Serene's Pov
Her eyes were red and bulging the next morning. I watched as she harshly demanded a cup of coffee from a maid.
“You i***t!” She threw the scalding hot cup of coffee back at the maid who served it. “Cream! Cream! I asked for Cream, you dumb animal!”
The maid hurried away, face dripping with the liquid. As she came back out from the kitchen with the coffee, I took it from her.
“I'll serve her. Go take care of your face.”
There was visible relief in the maid's eyes as she relinquished the cup. “Thank you.”
She fled and I took out a tiny bottle, and poured a few drops into the cup, and watched the liquid swirled for a moment before settling, dark and innocent-looking.
Then I headed towards the dining room.
I wanted to get up close and see the result of what would happen.
