1 poured the rest into Edith’s glass, nearly spilling it over the brim. She quickly took two sips.
I watched, my heart racing
There was no virus or germ on my end–Thadn’t even taken a sip.
But what about the drug she’d spiked in my drink? I had no idea what it was–or its effect.
Yes, I was feeling uneasy. But then again, if anything happened, it would be her own fault. She did this to herself!
While she answered Edward’s call, I texted Cherry, asking: ber to call me in ten minutes with an excuse- something urgent at the company. I had about five or six mutes left.
Edith was still fuming. She gulped down more orange juice and continued her tirade. “Do you ever look at yourself and feel disgusted by the failure you’ve become?
“You had a hand in your sister’s death. You sent your own dad to jail. I heard you cornered your stepmother.
“And now you want to divorce a man who’s done nothing but remain faithful to you. What do you think you’ll gain from all this? Do you see how alone you are?”
Inodded. “Oh, you’re right. I didn’t realize how amazing I am for pulling off all of that alone!”
Edith was so enraged she could hardly speak.
My phone rang. “Hello, Cherry? No, I’m not at my workshop. What? Mr. Young can’t manage it? He’s away? Damn. I’m coming!”
I rose. “Sorry, duty calls. Thanks for the meal.”
“You’re leaving already?! But you’ve hardly eaten anything!‘ she protested.
I ignored her and headed toward the exit.
I could hear Edith frantically calling for the bill.
As soon as I stepped outside, she caught up with me, breathing heavily. “My brother is coming to take you to the office! Wait for him!”
“Why?” I asked.
“So you two can talk! He loves you! You can’t just divorce him!” she replied, her voice firm.
I was stunned. So that was her plan? To drug me and offer me to Edward, so we’d have sex without my consent?
What the hell was wrong with the Kennedys? How could they come up with something like this to stop the annulment process?!
I fought to keep my rage in check. “No way. Not even God can stop me from divorcing him!”
Suddenly, Edith winced and pressed her hand to her chest, her breath shallow.
I watched her, alarmed.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
She winced again. “How… It should have been her…”
“What?” Tasked, confused.

She suddenly glared at me. “You! You… Did you…
I already knew what was happening, but I feigned Innocente. I wanted her to admit it. “What did I do?”
My denial only seemed to infuriate her more. “You told my brother… so he would call me… and I’d be
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I insisted.
away… You…
Edith no longer had the strength to argue. She started to tremble, scanning her surroundings before taking off.
I knew it she had spiked my drink!
She had asked for this, but out of some twisted sense of ethics, I decided to follow her. “Where are you going, Edith?!”
She ignored me, getting into her car and driving off.
I rushed to my own car. Before I could drive away, someone called out, “Taylor!”
