Hell marriage

Chapter 14: Caught red handed.

Ava sighed as the last food tray was taken out of the kitchen, she has been on her feet long enough for her bones to ache.

She trodded out of the kitchen and made way to her room.

“My lady?” She heard the kitchen matron said

“Yes?” She answered sluggishly

“If I may ask, do you want your food in your room?” She asked

“Oh no, I just feel the need to take a shower, my bones ache after standing for so long” Ava said to the disturbed lady, she wondered why she looks disturbed.

Ava’s POV

I got to my door and saw Carrissa walking towards me, now what does she want with me?

“So you’re still here and not trying to flee? you’ve got guts you know, to do what you did and you’re still here” she smirked

I’m not ready for her rantings this night I hurt all over

“Look I’m not ready for your drama tonight and…..”

“Oh, ha ha ha, trust me you don’t want to be, because tonight you’ll either end up in prison or be thrown out but I’ll make sure I’ll separate you from Connor” She smiled in an evil way

“I don’t know why you’ve got it in your brain that you’ll be able to separate Connor and I, you know what? You’re a sick person that needs help and if you don’t get it soon….”

“Oh you think after poisoning him, he’ll still want you?, you’re so gullible” She said laughing

“We will settle our differences and we will move on, wait and see it will only take a little time” I told her shakily

“Ha ha ha, no you wait and see I’ll make your life so bitter, I promise you, I’ll separate you two or my name isn’t Carrissa” she said glaring at me, she left me standing and marched towards the dinning area.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“You’re sick in the head” I said to her disappearing back

I entered my room and stripped.

…………….

The situation was tense in the dinning room, Carrissa glided in, looked at everyone’s grim face and smilled, her plan was working so she sat down comfortably.

“We found this in her room your highness” Nicholas presented a parcel to Connor

“Are you sure of it’s contents?”” He asked, his shoulders set rigidly

“Yes sire” Nicholas said stiffly

Connor pranced the floor several times and glance at his wrist watch every 3 minutes, finally Ava enters the room and room goes so quite, if a pin is dropped it will be heard as loudly as if it’s an heavy iron. Ava was so caught up in whatever she was thinking that she didn’t notice every one’s gaze trained on her most especially Connor’s set of burning eyes

Ava glanced up as she is about to pull out her chair, and realized everyone is focused on her.

“Does the food not taste good?” She asks in haste she doesn’t understand, is there something wrong with the food she made?

“How could you?, I trusted you once again with the food and indirectly my life but the moment I made you assume your responsibility, you tried to kill me again, and this time you wanted to make sure I was going to die, right? ” Connor said, his voice as hard as rock.

“Connor, what are you saying?” she asked shaking

“I’m talking about the fact that you betrayed me yet again by letting Carrissa try to separate us again by trying to make it seem like you poisoned me twice!”

Surprised gasp went around the room, Ava held the back of the chair she was going to pull out for herself to stop herself from crumbling to the ground.

“What at you saying your highness? I didn’t do anything of the sort, I swear on the moon Goddess’s pride'” Carrissa said frantically as she flew up from her seat,

“You will shut up and I won’t hear you speak until your punishment is concluded on or else I’ll kill you right here myself” Connor said with his teeth clenched

Carrissa nodded many times, she swallowed, she must have realized that Connor has caught her red handed, there’s no hiding place for her now

“I realized something was wrong somewhere, if My wife wanted revenge for everything I did to her, she would have done that before now, then I remembered what happened that day, I wanted to start eating then this devil came and told all of us there was poison in my food, how did she know there was poison in my own particular food, I figured out then I started investigating her, I put trails on her, I wanted to know what she did on a daily basis ”

“I watched her every step, I put in motion my final plan by making my wife cook tonight and she set the trap for herself by poisoning my plate once again and planting the poison bottle In my wife’s room “.

Everyone were all shocked and can’t believe their ears, Ava gripped the chair, her face white and ghostly.

Ava’s POV

Everything makes sense to me now, when she was talking about me poisoning him earlier, she certainly wasn’t talking about that day, she was talking about today, getting me thrown out and all, so this was the sick plan she came up with, she stooped low just so to get Connor’s attention.

“Guards” Connor shouted angrily

“Yes your highness” two guards came into the room

“Take this animal away and make sure she is punished, with no food and water, I want her there until I decide her punishment, in three days time after the full moon, now take her away from my sight ” Connor said heavily

“No I’m sorry I was jealous, I won’t do this again ” Carrissa begged saying anything to make Connor stop them from taking her

“She has a date with the cell rats, take her along quickly, you wouldn’t want to keep them waiting will you?.” Connor said grimly.
