POISON
A few days passed and Layla found the pack comfortable. Everyone was good and nice to her.
Keisha mostly as she told her a lot of things she needed to know about the pack.
She promised to take her on a tour soon and Layla was happy to do that.
“What do you want to have for breakfast?” Keisha asked as they alighted the stairs.
“I think I’ll have grilled chicken today. I’m seriously craving that. ” She stated.
“Noted! I’ll ask the maids to ask you that..” Keisha informed as Layla gave her a warm smile.
“Look, it’s Nolan..” Keisha pointed out as Nolan looked up to see Nolan talking to Carla.
She looked quite shocked to see Carla as she has not seen her since they came to the pack.
She saw Carla holding a luggage and she looked angry.
“Come on..” Keisha motioned as they walked to where Carla and Nolan were.
“Hi Carla..” Keisha waved at Carla who only spared a glance at her.
“I see you just arrived but why did you look angry?” Keisha asked.
“Because I’m pissed!” Carla muttered as she gritted her teeth in anger. Seeing Layla angered her the more.
“I’m so f*cking pissed right now..” she says as she fumed in anger. She just arrived in the pack after finding out from Xander that Layla and Nolan were long gone.
She was prepared for victory and couldn’t wait for when Nolan would throw Layla out. But none of that happened, instead she was the one utterly embarrassed.
Not only did Nolan refrain from picking her calls, he also didn’t tell her that he was returning to the pack. She had high hopes when she visited the company only to hear from Xander that Nolan had left. Not only did he leave, he took Layla Along.
Which only meant that he accepted the pregnancy, she had no idea how Layla did it, but she was completely surprised that Nolan didn’t throw her out
“And why’s that?” Keisha asked and her face slowly moved to Layla.
It was all because of Layla, her presence ruined her life, her showing up in Nolan’s life, ruined everything for her.
“Because Nolan left me in New York and didn’t bother to tell me that he was coming back…” she uttered, forcing her anger to be at bay, she would make sure to get back to Layla.
“But why are you getting worried over that? Nolan’s not your guardian.” Layla was the one who spoke this time, she just couldn’t get why Carla was always around Nolan.
At first she thought that they were dating but it seemed Nolan held no romantic feelings towards her. But she was always around him.
Carla glanced sideways at Layla as she felt the urge to walk up to her and strangle her but she decided to stick to her plan which was to play nice and bite from the back.
Then no one would ever point a finger at her if anything ever happened to Layla, because she was sure she would do something nasty soon. Nolan was hers.
“I..” she began but Nolan interrupted them.
“Go to your room Carla. I’m busy..” he says out curtly before leaving all of them there.
“Come on Layla, let’s go to the kitchen..” Kiesha said and they both left, also leaving Carla there.
Carla’s fist curled as she watched them leave. She heaved in anger and then suddenly an idea hit her at the mention of the world kitchen. She knew exactly what to do.

“Yes ma, you called for me…” A maid said as she walked into Carla’s room.
“Lock the door behind you..” Layla instructed and she did just that.
“You’re Sarah right?” She asked with a sinister smile on her lips.
“Yes I am..” Sarah stammered in fear as she wondered why Carla called her. Everyone in the palace knew her to be very cruel. She always went around parading herself as a peacock, feeling like she was going to be Luna someday.
Being summoned by her only meant bad luck.
“Move closer..” Carla motioned for Sarah to move closer to her and she did just that.
“Have this..” Carla threw a wad of dollars notes to her and Sarah’s face squeezed in confusion.
“I learnt that your mother is sick and you need money for medicine..” Carla informed and Sarah shook her head in agreement.
“Use that to treat your sick mother..” she said and Sarah froze. Why was the cruel miss being suddenly nice to her?
“Thank you ma. I’m so grateful..” She appreciated it. Her mother had been battling with a disease and she found it difficult to raise money for her.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“Not so fast. You have to do something for me in return..” Carla said as she laughed.
“As you know. Nothing goes for nothing,” she started laughing frantically.
“I’ll do anything to pay back..” Sarah said as she was anxious to save her sick mother.
“Over there.. ” Carla pointed at a small bottle that was sitting on top of her dressing table and Sarah slowly walked there as she picked up the strange bottle.
“What’s this for?” She asked curiously as she stared at the bottle which had no label on it.
“You are amongst the people that serve the Luna right?” Carla asked and Sarah shook her head slowly.
“Good. Your job is simple. Mix that in Layla’s food..” Carla instructed. She had decided to end Layla for good. Not just Layla but the baby in her womb.
“What!!” Sarag exclaimed in shock as she froze. What was Carla seriously asking her to do?
“Mix it in Layla’s food, then she’d be gone from my life for once..” Carla snapped in a cold tone.
“I can’t do that ma..” she stuttered. She was asking her to take a life.
“You don’t have a choice Sarah. Do it and save your mother. I know how much you love her, so this is the only way to save her. You have to do it!”
“Besides you don’t have a choice, you’ve already touched my money. If you don’t do it, I’ll kill you, your son and your daughter, then I’ll go for your parents..” Carla threatened and that seemed to have worked the trick.
Sarah loved her family a lot and couldn’t afford to see them die, Carla definitely knew the right person to use for this job.
“I’ll do it..” she uttered as she gripped the bottle tight.
