Overtaking Mira's place

"Okay, we really need to be extra careful here," John said as he looked inside from the window, but there was no one. He tried opening the door, but it was locked.

"Do you know where Mr Thompson's room is?" John asked.

"No, I don't. I've never been here, aside from when I was called for that dumb interview." Astrid said.

"Look, you'd have to be as quiet as possible," he said as he opened the door and pulled Astrid inside.

Astrid was amazed with the interior designs. The house looked glass-like and was really big. Her house wasn't compared to this. She was amazed, but you know she couldn't expect less from a billionaire.

They were spotted by the family maid, Lydia, but John simply placed his finger on his lips, and she nodded because she understood what was going on.

He snuck her until he got to the door to Andrew's room, but it was locked too. He quickly pulled out his keys, unlocked the door, and pushed Astrid inside, then locked the door.

Just then, Mrs. Thompson appeared. "John, what are you doing here?" she asked.

"Mister Thompson wasn't feeling well, so I brought an antidote."

"He is fine; he doesn't need any medication. Give it to time" Mrs Thompson said.

" I have already given it to Mr Thompson." John replied politely

Mrs. Thompson glared hard at him and left, which made John smile.

As he walked away, when Astrid was pushed in, she loved the room, the way the room looked, the arrangement—everything was intact. But it was much more black in the room, which was odd. She's sure that everything here cost a fortune, but there was no sign of Andrew.

She checked the toilet, and he wasn't there. She decided to take a peek because the bathroom would be the last place he would be in if he's in his room.

She saw him inside the bathtub, and cold water was pouring on him. Cold water was pouring on him, and he wasn't moving.

Astrid's mind drifted, and wondered if he had committed suicide.

So she went inside to check. She turned off the water and Andrew opened his eyes.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

"Didn't you ask John to bring me here?" Astrid asked

"Why am I here?" she asked again when he didn't say anything

"Get me a towel," he said.

Astrid stretched and picked up the towel so he would leave the water.

"Why am I here?" she asked again.

"I was drugged," he said, making Astrid smile.

"What's funny, Andrew?" he asked in an annoyed tone.

"Nothing; I mean, their plan was quite effective, don't you think?"

"I didn't touch Mira," he said sharply.

As he left the bathroom, Astrid followed him.

"That means she needs a child. You know, your mother needs a grandchild to keep her busy," Astrid said with a smile.

But Andrew didn't answer her.

"How are you feeling now?" she asked as she traced her fingers lightly on his back, making him shiver, which meant he was still affected by the drug.

He squeezed the shirt he was trying to wear, but he couldn't hold on any longer.

Her touch was intoxicating, not to mention her flirty language.

"Do you need me?" she asked in a whisper.

Andrew didn't say anything. He dropped the shirt and pulled her in for a kiss.

Mira came with a bowl of hot soup prepared by the maid. She planned to give it to him, at least so she can check on him, but she couldn't believe what she heard.

She heard Astrid's voice, Astrid's moans.

She squeezed the tray,she hated Astrid. Astrid didn't have to do anything to be in his arms, but she—no matter what she did, Andrew always saw Astrid.

Tonight, she was the one who was meant to be in Andrew's arms. She was the one meant to scream his name, but Astrid took her place.

Astrid knows that Andrew is meant for her, but she keeps getting in my way. This made Mira annoyed and makes her more determined to get rid of all obstacles, even if it means dealing with her one and only biological sister.

Mira went to the kitchen to return the bowl of soup.

"What did he say, Mrs Thompson?" asked Mira.

Mira beat her lips and forced fake tears out of her eyes.

"He's sleeping with Astrid," she said.

And Mrs Thompson was confused because she didn't see Astrid anywhere.

Mira sniffed and continued.

"I heard Astrid's voice in his room"

Then it sank in. She understood everything.

JOHN - the antidote he brought was that brat Astrid.

"It's okay darling,don't cry. Andrew's only using her and he'll dump her soon. You belong to Andrew forever okay." Mrs Thompson said as she comforted Mira.

Mrs Thompson woke up extra early and went to Andrew's door and tried to open it but it was still locked which meant that there were still inside she took a chair and decided to sit some distance away from their door and wait for them to come out so they will explain what's going on between both of them she didn't ask the family maid to do it because the family maid would let them slide away and would only end up apologizing she couldn't ask Mira to do it because Mira cried all night so she will need to rest John...tsk,he wasn't worth trusting again after he spoiled her plan last night she started waiting but there was no sign of him she was feeling sleepy so she prepared a cup of coffee for herself she brought out her tablet to keep her busy.

While waiting it was six AM and he didn't come out of his room his room was quiet it was unlike Andrew to be asleep by six AM but she waited six thirty AM he still wasn't out she started wondering what was wrong with Andrew or maybe he left really early like before she woke up she was about to give up but when she saw John driving in which meant that John is here to take him to work that means he's still inside so she sat back down and waited.

"Ma'am breakfast is ready" the maid told her for the third time but she dismissed the maid again for the third time again .

7 AM and Andrew still isn't out now negative thoughts began to crowd her mind maybe that witch Astrid killed him last night,she eavesdropped on his room but it was quiet she probably killed him and jumped through the window but it was too high she would lose her life if she jumped or maybe she sneaked out at night she started feeling restless for her only son because he is meant to continue their lineage he can't die like this who would take all that he and his father worked for instead of calling a lock smith but she reconsidered it and she knew that this was why she never liked Astrid in the first place
