The sitting room was warm and cozy, filled with the sound of laughter and chatter as the ladies sat around gossiping over men on a magazine. Laura really knew a thing or two about each one of them millionaires, she used to live the club life so she had met a lot of these people.Before her alcohol days, Laura was quite the party girl, the one with the good bad vibes. She was not a whore but she was quite rotten and had done a lot of nasty things. She had even attempted drugs once and forced her father’s hand into shutting down the club and hunting down her supplier before she could get addicted to that stuff.“Sorry guys, you will have to excuse me for a few seconds, I need to use the bathroom,” Jenny said with a smile and stood up from the couch.“Yeah sure, we will be here when you come back.” Anna smiled. “I should look into our next Mr. Hot,” she said. Hanging out with the ladies of the Gray family had changed her a lot, she wasn’t that naïve innocent girl anymore, she enjoyed nas
Laura lay on the hospital bed, unconscious, as her family members stood in the waiting hall, anxiously waiting for any news. Stephen had rushed to the hospital straight from a meeting, his face contorted with worry. Mrs. Gray had arrived from the nail salon, her perfectly manicured nails forgotten as she fretted about her daughter’s health. Mr. Gray was not able to join them yet as he had traveled out of town, but he was expected to return that night and it was getting dark already.Anna and Jenny were also present, but while Jenny paced back and forth, trying to keep her cool, Anna was lost in thought, wondering what could have happened to Laura. Why was she sick?The female doctor approached them with a solemn expression, and they gathered around her eagerly, hoping for some good news. "Laura had ingested poison," the doctor reported, her voice grave. "But the good news is that it wasn't strong enough to kill her. She will recover from it."The family members let out a collective s
Stephen walks towards Jenny as she sits in the waiting room, her thoughts consumed by the recent events. As he approaches her, her heart starts racing, wondering if he has discovered her role in the poisoning incident. Her fear subsides when he asks if he could make a call with her phone because he had left his own behind in the car.Jenny hesitates at first, almost offering to go bring his phone, but then she realizes that it would be insensitive to do so at a time like this."Sure," she said, handing him her phone. "Is everything okay?"Stephen nodded. "Yeah, it's just a work thing. I forgot my phone in the car. Thanks for letting me use yours."Stephen takes Jenny's phone and dials a number, his eyes fixed on her as he waits for the call to connect. Jenny can't help but feel nervous under his intense gaze, her mind racing with possibilities of what he might have discovered.She couldn't help but wonder why he had chosen her phone out of everyone else's in the waiting room. Was ther
Jenny leaned against the wall, her eyes glued to Anna’s bedroom door as Stephen exited the room in the dark. She watched him walk down the hallway, his steps echoing softly in the silent night. A wave of frustration washed over her as she realized that her plan had only brought them closer together. Accidentally poisoning Laura had only made Anna and Stephen more protective of each other and given them more reasons to meet behind closed doors; she couldn’t help but wonder what they had discussed behind the door.But Jenny knew that she couldn't give up. She had to make sure that Anna was out of the picture before Laura returned. She had to carry out her plan, no matter what it took. As she thought about her next move, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt. She had never intended for anyone else to get hurt, she just wanted Anna out of their lives.Jenny took a deep breath and tried to calm her nerves. She knew that Laura was the only one who could see through her façade, and sh
The person responsible for Laura’s condition right now… Is none other than my supposed future wife, Jenny!!” Stephen announced suddenly and turned to face her.“Huh?” Jenny muttered with jaws apart, wearing an innocent face immediately. She was trying to understand why he would accuse her. It can't be possible that he knows? How did he know? There was no way he could have found out.Stephen's announcement hangs in the air like a heavy cloud, causing the room to go silent for a few moments. The family members are staring at him in disbelief, their expressions a mix of shock and confusion. Stephen can't be serious! Jenny poisoned Laura?"What are you talking about, Stephen?" Mr. Gray finally breaks the silence, his voice quivering with emotion.“Yeah, what are you saying?” Mrs. Gray added to that of her husband. There was doubt and disbelief written on their face, obviously they didn’t believe Stephen’s words or they were hoping it didn’t mean what it sounded like.Stephen takes a deep
Jenny's heart skipped a beat as Stephen pointed to the door and the maid who had served the drinks to the three of them the previous day walked in trembling with fear. The maid's face was pale and her hands were shaking uncontrollably. Her eyes darted around the room, and she looked like she wanted to bolt out of the house. Everyone in the room turned to look at her, their eyes fixed on her curiously as if she held the key to unlocking a great mystery.Mr. Gray spoke first, his voice low and measured. "What is the meaning of this, Stephen? What is the maid doing here?"Anna, who had been quiet for a while now, spoke up. "This is the maid who served us the glasses of juice right before Laura collapsed. Do you think she knows something?" she askedStephen's eyes never left Jenny's face. "Not just something, Anna. She is an accomplice to the crime. She helped Jenny pass the poisoned juice to my sister." He spat with gritted teethJenny's hands trembled as she took a step back, but she qu
The doctor takes a deep breath before she speaks, her eyes scanning the room before finally settling on Stephen. "The sample you sent me matched the poison found in Laura's blood," she says, her voice solemn. A gasp escapes from the family members' lips, and Stephen feels a sense of relief wash over him that his suspicions were finally confirmed.Jenny's eyes widened in disbelief. "What?" she whispers, taking a step back. "That's not possible."Stephen steps forward, holding up a small vial of liquid. "I found this in her purse this morning while she was out jogging," he says, his voice steady. "I suspected it was the poison used on Laura, so I sent it to the doctor for confirmation."Stephen's revelation sends chills down her spine as she realizes that this was the end for her.She looks at Stephen with disbelief, "You set me up! How could you do this to me?" Her voice trembles as tears stream down her face. "You could have just told me that you didn't love me anymore instead of frami
Stephen walks down the hallway towards Anna's room, his footsteps echoing in the silence of the now quiet house. Everybody was too traumatized to speak or act, it was a Sunday and his parents who were quite religious had no plans of attending the Sunday service, note like it bothered him, he didn’t believe in the concept of God anyway.Stephen stops in front of her door and takes a deep breath before knocking gently. He can't help but wonder how Anna was feeling after everything that happened. She was probably traumatized by learning of a plan to kill her child, a baby she had carried for four months. He expected her to be pretty shaken up by that. After a moment, Anna's voice calls out, giving him permission to enter.He steps into the room, taking in the sight of Anna sitting on the edge of her bed as usual, her face buried in her hands. “Hey, I just wanted to come up here and apologize to you for all the drama down there moments back. I know it must have got you panicking, and I mu
