Chapter 14 Author:Yuu_FruityFruits Thallium poisoning doesnt leave the body naturally, and its undetectable in standard tests.
Audrey shouldnt have lasted this long.
Are you sure you gave me the right dose? That voiceit was Heather! Though her words were hushed, Audrey heard every syllable with crystal clarity.
Audrey froze, her mind reeling.
After countless hospital visits and inconclusive tests, she never imagined Heather was behind her mysterious illness.
What had she ever done to deserve this? Was Duncan really worth destroying another persons life? Look, Im marrying Duncan today, and Audrey needs to be out of the picture.
Permanently.
I dont care how you do itjust make it happen! Heather angrily ended the call, only to turn and find Audrey standing right there.
What did you hear? Heathers face drained of color, panic flashing in her eyes.
Though weak, Audreys voice was filled with fury.
Everything! It was you all along! You wormed your way into Quartet Enterprises just to poison me! Fine, you know the truth.
So what? Heather sneered.
What do you have to offer Duncan? No family connections, no Ivy League degreeyoure just a pretty face.
Duncans career is skyrocketing.
He needs a partner who can help build an empire.
The Leverton-Millington merger will create a business dynasty.
What can you bring to the table? Heathers words dripped with contempt.
You wont get away with this, Audrey warned.
If youd do this to me, youd do it to Duncan too.
I wont let that happen! Oh, really? Heather scoffed.
Look at youyoure barely standing.
Im shocked youve lasted this long, let alone made it to our wedding day.
Taking advantage of Audreys weakness, Heather grabbed her and dragged her toward the window.
What made you think you could compete with me? Youre not even in the same league! Audrey struggled feebly as Heather yanked her hair.
You shouldve died in France! You survived and had the audacity to come back? Trust me, you wont live to see tomorrow.
As Heather forced Audreys head out the window, Audrey suddenly began retching uncontrollably.
Heather froze, a horrifying realization dawning.
Her expression darkened, murder in her eyes.
Youre pregnant.
Youre actually pregnant! Duncan had always kept Heather at arms length, yet somehow, hed been intimate with Audrey! Heathers nails dug into her palms.
She was supposed to be Duncans wife! Audrey had to die.
Today.
Just as Heather prepared to act, footsteps echoed behind them.
It could only be Duncan.
In a flash, Heather pulled Audrey back and switched their positions.
Audrey, stop! Please dont kill me! she cried out, her voice quavering with mock terror.
