An Unexpected Backfire

JEZEBEL’S POV

It was evening, and I was enjoying a cup of tea, to myself while I fixed my eyes on the TV. A sweet sensation overwhelmed me, starting from my stomach, and I cozied up to the pillows on the sofa as the passing breeze left me with goosebumps.

Then I felt Max’ presence, and saw the maids hurrying into the hallway which led to the living room. I dropped my legs down, and placed my cup of tea on the table, waiting for him to pop out.

And when he did, I saw him with Daisy. 

I rose to my feet, and wore a smile on my face as that would be one of the things that would get me off the suspect list, should in case of any issue, rise up.

“Welcome, Daisy. You look much better.” I uttered, and grinned as my eyes drifted from her to Max, and then back to her.

“Thanks.” She responded softly, without making eye contact with me.
