All Chapters of Poison me softly : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The vendor coughed rather loudly, making Jude and I pull apart. Jude looked at me, and neither of us said anything for a moment. The charged energy between us wasn’t disrupted by the man’s intrusion. Rather, I felt even more drawn to Jude, and a heady need, fighting my rationality. Without a word, we walked back to the car, side by side, with the large yellow toy tucked under my arm and the stuffed shark bumping against my leg.Nobody said anything the entire ride back.When we got to the manor, Jude did not go to his wing.He walked with me to my room, and when I opened my door I did not tell him not to follow, and he followed.I was not entirely certain whether I locked the door behind us because his hand was already at my waist and his other hand was moving into my hair.It no longer mattered whether the door was locked, because I was swept up by his lips on mine, hands roaming my body.And in the blink of an eyes, our clothes came tumbling unto the floor, and we moved to the be

“The Madam told me to switch out the poison.”For a moment I genuinely cannot breathe properly and can only stare at her. “What?” I exclaim.Mae swallows.“She gave me new instructions this morning.” Her voice lowers further. “The dosage you have been giving him was too slow for her liking.”Cold moves through my body.“She wants something stronger?” I ask.Mae nods once.“She already prepared it herself.”For several seconds, I simply look at her. My brain struggles to fully process what she is saying because hearing Brittany casually discuss murdering her husband feels surreal even though I already know that is exactly what she has been trying to do all along.But this feels different.Before, the poison had been slow enough that symptoms could be explained away as exhaustion or stress or illness.Now Brittany wanted something faster.Something lethal.“She said the current treatment is becoming inefficient,” Mae says carefully. “Her exact words were that delays are becoming dange

I gasp instinctively against the palm.An arm wraps around my waist immediately afterward, dragging me backward violently into darkness.I kick, but the person is too strong to let go, and my screams die against the hand covering my mouth.Panic explodes through me completely.I’m hauled off roughly from the ground. “Stop fighting.” A rough voice hisses into my ear.I bite down hard on the hand covering my mouth. And the man curses violently.“You b*tch!”For one second his grip loosens enough that I twist sharply trying to break free.But another figure appears ahead suddenly, grabbing my arms before I can run.“No.” I whisper in terror.I’m bundled up and hijacked through the dark corridors. And in less than a minute, I’m outside and abducted in their black van.They take out my phone, and throw it out on the road. The van begins to move. My hand and feet are tied, and I’m kept in the back, between two figures.Then one of them reaches forward, bringing forth a small pouch of pow

The chandelier came down in pieces.“Down.” He said to the two guards flanking him on the stage, and they moved immediately because they had been trained to move on his voice before their own instincts.The ballroom erupted.Screaming the crowd began to stampede. Jude’s security team tried to control the situation to no avail. Rich people only feared death. All their wealth and affluence couldn’t protect them from the possible danger of being shot by the masked gunmen. But Jude was unfazed. He walked through the chaos, and towards the area where the gunshots were coming from.Boom! Boom!A bullet hit the wall, somewhere away from the ceiling. “They’re not aiming for anyone.” Jude observed under his breath. Roman fell into step beside him, handing his boss a gun.“Someone is trying to distract us.” Roman says, confirming what Jude suspected. “What is the exact location of the gunmen?” Jude asks, loading his gun.“The right side of the hall.”“Send some men to the other side.
