Vanessa POV’s
I walked around the mansion, my eyes moving from each rooms looking for an exit, but every door led only to more hallways, and every window was barred or locked. The doors which were opened had guards watching over it, it was quite impossible to escape, even though I tried to, I’d be caught within a few minutes.
“That bastard!” I spat angrily, not wanting to accept defeat. How could he do this to me, despite knowing the kind of danger my family was in, my brother might start fighting amongst themselves.
As I stood there tiredly not knowing what to do, I was surprised to see Sonia walking to my direction, it wasn’t time for dinner yet, so I wondered what she might be doing here.
“Good evening Vanessa,” she said and I smiled warmly, but I couldn’t help but notice the smell of dried meat on her, guess she must have been in the kitchen.
“You smell like…”
“And you smell like s*x,” she interrupted and my eyes widened. f**k! I haven’t showered since I left Gnero, Instead I’ve been gallivanting around looking for how to escape.
I cleared my throat in embarrassment as I hid my flushed face away from her.
“What are you doing here Sonia?” I asked, changing the subject, I didn't know want to have such conversations with her. She’s familiar with me now, that's why she’s sharp tongued.
“Boss wanted me to prepare dinner based on your preference,” she replied and my brows furrowed as I wondered what in the world was wrong with him, we just had an argument a while ago and now he’s acting caring, he’s more pretentious than I thought.
“Prepare anything you like,” I replied, attempting to leave but she stopped me.
“Just say something Vanessa, I’ll be punished if boss discovers this,” she said and I rolled my eyes. It annoys me whenever he’s held in a high caliber as if he’s above everyone.
“How will you be punished? He wouldn’t know about this would he?” I asked and she sigh in desperation as she approached me.
“Please ma’am, just say something if you don’t, there’s no way boss wouldn’t find out, this could cost me my job,” she pleaded and I could see she was in a difficult position, with the way she reacted, she didn’t even call me by my name.
“Pasta, cheese and steak,” I reluctantly said and a big smile graced her face.
“Thank you Vanessa, I’d take my leave now,” she said hurriedly and she attempted to leave when an idea popped into my head.
Oh Vanessa! You’d forever be a genius.
“Sonia, I’d like to assist in the kitchen,” I said and she hurriedly shook her head.
“No, you can’t stress yourself, just let me handle this, I promise the food would be up to your taste, If that’s what you’re worried about,” she said and I smiled, it’d be easy to convince her.
“That’s not it Sonia, you’re a great cook I’m not worried about that. It’s just that I’ve been bored lately, always in my room without anything doing, I just want to do a thing or two. Please don’t turn me down,” I pleaded, holding her hand with a pathetic look on my face, I wanted to leave no room for negotiation.
“You…” she hesitated and I pressed on her hand a little bit.
“Fine, you can.”
“Thank you Sonia! You’re the only one who treat me well,” I said and I hurriedly embraced her, she was quite uncomfortable but I had to do it anyway.
Desperate times need desperate actions.
I pulled away from the embrace and I smiled at her. “I’ll be back. Wait for me in the kitchen. I just need to freshen up, like you said, I smell like s*x,” I chuckled nervously and she laughed as I ran into my room, hoping my plans would be executed perfectly.
….
I was standing in the kitchen as I watched Sonia, despite allowing me to help her out, she didn’t allow me to lift a finger, she was hellbent on not offending her boss.
With the way she was acting, it was difficult to put my plans into action since she was already done cooking.
I held my trousers pocket as I thought of what to do. I had brought Doxepin drugs with me, it’s a drugs I use to treat my insomnia, because It’s always difficult for me to fall asleep.
Now, I only needed to add Doxepin to the food, and everyone would fall asleep so I could escape, as simple as that.
Sonia had already started dishing out the food, so i knew I needed to distract her before it’d be too late.
“Ouch,” I suddenly screamed, holding my head. Sonia hurriedly rushed to me.
“Are you okay?” she panicked as she stared at me.
“N..no, it hurts, my head hurts,” I winced with a distorted face, holding my head in distress as my voice trembled.
“Oh no! I shouldn’t have brought you here,” she said worriedly as she helped me to a chair.
“Sit down here, I’ll get you something to ease the pain,” she said and she ran out of the kitchen.
A sly grin spread across my face, my eyes beaming with satisfaction as I realized my strategy was successful.
Not wanting to waste time, I carefully lifted the lid off the pot, revealing the steaming hot food inside. Discreetly I poured the Doxepin into the pot, stirring the mixture with a spoon to ensure it was evenly distributed. Satisfied with my handiwork, I closed the pot and took a seat, pretending as though nothing happened.
It didn’t take long before Sonia returned. “Here,” she said as she gave me medication and water, I hurriedly took it and swallowed it with water. My head actually hurts, but not as much as I faked it.
“You’ll be fine after resting. Go back to your room, I’d bring your food in a bit,” she said, I nodded with a smile as I walked out to my room waiting for my plans to be in full display.
Too bad I wouldn’t be able to see the look on Gnero’s face once I’m gone.
