Angela sat in a dimly lit corner of the local pub, her back pressed against the worn leather booth, as she awaited the arrival of Gina, the middle–aged chef employed at Kayden and Marlene’s mansion. The air hummed with the low murmur of conversation and the clink of glasses, which made this place the perfect meeting spot for her.

As Gina approached, Angela’s eyes met hers with a silent urgency, a small vial clutched tightly in her hand. With a subtle nod, Angela quickly passed the vial to Gina, not bothering to exchange pleasantries.

“Are you sure you can do this without getting caught?” Angela’s voice held a note of caution as she broached the question.

Gina’s response was swift, a scoff escaping her lips as she dismissed Angela’s concerns with a wave of her hand. “Don’t worry about me. I know exactly what needs to be done,” she replied, a hint of steely resolve underlying her words as she reassured Angela of her capabilities.

In a calculated reminder of their agreement, Angela reiterated the specifics of their plan. “All you need to do is slip in two drops of the content in this vial into Marlene’s food or drink, and once it’s done, don’t forget to dispose of the rest far away from the mansion,” she instructed.

Gina nodded, the expression on her face confident. “As long as you keep your end of the bargain and

pay

me on time, consider it done,” she affirmed, a note of finality in her tone.

All she cared about was getting paid, and if it was at the expense of that overbearing brat who was her boss, then she didn’t mind at all.

Curiosity piqued, and Gina sought clarification on how quickly the dosage she was tasked with administering would work once she did what she had to do. “Will the effects show immediately?” she inquired.

Angela’s response was med as she responded. “It will take a few hours before she starts to feel

the effects. Also, keep in mind that it is not easily detectable, especially when consumed with food or a drink that isn’t water, so you have nothing to worry about because there’ll be no evidence at all she reassured Gina..

After one final assurance from Angela, the two women exchanged a satisfied look before parting ways. Gina left first, while Angela waited behind, eager to hear the news that Marlene had lost her child.

Marlene quivered with anger as she stood in the dining room of her home, a storm brewing in her blue eyes as she berated the kitchen servants for the small stain she had discovered on her lunch plate. Her

voice rang out like a whip, sharp and cutting, as she unleashed her anger on the trembling staff.

“You incompetent fools! How dare you serve me a meal on a stained plate? Have you no respect for the standards of this household? Are you trying to kill me?” Marlene’s voice boomed through the room.

As she continued to yell, a sharp pain sliced through her abdomen like a dagger, cutting through the haze of her anger and piercing her with a sense of unease. Her hand instinctively moved to cradle her swollen belly, her heart hammering in her chest as a wave of panic washed over her, and the fear of something being wrong with her unborn child tightened its grip around her heart.

For about an hour now, she hasn’t stopped feeling a persistent ache gnawing at her stomach. Despite the doctor’s assurances just days prior that her baby was in good health, doubt crept into her mind, clouding her thoughts with a haze of worry. Still, she clung to the hope that everything would be fine and that the pain was simply a natural part of her pregnancy journey.

Ignoring the insistent twinges in her belly, Marlene’s tirade against the servants escalated, her harsh words echoing off the walls of the dining room. Amid her heated scolding, another wave of gripped Marlene’s stomach, this time more intense and searing than before.

agony

A gasp escaped her lips, her features contorting with the sudden onslaught of pain that brought her to her senses.

With a dismissive wave of her hand, Marlene sent the servants scattering, their hasty retreat barely registering in her mind as she focused on the growing turmoil in her. Pushing herself to her feet with a tremor of dread coursing through her veins, she’d made a shaky attempt to find her way to her room, thinking a little rest would make the pain go away.

As she took each painful step, a chilling sensation spread through her, a trickle of warmth sliding down her legs. Panic etched itself across her features, her eyes widening with horror as she dared to glance down, her breath catching in her throat at the sight of crimson dripping down her legs staining her dress.

to rush to Marlene’s aid.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Kayden’s heart clenched with dread and confusion as he rushed towards the dining room.

As Kayden burst into the room, the sight that greeted him took him by surprise. Marlene’s body was on the floor, pale and unconscious, while she was surrounded by the concerned faces of the servants. Panic surged through Kayden as he fell to his knees at her side, his hands trembling as he gently cradled her still form, his heart pounding in his chest.

“My love, can you hear me?” Kayden’s voice trembled slightly as he sought any response from her. Wher he didn’t get any response, he’d immediately carry her in his arms, rushing her into the car and urging the driver to get to the hospital as quickly as possible.

When Marlene’s eyes finally fluttered open, she found herself in a stark hospital room, Panic seized

her heart, her chest rising and falling in rapid breaths as she scanned the room in search of a familiar face.

Recalling what had happened to her earlier, she sat up abruptly, her voice a choked whisper as she called out for Kayden.

Just as her panic threatened to consume her, the door swung open with a rush of movement, and Kayden walked into the room, his face etched with confusion and weariness. “Marlene, what’s wrong? Why are you yelling?”

Marlene’s eyes brimmed with unshed tears as she quickly grabbed Kayden’s arm. “Where is the doctor Is our baby okay? What happened to me?”

Kayden held on to Marlene, trying to calm the storm of emotions that he knew was raging in her.

“Marlene, please, you need to calm down. You’re not in good condition right now,” he reminded her.

Ignoring Kayden’s words, Marlene’s panic escalated, her desperation driving her to frantically demand answers on the well–being of their child.

“I said, Where’s the doctor, and how’s our baby doing?” she snapped desperately, trying not to think the worst, despite the look Kayden had on his face.

With a heavy sigh. Kayden met Marlene’s tear–streaked gaze before bowing his head slightly. He’d look into Marlene’s eyes before breaking the truth to her at once.

“Babe, I… I’m so sorry, but you… you suffered a miscarriage, and we lost the child,” he informed her, and Marlene almost couldn’t believe what she heard.

Her heart clenched in pain, a knot of anguish tightening in her chest as the reality of his words settled in like a dagger to the heart.

“No… no, that can’t be true,” Marlene’s voice cracked with denial. “You’re lying to me, Kayden. The doctors must be mistaken. Our baby can’t be gone. It’s just not possible!”

“I’m so sorry, babe, but the doctors said you had a few unexpected complications, and that led to the death of the baby,” Kayden confirmed again, and even though he didn’t think he felt as hurt as Marlene was, he still felt a strong sense of loss that felt very unfamiliar to him.
