Semua Bab The Good Wife.: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Eve “Oh, that's not yours, that's meant for Sinclair” I added in a considerably lower voice. I walked to Bill despite the suspicious stares I got and continued, “I added some soda water to it because Sinclair loves to drink red wine that way,” I lied, and carefully took the glass from him and handed him another one. Maybe I shouldn't have laced it when everyone was having a drink too, I thought, and took a mental note. I couldn't have this happen again. What if Bill and, worse still, Wilfred take it? No no no… I need to be more careful. I didn't want anybody to die on my hands, even if that person was Sinclair. I just needed him to be unable to fight back for the company for a short time while I transfer everything to my name.“Oh, yeah… that is true. Thank you for remembering, sweetheart” Sinclair replied after a few painful seconds. His reply seemed to whisk all their suspicions away and I subtly breathed out in relief. They all went back to their movie as if nothing had happened;

Eve “Hello, were you able to see it?” I asked the person on the other end of the phone.“Yes, but only half of it. It says Transfer of temporary ownership… something along those lines” she said.“Alright. Thank you, Jasmine, you did well” I replied and hung up the phone. I found it cute how Sinclair thought he could sneak into the office and I wouldn't know about it. I had eyes everywhere, so immediately he stepped out of the house, I was already tracking his movement.Jasmine had called me to inform me that he had just entered his office, and I instructed her to devise whatever means possible to see what he had come to take. She impressed me by getting the job done a few minutes later, and I just found out Sinclair went to take the transfer papers that were probably signed between him and my father. It was exactly what I wanted to see but how do I take it from him?I guessed my questioning yesterday had made him apprehensive and paranoid, so much so that he had to go retrieve those

Eve(After Sinclair left)I opened my mouth to stop Sinclair from leaving but shut it seconds later because he had left hastily.Darn it! I had already laced his meal with the poison and was just about to set the table. This was the first time he missed his dose, I will have to make up for it in the evening.I sighed and returned to the kitchen so I could dispose of his plate before someone ate it unaware.As if on cue, I walked into the kitchen to see Wilfred eating out of Sinclair's plate. My eyes widened in alarm, and I was too frozen to move. It took everything in me not to scream at her to drop it.Upon noticing my entrance, she turned and said to me with a smile, “Hello dear, I woke up starving and the aroma of food brought me to the kitchen, I'll just take this to go if you don't mind” The color on my face drained and I felt weak in the knees. What have I done?“What’s wrong dear? You look ghastly pale, are you not well?” She came closer to me with concern and placed the back

EveA week later, the funeral party of Mrs Wilfred was being held at Sinclair's mansion. Sinclair had built a small house at the back of the mansion where her body would be buried. We were currently gathered around the building and the priest was saying a few words before she was taken in. We were all dressed in black and the atmosphere was solemn and sad.I heard Sinclair sniffle beside me and I placed my hand on his shoulder to offer my comfort. For the past week, Sinclair's has been in mourning. Friends and coworkers trooped in after the other to offer their condolences. So many nights, sleep refused to come while sometimes I woke up to Sinclair weeping and staring absentmindedly at nothing. As for Bill, he was barely at the house, always outside in the small funeral house where his wife would be laid to rest. He was quiet and withdrawn, I wasn't sure I had heard his voice for days.They both barely ate, and I couldn't either. Apart from what had happened in the kitchen, I didn't d

Eve“I’m sorry, Eve. Our dad never wanted us to meet and I thought I should still honor his wishes. Plus after Sinclair took everything back, he made sure to send people after me to completely silence me. I had no choice but to leave the country and try to get back on my feet. I struggled alone a lot, dearest sister, but the minute that I found out he married you, I was livid.I tried to interfere but Sinclair found out and sent people after me again so I could only watch in the shadows till I had enough to use in countering him. When I saw you trying to get your revenge on him, I was most pleased, and I vowed to make sure nothing stands in your way. It was perfect because he would never see you coming and I would be able to support you from the shadows. You are going to get revenge for both of us, Eve” he said.I was alarmed to hear that he knew so much, I thought my revenge plan was tight on secrecy. Or did Richard tell him?As if he could read my thoughts, he added after a short pa
