ARGONI didn't expect Brielle to take this celebration seriously, but she marveled me.I woke up to see my servants following her around to make arrangements for my day. All I did was watch from above the stairs, as she gave orders, sending each servants to handle different tasks."Get fresh apples and you get the flour set. Tania, you'll assist me in the kitchen," She ordered, heading for the kitchen while the servants went to carry out their work.All what she was doing, left me feeling strange at Brielle's new side. I just couldn't look away from her point."It seems you got to speak to her, " Jerome said, standing next to me.I had sensed his presence close but didn't bother turning to look until he was standing beside me."How did you do it? Was it a long conversation or a short one? " He asked, curiously.I just swayed my head at Jerome, answering his question, "We didn't have a proper conversation.""Really? Then... How did you get her to organize all these? I thought you warne
ESTELLE"You poisoned this drink!" I stood my ground.I know what I had seen in the kitchen while looking for Argon, and I know I am not imagining things.Argon has been avoiding me since the party started. He refused to give me an answer to my questions.I ended up roaming around the mansion, looking for him. That's when I spotted Brielle in the kitchen, staring at two glasses and a wine in her hand.I would have just walked away and ignored her, but the sight of this wine held me in my track.The wine she was holding was Argon's favorite. That made me realize that she was actually planning to pour a drink for herself and Argon.Raged with the fact that she stole my moment of spending this day with Argon, I wanted to storm into the kitchen and put her in her place, only for me to see her pulling out a small bottle containing a green substance, and turning it into one of the glasses.I was stunned!I ha
BRIELLE"What's wrong with her?" Tania asked, standing next to me, right behind a pillar.I watched Estelle racing out of the mansion with speed. Her face filled with tears, trying to hide it away from the servants.But even if she tries to hide it, I've already seen and heard the argument between her and Argon."She called us mad? No problem, we'll see who the crazy one is very soon, " Bane chuckled in her deep voice, bringing satisfaction to my heart.She said she saw me placing poison in Argon's drink. But how can she prove it when I drank both drinks before her and Argon?But still... She wasn't wrong.Indeed I poisoned Argon's drink to achieve my goal. Like Argon said, killing two birds with one stone. That was my actual goal.I had seen how Estelle was moving about like a maniac, trying to sniff Argon out from his hiding place.I could already sense his presence at the terrace, so I decided to cook up a nice scheme. One that should favor me greatly.With the poison made with my
ESTELLE"Why won't you tell me what happened at Argon's place? Speak to me, dear," Father pleaded, sitting right next to me.I laid in bed, crying my eyes out. I was too hurt to tell my father what occurred, because I don't want him marching down to Argon's home and causing a scene.Daddy loves me. He can't bear to see his little princess shedding tears. But this princess can't bear to see her father fighting with her prince.He carefully pulled me up to sit by his side, wrapping his arms around me with care."Tell me, did that wretched woman harm you? Did Argon say anything to hurt your feelings?" He asked, sounding vexed.I swayed my head and said to father, "It was just a small issue.""Small issue, like what? " He asked, showing his desperation in the situation.Sniffing once again, I answered my father, giving him a different response just to hide the main answer. "Argon wants a break from our relationship. He wants an alone time to himself," I shared, revealing Argon's decision.
ESTELLE"Where did you see it, Dad? Did she attack you as well?" I asked, feeling my body temperature rising.Now I can prove to Argon that I wasn't lying that day. There's indeed a wolf with green eyes.Expecting something helpful from my father, this old man came out laughing!I was confused and also offended by his sudden outburst."Green eyes? Is this some kind of prank? " He asked, still cackling and holding his stomach.I don't believe this man. I thought he had seen the wolf before."Estelle, you got me. Nice way to prank your old man at his age," He chuckled, patting my head.But my frustration got the best of me."Dad, I'm serious!" With annoyance, I yanked his hand off my head, pointing at the areas the wolf had stepped."There's a green eyed wolf in the mansion! I swear to the goddess! She was here! Try sniffing again." I kept pointing at the spots. Father didn't want to take me seriously. Still, he did as I wanted and took a sniff. And just like the first result, he didn'
ARGON"Thank you very much. I am grateful," I appreciated the man I was talking to over the phone, before ending the call.My face cause engulfing with smiles, seeing a great opportunity coming for me.I wouldn't be rejoicing by now, if not for what happened yesterday, here at the office.Yesterday, at around seven in the morning, I came to the office to meet up with my business partners. They had called me over for a meeting.I thought the gathering was about expanding our business and increasing the sales of the market, but I was wrong.They only came over to end things with me, and I couldn't allow that to happen, not when I'm in desperate need of their help."We can't continue with this, Argon! Your bad reputation is beginning to affect us!""We only agreed to stay back because of the relationship we shared with your father, but we're sorry. Your bad image is giving our business a bad name as well.""If we stay any longer, we'll be ruined. So, we have to end it here.""Please, pl
ARGON"How is she?" Jerome asked.I had stepped out of Estelle's room to answer my Beta's call. It was already late and he needed to know how things were going."She's getting better. All she needs is rest and more care, " I shared with Jerome, stealing one glance into the room.Estelle was already sleeping while the maid sat next to the bed, watching over her."That's good.""Yeah, we're happy that she's all better.""Still, I'm surprised she tried to end her life. Did Alpha Deron tell you why? " He asked.Sighing out, I drew away from the room so I could talk to my Beta without any interruption."Well, according to him, it's because of Brielle's presence. You know how Estelle gets whenever she sees Brielle, even when she doesn't bother us. Alpha Deron believes her presence in my home is what led Estelle to commit such an act.""For real?""Yeah, and now he wants me to get rid of her for Estelle's sake." I drew further away from the room."Will you do as he wants?" Jerome asked.I sc
ARGON"You gave her a gift, didn't you? " Jerome questioned me.I was standing on the terrace when he came over to know what had happened in Brielle's room. He had seen me leaving with a long face."It was just a flower.""Yeah, a gift.""But it was technically a plant, a green rose flower.""It's still a gift.""It's... It's not a gift. Just a plant that I saw and bought for Brielle." I shrugged, trying to justify myself.But Jerome hummed at my words and said, "Definitely a gift. This is why I said you shouldn't give her anything but try to be her friend instead.""Yeah right. Instead of getting friendship, she accepted the flower and told me straight to the face that she doesn't want to be friends with me, " I shared what had happened to my Beta. "Wait, she accepted the gift?" He asked, looking stunned.I nodded, wondering why his eyes came bulging out like that.That's wh
