? Kennedy’s pov?
“Drink it Neddy.” She ordered sternly. My legs were trembled with fear.
“Ma’am?”
“Odette what’s wrong? Neddy drop the coffee on the table and leave.” He said and went over to sit on the couch.
“Not until she drink the shit she prepared. I want you to drink the trash you called coffee. It tasted sour and how in hell would you think my husband is gonna drink it? And one more thing, did you add something to it?” She uttered and collected the coffee from me. She sniffed the coffee and widened her eyes.
I was kinda relieved when she didn’t mention poison. I guess she didn’t know yet.
“It smells like…
I quickly snatched the coffee from her and smiled anxiously. “No ma’am, I actually added sweet leaves to the coffee. My Grandma told me is good to have it with a morning coffee.” I lied hoping she believe.
She dropped the file she was holding on the table. “Sweet leaf? I’ve never heard it before or kyle have you heard it?” He glanced back.
“Nope.”
“Why am I feeling like you’re lying Neddy. Drink it, remember it’s just coffee.” She smirked.
“Yeah, sure ma’am.” I lifted the coffee with a shaking hand just about to drink it I let the poured on my body.
“Oh my g©sh, I’m sorry.” I bend over while Odette quickly rushed to me staring at the coffee on the floor.
“I’m sorry ma’am.” I apologized almost cried.
“How clumsy?” Kyle scoffed.
“Get out and tell Emma to come clean this mess.” She ordered. I hesitated before rushing out of the room.
I rest my back on the wall panting hard. What if I actually drank the coffee, so I’m gonna die? I need to be more careful next time. I’m so glad she didn’t find out about the truth.
“What dimwit Ken, you are going to get into trouble next time if you ain’t careful enough.” I mumbled to myself and walked away.

?Odette?
“What were you thinking Odette? Sometimes I found you a little bit strange.” Kyle uttered.
“I know that.” I dropped the file on the table and sat on the couch facing him.
“You get me another coffee then.” He said. I chuckled and rolled my eyes.
“Sure, if you’ve drank the one she brought… It’ll burn your throat down to your intestine. She has poisoned the coffee and I don’t think Emma did it.” I sighed.
“What do you mean?” He was perplexed.
“Neddy is dangerous Kyle, she’s working for someone. She’s here for a mission.”
“But you drank it, are you okay? I need to take you to the hospital.” He stood up and grabbed his car key while I sat back watching him.
“Poison has no effect on me…”
“You should have told me from the beginning. I’m just gonna call the corps now.” He tried to make a phone call but I stopped him.
“Don’t Kyle. I need to talk to Ashley urgently.” I hit my forehead frustratedly.
“Excuse me woman, don’t bring my daughter into this mess. I can’t risk her life for anything in this world, how would you think of such.” he scolded.
“I guess you don’t know who your daughter is. Listen to me love, there’s no evidence against Neddy. Yeah she poison the coffee and there’s nothing any doctors can do to find out because it would yield a whole different answer. The poison is rare and can only be found in Samar or underworld cave which is Sharon’s hometown, to test the poison you have to get the rare paper if it burns the paper then it’s poison. I knew immediately I drank the coffee but I just have to play cool. So kyle let her be.”
“What? What are you saying?”
“If you have her arrested another person is coming after us. First it’s Blair and now it’s Neddy. We can only get to the bottom of the matter only if we play cool Kyle.”
“I still don’t get you Odette.” He shrugged his shoulders.
“Don’t worry I got this.” I winked at him while he rolled his eyes.

??Ashley??
“Put it there.” Neddy dropped my backpack on the bed.
“Do you need anything ma’am?” She asked and bowed a little.
“Not really.”
“Okay ma’am I’ve prepared your bathtub.” She divulged before leaving the room.
“Bitch!” I scoffed.
Mummy stepped in after awhile. She has that delighted smile on her face as she moved close leisurely.
“Hi mummy.” I rushed to her and engulfed her in a warm embrace.
“How are you honey?” She pecked my hair and smile.
“I’m fine.”
“I can see that mere looking at your pretty eyes.” I buried my face in my palms for seconds while blushing.
“So what can I do for you? I know you didn’t come here without a reason, so what’s it?”
“Did you read my mind?”
“Of course not, you know it’s not possible mummy.” She sighed.
“Puff.” She puffed out air. “Do you know anything about Neddy? I mean, anything suspicious about her?”
“Why are you asking me this mummy?” I inquired.
“Because I know you. I think it’s high time you tell me everything you know. She tried to kill you dad today.”
“What the hell? And mom what did you do? What is she still doing here?” I asked infuriatingly.
“Calm down dear.” She helped with the strand of my hair and tagged it behind my ear. “It didn’t happen. I was fast enough to stopped her.”
“You should have killed her right away.”
“But I didn’t”
“Why?”
“Because this is not the right time to do so. If we kill Neddy or have her arrested someone is still coming after us.”
“Then stop hiring people.”
“Then you have to quit going out too, can you do it?. If they didn’t get the chance to be in this mansion they’d surely find another way out. The only way I can find where Kennedy is, is through Neddy. They shared the same connection.”
“Did she know anything yet?”
“Nope.”
“I knew it.”
“You didn’t want her here in the first place, why?”
“She’s here to kill dad and I. I read her mind and that was how I found out she’s here for a mission.”
“You did what?”
“Okay I’m sorry mummy, I know I broke your promise.”
“It’s all right.”
“Kennedy, Myra, Blair, Neddy and Pedro are working together.”
“Nope they’re working for Kennedy. So who’s Myra?”
“The lady I accidentally punished… You remember her now.”
“Your friend.”
“She’s never my friend mummy. Myra seems to be Kennedy’s daughter, Pedro has a strong connection with Myra and Kennedy.”
“I don’t think Kennedy has a child.” She shrugged.
“How sure are you? Mummy Pedro has a casino, there’s a way to find out about their identity. If Kennedy absconded the prison through breaking fire then there’s a chance she didn’t make it alive and if she does it’s half percent.”
“What are you insinuating?”
“Think big mummy, we heard that one of the guy that broke into the prison died during their mission what if Kennedy’s been hospitalized right now?”
“Wait! It’s getting more interesting now. Neddy has Kennedy’s voice, she behaves and walks like her… Don’t tell me.”
“Great, Neddy might be an imposter, Kennedy must have done a plastic surgery.” I burst into delighted laughter.
“What do we do?”
“Anel, Arthur, Fredrick and I are going to look into pedro’s casino while you find out the truth about Kennedy.” I winked. “How about that?”
“Sure. Be careful and please don’t let kyle knows anything about it yet.”
“It’s okay.”
