CHAPTER FORTY

Jessie was confused, she knew something had to be wrong with Chase. He seemed frigid at their wedding reception when he was all smiles and compliments for her during the wedding ceremony.It was time for their first dance as a couple and Chase seemed so stiff and unwilling to go through with it as to moved to the dancefloor."Are you sure you're alright, babe? You seem a bit off since the beginning of the reception," she asked as they glided across the room.The music was one they both chose together. They had danced to it a number of times already and it was Chase's favourite, so it was surprising to her that Chase was so uninterested in dancing to it.After a full minute of not replying, he gave her an icy glare, as he replied, "I'm fine, I just want us to get this over with. I have some questions for you.""Why do you sound and look that way?""What way?" He asked through clenched teeth."Like you're mad or something. You keep clenching and unclenching your teeth.

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE

They had just arrived at Chase's father's mansion. They were expected to spend the night there before leaving for Paris the next morning for their honeymoon.When Jessie realised that Paris was their honeymoon destination, she was surprised because it was something Chase had kept a secret. She was very happy to know that he thought of taking her to her hometown.She would have been the happiest woman alive had it not been for the fact that her husband was so mad at her that he barely even looked at her throughout the entire drive from the Cavelli Hotel where the reception was held to his father's mansion.Her husband, did she just think of Chase as her husband, but of course he was her husband after all.

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO

VANESSA'S POVI called Mary to ask about the task, I gave her and she answered almost immediately."Ms Vanessa, the task was done accurately. Ms Lavigne loves sweet things, she ate the cake and finished the drink without suspecting anything. The smoothie she had this morning also contained peaches.""That's very good. I knew I could trust you. It's so unfortunate, Jessie thought that she could still be with Chase even after he knows what she did. She will be dead, long before Chase even understands what's wrong with her. It would be the worst honeymoon ever," I laughed."It is such a relief to know that Jessie would finally leave the picture. I had tried everything, pushed her into the pool, badmouthed her to Chase, sent her ex, Jacques to keep bugging her, but now, injecting all the food and drinks she had with peach extract is finally going to do the job,""I'm a bit scared Ms Vanessa, what if Mr Reed finds out about my role in all these? Everyone knows that I was the person in charg

THE NEXT MORNINGThe police car pulled up at Chase's mansion. Two officers alongside Pierre and Olivier got out of the car and into the house."What is going on Desmond? Why is the police here?" Octavia asked in her heavy Brazilian accent."Is Mary in?" Desmond queried, impatiently."Yes, she's just about leaving for her vacation. Why do you ask? Is Mrs Reed alright now? I was so worried the entire night.""Yes, she's getting better. It turns out that Mary was the one behind Mrs Reed's condition," he replied."Oh my God! That's not possible, Mary is such a sweet girl, she'd never do such a thing," Octavia replied, terrified at the news."Ma'am we do not have all day, we need to get Ms Mary to the station for questioning," the female officer said, impatiently."Okay, her room is on the last floor.""Alright, let's go in. She must have heard our siren. She might try to get away now," the other officer said."Okay, let's go," came Desmond.When they got up to the last floor of the buildin

FOUR MONTHS LATER"Oh my God, it's the Cavelli Hotel!" Jessie exclaimed as she and Chase got out of their car at the hotel's entrance."Yes, my darling. I told you I'll make our time here in Paris, unforgettable. How best to do that than starting right from the beginning? We met here for the first time, remember?" Chase smiled, holding her hand in his.The valet took care of their car as they walked in. They had arrived in Paris the previous night for their two week-long honeymoon and had stayed at Jessie's family house until this morning.Jessie had no clue whatsoever that they were going to spend their honeymoon at Cavelli Hotel.After she was discharged four months ago, Chase had been like a bodyguard, monitoring her every movement and tasting all her meals before she took them.
