POISON 2
Layla and Nolan sat down in the large dining room as they waited for their breakfast to be served.
Present at the table were Carla, Keisha and Darren. The palace was a very big place and everyone lived comfortably.
“How are you doing?” Nolan asked Layla. He had been so busy for the past few days as he had to lay some things in order in the pack, so he’s not really been around but he was sure Keisha was keeping Layla’s company.
“I’m good as you can see..” Layla replied as Sarah served her portion of food, the other maids serving the others.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Thanks..” Layla smiled at her as Sarah stepped back.
“Was that really necessary?” Nolan asked as Layla turned to look at him, they were both sitting near each other.
“What?” She asked with narrowed brows.
“You’re the Luna. There was no need to say thanks. She’s meant to serve you..” he stated. He noticed that Layla was humbling herself too much before maids.
“Thanks Mr adviser. But I like being that way. It’s good to be nice..” she flashed a smile as she returned her attention to get food.
“I’m organizing a coronation party for you..” Nolan informed and Layla turned to face him again.
“Why?” She asked. She didn’t want any party.
“You’re going to be crowned as the queen” he informed.
“It’s going to be held during the end of the month but if you’re not comfortable with that, you can choose a date yourself..” he added.
“No need. Choose the date yourself. I’m okay with anything you choose..” she stated. The month end was just a week away.
“By the beginning of next month also. I’ll be taking you to the hospital..” he said again.
“Why?”
“You have an appointment with Karen. It will be the first Friday of every month..” she uttered and Layla smiled brightly. If she had an appointment with Karen, that means she would be allowed to leave here, that was a perfect chance to visit Aurora and Regan.
“Really?” She asked, feeling excited.
“Yes..” he confirmed.
“That’s great, I’m looking forward to that..” she announced happily.
“But you’re not looking forward to your coronation..” Nolan reasoned out, she didn’t look this excited when he told her about that.
“I’m happy for both..” she said.
“Do you guys have any hospitals here?” She asked as she saw no reason why he was going through the stress of allowing her to go to New York.
“We do. And it’s full of experienced doctors. I’m just using this as one of the means to make it up to you..” he confessed. He knew that she would be very happy by this news.
“That’s a good try..” she smiled, shaking her head.
“Nolan and Layla. Aren’t you guys going to eat? Your food is getting cold..” Carla interrupted from where she sat as she smiled at them.
Layla has been speaking too much, she should just go ahead and eat the food, so she Could go join her ancestors.
“Eat your food…” Nolan said as Layla focused her attention on her food. She picked up the spoon and was about to have a bite when someone suddenly brushed her plates off the table.
Shattering sounds of breaking plates were heard as everyone suddenly stood up in surprise.
Layla did the same as she looked shocked.
“What’s the meaning of this bullshit?” Nolan focused his attention on Sarah who stood, shaking like a chicken who had been drenched in the rain.
Carla also stood as she fumed in anger, that fool just ruined her plans.
“I’m sorry your highness I just can’t do this..” Sarah cried as she fell on her knees. She couldn’t stand to kill an innocent woman along with her child.
Her conscience wouldn’t allow her to do so, she loved her family no doubt, but she would only be bringing a curse upon them if she spilled innocent blood.
“Do what?” Nolan asked as he went ahead to hold Layla close, as she looked visibly shaken.
“Please forgive me your highness..” she knelt in front of Layla’s leg ignoring the cuts she received from the broken plates.
“You’re very kind and I just can’t bring myself to kill you..” she confessed and realization dawned on everyone, she had been paid to poison Layla.
Carla on the other hand found herself seated pretty profusely, no doubt she was going to get caught. The fool had ratted her out.
“You’re still too young to lose your life, I’m sorry…” she wept. Everyone liked the Luna. She was kind to everyone.
She didn’t boss around, she was humble to a fault and she just can’t see someone as good as her dying.
“Who sent you?” Nolan asked as his eyes suddenly turned red. Someone was trying to kill Layla.
“It was…” she stammered as her eyes slowly traveled to Carla.
“If you talk I’ll kill everyone you love” Carla mouthed to her and she suddenly burst out crying. Carla was cruel and would definitely keep to her promise, there was only one thing left for her to do.
“Please Luna. Don’t drag my family into this. Please, my family is innocent. Please promise that you’ll let them be. My son is just five years old, he still has a long life ahead of him. Please let him live..” she begged Layla in tears.
“I’m sorry…”
“Who sent you? Speak and I will consider lessening your punishment” Nolan stated but she had other plans in mind.
Before anyone could even say anything, she brought out a knife from under her uniform.
“No, don’t!!” Layla yelled but it was too late as Sarah drove the heart right through her heart and she instantly fell dead.
“No. Jesus! Nolan you can’t let her die..” Layla stammered her face brimming with tears.
“Let’s get out of here..” Nolan said, holding Layla’s hand. There was nothing he could do for Sarah now, she laced the knife with silver, that was the reason she died so quickly.
But he’d definitely find the real culprit behind this and make sure he punished them.
“Come on…”
“Darren take care of this mess. Meet me in my study room in an hour’s time..” Nolan ordered as he took a shaken Layla away.
