As soon as Xaden switched off the tap,he knelt beside Mira and tried to calm her down but it seemed she already was,not because he put off the tap but because of his appearance,she just had that complete trust that with her hubby by her side,she was safe.
When Xaden saw that she was calm,he heaved a sigh of relief and placed a soft kiss on her forehead before he moved to lock the bathroom door and proceed with her bathing.
As soon as the bathroom door was closed, Daniella appeared from the shadows as she came out of her hiding place holding her chest and trying to calm her racing heart, Xaden had almost caught her.
'That was close ' she thought before she silently crept out of her hiding position with the vial of medicine clutched tightly in her hands.
Daniella's eyes glinted with cold precision,her movements calculated and merciless as she looked around wondering where to start from in search of the medicines,she was about to move towards Mira's Wardrobe first when her eyes darted towards the huge bed and zeroed in on the medicine kit box.
Her eyes widened in disbelief and her heart sang for joy the moment she noticed them, Xaden had just indirectly saved her the stress of looking for the drugs, things would be easier from here on.
With smooth and practiced movements,she tiptoed towards the bed and immediately reached out for the box,in a split second,she began opening everyone of them hoping to see one with the exact shape and size with the replacement.
She was already on the 4th bottle and she was beginning to lose hope as they were all thick and long capsules but alas as she reached for the shortest bottle and opened it,her shoulders relaxed in relief and a sinister smile crawled on her face,they weren't exactly the same but it would be hard to tell the difference.
Daniella's smile as she took the bottle was as sharp and cruel as a scarpel. " This should do the trick" she whispered,the gleeful malice in her voice betraying the dark thoughts that twisted in her mind .
As Xaden tended to his wife in the bathroom,his attention fully absorbed in the task at hand, Daniella with a look of ruthless determination in her eyes began emptying the real drug's content, turning the capsules into a small paper bag in her hand and as soon as it was empty,she quickly replaced the content with the one in her hand,her eyes focused on the bathroom door, ready to hide at the sound of any click.
As soon as the deed was done, she quickly covered the bottle back with a quiet and efficient motion,her fingers twitching with anticipation for the moment the consequences of her sabotage unfold.
Daniella quickly turned around to leave the room but her eyes suddenly landed on the tea Xaden had made for Mira which was just on the bedside table.
As she stared at the tea in jealousy Daniella's darkest mind administered to her telling her to dip a pill into the tea so that Mira drinks it and Xaden later gives her another pill making it double which could drive her to the brink of insanity wherein she couldn't ever come back as the result of taking two of that dangerous killer pills at once could be very fatal,she could even die if care wasn't taken but then Daniella was quick to change her mind as it was too risky an operation because the tea was very rich and thick and there was no telling if the pill would be quick to dissolve before in it before Xaden arrived and offered it to her,what if it didn't dissolve and Xaden finds it in the tea, that would only mean disaster.
As so as much as she wanted to, Daniella could only shove away thoughts of adding a capsule to the tea.
She quickly and quietly exited the room, leaving no trace of her crime and upon reaching her room,she closed her door and gently cracked her neck bones before she looked up at the time which had just hit 10:30,she wasn't going to sleep just yet,no,she was gonna stay awake to witness her Sabotage unfold,to see Mira go crazy,to see her scream her lungs out and that too in pain.
She quietly lay on the bed,her two hands over her head as she watched the clock tick
Back in the room, Xaden finished bathing Mira and dressed her up and while she relaxed,he rushed down to do something,he had so much work to do today and hence he was probably gonna be up working till morning.
As Xaden came back into the room ,he spotted his wife on the bed seating quietly, Xaden's lips twitched as he berated himself for being so irresponsible by letting her stay awake till this hour,it was so late.
He walked towards the bed and began taking out the medicines to give to her as he poured a glass of water for her from the jug.
Because the anti relaxant was still active in her body,Mira didn't put up any struggle as Xaden gave her the first three pills,she quietly took them and sat back waiting for the remaining two.
Xaden was very pleased that his love was so compliant today and he couldn't wait to reward her tomorrow with anything she wanted even though he knew it was the power of the anti relaxant.
Taking the last two medicine bottles in his hands,he stretched his hands towards Mira's mouth for her to take one of them.
Mira opened her mouth to take them but as soon as an unfamiliar and strange whiff from the medicine reached her nose,she withdrew back in shock, looking at her husband with a confused expression.
'Why did her drugs smell different today'
