Chereads / Married to my nemesis / Chapter 26 - Tea

Chapter 26 - Tea

A new day, feeling the bliss of the early morning, Phoebe sat up her bed with a smile on her face. 

Gently opening her eyes, she stretched her arms with a yawn that came out of her mouth. 

She turned to the window to see it was opened, she stood up from the bed and then headed for the bathroom then changed into a jogger outfit. 

She took every material she needed for her morning jog and then on her way out of the house, she sprinted through the estate heading for her favourite environment. 

Just then she was unexpectedly joined by Mia. 

"Hey," Mia said as she moved nigher to her. 

"Hi." 

They joggled a while leaving the atmosphere in an awkward situation, to lessen the spirit, Mia decided to converse with her. 

"So how is your evidence going on, about Enim? I heard yesterday you got Enim stabbed in the back." 

Phoebe stopped with a grimace. 

"How did you get that information ?" She questioned out of curiosity. 

"Oh, about that, I came to your house to meet you but you weren't around. I asked Nanny Britney about your whereabouts then she told me." 

"Oh," Phoebe nodded as she gulped water from her bottle placing a calm look on but inwardly, she was suspicious about the matter. 

She knew Britney would tell her about her whereabouts but she didn't think Britney would have told her what had exactly happened. 

Enim was right, there was something weird about Elizabeth.

It was good she discussed the matter with Enim when they were at the hospital. 

"Besides, what are you talking about? I'm still looking up for evidence I could use against her but Enim is involved in something shady, " Phoebe added. 

"You're right. She hovers around Vixen so why wouldn't she be involved in something hefty?" 

"Are you jealous?" Phoebe intentionally said as Elizabeth scoffed and then she giggled. 

"What are you saying? Why would I be jealous of that slut? I'm just saying, I wonder how she's trapping Vixen. Someone like him is someone who you would die for but yet I wonder how Vixen isn't recognizing it. An individual will beg the Lord to make Vixen his or her master but Enim she is the one who's pushing him around." 

"Are you sure about your words?"Phoebe adjusted the head of her bottle placing it on a proximate pavement from the place she planned on taking yoga exercises. 

"Believe me, I couldn't believe it when I heard Vixen say he was going to choose Enim as his wife. At that moment, I was sure she was nothing but a prostitute and just as exactly as I thought. When I made a background check, I discovered my instincts were true. "

"So what are you planning on doing about her?" Phoebe stated as she continued to hear Elizabeth blabber while she began to take stretches on the low grass. 

"I don't know but I'll think of something, at least she will recognize her place. I'm planning on making my move at least before their wedding." 

"Hmm, I just hope you're careful, you don't want to mess with her."

"She should be the one who should be scared of me."

"Okay," Phoebe said with a small smile, and then she walked back to gulp water from her bottle. 

When she gulped her bottle, she frowned, the taste of the water was different she stared absentmindedly for a while, and then she realized the content she had taken was not water but it was green tea. 

She immediately raised her bottle to see if the design was hers but then she noticed the customized letter on her bottle was different. 

The bottle wasn't hers. 

"Who's the owner of this bottle?" She managed to get the words out of her mouth. 

"I think that might be my bottle," a deep voice replied as he was about to hand Phoebe her bottle. 

Just at gaze, Phoebe placed a haughty expression on. 

"Wait a minute, did you drink from your bottle?" Elizabeth asked as she approached them. 

"Yeah, I-" The guy couldn't complete his sentence interrupted by the wet touch from the tea that was spout out of Phoebe's mouth.

She looked at him in a disgusted expression. 

"Oh my gosh, I can't believe, oh my mouth," she cried as she continued to spit every taste of tea she could take from her mouth. 

She felt irked she couldn't believe she had taken from another person's bottle. 

When she had enough of spitting everything out, she found it difficult to say a word to the guy after what had happened so she left leaving Elizabeth. 

In the meanwhile Mia stood there speechless, she looked at the guy thinking if she will collect Phoebe's bottle or not but then the silent guy made it harder for her to say a word and so she ended up leaving the place as she rushed towards Phoebe. 

"Wait," she yelled till she reached Phoebe and then she pattered her on the shoulder. 

Just then Phoebe took a stop as Mia finally managed to take a breath because she had been running for a while. 

She placed her hands on her knees feeling as though she was strangled. 

With her heavy breath, it took a while for her to maintain herself and then she gulped her saliva as she stood. 

"I'll head home now, you should also go," Phoebe stated calmly before she could speak. 

"Okay, what about Enim?" 

"There's no need, isn't it about her? I'll look up for more information I can get." She said trying to cover her embarrassed mood. 

"Okay," Elizabeth said. 

Then Phoebe was the first to leave the area as they both headed home. 

When Phoebe got home, she had a serious bath, she took her brush scrubbing her teeth like it was going to remove some dirt. 

Her hands moved back and forth handling the brush more than usual. 

The more she did it she couldn't help but remember his serene black eyes, his caramel skin that shone like jade, his muscular physique, and his, she spat the paste in disgust, it was Elizabeth's fault she had to drink from an unknown person's bottle.

She wondered what kind of mouth disease he'd probably have, on second thought, she brushed her teeth like it had some virus that needed to be vaccinated not until she was satisfied. 

When she came out of the bathroom, she took her laptop so she could check if there was response from the voice note she sent to her cyber team. 

Her eyes grew sad as she received a disappointing message, the voice note she sent was not something for them to crack easily and produce the real voice, she needed to be patient just for a while so she could receive the actual voice of the audio. 

Phoebe heaved a deep breath, she took her phone and then dialed Enim's number but after some rings, it got no answer. 

"I'm sorry, I can't speak right now, maybe later," she received an instant message from Enim. 

What was she going to do?

Phoebe immediately texted Enim she was okay with whatever she said. 

For the main while, Phoebe had nothing to do since the date was Saturday, so that meant her mother would be at work, and as for her, there was nothing to do. 

Worse, the atmosphere of the house was boring. 

So without any other options, just to fill the void, she scanned through her laptop just to look for some unfinished work. 

While she was doing her job, she heard a knock on the door. 

"Come in," she calmly stated and then her aunt came inside with a trolley containing a cup of tea and toasted bread. 

"Morning dear," her aunt greeted as she placed the trolley at the side of the bed. 

"Aunt Lia?"

"Oh dear, you've been in your room for so long and I thought I come to give you your food. The house is so boring since this morning and I haven't seen your brother, why may that be?" She asked as she sat on the bed. 

"He's out of the country, he'll be returning from school next week," Phoebe nonchalantly responded taking a sip of the tea her aunt dropped for her, while she took from it, her eyes were still on the laptop. 

"Phoebe, Dear. If you don't mind, I would like to ask about your sister's death?" 

Phoebe frowned though she nodded.

" What do you want to say? " she said still looking at the laptop. 

"I only heard she'd passed away but could you tell me what happened? Was it some kind of disease?" 

"Aunt Lia," she stated coldly as she raised her head, Lia shuddered from her gaze. 

"What was your source we haven't told the news about her death yet. We're still waiting for a while to get over her death." 

"What dear, you know that the source could come from your mother, and why shouldn't I try to get informed? I'm concerned about this family, especially after what happened to my sister's husband. " 

"Aunt, I think is best for you to know at this moment that she is dead." 

" In that sense, you mean I should keep the knowledge that she was killed, right? " When Phoebe heard her words, she mistakenly took her tea hot just for her to spit it.
