expecting Jude to elaborate more on the plan, but he didn’t.He turned to Roman and said. “Send a message to the inner circle. Tell them to meet me here.”Roman looked surprised. “As in here? Our secret location?”Jude nodded and Roman immediately went away to carry out his orders.The inner circle, from what I remembered were a group of powerful mafia families. So a group of criminals were going to be in the same building as I and my kids? That didn’t sound ideal.Jude must see the thought on my face, because he says. “We’ll be on the ground floor, and you stay on the first floor.”“But—He cuts in. “Forget about Brittany and what I want to do. It’s almost time for your doctor’s appointment.”He doesn’t give me any room to argue, and quickly turns on his heels and leaves. I let out an exasperated sigh, and trudge to the elevator and go up to the first floor. I head to the kids room, were their eyes are focused on the TV, and occasionally talking about the show they’re watching
Poison me softly Chapter 94: Caught On Camera
The room went silent the moment Roman spoke. Jude turned fully toward him, his expression already hardening.“What?” He asked sharply.Roman didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he stepped forward and raised the tablet in his hand. The screen glowed in the dim light of the sitting room. Jude reached for the tablet without hesitation. “What is it?” I asked quietly, but Roman ignored me, focused on his boss. Jude’s eyes scanned the screen, and then his entire body went still. I watched him carefully, trying to read his expression. At first it was confusion, then recognition, then something darker. He turned the tablet slightly so I could see, and my stomach dropped instantly.It was a video. Not just one. Multiple clips, all showing the same thing. Jude holding me in his arms, me covered in blood, my body limp, my face pale. The angle made it look worse than reality had been. It looked like I was dead.My breath caught sharply. “What?” Jude didn’t speak, his grip on the tablet t
Poison me softly Chapter 93: I Looked For You
The room fell silent immediately afterward. His chest rose and fell heavily, his jaw clenched so tightly that I thought he might crack a tooth. I folded my arms across my chest.“Then what exactly am I supposed to do?” I demanded. “Stay locked up here forever because your ex-wife is insane?”His eyes flashed. “Don’t.”“Don’t what?”“Don’t twist my words.”I laughed bitterly. “Oh, I’m twisting them?” I gestured around us. “This place is practically a prison. And you don’t want me to leave!”“Cecilia.”“No.” I shook my head. “I want an answer.”The frustration that had been building inside me since we left Barbados finally spilled over. “I spent four years running.” My voice cracked slightly. “I spent four years protecting my children.”His gaze immediately sharpened at the word children. I ignored it and continued. “Now you’re telling me that because Brittany found me, I’m supposed to become your prisoner?”Something flickered across his face. Guilt. It appeared for only a second befor
Poison me softly Chapter 92: Justice Wouldn't Happen
“Oh.”Was all that slipped out of me.Stanley’s expression was thunderous. “You remember.”After all these years, I thought what I’d done would forever stay buried. But somehow his brother knew what I did.But how? And how did he know where I was?Stanley shouts, breaking my train of thoughts. “After killing my brother, you go around frolicking and living with some rich guy.”Before I can speak up, Jude is on him, delivering a punch to his nose.“Ahhh!” The man groans in pain, rocking the chair he’s tied to, backwards. It tumbles to the floor, along with him. Jude steps back, still seething. “You have lot of nerve, insulting her after what I did to you.”I step forward, and reached for his arm. He goes rigid, before he visibly relaxes. “Jude, it’s okay.”Despite his now broken nose, Stanley laughs from the floor. “Of course, it’s going to be okay! That woman was right. You’re living the life without any guilt.”I’m about to open my mouth, and speak, not knowing what exactly I want t
