Chapter One Hundred and Three

KAIDA’S POV

My plan had worked perfectly, even though at every step I expected it to fail.

I had taken a dose of the sleeping potion. I had drugged myself just to get to him, but I also had the antidote, a capsule hidden in my palm.

I felt guilty even as I kissed him; he had given me so much that night, and I was going to hurt him in return. I had no right to do that, and yet I did. The moment we were on the bed and I felt the drug working its way into my head, making me warm and drowsy, I swallowed the pill, freeing myself from its grasp.

Alexander, on the other hand, didn’t seem the least bit affected. I feared the potion had no effect on him.

I forced my breathing to steady, forced myself to relax, and somehow drifted into a light sleep. I was still very aware of the time. Alex had finally fallen asleep, I didn’t think I would get a chance like this ever again.

I slipped from his firm hold a few hours before dawn. He stirred–damn, the drug wasn’t as effective on him as I had hoped. But then he stilled, and I seized my chance to escape. I missed his warmth almost instantly. I gave him one last look, the guilt tightening in my chest.

I wish I could tell him, but Aric was right; it was best he didn’t know. At least not yet.

I grabbed the bag I had already prepared and tiptoed out of our apartment. My chest hurt; for a moment, I wondered if I was making the right decision. I took out the letter my father had left for me and reread it. I needed strength; the fury and anger I felt after reading the letter was motivation enough. I headed to Aric’s room, knowing Alex would be pissed when he found out I had left with him.

I would have to handle that when I got back; I would do my best to explain and hope he understands, but for now, I had someone I needed to murder, and her name was Cynthia.
